Ordering and Doing.

An old British army pensioner relates
this story of General Gordon: On the first
day on which fire was opened at Sebastopol
from the twenty-one-gun battery, the sand
bags forming one of the embrasures caught
fire from the flash of a too-closely mounted
gun. A corporal and q sapper of the engi-
neers were told off to repair the damage
The corporal ordered the sappar to mount
the embrasure, and proposed to hand up the
fresh bags to him. They were under heavy
fire at the time, and the sapper, with some
want of discipline, certainly, demurred to this
arrangement, and suggested that the corpo-
raj should get up, and that he the sap
peri would 60 on with the handing-up bust
ness. There was bit of wrangle over it,
Gordon, who was passing, inquired into
the matter, and quietly telleng the corporal,
"Never order man to do what you are
afraid to do yourself" got up on the pile of
bags himself, and said: "Come up here both
of you" and then ordered the men who were
working the gun to hand the bags up. The
storm of bullets swept over Gordon and the
two men, but his charmed life seemed to
protect the trio. He finished his work and
came down as coolly as he had mounted, but
the lesson was never forgotten, and there's a
fine ring about the words, Never order
man to do thing you are afraid to do your
self"

Quick.Tempered Stuff.

A man who moves around among cans of
nitro glycerine should be careful not to in
dulge in any little exhibition of irritation,
lest he may encounter quicker temper
than his own, and the result be similar 10
that described in the Philadelphia Republic :
A Buffalo janitcr kicked can of nitro
glycerine, and right then, for the first time in
his life, became really active man, inaugu-
rating proceedings by turning a double SOM
eIsalt and knocking out hodul of mortar
and brick with the back of his head at one
end of the room.
He continued the performance by kick
ing down the stove, pulling down the chan
deler, and blowing up plaster with his nose.
When the nitro-glycerine let the old man
sit down and take rest, he looked mourn.

Household Hints.

Oxalic acid will almost always remove
stains left by mud which cannot be removed
with soap and water.
Well soap the mildewed spots in linen, and
while wet scrape some chalk over the marks
and rub well in; after one or two applications
the spots will disappear.
A teaspoonful of gall in the lather, or
slight tinge Of blue keeps the color of the
black stockings; also handful of salt. A
spoonful of ammonia in the rinse is enough.
When lemons are cheap, it is prudent to
lay in good store of them, as they will keep
well by running a fine string through the nib
at the end and hanging them up in n dry
place, taking care they do not touch each
other.
A good way to remove dust from the car
pet is to fasten damp cloth over the broom
with this the dust may be literally taken up.
This will be found useful In the sick room,
and also in any room where there are many
small articles to catch dust. 1t brightens a
carpet to wipe 1t off in this way, even after
the usual sweeping has been done.

Family Life.

If there be anything which makes life
worth the living, it is TO be one of an affec-
Tomato family.
Strange to say, however, most people could
count up on the fingers ofone hand the really
nice families they know-the families, that is,
in which there is not only tender care for
each other but an unselfish department and
kindly interest always manifested by every
member OF the home circle towards every
other tellowmember.
The daughters will always fetch the
mother anything she may want, and brush
their brothers top-coats and hats for them
ere the male members of the house start off
for work in the morning.
The lads, to, will often take their sisters for
a walk, or pay them little attentions which
cost nothing and mean great deal.
This is the household into which a
young man who wants good wife will do
well and wisely to marry. There may not
be much show about the girls, but he will
find that they are compassionate, and their
dispositions stand the test ofwear.
1t is easy enough to fall in love with a
girl when she is arrayed for party and
feels the flush and pleasure of the fun.
When life deepens and darkens, however
and little family worries come in, man
wants something more than pretty draw.
ing room ornament for wife; he needs q

Two Remarkable Needles.

