keep them pure and unsullied from con¬ 
tact with the darker life of this world. 
I have often seen children of tender 
age repulsed—not unkindly always—but 
repulsed in the midst of a burst of 
childish confidence ; and I have seen the 
little face grow grave ; I have seen tears 
spring to those sunny eyes, and I have 
heard the faltering step grow fainter as 
it lost itself in the distance. You can¬ 
not afford to do this, mothers; more can 
be lost in one such unkindness than can 
be regained by weeks of kindness in 
other directions. If this point has been 
neglected, begin immediately to remedy 
the fault. Teach your boys and girls 
the value of a mother’s confidence ; give 
them to understand that no one on all 
this earth can understand them as well 
as you, and that everything which inter¬ 
ests them interests you, and that you 
will feel pained if they should keep any¬ 
thing from you; and above all, never 
repulse them in any confidences, and 
you will realize in the long years to 
come, no bitter regrets for duty undone 
or love ungiven. 
PATTERNS FOR R. N.-Y. READERS. 
Write the order for patterns separate 
from other matter, give bust measure 
for waist patterns, waist measure for 
skirt patterns, and pattern number, and 
inclose 10 cents. Each pattern is com¬ 
plete with instructions for cutting and

putting garments together. For chil¬ 
dren’s or misses’ patterns, send age. 
6792. Misses' Basque. 
6664. Misses’ Skirt. 
Bands of velvet cross the yoke being 
secured under the broad pointed bre- 
telles with the buttons decorating each 
as shown. A narrow ripple basque is 
added at the lower edge, a band of vel¬ 
vet hiding the seam and forming a 
pointed outline in front. The sleeves 
are the one-seamed leg o’mutton. 
The gored skirt is one of the most ap¬ 
proved style for misses, the straight 
breadth in the back preventing sagging, 
and giving the necessary fullness at 
the top, that is becoming to youthful 
figures. 
The basque pattern, No. 6792, is cut in 
sizes for misses of 12, 14 and 16 years of 
age. The skirt pattern, No. 6654, is cut 
for misses of 10, 12, 14 and 16 years of 
age. _ 
Wearing Flannel. —Flannel should 
be worn during the summer months as 
well as the winter, according to the 
New York Ledger. Many persons think 
that, on the approach of hot weather, 
they should at once discard all flannel 
garments. But this is a great mistake. 
The common woolen flannel should be 
worn. One color has no advantage over 
another. To wash the flannel, put in a 
tub, pour some strong, boiling soapsuds

on it, leave it till the hand can bear the 
water, then, pour it off and add clean 
water, boiling hot; let it stand, also, as 
before. Pour off and add more boiling 
clean water, and, when cool enough, 
merely squeeze the garment with the 
hands—no wringing or rubbing. Stretch 
it immediately on a line in the hot sun, 
or before a hot fire, and as the water 
settles at the most dependent part of the 
garment, press it out with the hand, and 
be careful to stretch the fabric as soon 
as the water is squeezed out, aiming 
as much as possible to keep the flannel 
hot until it is dry. If woolen garments 
are treated as above, they will remain 
pliable and soft until worn out. 
FOR MIND AND HEART. 
We only live once ; ami death’s terrors 
With life’s bowers and roses entwine, 
And our lives would be darkened by errors 
Did we even, like eats, possess nine ! 
They would be, perhaps, all of them wasted, 
And recklessly squandered away, 
And not half of the joys would be tasted 
That one life can embrace in a day. 
Let the lives that we live be worth living: ; 
Let the days that we spend be well spent ; 
Let us save for the pleasure of giving, 
And not borrow at fifty per cent ; 
Let us never cease loving and learning, 
And use life for its noblest of ends ; 
Then when dust to its dust is returning, 
We shall live in the hearts of our friends.

....Harper’s Bazar: “Men marry at 
25, for love ; at 40, for comfort; at 50, 
for companionship ; at 60, because they 
are old fools.” 
. .. .Anonymous : “ The three chief mis¬ 
fortunes in life are : Childhood without 
parents, manhood without love, age 
without money.” 
-Gen. John Gibbon, U. S. A., in 
North American Review : “If women 
have progressed towards an approach to 
the equal protection of the laws, it has 
been due more to the progress of human 
affairs in this century than to anything 
else ; and it is possible that much of this 
progress has been due to the influence 
of women in rectifying a state of affairs 
which would not originally have existed 
if women had been represented by their 
own votes, instead of being represented 
by man’s * chivalry,’ etc.”

The pie was good; his wife

Do You Want a Watch ? 
W HEN the prices of Watches were reduced during the panic of 
1893 and the following year, we thought that surely they 
would go up again promptly. But we find that we are still 
able to bu}' them at panic prices, and some grades even cheaper than 
ever before. We urge no one to buy these watches of us. We 
simply know that retailers are obliged to make good profits on 
watches, no matter where they are located, and we are simply buy¬ 
ing these, as we want them, at wholesale prices, and add enough to 
cover cost of correspondence and postage, so that our readers, who 
want watches of any grade, can get them at practically wholesale 
prices. Every watch is guaranteed to us, and we, in turn, guarantee 
them to purchasers. We will return the money in any case of 
dissatisfaction. We, however, sell these watches only to subscribers.
