"NO TWO ALIKE!"

It is a wonder which has become a commonplace that each of the millions of mjin and women in the world has an appearance so different from all the others as to be easily recognizable amonsf the throng. The rare exception to the rule, as in the case of those twin brothers, one of whom died recently in Boston, is regarded as a little short of miraculous. In reality the'miracle is in the usual unlikeness, instead of the occasional likeness.

To be sure, all Chinese look alike to Americans, but it is equally true that all Americans look alike to Chinese. ,„The fact doubtless is that the distinguishing variations are not

the same for the two races. We look

at two Asiatic faces, and seeing them

alike where Caucasian faces are aif

Certain it is that although there mav be a characteristic American voic2 or figure there is no distinctive American face. This may be accounted for by our miscellaneous forbears, but it is quite likely to be explainnd b}' our widely varied lives and occupations

The recognizable handwriting ot each man and woman is another curious and wonderful fact. The forger becomes clever, not by accident, but

DRILL IN ARITHMETICAL COMPUTATION.

The following is the plan ©f a drill in arithmetical computation which I have never heard of failing in interest. Its two purposes are rapidity and accuracy,

Entertainmenfifor the New Year.

Lippincott's Magazine sends hearty New Year's greetings to its readers all over the world. And may they/be happier for reading twelve numbers of the Magazine during the year 1906.

The January issue contains Marie Van Vorst's new novelette, "The Master of Craven." This tremendously strong tale is bound to exeite—and abundantly gatisfy—a wide interest wherever the name ot Van Yorst is .known among all classes. The author is American through and through, though she spends much time in Paris, whose atmosphere is productive of the good fiction that comes straight to the hearts of her own countryman.

A WOMAN'S PLACE IN OUR RURAL HOMES.

Avhome is of itself a little government, in which we are protected by statute and patiiarchial laws. A woman's place is to see that the laws of home are carefully enforced and that first of all things, to make a home a place of comfort and happiness, is to have order and the strictest discipline. The term helpmate means partnership in home affairs, under home laws. It is a woman's duty to keep every detail of home sacred and inviolate. This duty being performed, home becomes a place of peace and happiness, if neglected it is a house divided against itself. The divorce mills are patronized, families ruined and passed to the intermediate points of the compass of sin and iniquity.

Mother is assigned many very responsible duties aside from her routine' of domestic life. She should be as eminently qualified to adorn the parlor as the kitchen. Ia fact she should be a woman in the kitchen and a lady in the parlor. To govern we must first learn to do and obey. Having these accomplished, we can go forth and do our duty, making home the abode of happiness.

We do not understand that home means vast fortunes of wealt^i, but that home is home, be it ever so impoverished. And we believe, it the partnership is valid, where truth and virtue are held paramount, peace must and will be supreme. Mother's sacred name commands respect at home and afar. Even the vilest of men will defend their mother's fair name.

It is claimed that the youthful

Of the half-dozen short stories which follow "The Master of Craven," each one possesses a delightfully distinct significance and individualism. "The Door to the Rright," by Baroness von "Prince George' Hutton (the creator of "Pam"),1 is a clever Social problem story "Jack's Bill-Board Girl" by Norval Richardson, is a humorous theatrical story "The House on Fayette Street," by new writer of considerable originality, Jane Belfield, is about

Francies a Dragon, a Lover, Goldfish and a Rose" "A Missionary Appropriation," by Edith Morgan Willett, is a burg lar story, concerning a porten tously funny merchant and his wife "The Atonement," by LuellenCass Teters, is a humorous story of love and superstition and "The Strike ^in the Clarion Office," by Caroline A Huling, is a striking "strike" story connected with a newspaper office. "Is a Surplus More of a Menace than a Surety?" by a finacier who calls himself simply, "W. L. "is likely to provoke no little argument by readers in the business world. "W. L." contends that "A moderate surplus maybe allowed as a wise provision toHpeet some unusual percentage of loss without impar ment of Capital, but the only other good excuse for a surplus is that in some States the capital only ifc taxed, and in the form of a surplus addition capital is secured free from taxation*"

The bi-centenary of Benjamin Franklin's death is celebrated by a protrait of "Poor Richard"

on the cover of the magazine and by a paper on "Franklin's Trials as a Benefactor," by Emma Repplier. This makes us realize, at least a little, the difficulties endured by this great philanthropist. Wimer Bedford concludes his "Memories of Some Generals of the Civil War" by interesting recollections of General McPherson, Howard, 1 Dennis and others.

The verse of the month is attuned to the spirit of "a sunbeam iii a winter's day" and the "Walnuts and Wine" department makes its bow to its many friends, and a Happy New Year!

training of children is the mo last ing on their memories and that mothers make that indelible impression If this be true, and I believe it is, great care should be taken in the training of the daughters as instructors and domestics.

Upon them depends a g^at deal of the future welfare of the republic.

For the muscular development of children, they should be taught to work with as much precision as they are required to use in solving the most intricate problem in mathematics. Work is not only essential toward muscular developement, but to health, wealth and happiness. We are taught by the divine law "To earn our bread by the sweat of ©ur brow," to be self-reliant, and we are glad of it, for this brings work out of disgrace and places the toiling woman at the head of virtue's procession. It is no disgrace to work, but it is sinful to be indolent in any avocation. It is no disgrace to be poor, but it is miserable to be mean..

Sisters, all cannot be musicians or school teachers, but there is a place in domestic life where we can be useful and respected, if we keep three points in view: truth, virtue and industry. Let us be content with our lot and never shrink from duty. Our calling is a responsible one. To have pleasant homes, there are innumerable duties to perform. "Home is not to be a place of slavery and drudgery, but we should have rest and recreation with innecent amusement, the reading of daily and weekly papers, magazines and good books. Teach submissiveness, never losing sight of the first great law, order, peace and tranquility.

KEEP YOUR PROMISE.

The boy who makes promises an# fails to keep them cannot expect to stand very high in the estimation of his associates. If you are unreliable in what you say people with whom you come in contact will not trust you with anything. They haveno use for a boy they cannot put dependence in. If you promise a person to do a thing, do it it it is possible, and if you find out that you cannot do as you promise go to him like a man and tell him you cannot do it. Don't have him depending on you when you know you cannot do as you have promised. If you do this he will lose confidence in you and will never tru6t you again. You cannot afford to have people distrust you, for if they do you cannot expect much in this life. To have others place their confidence in yoii is worth more than anything else. You can win their confidence if you will only keep the promises you make.
