ous? In short, how can I teach them
uprightness, when. their father is
without principle, unless at the s,anae
time I teach them disrespect of hira?"
It is a sad state of effairs When
things come to such a pass in a home.
One would almost feel like asking the
mother why she ever married such
an excuse for a man, were it net for
the fact that we have se inener miss
mated couples in our .midetta were it
not that every day girls are deceived

"Papa does it." Hoev many *moth-
ers are told that when they correct
a child for something radically wrong.
And what ehall the mother do.? Shall
she cling to the old standard of ethics,
never to hint to a child hi is father is
anything eliort of perfect, and let
him do the thing he should not, just
because "papa" does? • Or shall she
make herse•If a new standard, and be
brave enough to tell the child he mug
do what is right', even if she must
. tell him his father is doing wrong?
Isn't the latter course the only
right and just one? Why should
children be allowed to come up with-

No 'mother has the right to refritin

What will they think then of the
mother who failed to de her duty?
In their minds site will be en a •par
w1th the father She taught them to
reepeet. But if he has trained thein
aright they will have only love and
pity. for her, for they will understand
at what a cost she taught them.
Child training is not 5ust for the
day. It is for the future—the eternal
future. The mother's one thought
should be not "What is easiest for
nee now?" but "What will be best for
my child fifty years from now?"
How. X Made Money.
I live on a fawn quite a distance
from town, and as father is always
busy attending to farm work, and as
mother is still busier with housework,
I nearly always had to make the trip
to town ill Our IittIe auto, to make
the necessary purchases..
On the way te.towia one Saturday
morning I stopped at a neighbor's
place a few minutes. While there I
hand her exclaim: "For pity's sake!
will have to go to.town to-dayearid
have so much week to do that I
deal see how in the world I can
spare the time." -
Right then and there I had et great
idea, 1 asked her what she needed
in town, telling her that I would de
her shopping for her. She was much
pleased, and insisted upon paying nee
for my trouble. I refused to take
pay, but told. her of my idea. She
thought it was good.
So, as seen as I had attended to
my purchases / returned by the neigh-
bor's house, and then Went home with
our own goods. Then I drove to
each. 'farm house within a radius of
ten miles; -and explained to each press
pective client that if she *as too busy
to go to town, I would go and do the
pureha,sing for her. I charged noth-
ing less than twenty-five cents. no
matter how small the . order,as
could not afford to go by out-of-the-
way places for less. Sometimes I
made as much as $1 from one client
on a trip, the 'amount depending upon
the -weight a the purchases: -
As the farms here are connected. by
telephone, I never had to go by a
farm to see what was wanted—r
merely took the order by Phone, then
delivered the goods. From that time
on, I had all the commissions I could
attend to. I hired a girl in my place
to help mother out when. I was not
at home. Besides the 'conintssion
flame each client, as soon as my (basis
nese was well established, merchants
began to alloaame good commissions
on the big orders 1 brought .them.
I transact all sorts of errands, and
I am busy from 'morning .until night.
I make good money at all seasons,
but during the busy seeson I average,
clear of expenses, about $15 a week.
And during the few idle Ileum I had
last spring and summer, I raised a
garden of my own, Freers this; 1
cleared $4a,. besides a lot ef, canned
toree.toes.-4.

The Hood's "Blister."
A difficulty has arieen since the new
super battle unit Hood has been
brought to virtual completion. Thie
monster, the largest fighting unit
afloat, left the Clyde a nhort time agoihereah,
"blister" and all. The occasion served,
to remind many Englishmen that the
idea of disannarcient is to be scrapped
along the obsolete battleships.
The problem over , this $35,000,000
floating beauty has been created by,
realization of the fact tlast only one\
naval base in England has a dock. of,
sufficient dimensions, to berth her. The
original intention was that the Hood
dead proceed to Devenport, but this
plan had to be abandoned at the elev-
enth hour when it was found that the
Keyhani dock was too narrow to per'
mit her to pass safely through. There.
fore, the Hood was despatched to
Rosyth, whieh promises to be the per
manent and abiding home of the new
unit and any later sisters.
The docks at other naval bases, not
ably Dovouport. were designed to Bee
conamodate superchreadnaughts of the

of the new and longer units has made

Sound of Undersea Craft.
Admiral Sir Richard Paget, formerly
assistant secretary to the Admiralty
Board of Invention and Research, was
the hero of a startling incident in the
war that has just come to light. Pro-
fessor Bragg, specking at the Royal
Institution on sowed and kindred mile(
jects, told the story. During tb.e war
numerous experiments were made in
the attempt to devise means of trap'
ping submarines, and Sir Richard took
the leading role in one.
