A PaIace-Car for Babies.

A lady writes to Babyhood: 81
should like to suggest plan l have
tried for protecting babies from
draughts while on the floor, consist
of box two feet by three feet, and
just high enough to allow baby to
look over the top as she sits on the
bottom of the box. Fasten strong
cleats to each end, and into these
put good casters. Pad the sides
and cover with pretty calico, Put
several layers of newspaper on the
bottom and cover with carpet. In
such warm box my little girl
spent most of the winter. Her
playthings were within reach. In
it she learned to creep and to
stand, the sides being 80 soft bump
did not hurt her. Her little
brothers amused her by rolling it
about the floor. 1t did not take up
as much room as baby and her
scattered playthings. 1t deserved
the name the children bestowed Oh
it,-sThe PdlGce- Car.'"

"Isom, amt you afraid of

"No, sab; dat I amt, young mas

mans face lighted up with smile.

First Cattle In America.

The first herd of cattle known on
the continent of America were
brought by Columbus on his second
voyage. From these, and from
other small herds brought by later
Spanish navigators, the wild cattle
of South America descended. In
1868, the Portuguese took cattle
and hogs to Newfoundland and
Nova Scotia. The Canadian cattle
were introduced in 1908. In 1926
Virginia had 500 head of cattle
The most stringent laws were pass.
ed prohibiting the killing of any
domestic animal. In New Eng
land, cattle were introduced in
1924. 1t is said that for a time
prices were regulated by color, q
red calf being cheaper than a black
one, because it was more likely to
be mistaken by the wolves for 8
deer, and killed.

The Worlds Humiliation.

Is it not just a little humiliating
to know and realize that infdel
Paris is the seat and center of the
fashionable world that her slavish
DEGREES are implicitly followed by
the mothers and daughters of our
land--decrees designed to keep
them in servitude to the fashions
of earth, to crafty vulgar taste
and pride; not to enrich, to emo
BILE the mind? Hundreds of thou
sands of American homes have been
despoiled of that is restful, helpful
and ennobling, by an insane desire
to keep in the fashion.-PreSbyte

anxiety, and wondering why the
Church is losing it's power over
men, and why the epidemic of un-
belief and disbelief is sweeping on
and on?
Isn't it time to act? When the
liquor traffic is defying law and
throttling officers; when it paraly-
zes courts and manipulates Legis-
latures when it attempts to muzzle
a distinguished Senator like Col
quit, and depose from office another
such able Senator as Blair; when
it lays its hand on the Secretary OF
the U. S. Treasury, and forces out
of him a gift of millions of dollars,
as it did when Secretary McCulloch
was induced to extend the bonded
period when it invades the prim.
aries, those political nurseries of
the land, and turns them into little
else than pot-house gatherings
isn't it time then to strike as il we
meant it?

When Easter Comes.

Easter day always falls on the
first Sunday after the first full
moon after the 21st of March, and
if a full moon happened on Sun
day, Easter day was the following
Sunday. By this rule Easter may
come as early as the 22nd of March,
or as late as the 25th of April, a
difference of nearly five weeks. In
1918 it fell on March 22nd in 1915
and 1855 on March 23rd. In 1S4S
it fell on April 23rd; and in 1859
on April Oath. This year, it will
fall on April 25th, the latest it can
occur.

Home Folks.
Hasty Marriages.

When young people 60 into an
engagement for life as carelessly as
they 60 to a picnic, they must
expect to pay for their folly with
their bitter experience. With
thousands, a marriage engagement
is a matter of boyish or girlish
caprice. Sometimes wife is
sought for a gross qualification of
sensual appetite; sometimes as a
shrewd pecuniary speculation
sometimes to secure support for
shiftless laziness from father-in-
faw. Such violations of the sacred
core idea of wedlock often end in
the divorce-courts or in some other
form OF permanent separation. II
wise marriages are "made in
heaven" then the hasty, loose,
selfish, or libidinous sort are the
handiwork of the devil. l would
like to whisper in every young
lady's ear-never be "to be had'
too cheaply; never say Eyes" too
hastily; never accept a man who
can not offer you a love without a
rival and a character without a
stain. Common sense, industrious
habits, warm heart, and the
Bible-conscience are first requisites.
When young man can lay these
at your feet, be careful how you
say "no" to him. You may be
sorry for it, and by and by take up
with sorry stick from a silly fear
of being laughed at as an "old
maid" But the easier the divorce
process is made, the more numerous
will be the hasty, reckless, and ILL
assorted marriages.-Dr. T. L. Guy.

FACT AND FUN COLUMN.
Picked up by the Freeman.

When a man nearly breaks his
neck getting out of the way OF q
lightning bug, supposing it to be
the headlight of locomotive, it is
time for him to sign the pledge

Charley: "Your nose and chin
are coming very close together,
grandpapa. They'll get to fighting
before long" Grandpapa: II am
afraid 30 myself, dear. A great
many words have passed between
them already"
Young man, if you lie around
waiting for "job" you will never
get it. You must tackle some
thing, whether it be bod or a
wheelbarrow, and if you have the
right sort of stuff in you, you will
soon be hiring others to do the like
for you.- Wetzel Democrat.
A lady was caressing pretty
spaniel and murmuring, II do love

dandy, standing near, II would |

ed the young lady, sharply, "You'll

Lucy, miss of ten years, was on
board steamship. CHANGING at
the steam-guage, visible through a
window in the engine room, she
cried, ooh, mamma dear, it's sixty
o'clock: 1 didn't know it ever got
that late!"
Little Charlie sometimes gets his
thoughts mixed up, as when he said
in his prayer: 30 Lord, bless
Charlie and make him good boy ;
if at first you don't succeed, try,

Why Hard Times.

In his new years address, Rev.
7. L. Cuyler says:
"These are hard times I'll
tell you why. This nation is spend
ing more money for intoxicating
drink than for all the bread it eats,
and all the clothes it wears, all the
books it reads. If every one of its
drinking saloons could be shut up
forever, we should have good times
in thirty days. You will have
hard times this year if you attempt
to support yourself and family, and
also a lazy liquor sellers family
besides"

Right will Prevail.

The general upheaval of society
over the strife between labor and
capital, necessarily produces quak-
ings and forebodings throughout
the land. 1t would seem as though
the foundations of society were be-
ing moved. The wisest are at
their wits end. AS to the final
outcome there can be no doubt
The right will prevail, and society
will be lifted onto higher plane
