Mr.. DAVIS MIsFoRrUSE.-Mr. JEFF.
fcrson Davis lost his only son by yellow
fever recently. The young man bore his
fathers name and WAS his chief stay and
comfort. lie was youth of noble char
aci=r sn,; wn:"c-s*:y Hc!ova;;. This
leaves AIr. Davis childless. His little
so:: ".!oo" died in Richmond, during ii,e
war, Of fall from the porch of the pres
ident's house. He was brilliant and
lovable child, and his death caused his
mother aud father the deepest anguish.
Since the war closed Mr.. Davis lost
another son, youth full of promise.
The hand Of God seems heavy upon this
noble hearted man and his devoted wife.
Misfortunes have followed them. Law.
suits have swept away their property
disaster has attended Mr.. Davis busi-
ness enterprises, and the business sue.
cesses of the young man who has Just
died stood between them and poverty.
Those who hitherto have hated Mr.. Davis
most, who have put upon his simplest
words forced constructions and who
singled him out for vicariuus sacrifice.
ought now to feel their malice turned at
last into tender respcctand sympathy.

70 view the generating machine.
"Mr. Edison tas just purchased new

we don't get power enough with the

continued Mr. Grifen, "Sfr. Edison has

MILK .,s VEHICLE FOR Qu1N1NE
R l.. Batterbury, NJ. d., London
Berkhan,stead, Eng, writing to the
British Medical Journal, observes: "It is
not, believe, generally known that milk
is an elegant and convenient solvent fol-
quinine, and that it disguises to great
extent its bitterness. If one grain OF
sulphate of quinine be dissolved in an
ounce Of milk, we shall find that the
bitterness of the draught is ht fdly per.
ceptible; with two grains there is rather
more bitterness, but it is not at all mark.
ed. a dose CT five grains may be taken
in two ounces of milk without an un.
pleasantly bitter taste; and il the same
quantity 30 put into IL iumoierIui oi
milk the bitterness is all but Lost. This
method of administering quinine must
In some cases be preferable to the ordi.
nary way Of dissolying It in acid OF
spirits, especially where the bitter taste
is obiec.ed to-as in the case of children
or where the required dose is large ;
and it will doubtless be found /, possess
other advantages"

HIS CHIEF ANXIETY. Wednesday
evening, boy about eight years old,
who had become bewidered down town.
md whose ear had been nipped by the
frost, had been taken to the Central sta
ton to get thawed out and cheered up.
The men in charge talked to him in a
fatherly way, put linament on mis- ear,
and the boy seemed full of grit. After a
time, the big tears were observed rolling
down his cheeks and the captain said:
why, bub, | wouldn't feel bad. 1t
isn't much of frost-bite."
"But it shows, don't it?" tremblingly
asked the lad.
"Why, yes, a little bit, but wouldn',
cry for that"
"May be you w-wouldn'tl" gasped the
boy, but you h-hai.t engaged to--bc

difference"
They couldn't argue against that, and

A Word to Young Mothers.

Mother, with your little ones around
your Knee, would you keep their sweet
confidence in years to come? Would
you lead them TO the Good Shepberd
and help them in their struggles TO walk
near his side World you know their
thoughts and share their feelings as they
approach manhood and womanhood =?
The work must be begun, the confidence
fostered now. 4 loving mother may in.
jaTo ;ii5 disposition vf i,.l ci,iiir-u, ma,
do them lifelong harm, By thoughtless
absorption in the necessary and iaudable
occupations c' life. Their tears are SO
quickly dried, their troubles so soon for
gotten, that ,"en we DO not realize the
necessity Of carefully regarding their
feelings
Let me cite one or two instances. The
little one comes To mamma with some
story or incident, in which his young
heart Is fully enlisted. With kindling
eye and earnest tones he begins the tale,
but when he looks for response III the
face he loves. he finds that deaf ear
has been turned TO him. His heart is
pained, and wound inflicted which NAV
take some time to heal. Or mamma is
going out, and the children come to bid
her an eager goodbye; as they clasp
their arms around her neck, she says !:
On, don't hug so tight, you muss my
rutile, or crush my bat"
4 he wise little heads conclude that
their caresscs are not much priced, and
the though; perhaps rankes while she is
gone, and causes q repression Of feeling
pn her return. Or the city child goes
INTO the country for the sumner. and
"hen he takes his first walk, bring,
mamma bunch of pretty flowers"
from The roadside .landcions. butter.
cups and daisies, with tie long slender
leaves of the common grass for green.
lhe first impulse is 10 say, "Oh these
are nothing but weeds, and they onlv
litter up the room II this impulse is
not checked swelling heart and fearful
eyes are the result. Mothers are often
so pressed with care, that it seems As if
they could not take time 10 attend TO
these little things, but they are not so
little as We think. Better make one less
garment for the body, better lay aside
the book or pen, than run the risk Of
marrlng by our thoughtlessncss the
precious jewels committed To our care.
Let the children Of three and four
years feel that mamma has time to at.
tend To their stories, To interest herself
in their plays; they will continue to
come 10 her as the years slip by and as
they approach maturity that sight among
earth's sweetest will be seen, of the
mother enjoying the confidence Of her
manly son and lovely daughter, intrusted
with all their secrets, shown their books
and letters, welcomed to their evening
entertainments, consulted in all their
plans.
No after-tie will weaken the bond be-
tween children and such a mother, and
her later years will be made bright by
the thought that she is honorcd, loved
and trusted, by those who are dearc, t.,
her than her own life Christian Hcekiy.
