PUTTING CHILDREN TO BED.-Not with
a reproof for any of that days sins of
omission Or commission. Take any other
time but bedtime for that. If you ever
heard Il little creature signing and sobbing
in its sleep you could never do this. Seal
their closing eyclids with kiss and a
blessing. The time will come all too soon
when they will lay their heads upon their
pillows lacking both. Let them then at
least have this sweet memory of II happy
childhood of which no future sorrow or
trouble can rob them. Give them their
rosy youth. Nor need this involve wild
license. The judicous parent will not SO
mistake my meaning. If you have ever
met the man or woman whose eyes have
suddenly filled when II little child has
crept trustingly to its mothers breast, you
may have seen one in whose childhood s
home dignity and severity stood where
love and pity should have been. Too
much indulgence has ruined thousands OF
children; too much love. not one.

STOVES. Coal AND GoLD.-Sloves are
of comparatively modern invention, and
were first used in the northern countries of
Europe. Ben Franklin was one of the
earliest writers on stoves and invented
some very ingenious forms of them, one
of which bears the name of the inventor.
Coal seems to have been unknown to
the ancients. 1t is not known at what
time it began to be used rs fuel England
was the first country where it was used to
any considerable extent, and it was not un-
til the end of the thirteenth century that it
was employed in London, and then at first
only in arts and manufactures. In 1917
its use was prohibited by Parliament on
the ground that it was injurious to health.
The high price of wood however, soon
compelled its general use.
Gold was in all probability one of the
earliest discovered metals. 1t was used
by the Egyptians and other ancient nations
for the same purposes as it is to-day. In
Genesis 1872, Abraham is said to have
been rich in cattle, in silver and in gold"
Its discovery is lost in the mists of anti
guilty.

When man has business that doesn't
pay, he usually begins to look around for
II partner to share his losses with him.
A French philosopher remarks; There
are people whom we discover that we love
when somebody attacks them" And there
are people whom we only attack when we
discover that somebody loves them.
What the Rochester Express calls "a
machine to save swearing has been in
vented by man in Lockport, n. Y. 1t
consists of an arrangement by which
stovepipes are joined together like a tee-
scope.

The Chinese are evidently pagan. They
celebrate all their holidays by paying their
debts, forgiving their enemies, and shak-
| ing hands all around The civilized peo-
| pie VINO have gone to China have not yet
induced them to relinquish these old and
| barbarous habits.
FALSE MoRALITY.-Never teach false
morality. How exquisitely absurd to tell
girls that beauty is of no value-dress of
no use! Beauty is of value Her whole
prospects and happiness in life may often
depend upon II new gown or becoming
bonnet; and, if she has five grains of com
mon sense, she will find this out. The
great thing is to teach her their first value,
and that there must be something better
under the bonnet than pretty face for
real happiness. But never sacrifice truth.
The other evening sprightly little girl
about seven years old entered n store on
Woodward avenue, and after considerable
hesitation, whisperingly inquired of II
clerk, "do you keep nursing bottles herew
We do" he answered, and exhibiting
two or three different styles, he asked which
she preferred. AS she was looking them
over he remarked, Its for your little
brother, | suppose?" Yes sir, it is"
she stiflly answered, you didn't think it
was for my son, did you?" Her indignant
look haunts him still.-Dctr0U Free Press.
A negro minister who married rather
sooner after the death of his wife than
some of the sisters thought proper and be-
coming, excused himself as follows: " My
dear brederen and sisters, my grief was

way for peace and comfort, but none
came. searched the scriptures from
Ginisee to Rebeation, and found plenty of
promises to de widder, but nary one to de

didn't waste sympathy on II man when it
was in his power to comfort himself, and
habin II fuss-rate chance to marry in de
Lord, | did so, and would do so again.

A New CEMENT.-A new and reliable
cement for broken glass vessels of all
kinds, and for the manufacture of water
proof cloth and paper impenetrablc to
moisture. has been given TO the public. 1t
is known as chromium glue, and is II con-
centrated solution of gclatine, TO which has
been added one part Of chromote of lime in
solution for every five parts Of gelaline.
This mixture has the property, on expo
sure TO light. Of becoming insoluble in
water II result due to the partial reduction
of the chronic acid 10 II lower degree of
oxidation. To apply it, the surfaces of the
vessels to be mcnded are cooked as uni
formly us possible in the freshly prepared
glue, and are then pressed firmly together
and held in this position by means of
thread. The vessel is then exposed to the
light for several hours, ut the expiration
of which time the operation is complete.
Boiling water does not cause the article
treated in this way to separate, having, in
fact, no effect upon the new combination.
To render cloth water proof, the fabric is
stretched upon frame, and immersed two
or three times in the preparation, and then
exposed to the sun. Damp-proof paper is
prepared by simply brushing over the sur,
face with n thin solution of the chromium
Glue.

