Mrs, Atkinson IS Baby

The Atkinsons have hal terrible time
oyer their baby. Nj. Atkinson sent
home folding crib, with the Stats made
in two pieces and hung upon hinges
When they opened THAR Glib s4.6 !,ut the
mattress il it, Mr., Atkinson oo..41tted to
fix securely the catches that hold the
Stats. Mr. and Mrs, Atkinson went to
bed early that night, and about eleven
o'clock something began to kick vigor-
ously. The result was that the stats
slowly descended, and deposited the
mattress and the baby upon the floor.
The baby being particularly wide awake,
crawled out into the room, and seeing
light in the EMERY, went through the
door just as Mr.. Atkinson's aunt, Miss
6oggs, was coming up the stairs to bed.
Size picked the baby up, and finding that
his father and mother were asleep, she
carried it to her room in the third story,
determined to take care of it the rest of
the night.
About an hour later Mrs. Atkinson
woke, and thought she would glance over
at the crib to see how the baby was get
ting along. No sooner had she done so
than she jumped from the bed in alarm.
The baby was not there! The cotton
seemed to have fallen cut of the whole
contrivance. Her first thought was that
the baby was lying under the mattress
smothered to death. She pulled the
mattress aside, but there were no signs Of
the baby.
Then, wild with alarm, she shook Mr.
Atkinson, and told him to get up. Akin
son growled out, in sleepy tone:
"The paregoric bottle is in the closet;
go and get it yourself"
"Alonzo!" shrieked Mrs. Atkinson, tsyou

ported to have begun the study Of the
piano late in life with the most difficult
of Bethoven's sonatas, and to have prac-
ticed it in solitude for 10 years, alternate

come to the Musical Evenings, and sit
listening in corner. 81 never" says
Shumann, 'played better or more gladly

I received all my power from him. ; After
a time he came ne more. But I will not
spoil the pathetic end of the tail by
tragmentary quotation. A contrast to
this is the account Of the artistic ball at
the editors, who invited young musicians,
in order to get reviews out of them; here
the writer hangs charming little sketch
on the simple incident of his getting en-
gagged for the same dance to two Of the
editors daughters. In his maxims and
aphorisms also, though too thorough

nebulous verbiage on the other, for
wisdom and profundity,he has said many
good things. For instance, One. voice

Beethoven and one by Gyrowetz and then

The Mothers Life.

The mothers life is full of prose
From early dawn till daYllght's close,
But oft, amid her household cares,
Some little poem unawares
Is written down within her heart
And of her life becomes a part.
Some loving words child may say,
A golden curl long put away,
A nalf-worn shoe upon the floor,
An outgrown dress the baby wore,
A broken toy or faded flower,
May touch the heart-strings any hour.

stores are displaying grand panorama
Of toilet novelties.
Laces, frlnges, buckles, ribbons, ieath-

unique, pretty, useful and ornamental
knick-knacks are displayed in endless
protusion. Flowers will be abundantly
used, and in rich masses, as borders for
the train of evening dress, are as massive
panels or revers on the sides of the dress,
instead Of the struggling garniture of the
past seasons. Crepe lisse is used as
trimming, both in plain white and in col

A True Story OF a Horse.

A FEW years ago an officer of our
army was stationed in Boston. He
soon found that his fine horse Charlie,
of which he was very fond, would be of
no use to him in the city.
So he sent him into the country. In
the pasture there were several horses;
and among them, one poor, forlorn old
horse, called Paddy, who was constant
ly leased and worried by the other
more frisky horses.
When Charlie, who was superb
animal, arrived, what do you suppose
he did? Did he join the others in tor
menting poor, harmless old Paddy?
No, very far from that.
As soon as he saw how the old horse
was treated, Charlie lost no time in
making himself his protector. He
guarded the trough, and would not let
the other horses have drop to drink
until Paddy had had his full share.
They all looked up to Charlie, and
when they found that old Paddy had
such powerful friend, they gave up
their ugly, teasing ways.
So you see it is with animals as it is
with men and boys; the truly brave
ones always protect the weak. towards
are only too fond of abusing those not
strong enough to defend themselves

