CURED last night at o'clock, the We.
tim being MIR Roy Morrison, partner
Of G. M. Byers in the livery business
Morrison was called out of his stable
by two unknown mounted men and
shot down like dog. The bullet en-
tered the right side OF the face, cutting
away portion of the upper part Of the
ear and passed through the head,
coming out little higher upon the
opposite side, which plainly shows
that the poor man was looking up into
the face of his assassin when shot His
face Is badly powder burnt. After the
shooting occurred, there was consider
able talk of q posse, but there Ii now two

and their tracks are successfully con-

piness is a treasure well worth the
working for.
A mother must not allow herself
to become . mere household ma
chine and drudge; she must be
thoughtful, prevalent and painstak-
ing in doing the absolute necessa-
ries of her home work, but always
devote some hour of the twenty -four
to improve her mind; she must be
always growing; she must keep up
with the time; she must read
thoroughly at least one good news
paper a week.
A mother who does not keep up
to her children in growth and inn
provement, and. if possible, a little
ahead of them, never wins their
full respect or becomes what she
should be, a perfect example.
Above all do not oVerwork-do
not become dragged out and lose al
heart for recreative pleasure and
amusements. Make life one long
panorama of word, of play, of study
of culture, of tastefulness and o
moral goodness and happiness
Whose does this will find herself {
good mother and well fitted to 81
as queen of the household and en-
throned in the hearts of all he
gladstone and joyous subjects

whItsw ash fer outbuildings.

The following recipe is timely
and reliable: Gas we have often
good whitewash, well
applied to fences, sheds, rough sid
ing. and the walls and ceilings of
buildings, cellars, ETC., has q high
" sanitary influence, as being very
preservative in it's effects. To be
durable, whltewash should be pre-
pared in the following manner:
Take the very best stone lime, and
alake it in a close tub, covered
with a cloth to preserve the steam.
Salt-as much as can be dissolved
in the water used fer shaking and
reducing the lime-should be ap
piled, and the whole mass carefully
strained and thickened with a small
quantity of sand, the purer and
finer the better. A few pounds of
wheat -four mixed as paste may be
added, and will give greater dura-
bility to the mass, especially when
applied to the exterior surface of
buildings. With pure lime, prop
erly slaked and mixed with twice
its weight Of fine sand, and sifted
wood ashes, in equal proportions,
almost any color may be made by
the addition of pigments. Gran.
lite, slate, freestoRe and other shades
may be initiated, and without any
detriment to the durability of the
wash. This covering is very otter
applied, and with good effects, tc
underpinning, stone fences, roofs
and the walls of barns and othel
outbuildings. Probably the pure
whiteWash lis more healthy thar
the colorsd, as its alkalescent prop
critics are superior, and when used
in cellars, kitchens and sleeping
apartments produces salutary re
suits. No person who regards the
health Of his family should fail tC
have applied a coat of such white
wash every spring. Country places
especially farm outhouses, fences
ETC., are greatly improved in ap
pearance by an annual coat and i
will add to their Permauency much
more than MANY would imagine
As we all know, it is cheap anC
easily applied, so that neither ex
pense nor labor can be pleaded
against t."-Baltimorean.

The pestOfice appropriation bill,
as prepared by the committee on
aspirations OF the house, makes two
important charges in the the rate
Of postage. The rate on letters
and other sealed packages is chang
ed from two cents for each half
ounce or fraction thereof to two
cents an ounce; while the postage
on newspapers and other periodicals.
mailed from a recognized office of
publication is reduced from two
cents to one cent. Both changes
will be welcomed by the public, aud
both are in the interest OF
the people. Congress should have
no hesitation in adopting the re-
port of the com mittee.

For self-SupportinR Girls.

Girls first make up your minds
that you will do something. AL
the rest will fellow. What yoU
shall be will come more easily and
clearly in due time.
A girl Of Ii cannot decide, with
any discretion or assurance, Wheth-
er she will be sculptor or a wash
woman, farmer or a poet; but she
can decide distinctly whether it i:
her wish or her duty, after leaving
school or college, to remain Deepen
dent upon her parents or to Fl
herself for a self-providing life.
The education by which you
mean to get you bread and butter
your gloves and bonnets, is a very
different affair from that which you
take upon yourself as an ornament
and an interval in life.
The chemical experiment which
you may some day have to explain
to pupils of your own is quite an
other thing from the lesson that
you may never think of again.
The practice in bookkeeping
which may some time regulate
your dealings with flesh-and-blood
customers, becomes as interesting
as a new story.
The dull old rules for infection
and enunciation fairly turn into po-
etry, if you hope to find yourself a
great public reader SEINE coming
day.
And the very sawdust of the
French or Latin grammar becomes
ashes of roses to the stout little
fancy that dreams Of brave work
and big salary, in some foreign de-
partment at Washington or tu-
toring girls or boys for college.
All over the terrible ocean
among the lAUlesS sailors, the men
with wives and children to work
for are those who lead the gentlest
and cleanest lives.
So, on the great ocean of school
life, the girls with aims to study
fer are those whose labor is the
richest and the ripest.
All! you will never realize until
you have tried what an immense
power over the life is the power Of
possessing distinct aims The
voice, the dress, the look, the very
motions of person define and al
ter when he or she begins to live
for a reason.
1 fancy that l can select in a
crowded street the busy, blessed
women who support themselves.
They carry themselves with an air
of conscious self-respect and self
content which a shabby alpaca can
not hide, nor a bonnet silk enhance,
nor even sickness or exhaustion
quite drag out.-St. Nicholas.
