Number 37
Every member of a com
munity, and especially every
parent, should take a deep in
terest in the public school. It
is not enough to pay your
school tax without complain
ing, or to know that the teach
ers are qualified, nor is it even
enough to keep your children
in school regularly. If you
are really if crested in the
object as you should be, you
ilhoul& visit the school regu
larly and persistently. Few
people have any idea what an
incentive it is to both teacher
and scholar to knew that pa
rents and outsiders are taking
a lively interest in their work.
We believe the “little folks’
at school appreciate such in
terest more perhaps than the
larger ones. Still the effect
is not lost on any of them, and
we hope every parent will
taka' a hint from this and
place the public school on
their visiting list.
Take the sermons you hear
home to yourself. If you di
vide them and parcel them
out to your friends and neigh*
bors, and the people in the,
pews around you, there won’t
be much of the “good seed of
the gospel” left to bear fruit
for yourself.
than to rule an empire. “Wo
man’s rights!” Has man any
higher or more noble? And
when husband and wife see
eye to eye and heart to heart,
one in the interests of home,
they have reached as near per
fection as we are allowed to
hope for while on earth.
Woman's Kingdom.
Every woman who takes
conscience for her guide has a
right to feel that home is pe
culiarly woman’s kingdom
knowing that all love, all pure
thoughts, all religion and gov
ernments, if one would have
them flourish, must have their
roots beneath its alter. Let
no wife, who would be loved
honored and happy, forget
that home duties must ever
stand first.
No matter what high ambi
tious aspiration may have im
pressed her before marriage
or how high she may be con
scious her talents and influ
ences are capable of reaching
when that solemn vow is ta
ken that makes the twain one
—for “better or worse”—be
fore all else, she must give all
the energy and love she pos
s’esses to building V a perfect
home, and she must never
lose sight of this high voca
tion. She must be its mis
tress, but never its slave. That
she has made it immaculate
in cleanliness and resplendent
in beauty is not enough. She
must feed the love and truth
which should unitedly govern
it. What power or dignity
can reach higher?
What is the ability to sway
large audiences over a home
with such skill that husband
and children shall rise up and
call her blessed? To be the
ruling spirit in such a posi
tion is a more sacrei honor
Poverty is uncomfortable,
but nine cases out of ten, the
best thing that can happen to
young man is to be tossed
overboard and compelled to
sink or swim for himself.
. Be What You Seem.
Don’t think because you
are fresh from the hands of
your tailor and your barber
that you will pass for a gen
tleman, unless you are one.
You might carry the perfum
ed roses about you for ages
without once being mistaken
for a rose. Fine clothes and
costly jewelry do not convert
rough into a gentleman any
more than a stovepipe hat and
cigar make a man a mon
key. A few smart, well-learn
ed quotations from eminent
authors will not convey the
impression that you are con
versant with literature. You
are apt to become scotched in
the flames you kindle, for your
literary companions will soon
sound your shallow depths,
and your ignorance will ap
pear more glaring than be
fore.
An extensive library does
not make a ( lawyer; a sancti-
mfnious face a minister, an
elaborate sign a doctor, or a
pair of wings an angel. The
world judges us by what we
are, and not by what you
seem. It does not accept a
few flashes of wit and wisdom
as the evidence of superior
knowledge. If your mental
attainments are not appreci
ated by the public, it is a sen
sible conclusion to arrive at
that you are striving to be
something which nature and
education have not fitted you
for. The world, generally,
is quick to acknowledge true
merit and genius, and having
no grudge against you, per
sonally, it will appreciate
your efforts if they are at all
praiseworthy or meritorious.
True excellence in anything
is only attained by unremit
ting labor. If you would be
that which you are not, bend
all the energies of heart and
brain to the accomplishment
of your desire. Whatever
place your ambition prompts
you to select your field for fu
ture labor, however lofty and
difficult of access the height
may be, fit yourself for it by
slow and laborious process of
study and toil. Begin at the
very bottom round of the lad
der, lay the foundation firm
ture of future greatness upon
nowledge of your
all its bearings.
