Nothing adds more TO the happiness
OF home life than true politeness shone
at all times among the different members
of the family toward each other.
1t is singular fact that most people
treat those they love best with the leasi
respect; and this is probably the great
cause of inharmony in many homes.
Husbands, do you not remember in
your courting days how particular You
were IN your action, conversation and
personal appearance?
And wives, have you forgotten how
you always took care to appear TO the
best advantage when your lover was
present?
All! surely many of you, husbands and
wives. have forgotten one thing, and that
is, to cultivate politeness In your homes;
and consequently your children seem
ingiy have no respect for father, mother,
sister nor brother.
Some may argue that an adherence to
| the rules OF politeness brings about too
| much formality in the home circle. Bet
| ter a little formallty that too much
familiarity in expression or action.
Should son treat another lady with
more marked respect than his mother ;
| Should daughter treat another's father
with more veneration than her own?
Is there q place IN the universe where
the gem CT loving hearts should shine
more brightly than in the home?
Then cultivate politeness; it is tina
which will keep inharmony from You
| door and bind the household together II

Hunter, the Greyhound.
By MRS. N. L. BALDWIN.

Come, little ones; gather around me.
Come close as you can. The more of you
there are and the nearer you get to me
the better, for I love to tell you stories.
I like to see the bright eyes grow
brighter, the dimples in the cheeks and
smiles On the rosy lips; for dearly love
good little children, andsI like to make
them happy.
lam going to tell you some true stories
about dogs. Let me see Which shall /
tell first?
Hunter, the greyhound, did you say,
Master Harry? Well, then, here it is:
Many years ago family, friends of
mine, moved from an Eastern city, way
out West, where the country was all new,
and most of the people lived in log
houses. There were few roads over the
prairies and the wild deer were very
plentiful.
A neighbor of my friends owned a fine,
white greyhound. Perhaps some of you
have never seen greyhound; SO I viii
tell You that they are very slender dogs,
with long legs, sharp noses and bright
eyes; they can see long distance and
run very fast.
This dog was named hunter. He used
often to come with his master to the
house of my friend; and he had a way OF
making himself quite at home when
there. He would scratch at the door
when he came, and when it was opened
for him, would walk right in and stretch
himself on the rug in front of the blazing
wood fire; and sometimes when he found
himself too warm there, would take q
place on the sofa without waiting to be
asked.
I am sorry that he was not very care
full about keeping clean. He used to
come sometimes with very muddy feet,
and his nice, white coat all soiled with
mud; but if he was turned from the door
las he was sure to be when IN this
plight--he would jump in at the first open
window he could find, and make himself
quite as much at home as if he were
clean. My friend, who was very neat
and particular in all his ways, ct last
kept q long whip where he could get it
quickly when needed, and would drive
the dog away whenever he came with
muddy feet
Hunters master had gone from home,
and he seemed lonely and restless, and
made frequent calls at the house of my
friend, as If he was looking for his mas
ter.
One night the family were all gath
cred around the fire, when they heard
the well-known scratch at the door; and
when il was opened there stood Hunter,
but instead Of running into the house
and settling before the fire, as he was in
the habit Of doing, he stood outside,
wagged his tail and whined. He would
not come in until called and coaxed for
some timer and when be did come into
the lighted room, my friends were
shocked 10 see hiia covered with blood.
They examined his body, but found no
wounds. He was 20 uneasy and seemed
90 anxious to get ont that they opened
the door for him, but he was not satis-
fed to go alone, At last one Of the