FOR THE CURE OF

justly claims for it superiority over all rem
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERHANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever. wheth.
or Of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cureif
tho directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for . cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration Of the general health. It is,
however, prudent, andin every case more GER
tain to cure, If its useis continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep tho bowels in
good order. Should the prtient, however, re.
quire cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, single dose Of

be sufficient.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

BURY your dead ANIMALS at the root
of your fruit trees. You will find that
it pays good percentage.
CINDERS IN THE EYE.-Thc simplest
method of removing cinders from the
eye is to pass a camel s-hair brush
dipped in water over it. The opera
ton requires no special skill, and occu-
pies but a minute.
EVERY farmer should learn well his
calling-and in order that it may be
profitable, practice it thoroughly. Then
do not let any fancied prospects of for
tune beguile you from it. A VEN
ture in other pursuits frequently swal-
lows all the accumulation of years of
toil.-Ios0a State Register.
To EXTERMINATE FLEAs.-Take half
pound OF Persian insect powder, half
pound powdered bOrax, one ounce oil
cedar, quarter ounce oil of pennyroyal,
properly put up by druggist; close
the room tight, sprinkle this powder on
carpet, furniture and beds, aud keep
closed over day or night; then open all
windows and air thoroughly, and in
twenty-four hours there will be no tleas,
flies or mosquitoes left; the rooms can
then be swept and busted. This applies
nearly as well to reaches and water
bugs.-N. y Times.
CIDER-MAKING is now in order, and
old barrels must have become very
musty and moldy and wholly unfit to
use without thorough fumigation. A
scientific journal gives the following
recipe for etfecting this, which we hope
it may do: ITO clean cider barrels,
pour in lime water, and then insert a
trace-chain through the bung hole, re-
Numbering to fasten strong cord on
the chain SO as to pull it out again.
Shake the barrel until all of the mold
inside is. rubbed off. Rinse with water.
This is simple enough and would seem
to meet the requirement. Really fine
cider cannot be expected when the bar
rels are not perfectly sweet and clean.
|-Prairie Farmer.
The UNLUCKY FARMER.-The man
who cannot commence blowing in sea-
son because his land is full Of water,
who has not manure enough to cover
his land and must plant part of it in
poor condition, trusting to an extra
good season to help him out in his
crops. who begins blowing so late that
he has not time enough to thoroughly
prepare his seed-bed before he must
sow or be too late, whose implements
are poor and giving out just when most
needed for the urgent labors of the
farm. whose stock is weak from neglect
and unable to do good service; in fact,
the farmer who is always unfortunate,
whose crops are winter-killed, or suf-
fering from floods or droughts, or are
destroyed by insects, is, nine times out
of ten, the poor, shiftless farmer

Selection OF Seed. Corn.

The matter of selecting seed-corn is
a very important one, and as farmers
generally are aware that corn for plant
ing should be well dried before the frost
touches the leaves, it is to be presumed
that most of the seed-corn throughout
the country has been secured. Many
cultivators 60 further and say that seed
gathered and dried in the sun as soon
as the kernel is out of milk has more
vitality to withstand cold and damp
after it is planted than when allowed
to remain on the stock until dead ripe.
However this may be in point of fact,
corn which ripens earliest in the field
is to be preferred, other things being
favorable. After having sun-dried
their seed the farmers of some sections
store it in lofts of smoke-houses that il
may become permeated with the odor
of meat undergoing smoking therein,
and thus gain a protection when in the
ground against the depredations OF
field mice. birds, worms, etc. Having
gathered the best and finest seed that
can be found by selecting from those
stalks which have the most ears, TAX
ing the best from each stalk, the first
essential point is gained. Having Sc
lected large, fair ears, with kernels OF
bright, clear color, choose those ears
in which the rows are most uniform
and regular in size. Take also such
ears that taper the least, having their
butts very little larger than their tips.
Those ears that are well. filled out at
the tips with the grain covering the
"a u 4
preferred. Take the central grain
from each ear, rejecting the tips and
butts, as it has been demonstrated over
and over again that the kernels near
the ends of the cob give smaller yield
and an inferior grain.-N. 7: World.
