Home life is the sure test of home character. Let the husband grow cross and surly, end the wife grow cold and unamiable. The children grow cross and savage as voung bears. The fath er becomes callous, peevish, hard, kind of a two-legged brute with clothes on. The wife bristles in self-defence. They develop an unnatural growth and sharp ness of teeth and the house is haunted by ugliness and domestic brawls. This is not what the family, circle should be If one must be rude to any, let it be to some one he does not love—not his wife, brother or parents. Let one of the loved ones he taken away, and memory recalls a thousand sayings of regret. Death quickens recollections painfully. The grave cannot hide the white faces of those who sleep. The coffin and the green ground are cruel magnets. They draw us further than wo could go. They force us to remember. A man never secs so far into human life as when he looks over a wife’s or mother’s grave. His eyes grow wondrous clear then and he sees as ho never saw before, what it is to love and ho loved. It is a pitiable picture of human weakness when those we love best are treated worst. o o o A Senseless Habit. The young lady that habitually uses si mg in her conversation cannot have a very exalted opinion of herself. The estimate placed upon her by those who hear her use it is certainly not a high one. It sounds coarse and vulgar when used by a man, but when used by a woman its tone is degrading and re pulsive. How often one hears a young lady speak of children as ‘‘kids.” That word comes from the slang of English thieves. No exactly a proper word for a lady’s use, is it? “Mash” is another word in common use by young ladies of both high and low degree. The word originates in the immoral relation sustained by a thief and his mistress. It is essentially foul, and when issuing from the lips of innocence and purity gives a startling shock. Even thieves, toughs and disreputables, of either sex, who|know the whole vocabulary of slang, seldom, if ever, use a single word of it in the presence of honest people. Slung, in English, has but two sources— thieves and showmen; and any young person who imitates those classes, eith er in conduct or conversation is plenti fully endowed with a lack of sense.- o o o Lack of Courtesy. Trifling discourtesies of speech and manners constantly indulged in do more to destroy the peace of a household than an occasional war of words which lasts for n hi ief period and is then at an end. Chief among the enuses to create a murky home atmosphere is the habit of “nagging” one another. Hu«ban s and wives give expression to every petty feeling of irritation, and bandy words hock and forth till some molehill assumes the proportions of a mountain. A tendency to nag goes unchecked among the children, and almost before the parents are aware there is a chronic condition of unpleasantness in the home. Young married people, especially, need to learn control in this direction. An other disagreeable trait to he guarded against is the habit, peculiar to some people, of always being on the opposite side of a question. Call attention to The Famous Sunny South B U G G A / a-..

What is beauty after all? Each eye makes it for itBelf. You think Smith's lady-love raw-boned and hardfeatured. He calls her a "magnificent woman.” and wonders what you see in your little aogc,’ with her baby face and stature. So it ia the world overhand yet, we would each give something to be beauti ful after our own fashion. How the powders and lotions which ar e to beHtow upon poor billious mortals skins of satin and snow, and the hair-dyes and pomades and cosmetics of all sorts, sell, we need not mention to prove the facts. In France old ladies are being made over, at the cost of half their fortunes. Yes, we all wane to be beautiful; and, if only our ideas of beauty were what they should be, we might accomplish our desire easily. Meekness and love make all faces pleas ant. Wure we good we should be beautiful. We all feel this. There are plain features so charming with the sparkle of good numor, that we love them. There are blemished faces so ' sweet that they are pleasanter to look upon than the most perfect. After all, it is in the expression that the actual charm lies. So that were some one to promise the secret of beauty for twenty- five cents and a post-paid envelope, he would scarcely be an impostor should lie return the golden rule with instructions to learn and praciice it. if we only could do this earnestly and truly for one generation, the next might wonder whether it were not a fable that such u thing as ugliness was ever known upon earth. 000 A Woman's Work. Could anything be a better illustra tion of the way woman do their work as compared with the way men do theirs, than to look over a village of say, a thousand families, on Monday? In a thousand tlittle kitchens a thousand women would he seen thrusting wood into a thousand little cook stoves, heat ing a thousand little wash boilers, bend ing their backs oyer a thousand, little washl.oard3, and hanging their clothes in a thousand little clothes lines. If, by some singular social revolution, the men of such a village were to under take to do the work, their first step will he to get up a stock company, in vest capital in building and machinery, so organize the work that about a half dozen men would do the work for the whole town,receive good salaries there for,and the rest of the men would go about their own business on Monday just as on any other d^ys. 1 ' Praised by Press and Pulpit No Piano has ever been more enthusiastically endorsed.
