Wooden Swearing.

A minister once said, 81 hope dear
children, that you will never let your
lips speak profane words. But now |
want to tell you about a kind of
swearing which | heard good woman
speak about not long ago. She called
it wooden swearing. It's kind of
swearing that many people beside
children are given to when they are
angry. Instead of giving vent to their
feelings in oaths they slam the doors,
kick the chairs, stamp on the floor,
throw the furniture about and make
all the noise they possibly can. Isn't
this just the same us swearing z said
she. It's just the same kind of feel
ing exactly, only they do not like to
say those awful words but they force
the furniture to make the noise, and so
| call it wooden swearing | hope,
dear children, that you will not do any
of this kind of swearing either. 1t is
better to let alone wooden swearing
and all other kinds of swearing."-

How to Treat Books.

Do not cover the books of a library
with paper. The covering is trouble
some, and is quite as much injury as
protection to the book. A book COW
cred with paper is likely to need re-
binding sooner than if il he not cover
ed. 4 room full of books covered with
paper is dull and mOnotonous. 1t also
reduces the usefulness of the books, as
they are less easily identified and kept
apart and in order.
Never wet the finger to turn over a
leaf To mark the place do not turn
down a corner of the page, nor use a
sOiled playing card, or stained en-
velOpe, or bit of dirty rag or piece of
damp newspaper. Use regular book
mark. One of the simplest and best'is
"a card as large as il small visiting
card 10y cutting this twice longitud-
inally from one end almost to the other
it will give three-legged bOokmaIk
which rides a-straddle of the page, one
leg ON the page below and two on the
page you wish to open at.
If books are allowed to get damp
they may mildew. If books get too hot
the boards may warp and the leather
crack. Do not put books on shelf
near the ceiling of a room lighted with
gas, as the results of gas combustion
are highly injurious. Never put books
with metal clasps or embossed sides,
or albums Ornamented with decorative
nails, on the shelves by the side of
other books, for the delicate bindings
will suffer. Such books should be kept
in drawers by themselves.
Books should never he classified on
the shelves by the bindings or the
sizes Of the books themselves. Put
the books of an author together, as far
as possible, however homogeneous their
sizes may be. And try To keep books
on the same subject as close together
as is convenient with requirements.

Sorrow is not an accident, occurring
now and then-it is the very wool
which is woven into the warp of life.
God has created the nerves to agOmize
and the heart to bleed, and before a
man dies almost every nerve has thrill
ed with pain and every affection has
been wounded. The account of life
which represents it as a probation is
inadquate SO is that which regards it
chiefly as a system of rewards and
punishments. The truest account of
this mysterious existence seems to be
that it is intended for the development
of the souls life, for which sorrow is
indispensable. Every son of man who
would attain the true end of his being
must be baptized with fire. 1t is the
law of our humanity, as that of Christ.
that we must be perfected through
suffering. And he who has not dis
cerned the divine sacredness of sorrow
and the profound meaning which is
concealed in pain, has yet to learn
what life is. The cross, manifested as
the necessity of the highest life, alone
interprets it F. w. Robertson.

Queer Story of a Peculiar Family.

Aseneth Weatherhead, about 20
years old, recently died in GuifOrd
where she has lived with her bachelor
brother and maiden sister on the old
Weatherhead farm since childhood.
The trio had by the most scrupulous
economy and misery disposition, care
fully saved nearly $4,000, which the
brother and sister, who died some
years ago, willed to their sister, if she
survived them, otherwise to their
nephews and nieces. Aunt Aseneth's
will, which it appears was made at
the time and with practically the same
provisions of the others, gave to each
of her three surviving brothers SIS, one
of whom has recently been compelled
by his poverty to call upon the town
of GuilfOrd for help. Since Aseneth's
death, IL bank books on different banks
have been discovered representing de-
pOsits aggTegating several thousand
dollars. The personal effects of the
deceased, including home made bed
ding, linen, and great variety of ar
ticles both useful and unique were sold
at auction. Chests of old fashioned
vests, and pant patterns, and innumer-
able articles of tin-ware, were found in
every nook and corner of the old
homestead, which had been taken,
some of them, many years ago in bar
ter for butter and eggs and other farm
products. 1t is related that when the
brother Lewis died, many prOmissO-
ry note and even money was found hid
away in the corners about the house.
The family were all considered repu-
table people, though they were well
known for their parsimonious habits.
Aunt Aseneth was divorced from her
husband number of years ago. Gull
ford's overseer of the poor will look
after the interests of the INDECENT
brother now that Aseneth's property is
to be distributed.

Plinn Whites Famous SwindIing Ca.
reer.

Plymouth White, known also as
"Plinnn White and Crank Parke, -
who died at his brothers house in
Reading, Sunday night, conducted
swindling operations during his life,
amounting to over SI,50O,00O. He
was well educated, dressed in the best
of taste, possessed an oily tongue, a
frank, open cOuntenance and vener-
able, clerical appearance-a makeup
withal that deceived hundreds of bust
ness men as we'll as farmers and wom-
en-. Whites first operation that
brought him into prominence was the
California gOld-dust swindle in IS49,
which netted him some 100000. He
escaped arrest by fleeing to Europe.
He fieeced Col. Locke Winchester of
New York out of SILL 900, and while
in Jail for the operation deceived the
sheriff out of $20,000. Once he OPEN
ed big dry goods store at Kansas
City, bought goods of eastern dealers
worth 1915 200, and after selling them
cleared out with the mouey. He took
500, 900 out of Alderman Libbey of
New York. He crossed the ocean Is
times to escape arrest, and on one of
the return trips he fell in with another
rogue named Fiske, and joining hands,
they fieeced many thousands of dollars
out of the Canadians. His knack in
saving himself from punishment when
caught was no less remarkable than
his power of deception. The money
thus obtained slipped through his
hands like water, principally at the
gaming table.

The Tree PedIer.

the man who will buy trees of the
wandering tree pedler deserves to be
cheated. The public has been SO often
warned against the folly of buying
fruit trees from only well established
and reputable firms that sympathy is
wasted on the scores of unfOrtunates in
every community now recOunting their
losses and looking anxiOusly to see
just one bud peep on the miserable
moss grown, frozen and dried-up
sprouts delivered to him to fill an or
der innOcently given, months since, to
one of those fellows with big jars with
marvellous fruits in spirits, and more
marvellous pictures of the rarest, new
est and most wonderful fruit.
