Live Up to the Notices.

There is no use in putting up the motto "God bless our home," if the father is a rough old bear, and the spirit of disco@rtesy and rudeness is taught by parents to children, and by the older to the younger. There is no use in putting up the motto "The Lord will provide, D while the father is shiftless, the mother IS shiftless, the boys refuse to work, and the girls busy themselves over gewgaws and inery. There is no use in putting up the motto "The greatest of these is charity" while the tongue of the back bitter wags in the family, and silly gossip is dispensed at the tea-table. There is no use in placing conspicuously the motto "The liberal man deviseth liberal things" while the money chinks in the pockets of the "head of the household, '' grooming to get out and see tho light of day, and there are dollars and dimes for wine and tobacco and other luxuries, but positively not one cent for the church. In how many homes are these notices standing-let us say, hanging-sarcasms, which serve only to point Q jest and adorn satire The beauty of quiet lives, of trustful, hopeful, free handed, free hearted, charitable lives, is one of surpassing loveliness, and those lives shed their own incompatible fragrance, and the world knows where to find them. And they still remain fresh and fadeless when the colors of the pigment and the floss have faded, and the very frames have routed AWAY in their joints.

A Judicial View of the Small Boy

In case in which @ railroad company was sued for injuries, caused by turn table upon which the plaintiffs son was playing, the Kansas Supreme Court pre- sented this judicial view of the small boy :-
 Everybody knows that by nature and by instinct boys love to ride, and love to move by other means than their own locomotion. They will cling to the hind ends of moving wagons, ride upon swings and swinging gates, slide upon cellar doors and the rails of stair cases, pull sleds up hill in order to ride down upon them on the snow, and even pay to ride upon imitation horses and imitation chariots swung around in @ circle by means of steam or horse power. This last is very much like riding around in circle upon a turn-table. Now everybody, knowing the nature and the instincts common to all boys, must act accordingly. No person has a right to leave, even on his own land, dangerous machinery calculated to attract and en- tice boys to it, there to be injured, un- less he first takes proper steps to guard against all danger; and any person who thus does leave dangerous machinery ex- posed without first providing against all danger, is guilty of negligence"

The Potter and His Boy.

Years ago, Park Benjamin wrote the following lines, descriptive of some aus tere-looking, reserved poet:
 "With feelings warm as those bright jets which
 From frozen Iceland's mountain wastes of snow."
 The lines were recalled to us by read ing this anecdote of Scotch affection and tenderness concealed under cold manner. Tie writer says: "Once I knew working man, potter by busi- ness, who had one small invalid child at home. He wrought at his trade with exemplary fidelity, being always in the shop with the opening of day.
 "He managed, however, to bear each evening to the bedside of the 'wee lad, , as he called him, flower, or bit of rib bon, fragment of crimson glass, indeed anything that would lie out on the white counterpane, and give color in the room.
 "He was quiet, unsentimental Scotch man; but he never went home at night fall without some toy or trinket, showing he had remembered the wan face that lit up so when he came in. presume he never said to living soul that he loved that boy so much. Still he went on patiently loving him.
 "And by-and-by he moved that whole shop into positively real but unconsci- ous fellowship with him. The workmen made curious little jars and teacups upon their wheels, and painted diminu- tive pictures down the sides before they stuck them in the corners of the kiln of burning lime.
 cone brought some fruit in the bulge of his apron, and another some engrav- ings in rude scrap-book. Not one of them whispered word, for this solemn thing was not to be talked about. They put them in the old mans hat, where he found them so he understood all about it.
 "And I tell you seriously, that entire pottery full of men, of rather coarse fibre by nature, grew quiet as the months drifted, becoming gentle and kind, and some of the ungoverned ones stopped swearing as the weary look on the pa- tient fellow-wo1ker' face told them be- yond any mistake that the inevitable shadow was drawing nearer.
 "Every day now somebody did piece of his work for him, and put it up on the sanded plank to dry; thus he could come later and go earlier.
 "So, when the bell tolled, and the little coffin came out of the lowly house, right around the corner, out of sight, there stood hundred stalwart working men from the pottery, with their clean clothes on, most of whom gave 8 half doy of tinne for the privilege of taking off their hats to the simple procession, filing in behind it, and following across the village green to it's grave that small burden of child, which probably not one of them had ever seen with his own eyes,"

The City of Lima.

