A CONVERSATION IN A GROCERY STORE.

One day, while waiting in grocery
store for the attention of the busy clerk,
l noticed two respectable looking farm
ers, standing by the stove in earnest
conversation. Mr. Adams was saving:
am not very well this spring, and
hardly know what the trouble is, unless
it is the result of using tobacco"
Oh, that cannot be-" answered Mr..
Pratt, 'for I have used it since I was
eight years old, and it has not hurt me
particle, l am sure"
Well, maybe you are not injured by
it," said Mr.. Adams, but [ still think
it has occasioned this sore spot in my
stomach. l don't chew now. Do you
want to know how l came to leave it off?
Last winter, one very cold day, l was
driving into town, chewing and splitting
all the way, at random, here and there.
When l reached my stopping place, l
happened to look in the glass, and such
a sight as [ was-my beard frozen, and
tobacco spittle frozen all over me! L
was disguised with myself, and vowed
I'd never chew tobacco again, and
never have. 1t was ha,d to leave off the
habit, but was SO ashamed of myself,
that it cured me-"
A lad of sixteen, standing near, re-
marked that he could not stop using
tobacco, it made him wild, and he
thought it was a worse habit than drink
ing whiskey.
q Not worse said Mr.. Pratt.
g Yes, worse" said the boy; "when l
try to go without, cannot do anything
hardly know what | am about, and feel
just wild, and can't stop now"

Why Dolls Are SO Named.

l am almost certain that every girl who
reads this has at some time or other played
with doll. Very likely the older ones have
outgrown their dolls, and only keep their
favortes as souvenirs of childish days, and
pretty playthings for little friends and guests !;
but perhaps even they, tall and womanly as
they are, would be puzzled to tell why we
call it doll, and not, as the French do, q
puppet or paupit or, with the Italians,
bambino or baby. What is the meaning of
the word doll ?
To explain, must go back to far away
times, when it was the fashion all over the
Christian world for mothers to give their lit
tie children the name of n patron saint
Some saints were more popular than others
and st. Dorothca was at one period perhaps
the most popular of all. Dorothea and its
quaint English variation, Dorothy, have, rs
my little Greek scholars know, u very pretty
meaning-"Gift of God" But as few people
like to call a toddling wee thing by long
and stately name, the Dorotheas were short
ened in nursery talk to Dolly and Doll, and
from giving tho babies the nickname it was
an easy step to give the same to the little
images of which the babies were so fond.

The object of education is TO instil prin.

"A young man was discussing with more

about farm work to drive ducks to water"

A SnreWd Physician.

The curious iuncies that will sometimes
seize upon persons is illustrated in the story
of Il Western physician, who says he had a
patient in theperson OF Il young lady, who
conceived the idea that she was very sick and
would never be able to again leave her bed.
The doctor examined her, but could discover
no evidence ofany organic disease, and, after
pre- scribng something that wouldn't do her
any harm, left. Day after day the same thing
was repeated, and, though he could not ac-
count for the cause, he discovered that the
patient was growing weaker and weaker.
One day he noticed that she was caressing
her hair, which was of Il beautiful golden
color, and which she kept very neatly braided
She was smoothing the braids with her hands
with great affection. The doctor said moth
ing, but the next day he told the lady that
the only way to prevent her rapid decline
was to have her hair cut very short. That
settled it, The next day the lady was out of
bed and wasn't sick bit.

True HerOisn.

Superintendent Heating relates the follow
ing exhibition of unexampled GOODNESS on
the part of James Cavnnaugh, who was sGri-
ously injured by the premature explosion of
blast in the Hale ~ Norcross mine last
week: AT The time of the accident round
of three holes had been charged aud the fuses
lit by Cavanaugh, when one of them prema-
turcly exploded. Miners rushed 10 the re-
scuc of Cavanaugh, who was lying on the
floor of the drift covered with blood and
blackened with powder-smoke. He shouted
To the men, Don't come in here only one
of the holes has been fired" For some rca-
son the lighted candlc-snulfs under the other
two charged holes did not ignite the fuses
leading to the powder, and it is supposed
that Cavanaugh's body in falling brushed the
lighted candle-snufs away without his being
aware of it. Although momentarily expect
ing to hear the deatening roar of the explo-
sion of the two remaining blasts, the firing
(which would in all probability have prov
ed his death lucl aud left him II frightfully
mangled looking corpse, he still thought
of the safety of his fellow-miners,
and had the presence of mind to
warn them of their danger. Such
an exhibition of self.sacrficng herosm in
the gloomy, silent underground workers of
mine-wth the momentary anticipation of
painful, torturing death staring the brave
miner in the face-eclipses that OF the deeds
of the most valiant warrior who ever fell on
battle field.

Beyond the gates of even.
Where whispers of the souls release
Seem mystic hints OF heaven.

Forever more tomorrow lends
Bright visions of completeness;

With faces full of sweetness:
But backward all seems dim and gray,
And vaguely touched with sorrow;
care not for your yesterday,
If may have tomorrow.
The past is past-ah dead indeed.
