EVERYTHING about Amatite ap
peals to the man with common
sense. lie can see its superiority
at once—the real mineral surface which
never needs painting; the two layers
of Pitch which ij the only imperishable
waterproofing known; the two layers
of heavy Tarred Felt—all these con
tribute to the popularity of Amatite.
We can make Amatite better and
cheaper than anyone else on account
of our greater facilities, and conse
quently we sell it at a surprisingly low
figure. #
Simply the fact that it needs no
painting is enough to make a man ait
up and take notice—especially the man
who has spent dollars and days in
painting and repainting his smooth
surfaced roofings.

THE HOME CIRCLE
THE CHILDREN S HOUR
BETWEEN the dark and the daylight.
When the night is beginning to lower.
Comes a pause In the day’s occupations,
That is known as the Children’s Hour.
I hear in the chamber above me
The patter of little feet.
The sound of a door that is opened,
And voices soft and sweet.
From my study I see in the lamplight.
Descending the broad hall stair,
Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra,
And Edith with golden hair.
A w hisper, and then a silence;
Yet I know by their merry eyes
They are plotting and planning together
To take me by surprise.
A sudden rush from the stairway,
A sudden raid from the hall;
By three doors left unguarded
They enter my castle wall.
They climb up Into my turret.
O’er the arms and back of my ohair;
If I try to escape they surround me;
They seem to be everywhere.
They almost devour mo with kisses,
Their arms about me entwine.
Till I think of the Bishop of Bingen
In bis Mouse-Tower on the Hblne.
Do you think, O blue-eyed banditti.
Because you have scaled the wall,
Such an old mustache ah I am.
Is not a match for you all.
I have you fast In my fortress.
And will not let you depart.
But put you down Into tho dungeon
In the round-tower of my heart.
And there will I keep you forever.
Yes. forever and a day.
Till the walls shall crumble to ruin,
And moulder In dust away!
—Henry Wadsworth Ix>ngfelIow.
HOW THE COUNTRY GIRL CAN STUDY MUSIC.
She Hm Every Chance, If She Will Only Go to Work in
Earn eat—What One Girl Old.
By Mn. F.. E. Miller.
OOD MUSIC is a luxury thnt
every home should enjoy for It
Is In reach of every one. There
is nothing which gives a homo a
greater air of refinement, nothing so
restful and comforting ns music; and
who deserve these things more than
our girls and boys on the farm?
What would be more restful to the
tired father and mother, in the long
winter evenings, while father dreams
over hia book or paper and mother,
busy with her sewing, planB for the
future of her boys and glrlB, than
for them to listen to the sweet
strains of music and know that it is
| in their own home, and made by
wieir own ooys and girls?
Now the beginning of the musical
life in the borne depends largely on
tbe girl herself. Father and mother
are often too busy with the cares
of the farm and house to realize
Just how much it means to you; so
| you must start the interest in it your
self—and you are Just as capable aB
is necessary. First, you must shew
some appreciation of and talent for
this great art; then, most of all,
show your great determination to
have your share of the knowledge of
it. Then father, mother, big broth
ers and all, will not be lacking with
their assistance. You must deviBe
your own plan for this. It can be
done it has been done hundreds of
times by farm girls no better situated
than you are.
Norn, flrst of all, you must have a
good teacher. Perhaps you say, "A
piano first," but no, this la the girl's
part your own Individual part
When you find the teacher and have
saved a few dollars to begin your
lessons, then father and mother will
provide the Instrument. By a good
teacher I do not mean ono that stud
od in America and then went abroad
° I here are plenty of good
competent teachers in reach of you
who can bo had for from $f> to $10
dollars per month, and who will
furnish ail nocessary Instructions for
a beginner.
''ii, you suy, “how am I to get
ino $5 or |lo each month?” As If
H"* girl on the farm hasn't every ad
vantage In that way. Raise some
iirk. yn and chickens, and while they
are growing sell butter and eggs,
raise plants from Heeds and cuttings,
and hod them; try a hive or so of
put up jellies and preserves
Here are any number of ways for She
hustling country girl to make money.
And once In-a-while father will see
how you are trying and slip a little
hji.ui < hauge from hiH uecount to you
and mother will always see that
^ mu the end of the month oomeH
you are roady to pay your teacher.
lJut you must always remember.