Lima, the capital of Peru, seems to be doomed, as the Chilian Admiral, by ac- counts from Panama, has threatened that the city will, when taken, be given up to destruction. Its present popula- tion is something over 17O,OOo, and it's generally splendid public buildings en- title it to the distinction of the hand somest capital in South America Standing on an extensive plain, which rises gradually from the sea, it makes a magnificent appearance as viewed from Callao, with it's many domes and spires glittering in the sun. The Rimac flows through the city, and is crossed by Q superb stone bridge of six arches, built more than two and half centuries ago. The bridge connects the city proper with the suburb, San Lazaro, containing two delightful promenades, bordered by double rows of trees. Lima is sur rounded by brick walls eighteen to twenty-five feet high, and nine feet thick at the top; their circuit belng some nine miles. The streets are thirty three feet wide, cross each other at right angles, and divide the town into about 200 squares. The common houses are low and irregularly built of adobes, with partition wall and roofs of cane and plaster; preferred to more solid material on account of the frequency of earth quakes and the extreme rarity of rain. They have, for the most part, no win dows toward the street, the sma Ter houses having only a door, and glass lantern over it. The larger houses have great folding doors opening into the street and leading into the courtyard, (patio, after the manner of houses in Southern Europe. Through the centre of the streets flow small streams, (run- ming parallel with the river,) and along their margins are throngs of buzzards which act as scavengers. On the east side of the city stands the massive stone cathedral in which Pizarro was buried sitter his assassination. The city was founded by him Jan. 6, 1885, the festival of the Epiphany.

The Lime-KiIn Club.

The President of the Concord Schoo of Philosophy forwarded letter to the club, asking Brother Gar dner if his ex' perience with wasps had demonstrated the alleged fact that only female wasps use their stingers, and solici iting an early reply.
 My 'sperience wid wasps runs back ober half century," replied the old man as he passed along the letter, ' an yit de only fack eber demonstrated am dat I break fur de bushes on de gallop, an nebber once stop to ax which sex dey belongs to-"
 JUSTLY REBUKED.
 Elder Toots suddenly woke up. This unusual proceeding on his part attracted immediate attention, and considerably disturbed the meeting, and order had scarcely been restored when he arose and said:
 "I am 'structed by my constituents to move dat dis entire club go on a 'scursion to Niagara Falls, an dat de 'spenses of de trip be paid from de gin- eral fund"
 Had the roof of Paradise Hall been suddenly lifted by cyclone the aston ishment could not have been greater. For full minute no one spoke. Then Brother Gardner slowly arose and re- piled:
 "Elder Toots; de f11st var of your membership you did muffin but set down on our hats an step on our feet. De second var you took to fallin' asleep when de meetin' begun an wakin' up when de las man frew water on your bald head. Now, in your third var, you suddenly wake up as crazy as rail fence an make grab at de treasury. You talk about your constituents !! Why, press your dear ole soul, you doan know whedder de word means new way of makin' apple-sass or the ole way of eatin' pumpkin pie wid Q spoon! Sot down, Elder Toots, sot down l"
 The Elder still kept his feet, and was about to go off in another speech when the Committee on Order and Ejectment took Lim into the ante-room and poured water down his back, and sent him home with the promise to give him some more Niagara Falls at the next meeting.- Detroit Free Press.

A Mothers Love.

