European doctors have stated that
raisins cured in the countries of Eur
rope where cholera prevails, or raisins
passing through cholera districts, may
transmit the disease, and are very
likely to do so. Raisins are peculiarly

Grip is part coach dog. So, one day
Uncle John asked:

Bonnets made up of some fanciful
fabric over a frame of wires are to be
used for dress occasions, and these are
marked by an abundance of color and
gay contrasts; indeed, monotone bon
net is the exception instead of the rule,
as it was last year. The new feature in
making such bonnets is to arrange the
material in lengthwise pleats or in a
soft puff down each side, beginning at
the top, and crossing from back to front,
extending to the lowest edge on the sides.
When this is done with one of the eta
mine scarfs of many colors the pointed
ends are first adjusted in loops at the
top. and the scarf is then gathered or
else laid in three lengthwise pleats be-
low; the middle of the crown is covered
with velvet, over which this scarf is
Tapped, and some loops of velvet ribbon
are added on top. Still more dressy
bonnets are made of the embroidered
silk muslin scarfs, and to these are
added punches of flowers or 4 small
feather aigrctte. -Harpcrs' Ba:ar.

FOB OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
"oNLY A STICK AT A TIME"


remember story my father told
For u lesson TO us boys.
Work doesn't consist in talk" said ne,
+" Or in making a deal of noise.
- It's getting down to the thing to be done
And steadily pegging away,
And tho first you know the job is done
And plenty of time for play"
One day my father said: "Tom, see here!
We've drawn up the'winter's wood,
And somebody's got to pile it up.
Do you know a boy who could?'
He thought dollar would be enough
TO pay for job like that
And so did |, for wouldn't it buy
Some skates or ball and bat?
4" I'll do it," l said, and ran out to see
The wood | must pile away;
And the sight of it almost took my breath
And fHied inc with dismay.
They had heaped the wood by the old shed
Til the door was hid from sight
Load upon load all along the path,
Wood 10 the left and right.
Why, never can pile that all away"
/ said, with a long, long sigh;
For the task before me looked so large
hadn the courage to try.
Ny father oauo out and stopped, surprised,
My rueful face TO see,
And asked, in his cheerful kindly way,
WhatiG was that troubled me-
81 The pile is SO big" answered him,
And was almost ready to cry;
And 1t seemed " grow, and grow, and
Til it almost reached the sky
'.of course, you can't Pile it AL at once;
ono SICK at time, my son;
Little hy late, and very soon
You hnd The work is done.
81 Don't think Of the great, big heap, my boy,
But sbuTdiy now begin,
And take the sticks as you come to them
And u wager that you'll vim
So fell 10 work, and stick by stick
piled tine wood in the shed.
l did not watch the heap outside,
But the growing pile instead
1 whstlod merrily at my work,
And whistliug made it play:
And So tn the winter day was done,
piled Jife wood away.
We'll, boys, the task ! had thought so great
| finished the second day,
And learned a lesson then and thCre
That's noped me all the way.
Whenever there's something to be done,
Don't stand and wait and dread,
Till courage weakens-nO, my boys;
But go TO work instead.
It's steady and sturdy work that counts
In this life of ours my son;
Little by little, in patient toll
The mightleSt deeds are done
Remember, it isn't all done at once:
It's step by step we climb
To the mountain top, and so all through
It's only a stick at time"