In fact, be what you seem,
and seem to be nothing but
what you are.
The Good Housewife.
You look at the housewife
who has a place for her things
and these things in their
places, and you find a woman
who is systematic in her work;
and when she needs anything
she can put her hands on it
in a moment. She plans and
calculates whenever there is
to be extra work, extra cook
ing, extra washing, elc., and
she knows beforehand just
Happy Homes.
A woman may do her level
best to make a happy home
for her husband and children
but if she is treated as a slave
and only given her board and
clothing in payment for her
services as mother, wife, cook,
laundress, nurse girl, cham
bermaid and seamstress, is it
any wonder that little or no
happiness exists in that home?
If a mother spoils her son
by pampering and waiting on
him all the years of his child
hood and boyhood, and mak
ing him think that a man
should always be waited on by
women of his household, is it
strange that he expects a wife
to do the same and that, in all
what there is to do, and what likelihood, she either wears
she wants to do it with. Her out in a few years such
work moves along like clock
work, and when the clock
strikes twelve she is ready to
put the victuals on the table.
The men are not hindered—
they eat their dinner and get
out of the way, and her work
goes on according to program,
and nobody's time is wasted
by her procrastination. She
is on time, the glory of her
husband, the beloved of her
children, the admired of all
who know her. And this same
woman, so exact in her do-
ings, gets more time to rest
and read and instruct her
children in the paths of right
and the social duties they owe
to all. Ladies, we hope you
are of this class, receiving the
blessings of your husband and
the praise of all who know
you.
The oak in the middle of
the forest, which is surround
ed on every side by trees that
shelter and shade it, runs up
tall and sickly; ptlt away
from it its protectors and the
first blast will overturn it
But the same tree growing in
the open field, where it is con
tinually beat upon by the tern
pest, becomes its own protec
tor. So the man who is com
pelled to rely on his own re
sources, forms an indepen
dence of.character to which
he could not otherwise have
attained. Therefore prefer
rather to climb up hill with
difficulties than to roll down
with inglorious ease.
ser
vice, or else becomes bitter
and disheartened?
There are very many rea
sons why a home may not be
found a happy one and the
happiness found therein de
pends fully as much on the
husband as it does upon the
wife. We are often told that
in every true and ideal mar
riage both husband and wife
must learn to bear and for
bear.
In every home where hap
piness exists there must be
perfect trust, confidence and
love between the husband and
wife.
There are two kinds of sun
shine in the world, and both
quite necessary—the one that
is caused by the-v sun’s shin
ing outdoors, and the other by
its shining in our hearts. Hap
py homes abound in the heart
sunshine, and, whether it
shines without or not, there is
naught but brightness within
doors. It is the loving deeds,
the cherry, helpful words and
the kindly thoughtfulness that
each member of the family
shows toward the others that
makes an ideal, happy home
a perfect heaven on earth.
How many of us do our
share in making such a home
that shall be a haven of rest
to all who may come within
its influence.
One On the Portly.
The French Academy of
Sciences has been seriously
discussing Jbe question wheth
er fat people are prouder or
more self-oatisfied than those
who have a lean and hungry
look.
Observe the plump folk you
pass in the street, and you will
notice how much more confi
dently and even aggressively
they seem to take their way
than those who are lithe and
spare. However, the French
scients who have been sol
emnly considering this liter
ally weighty subject have ar
rived at the conclusion that
the proud carriage or confi
dent expression of the corpu
lent is nothing to be envied.
Rather may their leaner breth
ren rejoice that they have it
not. The explanation of their
appearance is, indeed, a most
prosaic one.
It is, as the Psalmist says,
that “their eyes swell with
fatness,” and that their dis
tended bodies shorten the
throax by drawing up the dia
phragm, so that they must
perforce “walk proudly.”—Ex
