HrMOR IN THE FAMILY.

Good humor is rightly reekoned a most
valuable aid 10 happy home life. An
equally good and useful faculty is a sense
Of humor or the capacity to have a little
amusement along with the hnmdrum cares
and work Of life. We all know how it
b~rightens np things generally to have a
lively, witty companion who sees the
Ridiculous point of things, and who can
turn an annoyance into an occasion for
laughter. 1t does a great deal better to
laugh over some domestic mishaps than to
cry OF scnld over them. It is well TO turn
oil an impatient question sometimes, and
10 regard it from a humorous point of
view. instead of becoming irritated about
it. .Wife. what is the reason | can never
find a clean shirt ?' exclaimed a good but
rather impatient husband, after rummag-
ing through the wrong drawer. His wife
looked at him steadily for a moment. half
inclined to be provoked; then, with a
comical look, she said: Il never could
guess ~conundrums; l give it up. Then
he laughed, and they both laughed, and
she went and got has shirt, and he felt
ashamed of himself aud kissed her. and
then she felt happy; and so what might
have been an occasion for unkind feelings
and hard words became just the contrary,
all through the little vein of humor that
cropped ont TO the surface. Laughter is
better than tears. Let Us have a little
more of it at home.-Lutheran.

PRAYING AM DIETING.

Rev. j. Clymer, in his admirable little
work on Food and Morals sees clearly
the means 10 be tried in the following case
and a great many like it. In fact if points
to the remedy in a great many evils: "a
father. by prayer and precept and flogging,
had done his best to reform his boy. whose
staple diet was meat and sausage, and pie
and cake at his meals, with lunch between.
The family physician said to the father:
If yon put a leech back OF each Of your
boys ears once a week for a month you
will do more to reform him than your
preaching and pounding will do in a year
The father asked for the philosophy OF this
prescription. Why, said the doctor,
your boy has bad blood and too much of
it.; he must behave badly ot he would
burst. Then, said the father, IN
change his diet from beef and pie TO
hominy and milk. In three months there
after a better boy Of his age could not be
found in the neishborhood. The acrid,
biting evil blood had NOT become food for
leeches, but had passed away, and a cooler
order, blander power. safer blood had been
supplied from sweeter. gentler food SER

Il won't said Richard.
Yes you Will. Bessie, just take the
reins; Mr.. Dale likes To have little girls
drive, said Julie. Bessie took the reins,
and Richard, leaning back in his seat with
an air of Indifference, was driven into the
pretty garden where Dolly, standing upon
a ladder, was tying mp honeysuckles.
Richard only raised his hat slightly
when Dolly turned and viewed this
very unexpected trio, but Julie exclaimed:
Dolly, dear. I've telegraphed George that
all Sunnydale has gone quite mad, except
We three. Bessie hung my red collar on
the hat stand. Mr.. Dale caught his coat in
it that day he came to see grandpa. when !

saw him with a piece of my fringe hanging
to his coat, and, behold, all the world ac-
cuscd us OF flirting. We never knew a
word of it till this morning. and now We
are taking Bess around, who is proud to
confess her performance
Dolly's face gIowed aud dimpled as she
looked at Julie. Bessie has a good deal
to answer for. she said trying to appear
joking, but the deepening blush told Rich
ard exactly what she meant, and the change
in his looks, voice and manner showed So
much to Julie that after "A few mere words
she exclaimed to her sister: Bessie, you
are crushing me, yon roly-poly ball.
Let's get out and go to see Miss Lawndes.
I'm ready to face all the world, with my

Richard offered to drive her where she
wished to 90, but she insisted on being
helped out, and presently was hurrying
down the path with Bessie, leaving Richard
| standing within a foot of Dolly's ladder.
Bessie enjoyed her prominence in the
affair of collarette, so the explanation
spread fast, and Lily Dale, Richards little
sister, took pride in shown her doll,
adorned with the missing piece of fringe,
which she said She had pr He'd of Of brother

4 REGULARITY OF COUNTRY
GIRLS

Among the excursionists sitting ON the
city hall steps yesterday noon to eat lunch
con was a. young fellow who had Il wide
awake look and a girl in IA pink dress, who
insisted on holding his hand and Topping
over on his shoulder. Two or three gentle
men observed the situation, and halted for
Il second look. Their smiles were noted by
the young man, and he released himself
and came over to them and said.
Gentlemen, LET me explain. Did either
one of you ever live i'll the country.
NO, they replied in chorus.
''Tlcn you don't understand the country
girl. She requires to be loved after a GER

ten years, and I'm giving you a solemn

to the girl and walked oif.-Detroit Free

asleKNESs OF PERCEPTION.

The following story from the Pam
M0athlg is related of Agassiz, and it is suf-
~fciently characteristic of this remarkably
accurate observer To have the merit OF
probability. We are told that once upon
a time the professor had occasion To select
an assistant from one OF his classes. There
were a number of candidates for the post
of honor, and finding himself in a guam
Diary as to which one lie should choose, the
happy thought occurred to him of subject
ing three OF the more promising students
in turn to the simple test of describing the
view from the laboratory window, which
overlooked the side yard of the cottage.
One said that he saw merely a board fence
and a brick pavement; another added a
stream of soapy water; a third detected
the color of the paint on the fence, noted
a green mould or fungus on the bricks, and
evidences of ssbluing' in the water, be-
sides other details. 1t is needless to tell to
which candidate was awarded the coveted
position.
IIoudin, the celebrated prestidigitator,
attributed his success in his position mainly
to his %quickness of perception, which, he
tells i'll his entertaining autobiography, he
acquired by educating his eye to detect a
large number Of objects at a single glance,
His simple plan was to select a shop win
dow full of a miscellaneous assortment of
articles. and walk rapidly past it a number
of times every day, writing down each OBJ
ject which impressed itself on his mind.
In this way he was able, after a time, 10
detect instantaneously all the articles in
the window, even though they might be
numbered by cores.-Scienhfc Ame1ican.

AIitter of Babies,

A correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
quirer relates the following:
"a remarkable story comes from
Henry county, Just west OF this city,
(Toledo) which, if it were not thorough
ly substantiated, would be almost in
credible. 1t is to the effect that several
days ago the wife of Wilhelm Freund, a
German farmer, living about half mile
from Holgatc, gave birth to five children,
all boys, and that all the infants are well
formed and alive When the Enquirer
correspondent Investigated this stupen-
dous increase in the census, he found
that the event is but one of series that
have happened in this interesting family.
Mrs. Found is 36 years of ago, and dur
ing her nineteen years of married life has
given birth to twenty-one children,
eighteen OF whom are now alive. The
other three lived to various ages over a
year. DR.. Townsend, of Holgate, has
been in attendance at most of these
events, and DR.. Harrison, of Napoleon, is
also conversant with the facts and ha
assisted on some occasions. The mother
is described as a comedy German woman,
and spare, and the father short
and solid, but not portly. This happy
couple live on small farm. which the
husband tills with the assistance of his
numerous progeny. Some of the chill
1ren, it is said, were born in the hay-feld
where the mother was at work.
