MAKING OTHERS HAPPY.

A mother who was in the habit of ask
ing her children, before they went to
bed, what they had done that day to
make others happy, found her twin
daughters silent. The question was re-
peated ~ @
81 can think of nothing good for this
day, mamma, only one of my mates was
happy because she left of head of the
class and 1 smiled on her and ran and
kissed her, so she said 1 was good.
That's ALL"
The other spoke even more tiInidly.
"The little girl that sits by me has
lost brother. Iseen her hide her face
in her book and cry. 1 felt sorry and
laid my head by her'sand cried too. She
looked up and put her arms about me
and seemed comforted, but 1 don't know
why did her any good" lilT lE
''Come, my dArlings, into my arms,
said the mother; "to rejoice with thost
that repoiee, and weep with those tina
weep, is to obey our blessed Redeemerl'

about the power Of a well-known plant:

GOLORlNa F0R NEARING F1i
&E RIGS.

The fact that number of cases have
occurred in which colored woolen gar
ments, worn next the skin, have pro-
duced a peculiar kind of poisoning, has
been much discussed by the German
press. Itappears that violet gray wool
eN stockings, after having been worn
less than six hours caused redness of the
skin and permanent puetules, in connec-
ton with feverish symptoms and consti-
patton. The same results followed
after the stockings had been treated
with boiling water. Similar symptoms
were produced by gray woolen shirts
next the skin, and by the red binding
of others. The opinion of DIR. Hagar,
of Berlin, is that the analine colors are,
as q rule, poisonous in their action upon
the skin, as, he asserts, has also been
established in regard to coraline. He
recommends, therefore, that woolen gar
ments colored with analine dyes should
not be worn next the skin, and suggests,
as test, that portion of the wool be
heated to boiling in sest tube, with 80
per cent. of alcohol, and if the latter ac-
quires a red, violet, or violet blue tint,
the coloring matter is suspicious.

ANINDIAN LRGRNB

The following is told of a beautiful
sbeet-of water known a tbo Spirit Lake,
in Central Wisconsin: Many years ago,
ere the foot of the pale face had trod the
soil which the red man claimed as his
own, many tribes dwelt near this like,
for in this lake we're Ash, and among the
bluff sand in the neighboring forest were
game; and the warrior, when tired of
the chase, could seek pleasure and find
it, bathing in the clear, bright waters,
which he only, under the Great Spirit,
claimed, and with his light canoe could
take his love out boating, Indeed, it
seemed to the happy red man paradise,
as well it might.
As fortune would have it, French
man, more daring than his fellows, wan
dered from the settlements and found
the lake; he indulged with the Indians
in the pleasure and disappointment of
the chase, and fingered long among
them. When first he came among the
red men, he was charmed by the beauty
and loveliness of an Indian maiden, and
made love t. her.
She loved in return, and when the au-
tumn leaves began to fall and the feath-
cred songster to fly away to a southern
home, the French hunter sought an in
terview with the aged chief, her father,
to ask his consent to the hoped-for mar
riage.
But at the same time young warrior,
who had looked with jealous eyes upon
the Frenchman, and had often in vain
sought to win the affections of the fair
maiden of his tribe, came to the old chief
and asked for his daughters hand. The
chieftair, disdaining partiality to the
warrior ON account of the fact that he
was one of his tribe, stepped to the bank
of the lake with the two suitors, and
pointing to high and rugged looking
tree upon the opposite shore he said:
ne VI JOu WIZ butu AAbb DIAhB huC
an eaglet from the nest in yonder tree,
shall be the successful suitor."
When the old chieftain ceased speak
ing, the hunter and the warrior sprang
into their light canoes, and were across
the lake in a trice. The warrior struck
the shore first, but the hunter was the
first to climb the crags and tree, and was
descending with the eaglet, when the
faithless warrior pushed him from a
limb on which he stood, and the hunter
was dashed in pieces on the ragged rocks
below.
The Indian maiden, who had watched
with painful interest the different trans
actions preceding, when she saw her
lover fall, leaped far out into theslake
with wild, piteous cry, and sank into
the clear waters, never to rise again.
The supersticious red men fancy that
the spirit of the departed maiden rules
the storms, and that it would be death
for an Indian to risk himself upon the
waters of the lake. ss

Mr.. Baker again; ''you all owe each

"You are deceived, my dear, by the

replied Mrs. Baker.
"If it is all nonsense, how could the
note which you gave, Mrs. Baker, if
nothing to me or you, be divided be-
tween us two2" asked Grace.
Mr. Baker did not seem to see it very
clearly, but the others did. and they
often relate this little history for the
amusement Of their friends.

