EEP a hobby and ride it with enthusiasm. It
will keep you out of mischief, to say the least; it
will keep you cheerful. Here as in all things you can
apply the Ad Majmcm Dei Glmiam.

om is the place where a man should appear at his
best. He who is bearish at home and polite only
abroad is no true gentleman ; indeed, he who can not be
considerate to those of his own household will never be
really courteous to strangers. There is no better training
for healthy and pleasant intercourse with the outer
world than a bright and cheerful demeanor at home.
It is in a man's home that his real character is seen;
as he appears there, so he is really elsewhere, however
skilfully he may for the time conceal hi true
nature.

T WOULD do much to romote happiness in the home
if all the members ofthe family were to be as kind
and courteous to one another as they are to guests. The
visitor receives bright smiles, pleasant words, constant
attention, and the fruits of efforts to please. But the
home folks are often cross, rude, selfish, and faultfinding
toward one another. Are not our own as worthy
of our love and care as is the stranger temporarily within
our gates?
