If you cannot love 3/our mother and
make her happy, you cannot truly love
and make happy the heart of any wo
man.

There is nothing in life’s experience
that so quickly and effectually awakens
in the heart those better elements that
ally us “to angels and to God” as the
sacred memories of home.
*
* *
Dear to us all are the friendships we
formed during the period of our school
life, and hard was the breaking of those
ties, yet we cherish no such memories of
our schoolmates as we do of home and
mother.
*
* *
Labor is divine. The son of God was
an industrious carpenter. Every man
needs to have something to do. It not
only makes him safe for his life; it is a
divinely appointed means fi»r making him
safe for the life to come. Character is
perfected, the divine possibility discovered
only by labor. Labor saves the man
and saves the world. In Holman
Hunt’s noble picture we see Jesus, the
carpenter, sawing a board at the bench;
the sun as it streams in from behind is
caught by His figure at its toil and there
is cast on the work-room floor the
shadow of Himself, of His cross. As we
do our day’s work we are bearing the
world’s burdens, are helping to save the
world unto the Divine carpenter.

THE HOME GIRL.
Is the home girl becoming extinct?
Are we no more to have the old-fash
ioned girls who knew how to cook and
sew and make beds and sweep and wash
the dishes if necessary?
Are the girls of the future to know
none of these useful occupations that
made their mothers and grandmothers
such good housekeepers and wives?
It seems that as a rule in this day girls
do not learn to do the work of the house.
Instead they learn to weave baskets and
do pyrogaphy and to paint badly on
china or in water colors, and to dance
and play rag-time on the piano. Some of
them learn to gad about the streets and
to drink more ice cream soda and eat
more candy than is good for them.
Now if one has a genius for basket
weaving and can turn it to some good
it is alright to weave baskets. Or if
one can do easily artistic byrography,
that is alright too. But time in doing
these things when your mother is wash
ing the dishes or'cooking the dinner or
making your bed, is time worse than
wasted.
There is no doubt that many unhappy
marriages and many divorces result
from the inability of young wives to
properly perform the ordinary duties of
the household. There is no more pitiable
object than the wife who cannot per
form the duties of a housekeeper through
ignorance.
What a humiliating position a young
wife is in who is forced to confess to
her husband, probably at the end of the
honeymoon, that she cannot cook his
food or mend his clothes. She may
never have to do these things, because
her husband may be rich, but riches
sometimes takes wings, and if they do,
the wife should be prepared to take up her
share of the burden of poverty.
Foolish mothers are too often to blame
for the tragedies in the lives of their
daughters. They try to protect them
from what they are pleased to call menial
work.
Don’t do it mothers.
Teach your daughters to cook and sew
ana mend and make beds.
You will thereby minimize the danger
of your daughter being an unhappy wife
or a graduate of the divorce court.
No, the home girl, God bless her, is
not being extinct. She has only been
temporarily crowded from the front rank
by the girl of the period and will come
to the front again in due time. The
average girl can even go down into the
kitchen and make the same kind of
bread “that mother used to make.” She
knows that the family cow gives sweet
milk and that butter milk comes from the
churn. It is barely possible that she
knows how to set a hen and can drive a
nail straight if you give her a good ham
mer. She can mend a pair of hose and
sew on a button right where it belongs,
and she is the very kind of girl that the
sensible youth wants one day to be the
queen of his heart and the mistress of the
home.
There are some girls who are spoiled by
a little education. As soon as they get a.
little learning In their heads they im
mediately begin to figure on the emanci
pation of women. And they emancipate
themselves so far as home is concerned.
Mother’s hands are already coarse and
red, and it is better that she should do the
menial work about the premises while the
daughter indulges in some of the fads she
acquired at college on money that the
poor old mother helped to earn through
toil and self-denial. It makes no dif
ference to her that the tired old eyes are
daily giving more evidence of being
weary, and that the calloused spots on the
dear old hands are growing larger. It is
only mother, and she has had her day.
A girl cannot be young but once and
mother has been a girl. Thus it continues
until the tired and loving old mother is
gathered to her reward, and when the
girl sees the pallor of death upon; the
sunken cheeks and realizes that the end
of it all has truly come, it is then that
her heart is filled with remorse and she
would give the world to call the loved one
back that she might demonstrate to her
that she really did not intend to be un
kind. But it is too late now. Mother
has become a happy girl again.
The woman who is making a happy
home in today is the womanly woman,
and the womanly women is the house
wifely woman. We do not mean by
this that a woman should be made a
hewer of wood and a drawer of water in
any home for she has a nobler mission to
perform, but we do not mean that it is a
great mistake for our daughters to become
the heads of happy homes, when they are
not qualified for the duties of the po
sition.

THE SALOON BAR.
A bar to heaven, a door to hell—
Whoever named it, named it well!
A bar to manliness and wealth,
A door to want and broken health.
A bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door to sin and grief and shame;
A bar to hope, a bar to prayer,
A door to darkness and despair.
A bar to honored, useful life,
A door to brawling, senseless strife;
A bar to all that’s trne and brave,
A door to every drunkard’s grave.
A bar to joy that home imparts,
i A door to tears and aching hearts:
r A bar to heaven, a door to he 11—
Whoever named it named it well!
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow?
who hath contentions? who hath bab
bling? who hath wounds without
cause ? who hath redness of eyes ?
They that tarry long at the wine;
they that go to seek mixed wine.
At the last it biteth like a serpent,
and stingeth like an adder.
Woe unto him that giveth his
neighbor drink.
My son, if sinners entice thee, con
sent thou not
My son, give me thine heart.

WHY SMITH SOLD OUT HIS
SALOON.
“I hear that Smith has sold out
his saloon, ’ ’ said one of a couple of
middle-aged men who sat sipping their
beer and eating a bit of cheese in an
American saloon. * ‘Yes, ’ ’ responded
the other, rather slowly- ‘ * What was
the reason ? I thought he was just
coining money there." The other
nibbled a cracker abstractedly for a
moment, and then said: "Smith, you
know, lives on. Mount Washington,
> *
right near me, where he has an ex
oellent wife, a nice home, and tl ree
as pretty children as ever played out
doors. Smith is a pretty xespectMl*
sort of oitizen; never drinks or
gambles, and thinks the world of his
family. Well, he went home one
afternoon last week, and found liis
wife ont shopping. He went through
the house into the baok yard, and
there under the apple tree were the
little fellows playing, They had a
bench and some bottles and tumblers,
and were playing 'keep saloon.' He
notioed that they were drinking
something out of a pail, and that
they aoted tipsy. The youngest, who
was behind the bar, had a towel tied
around his waist, and was setting the
drinks up pretty free. Smith walked
over and looked in the pail. It was
beer, and two of the boys were so
drunk that they staggered. A neigh
bor’s boy, two years older, lay asleep
behind the tree* 'Boys, you must not
drink that!’ he said, as he lifted the
six-year-old from behind the bench.
‘We’s playin’ s’loon, papa; an’ I was
sellin’ it just like you,’ said the little
fellow. Smith poured out the beer,
carried the drunken boy home, and
then took his own boys home and put
them to bed. When his wife came
back she found him crying like a
child. He came down town that
night and sold out his business, and
says he will never sell or drink
another drop of liquor. His wife
told mine about it, and she broke
down crying while she told it.”
This was a true story, but the name
was not Smith. —Christian Scotsman.