The International Exhibition of Needle
work, which is to be held at Sydenham in
July, 1884, will include, among other curiosi-
ties, two things which will not be the least of
the attractions of the exhibition. One is the
famous needle presented to the Emperor of
Germany last year under circumstances
worth recalling. The Emperor was visiting
the great needle mandatory at Kreuznach,
and was DESTROYS of seeing for himself the
relative power of machinery compared with
skilled hand labor. A bundle of superfine
needles was placed before him, ], 900 of which
weighed less than half an ounce, and he ex-
pressed his establishment that eyes could be
bored in such minute objects. There upon
the foreman of the boring department asked
His Majesty to give him hair from his beard,
and receiving it, he bored an eye in it, thread
ed it, and handed back to the astonished
Emperor this improvised and most peculiar
needle The other curious needle was manu-
featured at Redditch, and presented to the
Queen. 1t is sort of miniature Trajan's
column All around it are represented scenes
from the Queens life, executed so infinitely
that a magnifying glass is required to dis
tinguish them. This needle can be opened,
and within it are a number of very fine
needles, on which also scenes have been en-
graved

Advice to q Boy.

Get away from the crowd little while
every day, my boy. Stand to one side and
let the world run by whileyou get acquaint-
ed with yourself, and see what kind off |el-
low you are Ask yourself hard questions
about yourself; find out all you can about
yourself Ascertain from original sources if
you are really the manner of man people say
you are; find out if you are always honest if
you always tell the square perfect truth in
business deals if your life is as good and up
right at II o'clock at night as it is at noon !;
ifyou are as sound temperance man on a
fishing expedition as you are at Sunday
school picnic; if you are as good boy when
you 60 to Chicago as you are at home II, in
short, you really are the sort of a young man
your father hopes you are, your mother says
you are. your sweetheart believes you are.
Get on intimate terms with yourself, my boy,
and, believe me, every time you come out
from one of these private interviews you will
be Il stronger, better, purer man. Don't for
get this, and it will do you good.

How to Stop Dogs From Killing Sheep.

The writer of letter to the New York
Sun says; l have read much about sheep
killing | suggest very simple remedy
My country is a great sheep country. Every
dog in the country from the size of Spitz
dog, except shepherd dogs and hunting dogs
accompanied by their masters, are by law
compelled TO carry club fastened by string
around their necks. A dog so provided is as
good a watch dog, but in hunting for sheep
he cannot run fast enough to catch, them
nor can he jump any fence, All dogs with
out club are shot by an officer, and the
owner, when found. is fined. Such an ordi-
nance or law, if enforced, will prevent sheep
killing by dogs.

THE BRIDGEOF PRAYER.


The bridge of pray err, from heavenly heights sus-
pended,
Unites the earth with spirit realms in space (;
The interests of those separate worlds are blended
For those whose feet turn often toward that
place.
In troubled nights of sorrow and repining.
When Joy and hope seems sunk in dark despair,
We still may see, above the shadows shining
The cleaning archway OF the bridge of prayer.
From that fair height our souls may lean and
listen
To sounds of music from the farther shore,
And through the vapors sometimes dear eyes
glisten
OF loved ones who have fastened on before.
And angels come from their celestial city
And meet us half way on the bridge of prayer
God sends them forth, full of divinest pity,
To strengthen us for burdens we must bear.
o you, whose feet walk in some Swallowed byway
Far from the scenes of pleasure and delight,
Still free for you hangs this celestial highway,
Where heavenly glories dawn upon the sight.
And common paths glow with grace supernal,
And happiness walks hand in hand with care,
And faith becomes Acknowledge fixed, eternal,
For those who often seek the bridge of prayer.

Two asylum buildings, each for

corridors, (the latter to contain
quarters for the superintendent and
his family, kitchens, dining rooms,
laundry and bath rooms), can be
built of stone or brick, with brick
partitions, and completely furnished
In all respects as such institutions
should be, for $25, 900 at the outside.
In such buildings your insane would
cost no more than they do now,
$3.50 per week, while those from
other counties, for the care of whom
the county would receive $3 per
week, would yield profit of $3.50
per week each.
Suppose the average number of
inmates should be so, (and they
never would be less) you would re-
ceive from the state as ?. clear profit

If you borrow $4,000 at per
cent, to construct your buildings,
the above income will pay it off,

and in the meantime the cost of
caring for the insane will be no
more than at present, and after that
time their care will cost the county
nothing.

am in receipt of the report of
the Trustees of the Dane Co. Asy-
lum, which shows that it cost the
county nothing, and not ouly that,
but left small balance to its credit.
This asylum, while about the best
conducted, cost more to run than
any asylum under the State Board
OF Charities. In it are cared for
60 insane belonging to Dane Co.,

to Dane Co, was nothing.
In view of these facts and figures,
may not hope, gentlemen, that you
will give this matter your earnest