That was brave lad who found himself
suddenly adrift in dilapidated schooner
off Atlantic City, n. j., the other day. He
was little fellow, but when he saw the
surf boat which had put out 10 his assist
ance turn back TO shore, the cruel crew
probably concluding that it wasn't worth
while to make much of an effort for only Il
boy, and when he fully realized the peril
of his position, he didn't drop down and
sob he didn't despair, nor did he lose his
head. But he set resolutely to work and
prepared his crazy craft as best he could
for the struggle with the waves. The first
night out, he says in his homely narrative
" II heavy sea broke over the vessel and
rolled me over the wheel. The rigging
and deck were covered with ice, and it
was with difficulty that l kept myself
from freezing" The next day he thought
he was near the Gulf Stream. There
was about foot and n halt of water in
the hold, and heavy sea rolling. The
pumps gave out, and | was forced to bale
o'clock the next night he was hailed by Il
barque, which cleared the schooner by on
ly about ten feet. But the barque SAILED
away, though the little fellow promptly
hung out signal light; and his struggle
continued. The next morning the plucky
lad sighted land near Beach Haven. "Af
ter beating about all day." he says, 81
headed up abreast Absccon Light. The
sea was very rough, and, failing to bring
the vessel into the inlet, and as the water
was up to the cabin floor, l beached her on
Little Brigantine Shoals, where | was
taken off after having been without SLEEP
for four days and three nights"

ldlcness, us has been truly said, is the
mother of crime; and it is the true road to
poverty. We are all so constituted that
our minds must be employed. Persons
brought up in idlencss and luxury often
acquire bad habits, which they never can
throw off through life, and which aid in
premature death. The associations in life
are various, and all ought to be employed
in some useful calling, and to faithfully
discharge the duties Of that calling.
BE THoEoUGH.-If you want to succeed
in life, be thorough in your work, what
ever it is. 1t is sometimes convenient to
be jack of-all- trades, but it is always
profitable to be master of one. A work
man who thoroughly understands his
business is seldom in danger of coming to
want While the mass of the inefficient
suffer- the few who do the best work,
whether men or women, are always sought
for.
DIVORCED AND THEN REMARRIED.-A
married couple in Mendoza, who had lived
in happiness in Illinois, went to Kansas,
recently, and were divorced. The mys-
terry is now explained. The husband had
Il homestead OF 100 acres of fine farming
land, and there was another 100 acres
adjoining not yet taken up. The pair
were divorced, the young woman entered
the vacant quarter section, and established
her claim rs the head of II family. This
having been done, the pair were remarked
and now they have II fine Elrm of half "
section. - Ot dlCG Itl7GS.

TIE LOUISVILLE BOYS WHO DIDN'T
REACH New Enthusiastically last,
says the Louisville Courier Journal, Will
liam Watts, son of Mr.. w. o. Watts, and
james Stuart, son of Mr.. William Stuart,
two romantic youths, conceived the idea.
or rather put the idea previously conceived
into execution. The idea was to start for
New Orleans in skitf. and, on their way
down, to lead q merry, reckless life, drift
| ing toward their destination through the
sunny hours Of day, and.at night TO breathe
the sweet air of freedom before the camp
fire beneath the starry canopy of heaven.
Before starting they had provided every
comfort in the way of eatabIcs, so that
their dream of pleasure would not be
marred by so unromantic n thing as even
Il pain beneath their jackets. Each of the
boys, with gun on his shoulder and IL
pistol in his pocket, proceeded to Portland,
where their craft lay in wait for its bold
shippers, in charge of Il kindred spirit,
notwithstanding the cruel fates had thrown
Il veil of blackness over the latters face.
The three-two whites and one black
entered their boat and were soon merrily
drifting down the laughing waves of the
Ohio As night approached they drew
their bark to the land, and were soon en-
ioyng sumptuous repast, prepared by
the sable hands of their black friend.
In the midst of their rejoicing one felt
fathers hand laid gently on his shoulder,
and the other heard fathers voice call to
him from the mysterious dal kness around
them. Both felt II longing mt their hearts
to return. and at last hearkened to the
voices pleading TO them. They threw
themselves into the arms of their fathers
and wept. All then started home, arriving
the same night. Yesterday morning they
stood around in the presence of numerous
companions and recounted their thrilling
adventures. Nothing could induce them,
however, to take seats. They explained
their preference for standing by stating
that legs were made for such purpose, but
those who know better incline to think
that some parental advice had been ad-
ministered in the usual effective way.

for Sunday, stopping occasionally to re-

that which he was disposed to disapprove,
when he was accosted by his little son
" Father, does God tell you what to
preachP" " Certainly, my child" Then
what makes you scratch it out?"
