and, indeed, his trials are very great.
Life has altered signally for him. He
feels it to his hearts core, if he is
made of sensitive stuff.
It is all very well for Bridget to
take him into the kitchen and tell him
to "be a nice lad an she'll make him
a cake" He wants his mother; he
never was turned out of mothers room
before. His heart is full. Well for
him, at this time, if he has a grand
mother ready to make him her idol, a
little jealous for him as the first born.
Then, indeed, his ways shortly be-
come the ways of pleasantness, and life
assumes a holiday, cake candy, ginger
bread and toy aspect. But in any
event that old baby has a very un-
happy day or two before it, a season
when knowledge of the bitterness of
life comes to him prematurely, and
he understands the feelings of a de-
posed emperor.-Mary Kyle, en- Once

THE "OLD BABY'S" GRIEF.

What a curious thing it is to think
that the wonderful new baby will turn
into a commonplace old baby in a
year or two-that with the advent of
number two his reign is over.
A little girl, though she is only 2
years old, takes an interest in that
new baby, feels that she must help
take care of it, goes about materially
airing it's garments and holding the
pincushion for nurse, delights in its
baths, and boasts about her baby
brother before she can talk plain. But
the boy-that is another matter. He
scowls when that wrinkledr piece Of
humanity is presented to him, and
refuses to kiss it. He wants none of
it, Why should it haye his place on
mamma's shoulder? Why should he
be told oIgol away? He thinks as i'll
of it as his limited knowledge of mum
dane affairs will permit him to think
of anything. He has been known to
request that it might. be- "froWed

GIRLS WHO ARE IN DEMAND.

The girls that are wanted are good girls
Good from the heart to the lips
Pure as the lily is white and pure
From its heart to its sweet leaf tips.
The girls that are wanted are home girls,
Girls that are mothers right hand,
That father and brothers can trust to,
And the little ones understand.
Girls that are fair on the hearthstone,
And pleasant when nobody sees
Kind and sweet to their own folks,
Ready and anxious to please.
The girls that are wanted are wise girls,
That know what to do and to say;
That drive with q smile and a soft word
The wrath of the household away
The girls that are wanted are girls Of sense,
Whom fashion can never deceive;
Who can follow whatever is pity,
And dare what Is silly to leave.
The girls that are wanted are careful girls,
Who count what a thing will cost,
Who use with q prudent, generous hand,
But see that nothing is lost
The girls that are wanted are girls with hearts
They are wanted for mothers and wives
Wanted to cradle in loving arms ~
The strongest and ~frailest lives.
The clever, the witty, the brilliant girl,
There are few who can understand.
But, oh for the wise, loving home girls
There's constant, steady demand.

HINTS TO H~OUSEKEEPERS.

Tissue or printing paper is the best

Egg shells crushed and shaken in a

Kerosene is unexcelled in starch to give

Veal and roast beef are the most eco

To clean ornaments Of alabaster, dis

Pneumonia, says DR.. Seibert, of New

diphtheria and inf1ammatory rheumatism,
in damp, dirty or unventilated rooms and

Pigeons are good when the breasts are
plump and red looking. The flesh of an
old one is dark, and the breast is not so
plump. SQUADS are plump, soft-skinned,
with almost pink flesh.

The white worm, which sometimes

The unhealthfulness of two persons occu-

Whether the Republicans Of the country ut

the Hooser State 10 10 be the real battle ground
OF the coming campaign, and that on her fifteen
electoral votes depends the SUCCESS or defeat of

furnish Republicans more ready for the fray.
They are built good deal on the order Of the
typical Irishman-alwsys ready for a shindy.
Indiana is different from any of the other West
ern States She has less of the Eastern and
New EnglAnd and more OF the Southern blood In
her population than any Of the others, and that
predominapee Of Southern blood causes her to
naturally tend toward Democracy. Her large
foreign element Is almost wholly Democratic.
This Is largely owing 20 tina agitation Of the
temperance question. There has been strong
