too much tenderness.
An over -confident and fearless boy
may very easily become uncouth and
overbearing to a degree that makes
him an objectionable human being.
Sucha boy, therefore, must be ton -
.ed down a bit. He must be made to
learn the advantages to himself as
well as to others, of kindness, respect,
'love and sentiment.
The bold boy is, egoistic and often
conceited. His pride therefore is the
weakness of his armor. Touch his
pride and you can do a lot with him.
Make it a point of pride that, because
-of his strength and masculinity, much
more is expected of him in the way
of. chivalry.
On the other hand, the boy who
likes best to stay by himself, shrinks
from entering into the rough play of
children of his own, age and, in gen-
eral is not a goodmixer, should be
encouraged to be more rugged and
less sensitive.
He should not be forced, but the
advantages of growing into manhood
that is unafraid should be stressed at
.every possible opportunity.
Athletics and all forms of competi-
tive sports, especially in the open,
are excellent for all boys. For the
seclusive boy, nothing is better. But
games ought not to be too difficult
at first, else• they discourage and de-
press still further, a spirit that is
fearful of expressing itself.
When once the cautious boy finds
aliz s that and ze c_ he can do
certain things and win the same as
the others, it does not take long be-
'fore the natural edge of the human
'being will essay with its strength and
-with repeated trials and successes the
:boy will blossom forth equally as cer-
tain of himself as the rest.
Often, indeed, a timid boy event-
ually becomes an overbold man. The
HALLOWE'EN PARTY
Perhaps the most looked for day
(to the youngsters at least), of the
whole year falls on this month -Hal-
lowe'en, Indeed it is such an oc-
casion that has such a wealth of .pos-
sibilities that it can be enjoyed by
old as well as young. The grotesque
pumpkins and the eerie witches which
seem to symbolize this night, offer
many ideas for the entertainment with
which we are wont to celebrate it.
A clever party, using these themes
can be made of an old fashioned hard
times party. Write the invitations on
torn pieces of wrapping paPer, with
pencil of course. Then do not mail
them unless it is impossible to find a
small boy in the neighborhood who
will deliver them from door to door.
The house should be stripped of as
many things as possible, including the
nicer furniture and ancient straight
chairs and old tables substituted.The
floors should be left uncovered and
the curtains removed from the win-
dows. Zig-zag strips of paper pasted
across the mirrors give a most effec-
tive hard-timey appearance.
If the guests have been asked to
wear the most disreputable and Out-
landish outfits procurable, the whole
effect will be funny.
The table on which the refresh-
ments are served can be uncovered
or laid with a paper cloth. A huge
pot of beans in the centre with a

tato salad, sandwiches, doughnuts and

If the house is lighted with pump-
kins end decorated with cornstalks
and witch scarecrows it will be un-

a friend will read some book, while
several women work upon a piece of

In Seville the chief recreation of
the day for women and other fami-
lies is to drive in the Paseo de las
Delicias in the cool of the evening.
It is then that the gorgeous liveries
of the Duke of Alba, the Duke of
Medinaceli, and other of the Spanish
nobility may be seen, as their car-
riages pass down the avenue of palm
trees festooned in roses, for the gar-
dens of Maria Luisa are among the.

leave the house for three months, and
she must remain in mourning for
three years. An Englishwoman mar-
ried to a Spaniard scandalized her
servants recently by walking in her
garden the day 'after her husband's
death. "She is a heartless wretch,"
they said. Often the front door of
the house is draped with black cloth
for a year or more.
In Spain the family Is a great link
A Spanish girl recently left for Amer-
ica, and her family, some twenty peo-
ple in all, journeyed from Burgos, in
Northern Spain, to Seville to bid her
good-bye, although they had last
seen her a fortnight before. And this
incident is not an exception.
This family spirit, however, has its
disadvantages. Some year.; ago there
was a well-known dancer, called Dora
la Cordobesita, who delighted all
Southern Spain by her dancing, She
was the idol of Seville. Had she liv-
ed in any other country she woule
now have been a rich woman, but
elle was compelled by Spanish custom
'to share out all her earnings among
her relatives. Every night, when the
performance was finijhed at the the-
atre, some ten or twelve of her rela,
tions escorted her home. Of course,
she was never allowed to speak to
any man.
The Spanish women of strict fain•
fly are thus allowed few recreation's

