Lead poisoning is introduced into the
human system in number OF ways
that would not be really suspected.
Such, for instance, is the case when to-
bacco chewers are poisoned BY tinfoil.
II it were actually tin, the circumstance
Of their masticating it occasionally
along with the tobacco would not do
them any harm. But 1t h said that
tinfoil nowadays is made Of lead and
only faced with tin. 1t is safe to take
some Of these metallic poison stories
with grain OF salt. Since an inquiry
about lead poison found In the lining
of culinary utensils, investigations
have been made by chemists at many
places and nearly always with varying
results. One of them reports that lead
was found in the glazing Of lined sauce
pans made at the West, but not In those
made at the East. Some chemists have
not been able to find a trace Of lead
in the suspected glazing. Prof. Nor
ton, of Stevens Institute has made .
careful analysis, and finds In the entire
lining of large bowl of the ''enameled
iron" one milligram of lead. He regards
this as fair average specimen Of that
sort Of ware as sold in cities. II
cook, therefore, were to scrape on the
whole lining Of saucepan at every
meal, and serve it up as part Of the
hash, it would take about . month to
poison the boarders. Probably major
ity OF the experts examined some
antiquated specimens Of American
lined ironware, as it is admitted that
when these things were first made iE
this country powdered glass was used
in compounding the enamel, and many
kinds Of glass contain lead in consid-
cradle quantities. But Of late powdered
glass has not been used at all in makind
the lining.

Why He Brought no Fish.

LeFevre went down the river in his
boat on Saturday afternoon, but came
home in the evening without any fish.
A Record man met him after coming
home, and inquired how it was, he
being such an expert fisherman, that
he returned empty-handed. 'Well,
you see," said lie, 'is doesn't do for
man to go alone fishing now, for the
grasshoppers are dangerous. After
getting down to the spot yhere l always
fish, / run the boats nose in the bank.
and was going to jump ashore, but just
as 1 got ready to sprirg something
kicked me in the stomach and knocked
me back into the boat. / wondered
what in thunder it was, and thought
for little while that must have been
struck with lightning, but imagine my
astonishment upon getting out of the
boat bottom to find grasshopper lying
down on the bank and getting ready to
kick me again. Thinks to myself, I'll
get even on you with my gun, but just
rs | raised it to my shoulder TO take
aim the hopper jumped from the bank
into the boat, hit me another diff with
his off leg and knocked me overheard.
Well, sir, while / was fioundering
about i'm the water, what does that in
fernal graSshopper do but hoist one of
his wings to the wind and start off down
the river in my boat for sail. Jump
ing Meses, but was madl / scrambled
out of the water and ran along the river
bank throwing rocks at the hopper, but
L was so excited that it was impossible
for long time to hit him. At last 1
came to fence, and tearing up a gate
post close by, threw that and took him
just under the left ear as he was i'm the
act of draining the last drop out of my
whiskey bottle. Well, sir, that gate
post was evidently unexpected. 1t
knocked him stiff and clean overheard,
and he sank like stone. My boat
drifted ashore, and IL lost no time in
getting aboard and coming home.
That's why didn't bring home string
of fish. You come down the river with
me next Sunday and I'll show you the
hole where pulled the gate-post up"

What Men Need Wives For.

It is not to sweep the house, make
the bed, darn the socks and cook the
meals, chiefly, that man wants wife.
If this is all he needs, hired help can
do it cheaper than wife. If this is all,
when young man calls to see lady,
send him into the pantry to taste the
bread and cake she has made; then send
him to inspect the needlework and bed
making, or put broom in the young
lady's hand and send him to witness
its use. Such things are important,
and the wise young man will quickly
look after them; but what the true man
wants with wife is her companion
ship, sympathy and love. The way OF
life has many dreary places in it, and
man needs companion to go with
him. A man is sometimes overtaken
by misfortunes; he meets with failure
and defeat; trials and temptations beset
him, and he needs one to stand by and
sympathize. He has some hard battles
to fight with poverty, enemies and sin,
and he needs a woman, that, when ne
puts his arm around her, he feels that
he has something to fight for, and that
she, being a true woman, will help him
to fight; that she will put her lips to his
ear and whisper words Of counsel, and
her hand TO his heart and impart in
spiration. All through life, through
storms and sunshine, through conflict
and victory, through adverse and
through favoring winds, man needs
woman's love. His heart yearns for 1t.
A sisters or mothers love will hard
ly supply the need. Yet many seek for
nothing further than success in house
work. Justly enough, half Of these
get nothing more; the other half, sur
prised beyond measure, have gotten
more than they sought. Their wives
surprise them by bringing out noble
idea in marriage, and disclosing treas
ury of courage, sympathy and love.

