THE SIN OF UNSELFISHNESS.
Moderation In All Things is the
Wise Woman's Law of Life.
Any virtue carried too far be
comes a vice. Industry is a virtue,
but the woman who is too in
dustrious to rest at the proper
time carries it too far and ruins
her health.
Charity becomes a viee when
it throws a veil over wicked
ness und protects an evil that
should be punished for the sake
of the innocent, The (1 rooks
were riht when ihey said that
the best rule to live by is "Do
ing nothing too much."
Moderation in all things, is
the wiso woman's law of life.
She will do nothing too much,
aud especially will she guard
against the sin of unselfishness
for in the home there is nothing
that works more subtly and
more surely for tho destruction
of virtue in the rest of the
household than extreme unsel
fishness on the part of the moth
er. As the children grow up, in
stead of becoming mother's
helpers, they are continually
waited on, growing daily more
selfish and helpless and rudeun
der such treatment. The boys
come in, throw a cap bore, a
jacket there, leave muddy tracks
all about; the unselfish mother
follows after without a murmur
wiping up and picking up. The
girls are no better. The moth
er makes herself such an unsel
fish drudge that it seemed quite
right and natural. They loll in
the easy chairs while mother
works and rests her weary
limbs on a straight back chair.
They lot her do all the work
and grumble when called upon
for the slightest help. The boys
let her get up first in the morn
ing, bring her own wood and
build the lire.
As they grow older they feel
no respect for the household
drudge, and even their affec
tion is tinged with a patroniz
ing pity. If any sacrifice must
be made it is always, the moth
er must be sacrificed. She stays
at home while the others go
about. She wears the shabby
dress and sha' 1 whilethe oth
ers enjoy the new fresh clothes.
She sleeps on the hard bed in
the shabby back room, and the
grown up daughters have the
best front room. She keeps
the tough piece of meat tor her
own plate, and serves all the
choicest portions to the others.
I She saves and pinches and la
' bors so the boys can go to col
lege and the girls to a stylish
school; and then when they
come home with their fine edu-
cations (as they think) they se-
cretly despise and are ashamed
I of the worn, wrinkled, shabbi
' ly-broken woman whom they
; call mother.

HE HAS MADE
He has made a success of this life if a few
Pause to weep at his bier when his journey is through;
If the smile on his face, and the words that he spake
Will be missed when he's gone, and if one heart shall ache
Because he is not here. Yes, if only one mourn,
The world is better for his being born.
He has made a success of this life if the end
Finds him tenderly borne to the grave by a friend;
If but one man shall say : "He was gentle and true,
His voice was a voice that I oft listened to.
I shall miss him," and weeping, shall turn from his door,
He has made a success, for no man can do more.
Success, when you sum it all up, isn't gold,
Nor is it in doing some deed that is bold;
For the money we make and the houses we build,
Mean nothing the moment our voice has been stilled;
But he has succeeded who, when he is gone,
In the heart of another is still living on.
INDIRECTION.
Fair are the flowers and the children,
Rare is the rose burst of dawn, but the secret that, clasps it is rarer,
Sweet the exultance of song, but the strain that precedes it is sweeter,
And never was a poem yet writ, but the meaning outmastered the metre.
Never a daisy that grows, . but a mystery guideth the growing;
Never a river that flows, but a majesty sceptres the flowing;
Never Shakespeare that soared, but a stronger than he did enfold him,
Never a prophet foretells, but a mightier seer hath foretold him.
Back of the canvas that throbs the painter is hinted and hidden;
Into the statue that breathes, the soul of the sculptor is bidden;
Under the joy that is felt lie the infinite issues of feeling;
Crowning the glory revealed is the glory than crowns the revealing.
Great are the symbols of being, but that which is symboled is greater;
Vast the created and beheld, but vaster the inward creator;
Back of the sounds broods the silence, back of the gift stands the giving;
Back of the hand that receives, thrill the sensitive nerves of receiving,
Space is as nothing to spirit, the deed is outdone by the doing;
The heart of the wooer is warm, but the warmer the heart of the wooing;
And up from the pits when these shiver and up from the heights where
those shine,
Twin voices and shadows swim starward,
And the essence of life is divine.
-Richard Realf.
INDEPENDENT IN REALITY.
Now Girls, Consider This Impor
tant Fact.
Women may train their
daughters in all the ways they
imagine to be pleasing to men;
they may teach them to wrig
gle and squirm and reef in
their waist and roll their eyes
and lisp out insipid nothings
between carmine stained lips,
and yet men will desert them
to flock about the girl who is
fully and completely indepen
dent of them, and who cares
very little whether they fall in
love with her or not. It is nat
ural for men to want what they
cennot get too easily, ami wo
men cheapen themselves who
thus "stoop to conquer." But
no girl can affect independence.
She must be independent in
reality. And in order to be so
if she has no fortune in her own
right she must have an occupa
tion that renders her self-sus
taining. Now, girls, consider
this fact. The day of useful
ness is nearly past. Young
men are not gning to gobble
you up for wives on thestrength
of any looks or manners you
may possess. Some of them
are fools enough to do it, but
they cannot afford it. The
pressure of the line is inexora
ble. Use, use, use the constant
demand.
The meanest of all mean men is
the one who makes capital out ot
a calamity.
Anyway, it isn't a matter of re
cord that an old hen originated the
shell game.

