Trust children. Assss)

Never accuse a child Of a fault I'M
less You are certain he committed it.
Children should not be treated with
suspicion. We should act toward
them in this matter as we feel we
ought to act toward others, only
with greater tenderness-not less,
as is usually done. We should al
ways put the best construction pos
sible upon their conduct; that is,
unless you are sure q child is tell
ing a lie, and can prove it, do not
show the smallest hesitation in be-
lieving what he says. Far better
that you should be deceived, than to
run the risk Of showing truthful
child that you do not trust him.
Your simple trust may make lying
child truthful. Your doubt of his
truthfulness may make a truthful
child liar.

when home is the one ssSweet safe

those who would suffer that you
might go free--ah then it is easy to
feel as if nothing could ever make
you quite discouraged. This is a
beautiful world, and there are lots
of good things in it. Yes, many Il

many more, who have to buckle on

1t cannot be of earth. Such strains
Of heart and brain as hearts and

We, whose paths are in the pleasant

Useful Information,

l. The difference between water
level and a straight line is a de-
parture of eight inches to a mile,
which furnishes by simple propo-
sition in geometry, method of cal
culating the earth's diameter.
2. A boy dropped a pen-knlfe in a
well 80 feet deep; a student at once
directed a sunbeam, from a mirror,
to the bottom, which made it visible,
and with q magnet fastened to a
pole, he brought it out. Let this
teach the boys the utility of science
3. A team walking at the rate Of
one mile and a half an hour, and
turning furrow ten inches wide,
will plow an acre i'll hours and SO
minutes.
4. A lightning rod well sunk in
the ground, will protect u circle
whose radius is equal to one and
one-ilalf the length OF the rod. If it
is 40 feet high, it will protect 90
feet every way from the top Of the
rod.
5. The circumference Of the earth
measures nearly $4,000 miles. If II
were begirt by an iron railway, a
load of one ton could be drawn
around it in six weeks, by the
amount of mechanical power which
resides in one-half ton of coal.
6. Franklin seized lightning by the
tail, held it fast, confined 1t in q
cage, and tanned it. Morse took il
out, put clothes on it, taught it how
tn talk, how to read and write and
do erpands, and named it telegram.

Value Of Fruit.

1t is is fact that fruit is great
regulator of the human system. 1t
will keep the blood in order, tho
bowels regular, tone up the stomach,
and is positively specific in many
diseases. 1t is said Of q doctor who
became largely interested in peach
growing, that he recommended
peaches to his patients on all occa-
sions. The story was told to illus.
trate the mans means; but if he
was mean it was q meanness that
benefited his patients. II men
were wise they would spend two
days IN q vineyard or orchard to
every five minutes in drug store
when anything IS the matter with
them. Ii you have dyspepsia, eat
fruit. Did you ever think what q
doctor gives for dyspepsiai He
gives an acid. Fruit will furnish a
better acid than the drug store will.
Do you know what the doctors dose
yen with when your liver is out of
order? With acids. Then why
not supply the remedy yourself from
your own gardens Why continue
to have your medicine done up in
such a repulsive mixture when ma
ture furnishes it in SO palatable q
shape. Every home should have at
least one grapevine. Once in pos
session it would be almost above
price Western Farmer.

If the roots Of tulips and hya
cinths are left in the bed where they
have bloomed and stalks cut after
blooming and bed sufficiently pro-
tected in the winter there win be
an annual blooming. The reason
why hyacinths that are lowered in
water glasses are exhausted and
make SO poor a growth is that the
flowers and stems are produced
at the expense of the bulb,
and this is not renewed in any
way. When grown on rich soil this
exhaustation does not occur and the
bulbs are able to bloom repeated