per cent. reduction in wages has been
posted in the Lancaster mills and short
time and a reduction of wages in the
mills near Stockport. Operators of two
large mills at Mosseiy have struck against
reduction posted at other mills. Not any
thing like SO serious in its effects upon the
condition of work people as the measure
of reduction appears TO indicate, though
ut the present moment the cotton indus
try is overshadowed by menacing clouds.
There are already clearly diicernible
signs of returning prosperity. The in
portance of favorable rains in Asia can
hardly be exaggerated, and we can rea-
sonDly hope that next year India and
China will be prosperous. The revival of
enterprise in America also means a re-
newaI of activity in international trade.
Collecting Troops.
The authorities of India have been no.
titled that dragons and lancers, two regi-
ments of infantry and three batteries of
artillery will arrive from Natal before the
5th of November.
A special dispatch from India says that
two regiments of Highlanders and two
regiments of native troops are moving up
the kuram valley, and that two regi-
ments of native cavalry and one British
and two native regiments of infantry are
now on their way to the Kuram valley.

The Harvest In France.
FRANCE, Sept. 12- Twenty-eight million
francs worth of French gold will leave

detailed annual statement relative to the
French harvest, Estienne, a great agri-

very good in four departments, good in
seven, fair in "A, poor in 40, bad in 10.
This year the aggregate crop will be nine

The Necessity for Pure Air.

Night air and damp weather are held
In great horror by multitudes of persons
who are sickly or of weak constitutions;
consequently, by avoiding the night air,
and damp weather, and changeable
weather, and weather that is considered
too hot or too cold, they are kept within
doors much the largest portion OF the
time; and, as a matter of course, con-
tinue invalids, more and more ripening
for the grave every hour. The reason is,
they are breathing an impure atmos-
phere nineteen -twentieths OF their whole
existence.
As nothing can wash ms clean but pure
water, so nothing can cleanse the blood,
nothing can make health giving blood,
but the agency Of pure air. So great is
the tendency of the blood to become inn
pure IN consequence Of waste and use-
less matter, mixing with it as it passes
through the body, that It requires
hogshead of air every hour of our lives
to unload it of these impurities. But in
proportion as this sir is yitilated. IN such
proportion does It infallab1y fail to re-
lieve the blood of these impurities, and
impure blood is the foundation OF all
disease. The great fact that those who
are out OF doors most, summer and win
ter, day and night, rain and shine, have
the best health the world over. does of
itself falsify the general impression that
night air or any Other outdoor sir is mn
healthy as compared with indoor air at
the same time.
Air is the great necessity Of life. 50
much so, that if deprived of it for mo-
ment We perish; and 80 constant is the
necessity Of the blood for contact with
the atmosphere that every drop in the
body is exposed to the air through the
medium of the lungs every two minutes
and half of our existences
Whatever may be the impurify Of the
outdoor air of any locality, the indoor
air of that locality is still mere impure
because of the dust, and decsyinR and
odoriferous matters which are found u
all dwellings. Besides, how can IN
door air be more healthy than the out
door air, other things being equal, when
the dwelling is supplied with sir from
without.
To this very general law there Is one
exception, which is of the greatest I'M
portance to note. When the daya are
hot, and the nights cool, there are Pc
riods Of time within each twenty -four
hours when it is safest 10 be indoors
with doors and windows closed; that i
to say, for the hour or two including
sunrise and sunset, because about SUM-
set the air cools, and the rapors which
the heats Of the day have caused TO IS.

TEACH WOMEN TO SAVE. There is the
secret! A saving woman at the head of
a family is the very best bank-one re-
ceiving deposits daily and hourly, with
no costly machinery to manage it. The
idea of saving is pleasant one, and if
the women would imbibe it at once they
would cultivate it, and thus, when they
are not aware of it, would be laying the
foundation of competent security in o
stormy time and shelter in rainy day.
The woman who sees to her own house
has large field to save in. The best
way to make her comprehend it is to
keep an account of all current expenses.
Probably not one woman in ten has
an idea of how much are the expen-
ditures of herself and family. Where
from one to two thousand dollars are
expended annually, there is chance
to save something if the effort is made.
Let the wife take the idea, act upon it,
and she viii save many dollars where be-
fore she thought it impossible; and can
afford to take good newspapers and buy
instructive books for her children. This
is duty, yet not prompting OF avarice,
hut moral obligation that rests upon
women as well as men.

