(Dedicated to the Mothers of Woman's Kingdom.) I am asking th” father far patience today To till just the place I am in; Although ’tis so narrow—closed in with four walls. And often confusion and din. In the midst of much serving. 1 seem to be queen; My subjects a noisy throng, That chatter and laugh, and sing al! the day. And 'Mamma's” the theme of their song. It comes from the garret, the parlor, the hall— The same note again and again: I nti' quite perplexed by so many rails, 1 would m. -.nothing else were my name. My time i.- all taken doing such little things The same things again and again: Striving order to ke< p. against so many odds. And rolling out ginger bread men Mv friends all around me the latest books read. Cultivate their minds and their looks; While my highest task ; keeping all nice. Little garments which seldom find hooks. In the great outsih world are wrought wonderful .beds. Our Inroes ire added each day. B it win a my last birdling is tucked in 1 am almost too tired to pray. In the lacks of the great I never shall st a ml. Though I fancy 'twould easier be. To rise with tin- tide, than always to sail On such a commonplace sea. Sometimes I am tempted to ehate and complain. When mv lif< ad so Useless doth seem. As I stand b\ tin grave of a fond cher- Heai th” dirge of my sweetest day dream. But in through the shadows steal little soft anr.' \nd so loving and low: mm.-f,' Ah, tru y. Old ’ World. Words so sweet, thou conldst never besto vv go I'm asking tm l ather •’>r patience to day To fill pist the place I am in; Be faithful and true ''ln that which is least'' Commiling ad else unto Him.

I can safely lay before our younger mothers a few thoughts which I sin ’ corely wish they would read, mark, learn and Inwardly digest. ! Please don’t bring up that lovely boy to exclusively look forward to a career of money. I know how anxious parents are for the success of their children—we all are 1 and most mothers behold in a success ful financial career for their children ■ the one thing needful to endow life with its most shining achievements. How many a beautiful boy hast been completely morally sacrificed on the altar . of Mammon! Os course, who would not wish their children rich? Wo all do; we want them surrounded by comfprts. ease, distinction it. is natural to wish them successful in money matters; but Oh, ! how many a boy fails in happiness who has only succeeded in ‘ making money.” Wore I a young woman like many of the mothers of the Woman's Kingdom, with my experience of years, which they have not. i would assuredly first sec that mv boy laid hold on "that better part, which cannot be taken away from him. It is eternal life in character, in universal goodness When a boy makes a headlong plunge in life hi; sole direction being money, he makes a downward plunge toward demotion. You do not know, mothers, the depth of capacity in that beautiful boy's nature for evil. None ol us know or? believe it in 0111 boy . but tine knows, who said the human heart ! "was deceitful above all things—and des j perately wicked;' 1 so that when the mor ; ally good boy starts out from the kiss of his devoted mother, pure and sweet as the first blossom of spring, he docs not know there lurks in him something Ills. parents never sought to bequeath, a capacity for “desperate wickedness"— I he is going out to make money! so what : he may help his parents and render him ' self honorable! What a noble ambition’ i But bls chief highway to that comfort to his parents and honor to himself is only money! Mothers, any of you who have ever studied life ob seive many times the moi. money a mm has the more wi. kedness he accumulates, i Without the crowning glory of a man ias head blossoming high m heaven money will be to him the root of all evil. It will be the muse of disowning his parents because they are poor, or of dis gta.ing ihejn If they may be rich I do not say a man shall begin this career at the beginning; but many a patent had better hate died than lived to see the gray baits of that son with their, and his own dishonor go down to the grave, be cause the son mad. mom> his idol. 1 am far from discouraging money; we teed It, and a publisher must go into bankrupt'., without the patronage of his subscribers but let the boy begin by say ing: "I will do right! though the heav ens fall. I will be honest, and honorable if I die a pauper!" But let’the boy for a fact know this: "I shall not die a pauper, for if an honest man is the noblest work of God -no good thing shall He withhold from them that love Him’’— . and "if I am good, a l other thimgs shall be added unto me.” 1 am not lecturing to boy or mother, j but I feel so sure I am addressing an intelligent class of American mothers that before they have half-way read through this article, they will agree with me; and while I am suggesting to them they are promising to themselves: "that is true, that is right; and we are going to try." 1 am sure we each "Can do all things through Christ, who strengthens us." R. It. L. HEART TO HEART TALKS. 1— . With many of us it is easier to tel! of , our troubles than our mercies. David ; said. "I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever.” What a profitable habit to indulge In, ; retracing our mercies. "There is in the selfishness of our nature that which would had us to contemplate our diffi culties.” We find it very easy to tell our troubles, but oh! how hard to “sing the mercies of the Lord.” Could we look from our own afflictions which always seem harder than any one else's, and - realize how much worse off some one else is, it would help us to find mercy even in our darkest hours. Pouring out our troubles to others don't help us. To "suf • for and be strong” brings us more sym- I pathy.

