Be queen of your home. Reign su-
preme in the hearts of your husband
and children.
The average housewife finds more
use for a tack-hammer and stove-lid
lifter than for algebra and geometry.
The humblest home may be made at-
tractive with flowers and music, and
these are factors of happiness far great-
er than the trappings of wealth.
Half the joy of life comes from get-
ting good out of things as we go along.
Some of us are always putting off our
enjoyments. After a while we expect
to take a rest,see a friend, read a book.
But after a while never comes. The
good time we are looking forward to
lies ns far away as ever. All our life is
spent in meaning to overtake it and
enjoy it. Meanwhile we toil, drudge,
and grow old, passing by with unseeing
eye the happiness we might get out of
every day.
Let us study the value of the beauti-
ful. The influence of the beautiful is
largely of a subconscious nature, it is
silent, permeating and powerful. The
ministry of the beautiful has a refining
effect. A taste for music, poetry, pic-
tures, etc., tends to destroy the attrac-
tion for the vulgar. A home of beauty,
of taste and refinement always tends
to elevate and ennoble the mind, and
cultivate the spirit of contentment.
Beauty fills the world, if we have eyes
to see it. It is open to all. The rose is
as fragrant, the lily as white and. the
hyacinth as delicately blue, when cul-
tivated by the poor, as by the jeweled
fingers of the wealthy.
GOOD MOTHERS.
It is claimed that all the Presidents
of the United States had good mothers.
It is said that John Q. Adams until the
day of his death said the prayer his
mother had taught him. Lincoln said,
“Allthat Tam I owe to my mother.”
Garfield kissed the wrinkled face of
his mother on the day of his inaugura-
tion and said: “You brought me to
this.” Grover Cleveland said, “World-
ly honors or worldly perplexities will
never cause me to forget the lessons
my mother taught me.” As the shad-
ows lengthen, the memory of a moth-
er’s love becomes intensified. The
vision grown dim with age becomes
clear, and pictures of childhood days
rise before us in their perfection. It
is well ro few instances are on record
where a mother has failed to impress
her children with the value and purity
of a mother’s love. Most of our great
men accord to their mothers the credit
of their best achievements. The moral
nature of the child is largely what he
inherits from his mother. Genius of-
ten comes from the father. We often
see sons of plain, uneducated mothers
ri<e to eminence. A mother may be
morally and mentally strong, yet phys-
ically so weak she can give to her child
little aside from her lovable nature,
and this child will grow into a passive
creature, who wiil never cause a rip-
ple in the world’s affairs.
To emphasize the influence of the
mother physiologically is unnecessary
in our day. when everyone has his
quota of scientific knowledge. Queen
Victoria was a grand sample of perfect
motherhood. This queenly woman and
womanly queen has had an influence
upon the world in wifehood and moth-
erhood. The mother of Nepoleon,
Marie Bamolino. was not what is term-
ed an educated woman. She married
at thelage of “sweet sixteen,” yet de-
veloped into a very strong character.
It is claimed by his biographers that
Napoleon inherited his firm will and
lofty ambition}ifrom his mother, and
not from his feasy-going father. Na-
poleon said of his mother, “She has the
head of a man on the shoulders of a
woman,” and he always went to her for
counsel in the important affairs of life,
yet he did not always follow her advice.
We shall not venture to speak of Mary
Ball, the mother off Washington, furth-
er than to say she was a woman of high
temper and indomitable spirit. Her
nephew ftLawrence {| Washington, who
occasionallyjvisited in the Washington
home, said, “I was ten times more afraid
of mylaunt than of my parents; my
aunt was’the presiding genius of the
home, and she awed me by her kind-
ness.”
A POPULAR FOOD PLANT.
What a great discovery the tomato
was as an article of food. While most
food plants are of comparative ancient
origin, there are plenty of people living
today who can remember when it was
only an ornament cultivated for the
beauty of its dainty blossoms and
handsome fruit. While its beauty was
admired, it was considered like the
poisonous [Joak, dangerous to even
handle, except by “dark complected”
persons. Years of acquaintanceship,
however, wore off its superstition and
a few “fool-hardy” actually owned up
to having tasted the fruit.
From this small beginning, has grad-
ually grown a use that makes today an
industry with a combined capilal of
over thirty millions of dollars, which
disburses millions of dollars to its em-
ployees each year and aggregates an
output of two hundred and forty mil-
lions cane. This product goes into
every household in the land and is as
familliar an article of diet as any other
of the staple products of the soil. Each
year sees an increasing consumption,
and the more intimate the acquaint-
ance the greater the use.
The reason for this is very obvious.
There is no better appetizer, and as an
article of seasoning the tomato imparts
a taste that cannot be imitated. It is
so distinctive that its presence @gan be
located even in minute particles, yet
the pungency has everything that de-
lights the palate and nothing that of-
fends the nostril
The growth of its general popularity
dates back to the time of the first suce
cessful packing house. When the use
ot the tomato as a food was established,
demand made it necessary to have a
cheaper price than the local market
gardner could afford, and to meet this
the tin can as a diminisher of space
was called into requisition. It was
found much cheaper proportionately to
raise one thousand bushels than ten, so
by the aid of the tin the cooked pro-
duct could be placed on the consumer’s
table at a price so reasonable _as to
enable its daily use. Moreover, the
article put in the can is brought fresh
picked from the field, hermetically
sealed and immediately sterilized by
heat, while the uncanned fruit is fre-
quently shipped for hundreds of miles
before it is used as a food. This arti-
ficially ripened fruit must be gathered
green, and the red color it finally as-
sumes is the withering of hungry tiss-
ues that should have fed the fruit with
the red nourishing juice that comes
from the soil and by the aid of Mother
Nature is thus transformed. No pre-
servative is used by the canner as the
action of heat insures keeping for an
indefinite time.
There is nothing else so wholesome as
this rich, ripe fruit dumped out of the
clean white can ready for any use. The
taste is equal to the fresh fruit, and
every semblance of waste in shape of
rind or core has been removed. Eat
it?—why the very sight and smell are
irresistible. and the most insistent ap-
petite can be sated because of its abso-
lute harmlessness. Its healthfulness
has never been attacked, and the rich
juices colored as the life-giving fluid
act as a tonic even for the invalid
stomach. There is no home where its
visits are not welcome, and the table
of either the millionaire or peasant is
alike familiar with its presence. As
Indian corn, it is distinctly of American
origin, and proud indeed can we be of
both of these excellent food plants.

Half-Deaf People.
“If you are deaf in one ear,” said the
boiler-maker, “I don’t eare about giv-
ing you a job.”
“Why?” asked the applicant.
“Because you can’t tell what direc-
tion sounds come from. Hence in a
place like this you would be in great
danger.”
“How do you know I can’t tell what
direction sounds come from?” the ap-
plicant demanded.
“No person deaf in one ear,” replied
the boiler-maker, “can do so. A man
deaf in one ear will look behind him if
a gun goes off on his right. He will
look up in the air if a child shrieks at
his feet. He will look wildly in front
of him if a locomotive whistles in his
rear. A boiler shop is no place for
such a man.”
«T knew I was like this,” said the ap-
plicant, “but I didn’t know all half-deaf
people were.”
“They all are,” said the boiler-maker,
“and my shop is no place for them.”
