The Illusions OF Childhood.

Who ever wished to correct the illu-
sions of childhood? All of us can look
back to a time when we believed vivid
ly that our own parents were perfect,
and believed dimly that the whole
grown-up world was perfect. The child
knows, indeed, that there are bad peo-
pie in the world, but they have moth
ing to do with the world in which he
and his companions dwell, and when
he thinks about them, he is puzzled
how to find room for them. We have
heard of child SO moderate that he
only produced two perfect men beside
his father to confute the doctrine of
original sin (women evidently being
not included in its scope), but most Of
us would have brought forward q much
larger body of witnesses on his side.
Now, no one would say that you gave
q child truer view of his father and
mother if you made him understand
that they were two very faulty beings,
with as much to repent of as the
naughtiest of his play-fellows. It is
not that truth had better be sacrificed
to love; we do sometimes feel that of
these illusions in later life, and anyone
who will put the. two states Of mind
side by side will at once see their diff
ference. 1t is that the illusion is actual
ly truer feeling than any you could
substitute for It. It is the natural,
healthful condition of mind of child,
the one which put him into his place
with regard to his elders, which ena-
bles them to do their part toward him,
and him to do his toward them. It
bears every test of truth, except that
of being independent of position. It is
the truth for . particular stage of de-
veloRment.-Spectator.

4 Tender Conscience.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
World tells q touching story of a young
Irish girl. whose tender conscience has
been burdened for many years by sill
yer thimble.
About twelve years ago an Irish girl,
Maggie by name, arrived in New York
on her way to N to find her sister.
She knew no other person in this coun-
try. She had scarcely enough money
left on her arrival to pay for her jour-
ney to N.
So long q time passed without com
ing to the journeys end that Maggie
became anxious, and asked q woman
who sat near when the cars would stop
ut N. She was told that they had
long ago passed the branch road where
she should have changed cars.
It was near night; she had not money
enough to pay for q lodging and food.
The woman she had spoken to proved
a friend indeed, and took her to her
own house, kept her q few days and
gave her sewing, for which she paid
her, then put her into the cars for
N.
Maggie arrived safely. and was full
of joy At finding her sister, and told her
with thankfulness of the kind friend
she had found. She lent Maggie her
own silver thimble, and after the poor
girl reached N--she found this in her
pocket, having forgotten to return it.
She was now in greater distress than
when she found herself lost in the cars.
She did not know the name Of her ben

efactor, had no idea where she lived,
and the thought that she would think
her kindness had been bestowed upon
thief was terrible to her honest heart,
=" and now she'll never help q poor
girl again."
She has returned to her old home,
after serving faithfully in one family
nearly eleven years. The thimble she
would not use, but kept it carefully
wrapped up in her trunk, and SO long
rs she lives she will carry the burden
upon her heart that she seemed to re-
turn kindness with treachery.
May this notice find the home which
sheltered her, and thus prove her inno-
cence, encouraging the Good Samari-
tan 10 bestow like kindness upon wan
dercrs who may come in her path.

Precocious, Coached. Up Children.

SUCH children are never well. Their
mental excitement keeps up q flush,
which, like the excitement caused by
strong drink in older children, looks
like health but has no relation to It.
If YOU look at the tongues Of these chill
dren you see them to be furred or
covered with many red points like
strawberry, or to be too rcd and very
dry. If you inquire into the state OF
the appetite, you will find that the
appetite is capricioas; that all kinds Of
strange food are asked for, and that the
stomach never seems to be in order. If
YOU watch the face for long, you note
that the frequent flush gives way to an
unearthly paleness. If you watch the
eyes, you observe that they CLEAN with
light at one time, and are dull, de-
pressed and sad at another, while they
never are laughing eyes. Their bright
ness is the brightness OF thought on the
strain. an evanescent and dangerous
phenomenon. If you feel the muscles.

A Young Bear Hunter.

FOREST STEVENS, son of Amos Stew
ems, of Gallauher Township, went out
squirrel ngyesterday, taking with
him dog, shotgun and squirrel ammu-
milton. While stealthily traversing the
wilds of that township in the afternoon,
he was much surprised to meet an old
she-bear and q playful he-cub face to
face. Having no bear ammunition,
and having too much grit TO run, he
gave the mother bear acharge of squir-
rel shot, which, if it did not hurt her,
certainly gave her . bad scare, as she
turned and fled, leaving her cub to take
care of himself. The dog and the cub
had lively set-to, in which the dog
came out second best, the clawing and
cutting of the cub being too much for
him. Two or three charges of shot did
not seem to hurt the cub in the least,
and he made his way up tree. The
young hunter then rammed = couple of
wooden plugs into his gun and blazed
away. The plugs hit the mark, and
cubby tumbled to the ground, and,
after another lively tussle with the dog,
gave up the ghost. Young Stevens
then shouldered his game and started
home, satisfied with his days sport.
He brought the carcass of the young
bear to town this morning, and exhib-
tied it to prove the truth Of his story

A Rich Man ON Riches.

THE following story is told of Jacob
Ridgway, q wealthy citizen of Phila-
delphia, who died many years ago,
leaving q fortune Of five or six million
dollars:

with whom the millionaire was con-
versing, "you are more to De envled
than any gentleman know"
"Why sop responded Mr.. Ridgway;
81 am not aware of any cause for
which should be particularly envied."
"Why, SIR" exclaimed the young
man in astonishment. "Think of the
thousands your income brings you every
MONTH"
"Well, what of that" replied MIR.
Ridgway. "All / get out Of this are

"But," said the young man, "think
of the hundreds of fine houses you own,
and of the rent they bring you.'
"What better am off for all that?''
responded the rich man. II can only
live in one house at q time: and as for

DAKOTA calculates that she has
raised 100000 bushels of wheat this
year.
THERE arc $4,000 commercial trav-

THE dispatches report that the pres
ent eruption of the Volcano Cotopaxi
is the most violent that has taken place
for years, and that the immense clouds
of smoke and ashes can be seen from
Guayaguil, 16O miles distant. As
COtopaxi is subject to violent cruptions,
this means a great deal. In 1888 the
flames rose 5000 feet above the mouth
of the crater; in 1868 the smoke and
ashes darkcncd the air for many miles,
and during the eruption of 1908 Hum
bOldt heard the explosions at Guaya-
quill, booming out like the continual
discharges of a battery of artillery. In
1744 the explosions were heard al
distance of 800 miles. There were out
bursts in 1850, 1854, 1856 and 1864, and
at all times there is an escape of steam
and smoke. Cotopaxi is the highest
active volcano in America, and vio-
lent eruption is notable event in the
worlds history. In 1893 an eruption
destroyed the City of Tacunga, some
thirty miles distant, but, as a rule, the
eruptions have not been disastrous.
Frequently the great mass of snow
near the top of the mountain is melted
by the internal fires, and the plains be-
low flooded.
