Out in the lark of the snow-covercd street
wearily patter the poor little feet;
Eyes sleepy, form 'ired-hc's worked all the day,
For poor Ito Robbie has no time TO play.
Gladly he'd HE 90 his snug little bed
But the children at home would DC crying for
bread;
And Robbie must sell all his papers tonight,
Or tho'children will be in sorrowful plight.
Poor Robbies no father to work for him now;
And thai is why Robbie is out in the snow
And his dear mother sighs as she snys with tear,
"What IA pitieul night would that Robbie were
here"
Then she throws down her work, and she opens the
door.
She has opened It certainly five times before;
And she cries, "Ah! he's coming, hear tie gln /
song
That my dear Robbie sings as he trudgcs along"
And Robbie spreads out lis harly-cancl store
o pennies oh . Robbie. wi ii they were more
And he says, "Mothor, dear, think I've done well
Every one of my papers this cold night TO SELL"
Then his mother hcr heart is too full to speak
Kisses POOR little Robbie upon lis cold check;
And thanks the great God, though of much she,
brcft,
That her good little Robbie at least has been left.
Dear child, sitting warm by your fire Tonight,
Willie the snow king is out in his garments OF
white,
Thank the God Of al comfort Of light and of joy
That you are not Robbie, tho little ncwsboy.

A Thrilling A:lVcm Isre.

Garden, closed on Saturday, the
2Oth inst, with Myerbecr's great
masterpiece, "L'Etoilc du Nord. >
Talking with q friend about the
principal featrues of the season, !
had, naturally, much to say about
Madame Pauline Lrcca. After a
time our conversation turned upon
her high qualities in private life
her kind hcartedness, affection
generosity, and courage. For COO
resolution tho following incident, re-
lated to me by my friend, cannot
well be surpassed. Madame Pauline
Lucca usually resided in the Veto
ria Strasse, Berlin. Last spring,
however, she occupied. temporarily
ut some distance outside the city
a gartcnhaus, or country house
consisting Of only spacious, ram
bling basement story, surrounded
by verandah. One night, about
10 o'clock, she was sitting tLeie ii
her bedroom. Her chair was placed
before toilet table, which was
lighted by wax taper on each side
of the glass. The two tapers were
not sufficient to illuminate the room
very brilliantly, and the further end
lay buried III sort of scmi-obscu-
rity. Madame Lucca was reading
some letters concerning some en-
gagemcnts, when suddenly she inn
agiued she heard n noise. She
looked around, but, seeing nothing,
concluded she made a mistake, and
resumed the peiusal of the letters.
She had forgotten all about the
noise when she heard it again
This time, instead of looking
around, she happened, without
moving her head, merely to raise
her eyes to the glass. She beheld
reflected in it the face of n man
pecring cautiously from out a cup
board behind her. A first She fan
cied she was dreaming. She quiet
ly looked again. No, it was nc
dream. There was the man, whom
she recognized as having been for
merly in her service, whence he
had been discharged for genera
bad behavior. She had also sus-
pected him of purloining scvera
objects which she had missed from
time to time, but not being certain
on this point, she had kept her
suspicious to herself. Yes, there he
was there could he no mistake
about the matter. Madame Lucca's
first impulse was to start mp and
give the alarm. But there was not
another habitation within mile or
two, and she rccollccted that the
only person beside herself in the
house was her maid, who, though n
very good girl, and extremely at
tached to her mistress, was by no
means celebrated for her nerve
The other servants, including the
gardener and coachman, had been
granted permission to attend a
friends wedding some miles off, and
were not to return till the next day.
1t flashed across her mind that the
man, who, as she knew had been
lettering about the neighborhood
for two or three days, had learned
that she would be alone, and meant
to rob the house, or perhaps muir
der her, if his project of robbery
could not be executed without the
preparation of the greater crime.
What was TO he done! Again she
glanced towards tho mirror. The
eyes were still there, glaring on her
through the gloom. All at once
she remembered that o revolver be-
longing to her husband, the Baron
Won Rhaden, ought to be lying on

Speak Kindly to Thy Wife.

