All social and moral laws of our
common civilization revolve around
the home. 1t is the school of social
progress. Public opinion is the coll
lective opinions of our homes
Clear-sighted reformers aim to di-
rect the power that rules the home.
In certain sense we are all reformers,
we all are trying to make the world
better; some are trying in one way,
some in another; but We all should
begin at home.
Let the home be q cheerful, sun.
shiny place. There let Us find neat
ness aud comfort. Above all, let US
have always goodr ature and means
for Improvement.
Home is the place for oil the best
things; therefore don't keep all your
cheerfulness for society, nor shut out
all the sunshine except when you
have visitors. Cheerfulness aud sun.
shine do not cost anything, but with
hold them and you are heavy loser.
1t is not alone the housekeeper's
duty to keep the home rooms neat
and tidy; each member of the family
should assist in it. There are
thousand ways of keeping clean that
saves vast amount Of making clean.
Anyone of refined feelings regards all
labor to secure neatness labor OF
love and duty.
Did you ever hear that little fable
Of the chairs? For fear you haven't
I'll tell it to you.
"Well," said straight-backed,
straight-legged chair to q cosy rock
ing-chair by whose side it chanced to
be placed, "before I would be such
drudge as you are, | would be q
stool; or. if possible, something more
Insignificant. People are not content
with making you nurse everyone, be
they big or little, but you must be
continually rocking them to and fro"
ITO be sure" answered the little
rocking-chair. II am always busy aud
on the go for the qualification of
others; but thereby have / won many
friends, and appear to be a great
favorite with all. This pays me for
all my trouble.n
The moral of this pretty fable lie,
that all who cheerfully and willingly
do for others are the ones who gain
most for themselves.
This is a most beautiful Lesson 10
utilize for home life.
One of the p!easantest and noblest
duties OF the family ID to furnish its
members with good reading. In
times that are past, it was considered
enough to clotbe, feed, and shelter q
family. But now it Is recognized as
fact that we all have hungry minds
to be satisfied.
They must be fed healthy diet;
they want to be sheltered from the
pitiless storm Of error and vice. An
ignorant family is dark spot on our
modern intelligence.
Let good reading 60 into q home
and the very atmosphere changes.
The boys begin to talk Of men,
principles, places, the past and the
future. The girls End opening before
them new life of knowledge, duty,
aud love.
Out from that family will 90 inteIli-
gent men and woman to fll useful
and Honorable places in society.
Let the torch of Improvement be
lie in every household Let tho
young and the old vie with one an
other 10 introducing new and useful
topics Of investigation and in cherish
ing lore Of study and advancement.
Such home implants memories In
the heart that can never die. The
rough rubs Of the world can never
obliterate them. Lives so formed are
the timbers that uphold the world.

Murderous Assault.

A Young man named Frank Eldred is
under arrest at the station-house for an
assault with deadly weapon upon his
grandfather, w. H. Bandeen, aged 63 years,
who resides Just east of the city limits.
Eldred was drunk Sunday night, and had
visited his grandfather, who was as friendly
as usual to him. Between u and 1 A. M,
however, while the old man was in bed,
covered up with the clothes, Eldred entered
the room violently and jumped upon him,
armed with a small pocket-knife, and de-
claring that he had a grudge against his
grandfather, expressed his determination
to cut his throat from ear to ear. The old
man endeavored to pacify him, and while
so doing managed to free himself to some
extent from the bedclothipg. His asSailant
made g slash at his throat with the knife,
but he succeeded in partly avoid
ing it, and only received 8 slight
cut across the back of the neck. During
the struggle that ensued Bandeen was cut
twice on the right wrist, one of the cuts
being quite severe. Seeing the blood flow
ing freely, the young man came to bis
senses, expressed his regret at what he had
done, and tore strips from his shirt with
which to bind up his wounds, after which
he went away. Bandeen soon received as
sistance, and telephone message was sent
to the station-house. Officers Agner and
wager procured vehicle and proceeded as
rapidly as possible to the locality desig-
mated by the telephone, but could not find
the house or any one who knew of diff
Guilty Yesterday afternoon officers Nc
Cormack and Sullivan went out and found
and arrested Eldred The latter returned
two or three months ago from a few years
service on Government vessel, and has
been on good terms with his grandfather
since his arrival. Before he weht away
they had difficulty, growing out Of the
loss of watch, which Bandeen claimed FL
dred had stolen, and this probably accounts
for the grudge, which the latter, when full of
liquor. recollected. He gave bail last even
ing in the sum of 81 900, and will have
hearing in Justice Posts Court at 10 a. N.

Science In Everyday Life.

The second in the course of business
talks to young men was given last evening
by Harry w. Carroll, who chose as his
topic Science in Everyday Life" in the
hall of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation. There was good attendance,
though not so large as usual, owing to the
many counter-attractions. c. NJ. Campbell
presided, and, after few Introductory re-
marks, introduced Mr.. Carroll. who said
Ny subject is in one sense a selfish one,
being so general as to involve the whole
creation, but on the other hand it may
enable me to commend myself in a great
degree than had | spoken ON more spe-
cific theme. What do we N can by science
Strictly speaking is everything we know,
but usually it means knowledge, the con-
prehension or understanding of facts by
the mind. Pure science is built on sci
evident truths observation and experiment
enter into most sciences. Art relates TO
practice. Thus, agriculture is an art, but
the general principles of it are science
Hence, we have both the art and science
of navigation. From an abstract point,
" art depends on practice, science on
speculative principles" Science requires
all time and all space to pursue its in
vestigations. Professor JOS LIE Conte COM
pares all human wisdom with what might
be known as bubble floating on the tran.
gull ocean to the mighty volume of all
oceans combined. At every hand we come
in contact with material 1t is material
alone that the natural sciences dedicate
themselves to and of which we will now
speak. The discovery of gravitation was
referred to. The mechanism employed in
journalism is truly scientific, especially
chemistry. Science is not impenetrable,
but deals with many of the commonest
substances known. Microscopic moist
ure is the natural moisture or
watery vapor contained in the air.
This Stakes newly calcined lime
when exposed to the air and condenses on
any dry cold surface. Absolute alcohol
will absorb this moisture. The compost
ton of the air was referred to and the uses
of the gases they contain defined and ex-
emplified. From these illustrations it was
deduced it is necessary to first find the
scientific principles, before its application
to every day observation. Oxidation in
its various forms was enlarged upon. The
component parts of water and the earth
were next referred to, and it was found
oxygen enters largely into the composition
of both. In the daily round of life the
sciences are useful to us, and this fact was
illustrated by applying them to the COM
mon objects around. Mr.. Carroll was
attentively listened to, and at the close
heartily applauded

The Wraps and Jackets

Which we are now showing and which are meet
ing with such favor, originated for the most part
in Berlin, Paris and London. Specially imported
model garments from those cities crossed the
Atlantic by steamer; were Immediately copied
by the manufacturers whose goods we keep,
and thence sent to us. In point of Styles finish.
ETC., they quite equal to the imported goods,
AND COST VERY MUCH LESS. AS, in the
higher price Novelties, we only have one or two
garments alike, those who purchase virtually get
exclusive styles.
We carry over hundred different lines of
goods--but in no line are the advantages of
store stronger more apparent than they are
in that corner space devoted to WRAPS AND
JACKETS. A visit to it hardly fail to be of
interest.
