Why Children Should Eat Honey.

Thousands and tens of thousands of chill
dren are dying all around us, who, because
their ever developing nature demands sweet
| ness, crave and eagerly demolish the adulter-
atcd candies" and syrup" of modern times.
If these could be fed ON honey instead, they
would develop and grow up into healthy
men and women.
Children would rather eat bread and hon
cy than bread and butter; one pound of hon
ey will reach as far as two pounds of butter,
| and has, besides, the advantage of being far
| more healthy and plcasant-tasted, and al
ways remains good, while butter soon be-
| comes rancid, and often produces cramp in
| the stomach, quotations, sourness, vomiting
and diarrh9a. Pure honey should always
be freely used in every family. Honey eaten
| upon wheat bread is very beneficial to health.
The use of honey instead of sugar for al
most every kind of cooking is as pleasant
for the palate as it is healthy for the stomach.
In preparing blackberry, raspberry or straw
| berry shortcake it is infinitely superior.
1t is common expression that honey is a
| luxury, having nothing to do with the life
giving principle. This is an error-honey is
food In one of its most concentrated forms.
True, it does not add so much to the growth
of muscles as does beefsteak, but it does i'm
part other properties no less necessary to
health and vigorous physical and intelectu-
| al action. 1t gives warmth to the system,
arouses nervous energy, and gives vigor to
all the vital functions. TO the laborer it gives
| strength-to the business man, mental force
lis effects are not like ordinary stmulants,
such as spirits, etc, but produce healthy
| action, the results, of which are pleasing and
permanent-a sweet disposition and bright

lie Hauled the Load Of Wood.

A Leominster farmer recently broke his
horse of n "balky" freak in very quiet and,
as he claims, not II cruel manner His horse
is in excellent flesh and shows no signs of
neglect on the part of his master. He drove
him, attached to a rack wagon, to the wood
lot for small load of wood. The animal
would not pull pound. He did not beat
him with club but tied him to tree and
"let him stand" He went to the lot at sun
set and asked him to draw, but he would not
straighten Il tug. II made up my mind"
said the farmer, "when that horse went to
the barn he would take that load of wood.
The night was not cold. l went to the barn,
got blankets and covered the horse warm,
and he stood until morning. Then he refus,

committed suicide.
She hurried home with the children. All
was gloom. She went to his bureau TO look
for his razor. 1t was the only fire arms he
possessed-it was gone!
Then Mrs, Skinner broke down and cried
and the children cried, and it was indeed q
scene OF desolation, when suddenly the door
OF the horrible parlor opened, and an appari-

apologize tone, looking at the clock.
81 should say you did," answered his wife,
land the dinner is all eaten up, but pll fix
you up something NICE" and she went out
taking the children with her.
How much oft Mr. Skinner ever knew it
is impossible to say, but there was an imme-
date and satisfactory change that at first
amazed and then delighted him. He could
lay down anywhere when he was tired and
his wife would throw shawl over him, and
leave him in peace. He has even been seen
to lie down on her sofa in the parlor where
he took his Rip Van Wrinkle Sleep and no.
body disturbed him. Mrs. Skinner was at
heart woman of sense, and when she realz-
ed that one hair of that.grizzly- gray head was
worth more than all the pillow shams in the

the company OF demcntcd assortment of
superfluous tides. And they are really and
truly, and not in any geological sense, a
"happy family" now.

The front doors of many farm-houses are
rarely opened. The back door is in constant
use. One need not go far in any locality, to
find the outlet of the kitchen sink ending in
sort ofditch, which is supposed to carry off
the waste water, but which only allows it to
soak away and saturate the ground near the
back of the house. The seldom used front
door is opened when a small coffin is TO be
taken out. The minister speaks of ''the mys-
lerious dispensations of Providence" They
are not at all mysterious. Bad sink drains at
the back of the house are sure to bring ty-
phoid fever and other sickness. Let the
back door surroundings be looked to- Ifnoth-
ing better can be done, carry the kitchen
wastes to IL ccsspool u distance from the
house, where they can soak away far below
the surface Prohibit all throwing out of
slops at the back door. The ground soon
becomes charged with matters that terment
