A Poor Orphan Girl Borne In tho EN-

Mother.
One night, after she had crept to her
bed of rags, bruised and sore from Old
Mans daily beating, she mad heard the
South Wind softly blowing past the
window, and she whispered:

am beaten and worked and starved! Be

"Sleep, child, and / will bear your

forgot her wretchedness and, sleeping,
dreamed of green valleys and such beau

of JOY and awoke Old Nan.
GLOW dare you!" growled the hag;
and she beat the child agaio and again
for her dream.
The next night the South Wind whis-
pered at the window, and the child rose
up and asked:

"'Tis a long way to Heaven" an
swered the wind. "Have patience and
sleep again."
The child slept, and in her dreams
she sat beneath green trees ana listened
to such sweet music that Old Nan was
again awakened by her words.
"Wretch! Ingrate!' cried the old hag
in her fury; and she beat the child as il
she meant to kill her.
On the third night the South Wind
was late in coming, The child was
alone in the gloomy room, and the
fever was on her until she tossed and
moaned, and fancied strange things.
1t won't come-it won't comet
she kept calling; but by and by she
heard the rustic of the South Wind
afar off, and she had her face to the

"Did you find my motherp"
"Aye! and she bids you comet

"Wait little while and sleer

Human Endurance.

1t is an acknowledged fact that man
possesses the power of endurance to q
greater degree than any Of the lower
animals. Professional pedestrians have
been known to walk an average of one
hundred miles per day for six consecu-
tive days, which would be wonderful
accomplishment for horse, and sur
pass all the known records of that use
full animal. Of course man possessing
the power of endurance to its fullest
extent must be in perfect health. One
who Is troubled with weak urinary and
digestive organs, whose pulse is irrega-
lar, whose heart palpitates, and who
feels sense of burdensone fatigue
after the least exertion, would be very
unwise to compete in pedestrian
contest. Should you suffer from a
want of endurance, you can regain ro-
bust health and strength by using DR..

Baby's Sore Mouth, Etc.

Dear Household The ladies did so
well at first that their part of the paper
seemed to be more than filed and was
very interesting and profitable. Every
week, as soon as the paper comes, that
page is very eagerly sought by me, and,
l doubt not, by others, to see what new
thing we can learn about housekeeping;
and we should be very sorry to have
our share of the paper devoted to some
thing else, as it seems as though it
would be soon unless more are interested
in writing for it. SO this week will
send my mite, although a very small
one. - My baby has had very
bad mouth, so filled with canker, and |
tried all the remedies knew of in vain
until a medicine made from the follow
ing recipe was sent me; Break the
small end of an egg and turn out the
egg; fill the shell with equal parts sage
and goldthread and piece of borax the
size of small bean; then fill with honey
and simmer in hot ashes. Great care
must be taken not to have a coal too
near the shell, as it will burn so quickly.
When this mixture has boiled pour off
the liquid and fill again with honey;
boil as before. This may be repeated
until the strength is out of the sage and
goldthread. This is so valuable rem
edy, curing the most obstinate baby
sore mouth, think all mothers ought
to know of it, and would do well to try
it if troubled. 1t is also very good for
older people troubled with canker.
- l would like to ask what is best
to do with amaryllis during winter;
whether they want the light and care
all winter or may be put away to rest.
- Also whether there is a gourd
whose fruit resembles an egg. have
read of such, the fruit so nearly resem-
bling an egg it could hardly be told
from one. l sent for the seed of the
nest-egg gourd last spring, but the fruit
more nearly resembles small pumpkins
- | would also like to ask whether
to get nice varieties of plum-trees it is
better to graft or plant stones from va
rieties required. E. l.. M.

A Lambrequin---Reci

A very pretty lambrequin is made by
taking some dark cloth, the desired
length and about eight inches wide; cut
points about three inches deep and put
a tassel made of different colored
worsteds on and between every point.
Take either cloth or paper flowers
(cloth flowers can be found on most all
the large-fgured prints and paper
flowers on some pretty wall paper and
put one flower TO every fourth point;
have them all alike and large enough to
reach nearly from the top to the bottom.
If cloth flowers are put on, work them
on button-hole stitch; if paper, paste
them on. This makes nice-looking
lambrequin, although it is cheap.
TOMATO PICKLEs.-Wa and slice

and allspice to taste. Boil ten minutes.
Turn this on to the pickles while hot.
Put them away where it is cool and
they will keep year.

That It had come-N November.

The village seat of learning,
Across the smooth well-trodden path
My homeward footsteps turning.
My heart a troubled question bore,
And in my mind. as oft before,
A vexing thought was burning.
Why is 1t uphill all the way?"
Thus ran my meditations;
The lessons had gone wrong that day,
And had lost my patience.
Is there no way to soften care,
And make 1t easier to bear
LIES sorrows and vexations?"
Across my pathway in the woods
A fallen tree was lying;
On this there sat two little girls,
And one of them was crying.
Iheard her sob, And If | could,
I'd get my lessons awful good,
But what's the use of trying?"
And as the little hooded head
Sank on the others shoulder,
The little weeper sought the arms
That opened to enfold her.
Against the young heart kind ana true
She nestled close. and neither knew
That was beholder.
And then I heard-ab! ne'er was known
Such judgment without malice;
Nor queenlier counsel ever heard
In senate, house or palacel-

if the branches are crowded. We think
something interferes with the thrift of
the plant-either insects, unsuitable
soil, or unsuitable situation. A moder-

with strawy litter would be likely to re-
store its thrift. Pruning can be done al
any time if needed.
