sing More.


Cultivate singing in your family.
Begin when the child is not three
years old. The songs and hymns your
childhood sang, bring them all back
to your memory and teach them to
your little ones; mix them all together
TO meet the varying mood as In after
lite they come over us so nlysteriously
al times.
Many time in the very Whirl of
business, in the sunshine and gayety
of the avenue, amid the splendor of
the drive through the park, some little
thing wakes up the memories OF early
youth--the old mill, the cool spring,
the shady tree by the little school
hOQse--and the next instant we almost
see again the rudy cheeks and smiling
faoes and the merry eyes OF school,
mates, some of whom are gray-headed
now, while most have passed from a.
mid earth's weary noises. And, anon,
the song that my mother sang springs
unbidden to the lips, and soothes and
sweetens all these memories. At other
times, amid the crushing mishaps OF
business, a merry ditty of the ,olden
time breaks in upon the ugly train of
thought, and turns the mind into
another channel; light breaks from be-
hind the clouds in the sky, and new
courage is given us. The honest man
goes gladly to his work, and when, the
days labor is done, his tools are hld
aside, and he is on his way home,
where wife and child and the tidy
table and CHEEKY tireside await him,
how can he but have music in his
heart to break forth so often into the
merry whistle or the jocund song
Moody silence, not the merry song,
weighs down the dishonest tradesnan,
the perhdious clerk, the unfuithful
servant, the perjured official.

Delinquent Taxes.

mode of collecting taxes on delinquent

court clerk is required to certify the
states part to the comptroller, who will

Driving without Hands.

y
y new method of driving horses by
means of the feet, so as to keep the
hands warm in stormy weather, has
been introduced recently. The method
can be used either with or without the
ordinary plan of hand driving, the lat
ter being rcsorted to in genial weather
If preferred. The feet rest on firm
board, and the horse is guided by
raising or lowering the toes, thus
bearing on one or the other rein
by means of straps in connection with
them, which pass over q pulley
mounted on the front board of the vehi.
Gle The drivers hands are quite free,

attached to any vehicle in a very few
minutes and can be used by very

the vehicle there is a gentle bearing on

Better And Cheaper Telephone Service.
Chicago Herald.

The Indiana Legislators has entered
in apparent good faith upon neces-
sary reform. 1t proposes a regulation
OF the telephone monopoly, whereby
the maximum of charge for the annual
use OF an instrument shall be $50.
The subject is commended to the
attention OF the Illinois Assembly in
the hope that it will give the matter
fair and earnest attention.
In Chicago the telephone service has
grown to a surprising extent, notwith
standing the execrable operation char
acteristic of the down town Office. In
this city there are probably ten thou
SIND telephones, ali owned by a single
corporation. The charge is now as
great lis when the device was an ex-
pertinent. The company, enjoying IA
monopoly operated IN part upon fran
chises granted by the public, ought to
consult the public interest. 1t is ex-
tOrtion to demand $l25 year for each
telephone III use, and it is particularly
exasperating that this toll is exactcd
for service which might greatly be i'm
proved. The failure of the company
voluntarily to reduce Its imposition
demands action upon the Legislature
which has the right to fix the max
imum of charge. Every patron OF the
telephone should insist that the charge
for the use of the instrument shall be
materially reduced and the service
adequately rendered. .lg
There is but little in life to live for.
The world is a hollow mockey, full
OF troubles, trials and bad piano-play-
erS.
We dabble in politics and bet all our
wealth on the leading man, and the

left to mourn.
We run for office, and our friends
manage for us and spend our money,
and behold we come ouJ badly scooped
and crushed financially. We marry
for wealth, and oar girls Oil man as

We deny ourselves many things in
order to lay up some cash in the bank,
and the cashier fieeth unto Canada.
And in an evil hour, when we dream
not of it, the merchant presentrth
bill for our wifes new bonnet, and the
farm and the stock goeth under mort

Woe unto man! OF how little con-
sequence is his joy.

In the evening of life he lieth down

Eous pills.

know him now only by the promisory
notes and accounts he has left unpaid.

He cometh forth in fine raimentand

Does God Protect His Day.

In northern Illinois, in 1864, 1--WE
can give the name and location, il
necessary there lived man who was
noted for his Sabbath breaking pro-
clivities. He built large barn, and as
there had been some destruction of
buildings in that region by tornadoes,
he determined TO build his barn in the
most solid and substantial manner,
boldly working ut it on the Sabbath as
on other days. He completed it to his
hearts desire, finishing it on certain
Saturday As he closed the compile
ted building, he said to his men ::
There, | have got barn now that
Cob Almighty himself cannot tear to
pieces" The next day he drove his
sheep into the barn, and devoted the
holy day to the work of steering them.
The next day, in the afternoon, a
threatening cloud appeared in the
western sky. 1t rapidly gathered vol
ume, blackness and speed. As 1t APP
preached, it assumed funnel shape,
and struck the earth right where the
new barn stood, and in a moment the
splendid structure was totally demol-
ished, and strewn in fragments over
the farm. The event made such an
impression on the mans mind that he
almost became deranged, and henever
attempted to gather up the wreck.
