GUS planks in their declaration of princi-
pies, without reaching any definite result

mended the adoption of a resolution ask
ing President Arthur to appoint August
Donald for Commissioner of Labor Stats

One delegate suggested that criticising

favor of him the next, placed the con
v~ention in a peculiar position. The fact
was developed that certain of the dele
gates favored other men for the position
The resolution was finally voted down.

Books in the Home.

II would urge, says Ruskin, upon
every young man at the beginning of his
due and wise provision for his house
hold, to obtain as soon as he can by the
strictest economy, restricted, service
able, and steadily-howeyer slowly-in-
creasing series of books for use through
life" This excellent advice, which is
given in the preface to the little book,
HSesame and Lilies" if followed out,
would do what we sometimes call mis-
sionary work, says writer IN the New
York Evening Post. Who can doubt if
it were made a rule when the household
just assumes form aud consists OF but
two members, who usually think alike,
for time at least, that it would become
habit, and in counting over the
necessary expenses so much
year would be put aside for books as a
matter of course, and TO the lasting BEN
eft of all the future inmates of the
home? It may not occur to tae young
man and woman who found the home
that the greatest safeguard Of it viii
prove to be the tastes they haze in COM
mon, over which time has no power, and
to love the same books, to approve Of
the same author and to take n delight
in his work will form bond not easily
broken. OF course it may be possible
for a man and woman toreld S haks-
peare and to enjoy him and still to quar-
rel, but il is not very likely that they
will do so, for all the likeness of mind
which leads them to enjoy him are links
in the chain that binds them. The
associations that are connected
with home books are
never readily forgotten or overlooked,
and sons and daughters have been led
away from temptation by these cold
but sure friends, the books that moth
err priced or that mother loved. How
ever the mistress of the house may re-
gard her duties to these employed by
her, she cannot very well put out of
sight the fact that, If her servants read
anything worth reading, it must be pro-
vided 10y her For this reason | advo-
cate having two or three shelves in the
dining room, On these should be
placed not only the cook book and tho
literature of the kitchen, but some 9TH
er good books and papers; let it be IN
derstood that these may he taken and
read at any time. 1t Is
just possible that some of these,
like the Bibles in the cars, may not be
used, but it is not probable. If any one
fears that taste for reading will inter-
fere with legitimate performances Of
duties, would like to cite to her the
case of woman whom | know who
reads Carlyle, and quotes Burns, and is
also an accomplished cook, and one of
the most conscientious diggers-out Of
corners ever employed as a maid of all
work. A iudicious selection OF cook
books is an actual inspiration to a girl,
and perusal of them will lead to that
intelligentinterest in work which makes
| it pleasurable

tingly, IF 1 do not feel inclined even to
sit up in bed ?"
ssYou will feel inclined" was the re-
ply, in decided tone. II know the
power of my medicine The trouble
will be to keep you from going farther.
And the doctor went home, having
already effected half of the cure.
In two days he called again. He
found his patient sitting up in bed, her
eyes bent attentively upon her watch,
which she held in her hand, waiting for
a half minute to expire before she could
take her medicine.
This is just as it should be, said
the doctor in a cheerful voice. II see
by your improvement that you have
kept your promise"
Miss Dickford swallowed her powder
and looked up at her visitor.
''Now you feel restless and tired of
the bed, and would like to make another
move" said the doctor in confident
tone.
"Yes-may II"
mot to day." was the decided reply.
Il will call again tomorrow, and if you
continue to improve so rapidly-whi,h
You certainly will if you follow my
orders strietly--you may occupy an arm
chair"
BY the next day Miss Dickford was
ready to get up.
Your medicine is really wonderful,
| DOCTOR" said she. Just think how
many years have lain there, unable to
raise my head. and now you are curing
me so quickly"
Il knew there would be no difficulty
ifI could only have my orders obeyed,
was the reply.
The next step in her recovery was
walking. This had to be undertaken
very cautiously, for she had been
out of practic so long that she had en-
tirelJ forgotten how, and the lessons of
| her babyhood had to be taught her
over again. 1t 9as all accomplished,
however, in good time, and at the end
| of three weeks she had thrown aside
clutches and all other assistance, and
was walking with as steady a step as
! any one.
Miss Dickford could not say enough
in praise of the new doctor. His won
