ANSWERS.
No. 243. Below’ we give the poem, “A
Woman’s Complaint,” by Bert Ingliss
( Miss Kate Tucker Goode,) which so beau
tifully illustrates the value a wife places
upon loving words and loving looks from
her husband.
I know that deep within your heart of hearts
You hold . me. shrined apart from common,
th if/;., 11 f
And that try step, my voice, can bring to you
a gladness that no other presence brings.
And yet, dear love, through all the weary days
You never speak one word of tenderness,
Nor stroke my hair, nor softly clasp my hand
Within your own in loving, mute caress.
You think, perhaps, I should be all content
To know so well the loving place I hold
Within your life, and so you do not dream
How much I long to hear the story told.
You c annot know, when we two sit alone,
And tranquil thoughts within your mind are
stirred,
My heart is crying like a tired child
Lor mie fond look, one gentle, loving word.
It may be when your eyes look into mine
You only say, “How dear she is to me!”
Oh, could I read itin your softened glance,
How radiant this plain old world would be!
Perhaps, somtirr es you breathe a secret prayer
Tr.at choicest blessings, unto me be given;
But if yon said aloud “God bless thee, dear !”
I should not ask a greater boon from lieaven.
I weary sometimes of the rugged way;
But should you say, “Through thee.my life is
sweet."
The dreariest desert that our path could cross
vVoui t sud ienly grow green beneath my feet.
’ Tis not the boundless waters ocean holds
That give refreshment to the thirsty flowers,
But just the drops that, rising to the skies,
From thence descend in softly falling showers.
What matter that granaries are filled
With all the richest harvest’s golden stores,
If we who own them cannot enter in,
But famished stand before the close-barred
doors ?
And so ’tis sad that those who should be rich
In that true love which crowns our earthly lot,
Go praying with white lips from day to day
For love’s sweet tokens, ,<nd receive them not.
No. 244. Serve salted almonds in dainty
little china or silver dishes, allowing them
to remain on the dinner table from the
beginning until the end of the meal.
No. 245. “A Woman’s Question” was
first published under the title, “A Woman’s
Answer to a Man’s Question.” The author
ship of this noem is often attributed to
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and also to
Adelaide Proctor; but Mary T. Lathrop is
the writer.
No. 246. Good smelling salts may be pre
pared as follows; One gill of liquid ammo
nia, one quarter of a drachm each of English
lavender and rosemary, and eight drops
each of oil of bergamot and cloves. Mix
all these ingredients together in a bottle
and shake them thoroughly. Fill the vin
aigrette, or any small bottle which has a
good glass stopper, with small pieces of
sponge, and pour in as much of this liquid
preparation as the sponge will absorb, and
cork the bottle tightly.
No. 247. Tarragon Vinegar.— Gather the
tarragon just before it blossoms, strip it
from the larger stalks and put it into small
stone jars or wide-necked bottles; and in do
ing this twist the branches, bruising the
leaves. Pour over it vinegar enough to
cover; let it stand two months or longer,
pour off, strain, and put in small, dry bot
tles, corking them well. Use as sauce for
meats.
What greater thing is there for two hu
man souls than to feel that they are
joined for life, to strengthen each other in
labor, to rest on each other in sorrow, to
minister to each other in pain, to be one
with each other in silent, unspeakable
memories at the moment of the last part
ing.

U I U W 818 I TVU SW Large schools treat each boy as one of
a crowd ; with us each boy is studied
TY>z ”tP 1 \ A ' I T A and taught according to bis capacity
JzSvz JL -IjJ 1* L_? L and adaptations.
My effort as a teacher is to meet each boy’s needs—to tit our system to the boy, not the boy to
the system. We incite each boy to work out his own ideal, and to create no competitions with his
classmates. Beyond the study of text-books we seek to teach
HEALTH, ORDER, HONOR, MORALITY.
Military drill and discipline are used because they teaeh attention hud obedience. Few men
have the time.even if they have the ability.to train their boys. It is my work, and I like it, and like
a healthy, active boy. Roy- hereditarily vicious I do not take, but a mischievous boy, made
so bv neglect or idleness, fam glad to have. If you approve my theory, examine my practice.
Write to me and tell me about your boy. Applications must be promptly made, as the
number of pupils is limited to twenty-five. Catalogue on application. Cost, S3OO per year. Uniforms
are provided at cost and are not expensive.
