HEAD AND HEART
No true manhood can lie train
r<l by a merely intellectual proc-
ess. Yon cannot train uien h.v
the Intellect alone; you must
train tliem by the heart, and
this shows the fundamental mis-
take which is being made by
some modern teachers You can
never train a church out of the
head. Yon may have a church
so called, and you may open
halls and bring to them the most
scientific men in Europe, and
you may lecture on all scientific
topics, yet you can never make
a church out of the head You
must take hold of manhood by
the heart if you would train it
into strength and dignity and
usefulness .losoph I'arker
What a happy world this world
would be if the innocency of
childhood's tender years could be
carried thru age. So while we
are training them in the way they
should walk, let us watch our
own footsteps, and not cut off
their harmless mirth to suit our
tastes that have gro'vn eombre
with age and care. Be as care-
ful to keep the weeds out of the
minds of your children as you are
out of your garden. But remem
ber something will grow there.
If you dont plant them with good
grain, the tares will take rcot in
spite of you. Keep a library of
good clean books, and by all
means keep your home paper be-
fore them.
To make a boy into a pure man,
a mother must do more than pray.
She must live with him in the
sense of comrade and closest fii-
end, must stand by him in time of
temptatii n as the pilot sticks to
the wheel when rapids are aro-
und. She must never desert h:m

. Whoever tikes a little child
into his l> ve, mBy have a very
roomy heart, but that child will
fill it out. The children keep us
from growing old and cold; they
cling to our garments with their
little hands and impede our pre-
Rosy Cheeks
To be sure of your full
share of health and hap-
piness, do not allow the
painful troubles that come
from disorders of the deli-
cate womanly system to
use up your health and
strength. Once lost, the
magic of youth and health
is hard—sometimes im-
gress to petrifaction; they win us
back with their pleading eyes,
from curel care; they never in-
cumber us at all. A poor old
couple with no one to love them,
is a most pitiful picture; but a
hovel, with a small face to fill a
broken pane here and there, is
robbed of its desolateness
A taste for music, poetry, pic-
tures, etc, tends to destroy the
attraction for the vulgar. A
home of beauty, of tatle and
refinement always tends to ele-
vate and ennoble the mind, and
cultivate the spirit of conten'ment
Beauly fills the world, as well
as heaven, if we have eyes to r*ee
it. It is all open to us. The rose
is as fragrant, the lily as white,
and the hyacinth as delicately
blue, when cultivated by the poor,
as by the jeweled fingers of the
wealthy.
It is the mothers who hold the
world in place. They are the
balance wheels of the Universe.
They hold the scepter of power
by controlling the affections of
men. "The hand that rocks the
crable" has controlled armies.
Marie Theresa quelled the
tumult of a mighty army in Aus-
tria by raising her fair hand, and
we are told that all was hushed
to silence, as in clear sweet tones,
she spoke, "The bravest battles
that ever wa9 fought have been
fought by the mothers of men."

The Woman's Tonic
Mr. J. W. Church writes
from Summit, N. C.: "My
wife had been ailing for
years. She suffered agony
with her side and back.
Our family physicians
treated her without relief.
After taking Cardui, she
gained at once. Now she
is red and rosy as a
school girl." Cardui has
been in successful use for
more than 50 years. Try it
It is claimed that all the pres-
idents of the United States had
good mothers. It is said that
John Q. Adam9 until the day of
his death said the prayer his mot-
her taught him. Lincoln said,
"All that I am I owe to my moth-
ers." Garfiald kissed the
wrinkled face of his mother on the
dflj of his inauguration and said,
"You brought me to this." Gro-
ver Cleveland said, "Worldly
honors or worldly perplexities
will never cause me to forget the
lessons my mother taught me."
As the shadow lengthens, the
memory of a mother's love be-
comes intensified. Vision grown
dim with age becomes clear and
pictures of childhood days rise
before us in their perfections.
! It is well so few instances are
J on record where a mother has
failed to impress on her children'
with the value and purity of a
m /ther's love.
What are those whom we met
in society to us as compared to
our own home circle? Why do
we take pains to bj polite
and agreeable to them and neg-
lect those who have the strongest
claim upon us? It all comes a-
bout because we have got into
the wrong way of thinking. We
have put the home into the back
ground, when it should occupy
the foremost place in our thou-
ghts.
You get "down in the mouth"
too easily, my friend. Cheer up;
walk on the sunny side of the
street; live where you can catch
the south winds. Sunshine al-
ways warms and cheers, get more
of it and give it out, you have
livrd in the frigid zone too long
already. We would like to send
a gulf stream of joy into your
life. Give us a chance. Read
the Home Circle Department and
you will tlways wear a smile.

