After he was fairly gone, Kate fell
to work in good earnest. and with
such help as her mother 'could give

set for his return.
After the greetings were over, and
the three, father, muiher'e d daugh-

said gayly:

"Yes," she said, demurely, "1 am

Come now, if you are through supper,
and see the suit."
It was spread out in atate.on the
parlor sofa. Kate took up the coat
and vest, which were alike in hue,
a dirty brick color with a large check
of green.
"We bought the cloth very cheap
on uccouut of the color—the clerk
said he could not sell it for any ,pride
as a general thing, and would let it
go for almost nothing. So as the
cloth is good and durable, and we
knew you• would not care for looks,
we took it:

—it is so firm and strong.
Farmer Greyson turned a wrathful
oountenance on his wife.
"What did you mean by allowing
that child to spend my money for
such stuff as this?" he said,•angrily.
"1 am sorry if you are not pleased,"
began his wife, feeling very doubtful
as to the result of Kate's scheme.
But Kate interrupted her.
"Don't blame mother if you are not

The deacon looked at her steadily
for an instant and then a light seem-
ed to dawn on ham, for he, leaned
back in his chair with a hearty burst
of laughter in which he was joined
by his wife and daughter; with all
his crusty ways he had a keen sense
of humor, and could appreciate a joke
even when against himself.
When he could speak, he said:
"That will do, Kate. I think you
are about even with me now. We
will call it square, eh ?"
"Yes,' replied Kate, clasping him
round the neck, "on one condition."
"What's that?" And hie eyes
twinkled with amusement.
"Thai. you. ,.viii neerer do 8o any

"Agreed," he replied. "And while
you are making conditions, allow me
to add one—that you put that ever-

And so the compact was made; and
although 1 cannot truthfully say the

way again, still, a look from Kate's
merry eyes usually brought him to

GOOD TEMPER A DUTY.
When it comes to be recognised more
generally, as it ought to be, that
good temper cannot only be cultivat-
ed, but is a Christian duty, and that
one has no moral right to inflict gloom
and despondency upon the 'home mem-
bers of the community, we shall doubt-
less see a marked change for the bet-
ter. Doubtless a sunny disposition is
natural to some and not to others;
but all may acquire this as well as
any other virtue; and its possession
is one of the strong recommendations
of one's religion. There is no reason
why one member of the family—say,
the unselfish mother—should supply
all the sunshine for the home.

than any other living man.

HAS HAD TWENTY-FIVE MASTERS
Qn thea silver anniversary the pri-
vate secretary is not unnaturally in-_
°lined to look upon what he de-
scribed to rite as his gallery of old
masters, with, the memory of which
he would hot part for all the city
could give him. •
In his reminiscent mood Mr. Soulsby
barna up amounts, and finds that in
the shapeand fermi of Mansion house
charitable funds no less enormous a
sum than £4;000,000 has 'passed' through
hits hands in these twenty five years.
It its upon their shares a this total
that ex -Lord Dlayora are most wont
to pride' themselves. Till this year of
grace Sir • George Fauidel-Phillips,
Lord Mayor of the Diamond Jubilee
tiime, was the record -holder with
£557,000 for the Indian Famine Fund
and £300,000 for other charities. The
outgoing. Lord Mayor, however, with
£1,021,000 for the widows: and orphans
of the war and £700,000 for other
charities, now takes ,first place.
Another responseble duty •. is the
'hunting up of facts• for Lord Mayoral
speeehes. Perhaps no one can •realize
the difficulties of oratory so well as
the Lord Mayor. It its not that a
Lord Mayor cannot as a rule make
a good speech upon almost any sub-
ject under : the gun; but the trouble
as it presents itself, is :that the ex -
agencies of circumstances necessitate
the specoh always being upon the

THE CARE OF THE BODY.
Great stress is laid by all instructora
in physical training on deep breath-
ing. A simple shoulder exercise that
the children may take several times
a day, consists in raising the shoulders
slowly but vigorously as high as pos-
sible, then slowly lowering them, This
may be done either with both shoul-
ders' at the same time, or with the
left and right .alternately. Inhale
while raising and exhale while low-
ering the shoulders. In a ease of a
so-called high shoulder, which is caus-
eid by a lameness of one side, or a
lateral weakness of the baokbone,the
exercise may be performed only on
one side, that is, by the lower shoul-
der. The bending of the body side-
ways; is helpful for lateral curvatures
'of the spine. The banding should be
performed by the opposite side from
that towards which the curvature
bends. All exercises should be taken
if possible out of doors, or at least,
with opened windows. If children do
not breathe deeply naturally, they
should be encouraged to take quiok
leg work by running and leaping—ex-
ercises that demand a great deal of
force in a short time. Let the chil-
dren associate pleasure with the care
of the body, let them run and jump
and climb and shout, indulging freely
in all out of door exercises, remember-
ing girls as well as boys need just
this training to keep them hardy and.
healthy.
DEFECTS OF EYESIGHT.
Thethree defects of eyesight which
are most commonly encountered in
otherwise healthy persons and which
can be moire or leste perfectly over-
come by means of glasses are near-
sightedness, far-sightedness and as-
figreatism. These are all important,
for, besides Lite discomfort and annoy-
ance of imperfect hie, the involun-
tary efforts which the sufferer makes
to see better strain the eyesand not
only injure them, but also give rise, -
through reflex action, to headaches
and various nervous diseases.
Near-sightedness, short-sightedness
or myopia, as it is variously called, is
a condition of the eyeball,—usually a
lengthening—in consequence of which
the rays of light axe brought to a
focus In front of the retina, and so
the object is blurred.
Many near-sighted people refuse to
wear glasses, preferring to deprive
themselves od sight for everything
beyond the nose rather than injure
their personal appearance as they
think. This is a short-sighted policy
for, besides losing much of the joy
of existence which comes from see-
ing the beautiful things about and
above us, such persons are very liable
to suffer from inflammation of the
eye produced by constant strain.
WAYS TO STOP A COLD.
TO PREVENT SPREADING.
It is a duty which we all owe to
each other to prevent the spreading
to others of any infectiousdisease we
may have among us, but many well-
meaning people are often careless in
little matters, such as writing letters
from a sick room, etc. Children should
not be sent to school from a house
where any infectious disease exists,
nor to church, meetings, inside omni- tions of the oris aq>mre mile.

HAIR MASSEGE.
As a rule, hair that is turning gray
and falling, can, in a woman under
50, be checked in its evil courses by
keeping it very clean, using a soft
brush lightly and by aid of one fin-'
ger massage, says an authority on
hair. The charm of massage is that
it nett only brings out a new growth;
but brings it Out even darker than
the natural color of the old hair. Any
patient sad sufficiently ambitious in-
dividual can help his or her hair by
massaging it correctly. There is a
general and erroneous impression that
to rub the scalp is to massage it,and
so serious an error is this, that if a
perfectly healthy heavily thatched
head is rubbed faithfully and persist-
ently all the hair will drop out.
To massage rightly and effectively
place one finger with a firm but not
severe pressure on any spat and with
it;,hush the loose scalp under it with
a regular, rotary motion. After a few
seconds move the finger along to an-
other point and repeat the process,
but never permit the finger end to
slide upon or rub the scalp's surface.
It seems a tedious method of induc-
ing hair to grow, but for all its slow-
ness it is sure, as no other process
Is, whether by aplieation of patent
liquid,/ or no."

SAILS AS DUST COLLECTORS,
Great quantities of dust collect on
the decks of vessels at sea, no matter
if they are swept twice or thrice a day.
Most of it, too, is found on sailing ves-

act as dust collectors. arresting the
