Every mother who lov«

A mother who is intelli-
gent will have a special

will try her best to form good characters in her little citizens.
The indifferent mother is responsible for many of the grave errors in
childhood, and if the first offense is treated lightly the child will not see
why it should not follow its bent
Perpetual watchfulness is necessary to curb all unruly tendencies, that

Conquer deceit, and you have reached the main source of future
trouble.
When your sensibilities have been shocked by some act of your off-
spring, try to show the child how grievous was the wrong.
If you can get the culprit to thinking deeply you will see that he
is really aware of his wrong. This method is all that is necessary for a
first offense. If the child loves his parents and sees that he has deeply
grieved them, he will not willfully repeat his wrongdoing.
If you allow a child too much freedom, it will choose for itself and
become the governor of its own habits. Until you know that the mind
can grasp the right and wrong you, as guardian, are the responsible party,
so do not horsewhip and terrorize until you are satisfied that some of the
fault does not lie at your door.
If your child should come under the hand of the law for a misde-
meanor, do not make him feel that he is a criminal. Help him out of his
trouble, and if you feel that you are somewhat to blame, say so, and arouse
the honor that is in the child. You will find that he will resent the impli
cation. _,

A rather pretentious house of very
pleasing design is shown in the cuts.
There are many new features about
this house that are likely to become
popular.
The idea of placing the stairway In
the center or near the center of tbe
house Is a good one and I am pleased
to note that the people generally ap-
prove of It because I feel that It I* a
sensible improvement in house build-
ing. In this plan the stairway *s
quite an innovation. While you start
up from almost the exact center of
the house tbe most of the space oc-
cupied by the stair is against the
back wall, the least valuable space in
tbe house.
The stair itself is what you might
call a three way combination stair-
Besides the main stairway there is a
separate back stair from the kitchen
leading up ten steps to meet on a
landing. This landing Is high enough
to give head room for a passageway
across under it leading from the
kitchen to the reception hall. This
gets back in a sensible way to the
old idea of connecting the kitchen
with the front door without being
obliged to pass through the dining
room. This passage way also gives
access to the cellar stair, which ts
placed under the back stair. In this
passage way also Is the opening to

he that la righteous, let him do righteous-
ness still: and he that la holy, let htm be

Do the wicked,
cease sinning
when they die?
Probably the vast
majority of those
who ever consider
this question with-
out deep thought
say they certainly
do, for men are
to render account
to God for the
deeds done In tbe
flesh, and when a
man dies his ac-
count is closed.
Is it not wise to
matter a little carefully?
Our thoughts are presented from
the evangelcal standpoint as to the
nature, manifestation, and outcome of
sin. The widely prevalent modern,
though erroneous, view of sin makes
It rather an advantage than a disad-
vantage. Adam's fall being upward v
rather than downward.
One of the first suggestions is tbat
sin is self-perpetuating. It is a com-
mon saying that one sin leads to an-
other—that Bin follows sin somewhat
automatically. Sin, however, is not
to be considered as consisting chiefly
In outward transaction, but in the
motive that Is behind it. When a man
dies his personality with Its stamped
character continues, and reason would
Bay that his course of action with re-
spect to the moral law is to continue.

Good Clothes Exert

For the average salaried
person the proposition of
keeping himself well clothed
and equally well fed is a
bitter one.
The majority of people
have a ccrtain amount of
pride. They resent pity intensely and their every faculty is bent toward
keeping the other fellow in the dark as to their shortcomings financially.
Consequently the skimping is never done in dress. It is possible to eat
very sparingly unbeknown to your best friend, but the minute your coat
begins to look shabby and your shoes to take on a down-at-the-heel expres-
sion it is quite evident to all who look that you are financially embar-
ressed.
I have been supporting myself more or less for the last eight years,
and I found out early in the game that appearances must be kept up.
Time after time I have watched the girl with a college diploma in her
hand and a college education in her head, but withal poorly dressed, give
place to the girl exquisitely neat in person who always looks spick and
span. The latter may be sadly behind the other in intellectual attain-
ments, but her appearance is her stock in trade, and shfc is an ornament
to any office.
Personally, I must declare that dress is an important factor. Good
clothes exert a potent influence over me. The necessity of wearing any-
thing shabby amounts to actual pain. The knowledge that I am not
stylishly dressed tends to clothe me not only in ill-fitting, ugly clothes, but
a gloom beside which the clothes look radiant. Call it vanity, false pride,
what you will; but I must be well groomed and immaculately clad to
keep my self-respect. When it becomes necessary to skimp the skimp
is applied to the table and not to the wardrobe.

