CH1LDREN's Observation-Disclosures stock
ings should not be fastened with elastic (or
other) bands around the leg, as any band so
applied interferes more or less with the circu-
lation of the blood. Buttons should be
sewed on the tops of the stockings, on the
outer side of the leg, and elastic straps with
button.holes at each end should fasten to
these and to buttons on the under vests, un-
der the arms. There are patent stocking
supporters much like this, only the strap forks
above the knee, and attaches to the stocking
on the outside, and also on the inside of each
stocking-leg. Homemade garters can be ar
ranged the same way, but find one tasten'
ing suficent.-Agricuhurist.

A NEW ORDER.

The other day, after a strapping young
man had sold a load of corn and potatoes on
the market, and had taken his team to hotel
barn yard to "feed," it became known to the
young men around the barn that he was very
desirous of joining some secret society in town.
When questioned, he admitted that such was
tiate him into new order, called "The Cava-
liers of Coveo." He was told that it was
twice as secret as Free Masonry, much nicer
than Odd Fellowship, and the cost was only
50. In case he had the toothache he could
draw S. per week, from the relief fund, and
he was entitled to receive $40 for every head
ache, and S25 for sore throat.
The young man thought he had struck a
big thing, and after eating hearty dinner he
was taken into storeroom, above the barn,
to be initiated. The boys poured cold water
down his back, put -four in his hair, swore
him to kill his mother, if commanded, and
rushed him around for an hour without COM
plant from his lips. When they had finished
he inquired
"Now, Pm one of the Cavaliers of Coveo,
am II"
"You are," they answered.
Nothing more to learn, is there?"
Nothing"
"Well, then, I'm going to lick the whole
crowd - continued the candidate, and he went
at it, and before he got through he had his 81
initiation fee back, and three more to boot.
and had knocked everybody down two or
three times apiece. He didn't seem greatly
disturbed in his mind as he drove out of the
barn. On the contrary, his hat was slanted
over, he had five cent cigar in his teeth,
and he mildly said to one of the barn boys:
"Say, boy, if you hear of any cavaliers
asking for Coveo about my size, tell 'em

A Slow TRA1N.-We are frequently in

Monmouth Democrat, for anecdotes illustra-
tive of the character of the peculiar people
who live in New Jersey. He sends US this
The Hon. G. T. tells good story of a slow
railroad in the northern part of the State.
He says he went there cunning, and came to
a short line of road, on which was run sin
gle car, the forward end of which was parti-
toned off for baggage. He took his dog in
the car with him and put him under the seat.
Presently the conductor came along, and in
sisted that the dog should 60 into the baggage
room, which, after some alteration, was done !;
but here the baggage-master demanded fee OF
fifty cents, which was denounced as ''swin.
dle," "put-up job," between the conductor
and the baggage man, and that sooner than
pay it, he would tie the dog to the train and
let him "work his passage" The conductor
assented, and the dog was hitched to the rear
Of the train. The dog, so 7. says, kept along
easily with the train, but the conductor began
to get uneasy, making frequent trips to the
engineer, urging him to increase the speed OF
the train, and back again to watch the effect
upon the dog. The latter began to show sg gns
of fatigue, but after while caught his 'sec.
ond wind" and was keeping along as before.
The conductor now ordered the engineer to
heave all the coal into the furnace and stir
up the Ere, which being done, the speed was
perceptibly increased. The conductor again
went to the rear of the car to observe the ef-
feet, but the dog had disappeared, whereupon
he triumphantly called T.'s attention to the
fact. The latter, after taking glance at the
situation, quietly pointed to crack in the
floor of the car, "and there" says he, "was

car, and licking the grease from one of the
axle. boxes ~-Harper's Mag.

a boy on West Hill started to school on the

five blocks from home, he lamed dog, lost

UNSEEN INFLUENCE.--Perhaps> we cannot
estimate correctly the extent Of our influence
over every one with whom we come in con:
TACT because in the majority of cases we are
not trying to WELD any influence. We meet
CASUAL with halfa-dezsn~ ~aeauaintanees in
the course of a day-we talk on indifferent
subjects and part, and straightway we forget
all that passed between us, or we think we do.
But the impressions given (and receiyed) are
as ihefaceable as they may be slight, and we
can never hold converse for brief half hour
with any fellow-creature without leaving
some mark and carrying some away. 1t is
said that if common door-key, for example,
be laid on sheet Of white paper and then
placed, without moving, in dark closet, the
impression of the key will be distinctly seen
on the paper for month or two, when again
brought to the light How much more Ger.
tain is the contact Of two souls to leave mu-
tual impressions which, unlike the feeting
image of the key on the paper, are destined
to endure, perhaps to deepen with years !?
How careful of our words and actions we
should become if we realized fully and clear.
ly this truth How many inconsiderate
speeches would be left unmade, how many
harsh judgments tempered with charity, if
the full effect of each was recognized Chris