A brave woman, disguised beyond week in order to recover her child. Finally she discovered that the little one had been left in a house at Atchison. She drove at once to the retreat. Not knowing who she was or what she came for, the family opened the door at her bidding and allowed her to enter the house. She stated that she wanted to see the little girl. She was very rest less and uneasy, refusing seat and walking the floor continually until the child appeared. Disguised as the wo- man was, the child recognized her at once and ran into her outstretched arms, crying, "Oh, my mamma" The woman hugged the child close to her breast with one arm and with the other tried to open the door. Failing in this, she called to the driver outside to kick the door in. A scene of excitement ensued, and for few moments there was des- perate struggle between the family and the determined woman, the family en- deavoring to retain their charge, and the mother struggling to rescue it. The driver without finally succeeded in fore ing the door open, and the woman with her child in her arms was free. She placed the child in the carriage, enter. ed herself, drew pistol, and pointing il at the terrified family, said, "Come an6 take my child," and the hackman drove off

The Cotton Worm.

The chief Chronological Commissioner of the Republic has, according to Q Southern dispatch, just addressed the | Cotton Exchange at Mobile on the sub- | ject of the cotton worm, now threatening much damage to the growing crop. The worm, the caterpillar of an owlet moth, | is of triangular shape, about an inch long, the upper wings of reddish gray, and the under wings darker. It has sixteen legs; but the formost are so short that in creeping it arches the back like a span worm. The color is green, with | light yellow stripes and black dots along the back. It grows often to the length of an inch and half. Its eggs are ten to fifteen, deposited on the under surface of the tender leaves, which they re- semble in color, and to which they are firmly attached. Incubation lasts from six to fifteen days, depending, probably, on the degree of heat !; the young grows rapidly, and begins very early to eat. | The skin is changed several times before the insect has attained full growth, fif- teen to twenty days, after which it ceases to feed, forming an imperfect cocoon of leaf and silk. In this the chrysalls state is passed-from ten to twelve days after which the moth lays its eggs and dies in about @ week, though it has been held that it survives mild winters. The worm is exceedingly destructive some years, having occasionally cut off the entire cotton crop. in certain districts. Its appearance is often so sudden and unaccountable that it is thought that it must migrate from the South. Its harm fitness was first noticed some eighty years ago, since when its ravages have been almost every year more or less serious. Some persons believe that the worm appears in the same districts at intervals of three years, and that its greatest mischief is done every twenty one years. At least, 1894, 1895, and 1916 were memorable in this regard. It may appear any time between June and October. Moderate cold will kill it, though moisture and high winds have no perceptible effect. While 1t devours with entire impartiality the long and short staple, it seldom touches any other plant. When it is found early in the season, it is apt to have three broods. It probably originates in South America, and when the last brood has expired, either from cold or hunger, it is SUD- posed that it leaves no progeny behind. A single moth will lay 500 eggs, and as three broods are now probable, great damage may be done unless early cor rectives be applied.

"Reminiscences of BIackflshing.

The greatest excitement on Cape Cod, says local letter, is when Q school of blackfsh appear off the shore. Then the enthusiasm knows no bounds. The cry blacktish P will startle the whole village like the cry of |" fire, " although it will not awaken the same emotions. The alarm is sounded and re echoed through the streets, men, women and children rushing over the hills to the bay in hot pursuit; and there is reason for this ex- citement, as there is "money in it. " Every boat that can be obtained is filled with an eager and anxious crew, for every one who joins in the chase gets his "share" in the profits, no matter who he or she may be. The fish are driven in to the shore and killed for the blubber and the excellent quality of oil which is taken from the jaw bones and used for oiling the works of watches. A great deal of money is made in this way, and often times single "share will amount to fifty or seventy-fve dollars, while ten or fifteen dollars is almost al- ways received.
 There are many amusing stories told about the appearance of blaclzfish. On one occasion when services were being held in the village church, the minister being engaged in his sermon, some one in the street cried out "blackfsh p Many in the congregation heard it and rush made for the door, when the minister cried out "stop!" Some turned about, expecting to be reproved, but the minister in his excitement only said, "Now all take fair start," and joined the crowd himself; and when pursuing the fish shouted out, " Hallelujah Hal lelujah P He got his share, which amounted to $25. At another time one man who had failed to put in an appear ance until the fish were driven in claimed his share, as he had not heard the alarm as soon as the others. A town meeting had to be called to settle the matter, and though it was unanimous vote that his share was forfeited, yet he pleaded his case so eioquently that 'half share i" was voted him.

