The Double Fire-Pot which is used only
under our patent. is one Of the most desr-
able Improvements in Base Burning Stoves.
The lower illumination is between the two
fire pots, and is at all times as bright as the
upper Illumination, and at the same time
the ashes and clinkers are not exposed to
view as in all other stoves which have the
lower illumination opposite the CRATE. A.
least 10 per cent. OF The fuel is saved by the
use of IT, Double Fire. Pot, the heat radiat
ing from between the two fire-pots instead
of through a cast-iron fre-pot as in other
stoves.
The descending fues pass along h-pot
sides and into the base, giving the stove an
unusually large amount of radiating sur

Habits of FAisrespect i'm tI,e
Family.

One of the dangers of home life is this
habit of disrespect ct-that which is bred by
familiarity. People who are all beauty and
sunshine for crowd of strangers, for whom
they have not the slightest affection, and all
.ugliness and gloom for their own, by whose
love they live. The pleasant little pretti:
ness of dress and personal adornment which
mark the desire to please are put on purely
for the admiration of those whose adnira-
tion goes for nothing, while the house COM
panions are treated only to the ragged gown
and threadbare coat, the tousled har and
stubby beard, which, if marking the ease
and comfort, or the sans facon of home, mark
also the indifference and disrespect that 90

Stick to YOsaT. EsspsEa.

The secret of the man who got rich by
sticking to his bush" will bear repetition
even in these times. In answer to ques-
tion how he became so very successful, he
told the following story: -
will tell you how it was. One day when
was lad, a party of boys and girls were
going to pick bIackberries. I wanted to go
with them, but was afraid father would not
let me- When told him what was going
on he at once gave me permission to go with
them. / could hardly contain myself.
rushed into the kitchen, got basket,
and asked mother for a luncheon. l had
the basket on my arm, and was just going
out at the gate when my father called me
back. He took my hand and said in very
gentle voice:
"Joseph, what are you going to do ?"
"To pick berries, l replied.
"Then, Joseph, 1 want to tell You one
thing. 1t is this When you find a pretty
good bush, do not leave it to seek for bet
ter one The other boys and girls will run
about picking a little here and a little there,
passing a good deal of time, and getting but
very few berries"
I went and had capital time. No sooner
had one found bush than he called all the
rest, and they left their several places, and
ran off to the new found treasure. Not
content more than a minute or two in one
place, they ranDleu over the WnOle pasture,
got very tired, and at night had very few
berries.
My fathers words kept running in my
ears, and "stuck to the bush" When l
had done with one found another, and fin
ished that, then 1 took another. When
night came had basket full of ripe ber-
ries, more than all the others put together,
and was not half so tired as they were. |
went home happy. But when l entered |
found my father had taken i'll: He looked
at my basket full of ripe blackberries, and
said "Well done, Joseph. Was l not
right when I told you to always stick to
your bush -
He died in few days after, and had to
make my way in the world as best could
But my fathers words sank deep into my
mind, and never forget the experience of
that blackberry party II stuck to my
bush" When 1 had fair place and was
doing tolerably well, I did not leave it and
spend weeks and months seeking one [
thought might. be little better. When
other young men said, "Come with us and
we will make a fortune i'll few weeks" l
shook my head and stuck to my bush. Pres
emily my employers offered to take me into
business with them. I stayed with the old
house until the principals died, and then
had everything I wanted: The habit OF
sticking to my business led people to trust
me and gave me a character, ] owe all !
have to this motto "Stick to your bush. ="

Influence of Newspapers.

A school teacher who had been engaged a
long time in his profession, and witnessed
the influence of a newspaper upon the minds
of family and children, writes as follows !:
" / have found it to be a universal fact with
out exception, that scholars of both sexes
and all ages, who have access to newspapers
at home when compared with those who
have not, are .... ::
l. Better readers, excellent in pronuncia-
tion, and consequently read more under
standingly. :,
2. They are better spoilers and define
words with ease and accuracy. .
3. They obtain practical knowledge OF
geography in about half the time it requires
the others, as the newspapers have made
them acquainted with the location of i'm
portant places, of nations, their government
and doings on the globe. -
4. They are better gramnarians for having
become SO familiar with every variety !. OF
style in the newspaper, from the common
place advertisement to the finished and clas-
steal oration of the statesman, they more
readily comprehend the meaning of the text,
and constantly analyze its construction with
accuracy. -,..
5. Those young men who have tor years
been readers of newspapers are always tax
ing the lead in debating societies, exhibiting
a more extensive knowledge, greater yarl'
ETY. of subjects, and expressing their views
with greater Auency, clearness and correct
ness

Source of Personal Beauty.
To be continued.

