Every farm home ought to be made a very heaven on earth to its in mates. Not alone the farm home either, but all the houses in the land. Learn each child's nature, and then work some heme charm to keep him in our circle. Of all Dlacis. praise should be - most lavisbly, used in the family cir cle. Jiow many ot us keep all our Words of kindntss for strangers, fcr those in .whom we have hot one spark of vital interest; and to the hearts dependent upon us for sym pathy and appreciation, bave scarce ly one cheery word. If we are so niggardly in the expenditure of the sweet charities oi life that we cannot squander commendations on the home tolks and strangers too, by all means let the home folks cpme m first for their share. , Parents oftentimes" wonder who or what has ruined their boys. They have been .in school every day, but the teach'e'r either does not teach them any lessons of morality or else his teaching is a failure. The truth is, the boys are on the street from the time school closes until late at night. ' The street corner is the best place in the world for teach ing vice, profligacy and crime, nearly an tne oaa language ana laie, vici ous habits ot bovs are taught on the street at late hours of the night. Teachers may be able to accomplish' a little in counteracting these evil inflaences, but much of thwir xlabor is in vain until parents co-operate with them in keeping their boys off the street. ance. xne contenis oi tne ooiue being at last expended she returned to the cunning man ' and 7, anxiously begged to have another posessed of the same, virtue. . J)augbter," said the man. "there was nothing in the bottle but brown sugar and water. When you husband is in a passion, hold your tongue, and my life on it, he will not scold you in the future." Be careful how you speak of a woman's character. Think how many years she has been in building it, of, the toil and privation endured, tf the wounds received, and let no suspicion follow their actions. The purity of woman is the salvation of the race, the hope of future great ness, the redemption of man. Wipe out her purity and. man sinks be neath the wave of dispair, with no star to guide his life into a channe of safety. Think then before you speak, and lemember that the hog can root up the fairest flowers that ever grew, so the vilest man can ruin the prettiest woman's character.

C. wJ ww ww w wv w w w w w w w w w wCCi It is a proverbial saying among all women that husbands have no aaeqnaie iaea ox me wore wnicn a housekeeper mast do. and conse quently are careless of the extra work they make for her. Would this be so in the next generation 'if every mother would begin with her little boys and teach them to be or derlywith all their belongings, and to wait on themselves? Not only this, but teach them to help mother in every possible way; to keep the wood' box filled with wood and the water pail with water; to save mother's tired feet by going up stairs and down cellar for her? Let him put up the clothes line, turn the wringer and empty the tubs ? for her on wash-day as ' soon as tie is old enough. He ? will be proud enough to think that he is growing strong enough to do these things better than mother. Be very sure that you show, your appreciation of every helpful act, and let him see that you look to him for assistance. , , MOTHER AS A TEACHEE. The perception of beauty, dor mant in the babe, is easily awakened with the other growing faculties. The kindergarden teacher's efforts in this direction are constantly bear iog fruit, but let a word be given to mothers who have not had a kinder- garden training. Gather about your children a few beautiful objects; talk ' about theirj let the children come, as they will unconsciously, under their influence; let beautiful ideas and images grow into their lives. Perhaps you have a dainty,, head in marble; put it on a low table to bet admjred, on the win dow-seat to cast a shadow, in the child's hand while he looks into the beautifully modeled face, at the smiling mouth, the wavy bair. - Take time to read and reread a gem of poetry, or to sing a sweet song to your children. Above va take time to study with your chil dren the shading of the leaf, the bird, the bee, the stone, Che pearls ot dew on grass blade, the frost glitter, the snow crystal; take time to watch the trees in their grandeur, the stretch of meadow, the sparkling stream, the cloud mountains, the sunset glory. Beauties will be re vealed to you you dream ot of. Even from our crowded x city streets, to the eye that is opened and the heart that is awakened, beauty has not fled. The flickering light w w and shade weave themselves into ex quisite patterns on our walls and pavements, the trees throw their long, dark shadows, the mists rise soft and gray, the sun pours its flood of golden light down the ' long dusty streets; to the ear that is attuned, harmony rises from the discord of sounds. He loves beauty and is looking for it will find it everywhere. And the mother who keeps her en thusiasm alive by working with -her children, -developing 1 heir percep tion of beauty and love forfthe beau tiful works of nature and art, and everencw for the beautiful truths di vine, will give them a, blessed inher itance which will lighten their bur den as they grow beyondf her shelter ing care, and brmgmore of cheerful ness, and hopefulness, and youthful- S.U ..If b Singer Sewing Machine Company MAIN STREET.
