That the salemen of the
"Davis Sewing Machine" are
the happiest and most contented
men on the road, is accounted
for by the fact that "The Davis
has only to be known, and the
advantages of the vertical
Feed" explained, to effect a sale.
The simplicity of the machine
and the ease with which its
every detail may be mastered,
makes it the most desirable of
sewing machines. No better
proof is required that it excels
all other machines, than the fact
that never in the experience OF
any sewing machine agent, can
it be honestly asserted that a
Davis Machine has been replae-
ed by one of a different make.
Its superiority establishes its
permanence in every home
where it has been used. The
best is always the cheapest in
the end. No caution is necess-
ary to those who know 'The
Davis" To others, we say ii
and be happy.

The Pocket in His Nightshirt.

The other day Minneapolis boy i'm
portuned his mamma for a nightshirt
+" just like papa's," with pocket in it.
His mother made him one, and the
first night he went to bed in high glee.
In the morning, when his mother took
the robe off, she found in the pocket a
couple of seed cakes, three matches, a
toothpick, small silver watch, several
pieces of rough candy and the boys
pocket handkerchief. When the little
fellow was questioned as to the varied
assortment he replied Well, l
thought if hungry in the nighttime
would need the seed cakes, and of
course I'd want the toothpick after
wards; if l wanted to see what time il
was by my watch l would have to have
a match, and l was afraid of coughing
so l put the candy there" His ex-
cuses were equal to his preparations at
any rate.

Is 1t "Neether or Nither?"

The pronunciation of the word "nei-
Their" is very generally considered to be
matter of taste. Most dictionaries
give both pronunciations, but good
speakers invariably give the long e
sound, although the long sound is
generally supposed to have no more
serious objection than being somewhat
affected, and is pronunciation often
adopted by clergymen, especially Epis-
copalians. 1t is, however, incorrect, as
its origin will show. 1t is well known
that the German pronunciation of is
long, as I" das feind," the enemy, while
the English rule is to pronounce the
diphthong as long e, as receive"
The long sound was invariably given
in " neither until the reign of George
|. of England. Being of the house of
Hanover, and speaking English indif-
ferently, he gave the German pronun-
citation to the diphthong. Court para
sites thought it proper TO ape the king
and this pronunciation spread. Few
people know this origin, and hence the
general mistake. Home Journal.

A Cock Fighting a Looking Glass.

An amusing test of the difference of
disposition in barn-yard fowls may be
made by placing a piece of looking
glass against the trunk of large tree
and laying train of corn in front of it.
Some hens will discover what they all
take for new arrival with mild curl
osity and merely look at it intently,
perhaps peering around behind the tree,
and then walk quietly away. Others
peck the glass angrily and insist upon
fighting, while few nervous females
show much the same noisy excite
ment that seizes upon most hens when
they spy snake. We tried the valiant
old autocrat of the farm-yard with this
trick, and he was at once reused to fury
Dropping his head when some ten feet
in front of the glass, he began the eau
tious advance by parallels, which every
one familiar with poultry has seen before
fight. But of course he soon lost his
enemy by moving too far to one side.
After growing fiercely and looking
around uneasily for few moments, he
returned to the train of corn and al
most instantly saw the strange cock
nearer than before. More stealthy APP
prOach, another failure to keep sight of
the foe, and greater excitement, and
third time he began to eat, only to be
startled by the hostile presence nearer
than ever. AT last he worked right up
to the glass and braced himself for the
shock of combat, the counterfeit of
course following his every movement
with ominous CELEBRITY. There was one
fierce peck at the angry head in the
glass and then a crash, as our infuri-
ated champion hurled himself against
his likeness, breaking the glass into
hundred fragments. The mingling of
establishment, rage and triumph in this
birds appearance, as he whirled about,
startled at the cracking noise and be-
wildered by the total disappearance of
his enemy, was comical to behold. Then
he rushed around behind the big pear
tree, evidently thinking that the cow
ardly stranger might be hidden there.
Not finding him, the victor strutted
about, too excited to eat, and crowed
long and loud over his unprecedented
triumph. The other cock was entirely
wiped out of existence, and our old
fighter, who would crow defiantly in
our arms whenever he found himself
being carried off the premises, knowing
from experience that a set-to was COM
ing, could scarcely credit his senses

Rest Day.

1t is impossible to estimate the
blessed effect produced upon nations
health and happiness when, on the re-
turn of each Sunday, millions are thus
set free from toll; when the ledger is
closed on the desk; when the hammer
rests upon the anvil, and the wheel in
the factory when the mine sends forth
its crowds into the light and glory of
this newborn day, and when men can
rest their wearied frames or tread the
green earth or hoary mountain and
breathe the fresh air and look calmly
upon the blue sky overhead, or listen
to the sounding stream of beating sea-

JUST hear that child scream! " said Mrs.
Smith to her sister, Mrs. Davis, as the sound
of "A child's shrieks came across the garden
from a neighbours house. What kind of a
woman have you for Il neghbor? Does she
abuse her children" No, indeed" re-
piled Mrs. Davis. 81 She is one of the most
tender mothers in existence. But, you see,
she believes in the old-fashioned styles of
doctoring. When a child needs physic she
fills "A spoon with some nauseous dose,
lays the little victim Hat on her lap, holds
his nose till he is forced to open his mouth
for breath, when down goes the dreadful
mess. Then come the yells." " No Won

are as easy to take as sugar-plums. | al
