the peace. If there is dispute be-
tween two of the little ones, or a gen.
eral row in the nursery, the big brother
has only to say the word and the bel
ligerents will cease their strife. Bel
ligerent is a long word, but the boys
who are reading Caesar may tell the
others that it is made up of two Latin
words, one of which means war and the
other waging or carrying on, so that
when two children are quarreling and
saying cross words, which may pres
emily cause blows, they are properly
called belligerents. Mother is happy
woman if she can trust her big boy to
be her right-hand man, to settle all that
goes wrong and to set good example.
Nobody equals a big brother in taking
the children's part when they are at
tackled, whether it is by a savage dog,
an occasional bull in a meadow, or the
bad boys from the next street. How
safe they feel when brother Tom adj
vances boldly to the rescue, and how
proud they are of him, with reason, tool
for is he not strong and brave and
quick to act, knowing just what to do
and Just how to do it? l never yet
heard of a cowardly big brother; did
you?-Hdrper's Young People.

Good HumOr's Visit to Cross frankie.

Once upon a time there was a little
boy whose name was Frank. He was
a good boy generally, and had plenty
of toys, such as ninepins, blocks, drums,
a boy doll, a lovely horse, and he liked
to play with all these things, and scat
ter them over the floor, which his
evening. Then mamma said: Now
frankie, pick up your toys and put
them in the drawer" But frankie, be-
ing tired and little cross, would say,
with pout, don't want to put them
away. Mamma pick them up" Well,
one evening frankie was sitting on the
carpet with his toys all around him,
when there was brisk Z" rat tat " at
the door, and in walked little man,
who said, "Good evening, Frank.
Why, what is the matter? You look
so cross. / see you don't know me to-
day. My name is Good Humor."
frankie said: A" don't want to pick up
all these things every evening"" Then
Good humor laughed, and said: " Well
/ will have to introduce you to two
friends of mine. ] expect them here
every minute. While he was yet speak
ing there came a - rat a tat, tat " at the
door, and in walked two little gentle
men; one of them went to Frank and
said: " Good evening, Frank; my name
is Cheerfulness. Allow me to intro
duce you to my friend, Work. We have
called this evening to help you put
away all your toys in their proper places
forto-night. Come show us the drawer"
6 Here it is,' said Good Humor, with a
laugh So Frank went with Cheerful
ness to work, and they piled all the
toys on Works back, and he put them
away in the drawer very carefully.
Then Good Humor shouted, " Hurrah
hurrah," and Cheerfulness shook hands
with Frank, and Work said, " Good
evening, am going to bed;" and they
all went away and left Frank laughing.
Dear little boys and girls, whenever
you feel cross or sulky and don't wish
to obey your parents, call on Good
Humor and Cheerfulness, and they will
help you with your work.-Brooklyn

Hard to Wean.

In Woman's Christian Temperance
Unions and Bands of Hope the great
strength of the temperance cause lies.
1t is as hard to wean people from GUS
toms and ideas that have for centuries
been taken for granted, concerning the
use of alcoholic drinks, as it was to wean
Britain, and afterward the United
States, from the long-established no.
tons about slavery. In both cases
only the abuse is condemned There
is now no doubt regarding the entire
abolition of slavery, and the public
mind will, ere long, be equally clear
concerning the entire prohibition of
the liquor-traf1ic.- Witness.

STATISTICS from the central police
station of Providence, r. l., the largest
city in the state, are encouraging for
prohibition. From these it is shown
that while in July, 1884, there were in
the city police court All convictions for
drunkenness and Ais in July, 1885, in
July, 1886, there were only 143 such
cases. And while under license there
We're, on an average, two or three cases
per day of " disorderly conduct while
under the influence of liquor" there
were only three such in the entire first
month OF prohibition.

WHY is it that the sale of Hoods
Sarsaparilla continues at such rapidly
increasing rate? 1t is, first, because of
the positive curative value of Hoods
Sarsaparilla itself; second, because of
the conclusive evidence of remarkable

seldom equaled by any other medicine.

Early Printing.

It is said in regard to early printing,
that some of the tablets from which the
Chinese classics were produced in the
year 175 are still in existence. Print
ing from wooden blocks was done in
the end of this century. TWAS not UNI
til the tenth century that printed books
were common. In the eleventh cent
ury, movable types were used, in
China and Corea. Movable coppei
types were used in the fifteenth cent
ury. Types were made in Japan, in
1920, by casting and moulding. The
earliest block printing dates from
Japan in the middle of the eighth cent
ury, and the first real national work
of that country was the '.Ni-hon-gi''
printed in the sixteenth century.
Scriptures were distributed to the num-
Der of one million in 1864. One of the
old Japanese books is dated 1900
