The way to get the best there la I
u people is to give them your best.
Home in where mother liven. And
rifether you be prlnee or peasant,
me of the sweetest spots on earth
* the abode of your mother.
* ? ? T <
Although houbttkeoplng aud home
naklng are th?kmost Important of
ill things, yet *they are sought :if
er the very leant. Girls get mar
ried who do not know* how to make
i loaf of bread or boll a potato, ex
pecting somehow that these thlngi
Aril) take care of themselves, and
:hey can live happy with a mau In
Us ignorance, knowing too that
he heart and stomach of man are
?o friendly that they cannot b<* sep
arated. Ignorance cannot be made
riltfs in housekeeping, and there Ik
10 surer way to lose the respect of
i huaband than to spoil his dinner,
-le cau not thrive long on purely a
ove diet, y- . ^
One reason why so many^ girl a and
>oys, men and women, too, are un
interesting, 1b , because they try ao
lard to be lllu? somebody else rath
ir than be content to remain him
elf or herself in life. In nature
rou don't see an oak posing as a
rlllow, or a black duck as a yellow
eg, or a horse as a cow, or a Illy
ts a rose, or a lilac as a peony, or
k dog as a cat. Be natural aud
ou'll be all right.
. How much better Is a plain, quiet
Christian home, where all Is peace
ind cordiality, the neighbors heart
ly welcome to come and go a/tt will,
tnd freed from the pestering, and
enseless conventionalities of faah
onable life! Why should' our earth
y life which at best cannot contln
ie a hundred years be fretted and
lurdened and worn out premature
y by vain efforts to ape the m'an
i^b of the Idle, Irreligious, self
Peking, rich devotee of pleasure?

No matter what a girl's accomp
ishments may be, her education la
ncomplete If she has not some
Lnowledge of bakeology, bollology,
oaBtology* stltchology and mendol
>gy. Even If she should never be
equired to do the work herself,
he ought to know whether it was
lone in a proper manner*

The family table, which ought to
io the place for pleasant discussion
nd cheerfulness, often becomes the
lace of perilous expedition. If
here be any blessing asked at all,
L is cut off at both ends and with
he hand on the carving l^nlfe. He
ounts on his fingers, making estl
aates in the Interstices of the re
>ast. The work done, the hat goes
o the head and he starts down the
(street and before .the family have!
arisen from the table he bus bound
up another bundle of goods Hud
buys to tbw customer: "Anything
mofte I can do for you today, sir?"
A jaan baa more responsibility thuu

master and a music teacher. The

or looks to it. .He must some
times lose his dignity. He must uu~
limber his joints. He must some-'
times l^ad them out to their sports,
forgot the severe duties of life at
times to fly the kite and trundle
the hoop, and chaso Hie hall, >and
Jump the rope with the children,
ought never to havo been tempted
out of a crusty and unredeemable
solitariness. If you want, tp keep
your children away from places of
sin, you can only do It by making
your homo attractive.

The home, be It ever so humble,
is the one sweet spot to which all
eyea are longingly turned, and from
which all happiness radiates.
The proud boi.it of the old Kng
lish common law thai "a man's
homo Is his castle." ihe foui
winds of heaven might '#iow thru
its chinks and crannies but the
king himself might not cross 4.ts
threshold unbidden. Only the law's
stern necessity in puraujt of orimo
could authorlzo an unwoh.ome intru
sion.
The sanctity of 'ormcv limes still
scrupulously surrounds It, and the
sacredness of Its portal has vb?ot) |
but enhanced by the advancement
of civilization. The modern home
need? neither towers, battlements,
nor bastions to proteot it from the
assaults of the powerful. The
humblest citizen to defend his low
ly shack can Invoke the protecting
arm of the whole nation.
The governments of all the world
foster the love of home. Liberal
lawB are enacted with this end In
view. The public domain is gener
ously bestowed upon bonafldo set
tlers. The various states, without,
we believe, a single exception, have
exempted the homes' from seizure
for even a Just debt. In short, the
protection and sacredness of the
home goes side by side with that
of the person. It Is the commend
able desire of every worthy citizen
to be the owner of his own home
in fee simple, and to encourage this
desire have all these beneflclent
laws been enacte.d

U matters little what you call her

your mother was the most wonder
ful woiuun in the world.
Her smile such a knowing sym
pathetic smile!" was as sweet n? u
benediction and at night wheu sb??,
pulled the covers up about your
ueek and. tucked them in at the
sides, that smile always accompanied
her good-night kiss.
You were not always good to your
mother, Often you forgot to do
the little chores *hu asked you to<
do sometimes you Just sneaked
away purposely, and your mother
had to make many tilt extra step he
cause ot your negleot. Yet who did
hot often complain, and certainly
she did not remember it against
you, for when you were Kick don't
you remember how she hovered ov
er your bed? Don't you remember
how oool and soft her hand felt
when she passed it acrons your
forehoad? And when your faco was
red hot and your Hps parched, 4 she
kissed you. She did not stop to
think about those modern germs;
little she would have cared anyway!
Mother always understood your
troubles, and she never laughed at
you when you took her. into your
confidence. (
Of course as you grew older, she
stopped kissing you. It wasn't
cause she didn't want to; but you
were beginning to feel too impor
tant and dignified for klssiug, and*
she understood. Mothers always
understand.
Is your mother dead?
If she is, you can recall 1,000
things you meant to do to lighten
her burdenB ? and forgot. You can
I even remember a few cross words
you spoke one time ? and doesn't
ithe memory hurt? Mother did a
great deal for you. She nursed yon
i in sickness, prayed for you in temp
tation, wept with you in sorrow, an
Joyed in your success a^id good
fortune. She worked for you at
night and by day ? and what have
you done to repay her?
Let me tell you what you do. If
your mother is alive, and I hopo
she is, sit down rigl^t now and
write her a letter. It has been
sometime since you wrote. Tell
her how you Btill lovo her; tell her
that business cares have claimed
your attention, but that you havo J
not forgotten her nor all her kind
nesses. Thank her humbly for the
multitude of her services.
There never was, nor ever will
be, another woman like mother.
Be kind to her.

"With an average annual rainfall

continue to improve for a century to

Dr. Powell's tribute to the possi- !
butties of the Southeast for apple
growing naturally means much for i
this favored region, aud tho South- ;

hope of arousing the Southeast to
