THE TALE OF 4 KITE.

Twas young and silly kite,
Who took his first gay flight
On the windy morn of TOmmys holiday;
And his silver-spangled side
Sweled ana qufvered with his pride,
As the breezes caught AMI waited him away.
A tail both long and slim
He took aloft with him,
And hung in graceful curves against the sl1v
Till ahO e the JaIlesu trees
He was carried by the breeze,
While Tommy laughed to SCI him sail so high.
'Oh, could / now get free,
might by indeed sad he.
"Higher rise than yOnder great puEed-up bal
loon;
Could I break this cruel string,
Like bird of fie test wing
[ would soar beyond the stars and shining
moOn.'
With a quick, impatient start
Lo! he snaps the cord apart
For moment floats triumphant yet more
high;
But the next, with wild surprise,
Il am giddy. quite he cries
And reeling, plunges headlong from the sky.
Twas a sadder, wiser kite
That Tommy saw alight,
With battered form, and tangled tail, so slim :;
His spangled sides were REM,
His ribs, TOO crushed and b 7nt,
And all conceit quite taken out of him.

Cruelty to Animals.

There are people who are not natur-
ally unkind, nevertheless they, in many
ways, are cruel to dumb animals, some
times not Intentionally so. In 1881 the
British National Veterinary COngr ess
appointed comm ttee for the purpose
of considering the subject of cruelty to
animals and publishing such observa-
tions as it thought well to make, in the
name of the profession, regarding GER
tain practices and operations relating to
and performed on animals. The fol-
lowing is a brief declaration agreed
upon by this committee:
''Lamencss may be painless or pain
full. Those cases where the lameness
passes off with exercise are prima facie
cases being accompanied with pain.
This specially applies to cases Of navic-
ular diseases and SPAWN. In such cases
horses ought not be worked, and when
worked it is cruelty. Gingering is de-
cidedly cruel. Wounds are not causes
for lIntitness for work. unless pressed
upon by harness or affected by the
movements of the animal. The prac-
ticc called 'tintching' causes acute pain
and is frequently unjustifiable, especial
" when a tintch is used by stablemen
and others in charge of horses. Burn
ing gums for lampass' is cruelty. Ex-
tracing temporary teeth, save for sur
gical reason, is cruelty. Docking and
nicking horses are cruel operations,
when done for fashion and not TO re-
move malformations or cure disease.
Docking sheep, under well-known con-
ditions, is a necessary operation. Mark
ing and branding animals, when neces-
sary, should be performed by the
quickest and least painful method.
Worming the tail, docking and crop
ping the ears of dogs are unnecessary,
not performed TO remove malformations
or cure disease - - San Francisco
Chronicle.

Does 1t Pay2

Taking it for granted that all tired
housekeepers have been able to ''get
off for week at least some time dur
ing the popular season for change, and
they have got rested from the work OF
preparation, and conquered since their
return the extra washing, settled the
household in all disarrangements conse-
quent upon neglect even of one day
routine; this question, does it pay,
comes into mind.
Did you enjoy your vacation? we ask
of mother, who, with her husband
and daughter, had just returned from a
ten days stay beside old ocean. Eyes, :"
oh, yes; but it was very warm at the
beach, and the house was full, so our
accommodations were not the best,
and oh, dear! such a washing as l
have before me, and the house is so
dusty. / do believe home is the best
place, and l am quite resolved never to
go away again"
But there is this: One can not 90 into
the stiffness of nature without absorb
ing much that is benelicial without
drifting out from the anXieties, bor-
rowed or real, which are a part of
housekeeping; then when one goes
where people gather for the express
purpose of enjoyment, mind must be
quickened, new ideas gathered. so that
the drive and strain of everyday life is
mitigated.
1t takes quite three weeks time for
the average hOusekeeper to get week
off, and when the house is in order, and
her mind takes in the situation, that
that peaches and plums must be
canned, pickles must be made, indeed,
she wonders how she was ever so fool
ish as to be persuaded to take even one
week for herself. Still we believe such
regrets are wrong; for when the extra
fall work is over, and there comes op-
pOrtunIty for thinking, the deep-sound-
ing sea with its dreamy restfulness, the
quiet of country life, the sparkle and
genial companionship of new-made
friends, all combine to cheer, encourage
and help.
Again we say it pays, and the only
point 10 be insisted upon is to go. and
not be overcome by obstacles.

Six months afterward, on getting into
an omnibus on my way home from
the town. 1 found myself next neighbor
to Mr.. Plumlin. He recognized me at
once, though, in any case, think l
should have spoken to him. One ALWAYS
feels little constraint with a stranger
to whom he has sold a house or horse.
We know its little imperfections, which
the other gentleman does not till he has
bought it; and though there had been
nothing particularly wrong about Eden
Lodge, / felt that as a residence (even
independent of its musical neighbour, it
was not faultless. l took the bull by
the horns, however, and at once OBJ
served; Il hope you like your house.
Mr. PlumlinP'
YES" he replied, quite naturally
(thereby lifting quite load from my
perhaps too tender conscience). Il am
not one in any case to cry over split
mix, or to complain of a completed
bargain; besides, being y builder, you
see, why, of course, L did not expect
perfection. There's a little damp 10 the
front attic there was |, but l flatter
mysef I know how to treat it; I've
just given it a coat of Paris cement, and
that'n soon be all right"
/ said TO myself IN back the damn"
but did not pursue the subject. The
whole topic of Eden Lodge was a del
icate one; still could not conquer nv
curiosity to know how he had exercised
that musical fiend next door; that he
had done it somehow, took for grant
ed, or he would never have looked so
cheerful.
And how do you like your neigh
bOrs, Mr.. Plumlin?"
"Oh! pretty we'll; not, indeed, that l
know much of them" Then, as if
moved by an afterthOught, he added:
4" To be sure, there's that there Brown.
He's n queer one. What do YOU think
he's been doing, or rather his people;
for I believe his wife was at the bottom
of it."
Now" thought to myself, Its
coming. Plumlin has had the benefit of
that piano. l replied, however, with
q blush | strove in vain to conceal, that
! could not possibly guess what Brown
