WHERE ARE THEY?

Where are the lads of yesterday,
The comrades Of our youth?
Who vowed that they would never
stray,
Far from the path of truth;
A few we meet with now and then,
When on our way to church;
But others, ali, we ask again,
Where shall we turn to search?
Some more are sleeping meath the
sod,
Their dream of youth is DER;
We hope their spirits are with God,
At peace forevermore;
The mirror of the soul reflects
The bitterness and strife;
OF those who are the derelicts
Upon the sea of life.
They are the sheep the Shepherd
wants,
Who wandered far away;
Go bring them from their gloomy
haunts
Into the light of day;
To hear again the Shepherds call,
Just as in days of yore;
And let Him lead them one and all
Into His fold once more.
L. G. Ober.

PUNCTUATION.

Punctuation marks were first en-
ployed by Aristophanes, the famous
Greek dramatist, who lived centuries
before Christ The system devised
by him did not become generally
known and soon fell into compete
oblivion. 1t was nearly one thousand
years before any one made a similar
attempt.
In the time of Charles the Great,
two distinguished scholars, Alcuin
and Warnefrid, again introduced
punctuation marks, but their signs
also fell into disuse.
The present system of punctuation
as used in all modern languages with
insignificant variations, was intro
duced in the first half of the six
teenth century by the Venetian print
er, Aldus Manutius. He is the real
father of the punctuation marks
the period, comma, colon, semicelon
exclamation and Interrogation marks
apostrophe and inverted commas.
Printers gradually adopted Aldus
system, which finally became estab
lished throughout Europe.

THE END OF TERRY MpRLtY's TRI.

Mrs. Morley was indeed worried
Something must be done. In all the
twenty years of their married life;
through all the sickness of herself and
the eight babies intrusted to their care
by Almighty God, never had Torrance
Morley seemed more discouraged.
The trials of the first ten years of
their married life were met by both
with brave hearts and a prayer that
each particular trial would pass, and
in each and every instance the trial
did pass and both were brought closer
to God and were happier for It.
Torrance, though the same loving
husband and father, had become over
ambitious for the attainment of the
goods of this world, and consequently
less mindful of his eternal welfare
than had been his wont. He still at
tended Mass on Sundays and holy
days and approached the sacraments
regularly with Mollie and the children.
His language was ever pure, his ex-
ternal conduct beyond reproach in
every way; but the one woman in all
the world who would willingly lay
down her life for him If need be, could
see that the long strain was slowly but
surely telling on him; that he was los

was beginning to lay aside the hope
he had entertained Of obtaining some
degree of earthly comfort for himself

THE INTERESTING WOMAN.

The interesting girl is one who
goes through the world with her
eyes open. She does not let her life
center around herself, but rather con-
siders the needs of others, and tries
as Ruskin says so well, Ito please
people, and to serve them in dainty
ways" The girl who has mind
enough to be interesting has mind
enough to go under the surface when
choosing her companions and
friends. No bit of knowledge escapes
her; she gamers from her reading,
from her social opportunities, from
her walks and her daily work store
of incident and information. which
she utilizes as occasion demands.
The interesting girl, who by and
by, will be an interesting woman,
does not have false standards of
value; she aims to be natural. A
natural woman is the greatest power
in the world today. Let artifice,
sham or pretension enter into the
nature Of such woman and she
would become at once an unwelcOme
guest, where now she is hidden and
eagerly sought for. She is the very
sunshine of her home, simply be-
cause she is her own self, and never
tries to appear what she Is not.
And there is nothing specially oc.
cult or difficult In this matter. One
can be as interesting as ever woman
was since the world began, If one
will elect to be so. And neither good
looks nor good family, nor even good
feeling and good principle, will suf-
fee to keep one from being stupid and
tnonotonous, unless each is supple
mented by sweetness Of manner,
kindness Of heart. tact intelligence,

