JACKS MISTAKE.
A THANKSGIVING STORY.

"We must try to keep Thanksgiving Day after a fashion," sighed Mrs. Spikenard to her daughter Florella; though, to be sure, two poor chickens and bought pie won't be much of a dinner.
 "IIow different it used to be in the country, where we used to kill the fattest gobbler in the flock for Thanks giving dinner, and made pumpkin pies with scuds of fresh eggs and rich milk in 'em An fur vegetables, we had sweet potatoes, an squash, an pickled cabbage, an But, law it's different in the city-that is, if you ain't made of moneyl The markets are lined with turkeys an fowls of all kinds, an vegetables by the wagon load; but it takes a forchin to get 'em almost. give thirty five cents fur them two pore-lookin' chickens, an ten fur that little measure of turnips. I did want to git few cramterries fur sass, but Jack had sot his heart on havin' pie, so got one"
 Mrs. Spikenard shook her head as she turned over the contents of the little worn market-bask on the kitchen table.
 "Oh, we can make quiet nice din ner of these," said Florella, lifting up the chickens; and I have a nickel left, We can buy dish of jelly with it. Iwalke1 home tonight, and saved it on purpose"
 "But it won't seem quite like a Thanksgiving dinner unless we have some one to help us eat it." persisted Mrs. Spikenard. "Pve allus been used to havia' the house full on Thanks giving Day, an it don't seem jest right to set down an eat what we've got all by ourselves"
 "There's old MT. Barber. that lives up in the third story," suggested Flor ella. "He's as poor as we are, if not poorer. Suppose we ask him to eat dinner with us?"
 "Why, to-be-sure," said heS mother brightening up. "Pll send Jack III z to ask him as soon as he comes in."
 The Spikenards occupied two tiny rooms in the back part of respectable three story house in Cote Brilliante.
 The rooms were small and not very comfortable, to-be-sure, but they wert decent and cheap, and poor as the! were it took about all Florella could earn as "saleslady," in commercial house down town, to pay the rent ant buy food, fuel and clothing for herself her mother, and eighty earold Jack who went to school, and wore ou more jackets and trowsers than h was worth, so his mother declared.
 Jack soon came in from the bakery where he had been sent for loaf o bread, and was at once dispatched t invite old MT. Barber to the Thanks giving dinner the next day.
 Mrs. Spikenard was setting the ta ble for supper. and Florella was cut ting the loaf of bread, when he cam running back.
 "All right, mother ! MT. Barcla. says he'll come.'
 "Mr. Barclay" cried Florella.
 "NIr. Barclay p shrieked the widow "Oh, Jack, you never asked him."
 "Yes, I did," declared Jack, boldly "Why, you told me to ask him !'
 "I said MT. Barber, you dreadfr boy! And now, what are we going do?"
 Florella began to cry.
 1.-TWO little chickens as big as pa tridges, and a few miserable turniI and pie. Oh, Jack, Jack! whf made you do such a thing?"
 "WeIl, shall I go back and tell hil not to come?" asked the boy, pra tically.

Sportsmen should be careful not to eat from meat of animals which have been much tortured by dogs during the death agony. Dr. Delmars of the National Society of AIicroscopists, in examining samples of the meat the eating of which had killed several per sons in Momence, H., found changes which were clearly attributable to a frenzied condition of the animals from which it was taken. The Doctors opinions upon the subject were formed after careful microscopical examina- tions of hundreds of samples of meat from cattle slaughtered in Chicago while they were in a frenzied condi- tion from fright.

A Closet for Medicines.

Keep if you can, a closet for the sole use of medicines, and appliances for sickness or accidents. X narrow, high chimney side closet answers the pur- pose admirably with shelves half way down and deep drawers to fill the re- maining space. Bundles of old, soft cotton and linen pieces, roll of cot ton batting and flannel, the rubber water bag, medicine dropper, bed pan, and feeding cup, and every thing needed in an emergency or long sickness. Have every vial plainly labeled, those marked poison place al ways on the upper shelf. Keep the whole under lock and key, the key beyond the reach of children, but easily accessible to older members of the family.--Good Housekeeping.

Two signs in the window of deal CT in surgical appliances in New York read; "Old Style Leg" and "New Style Leg" They show that there is a fashion in artificial legs. The old style leg consisted of short wooden stump and socket, which was to be fastened to tke remaining portion of the member by stout broad strap. It was of the same style usually ex- hibited in picture books and on the comic opera stage. The new style leg was flesh-colored copy a human leg and foot, light and apparently as com fortable as cripple would require.

A grain ranch in California has been visited by a correspondent and described as a sample of the farms of the region. The house, standing un- der broad nut trees, is plain, partly of logs boarded over, but roomy and con- fortable in that climate. though it would be thought rough and rickety for an Eastern farmer. "The parlor has brussels carpet, piano, haircloth furniture and pictures; the family room and guest chamber have heavy, good carpets and old-fashioned ma hogany, dating years ahead of any art period The family live well, taking three newspapers and a maga- zine for the children. The wife has her silk gowns and gold watch, her gilt china and solid silverware; but the ranch is seven miles from any yil- lage, and she has not been off the place for five years or had visitor in that time"

Argentine is the only country in South America where photographers are not permitted to sell pictures of local beauties. In Chilli, Peru, Uruguay, and other countries you can find photographs of society bellies on sale at all the news stands and pie ture stores, like those of actresses with us, and the measure of girls popu- larity is estimated by the number sold but in Argentine no photographer dare let a print of one of his clients go out of his hands.

Dangerous Medicines for Children.


 The British Medical Journal says: It is well known that in every house. hold a great deal of useless and un- necessary medication is carried on by parents among the youthful members of the family. As a rule, resort is had to medicines that are practically safe, and which experience has shown to be innocuous; but there is also, we fear, a tendency to employ drugs which should only be administered by the family physician, without call ing in medical aid. An instance of this was furnished by a trial which took place at Hamilton, where father was placed in the dock, on the charge of culpable homicide, for administer ing four drops of laudanun to child five weeks old, with the result that it became unconscious and died within the next few hours. There was no evidence that she medicine had been given with any criminal intent, and the jury very properly acquitted the parent, whose mental suffering must have been sufficient punishment for the indiscretion of which he had been guilty; but the facts brought out in connection with the case cannot be too widely known. They may serve to impress more forcibly on the public what is we'll known and universally admitted, that there is extreme sus- ceptibility on the part of children, especially within the first few weeks of life, to the influence of opium in any form, and that it should never be given except under medical guidance and sanction. The evidence of some of the witnesses at the trial showed the hay notions that exist as to the administration of laudanum to chil- dren, some holding that drop of laudanum for each week of the age was perfectly safe, while others were not prepared to go such lengths. Where the issues involved are those of life or death, it would be we'll to follow the rule we have given above; for, where a child is i'll enough to re- quire an oriate, the sooner medical advice is procured the better.

located for years In this county and is
highly respect ed, and is Nell qualified
