The Wifa'a Inf1uance.

Two gentlemen, at large reception
in New York last winter, were discuss
ing one of the foremost politicians of
the country, a man who, whether In Of
flee or out, always keeps himself PROM
inently before the public. II knew
him at college," said one of the gentle
men. ''He was man with clear
head, extraordinary memory, and much
personal magnetism. But cannot un-
derstand why he chose public life or
has pushed himself forward so persist

ionary fellow, absolutely destitute of
ambition II can tell you the secret"
said the other. 'You will find it in his
wife's nose. There she is! did You ever
see q more perfect incarnation of energy
and love of command? Napoleon would
have chosen her for one of his Marshals

at the guess and said, presently: s'There

Baby in Church.

Aunt Nellie had fashioned dainty thing,
Of Hamburg and ribbon and lace,
And mamma had said, as she settled it round
Our beautiful baby face,
Where the dimples play and the laughter lies
Like sunshine hid in her violet eyes
IF the day is pleasant and baby is good,
She may go to church and wear her new hood"
Then Ben, aged 8, began to tell,
In elderly brotherly way,
How very, very good she must be
If she went to church next day.
He told of the church, the choir and the crowd,
And the man in front, who talked SO loud;
But she must not talk, nor laugh, nor sing,
But just sit as quiet as anything.
And SO, on beautiful Sabbath in May,
When the fruit-buds burst into flowers,
CThere wasn't q flower on bush or tree
So fair as this blossom of ours;
All in her white dress dainty and new
Our baby sat in the family pew
The grand, sweet music, the reverent air,
The solemn hush and the voice of prayer.
Filled all her baby soul with awe,
AS she sat in her little place;
And the holy look that the angels wear
Seemed pictured upon her face.
And the sweet words uttered so long ago
Came into my mind with rhythmic How:
"Of such is the kingdom Of Heaven" said He
And know he spoke OF such as she.
The sweet-yoiced organ pealed forth again,
The collection boxes came round,
And baby dropped her penny in,
And smiled at the clinking sound.
Alone in the choir Aunt Nellie stood,
Waiting the close OF the soft prelude
TO begin her solo. High and strong
She struck the first note clear and long.
She held it, and all were charmed but one,
Who, with all the might she had,
Sprang to her little feet and cried:
Aunt Nellie, you Sc being bad!''
The audience smiled, the minister coughed,
The little boys in the corner laughed,
The tenor shook like an aspen leaf
And hid his face in his handkerchief,
And poor Aunt Nellie never could tell
How she finished that terrible strain,
Butsays nothing on earth would tempt
Her to go through the scene again.
So, we have decided perhaps it's best,
For her sake, ours, and ali the rest,
That we wait, maybe for year or two,
Ere our baby re-enters the family pew,

How to Drive Flies Out of Room.

Observations made by NJ. Rafford,
member of the Society d. Horticulture at
Limoges, show that castor oil plant
having been placed in room infested
with flies, they disappeared as by en-
chantment. Wishing to find the cause,
he soon found under the castor oil plant
a number of dead flies, and large num-
Der of bodies had remained clinging to
the under surface of the leaves. It
would therefore appear that the leaves
of the castor oil plant give out an es-
sential oil, or some toxic principle which
possesses very strong insecticide quail
ties. Castor oil plants are in France
very much used as ornamental plants
in rooms, as they resist very well vari-
atoms of atmosphere and temperature.
AS the castor oil plant is very much
grown and cultivated in all gardens,
the Journal d'Agriculture points out
that it would be worth while to try
decorations of the leaves to destroy
the green flies and other insects which
in summer are so destructive to plants
and fruit trees. Anyhow NJ. Railroads
observations merit that trial should be
made of the properties of the castor oil
plant both for the destruction of flies
in dwellings and of other troublesome
insects. British Medical Journal.

Out of Sight of Land on Lake Huron

We finally run away from all signs of
the shore, and are al last alone with the
lake. The heavens are clear all around,
with scattered white clouds here and
there, that seem like varied designs in
glass-work blown white upon the trans
parent sky, and the only darkness to be
seen is the long, lazy ropes Of smoke that
sluggishly pay themselves out from our
stacks and carelcssly coil themselves
down in oddly convulted shapes along
the horizon. A mirage, having nothing
else to elongate, seems to lift the water
itself, until, as you look carelessly sea-
ward in any direction, you cannot tell
sea from sky.
We seem to be at the bottom of an
immense liquid basin, trying to sail up
hill, and the impression that the i'm
mense wheel is going to screw US right
through the wall of this weird magic
doesn'tcease its decisions. Away ahead
of us, the sun, getting ready for bed,
seems to be raking out her fires, for
directly beneath her, it appears to be,
on some unseen shore, there is CLEAN
on the water that grows and grows un-
til it rounds upward into huge mound
that glows red like the glare Of molten
iron; and as it grows higher and higher
there stretches out toward the ship q
frightening conc of light, as if to burn
our course upon the waters through the
darkness that is soon to fall. Presently
it touches our prov and the flying spray
sparkles in the golden CLEAN. The sun
sinks lower and lower; the fires have
been raked, the mound of glowing Goals
has disappeared, the cone itself, has
dwindled to a line of burning wire along
which there now sweeps bright expir-
ing flash, as if in pulling down the
blinds the dear old sun were wiring us
good night and the day is gone, and
we are alone with the night. She, too,
pulls her diamond dotted curtains down
around US, and we are alone with the In