NEW IDEA IN TRANSPORTATION

Looking toward the transportation
facilities of the future, an American
electrical experimenter believes that
the chief means of travel will be
trains without wheels, running on
single tracks, and moving almost
without friction because they will
slide on runners separated from the
track by a thin film of water. In
short, the fact that one plate of glass
will glide practically without friction
over another if there is a thin layer
of water between them will be ap-
piled and worked out in running a
train. The idea Of train without
wheels is sufficiently surprising, but,
according to the writer, a Frenchman
had invented such a train just before
the Franco-Prussian War and the
project was not resumed afterWard,
although later French inventor
made some important improvements.
The advantage over modern transpor-
tation, if such trains become practical
BILE, is prophesied as noiselessness of
operation, equal carrying capacity, and
about twice as much speed. The idea
looks visionary; but after all it is not
wise to distrust possibilities for that
reason.

SMILES.

If you can laugh over your little
vexations and tell it so as to make
others laugh, you have mastered a
most desirable accomplishment
There are people who take the little
bothers of the day and turn them
into fun. Whatever comes, they find
it's humorous side, and force it to
contribute to the amusement of their
friends. In this age great many of
useful articles are manufactured out
of what our fathers considered waste
and refuse, but the most triumphant
illustration of this art is when one
uses the little irritating, perplexing
occurrences to make smiles of.

TEACHING CHILDREN TO SAVE.

Just as respect for authority-or
obedience-is one of the great corner
stones upon which rests the moral ex-
cellence of family, SO thrift or econ
omy is the foundation of its material
prosperity. A closer examination of
these two pillars, or cardinal virtues
of the ideal family shows that they
are closely related; they thrive where
self-restraint and prudence play e
leading role.
One of the many lessons which the
late war and the present high cost of
of national as we'll as domestic econ
omy.
AS class, we Americans are rather
reckless and prodigal with our mate
rial goods. We seem to live for the day
only, and display little or no regard
for what may come. This may be one
of the reasons why so many of our
families live from hand to mouth.
Although the present high cost of
living is deplorable evil, it will not
be without its good results, If we are
alert and willing enough to learn a
lesson which the present force Of cir
cumstances teaches us.
Some Of us are beginning to learn
how to get along with less, and to live
just as well if not better. "Trugality,"
according to William Penn, "is good

penses; the last is bestowing them to

ness; the last without the first begets

ness; the last without the first begets
prodigality"
Experiments are being introduced
into the schools of the various coun-
tries. 1t is, without doubt, big step
in the right direction, but, unless the
home puts into practice what is aimed
at in schools, these experiments can
not produce the desired results.
If children are taught even at a
tender age, never to waste anything,
no matter how small, they will soon
learn the value, and acquire the virtue
of thrift. There is only one danger
connected with the thrift idea: we
might, in our enthusiasm for it, carry
it to extremes and produce the de-
tested miser. Waste for wastes sake
is just as bad a feature as saving
merely for savings sake. There is
such a thing as well-spent penny,
and a wisely saved dollar. The penny
or nickel which is spent by child
for another's use or pleasure is not
wasted, and the idea of teaching chill
dren to help and to give from their
own savings will be splendid means
of avoiding opposite extremes. The
biggest givers are not always the most
generous, neither are the smallest al
ways the most stingy; generosity de-
ponds far more on the spirit with
which things are given than upon the
quantity that is offered.
A rich man may be just as frugal
in his meals as a poor man; the for
mer may have trained himself to fru-
gality by mere choice, the latter is
forced by necessity, but both may
raise frugaity to virtue. Frugality
like everything else should be
founded upon principle, thrift is a
positive virtue which may be acquired
in negative way. Just as we may
become thrifty by avoiding waste
The best method of teaching children
to be thrifty depends upon circun-
stances. There are the rich, the well.
TODD and the poor; prudence and
principle will bring the best results in
each case.
Years ago the idea that a penny
saved, is penny earned, and the wis
dom of layitg aside nest egg for a
rainy day, were inculcated almost
| from babyhood. Indeed, in those econ
omical times, Fourth Of July, the Cir
Gus, and Christmas were about the
only spending days for children-days
| anticipated months ahead and enjoyed
to the full.

or eight, must spend five or ten cents

of our youngsters circus and Christ

and the habit of boarding material

a certain extent, be earned in order

| time, to meet with dignity and compos