Oh, GeOrgel


She was young and fair, and tear
giistened in her eye as she laid her
curly head upon his shoulder, and ex-
claimed, "Oh, George, / think If 1 found
you did not love me, should de. !"
MY darling" he answered, passing his
hand gently around her dimpled chin,
II will always love you. Do you think
/ would marry you if 1 did not feel sure
of it. In few days, at the altar,
shall VOW to love you all my life, and I
shall keep my VOW" A lovely kind of
beatific happiness played for a moment
like sunshine on her lips, and then she
whispered, "Oh, George, / like to hear
you talk like that, you have Oeen so
good to me. You have given me dia-
mond locket and a gold watch and
chain and rings that an angel might
wear outside her gloves and not be
ashamed, and if 1 thought that one day
you'd be sorry you'd given me all these
nice things and want them back again
l should break my heart" He held
her gently against his manly breast,
and answered with quivering voice,
"Oh, my own darling, there is nothing
on earth that could happen that would
make me repent giving you a few tok-
ems of my love, or make me want them
back again.. She sprang from his
arms like joyous deer, she shook back
her sunny curls, and with a whole poem
in her hazel eyes. exclaimed, "Oh,
George, you have taken load from
my heart. I've come to say l can't
marry you after all, because I've seen
somebody 1 like better, ana / thought
you'd want your presents back again."

Many an unwise parent labors hard
and lives sparingly all his life for the
purpose Of giving his children . start
In the world, as it is called. Setting .
young man afloat with money left him
by his relations, is like tying bladders
under the arms of one who cannot
swim; ten chances to ono he win loss
his bladders and 60 to the bsttom.
Teach him to swim, and he viii never
need the bladders. Give your child
sound education, and you have done
enough for him. See to it that his NOR
ais are pure, his mind cultivated, and
his whole nature made subservient to
laws which govern nan, and you have
given him what will be Of more value
than the wealth Of the Indies.

1.-The son of an old friend, Olive, Mr..

Inc son OF an old friend, Olive, Mr..
Roberts"
made myself agreeable. as in duty
bound, TO Mr. Roberts,. a man of thir-
ty or thereabout,, with face that was
downright ugly, but pleasant from the
expression Of frank good hUmor and
intelligence upon it. We talked of
everything, and was surprised at the
congeniality of taste we soon discov-
cred. In an animated discussion of
heroines, Mr.. Roberts, turning to Uncle
George, said:
"You were kindly inquiring this
morning about my fortune since father
died, but did not tell you one little
episode. Before was fortunate enough
to obtain my present lucrative situation,
was for time telegraph operator in
small place called Dryden, and then L
heard of a real heroine, of whom the
world will probably never hear"
L knew what was coming, but / kept
my face perfectly composed to listen.
When the story was finished, giving
Uncle George sly pinch to keep him
quiet, said:
"What kind of a looking person was
the wonderful heroine?"
''I never saw her; for although Bays
vile was the next village TO Dryden,
never went there. But she was de-
scribed to me as tall, strong and mas
culine."
''In short, my dear Lion" I said
gravely, 'she was a perfect Elephantl'
Such stare as greeted me, am GER
tain never came on Leo Roberts face
before or after that hour. His eyes
dilated till 1 thought that they would
pop out of his dear, ugly face, and his
mouth opened in utter amazement.
Finally, he remembered his manners,
and gasped:
Pardon me, WAS it really you?"
"Uncle George, | said, Twill you
please introduce me properly to Mr..
Robertsy / believe he thinks your
niece must share your name."
With a flourish Uncle George arose,
and grayely introduced:
''Mr. Leo Roberts, Miss Olive Hud-
son-Miss Hudson, Mr.. Roberts.
After that we could not certainly be
strangers, and Mr.. Roberts came
"many time and oft, to dine with
Uncle George.
And one day there was wedding
where the bride was very small, buried
in lace and orange blossoms, and the
bridegroom was ugly and good-natured;
but it was a true love match, a fit end
ing for the Irritation commenced at
Dryden and Baysville, over the wires.

