KEEPING NJ aALs WAITING.-Little things often
interfere with our comfort very much, and one
small annoyance is for men to delay coming to
dinner when called. Sometimes they have an
hour or more of work which they will do before
quitting, and then they go to the house, to find
the dinner cold and the cook discouraged
Nothing is more disheartening to tired wo-
man than table full of dirty dishes ornamen-
ting the table an hour and half later in the
day than usual. Punetuality is virtue that

Mg-Two very remarkable incidents happened
recently in the village of Farmhouse, opposite
New Bedford, Mass Two aged sisters, who in
habited houses at opposite corners, died at the
same time. Each matron was the head of a
large family, each funeral was appointed at the
same hour The hearse containing the body OF
the eldest sister passed on first to the cemetery,
when the family of the other sister fell into the
line of mourners with their burden. A few
days later two young ladies living in the same
neighborhood died, who were engaged to be
married to two cousins. Their wedding dress
es were their shrouds.

Mg~An erring husband, who had exhausted
all explanations for late hours, and had no
apology ready. recently slipped into the house
about one o'clock very softly, denuied himself
gently, and began rocking the cradle by the

Do HORSES REASON 20. W. Fiske in Our
Dumb ANIMALS says: For many years I have
made the horse subject Of thought and study.
At times | have been led to belive that horses
have reasoning powers, and can understand and
apply them in various ways.
For the last two years have driven my mare
nearly every day over the same road. About one
mile from my home are two roads, one leading 10
the church, the other to the depot. Now six
days in the week drive to the cars and on Sun
day TO the church. At the point where these
roads separate, give my mare her head, leaving
her free TO make her choice, and on week days
she will go straight to the depot, and on Sundays
she goes Of her own free will, to the church
never knew her TO fail me yet. Itpuzzled me for
long time to learn how she should know any
difference in days. and have come to the con-
clusion that she reasons from facts-facts con-
| nected with everyday life.

A SUBTERRANEAN FIRE BENEATH PITTsBURG.
| Mediterranean fire is raging in the portion
of Pttsburg known as Herron's Hill, which
| threatens serious consequences to about five
| hundred acres of improved property. In dig
gng out for Thirty third street against the
bank some three or four months ago, the work
| men discovered strata of the coal which is so
plenty in that city. In order to warm cot1e for
their lunches they discovered this to be just
the place, and accordingly lit fires at the mouth
Gradually this slight blaze has developed it's
| self till now it is perfect volcano, whose ON
inous roaring can easily be heard by persons
travelling over the surface. No efforts have
been made to extinguish this blaze, and now it
is spreading fearfully fast, ndangering life
and property. Herron's Hill is the highest
| point in Allegheny county; and on its sum-
| nit is located one of the water reservoirs,
which has been but lately erected. Water was
recently put in it, but it leaked out. Lately,
however,, it was found that this water did not
pass out altogether from leaks, but that por
ton has evaporated in steam, caused by the
immense fire raging below. There is danger of
this work caving in, and, should it go, the
| flames will receive additional draught, and will
thus be the barber to subdue, and have ten
dency of spreading the fire still further. The
ultimate result of this subteranean fire can
hardly be told at present. Millions Of improv-
| cd property lie on the hill and in close prex-
unity to these burning mines, and, should any
settling of earth occur at any point, the result
would be most DISASTROUS. Efforts will be made
to conquer the flames by sapring and mining,
but it will take months and perhaps years, to
! extingush this mass of burning coal, much of
which is burning hundreds of feet below the
surface

duce you to do without it ?"
ooh, don't care much about it," said Jona-
than, ''you may give me what you please"
"well," said the farmer, 81 will give you
sheep in the autumn, if you will do without"
"Agreed" said Jonathan.
The oldest son said
"Father, will you give me sheep, too, if l
will do without rum?"
eyes Marshall, you shall have sheep if you
will do without"
The younger son, STRIPPING, then said:
"Fsther, will you give me a sheep if / will

if youwill do without"
Presently Chandler spoke again.

THIYGs THAT WIVES SHOULD REMEMBER.-lti is
the penny saved more than the penny earned
that enriches it is the sheet turned when the
first thread breaks that wears the longest it is
the damper closed when the cooking is done
that stops the dollars from dropping into the
coal bin it is the lamp or gas turned low when
not in use that gives pin money for the mouth;
it is the care of making the coffee that makes
three spoonfuls 60 as far as a teacupful ordina-
rily; it is the walking of one or six blocks, in
stead of taking a car or omnibus, that adds
strength to your body and money to your purse;
it is the careful mending of each weeks wash
that gives ease to your conscience and length
Of days to your garments; and last OF all it is
the constant care exercised over every part of
YOUR household, ard constant endeavor to i'm
prove and apply your best powers toyour work
that alone gives peace and prosperity to the
