ure should have been in their culture 
and development—it was not to be won¬ 
dered at that they grew up careless, and 
being constantly told “ not to bother,” 
receiving few, if any, words of apprecia¬ 
tion, that they were unmindful of the 
things that would please their monther. 
More than one timid, sensitive child is 
made more so by constant faultfinding 
and repression, and finally reaches man¬ 
hood or womanhood with a blighted 
nature, not free to perform all the func¬ 
tions of a happy life, because of its hav¬ 
ing been continually nagged at while 
young, ever found fault with and rarely 
praised. 
INTERNATIONAL C. E. CONVENTION. 
V ERY favorable comment, with which 
we heartily concur, is made by the 
Review of Reviews on the recent Inter¬ 
national Convention of the Societies of 
Christian Endeavor in Boston: It seems to 
have been the most important of these 
great annual gatherings that has yet been 
held. The number of delegates is said 
to have reached 50,000. All evangelical 
Protestant denominations were repre¬ 
sented, the Presbyterians taking the 
lead. The Methodists and Baptists were 
not so numerously represented, because 
each of these great denominations has 
formed an organization of its own some¬ 
what analogous to the Christian En¬ 
deavor societies. These young people's 
organizations stand for an exceedingly 
hopeful and significant movement in the 
church life of the present decade. They 
emphasize above all things the carrying 
of the clear and simple principles of 
practical religion into the affairs of daily 
life, whether private or public. The Bos¬ 
ton meeting laid its principal stress upon 
,l Christian Endeavor” in public affairs. 
The leaders of the movement have had 
the wisdom to perceive that administra¬ 
tive reform and honest politics are the 
crying needs of our public life, and that 
it is the business of Christian men and 
women to work actively for the adop¬ 
tion of higher political standards. True 
patriotism and civil duty were the watch¬ 
words of the great meetings held in Bos¬ 
ton, and historical pilgrimages to revo¬ 
lutionary shrines in the vicinity of the 
New England capital were also made 
by many thousands of the delegates, in 
the spirit of a new consecration to the 
true principles of American liberty. 
ODDS AND ENDS. 
Wheeling the Carriage. — A rope 
three or four yards long, attached to 
the front axle of the baby’s carriage, 
saves many steps ; for one can sit down 
and, with the hand or foot, send the car¬ 
riage away the length of the rope, then 
draw it back, and baby appreciates the 
ride just as well, yes, better, than when 
wheeled about in the usual way. Then, 
perchance, you can read an occasional 
paragraph, and have something pleasant 
to divert the mind while you are con¬ 
fined to the work. may maple. 
A Sad Occasion. —An old farmer living 
in the backwoods of Michigan, suffered 
the loss of his wife, a most amiable and 
respectable woman, says the Home 
Queen. Notwithstanding the age of the 
widower, he married a young and giddy 
girl about a month later. The neigh¬ 
bors, all of whom had great respect for 
his departed better half, became very 
indignant. So, on the night of the wed¬ 
ding festivities, they gathered from all 
points—men, women and children — 
about 100 in number. They carried tin 
pans, tin kettles, and horns, and at 9 
o’clock there commenced such a din as 
was never heard before. The old man 
stood it as long as possible, but finally 
he threw the door open, and waving his 
hand for silenoe, said : “I should think 
that you folks would not make such a 
racket around here so soon after there 
has been a funeral.” 
MOTHERS .—Be sure to use “Mrs. Wins¬ 
low’s Soothing Syrup” for your children 
while Teething. It is the Best.— Ado. 
FOR MIND AND HEART. 
I love to hear the scornful village cock 
Challenge, with scornful cadences, the morn; 
But more to hear some matron of his flock 
Cackle in triumph o’er an egg new born. 
Hysteric egotist ! With frantic pride 
Her grand achievement to the world she tells, 
Pacing the barnyard with impatient stride, 
While every pullet’s breast with envy swells. 
Good right hath she her feelings to express, 
Without whose golden gifts the world were pud¬ 
dingless. — W. R. Barber in N. Y. Ledger. 
_Australian Agriculturist : “Char¬ 
ity not only covers a multitude of sins, 
but many things which eventually prove 
to have been no sins, only slanders.” 
....Emerson: “The days are ever di¬ 
vine. They come and go like muffled 
and veiled figures sent from a distant 
friendly party ; but they say nothing, 
and if we do not use the gifts they bring, 
they carry them as silently away.” 
....Elizabeth Cady Stanton: “The 
virtue of self-sacrifice has its wise limi¬ 
tations. Though it is most commendable 
to serve our fellow beings, yet woman’s 
first duty is to herself, to develop all 
her own powers and possibilities, that 
she may better guide and serve the next 
generation.” 
... .The Housekeeper : “ Many women 
who have made the discovery that men 
are not little gods, seem inclined to the 
opposite extreme of assuming that they 
are all very bad. It is important to 
recognize that in mankind, as well as 
other products of nature, there are both I 
bad and good, and the universal aspira- ’ 
tion should be toward the good.” 
_ W. 1). Howells in The Outlook : 
“ I have come latterly to think that the ' 
differences we see between men and 
women, are due very largely to their 
bringing up—to their education. Boys 
and girls begin to be differentiated when 
they are small children, and I must say 
that I think the stress we lay on the pro- j 
prieties with them is a very mischievous 
one. The girl is not allowed the freedom 
the boy has. Many of the things he does 
she is warned against. Her mother says: 
‘That is very rude, that is very tomboy- 
ish ; you mustn’t do that;’ and her open- 
air life begins to be curtailed very early. | 
It’s our version of the Chinese foot¬ 
binding.”

D URING the panic times of last year, the great watch-case factories cut the prices of their 
skilled labor, and correspondingly reduced their own margins of profit, so that we were 
able to contract for watches at prices not dreamed of before. In many cases, the skilled 
labor has been restored to its old price; and ultimately watches must recover something of 
their old-time prices. Yet our contract still holds good, and for the present we are able to send the 
watches described below at the same prices as last year. We, of course, reserve the right to withdraw 
these prices at any time. Every watch is guaranteed, and money will be returned in any case of 
dissatisfaction.
