but ne was very still and quiet.
Later in the day the children were
startled by sudden commotion on the
other side of the room. Daisy was writ
ing on her slate and Melinda Jones. in
passing to her seat, accidentally knocked
1t out OF her hands; without moments
hesitation, Daisy, by way of expressing
her feelings, snatched her slate and
promptly administered such a sounding
''whack!' on Melinda's back and shout
ders as brought shrek of anguish
from that poor, little unfortunate who
began to think that if all the DAYS of her
life were to be like unto this day. exist
ence would certainly prove burden.
Just about two minutes later Miss
Linnet was standing by her desk, a ruler
in one hand and Daisy's open palm in
the other, while Daisy herself. miserable
little culprit, stood white and trembling
before her. As she raised the ruler to
give the first blow, Tommy spraug for
ward, placed himself at Daisy's side,
put his open palm over hers. and with

I'd rather it would be me every time
than Daisy-truly | won't cry. Oh,

And Miss Linnet did whip him, while
Daisy, filled with remorse, chung to him
sobbing as if her heart would break. To
be sure, somebody who ought to know,
told me it was the fghtest ''feruling"

mamma.
''No, indeed! I stood up big as 1
could, looked at Daisy and smiled,

Then that proud and happy mamma
took him in her arms and kissed him;
and right in the midst of the kissing in
walked Daisy.
"Would Tommy please come and
take supper with her?''
Of course he would, and they walked
off hand in hand. When they passed
Dicky's house Tommy suggested:
"S'posing they forgive Dick and let him
go long too" And Daisy agreeing,
they called that young gentleman out
and magnanimously informed him that
he was forgiven and might come and
have supper with them.
What in the world they had to for
give, nobody knows; but then, SO lsng
as forgiveness proved such an eminently
satisfactory arrangement, all round
why, nobody need care.
The children waited outside the gate
while Dick coaxed his mother to let
him go, and standing there, hand in
hand, Daisy plucked up heart of grace
and with very rosy cheeks and an all
about her of general penitence, said
something very sweet in a very small
voice: aa

Rash Advice.

One blowing day last week, when the
sidewalks were as slippery as glass, a
woman stood in front of door on Cliff
ford street, and strewed some ashes
from pan she held on the icy walk.
As she did so, the wind blew the coal
dust rather freely over her, and a man
going past said:
''If you will turn your back to the
wind it will blow the ashes from you in
stead of over YOU
The woman thanked him with her
eyes, but did not move. Indeed, she
could not without losing her balance
and the ashes both.
''Let me show you," said the man,
kindly, as he removed a fur glove and
grasped with determined grip the
well-filled ash-pan. ''You can throw
them over the walk in this way, and
not be liable to put your eyes out. It's
as easy as rolling off log" and he
braced his back against the wind and
gave a generous flop to the ash-pan. {"
The woman went into the house to
get the ashes ont of her hair and eyes
and recover her health. When the po-
lice had busted the man off and identi-
fed him they took him home. The
only remark he made was:
''You can't most always tell from
what quarter the wind will blow when
you attempt to give advice about
emptying an ash-pan.

The Mines and Minerals Of Mexico.


The next most important deposits are
the immense beds of iron, chiefly in the
form of magnetic and hematite ores.
The well-known Cerro del Mercado,
in the State of Durango, has been es-
timated to contain sixty million cubic
yards of iron-ore, which have a weight
of five billion quintals, and give, ac-
cording to an analysis by Mr.. M. FL.
Borje, of Philadelphia, sixty-six per
cent. of pure metal Lead-ores are
abundant; copper is mined at various
places; oxide of tin is found in veins
and alluvial beds at Durango. Mer-
curry occurs as cinnabar in several
States; and zinc-ores, with platinum,
antimony, cobalt and nickel, i'll not
large quantities, are found in Chi
huahua. The principal coal-beds are
IN the States of Oaxaca, Vera Cruz,
Mexico, Puebla, Nuevo Leon, Tamau-
hpas, and Sonora. The anthracite-b bed
recently discovered at Barranca, on the
Yaqui River in Sonora, is probably the
largest and richest deposit of coal in
the Republic. Ignite, or brown. coal,
occurs in many places, but is not used
to any great extent. The demand for
coal is, so far. much greater than the
supply accessible to the railroads.
Mining is still conducted by working
on the old Mexican plan, and this sys-
tenn has been found, under existing cir
cumstances, to be more economical and
profitable than system in which mod
ern and improved methods have been
applied.
Some of the Oldest mines in Mexico,
many of which were worked before
the Spanish conquest, are at Pachuca,
in the State of Hidalge. There ara
about one hundred and fifty Of them,
seyenty-6Fe of which are in the Real
del Monte, afording an ore composed
mainly of blackish silver suhhiaea.
The ore is worked here, as at Guiana

Hunting Fish with Dogs.

