A Happy Home.

A pretty story about German family
discloses tae secret of a happy home,
wherein JOY aboundesh, though there are
many to feed and clothe:
A teacher once lived in Strasburg who
had hard work to support his family.
His chief Joy in life, however, was in his
nine children, though it was no light
task to feed them all. His brain would
have rceled and his heart sunk. had he
not trusted in his heavenly Father, when
he thought of the number of jackets,
shoes. stockings and dresses they would
need III the course of year, and of the
quantity of bread and potatoes they
would cat.
His house, too, was very close quar-
tiers for the many beds and cribs, to
say nothing of the room required for the
noise and fun which the merry nine
made.
But father and mother managed very
well, and the house was pattern of
neatnes5 and order.
One day there came O guest to the
house. AS they sat at dinner the stran-
ger, looking at the hungry children
about the table, said compassionately,
''Poor man, what cross you have to
bear!"
81? A cross to bear?' asked the
father, wonderingly; "what do you
mean?"
"Nine children, and seven boys at
that" replied the stranger, adding Bit
terly, 81 have but two, and each of them
is nail in my coffin"
"liine are not, said the teacher with
decision.
GLOW does that happen?" asked the
guest.

noble art of obedience. Isn't that SO,

eyes" cried the children.
"And you obey me willingly" The
two little girls laughed roguishly, but
the seven youngsters shouted, eyes, dear
father, truly"
Then the father turned to the guest
and said, "Sir, if death were to come in
at that door, waiting to take one of my
nine children, l would Say'-and here
he pulled off his velvet cap and hurled
it at the r-"Rascal, who cheated
you into thinking that l had one too
many?"
The stranger sighed; he saw that it
was only disobedient children that make
father unhappy.
One of the nine children of the poor
schOolmaster afterward became widely
known; he was the sanity pastor Ober-

USEFUL HINTS

Do NOT let coffee and tea be kent near
each other, unless closely covered in fin
cannisters, as they are easily lmnreo-
mated, and the flavor of each injured.
ADVICE TO MOTHERS. -Give your baby
plenty of milk; do not, however, give t
any curd. neither let it have its whey,
Above all things. treat your infant kindly,
but not cordially.
STAINS of iron on marble may be re-
moved by wetting the spots with oil of
vitriol, lemon juice, or oxalic acid di-
luted In spirits of wine. Leave spots for
a quarter of an hour, then rub dry with
a soft linen cloth.
Too GHT.-Any woman is too tightly
dressed who cannot raise her arms
straight up above her head and clasp her
hands, who cannot stoop to tie her shoe,
or pick up a pin without heightened
color. Stupid as is the mistake of the
tight shoe, it is seldom compared to
tght-laclng, which, less painful, is more
nnrelentlngly INDUCED, and like pain
less poison, saps the beauty, the grace,
the lie, from Its unfortunate victims.
CUTTING carpet rags is dusty work,
and many object to doing it unless in an
unused room. This is often impossible
and the necessity for so doing is greatly
obviated by cushioning the top and COW
ering the sides of an empty cheese box
and keeping it to hold this work. and
will make good footstool when closed.
If then partition is put across the in
side, and pocket added to hold scissors,
thread and thimbles, it will be very con-
venient and useful.
A DISTINGUISHED scholar and writer
recently said: 81 founder in a sea of
scraps" Ia these days, when the papers
contain so many fine sentiments, beau
tiful descriptions, touching incidents,
items of Importance, and matters of per-
manent interest, culled from all depart
ments of life, there is scarcely a day in
which something does not strike the eye
which the reader wishes to preserve, In
order to remember and perhaps to use.
| One OF the first things a right boy or
| girl should make is a scrap book Of
things which interest most Ii you have
no book, put your selections in different
envelopes, according to subjects. The
newspaper is circulating library, with
little OF everything in it, and little for
everybody. Make sure of your part of it
es you read.
A Few WORDS ABOUT CANARIEs.
naries should have all through the year
German summer rape, Sicily canary and
millet seeds mixed in equal parts, and
care should be taken to have the seeds
fresh and of the best quality. In addi-
ton to the seeds, feed canaries daily
one-fourth part of a hard-boiled egg,
both yelk and white, and mix with it as
much cracker dust as can be taken up
on 10-cent. piece. Fresh water, both
for drinking and the bath, and plenty of
coarse, washed gravel daily, will usually
keep a bird in health. Twice a week
give it piece of sweet apple or lettuce.
If the bird has not yet finished moult-
ing, keep him in an even temperature
of about 65 or 70 degrees, and let him
hang where there is no possibility of a
draught blowing on him. If not yet in
song, hang half-inch strip of raw fat
salt pork in the cage, and let him peck
| at it for a week or two

Jamie wanted to sell some flowers we

I wouldn't have let him go, but you see
he stole out, and 1 didn't know it. And
what should he wear out but your old
comforter, for when he came home he

"What is the matter, mother 2"
"He came home chilled, and the old

Fanny went to the mean little bed in
the corner. There was Jamie, and it
was the little wax peddler also. He had
opened his eyes. "That is the one,

Jamie, I brought back your rose,
couldn't keep it." Fanny had put the
waxen flowers into his hot hands. "I'm
Fanny, you know, yo;r sister,"
"You're SO good" he whispered.
That noon he said, "Mamma won't

In few moments he spoke again: "I'm

Into the shadow of the night, the

Parkes argues that it is fair to assume
that at least $50 tons worth of internal
mechanical work is performed in the
BODY OF an adult man, while the external
work ranges from 800 to 500 tons. II
appears in general, that from one-seventh

of the force leaves the body in the form

She looks to the orchard beyond the lane.
And che catches the gleam Of woman's dress,
As it nutters about in the winds caress.
"That child is glad as the day is long
Her lover is coming, her Ines song"

Floats fragrance faint to the dark'ning room
Where grandma dreams, till a tender grace
And a softer light steal into her face.
For once again she is young and fair,
And twining roses in her hair.