MATRIMONIAL PUZZLES
Queer Marriage Mysteries. Corrie 'Un-
der the Notice of Registrars
€ ud Justices of the Peace.
A. registrar of marriages in Eng-
land,
ngland, in an article in Tit -Bits states
that twenty: -six marriage Puzzles have
come beneath his observation during
his seventeen years of experience.
"We are a little early," one bride-
groom remarked. "Our witnesses will
be here directly."
He removed his new and somewhat
tight silk hat and there came away
with it a wig or toupee the kind that
dovetails into what is left of the real
hair. Startled, his bride gazed at
the expanse of baldness, gave a
startled cry, picked up her handbag,
and went, The man made no attempt
to follo
"Great Scott! I:forgot all about
it!" exclaimed a bridegroom when X

a jeweller's at few yards away. Off
he and his bride went, but they never
Came back! •
"The man wanted a fifteen -shilling

quarrelling, Suddenly she smacked
his face hard, and left him!"
"Oh, no," I told, another bride-
groom, "it's not my job to provide
witnesses, You had better go out-
side and ask two people if they will
oblige you."
He and his bride went out to get
witnesses, but failed to return, Meet-
ing him later, I asked the reason.
"Luck was out," he replied, gloom-
ily. "I went up to 'a chap, and when
he turned round he and my girl re-
cognised each other. It seems they
had been engaged, quarrelled, and
parted. And--and-well, they made
it up then and there, and she said
she was finished with me."
The next was rather a pathetic
case. ' When. I came to that part of
the ceremony where the bridegroom
has to 'pledge himself, ho stuttered
and stammered. He tried desperate-
ly, but could not get the words out.
I was going to suggest a rest for a
minute or so when his bride snap-
ped, "J'm not going to marrying a
stuttering idiot Good-bye."
And off she went. The man told me
he had stuttered years before, but
had been cured. The excitement of
the wedding had brought the afflic-
tion back again. I was very sorry for
him,
Taking advantage of the bride-
groom's removal of his overcoat, a
bride, much perturbed, whispered to
me: "Please -I'm so sorry for the
mistake -put me down as a widow in
the certificate."
Sharp ears, helped by a sudden lull
in the traffic outside, made the bride-
groom catch the word "widow," and
he insisted on explanations. The re -
suit was that two minutes later, after
he had snapped, "No bloomin' widow
for me!" he flounced out of the
o ce.
What mystery lay behind the fol-
lowing I do not know:
"Going to agree?" demanded a
bridegroom. "Last chance."
"Never," snapped the bride, And
at that the man, putting aten-shill-
ing note on my desk, bowed to the
woman, and went.

The MacDougalls First to Land on
Northern Isle.
Though, Iceland now belongs to
Denmark, it, was discovered by the
Ma.cDougails of Argyllshire, ancestors
'of the family which, now resides at
Dulloliie Castle, and whose eldest
daughter • is known by the pictur-
esque name"of the "Maid of Lorn:"
In early days the MacDougalls
were sea rovers, and when on their
adventurous voyages they always had
with them several
ravens -their mas-
cot bird. Sailing
along on
the e sea
north
-
ward
on a voyage of discovery, a Mac-
Dougall chief let loose a raven, hop-
ing it would show where land lay,
but the bird returned in the direction
when they had come.
Continuing their voyage, another
raven was released, and 'after circl-
ing around overhead, it came back
to the ship. Knowing the raven's
unerring instinct for making for
land, they knew there was none near.
On they sailed, and then let loose
another bird which set off in the di-
rection they were sailing. Following
it, these intrepid voyagers of the
Western Isles reached the unknown
land of Iceland.
A Bank -Note Ruse.
Do you know why the numbers on
bank notes appear twice? In the
eighteenth century, when Bank of
England notes had to be sent by mail,
they were cut into halves and the
separate halves sent by different
mails. This was to present the en-
tire note falling into wrong hands,
for when the mails Were carried by
road they were frequently . robbed by
highwaymen. But cutting the notes,
the sender could await the acknowl-
edgment of one half before dispatch-
ing the other.
Naturally the matching of these
half -notes gave the bank some trou-
'
bre, and for this rlsaeon an arrange-
ment was made in 1791 for num-
bers to appear on both halves
of
bank -notes.

To make up His jewels,
All His jewels, precious jewels,

Like the stars of the morning,

They shall shine.in their beauty,
Bright gems for His crown.

