There is no power of love 80 hard to
keep as kind voice. A kind hand is
deaf and dumb. 1t may be rough in
flesh and blood, yet do the work of q
soft heart. and do it with soft touch.
But there is no one thing it SO much
needs as sweet voice to tell what il
means and feels, and it is hard to get
it and keep it in the right tone. One
must start in you h. and be on the
watch night and day. at work and while
at play, to get and keep voice that
shall speak ut all times the thought of
kind heart. But this is the time
when q sharp voice is most apt to be
got. You often hear boys and girls say
words at play with quick, sharp tone
as If il were the snap of whip.
III any OF them get vexed you will
hear q voice that sounds as if it were
made up of snarl, whine, and a bark.
Such voice often speaks worse than
the heart feels. It shows more ill-will
in tone than in words. It is often in
mirth that one gets voice or q tone
that is sharp, and it sticks to him through
life. and stirs up ill-will and grief, and
falls like drop OF gall on the sweet
joys at home. Such as these get a
sharp home voice for use and keep
their best voice for those they meet
elsewhere, just as they would save their
best cakes and pies for guests and all
their sour food for their own board. 1
would say to all girls and boys, use
your best voice at home" Watch it by
day as pearl of great price. for it will
be worth more to you in the days to
come than the best pearl hid in the sea.
A kind voice is lArk's song to hears
and home. 1t is to the heart what light
is to the eye.-Anon.

The Beaver.

The quickness with which colony
their peace is astonishing; yet if their
numbers are undisturbed, or dimin-
ished but gradually, even the presence
of civilization will not drive them from
their haunts. To-day beaver are re-
turning to streams in Michigan, long
ago abandoned by their race, simply
because they find themselves unmolest-
ed, the demand for beaver-peltry being
slight, and the prices paid out of all
proportion to the labor entailed in
trapping. 1t has been said that, If O
dam or house be once injured by the
hand of man, the colony at once disap-
pears. But that this is fallacious is
proved by the following: Twenty-Five
miles from Marquette, Mich, on the
Carp River, beaver colony began the
erection of new dam. Though the
embankment of railway ran nearly
parallel with the stream. and trains
passed backward and forward daily.
they seemed in no way disturbed, and
worked steadily on until the water had
risen foot or more. The trackmaster,
observing that this endangered the iine
for the embnnkment had been util-
lied as q wing OF the dam ordered the
water drawn off. But the following
day the beavers had repaired the dam
age done them, and the water was at
its former height. Again and again was
the dam cut through, and as often
would it be repaired. All in all it was
ont and rapoirad sona fiftean or twentv
times ere the beavers were sufficiently
discouraged to abandon their attempts.

Abraham Lincoln, while resident of

cations. With all the rest he was

KlTTY'S COOKING EXPERIMENT.
BY M. G. FARLEY.

The band was playing the Beautiful
Blue Danube but John was too angry
to care for the music. He hurried his
pretty fdnce into the conservatory,
and hidden behind tall palm whis-
pered fiercely in her ear, "You promised
me that you wouldn't dance again with
that Fitz Simmonds. and I've counted
three waltZes, besides polka or two.
WHAT does this mean, Kitty?'
Il think it means that you're inclined
to find fault with me, John, and to be
jealous. Kitty smiled saucily up into
her companions angry face.
But your promise, Kitty; what of
that?"
"To be sure, John, / told you L
would not waltz again with Fitz Sim
monds. But you know promises are
like pie-crusts-made to be broken,
and l couldn't help it. Fitz dances
divinely."
@Fitz Simmonds is a cowardly sneak"
burst out young Mason, in quick pas
sion. "And forbid you to dance with
him again"
lyon forbid me-" repeated Kitty with
whitening emphasis and proud toss of
her head.
"Yes. forbid you," retorted John
in q sudden heat Il will not permit
my wife to go dancing around any ball,
room with Fitz Simmond's arms about
her waist"
A dangerous flash shot from Mis-
Kitty's eyes.
"In the first place. Mr.. Mason, you
are ridiculously jealous. And in the
second place permit me to return your
ring, and to inform you that so far as L
can help it you will never have wife
to dance around ballroom with any
body"
John ground the tiny ring under his
heel.
"Now, Kitty, -
But there was no Kitty. She had
disappeared like flash among the
throng at the open door. And ten
minutes later he saw her handed to the
carriage by his hated rival.
If John Mason retired to his couch
that night, or rather that morning
for the hour was long enough past mid
night-In no enviable frame of mind,
what must have been Kitty's feelings
as she sought the privacy of her own
room, and meditated upon the downfall
of all her former hopes. Two stray
tears trickled down her dear little nose
as she put up her crimps before the
glass and caught a glimpse of the ring
less forefinger whereon Johns diamond
had so long had an abiding place.
"As il anybody could care two straws
for Fits Simmonds, the silly thing" said
Kitty, GROSSLY, getting into bed. And
John-oh dear me. No girl in the
world ever had so much trouble as /. I"
Long enough before Kitty's blue eyes
opened John Mason had packed his
val;Se and announced to his mother
that he intended to 60 out into the
country and spend the summer
at one of his places down the
river, and that on no account was she
TO send him any messages, invitations,
or anything else. He declared savagely
that he hated the world. "All he
asked now was to be let alone" and
away he went.