ers can aot be too watchful of the health
of their children at this season of the
year If they would save them from sick
ness. While we believe in, and advo-
cate the free use of ripe fruits, great care
is required to prevent children from de.
vouring the unripe and partially decayed
trash that is exposed for sale on the
street corners IN all cities for any CON
siderable size. The anxiety Of the farm.
ers to secure high prices by getting
their products into market early, tempts
them to commence picking all kinds Of
fruit before it is properly ripened. Uu-
thinking and ignorant parents permit
their children to eat this unwholesome
stuff; and the result in too many cases is
severe illness followed by death, and the
laying away Of little creatures in the
silent tomb.

EUROPEAN Perry One
of the chief bless ings of being q citizen
of the United States is that freedom from
a host of minute and distressing regula-
tions which weigh with almost crushing
force upon the inhabitants of France
and Germany. In England, too, the
petty rules and laws are almost suffoca-
ting. It is their uselessness against
which the American rebels, but when he
ventures to demonstrate In Europe, he
encounters only cold indifference or
open hostility. He is looked upon as
more or less inimical to order because
he does not believe in being ordered all
the time. 81 have bought and sold

American lady to an agent of the Paris

through simply for introducing gas pipes
into my apartment. There were ever SO
many papers to sign; there were men
who came to watch other men, and other
men who came to watch and inspect them:
and the fuss became intolerable. One
day an Englishman living in quiet
street in Paris, took fancy he would
like to keep a pig in his back yard. What
was his amazement on discovering that
permission must be had from certain
! municipal authorities before the animal
could be maintained on the premises.
OFF he went grumbling, like the true
Englishman he was. He was sent to one
Office where he had to sign little paper
and pay q few sous; then to another,
where he had to get some ones signature
and disburse more SOUS Then he was
directed to yet another administration

employee, who was too polite to allow

could scarcely repress smile. It took

tect that pig than il did to write the

CHANGING q Climate.


The influence Of mar upon climate
has been a favorable subject Of late
years, and it is now well know that by
cutting down forests and draining the
soil man can materially change the eli
mate Of a country. Some recent expert
ments conducted in Germany confirm
this belief by showing the extent to
which woods will effect the rainfall.
Two ob~servatories were established for
the purpose of comparison-one over a
clump of pine trees forty feet high, and
the other over a sandy plain about three
hundred and thirty yards from the
wood. Both of the observatories were
built at the same height from the
ground. Twelve months observation
showed that the total rainfall within
that period ten per cent. more rain fell
i've the trees than over the bare land,
distant three hundred yards from
them,

The Probable Sale of Palestine.


When Baron Rothschild, many years
ago, offered to purchase the whole of
Palestine from the late sultan, the lat
ter declined on the plea that his people
would eve consent. But the neces-
stiles Of Turkey have now reached such
a pass that it would be not at all diff
icult for great powers of Europe to
weld Egypt and Palestine into one large
semi-independent province under their
joint protection. European capital and
European enterprise would effect in a
few years what apthetic Turkey has
not achieved in as many centuries.
The blowing up of a few rocks and the
erection Of q substantial breakwater
would tdrn the miserable roadstead Of
Jaffa into the com modious harbor. A
very slight amount Of irrigation would
work wonders on the Plain of Sharon,
where the corn even now grows as high
as the knee of a nan sitting on horse
back. The vineyards along the hill
sides around Jerusalem, still flourish
ing after ages of havoc, might rival
those o.. the Guadalquivir in competent
hands. Jewish traders and craftsmen,
numerous in the Holy Land Us it is,
would flock thither by thousands when
once assured of safety to life and pro-
perty; and the share of revenue which
the sultan would receive from the re-
constructed province would far exceed
the whole of what he draws from it in
its present state.
