vANQUiSHED BY A SMALL BOY.

Just one short month ago,
As smuch as most folks know
I thought l knew. but find I've been mis-
taken.
And now | scarce dare say
- That Aunt" begins with A &"
Wy faith in my own learning il so shaken
For about that time there came
HOSPITALITY to claim,
10 my cottage door a boy. and quite q small
one.
But with as great desire
Information to acquire
AS was ever felt-or dreamed of-by a tall
one.
Oh. SO many why's" and "whenx"
And whats" and 'hows" and .'rhens-'
so many questions everyth ng concerning.
Have from that laddie heard,
That Oft, upon my word.
II has seemed to me as though my brain were
turning
And that's not all, for much
Have been reproved for such
dreadful ignorance OF things and people
famous.
And I've to myself confessed.
When compared with INV young guest,
inat was, indeed, a perfect ignoramus.
And boldly proclaim
: Being sure youd do the same
IN my place. though once you might have
shone at college
That no grownup could keep pace
In an intellectual race,
with the smallest boy intent on chasing
knowledge.

even greater luster in his domestic life.
As host he illustrates the old traditional
English hospitality. The stranger
within his gates soon ceases 10 be q
stranger. His enjoyment of a clever
companion is rs keen as his enjoyment
of 4 clever book. 1t has been said of
him that the great deficiency of his
character is the lack of sense of
humor. Those who have been admitted
to intimate personal relations with him
bear witness that however true the
criticism may be of him as a public
man it does him injustice when he has
dismissed the cares of state and yields
himself to the pleasures of social inter-
course and conversation. That the
works of Dickens and Thackeray are
among his favorite volumes; that he
highly prizes the wit of Rabelais and
Gil Bias. that he once amused a party
of friends after dinner by reading to
them from Mark Twain's ..Innocents
Abroad" " and that the Potiphar Papers
often regale his leisure moments. are
evidence that his gravity is not unre-
lieved by an appreciation of the face
tious, and this too in spite of an obSer.
vation he made to an American gentle
man that he could never see any thing
very funny in German humor. As
father and husband he illustrates the
virtues which are more precious to
society than all the cunning or wisdom
of craftsmanship. If Mr.. Gladstone's
moral code points to the perfection of
human happiness, his home life
furnishes beautiful illustration of the
progress he has made in the direction
of its attainment. The highest con-
ception of greatness insists that no
man is truly great who is not good.
If Mr.. Gladstone were not a great man
all the world would acknowledge that
he is good one. The chief stumbling
block to a true estimate of him is the
belief by many that his goodness is not
unchequered by insincerity and that he
uses his capital of reputation for high
political morality in ways that more
become the leading politician than the
disinterested philosopher and reformer.
That belief will disappear when poster
ity has had time to do him the justice
that it does the memory of all men,

Great care should be taken not b

should always be started in the rsf-

tested with rats, it is well to have tho
entrances to the holes in the cellar
guarded. as rats are afraid of ferrets,
and will run and make their escape
before the ferrets have an opportunity
to kill them. Their flexible bodies
and small heads enables them to 90
anywhere that rat can go. and when
they tackle rodent they kill and eat
it without delay. In hunting rabbits,
they drive them out of their holes,
and feel abundantly satisfied if they
are given the rabbits head as reward
for their work. For exterminating
woodchucks. prairie-dogs, ground
squirrels. and gophers they have no
equal.
The little ferret will march boldly
down into a woodchuck's burrow and
drive out the clumsy inmate without
the slightest hesitation. In hunting
rabbits and outdoor game it has been
the custom to muzzle the ferrets, but
this is cruel and unnecessary prac-
tice. 1t is not fair to the ferret, for il
he is attacked he has no means of de-
Tending himself, and he will rarely
kill his game in the burrow. The fer
ret is a natural-born hunter, and soon

looks forward to it with keen enthusi-

Some owners Just tuck the ferrets
into coat pocket when starting on
the hunt, but small basket is just as
convenient, and a safer way of carry
ing them. They can readily be taught
to come in answer to q whistle, like .
dog, and in building they generally
return to the pen of their own accord.
The golden rule should be applied to
the treatment of all pets, and with fer

