Out of the long white dresses
And into the dainty frocks,
Little blue shoes with buttons
IN the place of the worsted socks;
No longer helpless baby,
Carried in arms all day,
But restless, mischievous fellow,

Getting himself into troubles
That seemingly have no end,
Tearing "big holes" in his dresses
For patient mamma to mend,
Dumping his curly round noddle
Which mammals soft kisses must cure;
And meeting hundred misfortunes
Which babies must learn to endure.

And do the best can
To welcome the magical power
Which changes the boy to man:
Oh! that the years were slower
In rolling the months away,

Prove 1t by Mother.

While driving along the street one day
last winter, in my sleigh, little boy 6
or years old asked me the usual ques-
ton: "Please, may ride?"

thought to myself, here is lesson
for boys and girls. When child feels
and knows that mother not only loves,
but has confidence in him or her, and
can prove their obedience, truthfulness
and honesty by mother, they are pretty
safe. That boy will be joy to his
mother while she lives. She can trust
him out Of her sight, feeling that he
will not run into evil. I do not think
he will go to the saloon, the theater, or
the gambling-house. Children who
have praying mothers, and mothers who
have children they can trust, are blessed
indeed. Boys and girls, can you "prove
bSmother" that you are good? Try to
deserve the confidence Of your parents
and every one else.

WHY No One Looked at the Bride.

I don't know as it is much of q story,
but the telling OF it one hot May afte--
noon frightened US all up wonderfully.
We were rather largely discussing a
wedding we had all attended that morr-
ing, and were criticising, good-natured-
~, the looks and appearance of the
bride, when Aunt Gratia, who had been
busy over her sewing, spoke up and
asked:
"Did you ever hear Of wedding
where 10 one looked at the bride?
''Such thing would not be likely to
happen, unless it was at an asylum for
the blind, only patients admitted" said
Mabel.
cit might have been the couple who
were married under the window in
stormy weather." said Vira.
"We never heard of such thing.
Did you, Aunt Gratia? Was it a real
wedding, Or is it a conundrum
"The wedding to which I refer, :"
went on the smiling old lady, "was in a
church, and the seats were all filed, for
it was a general invitation. It was a
real floral wedding. Being the 18th Of
June, there was no lack of material,
and. as the Sabbath-school scholars
took the matter of decoration in hand,
there were plenty Of helpers. The huge
old wooden ark of country meeting
house was transformed into veritable
bower of beauty. The girls were all
dressed in white gowns Topped up with
flowers, and the boys wore roses in the
button-holes of their white vests. Ev-
cry guest carried bouquet, even to the
Oldest grandfather and grandmother OF
them all, and pretty children scattered
flowers in the brides pathway as she
walked from her chldhood's home near
by the church. There had never been
such display in that town before, and
it wasn't done for style at all, but just
because every one loved the minister's
daughter and wanted to have finger IN
her marriage pie; but, after all this
parade, no one looked at the bride"

adversaries. And so the roar of cannon
assembled along the coast. One fight
after another, but still nothing decisive.
The Armada passed the Isle Of Wight
ON its way to the roads of Calais. The
English, having received men and mu-
nitions from shore, followed it slowly.
Lord Howard, commander of the En-
glish fleet, called the commanders to a
consultation. 1t was then determined
to attack the Armada. It was dead at
night. The sea was black, the thunder
rolled in the distance. In moment
six blazing fire-ships were sent in among
the Armada. The Spaniards were
seized with a panic. There was yell
throughout the fleet. Every cable was
cut, and the ships began to drift. The
larger ships became entangled with
each other. Some were burned by the
flaming vessels. The largest and most
splendid vessel of the Armada, the
Capitana, was driven ashore, and taken
possession Of by the French. When
morning dawned, part of the Spanish
feet lay disabled, but the greater num-
Der had put to sea, and were observed
making for the Netherland ports.
The English lifted anchor andfollowed
them. They came up with the Spanish
fleet off Gravellines, and Immediately
attacked them. They broke through
the vanguard, and attacked the Spanish
fagships. They riddled them through
and through, tore their sails and rigging
to shreds, and forced them back upon
the main body. -Four of their ships ran
foul of each other. The English contin-
ued the battle for six hours, always re-
fusing the attempts of the Spaniards to
lay themselves alongside. Three of the
Spanish ships went down before the
fight was over, and many others were
drifting, helpless wrecks, toward the
fatal sandbanks Of Holland. Sixteen of
the best Spanish ships had already been
sacrificed, and from four to five thous-
and soldiers had been destroyed; yet not
an English ship had been lost, and not
more than hundred Englishmen had
been killed.
The wind was now blowing hard, and
driving the ships on q lee shore, seeing
which, Medina Sidonia, the Captain
General of the Spanish feet, gave the
order to retreat. The Invincible Arma-
da then bore away towaad the north
west, into the open sea. The crippled
ships went down one after another.
They were scattered far and wide Some
were wrecked on the rock-girdled coast
of Norway. In trying TO reach the
Western ocean, many OF the Spanish
ships were wrecked On the Shetland and
Orkney islands, or On the rocks in the
dangerous tides of the Stronsa and Pent-
land firths. The shores of Scotland
and Ireland were found streEn with
wrecks. Few of the Spaniards were
left to tell the story only the masses of
drifting wood found in heaps upon the
beach told of the vessels destroyed

INTERMITTENT FEVER.
Magazine

This is the medical name for fever and
ague; OF rather, fever and ague is one
form Of intermittent fever. The name
refers to the fact that the paroxysms
come and go generally irregular inter-
walls. There are three kinds Of inter-
mittent fevers-quotidian, in which they
return every day; tertian, in which they
return every other day; quartan, In
which there are two days between their
recurrence. A fourth kind, called err
ratio, occurs at irregular intervals.
Intermittent fevers are supposed to be
caused by malaria. They mainly pre-
vail in regions where the soil contains a
large portion OF decomposed matter.
In this country the disease has been
confined chiefly to the West and South.
New York and New England have known
it almost wholly by report. For the
last few years, however, it has shown
itself in New York and Connecticut.
This last summer it broke out as an ex-
tensiye epidemic in Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island, selling many victims in
both of these States.
It is probable that the epidemic has a
connection with the great lack of rain,
which has left the bottoms of so many
ponds and marshes bare, thus exposing
large amount Of decayed matter.
Periods Of unwonted dryness are gen
orally periods Of various epidemics.
The low water in the wells contains al
such times a larger proportion of de-
composed matter, for the water drains
from much wider area.
Observation-Disclosures begin with a Sc.
we're chill, during which the teeth chat
ter and the whole person shakes violent
~. The fever generally lasts several
hours. The remedy is quinine, nour.
ishment, rest and, where practicable,
removal from the malarial region. -

atmosphere is too dry. Dust and dirt

NIildew, and consequent cropping off of
the leaves, indicates a false system of
watering, in connection with a low state
of atmosphere. Great mistakes are made
in watering. It seems nearly impossi-
BILE to induce some plant lovers from try
ing to grow all their plants in marsh.
Few plants can endure standing in soil
constantly drenched, or in saucers of
water. Less damage is done by drought
than by overwhelming. A good rule is
to thoroughly drench the soil once in
two days, using water but little warmer
than the temperature of the room.
Geraniums especially revolt from super
fuous water. Ageratums and hello
tropes just as decidedly protest against
being in the least dried. The difficulty
in damping-of and mildew are also fos-
tered by the exceedingly-rich soil some
times used. It should be remembered
that plant or tree can be made dys-
peptic.