A berutiful person is the natural form OF
a beautiful soul. The mind builds its own
house. The soul takes precedence of the
body, and shapes the body to its own like
ness. A vacant mind takes all the meaning
out of the fairest face A sensual dssposi-
tion deforms the handsomest features A
cold, selfish heart shrivels and distorts the
best looks. A mean, groveling spirit takes
all the dignity out of the figure and all the
character out of the countenance. A cher
ishcd hatred transforms the most beautiful
lineaments into an image of ugliness. 1t is
as impossible to preserve good looks with a
brood of bad passions feeding on the blood,
set of low loves tramping through the
heart, and selfish, disdainful spirit en-
throned in the will, as to preserve the beau
ty of an elegant mansion with litter OF
swine in the basement, a tribe of gipsles IN
the parlor, and owls and vultures in the up
per part. Badness and beauty will no more
keep company than poison will censcrs
with health, or an elegant carving sur
vive the furnace fire. The experiment of
putting them together has been tried for
thousands of years. but with one unvarylng
result There is nothing that so rehnes,
Dolishes, and ennobles face and mien as the
constant presence of great thoughts. The
man who lives in the region of ideas, moon
beams though they be, becomes ldeailzed.
There are arts, no gymnastics, no cos
metics, which can contribute tlthe SO
much of the dignity, the strength, the en-
nobling of mans looks, as great purpose,
a high determination a noble principle, an
unquenchable enthusiasm. But more pow
erful still than any of these as beautifier
of the person is the overmasterlng purpose
and pervading disposition of kindness In the
heart. Affection is the organizing force in
the human constitution. Woman is fairer
than man because she has more affection
than man. loneliness is the outside of love.
Kindness, sweetness, good will, prevailing
desire and determination to make others
happy, make the body temple of the Holy
Ghost. The soul that is full of pure and
generous affections, fashions and features in
to its own angelic likeness, as the rose by
inherent impulse grows IN grace and BIOS
some into loveliness which art cannot equal
Theirs is nothing ON earth which so quickly
transfgures personality, reines, exalts,
irradiates with heavens own impress of love-
illness, as a pervading, prevailing kindness
of the heart. The angels are beautiful be-
cause they are good, and God is beautiful
because He is love.-Christian Globe.

WITTY GIRLS. :,

"Don't put too fine a point to your wit, "
said Cervantes, ''for fear it should get
blunted'' He spoke tc men; if he had been
addressing young women, he might have
said: Don't put too fine point to your
tickle Men don't take kindly to the sharp,
clever young woman who is always hurting
her shafts of wit. They not only believe,
with Shakespeare, that ''soft, gentle and
low voice, is ''an excellent thing in women, "
but that it should be accompanied by gentle
manners and tender heart. The Philadel-
phia Times utters thoughts about the too.

Occasional indulgerice in repartee with a
bright man or woman is entertaining, but if

ent one lays himself or herself open to the

talk with a girl who will do nothing but cut

body cares to live constantly on spiced meats.

RUB OR RUST.

Idler, why lie down and die?
Better rub than rust.
Hark the lark sings in the sky,
Die when thou must
Day is waking, leaves are shaking;
Better rub than rust
In the grave there's sleep enough
Better rub than rust
Death, perhaps, is hunger-proof,
Die when die thou must
Men are moving, breezes blowing,
Better rub than rust.
He who will not work shall want.
Naught for naught is just
Won't do, must do when he can't !;
Better rub than rust.
Bees are flying, sloth is dying;
Better rub than rust.

None are too wise to be mistaken, but
few are so wisely just as to acknowledg and
correct their mistakes, and especially the
mistakes of prejudice.
Poverty never did any man the least good.
No man is richer, or happier, or wiser for it.
1t commends no one to society; it is dis
gusting to the refined, and abominable to
the good.
Every year of our lives we grow more
convinced that it is the wisest and best te
fix our attention on the beautiful and the
good, and dwell as little - possible on tne
evil and the false

WATCHING ONE's-sELF.-"When 1 was a
boy" said an old man, '.we had school
master who had an odd way of catching
idle boys One day he called out to us:
"' Boys, I must have closer attention to
your books. The first one that sees another
idle, want him to inform me, and l will
attend to the case
"Ah," thought to myself. " there is Joe
Simmons that don't like. I'll watch him,
and if I see him looking off his book, I'll
tell" 1t was not long before'I saw Joe
look off his book, and Immediately l in
formed the master.
Indeed !" said he; chow do you know
he was idle ,"
81 saw him." said;
"You did? and were your eyes on your
book when You saw him ?"
l was caught, and never watched for idle
boys again.
If we are sufficiently watchful over our
own conduct, we shall have no time to find
fault with the conduct of others.