DEBT-The first and most ruinous form OF
extravaganza is going in debt. There is moth
ing in the world so easy for most people to
do-that is if people will trust them-as to run
in debt. There is nothing harder than to get
out. To exert ones self intensely, to practice
self-denial, or endure hardships for future
good, whose enjoyment far more than repays
the present trouble is comparatively easy.
But to do this that we may pay fora past pleas
ure, whose delight we shall never taste again,
and which in looking back, we almost regard
as folly, this is one of the hardest tasks a man
can undertake working to pay debt is the
hardest and most uninspiring druid gerry. Debt
seems almost endowed with perpetual motion.
creasing, until it buries it's victim irretriev-
ably beneath it's deadening avalanche. Yet
few temptations are greater to the natural
man than the extravaganza OF going into
debt. 1t is so pleasant, so easy. One sees
something he wants, and thinks how much
nicer, how much easier to take it now and
say charge it, than to go entirely without
it, or wait months before, with self denial
and hard work, he has saved enough to buy
and pay for it, But the thing must be paid
for, if you are to be an honest man, and
more must be paid if you take it on credit.
1t should be the principle of every one who
would AVOID failure, VINO WOulu secure pros
perity, never, never to 60 beyond his income;
never, never, to run in debt. Pay as you go;
stop when you cannot pay.-G. B. Beecher.
A DOG THAT FoRGoT How TO BARK.-Mr.
Darwin might turn to some account story
which is told in the German papers about the
manner in which an intelligent dog adapted
himself to his condition. A deaf and dumb
lady, living in German city, had as a COM
panion younger woman, who was also deaf
and dumb. They lived in a small set of rooms
opening on the public corridor of the house.
Somebody gave the elder lady a little dog as a
present. For some time, when ever anybody
rang the bell at the door, the dog barked to
call the attention of the mistress. The dog
soon discovered, however, that neither the
bell nor the barking made any impression on
the woman, and he took to the practice of
merely pulling one of them by the dress with
his teeth, in order to explain that some one
was at the door. Gradually the dog ceased to
bark altogether, and for more than seven years
before his death, he remained as mute as his
two "companions." When expression by
sound. was useless, it fell with him into abso-
lutte disuse.

Gods own appointed agency. The days for
miracles have passed, but Gods bounties
have not ceased to come. but we find them in
The channel of his own appointed way.
When the farmer prays for an abundant har-
vest, he works vigorously ~, expecting God to
bless his work when we pray for the attain
ment of any result in life, we are energetic
in the use of the agencies by which the de
,ired object is attainable; when the convc
ted soul prays for an interest in the Saviour's
blood, he seeks salvation through the ordi
nances that God has given for this very pur-
pose. In grace, no less than in nature and
providence, we must recognize the cause and
result, and God as the giver of both, yet on
Iy giving us the Que as we use the other.
Consequently, when Nehemiah prayed for
leliverance from enemies, he worked the
harder to rebuild the walls, and prepared
himself to repel the assault that might be
made. God will not work miracle for US
when He has given us the way by which we
might obtain 1t, but He honors' those who
honor Him in His appointed agencies.
We find an answer to our prayers in the
dispensations of providence. The circum.
stances of life are over ruled by God so that
he brings about His providences in such a
way as to answer the requests of His people
As Mordeca, Esther and the Jews prayed,
The providence of God worked out their de-
liverance. AS Gods people in England and
Scotland prayed, the Invincitle armada OF
the Spanish Phillip was scattered and de:
stroyed. As we pray, we find an answer to
our prayers in God accomplishing by His dis
pensations those things for which we pray.
And thus by our experienre we know that
God rules not only in the armies Of heaven,
but among the inhabitants of earth, and can
add our testimony that he is the hearer and
