Some OF the best missionary work of the

It has been the boast OF us Americans that no
women worked in coal mines on this conti-

woman, clad only in q short, coarse chemise
and a pair of cowhide boots drawins coke

handling coke in a freight car. Her babe lay
upon the ground in front OF the car.

THE BIRD THAT SINGS.

You dear little birdie, who taught you to
sing ,
Among the green branches and blossoms OF
spring?
Iwish you would tell me; for then, don't
I'd ask the same person to try and teach
me.
AIwonder. whenever / hear you, II you
Have to sit in tree for an hour or two
And practice your dear little twitter and
trfl,
when it is so dreadfully hard to keep still.
When you want to play in the sunshine all
day,
Does somebody hold up finger and say.
As solemnly: Now. little blue-bird, stay 80,
And carefully practice your "do, re, m1'
dor'
"Do you have to learn about octaves and
thirds,
And chords and arpegglos and other hard
words?
And those terrible scales! Why, of all that
Ido
I think them the hardest to practice. Do
you?
Wei. however you do. I am sire of one
thing,
That have to practice before lean sing.
And with all may learn, and the best can
do,
Inever shall sing, little birdie, like you"

How Tommy Saved His Brother.

Tommy was very fond of his little
brother Harry, and was very careful
that no harm came to him. Although
Tommy was little boy himself, and
only four years old, he felt that he was
a great big boy when he looked at lit
tie Harry. who was hardly more than
baby. One day Tommy and Harry
were playing in the garden, while their
papa and mamma sat on the porch.
Harry would run behind currant
bush, and Tommy would run after him
and say: "Peek-a-boo'' They thought
this fine fun. But all at once Harry
started to toddle down the garden
walk, and Tommy didn't find him be-
hind the currant bush when he went
around to say: .'Peek-a-boor Where
was he? Tommy ran after him, and
found him-looking at what do you
think? A strange creature that sat
very still, right in the path. 1t was a
dumpy little thing, with rough,
brown skin, and twinkling eyes that
seemed to say: I'm not so wicked as
I look But Tommy thought it must
be some dreadful creature, and was
afraid it was going to devour his poor
little brother. So when he saw Harry
moving still nearer the little animal,
he called out: Don't, Hahwy, don't!'
and then caught Harry up in his arms,
and carried him away from the creature
that might hurt him, to their papa and
mamma on the porch. And then
mamma, who had seen Tommy's care
fulness of his baby brother, told them
that the awful monster that they had
seen was only poor little toad that
would not harm them for the world!
But Tommy always felt glad that he
had tried to save Harry from what he
thought might do him harm.

History in Our Schools.

A man may not know himself who is
ignorant of his fellow-man, and he
may not know his fellow-man without
some judgment born of an analytic
study of the rise or fall of mankind
from state to state. 1t is fault of our
school system that SO little time, and
that imperfectly applied, is devoted to
the study of history. In some institu-
tons, indeed, it is entirely neglected,
though it were intellectually better to
err upon the other side and make
history part of the whole prepare
tory and collegiate course. Properly
presented, history might be made de-
Eghtful pursuit rather than an onerous
study. That it should be SO addressed
to the mind of the student will appear
when public instructors come to ap-
preciate the fact that history, in its
broad aspects, is the foundation of all
education Chicago Inter Ocean.

excused some time before his father
! and mother were through with their
supper, banged the door slightly as he
left the room.
However, the next morning the hens
received attention at the proper time.
And so far as that one duty was con-
cerned he did not need another lesson.
but he was not yet naae over into the
prompt boy which mis- father desired
him to be. That wood-box! y, boys!
Do you shrug your shoulders and say:
Il don't blame him?" The wood-oox
is dread to boys, we'll know. How
ard did not particularly dislike the
work of filling the box, but he was
never quite ready to do it. He was all
ways putting it off until he had tin
ished reading the morning paper, or
been the rounds of the garden and
meadows to see if there were any new
flowers ont or any new birds nests.
and at length the school bell would
ring and he would 90 off to school hav-
ing forgotten that there was such
thing in the wide world as wood-box.
One morning Mrs. Grinnell said:
Howard, Bridget will need box full
of wood to-day; she has large IRON
ing
'Yes, ma am," said Howard, dream
lily, from the depths of an armchair
where he had established himself with
a new orchid and botany. Mrs. Grin
nell was busy, and gave the matter no
farther attention until two hours later
Bridget announced that the wood was
out.
Dear mel" said Mrs. Grinnell, "that
boy went off without filling the box,
after all!n After a moments thought
she said: "Well, Bridget, Howard can
not expect his clothes to be ironed with
cold irons. You may hang all his
things upon the bars without ironing,
and he will have to wear them so. Per-
haps you and can get wood enough
for the rest"
Bridget thought it good joke to
play upon Master Howard, and her
good nature returned in view of the
sport she would have at the boys ex-
pense.
You may imagine that Howard did
not enjoy wearing his rough-dried gar
ments, but he was forced to doso. And
as he was somewhat fastidious boy, it
was quite trial to 60 to school in that
plight.
1t was by such lessons as this that
Mr.. and Mrs. Gr1nnell sought to cure
Howard of his fault; and one day when
Mrs. Grinnell was looking over some
notices, she discovered one handsome
ly illuminated which struck her as be-
ing just the one for her sons room. It
was this:

Lord!"-Faye Huntington, in Pa'sy.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Miller has prepared a preliminary re-
port concerning the operations of his
bureau, for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1856. He says the total collec-
tons for the year were SIG, 9O2.-
1851. The total collections for the
fiscal year ended June so, 1885, were
S112,421,1 21.O7, the increase for the
fiscal year just closed being S4,4S1,-
724.47. The cost of collcctionf for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1856, was
about $4,000, 900. being 3.67 per cent
of the amount collected and S155,OOO
less than the cost for the year ended
June so, 1885. During the year the
offices ofcollectors of internal revenue
have been examined as frequently
and thoroughly as was possible with
the limited number of revenue agents
ut command, and the reports of the
agents and collectors indicate n gen.
orally satisfactory condition of the
service withrcgard to efficiency. The
aggregate collection made by Collec-
for McGraw in West Virginia during
the year was S496, OG3.SS

4 suggestion to farmers wort
needing is given in the following from
an exchange:
Examine your newly threshcd
wheat from time to time to sec that
it is not heating, and if You find it so,
run it through a tanning mill to air
and cool it, or it may be spread upon
the barn floor and shovelcd ovcr oc-
casionally. A very good way to find
out whether wheat that is put in bins
is heating is to. have n stick like &
fork handle constantly sticking in the
pile of wheat as far down as the pile
is deep, and occasionally pulling it ur
and feeling with the hand. BY this
means any evidence of its heating
will be shown by the stick.

Whatever the outcome may be,

make a great mistake. Mr.. Wilson
has, for a young member, grown to be
one of recognized ability and useful
ness. AS a member of the appropri-
ations committee, the leading commit
tee of the House of Representatives,
he has shown great ability to manage
appropriation bills both in Committee
and. on the floor of the House when
anybills in his charge were being con-
sidered:. He is one of the hardest
working members in the House, and
has been put forward by Chairman
Randall on a number of conference
committees where there's difference
on any item of appropriation between
the House of Representatives and the
Senate:. He has shown himself to be
a forcibfe and able debater, and is a
Representative that not only the Sec
ond district should be proud to honor,
but is a Representative creditablc to
the whole State.
