THRILLING EXPERIENCE.

In San Jose, Cal, not many days
ago, one Mrs. William Kennedy was
making anxious search for her little
four-year-old, curley-headed son who
had disappeared for the moment from
the family door-yard. Hurrying
through the streets, looking and in
quiring for the little runaway, her
was directed to crowd of
people who were gazing, white and
silent with awe, at huge Windmill
tank, against which long ladder was
leaning. The eyes of the woman fol-
lowed the gaze of the crowd, and this
is what she saw; eighty feet from the
ground, holding on by his chubby
legs and one arm could be seen the
little fellow, extending his free hand
towards some pigeons that were perch
ed almost within his reach.
His awful peril had stunned and
stilled the helpless group beneath,
which now parted as the mother came
swiftly towards the scene. Then her
firm, quiet voice was heard raised
that the child migt hear: Come
down, Carl, and mamma will give
you a peach" The child heard, and
looking over his shoulder perceived
his mother. Instantly he began tC
descend, carefully clinging, round by
round, and as he neared the last, he
smiled at the upturned face of his
mother and said 3: 'I'm coming moth
err" and in another moment was in
her arms. And then that crowd sep
arated into small parties of one each,
and melted into the distance, leaving
behind them only an indistinct men,
DRY of moistened eyes and autteriug
pocket handkerchiefs.

A BOY WHO EATS WOOL.

A New London, Conn, boy aged
five, eats all the WOODEN and worsted
threads he comes across. He picks
the nap from blankets and the wors-
ted from the chair tides, and it is
hardly required to state that he is in
a constant condition of i'll health.
His affectionate mama does not know
what to cover him with when she puts
him in his little bed. His appetite is
excellent, and he eats holes through
the blanket in no time. In the par
lor and sitting-room, when he man
ages to enter those apartments, he
makes the tides and curtains look as
if an army ofmoths had been at work.
The only sure way to cure him would
be to paddock his mouth and encase
his hands in short iron gloves. But
if they let him alone and can afford
expense awhile, such food will soon
send him among the angels.-Phila-
delphia Progress.

HOW TO BREAK OFF BAD HABITS.

Understand the reasons, and all the
reasons. why there is no lingering
doubt in your mind. Avoid the
places, the persons and the thoughts
that leads to the temptations. Ere
quent the places, associate with the
persons, indulge in the thoughts that
lead away from temptation. Keep
busy; idleness is the strength of bad
habits. Do not give up the struggle
when you have broken your resolu-
tons once, twice, thrice thousand
times. That only shows how much
need there is foryou to strive. When
you have broken your resolutions.
Just think the matter over, and en-
deayor to understand why it is you
failed, 50 that you may be on your
guard against recurrence of the
same circumstance. Do not think it
an easy thing that you have under
taken. 1t is folly to expect to
break off a habit in a day which has
been gathering long years.

Delicate Women.

two in my household Swift's Specific,
the greater portion of it having been
consumed by the female portion of
my family and with the happiest re-
suits. 1t acted like charm on my
wife, who had been in bad health for
long time, and for whom | had paid
hundreds of dollars for doctors and
medicines. 1t began to build her up
from the first dose. Another female
member of my family took it with
equally satisfactory results. 1t is
certainly the best tonic for delicate
ladies that | have ever used, and |
have tried them all have no doubt
that want of exercise, close confne-
ment in poorly ventilated houses,
sewer gas poison and malarial poison
often produce sickness among our
wives, daughters and sisters, and l

for all this sort of blood poisoning. |

county are using it for this purpose,

BE HONORABLE, BOYS.

Boys and young men sometimes
start out in life with the idea that
ones success depends on sharpness
and chicancry. They imagine if
man is always able to get the best of
a bargain" no matter by what deceit
and meanness he carries his point,
that his prosperity is assured. That
is a great mistake. Enduring pros
perity cannot be founded on cunning
and dishonesty Tricky and deceit
fnl man is sure to fall victim sooner
or later, to the influences, which are
working against him. His house is
built upon the sand, and its founda-
ton is sure to give way. Young peo-
pie cannot give truths too much
weight. The future of that young
man is safe who eschews every shape
of double dealing, and lays the foun-
dation Of his career in the enduring
principles of truth.

the motions of a speakers lips and
other organs of speech so accurately

by the context, or guess work, but by
absolute recognition of their phonetic
