MONEY TO BE MADE.

1t is said that dull times are not known
by the agents for the great publishing
house of George Stinson and Co., OF Port
land. Maine. The reason of this exception
al success is found in the fact that they al
ways give the public that which is keenly
appreciated. and at prices that all can al
ford. At present, we understand, Their
agents are doing wonderfully well ON sew
eral new lines. They need many new
agents in all parts of the country Those
who need profitable work should apply at
once. Women do rs well as men. Expert
ence is not necessary for Messrs. Stnson
& Go. undertake to show all VINO are VII
ling to work. not hard but earnestly, the
path to large success. 1t should be re-
membcred that an agent can do a haild-
some business without being away from
home over night. Another adyantaSe--lt
costs nothing to give the business trial,
and an agent can devote all his time or only
his spare moments to it. Stinson " Co.
guarantee grand success to all who engage
and follow simple and plain directions that
they give. We have not space to explain
all here, but full particulars will be sent
free to those who address the firm; their

HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.

Never let your children come to the table
until you are quite sure that they won t
undertake to do all the talking. This you
should make a law when you have company
Tell the company there isn't room for them
You are never safe with the children at
the table. If there is anything you don't
want known, it will be told then. The
boy who never noticed that the spoons were
plated will shout, as though giving You
valuable information:
ooh, see the gold comm through the
spoon!''
And that same boy will say he wishes it
was Sunday, and when your guest asks
him why, he will say:
Because we always have pie on Sunday
You will find out he knows a great deal
that you never suspected he knew, and you
will be at a loss to ascertain how he ever
equipped himself with the facts. A boy
at the table is well-spring of displeasure.
If his sister is kissed by any one he is
always the person to witness the perfor-
nance, and tells of it at the table before
a crowd. He is always the one to give to
the world the fact that his sister uses pow
der, and wears false teeth, and is thirty
two years old. If there is a mortgage on
the place the boy hears you speak of it,
and then goes around talking about it as
though it were something to be pointed
to with pride and pleasure. Everything
of 70
should not be repeated the boy repeats, and
he always has the faculty of repeating it
at the wrong time and to the wrong per-
son.
If you say the clergyman's sermons are
too long or too dry, the boy will take it all
in and say nothing until the clergyman
comes around to make his regular visit,
and then he will let it out just after you
have entered the room. If you say the
doctor isnot fit to cure hams, he will jump
up on the doctors knee, when he calls,
and smilingly say:
ooh, doctor, mamma says you amt titto
cure hams -
The old adage that boys will be boys
ought to be changed to boys will be fiendS.
One boy is more bother than half dozen
girls The boy is always i'll mischief. When
he is at school he is studying some kind OF
deviltry to perpetrate when school is out
Or else he is playing tricks on the teacher
When he is at home, he is twisting the cat $
tail, or disturbing her hearthstone dreams
with beam shooter. If there is no cat to
torment, he will torment his little sister by
making faces at her, or dressing the dog up
in her doll-clothes. -Puck.

sir, answered Margaret. .Our paths lie
far apart now, and can sincerely wish you
a happy future, either married or unmar-
ried :
She held out her hand as she spoke, with
a sad smile; and his own shook visibly as
he took, after long years, once more the lit
tie palm within his strong clasp.
Il shall never marry, Miss Arnold. A
man can love as have loved but once in
lifetime. God bless you! Good by.
Then he went ont of the room, and
early hour.
And yet. before the door had been five
minutes closed upon him, Margaret found
the missing seal, and wept there on her
knees as she recognized little gift She
herself had long ago given him and for
gotten. He had carefully preserved it in
rich setting after the form Of SEAL and all
these years had carried it about him.
The old love- long banished, was net
slow to well up in Margaret's heart again,
and chance favored an explanation between
the two ere many days-an explanation
which made the two hearts happy beyond
measure.
They never knew. but we can point out
the rejected lover of that long ago who
concocted, out Of his foolish envy and jeal-
ousy, the note which 50 eleverly initiated
Harold's penmanshir as to bring misery
upon the two who were all in all to each
other.
But Margaret had faith to believe her
lovers word, and the glad Christlnas-time
was true to the motto Of Peace on earth,
good viii toward men. and the first day
of the New Year saw an engagement ring
upon Margaret finger, which drove Isabel
nearly wild with envy.
Miss Berkly's visit was suddenly ended
Nobody dared to hint why. but Isabel
knew it was pique that allied her friend,
and the contagion did not escape herself
Margaret and her husband went to Europe
on a wedding-tour, and Mrs. Granger is
looking for a governess.

Gates, a home magazine, and To those who are

ii most excellent home magazine, crammed full

ton. In fact the magazine from its old-time
fireplace on its front cover, all through its well
