st,ouId soon have plenty in my own" His
answer may serve as a hint TO fathers ana
mothers. 1t is of importance TO them how
their neighbor's children turn out. Heart
weeds care less than thistles for boun dairy
fence. Bows and girls who go to the same
school or who live in the same ne lghbor-
hood, catch many trait from eac other.
1t is our duty, as well as our interest, to do
what we car for the benefit Of our neighbors
c lildren.
The west is noted for it's admiration of
the fair sex. An Iowa justice of the peace
refused last week to fine a man arraigned
before him for kissing y irl against her will.

is so temptingly pretty that nothing but an
overwhelming sense of dignity, and the re-
sponsibility of its FJath, has prevented the
court from kissing her itself"
A darkey was once attempting to steal a
goose, but dog raised an objection, and
Sambo retired. The next night during a
thunder shower he attempted it again, and
just as he was on the point of getting away
with the fowl, the lightning struck close by,
! and the noise nearly frightened the poor fell
low to death. Dropping the goose, he
started away, muttering, Peers TO me der
am a mighty lot of fuss made bout COM

An extremely sharp and intelligent Amer
lean gentleman from the west, once walked
into the Office of DR.. C. T. Jackson, the
chemist. "Dr Jackson, presumed" said
he. Eyes, sir" "Are you alone?" Eyes,
SIR" "May lock the door" And he did

room. he placed a large bundle, done up In q
yellow handkerchief, on the table, and
opened it. "There, doctor, look at thatp'

do you call that, doctor?" 81 call it iron
pyrites" WHAT" said the man, " isn't
that stuff gold?" "No." said the doctor
I" it's good for nothing-it's pyrites." And
putting some over the fire in shovel, it soor
evaporated up the chimney. "WeI, sale
the gehtlemanly man, with a woe-begont
look, there's widow up in our town has
a whole hill full of that, and I've been ano
married her,"
Prof J. Lawrence Smith, of Louisville, i;
said to have been the first person to bring
the subject of cremation before the American
people. lie delivered lecture in New
Orleans twenty years ago, in which he ia
vored cremation, and described plan 70
furnaces in which to burn the dead. Mr.
Ellis II. Schuable, however, is the presen
head-center of the innovation, judging from
a recent speech in New York city. in which
he deplored the annual waste of millions @
bodies which ought to fructify the earth

ceptance which this idea finds and it is
good proof of the peculiarly receptive condl
ton of the progressive American mind.
