Thankful for Mother.
'.Mother lM'l jut yoi?
ii-. hlic tliil when you khw her, and
better tliiin ever," mud a young
man in answer Ut tuy (piest'ioii us
to (lie welfare, of Ins mollier. It
1 tii I been many vein s since I Imd
looked into tluit mother's face,
for we lnul (1 rifted in different
directions, but I reitieinbered lier
us a vonii'' mother with a family
of little children, and I hail noted
her sweet devotion to their inter
ests, and her patient ways in her
daily ministration to them in the
home. I had not seen this motli
er's bov since he was her "little
cavalie'r" in a fur-off town in the
West. I had congratulated her
on having it boy so thoughtful of
the little things that make a
mother's daily routine so much
happier and lighter. I wusghid
to find that with the growth into
manhood he bud still kept up that
lienutiful way of thinking all the
while of something to help anil
cheer mother.
"1 see that mother tret a vaca
tion every year before I lake
mine," he added, with n bright
smile on his face. " I Ins year
she has been KuM to viit her old
home and the friends she knew
w hen she was a girl, find it lilts
done her lots of good."
" 1 lit? same mot her s hoy as
ever," 1 said. "What a blessing
you must lie to her ! She has
thanked (iod very often forgiv
ing her such a son, 1 know."
"I've thanked (!od many a time
for giving me such a mother," he
rejoined. "It is a great blessing
for a l)oy to have a good mother
such us 1 have, and 1 want to do
all I can for her, because she has
done so much for inc."
"That is the secret of her look
ing so young and being better
than ever," I thought. There
are many, many children in the
world, mid moist of them love
their mother very dearly, with
out doubt, but they are not
thoughtful of them. They take
it as a matter of course that
mother should do for them even
if she is weary, and they often
try her and vex her in many ways
instead of malting the days of her
toil anil care easier and happier
for her.
My cultivating this lcautifu
characteristic in childhood of be
ing thoughtful of mother, the
boy will not neglect his mother
when he goes out into the world
to makea place for himself. Tin?
interests of mother will always be
in his mind, lie will not forget
the little attentions that tnaku
her so Imppy, or the small gifts
that come just at an opjMirtune
time. "I wish 1 had done so and
so for mother, but I never
thought of it," said a young man
after his mother had passed
away. Ho loved his mother, but
In? was not thoughtful of her un
til it was too lute.
The mother craves the love
and attention of her boys, even
if they have grown to manhood
to her they are her very own
just as surely as w hen they were
little children in the home nest.

His Own Business.
"If a man wants to drink whis
key, that is his business," says
the saloon ajKtlogi.st.
Let's see. When Mob Poland
and Coon Parker were drinking
in Heflin, Ala., hist Saturday
night, ami in their spree ran a
cur of the Southern railroad oil
the switch and out on the main
track down the grade, till it
stopped on a trestle, it became
the Southern railroads "busi
ness." And when a loaded freight
train came along and rushed into
the car, causing a 1ik1,u wreck,
destroying much valuable mer
chandise, it became the business
of a great many merchants iintl
shippers, as well as the railroads.
And when three tlead Ixnlies
were dug out from under the
wreck, it Ix'cume the business of
some wives and orphans.
And when the taxpayers are
called U)toti to snpixirt the fami
lies w hose natural providers have
thus been suddenly taken away,
it will Ix't'ome the business of
several other people.
One man's drinking often be
comes the business of several
hundreds or thousands of eop!e,
and the man who cannot perceive
this fact ought to be sent at once

of hia remarks he declared that "the
printing ollice is a school, college
aud univetsity for the brightest
intellect, of every age," aud added :
"A newspaper ollice is a school of
unseltiHunet. No othel elans serves
a community bo well and tto otten
for so little pay, either in cindi or
appreciation, hvery day and night
tho now.paper ia doing free work

Dr. Illackwell ia right. The news
paper ranks next to the pulpit and
school as an educational and moral
power. Conscious of this resp msi
bility, makers of newspapers, as a
rule, try to discharge it for the
benefit and uplifting ot their readers.
It too often iiappens, however, that
the pulpit is in antagonism to the
press, nd the newspaper is made a
favorite subject for moralizing on

being that the freedom given in this
town, which lives on lunatic-, will
' help to cure tho patients. Vet the

during tho middle ages eloped to
this city with a forbidden lover, was
; roiiowed oy nor lather, wtio, cnanc

i Tho town of Gibraltar, owing to
! its position in regard to Spain, has
' practically been in a s'ato of siego

a. offering to tho national dragon,
tho living relatives hurry away from
this town of tbe dead. 1 tat at night
fall, from out of tho hidden caves,
and even sometimes desecrated urns,

