Fortunately, there are many chaste and beautifully-written books and pamphlets that will partially stone for the luck of your personal, loving instruction. And us many on overburdened mother finds little time to look into those things, and does not know what book to get or where to obtain it, I Will mention some that I consider most ex~ ccllent. I “ Tokolog ,” by Mrs. Dr. Stockmsn ; “True Mm. ood,’ sud “‘ For Girls,” by Shepard. Then there are two valuable leaf- lets for boys and girls : “ A Fathers! Advice to his Son,” sud “ An Old Womcus‘ Letter to Young Women.” Don’t place these books in the hands of your children until you have studiously read them yourselves ; you will doubtless find much in them that is new and that will bet- ter fit you for your duties ; but if not new or of special practical value, bear in mind that intelligence is always desirable. Then, too, it may be that you can talk over the book with your son or daughter. To the mothers of the “ wee ones ” feeling the importance of these questions, but dread- ing them, let me first of all beg of you to keep close to your little ones’ hearts, be sympathetic with them in all their trikls and sorrows. invite their confidence by giving yours. They feel “very important”, when in psrtnership with momma. in a. “secret.” By wise means find out the trend of their thoughts, what their little playmates say to them, and what is thcuoture of their “- lays’ when together. All these things wi I help you to speak a word instant in season. To still better prepare you for this most delicate and important task, read the tracts ondlenf- lots for " Mothers’ Mcetiugs,”published by the Women’s Temperance Publication As- sociation, 161.141.33.110 St., Chico o. I never found 'ust the help t at seems needed, until I curd Mrs. C. T. Cole, :1 W. C. T. U. lecturer, on social purity. In a mother’s meeting that she conducted she told us just what to any to the child’s first questionings concerning his existence ; also to his second, concerning the relations of the sexes. Such chaste, ennobling answers as she found in. animal life and in the lovely flowers, I shall never forget, though I cannot reproduce them. I have never read anything just like it, soifyou ever have the opportun- ity, don’t foil to hear this woman. - « I well recall thc,Ssbbath I heard her, one of pouring ruin and deep mud. But. as it was Only 'u few days later that my little daughter came to me with these same deli- cate moral life questions, I felt repaid :1 hundred-fold for the effort. , I wish you might have seen the child as I‘ repented this beautiful allegory, then so fresh in my mind. Her face fairly glowod with a. holy light and lier little soul was baptized into a. new life. I am sure that hour will be among the most cherished of my life, and of imperishable memory and good to my child. AUNT CEAT'I‘Y. Fruit Gunning.

Not only is the ‘contour of the form perfect,- as in life, but even the“ "color has remained unchanged. The forms and shoulders are as white as marble, the hands are brown and one of them _ still bears the stains of the berries with which she was working theufternoon of her disappearance. The body was found in an old pit whence are had been at' one time re- moved; but time coated the surface of'thc l water over withn growth of grass that year after year became more firm until the body was entirely buried beneath. \Vhen the body was first found it was believed to have been that of‘onc who had recently died, but when struck it emitted a metallic ring and then it was known that the body was petri- l fied. . After a. time the aged father of Mary Ann identified thevrcmuins us those of his daughter, and her two brothers, also, con- firmed the identit .
