With its pleasant stories and otherwise de
lightfully varied contents of useful and choice
reading, there is no wonder that Cooley never
loses in its thorough popularity, now main,
tanned for nearly half century. The Febru.
airy number has, as a frontispiecc, a lovely steel
engraving of quarrel between Sir Henry Lee
and Trusty Tompkins in Woodstock Park, fol.
lowed by another of II love scene, and then a
brilliantly colored fashion plate, patters &c.
Especially valuable are the Recipes in the
present number.

The February number opens with a fine por
trait and sketch Of Thomas A Edison, the great
electrician and inventor, of Fenlo Park, New
Jersey, who is shown, though still scarcely
thirty years of age, TO be one of the most re
markablc men of his day. This is followed by
other articles of interest, among which may b,
noted:
Development of the Earth and Earth Life
Education and Religion; Ny Home Kinder
garten; Popular Shows; A Literary Pair
Light in Dark Places; SmOllett as a Novelist
Brain and Mind; Fat as Food; Hospital Con
struction; Citron Fruits; Notes on Science

which predict rain and thunder on the coming
Fourth-and they cost as much as five cents
Get the cheapest and bcst.-Norristo,rn Hcrdh.
There are clever girls in Canada as well as
among the Ioosiers. The Detroit Free Press re-
latcs the case of Toronto girl who thought II
would be just as well to commence housekeeping
right away, and begin the ncwycar with training
up a husband in the way he should 90, but her
father thought differently. So she invited all her
friends to the wedding at certain church at a
given hour. OF course there was big crowd,
including the angry father, who was prepared to
forbid the bans with shot gun. Meanwhile the
young lady and her adorable William went 10
another church and were quietly married, and as
they left the sacred edifcc she remarked that
where there was a VIII there was a way.
There is nothing mean abouta PittsburS young
man, and when, a week ago, at church lalr III
that village, twenty young girls agreed TO be
nut M at auction and sold for the benefit OF the
church debt fund, the bidding was of course
lively Each girl, she was put upon the block
was so enveloped in "A sheet that nothing of her
WAS seen but her eyes. Some Of the young men
that the sums offered were muniiccnt in the cX-
IRENE. One actually sold at the regal price OF
a, 10 but rs Pittsburg does not boast of great
many millionaire bachelors, the Others went off
at something less With one or two Of the young
ladies Il chrome was thrown in, as If to stimulate
bidding, but it was scraccly necessary and an in
eXcusablc waste Of chrOmOs, for the whole lot
we are, of course, referring 10 the ladies-was
disposed of at extremely good prices.
THE PAINTER.
\ painter once store did keep,
And nc was quite joker
For when he found his girl asleep
He with yellow ochrc.
When he with yell awoke that girl
The painter thought he had her;
But she, though mad when she lay down,
Undoubtedly rose madden
His girl woke up brimful of mirth,
And joined him in a cotillion;
He Rugged her close for she was worth
Al least quart Of ycrmillion.