There is nothing more indicative of
refinement and genuine culture in a
family than bright, cheerful and taste
fully decorated bed-chambers. Taste
full decorations do not necessarily mean
expense, and it is possible TO make a
chamber look very pretty at very
small outlay. Indeed, in many instan-
ces, no outlay at all will be required
beyond what would be incurred under
any circumstances. The women of a
family, especially, are apt to pass good
portion Of their time i'm their bed
chambers, and in some houses the sleep
ing apartments are used alike for sew
ing-rooms, sitting-rooms and nurser-
les. 1t is worth while to obtain all
the innocent pleasures we can find in
this life, and there can be no doubt that
life Is pleasanter if most of its hours
are passed in cheerful looking apart

Preservation Of Icc.

MIR. Sampson Gamgee, Surgeon to the
Queens Hospital, Birmingham, in a
short article, calls attention to the sub
ject of preserving ice in cases of sick
ness. His practice for some years has
been to cut piece of flannel about
nine inches square, and secure it by
ligature round the mouth of an ordi-
nary tumbler, so as to leave cup
shaped depression of flannel within the
tumbler to half its depth. In the fan
mel cup so constructed pieces of ice may
be preserved many hours, all the long
er if piece of flannel from four to five
inches square be used as loose cover
ing to the ice-cup. Cheap flannel, with
comparatively open meshes, is prefer
able, as the water easily drains through
it, and the ice is thus kept quite dry.
When good flannel with close texture
is employed, small hole must be made
in the bottom of the flannel cup, other
wise it holds the water, and facilitates
the melting of the ice, which is, never
theless, preserved much longer than
in the naked cup or tumbler.
a reserve supply outside the bed
room door can be secured by making
flannel cup, on the plan above de-
scribed, in jug, and filling it with
little Jumps of ice-care being taken
that there is space enough below the
bag to allow the water to collect and
leave the ice dry. This provision will
allow the ice to be used during the hot
test night, without the supply failing,
or the patient being disturbed-two
very important considerations. The
real therapeutic benefit of ice is only
produced in some cases by its free use,
and its soothing and stilling effect must
be aided by the most perfect surround
ing quiet.

his jaw-bone, and otherwise injuring

she was bent on laying him up for q

How 1 Love You.

How 1 Love You.
You ask me how love you. deara
see your very soul arise,
And torn by passionate hope and fear,
Look at me from your questioning eyes.
Ali sweet imploring eyes, from whence
Shall draw fitting words to fashion
The hearts unspoken e.oquence
Into the story OF my passion?
Beyond our feeble eai THY sight,
Behind the souls deep mystery,
Love dwelleth-ap eternal light
That never shone on land or seal
Sometimes a burning ray escapes
From that still glory unaware,
Touches some lip with fiame-and shapes
Itself into song or prayer.
Some wondrous inspiration, wrought
On poesy's gold-letterrd pages,
That strikes the master-key of thought,
And rolls I'm music down the ages.
FOR only can the poets art
Interpret to the listening throne
The glowing language of the heart,
Breatheu into some undying song.
And 30, dear heart. may not tell
How all my life Is thinc-nor why
only know love thee well.
With love that cannot change or die;
For, when the heavenly day hath dawned.
Aad earthly things have passed away,
In the immeasurable years beyond.
MY love will still be- thine for ayei