The Reverend William Orcuth, Cus-
hing, the author of the words of this
pretty children's hymn was born at
Hingman, Mass., in 1823. Mr. Cush-
ing has written his spiritual history
into his numerous hymns in much the
same manner as did Charles Wesley.
For instance, of his affecting lines be-
ginning,
"Down in the valley with my Saviour
I would go
Where the flowers are blooming and
the sweet waters flow."
he wrote: "Longing to give up all for
Christ, who had given His life for me,
I wanted to be willing to lay every-
thing at His feet, with no wish but
to, do His will, to live henceforth only
for His glory. Out of this feeling
came the hymn "Follow On." •
Of Ira Sankey's favorite for which
he wrote the words "0 Safe to. the
Rock that is higher than I." Mr. Cissh-
lug wrote "The history ,of many bat -
les is behind it. But the occasion
which gave it being was the call of
Mr. Sankey, He Said 'Send me, some-
thing new to help me in my Gospel
work.' A call from such a source
and for such a purpose seemed a (tail
from God. Z so regarded it, and pray-
ed: 'Lord give me something that
may glorify :Ghee.' It was while thus
waiting, that 'Hiding in Thee' pressed
to make itself known'
'Ring the ,.tells of Heaven,' y' he
says, "was Written to fit a beautiful
tune written by George r, Root en-
titled "The Little Octoroon.' • ,
When I heard the bells ringing over
some sinner that had returned it
seemed a glad day in heaven. Then
the 'words 'Ring the bells .of heaven'
waiting once flowed in to the wa ng m e cl-
ody. It was a beautiful anblessed
experience, and the bells seem ring-
ing yet." "Under His Wings I am
Safely abiding," and "There is joy in
Heaven," have histories equally touch-
ing, and have with other hymns of
Mr. Cushing's been used with grand
effect at evangelistic services.
But public opinion appears to be
determined to pin Mr. Cushing's claim
to immortality to his children's hymn
in which Dr. Root collaborated so.
successfully:
"When He cometh, when He cometh!"
This was the outcome of a touching
sermon preached upon the subject of
the' Last Judgment to an assembly of
little childrenr which had an effect
upon some present that will last into
eternity.
Dr. George Frederick Root, the
writer of the tune "Precious Jewels,"
to, which this hymn is always sung,
was in his day and country, quite
a famous musician, although born a
poor boy on a small farm in Sheffield,
Mass, He was naturally musical and
by the time he was eighteen had
taught 'himself to play all the instru-
ments within ithin his reach.
At that age he left farm work for
city life, and after some months of
struggle as aprivate teacher of music
c
was made instructor ofm sic in the,
public schools.
In 1839, a year later, he was also
director of music in two' churches.
Five years later ambition took him to
New York, where for the next six
years he was weal knoww as a suc-
cessful teacher o fnntsic and singing.
In l8so he left'for Europe and studied
for a year in Paris and elsewhere.
On his return to the United Statet.
he set to popular music Fanny Cros-
by's songs, "The Hazel Dell," "Ros-
elle the Prairie Flower," "There's
Music in the Air," etc, Theca carried
his name around the English speaking
would, The Civil War inspired hint
to write his well known r"Just Before
the Battle, Mliother," "Tramp, tramp,
tramp, the Boys are Marching," . "The
Battle Cry of Freedom," and other
once very well known songs, , He
also wrote more ambitious music such
as the cantatas . "Haymakers," and
"'The Flower Queen," several instruc-
tion books and "Methods."
He removed to Chicago in r86o
where the local University honored
him with its degree ,of Doctor` of
Music. It was there that he met Ira
D. Sankey, the singing evangelist, for
whom he wrote some hymn tunes.
He had written many hymn tunes
previously including that to the words
"My Days Are Gliding' Swiftly By,"
which came to him ashe first read.
the words and was written down ex-
temporaneously: "It seemed so very
simple and commonplace that I hesi-
tated about setting the other parts
to it." he said of its melody, "I fin-
ally decided that it might be useful
to somebody, and I completed it,
though it was not printed until some
months afterwards. In after years I
examined it in an endeavor to account
for its great popularity -but in vain.
To the musician there is not one rea-
son in melody or harmony, scientifi-
cally regarded, for such a fact."
'Dr. Root wrote words and music
too for some hymns of which the best
known is probably "Come to; the Sa-
viour, Make No Delay." The, music
of his "Jewel" tune came to him nat-
urally, lilted "themselves to the
words" as he conned them over
though we are told the chorus caused
him rather nigra trouble. •