§
Conversation Like Noise
of Train in Tunnel
By Rev. Frank Que, Qiicfo
"His conversation is like
the noise of a train in a tun-
nel, one idea deafening you
with its echo."
I found this sentence in
a recent little book I picked
up in an English book stall.
It i> a most meaty and pungent phrase. Who has not heard that
noise? When Binks comes along you hear the tunnel roar before he begin*
to talk on the one subject that resounds forever in hi* He over-
whelms you with theatrical talk.
Jinks is loaded to the muzzle with single tax arguments; Binki ia
whirled away by some new religious fad, and when he leaves you your

Whole domestic hobby; Minks begins to reverberate when he gets upoq the
topic of politics, both he and you are deafened by the overtones of hia
one idea; and winks is a quiet little man enough until the matter of pro-
hibition is wrought up, when his eye kindles and the train begins to roll.
It it well to be earnest and to have convictions, but, in the language of
the street, "there are otbm."
It would be bard to find fault with
the arrangement In any particular

thing about a beam celling that seema
to give an artistic tone to a room as
nothing else will. Sometimes the idea
is overlooked. When, like all other
fashionable things, If overdone, the
effect is spoiled. Beams in a cell-
ing should have a natural effect. A
beam Is primarily intended to support
something. To appear right it must
be large enough and heavy enough to
fulfill Its mission. Heavy beams are

venient to the kitchen and there is
a chute reaching down into the cel-
lar which is provided with a dumb
waiter so that trips back and forth
may be eliminated as much as pos-
sible.
It will be noticed by a study of the
many details that this is no ordinary
house plan, for it contains more ad-
vantages than is ordinarily found
even in elaborate designs, is not only
a well arranged house downstairs,
but the upstairs plan Is just as g£od.
There are four bedrooms and a well
appointed bathroom. Every bedroom
has one or two clothes closets and
there Is a linen closet in the hall.
This amount of room on the second
floor 1s made possible in a house of
t' ls size by the manner in which the
stairway Is built. It not only econo-
mizes space, but It lands you central-
ly, within easy reach of the doors to
the different rooms.
While the roof cuts off a portion
of the upper walls of some of the bed-
rooms It does not Interfere with tho
comfort of the occupants. There is
quite a saving In building the roof
in this way.
Nothing Like Precision.
President Wilson, at a dinner In
Washington, said of a statistician:
"His figures are *o precise that one
Inclines to doubt them. He Is like the
American sugar planter In Hawaii
who, taking a friend t)b tbe edgs of a
volcano, said:
"'That crater, George, 1a just n>,.
004 yeaim old.'
" 'But wby tbe four?* George asked.
"'Oh, I've been here four.' was tbe
reply. 'It was 70,000 when 1 came.' *
Different.
"And I thought ywu were a mend
of mine?"
"So 1 am. I would give you my last
cent"
"Your talk sounds big. but yoe
don't live up to It When I just- *
"You dldnt aak me for my last cent
you asked me to lend you Ave dot
'eternal Bin.'"
The punishment of sin is not today
held up before the transgressor, but
rather the sin itself. Is not the sin
really the great evil? It may be said
that if a man can cease from sin out-
wardly In this life, sin may not be-
come permanent. But this ceasing
from sin Is by almighty power alone,
and this power is denied after death.
If it is further said that man by the
mere force of his own will can ceaso
from sin, we reply that the ceasing Is
only In the outward manifestation
and not in the real sinning, which be
longs to the motive.
Meager light 1b thrown on the activ-
ity of the wicked after death, but we
know the scripture teaches that men
who die in sin go to dwell with the
devil and his angels. What is the em-
ployment of the devil? Does any one
who believes in a personal devil be-
lieve that he does not continue to sin?
Is he not Intensely active, the instiga-
tor of all the cruelty, oppression, wars,
abominations, lies and wretchedness
in the universe? If so, what about
ihose whom scripture calls his chil-
dren? Jesus said they do the deeds
of their father, and are they any less
children after death than before?
There Is no evidence that after
death there 1b a cessation from sin 11
we consider the employment or expe-
riences of the inhabitants of the other
' world. As to heaven, about which we
know much more than about hell, we
learn the employment of the right-
, eous. There Is no intimation of sin-
| nlng, there Is consequently no gospel
preaching, mission work, social regen-
eration, or anything of that kind, but
the Inhabitants of heaven are engaged
in the praise of Rod, In worshiping
him in his glorious majesty, and doing
his behests whatever they may be. In
the text we read that he that it>
righteous Is to do righteousness still,
and he that Is holy. Is to be made
more holy. Some one might say, "If
the conditions In this life have a ten-
dency to perpetuate themselves, will
not Christians who show imperfection
by sinning, continue to show theii
Imperfection in heaven in the same
way?" We might admit that if we
did not have the direct teaching of
scripture that there is rio sin in heav-
en, nothing that defiles, th|t works
abomination or makes a lie. From
analogy we would conclude from the
employment of the Inhabitants ol
heaven, the employment of the wicked
will be unrighteous or sinful.
The teaching of sculpture, though
not abundant, seems to be clear. Jesus
said (Mark .1:29, A. R. V.) that if a
man sin against the floly Grost be
shall be guilty of an eternal sin. This
certainly teaches that there Is at least
one eternal sin, a sin that continues
in action forever. Revelation 22:11
seems to leave the matter beyond dis-
pute, and It is well to observe that
this teaching comes at the very close
of tbe Bible. "He that Is unrighteous
let him do unrighteousness stilt, and
be that is fllthy, let him be made j
filthy still." Tbe marginal reading
suggests the phrase "yet more" for
the word "still" In each case. Hera,
certainly, the employment of tbe
wicked is clearly presented.
What a sad fate, doomed to eternal
■inning! Tbe only escape Is to have
tb* motive to sin removed by tbe In-
dwelling lMe of Christ Then tbe
habit of doing rlgbteouaness will «*.
