Courtesy, like charity, should begin at home. Of course, one does not ex- pect to find the same degree of ceremo- ny practiced there as the formalities of mere acquaintanceship exact, but there certainly should not be less respect and deference paid to those who are nearer and dearer to us, than to out- siders. The man who is a gentleman in his home-and among those who com- prise his immediate household, can be trusted to do nothing unbecoming to a gentleman when beyond the precincts of home ; but the man who is courtesy itself when abroad, is oftentimes the veriest boor within the confines of his own dwelling place. Such a man may pride himself on being a gentleman; but he is deficient in the elementary instincts of the true type, and is con- sequently somewhat akin to a counter- feit that has obtained more or less cir- culation among the uninitiated, but is nevertheless a spurious coin, the worth- lessness of which will be discovered sooner or later. In this enlightened Twentieth century when farmers’ wives have to be nurse, cook, chambermaid, washerwoman, seamstress and scrub, doing the work of-six for the sake of being supported, we should urge mothers to train their boys carefully to be tidy and consider- ate of the burdens they heap upon women, rather than asking that they may be permitted looser reins in the household. These boys are to be the men and home-makers, and the habits of early years will cling to them through life. There are more wives and housekeepers staggering under loads of work that careless men oc- casion than there are men driven to the dramshop by too much nicety. Let the boys be required to shut the doors, to brush their clothing, to hang up their hats and coats, to put their shoes and rubbers in their proper places, to empty and rinse their wash basins and bath tubs when done using them, to hang towels and washrags on the rack, instead of throwing them on the bed or on the floor; and clean their boots, sweep up the litter they make in whit- tling, nut-cracking, and all the inven- tions in which they are so fertile for disarranging rooms. GOOD HUMOR A PRICELESS BOON. There is but little doubt that good humor is a priceless boon. It is the oil that smooths many a rough place in life which otherwise would be very hard sledding. A man who can smile at misfortune and the mistakes he has made in life, and has the courage to correct them and work manfally to make amends, has that in him which deserves success in the end. Ill humor sulks in its tent. The sun never shines bright enough to drive away the clouds of gloom which continually surround it. It has a snap and a snarl for any who may attempt to point out a better way or offer a crumb of comfort in case of real need. Good humor rises to the occasion and meets misfortune. with a smile, however much the heart may be pained, forgetting its own heart pains by lending a helping hand to those less fortunate. Good humor is a fortress, a strong tower, where the possessor may flee to gather strength for a renewed battle with difficulty and danger. Good humor is simply invincible. A man who laughs at misfortune and sets his face bravely to do the right as he sees it, is worth more to the world by far than tbe snarler who sets down amid a broken fortune, to bemoan his tate and make life a wilderness of woe for every one within hailing distance. WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO. 8he can cometo a decision without the slightest trouble of reasoning on it; anid no sane man can do that. Six of them can talk at once, and get along first rate, and no two men can do that. She can safely stick fifty pins in her dress while he is getting one under his thumbnail. She is as cool as a cucumber in half a dozen tight dresses and skirts, while a man will fret and fume and growl in one loose shirt. She can talk sweet as peaches and cream to the woman she hates, while two men would be punching each other’s heads before they had exchang- ed ten words. She can appreciate a kiss from her husband seventy-five years after the marriage ceremony is performed. She can go to church and afterwards tell you what every woman had on, and in some rare instances can give you some faint idea what the text was. She can walk half the night with a 1 colicky baby in her arms without once expressing the desire of murdering: the infant. She can—but what’s the use? A woman can do anything or everything, and do it well. She can domore in a minute than a man can do in an hour, and do it bet- ter. She can drive a man crazy for twen- ty-four hours, and then bring him to a paradise in two seconds by simply tickling him under the chin, and there does not live that mortal son of Adam’s misery who can do that. GIRLS SELF SUPPORTING. So greatly is this world changing that it is to be recognized more and more that girls as well as boys may and should be self-supporting. The girl who sits around idle all the busy day, reads a few French novels, does a little fancy work, gossips idly with others who have nothing in par- ticular to do, tangles and untangles silks and worsteds ad infinitum, and then waits for some silly young man (for no young man of good, common sense would want such a girl for his wife) to come along and take her off her own hands, has gone out of fashion. The girl of the Twentieth century, if she would be popular, must have a business as well as a boy—a vocation of some kind. That it is useful and needful to all is true. “What,” says some fair, sweet-faced girl, “surely I don’t need it, I am only a child. My father is rich. In our home of wealth there is nothing lacking of comfort and happiness, of beauty and grandeur.” Ah, yes! but riches often take to them- selves wings, and fly away, and a turn of fortune’s wheel hurls wealthy people down to poverty every day. Your hope paints your future in azure and gold. God grant that your dreams may be realized, but there is so great a danger that they may fail that it is wise to prepare for a failure; and if in your patbway the flowers bloom brightly, and over your head shines the sun, his ever-smiling face from the clear blue sky, and no dark clouds ever gather o’er you, you will enjoy them more for having the unfailing knowledge that if shipwreck does come, you will have the life boat of a thorough knowledge to some useful line of work. Be true to yourselves, study your own interests, and aim to be true women, who live for some noble cause. Better learn to do one thing perfectly than a hundred imperfectly. The Old Casselman on a Rampage. Last Tuesday night rain fell in tor- rents practically all night, and by morning the Casselman river and its tributaries were away out over their banks. The river was higher than at was during the Johnstown flood, and the oldest inhabitants say they cannot remember a time when it was higher. Much damage has been done to bridges and fences, and no doubt many people have suffered the loss of live stock and poultry as a result of the high water, which has flooded and even swept away small buildings near the river. “Bert” Engle, manager of the West Salisbury Feed Company’s store, lost three pigs in a pen that stood near the river, and there is no doubt that many other people residing along the river have had similar losses. The iron bridge at the foot of Union street has been slightly damaged, and the damage done to bridges else- where will likely amount to a consider- able sum of money. EXAMINATION FOR GRADUATION.

County Auditors’ Report. We call attention to the County Au- ditors’ report, which appears in this is- sue of THE Star. The report shows that the county’s affairs have been well managed by Commissioners Specht, Augustine and Zimmerman, and the year’s work is closed by a cash balance of $12,568.24. .The outstanding taxes added to this will show that the county has to its credit $170,785.40. The ex- penditures for the general fund were almost $11,000 less than the appropria- tion to the Poor Board. D@" WEDDING Invitations at THE Star office. A nics new stock: just re- ceived. ‘tf.
