| | A Column | Dedicated to Tired Mothers As They Join the Home Circle at Evening Tide. Crude Thoughts As They Fall From the Editorial Pen: — Pleasant Evening Reveries. | Home Circle Depart- ment. Count no expense loss that makes the home more delightful. «We are bappy in this world just in proportion as we make others happy. When the last word is likely to be an unkind one, let some one else say it. The bar of the saloon, the bar of the court, and the bars of the jail are very closely related. Marriage seems never uch a SO. Mm failure to a man when as goes wrong at home that he can’t sibly blame his wife for. The kind of religion that tells in that the long run is the kind never howls and growls because there is no pudding on wash day. say they are willing to spend their whole lives making their wives happy, buf they don’t,spend any money for the same purpose. Some men How often does one hear a great man say, “I owe everything to my home training,” or “What I am my mother, or my father, made me.” And how often with truth, the bad man, the mean, petty small man, might say the game thing. Don’t judge a man by his clothes. God made one and the tailor made the other. Don’t judge a man by his fam- ily, for Cain belonged to a good family. Don’t judge a man by his failure in life, for many a man fails because he is too honest to succeed. Don’t judge a man by the house he lives in, for the lizard and the rat often inhabit the grander structure. When a man dies, they who survive him ask what property theré is left behind ; the angel who bends over the dying man asks what good deeds he has sent before him. Did you ever Know a woman to re- gret that she knew how to do exqui- sitely fine needle-work or plain sewing, to bake light, wholesome bread, or de- licious pies or cakes? Did you ever know one who ashamed of her skill in pickling and preserving, or who was unwilling to admit that she could arrange a table, order a course dinner. and if need be, do the cooking herself? No, indeed, but many a woman has spent years in trying to acquire the knowledge of household affairs of which she ‘should have been mistress before she was fairly in long dresses The mother who fails to instruct her - daughter in such branches, delrauds her of woman’s best right, the right to a knowledge of how to make a home. Perhaps only a home for herself, but, oh, how pretty and pleasant it ean be if the tact. the skill, the grace of a trained hand and eye and taste are there to bring it into perfect symmetry. was Boys and girls are often spoiled by parental gloom. The father never un- bends. The mother’s rheumatism hurts so she does not see how little Maggie can ever laugh. Childish cu- riosity is denounced as impertinence. The parlor is a parliament, and every thing in everlasting order. Balls and tops in that house are a nuisance, and the paper that the boy is expected to relish most is geometry, a little sweetened by the chalk of black- boards. For cheerful reading the fa- ther would recommend “Meditations Among the Tombs.” At the first chance the boy will break loose. With one grand leap he will burst away into all riotous living. He will be so glad to get out of Egypt that he will jump into the Red Sea. The hardest colts to catch are those that have a long time been locked up. Re- straints are necessary, but there must be some outlet. Too high a dam will overflow all meadows. Woman, can’t you see? You caught your husband with honey, and you cannot hold him with vinegar. The outside of the house is the only ‘side which in truth belongs to a hen-pecked husband. They take to the outside so speedily when there is unpleasantness within, that any woman with only a little thought and observation may know what will come of trying to train a husband as she would a fractious school boy. Whatever he may be, for the home’s sake, she is obliged to keep sweet. We have seen women who ap- parently enjoyed scolding their hus- bands in the presence of others, and we have seen mothers who indiscreetly punish their children before visitors, thus humiliating the dear wayward ones and making them feel that their reputations were so damaged that there was no use in trying to be good. But such women are not the mistresses of those homes where the household machinery glides on with noiseless ease, without force or effect seeming to be required to move it along. They cannot create the sunny, cheerful fire- sides that men love better than all the world beside, and the memory of which something | pos- | perfectly | in | : : : | | leaves his mother to find her way home | children tenderly cling to as long as life lasts. HOME. Cherish the home with infinite ten- derness. You cannot love it too much, nor give it too much time and thought. Remember life has nothing better to offer you; it is the climax and crown of God’s gifts. Make every day of life in it rich and sweet. It will not last long. See to it that you plant no seeds of bitter