Captain Mayne Reid in his last story,
+" The Land of Fire." published in st.
Nicholas, gives the following interest
ing description of peculiar Fuegian
manner of fishing: ''By this, the four
canoes have arrived at the entrance to
the inlet, and are forming line across
it at equal distances from one another,
as if to bar the way against anything
that may attempt to pass outward. Just
such is their design; the fish being what
they purpose enflading,
"Soon the fish-hunters, having COM
pleted their Gordon and dropped the
dogs overheard, come on up the cove,
the women plying the paddles, the men
with javelins appraised. ready for dart
ing. The little foxy dogs swim abreast
of and between the canoes, driving the
fish below them--as sheep-dogs drive
sheep-one or another diving under at
intervals, to intercept such as attempt
to escape outward. For in the translu-
cent water they can see the fish far
ahead, and, trained to the work, they
keep guard against break from these
through the inclosing line. Soon the
fish are forced up to the inner end of
the cove, where it is shoalest; and then
the work of slaughter commences. The
dusky fishermen, standing in the canoes
and bending over, now to this side, now
that, plunge down their spears and fiz-
gigs, rarely failing to bring up fish Of
one sort or another; the struggling VIC
tim shaken off into the bottom of the
can0n thnra ontc ifc death blour FROM
the boys.
"For nearly an hour the curious
aquatic. chase is carried on; not in 81
lence, but amid chorus of deafening
notes.-the shouts of the savages and
the barking and yelping of their dogs
mingling with the shrieking of the sea-
birds overhead. And thrice is the cove
drawn by the canoes, which are taken
back to its mouth, the line reformed,
and the process repeated till a good sup
ply of the fish best worth catching has
been secured" s

Spring Silks.


For the earliest spring silks those
with shaded grounds of gros grain or
of satin are shown. These have two
contrasting colors changing on the
finely repped ground, or else upon q
satin surface, and there are quaint Per-
sian figures or flowers brocaded in re-
lief upon them; porcelain blue is shot
with coral tints, moss green with faded
blue, maroon with lilac or with beige,
and dark blue with dull red. Ottoman
repped silks are not largely represented
in spring importations, according to a
well-known fashion writer, as these are
not handsome unless of too heavy
weight for Warm-weather dresses, and,
moreover, their durability is SO uncer-
tain that merchants fear to commend
them. Velvet figures of small sizes on
satin grounds will be chosen for Easter
toilets that are partly of plain satin in
the stylish gray-brown and maroon
shades, and Correspondents who have
made inquiries about such dresses are
advised that their choice lies between
the satin grounds or else the small
repped fables that have satirl luster.
For still later in the season surahs will
be used either with silk or satin finish,
and in plain grounds, as we'll as those
with small figures, For summer
mantles, visites, shoulder-capes, and
also for parts of dresses, there are
gauze velours or velvet-fgured grena-
dimes, not in black only, but in the
gray and dull red shades that have
been used for wraps this winter. Beige
and brown shades will also be consid-
cred stylish in these thick and thin
fabrics. Black gauze mantles will
again be made up over colored satin
surah Innings, especially of red. laven-
der, or gray shades. For entirely black
dresses for the early spring the hand
soonest satins are being provided for the
greater part of the dress, to be en-
riched by vest and skirt front of
elaborate embroidery done on satin or

A Rum.Seller'S Experience.

A man named Stacy, the owner of a
| splendid drinking saloon in New York,
signed the pledge lately and closed his
house. Hearing that a party of lads
had formed themselves into Temper
ance society he gave them his expe-
| rience as a rum-seller. 81 have sold
liquor" said Mr. Stacey, ''for eleven
years-long enough for me to see the
beginning and end of its effects. have
seen man take his first glass of liquor
| in my place, and afterwards fill the
grave of suicide. have seen man after
man, wealthy and educated, come into
my saloon, who can not now buy their
! dinner. [ can recall twenty customers
worth from 100000 to 100000 who
are now without money, place or
friends" He warned boys against en-
tering saloons on any pretext. He stated
| that he had seen many a young fellow,
| a member OF some Temperance society,
| come in with friend and wait while he
drank. 'No, no." he would say, ''I
never touch it. Thanks all the same"
| Presently, rather than to seem churlish,
he would take glass of cider or harm
| less lemonade. "The lemonade was
nothing" said the rum-seller, "but |
knew how it would end. The only
safety, boys, for any man, no matter
how strong his resolution, is outside the
door of saloon"
SCIENTIFIC temperance education is
meeting with favor in many localities,
another triumph having been scored in
New York State. Mrs. M. H. Hunt,
our National Superintendent of Scien-
tific Instruction, has been speaking
nearly every evening since October in
the State. She has carried her audi
ences by both eloquence and logic to
her conclusions. In every place where
she has spoken enthusiastic assemblies
have given rising vote in favor of the
bill providing for compulsory temper
ance instruction, and on the 7th of Feb
ruary this bill passed the upper house
OF the Legislature. Iowa is petitioning
a very willing Legislature with very lit
tie fear of results. School superintend-
ents and college faculties are largely
represented on these petitions. Next
year Illinois will enter upon the same
work with good hope of success. Every