A FEMALE FIEND.

The woman whose nature is so nearly
fendish as it is possible to conceive of
lives at Bostrop, La. Her name is
Luna McRea, and she is now in prison
upon the charge OF numbering q small
child. At her preliminary examination
the testimony indicated that she had
taken diabolical pleasure in killing the
child by inches and after the accomplish
ment of the deed to have felt no COM
Functions or any of the ordinary dislike
of murderer to having the body Of the
victim in any place to serve as remind
er. The woman's own son, little boy
of IL, was the principal witness against
her. She made this mere child dig up
and move the body Of her victim two or
three times within the space of a week.
She first buried the murdered child in
a garden, and when its disappearance
had excited comment and caused the in
stitution of search, she attracted the
attention of the officers to another point,
she herself accompanying them, first
telling her little son to dig up the body
in their absence and hide it in the chin
ney. The boy performed this task, and
at night he was made to carry the body
to Gotten pen and subsequently to a
thicket, where it was finally discovered.
During the course of the trial, with her
own son giving such testimony of her
atrocity, the woman evinced little feel
ing of any kind, passing through the or,
deal with an unrufied demeanor.

THENALUE OF BEETs FOR STOCK.

" .
Having planted last year a small piece
of light, loamy land, well manured, with
mangolds-or, as some term them, the
giant beet-I found the yield to be at
the rate Of thirty-6ve tons per acre, The
first of December 1 commenced feeding
them to three COWS, at the rate of one
peck per day each, measured after they
were cut, together with one foddering
of hay per dsy, the remainder of their
fodder being cut straw. continued
this feed for three months, and the cows
at this time were in better condition
than they we're the previous winter, at
the same time in the winter, when they
had been fed wholly on hay; they also
gave more milk. In my opinion beets
are the most profitable root that we can
grow for stock feed. The sugar-beet
have no dodbt iS>Ine'most nutritious, al
though ! think the mangolds. the most
profitable to cultivate, as the yield is
much larger. If our farmers would
grow more roots than they have been in
the habit of raising TO feed their stock
during our long and cold winters their
hay would hold out better, and their
stock, / think, would be in better condi-
ton in flesh and health, A large amount
of straw and coarsl fodder may be fed to
stock Il we have some kind Of roots to
feed with it. Some win probably say
that it takes too much manure to grow
these roots. Try small piece Of light,
Iloamy land with them, and in my opin-
ion you VIII not think that you have
wasted your manure Correspondence

BABY EARNEST.

All in a bed Of roses
The little babe reposes;
Their crimson-hearted FIRE
To warmth in him inspire;
Their Persian odors, creeping
Round baby sleeping-sleepings
No avenue discover
To him, their little lover.
Nurse need not frame story,
For baby's bedtime glory,
OF elf, and sprite, and fairy,
That dwell in Aower-cups airy;
Deaf are the ears of baby,
Except to serephs, maybe;
And elves may stay unbidden
All in the roses hidden.
Close the piano lightly,
Turn down the lamp less brightly.
For mamma, crushed, bereaven,
Need play no more at even,
To see his blue eyes glisten,
bis dawning mind Just waking,
And then the world forsaking.
White shall make no intrusion,
Roses in red profusion
We chose for baby's bower
Himself the fairest flower
All palid beauty keeping
For others couch of sleeping;
Roses, red-lipped and sweetest,
Are fittest and completest.
Fast locked the baby's senses
But life divine commencesl
And could our tear-blurred vision
But pierce to land Elysian,
And see the small head golden,
To Jesus breast close holden,
Ali we should murmur never,
Forever sndforever.