Sad Fate of m Old Bachelor.

The blessed baby had been bowling in the street car for nine blocks, until every body in the car had escaped except q bald-headed old Galvestonian, who rub bed the top of his dome of thought, scowled, stamped, fumed. and gave other evidences of being annoyed.
 "I hope the baby don't disturb you, sir" said the mother pleasantly.
 "No, madam, it does not" he said, savagely gritting his teeth.
 CT am so glad I was afraid 1t did little tootsy, wootsy, yum, yum, yum!'
 "No, madam, it don't disturb me, " he said still more savagely. "Little tootsy fiddle-sticks only disturbs people in the adjoining county. It has made chat. tering idiot of ne five blocks ago" and springing through the car window he gave maniacal ha ! ha ha and disap peared around corner.

An Innocent Mule.
TACKLES BEE HIVE AND BREAKS UP A
 PICNIC.

On Saturday, ill Talbot county, Ga., local paper says, the colored people gave picnic, to which their friends in the surrounding country were invited. The forenoon was passed in an enjoyable manner, nothing occurring to mar the pleasure of the party. The dinner was all that could be wished, and after dis posing of it many engaged in the dance. The fun continued for an hour or so, when several shouts near at hand caused all to run in that direction, when most ludicrous sight was presented. A long, meek looking mule had his ears set for ward, and was doing his utmost to de- molish with his heels Q couple of the hives. The bees were resenting the at tack, and in large numbers were stinging him. This caused his muleship to kick more wildly. Several attempted to unite the animal, but came off with face and hands covered with bees. By this time the party were forced to scatter on ac- count of the bees, which by this time were attacking all whom they met. All sought protection ln house. One man was seen on the outside and told to come in, but said he had seen no bees. In about minute one struck him between the eyes and he beat nasty retreat, say ing he had found them. At last some one succeeded in cutting the halter and the mule made dash equal to that of Sut Lovingood's daddy when the hornets were after him, and acted just about in the same manner. This broke up the picnic. The mule had been borrowed by negro, whom he had kicked about year since, and for revenge, it is sup posed, the darkey tied him near the hives. One of the bees stung him o's the leg and in an instant pair of legs were seen as flash of lightning going back ward, and hive almost completely de- molished, The fun then began.

AMONG THE MooRs. Jew, named Jacob Adahan, residing in the small town of Entifa, had, during the last years famine, afforded shelter and food to poor Moori 4h woman, and she was treated as a servant of his household, The Governor of that town, Sid Abdallah Zuaggi, had only few months entered on his public functions, and hearing that Jew ventured to employ Moorish woman, he determined upon setting an intimidating example. He caused Jacob Adahan to be fastened to the ground with two iron spikes, and to be lashed until portions of the poor mans flesh fell off from the body. Adahan died after having been subjected to a torture lasting six hours. The dead body was then thrown into stable, and was only delivered up to the Jews, who wished to bury it, after they had paid the Cover nor bribe of $SO. He also confiscated the property of the martyred Jew.

Two gentlemen have lately been endeav- bring to recover property from the wreck, and have found great number of coins, gold, silver and copper. There is a tradition that the daughters of a Col. Campbell were saved, and became the wives of natives, and it is certain that near the Umgazi River is small tribe of very light-colored Kaffirs, des- cended, it is supposed, from these ladies.