SEN. FRYE'S FISHINO LUCK.
Senator Frye is an enthusias
tic fisherman. He was once
the guest of a family who ar
ranged for him and other visi
tors in East port, M aine, a pic -
nic at a lake a few miles dis
tant. The head of the family
noticing that his brother, who
had charge of the vehicle, had
placed a supply of fishing para
phernalia in one of the wagons,
asked why he had done so.
"They're for Frye," was the
reply.
"But, man nlive! There are
no fish in that lake," the older
exclaimed.
"Well, Frye doesn't know it. "
Frye didn't. On arriving at
the lake he took the fishing
tackle and trudged off to return
some hours later very warm
and much bitten by mosoui-
toes.
'Get any bites, Frye?" he
was asked.
"(let any bites!" was the
half indignant reply. "Look
at mv face!"

A GORGEOUS SCENE.
The Press Agent's Description
the Wedding.
of
When Emory, the society repor
ter, telephoned that he was sick, it
so happened that all of the other
reporters were busy. The editor
turned to the circus press agent,
who had dropped in, and asked
him if he thought he could write
up a wedding.
"Sure," said the agent.
The following is what he turned
in;
"The wedding of Miss Million
and Count Air took place at the
Fifth Avenue Church last night.
Long before the Grand Entry the
Monstrous, Absolutely Water-proof
structure was crowded to the
doors. After the Grand Prome
nade Concert, there entered the
Most Glorious, Elegant, Colossal,
and Fabulously Rich Pageant of all
times. A Magnificent and Opulent
scene of Glitter, Splendor.blending
the wonders of the Orient with the
Marvels of the Occident. A Kale
idoiscopic and Dioramic Presenta
tion, Eclipsing in Magnitude and
Surpassing in Barbaric Splendor,
all previous efforts. A moving
Panorama of Grandeur, a Superb
Eye Feast of Magnicence, teeming
with life and color, exhibited in a
series of Pageantry Displays and
Brilliant Tableaux, the Pomp and
Splendid Regalia of the East. The
Procession moved in Mastodonic,
j Majestic, Massive and Magnificent
' March under the Irridescent Sheen
of a Thousand Glimmering Lights,
; the whole forming a Sumptuous,
Satisfying and Surprising Exhibi
tion, so Overwhelmingly Superior
to all previous efforts that no lan
. guage in its praise is extravagant,
and it is simply impossible of ver
bal delineation. Never before has
there been such a Prodigal Plenti
! tude of Princely Pageantry.
"Into this enchanted dreamland
: there came Handsome Knights,
! dressed in Gorgeous Manner of
the Imperial Claw Hammer, Beau
tiful women in Sublime Creations,
Beautiful, Impossible women, with
waists three degrees below their
swan-like necks, with silken gar
ments falling eight inches under
the toes in front and four yards be
hind the heels, decorated with one
thousand yards one thousand of
lace and ribbon. Silken hair drawn
gracefully back in beautiful folds
over a bale of hay and held togeth
er with flowers, fly-net and fuzz.
Thus they entered a wonderful
presentation of Strange, Odd and
Remarkable shapes, whose dupli-
1 cates are not on earth,
represent-
ing the Whims and Fancies of the
designers in their most Eccentric
moods. The Knights and Ladies,
flower girls, Ladies-in-waiting, and
other members of the Superb Com
pany formed a line on each side of
the Altar. The Minister poised
himself gracefully in the center.
"Now came the time when all
hearts ceased to beat. The Spec
tators see the two Principal Per
formers appear at the head of the
Long, Steep, Inclined aisles. The
Music plays, The Signal is given.
They are off, and down that steep
incline they come, a most superb
exhibition of Unparalleled, Dan
gerous and Death-defying Nerve.
Timed to the Second, they meet
at the Altar, the Minister says a
few words, and then the hero.
Laughing Death to Scorn, while
Diabolical Audacity sits upon his
brow, lets his hand, containing
nothing but a band of Pure Gold
make one stupendous awful flight
across the wide chasm and alights
safely within the waiting hand up
on the other side, the ring fits upon
the Fair Girl s hnger, and the act
so fraught with Awful Consequence
as to Appall all imitators is over.
The Music grows louder, the spec
tators sigh with relief, and the
greatest spectacle of Modern Times
is only a memory." Judge.
Some rise by sin, and some
virtue.

UNATTRACTIVE HOMES.
Make Your Homes Attractive and
Bright Bring In the Violin or
the Picture.
Winter has especial tempta
tions in the fact that many
homes are peculiarly unattrac
tive at this season. In the sum
mer months the young man
can sit out on the steps, or he
can have a bouquet in the vase
on the mantel, or the evenings
being so short, soon after gas
light he wants to retire any
how. But there are many par
ents who do not understand
how to make the long winter
evenings attractive to their
children. It is amazing to us
that so many old people do not
understand young people. To
hear some of these parents talk
you would think they had nev
er themselves been young and
had been born with spectacles
on. Oh, it is dolorous for young
people to sit in the house from
7 to 11 o'clock at night and to
hear parents groan about their
ailments and the nothingness
of this world. The nothingness
of tliis world? How dare you
talk such blasphemy? It took
God six days to make this
world, and he allowed 6,000
years to hang upon his holy
heart, and this world has shone
on you and blessed you and ca
ressed you for these fifty or
seventy years, and yet you dare
talk about the nothingness of
this world! Why, it is a mag
nificent world ! Wo do not be
lieve in the whole universe
there is a world equal to it ex
cept heaven. You cannot ex
pect your children to stay in
the house these long winter
evenings to hear you denounce
this star lighted, sun warmed
shower baptized, flower strewn
angel watched, God inhabited
planet.
Oh, make your home bright!
Bring in the violin or tho pic
ture. It does lot require a
great salary or a big house, or
chased silver, or gorgeous up
holstery to make a happy home.
All that is watched is father's
heart, a mother's heart, in sym
pathy with young folks.
