Water Boilers Upon Stoves.

A brass or copper vessel timed upon
the inside, and holding several gallons,
is usually found connected with cooking
stoves used in families. AS this vessel
is kept full of hot water, which is used
for ordinary culinary purposes, it is i'm
portant that no deleterious agent con-
nected with the metal should be en-
ployed in its construction. A recent
analysis has been made of specimen
of timed brass plate used for making
these boilers, and it was found that the
tin contained 26 per cent. of lead. How
far this may serve to cause injury it is
impossible to say. 1t is certain, how
ever, that lead is an Objectionable metal
to be brought in contact with culinary
utensils, and hence its use must be con-
demned. An iron boiler lined with
porcelain would be much safer, and per-
haps not more costly. We understand
such vessel is constructed, and if so,
it would certainly be much safer one
to employ as o reservoir of hot water
for constant household use.

not one had seen little Pinky. Then one
and all tore out their hair in handfuls
and put dust on their heads and wept,
and afterward Lord Sweetbriar mount
ed his snow-white steed, and with many
other noblemen searched for Pinky on
every road that led from the castle. All
night long they searched, and when
morning came they all met again at the
castle, hoping that she might have been
found.
When they knew that their search had
been i'll vain, they all fell on their knees
in the chapel of the castle and prayed to
God to save little Pinky. Theyremained
for several hours thus, and 10 ! as they
prayed little bird flew in one of the
chapel windows and alighted on Lord
Sweetbriar's shoulder, piece of swans
down in his mouth.
Then Lady Sweetbriar clasped her
hands in Joy and cried, cts piece of
Pinky's hood % They lost no time in
setting out again, and the little bird led
the way. flying before them. On they
went through the forest, Lady Sweet
briar and Lord Sweetbriar, and all the
noblemen on horseback, and the maids
and men servants following on foot. At
last they came to the spot where Pinky
sat in the tree singing gaily, little birds
all around her singing gaily too. They
gazed at the sight, amazed, then cried
with JOY, "Pinky is found % Lord
Sweetbriar climbed the tree and brought
down his daughter, who clapped her
hands in Joy, and then he placed her in
front of him on his horse, and they all
set out for the castle singing ioyfully.
But first they broke three loaves of bread
into crumbs for the birds that had fed
the little girl.
That day Pinky gave away to the poor
with her own hands three hundred
loaves of bread, and Lady Sweetbriar
gave away three hundred baskets of
apples, and Lord Sweetbriar gave
away three hundred pigs TO roast.
And this they did every year after
as long as they lived, in gratitude to
God.
Pinky also built a great number of
little houses on the castle walls for the
little birds to live in that they might
not fresZe in wintry weather, and all the
birds that had fed Pinky made their
nests in them and brought up large fam
lilies, and the grateful little brides sang
to Pinky the whole year round, so that
the castle won the name of the Sing
ing Castle"
When Pinky grew up to be lady she
married a young nobleman named Lord
Honeysuckle, and they lived happily
in Singing Castle all the days of their
life.

Little GeOrgie's Story.

My Aunt Libby patted me on the
head the other day, and said, George.
my boy, this is the happiest part of
your life" But then Aunt Libby don't
know much. l guess she never worked
week to make a kite, and the first time
she went to fly it, got the tail hitched
in tall tree, whose owner wouldn't let
her climb up to disentangle it. guess
she never broke one of the runners of
her sled some Saturday afternoon when
it was "prime" coasting. | guess she
never had to give her biggest marbles
to great lubberly boy, because he
would thrash her if she didn't. guess
she never had "hockey stick" play
round her ankles in recess, because she
got above a fellow in the class. 1 guess
she never had to give her humming-top
to quiet the baby, and had all the
paint sucked off. L guess she never
saved up all her coppers whole winter
to buy trumpet, and then was told she
must not blow it, because it would make
a noise.
No-I guess my Aunt Libby don't
know much little boys have troubles
as well as grown people-all the diff
ference is they daren't complain. Now,
L never had "bran new" jacket and
trousers in my life-never-and / don't
believe 1 ever shall for my two broth
ers have shot up like Jacks bean-stalk,
and left all their out-grown clothes to
be made over for George :" and that
cross old tailoress keeps me from bat
and ball an hour on the stretch, while
she laps over, and nips in, and tucks
up, and cuts off their great baggy
clothes for me. And when she puts ne
bye, little Tom Thumb" Then when
go to my uncle's to dine, he always puts
the big dictionary in the chair, to hoist
me up high enough to reach my knife
and fork and if there is dwarf apple
or potatoes on the table, it is always
laid on my plate. If l go to the play
ground to have game of ball, the fell
lows all say-Get out of the way, little
chap, or we shall knock YOU into q
cooked hat. L don't think I've grown a
bit these two years. ] know / haven't,
by the mark on the wall--(and | stand
up to measure every chance / get. }
When visitors come to the house and
ask me my age, and tell them l am
nine years old, they say, "Tut, tut !
little boys shouldn't tell fbs." My
brother Hal has got his first long-tail
coat already. / am afraid L never shall
have anything but a jacket. Igo to bed
early, and have left off eating candy and
sweetmeats. l haven't put my fingers
in the sugar-bowl this many day. I
eat meat like my father, and 1 stretch
up my neck till it aches-still I'm "W-
tie George" and nothing shorter - or
rather, I'm shorter than nothing. Oh,
my Aunt Libby don't know much. How
should she? She never was boy =

A YOUNG married friend tells a good
joke on himself, perpetrated by little
3-year-old pride OF the family" She is
the only pledge of love that has twined
itself around the hearts and affections
Of himself and wife. A few evenings
since minister visited the family and
remained until after tea. At the table
the reverend visitor asked the blessing.
and the little one opened her eyes to the
fullest capacity in startled wonderment.
She could not understand what had
been done, and it was with great per-
suasion that her mother could keep her
quiet during the time they were at the
table. When they had left it she
walked up to the minister, for whom she
had formed great friendship. and said:
" What did you say at the table before
we commenced eating?' "My little
darling, thanked God for His good
ness In giving us to eat, so that we
might grow and be strong" Papa
don't say that" "What does yonr
papa sayP" Papa says Godlemighty,
