A special Notice to Our Readers.

The COTTAGE HEARTH is, as its name indi-
Gates, a home magazine, and to those who are
acquainted with it, needs no higher ecommen-
dalton than to say it is better than ever before.
For ten years it has had q steady growth both
in circulation and literary quality, and now is
a most excellent home magazine, crammed full
of good things, among which there is always
something to amuse or instruct every member
of the family. Its poetry is by some of our
very best writers, its short stories entertain
ing, its descriptive sketches most attractively
other home subjects are ofgreatp practical value.
Special features of this interesting magazine
are original stories and poems by the best
merican writers, and among its recent con-
tributors we notice Edward Everett Hale, Lucy
Larcom, Celia Thaxter, George Macdonald,
Louise Chandler Moulton, Joaquin Miller,
Mrs. A. NJ. Diaz, Thos. S. Collier and B.. p. Shil-
laber. Its departments of music, fancy-work,
Horticulture, fashions, receipts and household
hints are filled each month with articles of
great practical worth, and will prove invalua-
BILE to ladies. We would especially commend
to our young readers the Young Folks De-
partment where they will find puzzles and
games, with prizes offered for correct solu-
ton. In fact, the magazine from its old-time
fireplace on its front cover, all through its we'll
printed and Observation-Disclosures pages, is
wholesome and interesting, and taking the
magazine, all in all, we do not see how a family
can get along without its monthly visits. We
are therefore glad to call our readers attention
to the fact that we offer the COTTAGE HEARTH
for a year, free of charge,

KEEP THE SOUL ON TOP.

Little BERTHE Bivan had just finished li
dinner. He was in the cosy library. keep
ing still for a few moments after eating
according to his mothers rule. She got i
from the family doctor, and a good rule i
is. BERTHE was sitting in his own rocking
chair before the pleasant CRATE fire. He
had in his hand two fine apples-a rich RED
and a green. His father sat at a window
reading a newspaper. Presently he heard
the child say:
Thank you, little MASTER Dropping
his paper he said:
Il thought you were alone, BERTHE. Who
was here just now ?"
Nobody, papa, only you and l.
Didn't you say just now, Thank you,
little master?'' The child did not answer
at first. but laughed a shy laugh. Soon he
said: I'm afraid you'll laugh at me if ]
tell you, papa"
well, you hay. just laughed, and why
mayn't II"
"But ] mean you'll make fun of me-.
No, | y won't make fun of you: but per-
haps I'll have fun with you. That will
help us digest our roast beef"
sT1l tell you about it, papa. l had
eaten my red apple, and wanted to eat the
green one, too. Just then | remembered
something | learned in school about eating,
and thought one big apple was enough.
My stomach will be glad if | don't give it
the green one to grind. 1t seemed for a
minute just as if it said to me, Thank you
little MASTER but know | said it my
self"
'Bertie, what is it Miss McLaren has
been teaching about eating ?"
sShe told us to be careful not to give
orr stomachs too much food to grind. If
we do, she says it will make bad blood,
that will run into our brains and make us
dull and stupid, SO that we can't get our
lessons well. and perhaps give us headache,
too. II we give our stomachs just enough
work to do they will give us pure, lively
blood that will make us feel bright and
cheerful in school. Miss McLaren says
that sometimes, when she eats too much
of something that she likes very much, it
seems almost as if her stomach moaned
and complained: but when she denies her
self and dosen't eat too much it seems as if
it were thankful and glad"
That's as good preaching as the minis
ter's, BERTHE. What more did Miss Me-
Laren tell you about this matter27
''She taught us a verse one day about
keeping the soul on top. That wasn't just
the words, but it what she meant
At this papa's paper went suddenly right
up before his face. When, in a minute, it
dropped down, there wasn't any laugh ON
his face as lie said:
weren't these the words, I keep my
body under?''
''oh, yes. that was it; but it means just
the same. If 1 keep my body under of
course my soul is ON top"
''Of course it is my boy. Keep your
soul on top, and you'll belong to the
grandest style of man hat walks the earth. "

Never write an address on a letter or any

a careless manner
Wedding cake can only be mailed when
tioneries the same.
A book presented for mailing with a let
ter attached to it would subject the entire
package to letter rates.
Send no cash money by mail. 1t is much
safer and cheaper in the long run to buy a
money order or postal note.
Matter inclosed in a sealed envelope,
though the corners may be cut or the ends
notched, is subject to letter rates.
If you wanted to send a suit of clothes
by mail, which weighed six pounds, you
would have to make two packages of it.
Liquids, poisons, explosives and inflam-
mable articles are not received for mailing,
no matter how carefully wrapped.
Chromos, engrayings, or autographs be-
long to the third class, and can be sent at

Every business man should Use return

it subjects the entire package to fourth
