rocking-chai and watched them. She
seemed thoughtful, and was very
quiet. When hor father went out to
dinner she lay OH the lounge, and they
supposed she was sleepy, and paid 10
attention to her.
As soon as the way was clear, she
rose and took bit of broken mirror
and leaned it Oh the stand, where her
father left all his things. She barred
her arm, and pinched it to see if it
hurt. 1t did hurt. Then she thought
the arm was the tenderest place on the
whole body. Sho barred her leg and
give it pinch and found that it hurt,
too She tried herself in different
places, but no place quiet satisfied
her. At last she looked in the
piece Of glass, and bethought herself
of the end of her nose. She took up
the needle her father had used, and
gave herself pick on the nose and
found that it did not hurt so very
badly. She dipped the point of the
needle several times in the liquid virus,
and vaccinatcd herself very prettily on
the end of the pretticst little nosey in
the doctors family. She said nothing
about it. In few days folks began to
say, w , 30,
"You're getting a rum blossom on
your nose, Caddy!" "Why, Cad
johnson! what a nose!" Her mother
said, "Poor Caddy she's so unfortu-
nate always stubbing her toes, or cut
ting her fingers, or getting bumped;
and now she's gone and got brulse or
something on the tip of her precious
nosey!"
Cad said nothing, but she grew
crosser and crosser, and her head
u he'd, and her nose grew swollen and
purple, and her eyes blinky and blood
shot; and the good, cool, creamy milk
with bread broken in it, didn't taste
good any more.
One night she fretted and tossed all
the long hours, and the next morning
her nose looked like big ripe purple
plum. The doctor said there was every
appearance of malignant erysipelas !;
but If it was on her arm he'd call it u
splendid case of vaccination.
"What made it get sore, dear - said
her mother; chow did it get hurt 2"
"Oh, 'spect it's my baxinate!" said
she. putting up her lip and beginning
pitiful cry.
So the story was out. Cad told all
about it. Poor Caddy! they laughed
at her in sly way, but they did not let
her even see them smile. In spite of
all they could do she would pick at
the sore place. They wanted her to
let it alone, so it could get we'll and
not leave a scar; but she would pick
it. She said it was her own baxinate,
that she made it herself.
When it healed, q white scar was left
on the end of her dear little pug nose !;
but her father says she is growing
young child, and there will not be any
OF it left to disfeure her brave, bright
face when she will have arrived at wo-
manhood.

of Saint Patrick. His father, as he
himself tells us, was Calpurnius, a dea.

presbytes, an office held in high esteem
in those day. But, beside being a
deacon, his father was also ''De
curio." For in his letter to Coroticus,
Patrick says, II was of family re.

father having been a Decurio. I gave
up my nobility for the good of others,
that l might be a missionary" The

centuries than she afterward became,
still she had perverted many doctrines

left Britain; and if we found these
peculiar errors among tho early Chris.

clude they had been taught by the

The Sotato Disease In Great Britain.
A very interesting article upon the
recent out5urst Of thu potato disease in
Great Britain has been communicated BY
Mr.. c. L. Smith to the October number of
Hasdwinke's Science Gossip. In this the
author refers to tho fact that it was not
until la4l that the disease was brought
prominently into notice, although as far
!; back rs 1880 disease Of the potato was
. known in Germany under the name of the
dry rot In its more recent manifestations
it appears to have been observed in Cana.

it, memorable outburst in Western Europe

The true cause of tho evil is now we'll

ton Of the tissues of tho plants, caused
by fungus known as Peron0sp0ra infcs.
tans. This never develops itself on the
upper surface of the leaf (which appears
to be quite impervious to its attaoks|, and
eeldom originates in tho stems; but the
mycelial threads pass down from. the
leaves and soon reach the tuber. The
stem and leaves then rapidly rot and fall
OFT upon the earth, in . offensive mass.
So rapid, iadeed,is the growth Of tho fun
gus that in few days it will spread from
plant to plant over large tract, giving
the field the appearance Of having been
attacked by the frost. The prime cause
OF the death Of the leaf is probably to be
found in the choking ct its breathing
pores, resembling in q measure tho action
Of Group in the human subject. The
emission Of perspirstion or moisture from
the leaf ia thus prevented, and the plant
becomes surcharged with moisture, which
rapidly rats the stems and leaves, the