memory ; that there will be no neglect and harshness to haunt you in after years. Your little ones will die and go hence your words and spirits planted in their eternal nature. Sons and daughters will go from you into the great "world, live you have taught them, be strong | weak according to the spirit engrafted upon them. How you { yearn for them. whether living or dead! bitter will be the with HE to fo will How sweet or how the home from which they have gone fforever? So live with them and train them now that when they are gone you and they ean ook back the with thankfulness and not regret. on past MATRIMONTAL NON’TS, Don’t marry the ‘young man who as best she can on a dark night, while without thought or word of apology to the old lady, he looks after you. One of these days when the novelty is worn off, he will leave you to go alone as best you can, while he seeks his enjoy- ment at the club. Don’t marry a man whose friends smile at each other when his name is mentioned, and say, “Well, we hope he will come out all right, but he is sow- ing a few wild oats, now.” Remember what is sown before marriage is reaped after marriage. It will be very awk- ward for you to be obliged to reap that crop, one of these days; and if you marry him, you will have the most of it to gather in. Don’t marry a man whose linen is more spotless than his character, whose shirt-collar is more inflexible than his integrity, and whose necktie is the only immaculate thing about him. Collars and cuffs and neckties are all very well ; but they do not make up a good husband, though they do very well on a tailor’s dummy. Integ- rity of character is as much more im- portant than these things as a man is of more impotance to the world than a dude. IS YOUR HOME C08Y? homes all. we There are many so-called that do not deserve the name at Home means comfort, but when have it fixed up so elaborately that we must sit in the garret or the back yard to genuinely enjoy ourselves, then it is high time we made a change and turn- ed out the too-good-to-use articles, and substitute for them real homely things that we could enjoy every day of the year and every moment of the day. Men like pretty home-makers, no mistake there. They can appreciate besuty as well as the next one, but they want that beauty to be of an or- der that appeals to their comfort. Of what good are cushions so elaborately embroidered that no head ean rest on them? What sense is there in easy chairs of such rich material that they are quite the reverse of the name giv- on them? Is there any satisfaction in a room the furnishings of which cost hundreds of dollars, when it is only open at rare intervals, when the owner, perhaps, sits by the kitchen fire or in some dingy sitting-room, where he can put his feet on the fender if he wants to, can smoke, and as a great indulg- ence, tilt back his chair? Let the sunshine into the gloomy rooms, have a couch to lie on. a piano to play on; in fact, a home to live in; one wherein a sense of hospitality and and chairs, instead of a mausoleum of gloomy elegance, wherein everything is for show and nothing to be used. The News=—No Pure Drug Cough Cure Laws would be needed, if all Cough Cures were like Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure is—and has been for 20 years. The National Law now requires that if any poisons enter into a cough mixture, it must be printed on the label or package. For this reason mothers, and others, should insist on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. No poison-marks on Dr. Shoop’s labels—and none in the medicine, else it must by law be on the label. And it’s not only safe, but it is said to be by those that know it best, a truly remarkable cough remedy. Take no chance, particularly with your chil- dren. Insist on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. Compare chrefully the Dr. Shoop package with others and see. No poison marks there! You can al- ways be on the safe side by demanding Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. Simply re- fuse to accept any other.

But with that way, two treatments, must be combined. One is local, one is constitu- | tional, but both are important, both essential. Dr. Shoop's Night Cure is the Local. Dr. Shoop's Restorative, the Constitutional. The former—Dr. Shoop's Night Cure—is a topical? mucous membrane suppository remedy. while Dr. Shoop's Restorative is wholly an internal treat. ment. The Restorative reaches throughout the: | entire system, seeking the repair of all nerve, , all tissue, and all blood ailments. The ‘‘Night Cure”, as its name implies, does its work while you sleep. It soothes sore and inflam- ed mucous surfaces, heals local weaknesses and discharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition, builds up wasted tissues, bringing about renewed strength, vigor, and energy. Take Dr. Shoop's Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—as a general tonic to the system.
