Take the Pork.

\ Quaker, having been disturbed 10y
footsteps around his dwelling one night,
arose from his bed and cautiously
opened the back door to reconol-
tre. Close by was al clubhouse, ard
under it cellar, near window OF which
was a man busily engaged in receiving
the contents of his pork barrel from an
other in the cellar.
The Quaker approached, and the man
on the outside fled. He stepped up to
the cellar window and received the pork
from the thief within, who after little
time asked his supposed accompllce IN a
whisper
"Shall we take it all?" The owner
of the pork said, softly:
YES. take it all ;" and the thief
handed up the balance through the
window. and then came up himself
Imagine his CONSERVATION when, instead
Of greeting his companion IN crime, he
confronted the Quaker.
Both were astOnished, for the thief
proved to he near neighbor, OF whom
none would have suspected such con-
duct. He pleaded for mercy, begged
him not to expose him, spoke OF the
necessities of poverty, and promised
faithfully not To- steal again.
" Ii thou hadst asked me for mea', 1t
would have been given thee. | pity
thy poverty and thy weakness, and es-
teen thy family. Thou art forgiven.
The thief was greatly reloiced, and
was about to depart, when the Quaker
said:
Take the pork, neighbor. -.
"No. no, said the thief, Il don't
want ths pork. o..
THY necessity was SO great that 1t
led thee to steal. One-half of the pork
thou must take with thee.
The thief insisted that he could not
eat a morsel of it. The thought of the
crime would make it choke him. He
begged the privilege cf letting 1t alone.
But the Quaker was intiexible, and FUR
nished the man with bag, put hall the
pork therein and layingIt upon his back,
sent him home with 1t.
He met his neighbor daily for several
years afterward their families visited
together, but the matter was kept Il
secret, and though in after years the
circumstance was mentioned, the name
of the delinquent was never made known.
The punishment was severe and efiectu-
al. 1t probably was his tirst-lt was
certainly his last-attempt to steal
Had the man been arralgned before 4
court of Justice and imprisoned Tor the
petty theft, how different might have
been the result-his family dlsSraced,
their peace destroyed, the mans charae-
ter ruiped and his spirit broken.

Carpet and Mating.

into the corners. Why, dear heart, You
should never cut mating, except on the
straight, as You unwrapit from the roll.

Al workmen, and the mating was
bought at "The Bungalow" and came
straight from India. They put oll-c!oth
all around the outer edge Of the floor
tan oil-clOth with tho mating pattern
closely imitated), fitting it neatly arsund
the doorjambs and SO forth; then the
mating was simply big squ1re piece,
or rather longer ono way than the other,
such being the lay of the room; in other
words, there were four breadths of mat
ting joined together, and the two raw
edges were bound neatly with scarlet
heather. The oil-cloth shows about
foot all around beyond. You've no idea
how fresh and handsome il looks. In
this country the mating only costs 3i4
cent. yard, but | suppose 1t Is dearer
IN the United States, on account OF the
duty. A capital substitute for carpets
is mating, and may be used with perfect
propriety anywhere, even in drawing

z t to do to give nice warm effect III
cold weather is to lay down plenty OF
bright-colored rugs over it. 1t is such
a comfort to feel the sweet cleanliness OF
it, too. 1t can be washed like pine

fear the dust has sifted through 1t, 1t Is
the easiest thing i'll the world to lift up
a mating tioor-cloth, made as L have
d. scribed: for, rs the workman SAID to
me. "The fewer tacks you put IL 1t the
better" The one thing to be avoided
is having Fuckers or trucks up" any
where, for the feet wear mating out at
these inequaliti =. Both for Moreover
ings and for decorative purposes mat
ting is becoming every day more and
more popular. Many people use 1t for
dado. :, both in rooms and in Railways
fastening it on the walls with gilt nails.
The Queen will not sleep in a 70 N with
a carpet on the floor, and Her MaIesty's
bedrooms at all the palaces are covered
with mating. In the new cottage on
Dee Side, on the border Of Ballochbuic
Forest, III Scotland, which has Just been
erected for the Queen use, there are no
carpets whatever, every foor being
covered with Indian mating.

He Got 1t.

One Of the most touching things We
have read i'll a long time is that story OF
Il robber and a poor lone woman near
Franklin. Ohio. The robber came to
her house at night and demanded her
money or her life. She hadn't much
money or life either, but she preferred
giving up the former rather than the
latter; so she brought her little store
and placed it in his hand. He looked 1t
over carefully, to see that she didn't
palm off any twenty cent pieces for
quarters, and facetiously y told her that
he could credit her for onl y ninety-four
cents on the trade dollars, ohiding her
for taking them at their face value.
Haven't you anything else OF value 2
inquired the bold bad burglar, looking
about the scantily furnished apartment;
"a child's bracelet, ring, anything will
be thankfully received. She had moth
ing more, she replied with sigh. A
thought struck him. Your husband
was soldier, was he not y She ac-
knowledged that he WAS, and was killed
in the war. Then he must have had
revolver" he continued, searching
her countenance. ''Ah, you grow con-
fused, you stammer your manner be-
travs YOU. Get that revolver at once,
and give it to me-" In vain the woman
implored him to spare that harmless
trinket, almost the sole memorial of the
husband she had lost She had pawned
many things when in distress, but had
always hung on to that. But tthe robber
was unrelentlng. Sobbing bitterly she
went to a bureau drawer and removed
the precious relic, around which clus-
tered so many tender recollectlons.
Must you have it7" said she, as she
advanced with trembling steps towards
him. "Yes, must" said the robber,
extending his hand, well, then, take
it, " said she, gently pressing the trigger
for the last time. There was loud re-
port, and the robber tumbled over dead.
The community ought to pension that
