SOMEWHAT ROMANTIC,

A recent number of Portland (Ore
gon) paper tells pleasant little story to
the following effect A young lady
we'll known III that city has just started
to join her parents whom she has no
recollection of ever having seen. Her
name is Emma Frankie, and her par
ents live in Florence, Italy. At the
age of between three and four she was
given to family named Stokes, who
promised to educate her and otherwise
provide for her. 1t seems that she was
trained for circus performances, and
travelled with circus troups until she
was eighteen years old, when she aban
doned the business, made her home in
Portland, and having learned to set type
supported herself by that work during
the past four years, taking good care Of
herself, and winning many friends
Meanwhile she had caused inquiries
for her parents to he made in Florence,
these only recently proving successful,
the parents having also been for some
years advertising for their lost daugh>
ter from Florence with which to defray
her expenses home, and by this time
she has probably been reunited to those
who long ago parted from her, hoping
it would prove TO her advantage,

SCHOOL BOY HERoIsM.

Two boys were in a school-room
alone together: when some fireworks,
contrary to the masters prohibition,
exploded The one boy denied the
other, Bonnie Christie, would neither
admit nor deny it, and was severely
logged for his obstinacy. When the
boys got alone again, "Why didn't you
deny it :" asked the delinquent.
because there were only we two,
and one of us must have lied" said
Bonnie.
t'Theu why did you not say that l
did it?"
because you said you didn't, and l
would share the lie."
The boys heart melted Bonnie's
moral gallantry subdued him.
When the school resumed, the voting
rogue marched up to the masters desk,
and said:
"Please, sir, / can't bear to be liar
Il let off the squibs, and burst into
tears.
The masters eyes glistened on the
self'accuser, and the unmerited punish
ment he had inflicted on his schoolnate
smote his conscience. Before the whole
school, handsin~hand with the culprit,
as if they two were paired III. the con-
fusion, the master walked down to
where young Christie sat, and said
aloud:
Bonnie! Bonnie! lad, be and |
beg your pardon-we are both to
blame"
The school was hushed and still, as
older scholars are apt to be when somea
thing true and noble is being done
so still, they might have heard Bon
MES big boy-tears drop proudly on
his book, as he sat enjoying the moral
triumph which subdued himself as
well as filed all the rest, and then, for
want of something else to say, he gently
cried:
master forever!"
The glorious shout of the scholars
filed the old mans eyes with some
thing behind his spectacles. which
made him wipe them before he resumed
the chair.

LIFE.

Live for something! Yes, and for
something worthy of life and its capa,
bilities and opportunities for..noble deeds
and achievements. Every man and ey-
cry woman has his or her assignment
in the duties and responsibilities of dali
ly life. We are in the world to make
the world better; to lift it up to higher
levels of enjoyment and progress, to
make its hearts and homes brighter and
happier by devoting to our fellows otr
best thoughts, activities and influences
1t IS the motto of every noble life, that
''no man liveth to himself - lives chief.
ly for his own selfish good. 1t is law
of our intellectual and moral being that
we promote our own happiness in the
exact proportion we contribute to the
comfort and enjoyment of others. Moth
ing worthy of name of happiness is
possible in the experience of those who
live only for themselves, all Obvious Of
the welfare Of their fellows.

MRS. JONES' ELOpEMENT.

Mr. Jones came home that afternoon
feeling cross and tired. Business had
been dull, ard the clerks had been pro-
voking. Wher he felt out of sorts, as
he did that day, nice supper and his
wife's company were the best antidotes
he knew of, and he hoped to have
them effect a cure in this instance, as
they often had in other instances.
But Mrs Jones was out, the girl
said. She had been busy in her room
all the afternoon; she didn't know
what she was doing. About an hour
ago she had put on her bonnet and
gone out, and had charged her to- tell
her husband, when he came home, that
she should not be back until late in the
evening "Gone out on particular
business, she said,' added Bridget.
'On particular business" growled
Jones. I'D like to know what par
ticular business, she has. / should say
it was wife's business to stay at home.
She knew, of course, that was coming
home completely tired out, but that
doesn't interfere with her pleasure in
the least. She can enjoy herself just
the same probably all the more, be-
cause am out of the way I wish 1
knew where she'd gone.
He went up to her room to see
if she had worn some of her best
clothes.
because, if she has," reasoned Mr.
Jones, ''she's gone off to have good
time, with some one she cares more for
than she does for me"
Mr.. Jones brow was black as any
thunder cloud, at the thought. He was
in precisely the right frame of mind to
make mountains out of mole hills.
But she hadn't worn any Of her new
dresses.
SIT can't be she's going to a party,
then" concluded Mr.. jones, cor she'd
have rugged up more. 1t must be she
going somewhere else, and wants to
keep dark. 1t begins to look myster-
ious. A woman don't generally go off
in this way, without saying something
to her husband, and wear her old
clothes, without its meaning some
thing, I've Observed said Mr. Jones.
Solemnly, to the Mr.. Jones in the
glass. ard like to know what 1t all
does mean, anyhow"
1t was just at this juncture that Mr..
Jones discovered letter on Mrs. Jones
writing-desk. 1t was freshly written

LEASING CHICKENS.

We copy the following from an un
known source. The suggestions seem
to be good ones, when applied with
Judgment.
The raising of brood of chickens
seem at first glance to be an easy mat
ter, and so it is if you know how.
From this time until harvest, or later
on every farm, large or small, in all
south eastern Pennsylvania, will be
seen chicken coops scattered about, i'll
orchards, lanes, roadsides and yards
and focks, larger or smaller, as the
case may be-, of young chicks, running
and foraging III all directions.
Many farmers colonize theil focEs in
lanes and in the edges of fields,
and by the side of woods at some
distance from the buildings. They do
this for two reasons: first, to escape the
gapes in the young broods; and second
ly, to prevent over crowding.
On premises infested with the cape
worm, (Sclerostoma Syagonsus) this
proves the most difficult trouble to
OFGI SOiDS III UlIe DuSlflSSS NlOlc CulChH
die from this disease than from all
others combined The disease consists
of parasitic worms lodged in the ira
chea or windpipe.
Some persons cure the gapes by
mixing a little kerosene in the feed. In
this case it is the odor that effects thu
cure. The kerosene cannot come i'll
contact with the worms except in Il
yotalized condition in the act of respira
ton. Some use as remedy morsel Of
ca'nphcr, the size Of a small wheat
grain, given daily in pill, and put Il
small quantity If camphor into the
drinking water. Some put shavings i'll
box and satprate them with spirits OF
turpentine, and then conine the chicks
in the box for short time. In this
case the remedy acts on the worms by
the respiratory act, and is SAID to an
swer well. We have never tried it,
but Judging from the known therapeu
tic effect Of the article we do not doubt
its efficacy 1t might possibly iniure
the chick too long exposed to the
fumes, whereas carbolic acid is perfect
ly harmless Many people cure the
chick by removing the worms by
means of a horse>hair or some simila:
instrument This method is effectual
in the hands OF an expert, but not very
successful in other hands.
70 prevent gapes, then, have clean,
dry, warm coops. DO not let the chick
ems out in the morning before the dew
is off Guard the broods carefully
against cold rainy weather. Mix few
| drops of kerosene in their morning S
feed Use carbolic acid as above
recommended A cheap acid in solu~
ton is as good as the pure orystallized
article Set the coops on the ground
not before used by broods, if it can be
done. Chicks should be literally fed
until the foraging season for insects
sets IN. They should be fed very early
in the morning. as they are always
hungry and restless until fed. Keep
their coops clean. Give pure, clear
water three times day,in clean vessels
shaded from the sun.-American Far