Husband, speak kindly to tinat wife.
for heavy to bear and hard 20 endure
are the many trials that beses her path.
To your hard and rough aature thew
may appear small, but to- that heart of
finer mould, to that nasuue attuned to
the keenest emotions, they are of giant
size.
Husband, speak kiadly to that we'd
ded wife, to whom before witnesses on
earth and witnesses in heaven, you
swore to love, honor, cherish and pro-
tect so long as life endures. What,
perchanee,. if her lips have spoken
murmuring words, her heart beats with
kindness true and joys to be called
thine own.
Husband, speak kindly to that wife,
and remember what weary hours of
pain it has been her lot to bear and
suffer. Then give her sweet words of
encouragement and what support you
can, and all her sorrows share.
Husband, speak kindly to your wife.
She has mothers heart, and the no.
blest of hearts may at times have some
heavy grief to bear. What if some
pettish word should seek to find vent,
and come to birth upon the lips in
speech condemn her not-tl,at word
relief has given.
Husband, speak kindly to the moth
err of your children, for none are per-
feet here, and thou art dearer far to
her than life. Then husband, father,
still torbear, and never fail to speak
kindly to thy wife.
Speak kindly call in the household,
and rare flowers of love and goodness
will spring up to cheer the eye and
heart, and make home type of heaven.

Natural Rotation of CrOps.

Agriculturists, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly, had long been practi-
cally conversant with the advantages
derlvable from the practice of not
growing the same crop on the same
soil for too long period. The advan-
tages consequent ON this so-called ro-
tation of crops are due to more than
one cause; but it was bureau de la
Male who, in 1925, called attention to
the phenomenon of natural rotation.
From long observation of what takes
place in woods and pasture-land. he
established the fact that an alienation
of growth, as he called it, occurs as a
natural phenomenon. In pasture
lands, for instance. the grass gets the
upperhand at one time, the leguminous
plants at another; SD that, in the
course of thirty years, the author
whose observations we are citing was
witness of five or six such alterations.

Ammonia as a Therapeutic Agent.

A writer in the British Medical
Journal states that in case of whoop-
ing-cough in the last stage-after the
third week-he has had one ounce of
the strongest liquid ammonia put into
a gallon of boiling water in an open
pan, and the steam kept up by means
of half brick made red hot through
out and put into the boiling water con-
tanning the ammonia. the pan being
placed in the center of a room into
which the patients were brought as
the ammoniated steam was passing off.
This method, he says, was used in the
evening, just before bed time; and it
proved so eficacious in abating the
spasmodic attack, and after three or
four days terminating the malady, as to
establish, beyond any doubt, the great
value of this mode of inhaling ammo
MIA as therapeutic agent in tranquil
izing the nervous system in whoOping-
cough.

PEELED to sell out the homestead and
live in a village alone. Your young
men are showing a great aversion to

undignified occupations, such as selling
maps, books, patent rights or even
clothes pins. They are attracted by
genteel ways and habits. At the best
they seek commercial adventures. and
through this means sudden and great
riches. Can they not read their fate
by the wrecks of thousands in the city
ofNew York who attempted the same
thing. For able bodied, strong young
men to quit the farm and engage in
such trifiing pursuits as have been
named, or to attempt, where thousands
fail, in city occupations, they should
be ashamed. Whenever labor in any
country is considered diShonorable.
the doom of that nation is sealed I'm
I'll the idea prevails that laboF is hon

fore us. When we find a country di-
vided into small estates, and each pro-
prietor labors with his own hands, we

fore which the world trembled when
they buckled on their swOrds-the an

WORK There is perennial noble
ness and even sacredness in work.
Were he ever so benighted, forgetfnl
of his high calling, there is always
hope in a man that actually and earn
estly works; in idleness alone there is
perpetual despair. Work, ever so
mammOnish or mean, is in communion
ton with nature the real desire to
get work done will itself lead ono
more TO truth, to natures appoiD t
ments and regulations that are truth.
Consider now, even in the NEE nest
sort of work, the whole soul Of r.lan is
composed into kind of real harmony
the instant he sets himself to work.
Doubt; desire, sorrow, remorse. indig-
nation, despair itself, alb these, like
hell-dogs, lie beleagueriDg the soul of
every man; but if he bends himself
with free valOr against his task. all
these are stilled, all these shrink muir
muring far off into their caves. Bles-
sed is he who has found his work; let
him ask for no other blessedness.

Killing Lice on Cattle.

On a warm pleasant day, take pail
full of warm water and put in as much
carbolic acid as you think will do. 1t
don t require a great deal. Saturate
each animal thoroughly from the end
of the nose to the end of the tail, and
rub it in with horse brush or any
thing that will do, until every inch of
the animal is drenched to the skin !;
put the tail in the pail and soak it
thoroughly, as there, and around the
horns. you will usually find the most
lice. Put each animal in the stable
Immediately, where they cannot lick
themselves until dry This will not
