A Word for the Little Ones
0'Donnahue's Magazine

/ hate to see children forced to
do things that are disagreeable 10
them, merely for the purpose of
making them obey. Where any
good end is to be answered 1t Is
different. Little ones often object
to what is good for them, and
when tirmness is necessary, people
should of course be firm; but il a
little powerless creature has a
strong fancy or great repugnance,
parent or guardian abuses his
power in ignoring it. Why should
your little boy be made to eat the
fat of his meat If he loathes 1t, or
anything, no matter what, that is
repulsivs to him? Ii may be me-
cessary to refuse some things at
table, but seldom, ii ever, to force
anything upon him.
Why make child, either boy
or girl, miserable by forcing Il TO
wear articles of clothing of which
its taste does not approve, or at
which other children laugh? /
think little girls suffer more from
Wis tnau run huy Que tnlng. AL
most all of us have some such
memory. | knew q lady whose
childish life was made very
wretched for year by an absolete
old bag in which she was forced
to carry he books to school, and
another whose mother forced her
to wear some old lace, which.
though costly, was laughed ut by
the ignorant children who made
her world, and declared that she
actually wished herself dead until
that lace WAS banished from her.
Ii you can afford it, it is wiser to
give Your little boy the particular
top or kite he wants, or your girl
the very doll she covets and ribbon
she admires.

"Well, Uncle Abel, now you
are off for home, l suppose; trad
ing all done, crops all bargained
for. eh ?" and John Dare lifted his
hat and pushed back his thick
hair as he stood on the hotel steps
talking to a plain country farmer,
in a suit of homespun gray.
"Wa'al, no, not quite yet, John.

So they walked up the street.

likeness ia the face-a trifie too
fair for manly beauty, with its
blonde mustache and setting OF
close brown curls-to the brOnZed
and bearded one, with the few
locks, spare and gray beneath the
well brushed hat; but the blue
eyes were the same in both, and
like those that were closed forever
under the sod in the apple orchard
on Uncle AOel's farm, where his
dead sister was laid when Johnny
was little child. 1t troubled John
not whit to be seen with the
plain countryman in spite of his

with smiles, and / think a little

A Husbands Forfitude.

TAKING FLESH FROM HIS ARM TO
TRANSPLANT ON HIS wIFE's
BODY.
About five weeks ago O Phila-
delphia lady, was 80 dangerously
burned by her clothing lighting
that her life has been despaired of.
For weeks she fingered without
an intermission of her agony or
apparent Improvement. Last
Wednesday DIR. Mclean informed
Mr.. Wilson that it would be abso-
lutely necessary to transplant
live flesh to those parts where the
tissues had been destroyed, Prof.
Lewis, who had been called in,
decided in favor of the operation.
Although her mind was wander
ing, Mrs Wilson appeared to
nave some ides that a painful ex-
pertinent was impending and
screaming to the doctor to take
away the lancet, although he had
not displayed, nor indeed, at the
time, spoken in her hearing, of
any instrument. but her nervous
exhaustion was so great that it
was considered unsafe to cut the
flesh required from her own per-
son.
DIR. Lewis asked Mr.. Wilson if
he was willing to submit to.the
painful process of furnishing the
flesh from his arm. Certainly"
said Mr.. Wilson, "if 1t takes my
whole right arm, cut it off from
the shoulder to save my wife,
Mr.. Wilson barred and extended
his right arm, while DIR. Lewis,
with the assistance of DR. Mclean,
cut ten pieces of skin q quarter OF
an inch square from its upper sur
face and transplanted them into
the back of Mrs. Wilson. During
the whole operation Mr.. Wilson
never moved q muscle or showed
a sign Of the pain that he suffered,
while it required the strength OF
six women to hold Mrs. Wilson as
the delicate transfer was made.
After the operation was finished
the patient seemed more comfor-
table, the brain trouble gradually
subsidized, and che is now in fair
way to recover. The self-sacrific-
ing fortitude of Mr.. Wilson is Che
more remarkable because of the
fact that for two years past his
health has been failing.

TO KNOCK THE EARTH INTO A
COMET.

Prof. Draper IDS indulged in some
speculations concerning the earth fu-
ture as lugubrions as any prognostica-
tions of Prof Proctor or Mother Shipton
herself. He regards the comet now fad
ing from sight as but one of the isolated
bodies of all sizes which throug the in
terstellar spaces. and with some Of which
the earth may at any time come in
contact. He reasons as follows: Nov
the sun is moving through space al the
rate of from twenty to forty miles 4
second, and may at any time fall in with
body Of ineopceivable size, which, be-
ing drawn toward ii and rendered lumi-
nous by its heat, would be turned from a
dark, invisible mass into radiant comet.
Indeed, it is pretty nearly certain that in
the course Of time our sun will run foul
of some other system OF stars, which
will bring the solar system. should il fall
in with sun of sufficient size, might
itself be turned into comet, and 50 come
to an end. The possibilities that lie
buried in the universe Of stars and pehulip
are limited only by each mans imagina=
ton. There may be systems as complex
as our own, or much more SO, which have
lost their light by the lapse Of time, and
are not invisible: and such an obstacle in
our path would not be discovered until
We were close upon it. Although the
prophets who designate a particular sag
for the end of the world are justly the
objects of ridcuie, it is no matter for
mirth when the foremost astronomers of
the globe declare that no evidence exigtE
to show the improbability Of the de-
struction of the earth by its collision with
one of the innumerable bodies which fly
through space on courses which no man
can estimate