We are more prone to tune our voices to sing, "Come Y<- Disconsolate, ' than "Leaning on the Promises,” or "Count Your Bbssings One by One”; only try the latter, and you will feel your soul lifted above your sorrow and the "leaning on the promises" will b'-cotne a strong support. le t us make it a daily habit to "sing "or merci's," to tune our hearts to cheerful songs and t hougltts. and make life sweeter for some one else.

When a physician orders light diet for one who is just beginning to recover from a severe illness, it Is well to know exactly’ what dishes “light diet” includes. Here is a list given by a careful doctor of the writer's acquaintance: Clams, chicken and mutton broth, broiled fillets Otf chicken, lamb chops, tenderloin steak, delicately’ cooked game, soft cooked eggs, dry and milk toast, cereal in small por tions, eggnog, koumiss, milk punch, co coa, custards, fresh fruit, gelatine jellies and sponge, cake.—Good Housekeeping. j Meats '.and game should not be washed; if cieasing is necessary, use a wet cloth. Never pierce meats while cooking, or the juices will escape. But for stews, , etc., put the meat on in cold water and gradually heat so that the juices may be extracted. If the meat is put on in boiling water a coating is formed which assists in confining all the juices of the meat. Eggs.- A pinch of salt added to the white of eggs facilitates the. beating. Break each egg separately in a. cup or saucer, so as to be able to reject it if it is not satisfactory. When adding the whipped white of egg to any substance, do not beat it in, lint fold It In carefully with a knife or a spoon. EXCHANGE LIST. .Mrs, Lily Wade.

This is a very important consideration in a woman’s correspondence with ?Jrs. l inkham. If is a, great satisfaction to feel that one woman can write to another telling her the most private and confident i ll details about her illness,and knowthat, her letter will be seen bya woman only, —a ivoman tullot sympathy for her sick sisters, and ivith a knowledge of woman’s ills greater than that possessed by any other person. Mrs. Pinkham never violates the confidence thus entrusted to her,and although she publishes thousands of testimonials from women who have been benefited by her advice and medicine, never in all her experience has she published such a letter without the full consent, and often by special request of the writer. The reason Airs. Pinkham is so amply qualified to give advice in cases of femalo ills is tor the. reason that over one hundred thousand cases come before her each .year, some personally, others by mail, and this has been going on for twenty years,day after day,and day after flay. Twenty years ot constant success, think of the knowledge thus gained. Surely, women are wise in. seeking advice from a woman of sm it experience, especially when it is absolutely free. As an illustration of the good coming from such advice we herewith publish two letters and portrait of Miss Hattie Di-tlroat, the reading of which should give everv sick woman contidence in Sirs. Pinkham's aitility to help them. This is only one of thousands ol the same kind ot letters 1 which Mrs. Pinkham has on file. 43jjb nctn, ‘‘Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I have read with interest your advice to others so much nßpqr&pjyffi that I thought I would write to you, for I have been suffering for a long time. J.have suclt bearing-down pains, and sueh shooting pains go through me. I have headache, backache, and feel tired.

Any information of where it. can be obtained and how to use It will be appreciated. Miss W. M. Marshall, Nettleton, Miss.— 1 am teaching a public school and con sider it a great privilege to have an opportunity to help mold the intelleeis i and characters of my pupils. I read with interest the article in The Constitution of March 9 entitled "Women and Public Schools.” It was good. Yon who haven’t read it don’t fall to do so. A small effort on the p. rt of each of us in a neighborhood will add greatly to our schools. I have a good plan to offer teachers. Put your pupils to thinking; never do anything for them that they, with a suggestion from you, can do for them selves. I am reading "Gabriel Tolliver” and consider it the best work of fiction on those days and times I. have ever read. The writer certainly has away- of tell ing events an I picturing characters nat urally. Gabriel’s speech at the barbecue expressed whit I wish all southerners could feel a loyalty and respect for our government, though it is in incom petent hands sometimes. Inclosed find 10 cents for the old soldiers' home. Mrs. Mattle A. Johnson. Cauthron, Ark.—One of the helpful things I learn from reading and studying the signs ot the times is that mothers are becoming more interested and more intelligent in the great responsibilities and privileges of their high calling in life. 1 must admit that the task is grand, but laborious, to raise children to a pure and noble manhood am! womanhood. Mothers teach the wee ones to help In the housework. Tie up their toes when they get stumped. Pour healing oil upon . them and 1 will assure you It will be like pouring oil upon the soul as well as oil upon the toe. We should carefully and faithfully oversee the reading matter that is placed in the hands of our children. Not long since my- sons received one of Thomas T. Lockheart’s books, and it teaches us that "HopK is an anchor to the soul both sure amp steadfast.” Mrs. Unthank kindly sent me a model of Aunt Susie’s pin cushion.