Load's Island, lying oil the coast
of the American State of Maine, ia
ideal from ono point of view, and
also unique. It boasts of no polic:

consequently, no taxes. This town,
which hns a population of nearly
one thousand, was started by a de
serter from tho British navy, ono
John Loud, and hia descendants to

well tor this town that no murder

Strawberries in Alaska.
Secretary Wilson has received a
most interesting letter from the Sis
ters of St. Ann, who are conducting
a mission school in Alaska, giving
an account of their snccoes in rais
ing various kinds of vegetables and
table delicacies in that arctic region.
These good women have established
a littlo school on the Vukon, aliout
1,500 miles from its mouth, and their
experiments show that it is possible
to grow turnips, radinhca and even
str&wlicrries in that territory. They
state that they began their hotbed
work as early as April 2oth, and
sowed radishes and turnips in tho
otcn ground the second week in
May. The first potatoes were plant
ed May lti:h. May '2nth, 500 cab
bage and cauliflower plaQts were
transplanted, and two days later a
snowstorm descended on them, but
they wero not harmed, as they wore
of a stnrdy character. Not a drop
of rain fell until tho middle cf July,
whon a long spell of cold, rainy
weather set in. In spite of these
drawbacks tho crop thrived. After
giving away a largo part of the veg
etables, tho sistcis harvested 250
bushels of potatoes, 500 heads of
cabbage, 500 bushels of turnips and
a few bushels of carrots. Straw

In the I.'idiea' Home Journal fot
April the editor, Mr. Kdwsrd Bok,
has a well written article on "The
Kane With Which we M irry." This
artielo is well written, ia sir ng ;md
cle:ir and deals with the qu' stio-i ol
marriage and divorce in an able
manner, which deserve, the careful
reading and cousiderttioii of thou
sands of thoughtful persons. Ho
deplores the ease with which the
rile of marriage i obtained in
America, and shows clearly how this
great fault of our nation is the cause
of much of the utihappiness of the
home life in America and is the
basis as well of the astonishingly
large unmoor of divorctw which are
secured hero every year, lie de
plores this large divorce list, but
wio!y return k that we as a nation
cannot exa cf a better record in thi
respect until there is n reformation
elluctud in the l.iw which inula the
msrri.ige of any two people sn easi
ly obtained. Ho very appropriate
ly remark, that it is useless to at
tempt to strengthen the law agiiiist
divoiee which ho designate as the
"hack door" .' lor g as the "front
door," marriage, which m the, di
vorco possible, is so weak.
Mr. Bok is light. The rile of
mairingc is too lightly regarded in
Alneri 'a, and is too easily secured.
If the law in this conueciion wcro
strengthened as it should he there
would be no marriage without li.
cense aud witnesses, there would be
no elopements h gali.ed, there
would be no marriage poaible wht-re
support could not ho girir-iiitecd,
and consequently there would he
more happy homes, lee. poverty,
less crime and fewer divorces. Sure
ly A rncrica as a nation r eeds m h
a reformation.
Mr. Bok pleads for the return to
the custom of announcing iho mur
ringr? of all persons two weeks. or
me month before the ditto set tor
the ceremony. This would no doubt
call forth much criticism at liri-t from
some people, hut thn sensilw mind
can but recogni'i the wisdom "I
such 11 custom. Marriage is the
most serious and s'tcred compact into
which two persons can enter, and it
is not possible for oither to he too
careful in m iking tho choice, for
nfe ci mpanionship, and this public
announcement made smno wicke
previous would in many it erances
save a hto time ot unl-appmes

My Father Knows.
In one ..f iho public sell "!s of h
rge city, while the school w- ii
session, a I ransom window f.-l! out
with a cr ish. By some mentis the
cry of "tire" was raised, ami a ter
rible name entiled. I he euhours
rushed into the street, shrieking in
wild dismay. The alarm extended
to the teachers, als , one ot tin in
actually jumping from a wiud-w.
Among hundreds of children with
whom tho building was etow h-ii
was one little girl, among the best
in the school, who, through a!! tin
frightful scone, maintained entire
composure. 1 he color, indeed, for
sook her chocks : her lips quivered,
the tears etood in her eyes, hut she
moved not. Alter order had been
restored and her companions had
been brought back to their places,
the question was asked how she
came to sit so still, without appar
ent alann, when everybody elso was
in such a fright, "My father,' said
6he, "is a fireman, and knows wh'
to do in such a case, and b t-Jd me
if there waa an alarm of tiro in the
school I must sit still." What a
beautiful illustration of faith ! "My
father told me so and my father
knows."
This is the gist of the w ho'e mat
ter implicit, unfaltering faith ii.