blues.
All the grand pictures and spier-
did works of art one can possess
will never adorn a room as do
the smilling faces of those dear-
est to us. The things that may
be bought are pleasant to have,
nor is wealth to be despised; but
never pity the poor man who has
the wealth that gold cannot buy,
nor the woman whose jewels are
those of which Cornelia was so
proud— good and obedient sons
Tha parlor as a parlor will soon
be a relic of the past. The very
name seems to suggest stiffness
and lack of comfort. The new
house will have the best room, in
which the whole family gather.-',
a warm, sunny place, a home
room in its truest sense. The
next generation will not waste
space on parlors. Perhaps a lit-
tle libary, for privacy, will also
be indispensable to many. This
cherry room of the future will
hold the piano, the general books,
the pictures, work baskets and
everything that severs to make
home a heaven of rest for loyal
hearts. Speed the day.
Little arms encircling the neck
will make the heart light, over
which the diamonds sparkle.
God Will Fill Your Cup.
All that seek religion are in
search of communion with God.
What is there between Him and
thee? Nothing but thyself. Each
can have what inspiration each
will take. God is continually
giving; He will not withhold from
you or me. As much ability as
He has given, as much as you
have enlarged your talent by
daily use, so much will he fill
with inspiration. I hold up my
little cup, He fills it full. If yours
is greater, rejoice in that, and
bring it faithfully t o the eame
urn. He who fills the violet with
beauty and the sun with light—
who gave to Homer his gift of
song, such reason to Aristotle,
and to Jesus the manly gifts of
justice and the womanly grace
of love and faith in Him—will
not fail to inspire also you and
me. Were your little cup to be-
as large as the Pacific sea, He
still would fill it full.—Theodore
Parker.
A Little Quiet.
There is no greater need in
this busy, restless, impetuous
age. There can be little real
thinking in this rush. We have
come to believe that we can get
thoughts in original packages, or
done into tabloids, at the corner
store, as we get our modern food.
Instead of thinking, we turn to a
book and find it done for us, and
when we get enough of these
ready-made thoughts we patch
them together in some way, and
have a conversation, an essay or
a sermon. The music of the etar3
the harmony of the universe can
no longer be heard because of
the confusion of the mob trying
to "get there." We have reach-
ed the point with many, where,
if not incapable, we are afraid to
think. Men and women often
cry out, "O, if I could only stop
thinking!" when as a matter of
fact they have not had a real
thought in a year, but have been
trying to fit together a picture
puzzle, or a crazy quilt of other
people's thought-fragments. Va-
cations once meant rest, and
quiet, and solitude, and thought,
now they but shift from one con-
fusion to another. Once the Lord
spoke to his servant, and the ser-
vant answared; now even an
earthquake will hardly attract
attention? The result, a race
living for bread alone,—which
must come from the public
trough. Give us noise, novelty
and nonsense, is the prayer of
the present, ar.d it is trying to
answer its own prayer to its
shame. Yet God is, and always
has been, but He dwells in the

E. P. Pickrel, of Denton. Texas,
says: '.My ba ck and kidneys bother-
ed mo for several years. It seemed
that every time I caught cold it
settled in my back and the pains
became so severe that I couldn't rest
well. The kidneys secretions were
also too frequent in passage and
caused me annoyance. Hearing of
Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a box
and they promptly restored my
kidneys to a normal condition and re-
moved the pains in my back. I
consider Doan's Kidney Pills to be
linest kidney remedy on the market
today."