Fond Hopes Which Are Destined to Bo

| Fond Hopes Which Are Destined to h
Most Rudely DisPelled.
There Is something very pitiful in the
way clever American girls of limited
means persist in belief that they can
do something or other to earn living
abroad, and to have q chance at for
eign study in music or art or language.
Every now and then we hear of some
young woman. more ambitious than
prudent. going to Germany or France
with very little money, but with a sub
lime confidence that she can at least
teach English if all else fails. Now the
simple truth is that it is next to impossi-
BILE for an American teacher to get pu-
pills on the continent No matter hoe
correctly you speak your language it is
not English in the opinion of the par
ents who want governesses for their
girls, and though you may be decidedly
superior in cultivation and courtesy,
tact and knowledge. to an English gov
erness competing for place, the En-
glish girl will get it because she never
heard of your Americanisms and says
jug" instead of pitcher" i
fancy" instead of 81 guess" and
she "enjoys herself" instead of "hav-
ing good time"
Another fond delusion of many am
bilious young women without any Jour-
nalistlc training is belief that they can
write foreign letters for the American
papers, and SO earn fame and q living
at the same time. 1t il hard to con-
vince them that such plan is almost
wholly impracticable. They will quote
Kate Field and Helen Hunt, and ask If
they were not successful, quite forget
ting that these women wrote before the
details of foreign life were known BY
heart in this country, as recent facili-
ties OF intercommunication have made
ary to cable over the new styles from
Paris and the chit-chat Of London
drawing-rooms.
A young high-school teacher from .
village near Boston went not long ago
to Paris with every chance in her favor
for succeeding, so far as there is ever 3
chance for an amateurs success, in for
eign correspondence. Her mother was
Partisan born, and the daughter spoke
French quite as well as English. per-
haps with more strict correctness. She
went with several good introductions,
and boarded in the family of an aunt
in Paris. And she tried with might
and main to get into foreign CORE
sPondence, only to have her years
work fail completely. She sent at least
fifty manuscripts home across the
water. and she had only seven out Of
all that number accepted by American
journals. OF these, only four wero
paid for, and those all counted brought
her about thirty dollars She worked
hard and she was plucky. and she
wrote rather good little things, but she

ABOUT BOYS.
A Recitation.

"A Hkeclt2ttOn
a boy In the house is nuisance"
One often hears people say;
But want you TO know,
That it 5 not quite so,
So | speak to you to-day.
That boys have faults. l own is very true,
But not any more than girls. think,
And, really now, do your
Now. if any one has an easy time.
In this world of push and pull.
1t is not the boy of the fam ly.
For his hands are always full
I'd like to ask, who fills the stoves?
Where is the girl that could.
Who brings in water. lights the fires
And splits the kindling-woOd2
And who is il that cleans the walks,
After hours of showing?
In summer, who keeps down the weeds
By diligently hoeingf
And who must harness the faithful horse,
When the girls would ride about?
And who must clean the carriage off2
The boy, you'll own, no doubt.
And who does the many other things.
Too numerous to mention!
The boy is the general utility man."
And really deserves pension!
Friends. just praise the boy sometimes,
When he does his very best:
And don't dttrdus want the easy chair
When he is taking little rest.
Don't let him always be the last
To see the new magazine:
And sometimes let the boy be heard,
As well as to be seen.
That boys are far from perfect
Is understood by all;
But they have hearts, remember,
For men are boys grown tall
And when boy has been working
His level best for days
II does him good. tell You,
To have some hearty praisei
He is not merely u combination
Of muddy boots and noise.
And he likes to be looked upon
As one of the family joys.
And think. if it were known
That by a certain hour to-day
Every boy on this great globc
Would be spirited away,
There would not be = single one
OF those whom I'm addressing,
But now would say. very heartily,
A boy In the house is blessing.
