A New Use for ClOthes.Pins.

"Girls, what do you think these are
good for?" asked Mamie Brown of her
two little Brown sisters. She held up
one of the clothes-pins they were pick
ing up from the grass, where NOrah
had left them after taking in the wash,
What do we think they are good for?
Why, to fasten the clothes to the line,
of course" answered the other two lit
tie Browns in a breath; "every one
knows that" "But there's another
use for them said Mamie; "NOrah
told me last night. She says if we put
them on our noses so and she put
one astride her nose as she spoke
they will make our noses of the most
beautiful shape, not at all PIGGY and
turned up as they are now, you know.
Wouldn't it be splendid to try it?"
Now the three little Browns had noses
that were most decidedly turned up,
and many were the times they had
each sighed in secret over the fact.
Here was their chance to shape their
noses Elegantly" as Norah told
them. That night three clothes-pins
were missing from the basket. The
three little girls, after being tucked in
by mamma for the night, each slyly
drew one from under her pillow and
put it on her nose. 1t took them some
time to go to sleep in such a queer fix,
but they did at last. When mamma
came to take last look at them before
going to bed she found them sound
asleep, each with little red nose
pinched by a clothes-pin. Although
astonished at the sight, she laughed
until the tears ran down her cheeks.
As she took off the pins and put them
back in the basket, she said: " What
won't these children do neXt?"-MrS.

Peter the GObbler.

"Just look at that old turkey,
auntiel" cried little Jean. Eyes,
auntie, do come" begged Rob; "he
has pulled himself up till he looks like
a big balloon about to fly away" So
auntie came across the room and stood
in the open door, where her little city
guests were gazing with delighted eyes
at a brood of young turkeys. "Why,
that is old Peter" she said, pointing to
the gobbler, who was making himself so
ridiculous. could tell you quite a
long story about him." PLEASE tell
it," they cried. L" He is quite an old
fellow now, but remember the time
when he was tiny ball of down, peck
ing in stupid way at the crumbs of
bread showered down into the coop,
where his mother was trying to teach
MIN and ten brothers and sisters to take
a first breakfast. The little brood did
not thrive. The damp spring weather
did not agree with them, and one by
one they fell away, until none were left
but Peter. We fed him carefully, and
when the warm days came he grew big
and strong. In August we discovered
that his mother had nest down in the
orchard in the soft grass. Peter still
followed her, showing her the greatest
affection. Soon she commenced to sit,
and still he could not leave her. What
was our surprise to find that Peter was
also sitting. Yes, there he was, close
beside his mother, on three eggs he
had managed to scratch from beneath
her. There he remained, never leaving
his self-appointed task until some funny
little creatures broke the shell and
nestled close against the soft, warm
feathers above them. Even then this
dutiful son did not consider his work
complete, for he helped take care OF
| his small brothers and sisters, and not
until they were grown did he leave
them. "-E. VI. Chapman.

A GENERAL tie-up of all the means
of public conveyance in a large city,
even for few hours during strike
of the employees, means a general par
alyzing of trade and industry for the
time being and is attended with an
enormous aggregate loss to the COM
munity. How much more serious to
the individual is the general tie-up of
his system, known as constipation and
due to the strike of the most important
organs for more prudent treatment and
better care. If too long neglected a
torpid or sluggish liver will produce Sc
rious forms Of kidney and liver dis
eases, malarial trouble and chronic dys-
pepsia. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets are preventive and cure
of these disorders. They are prompt,
sure and effective, pleasant to take and
positively harmless.

Can't and Try.

Can't-do-it sticks in the mud, but
Try soon drags the wagon out of the
rut. The fox said try" and he got
away from the hounds when they almost
snapped at him. The bees said "try,"
and turned flowers into honey. The
squirrel said "try," and he went to
the top of the beech-tree. The snow
drop said "try," and bloomed in the
cold SHOWS of winter. The sun said

Frost out of the saddle. The young
lark said " try" and he found that his
new wings took him over hedges and
bitches and up where his father was
singing. The OK said "try," and

too stiff for Try to pillow, no field too
wet for Try to drain, no hole too big for

Baby's Pigs.

Ten little pigs that grow and thrive,
Rosy and plump and clean;
Two little pens, each holding five,
And the owner is Baby Gene.
They wriggle about and root and dig,
And push again and again,
Till at last we find one dear little pig
Is out of the little red pen.
Baby Gene is a little old man,
Bald and serious, too;
He locks to the pigs whenever he can,
But he has great deal to do
And this little pig says hen get some corn,
And the next one cries o where?"
And the little one says In grandpas barn."
And the great one knows it's there.
Four pearly grains he can plainly see,
Have them he must and will;
He strains and struggles-but quee-quee-quee, 81
He can't get over the sill
So he's given it up, and off he goes
with Grandfather Gene before),
Stumbling and rubbing his little bare nose
On the way to the pantry door.
You queer little pig, you're ever so bold,
But 1t never never will do
The great wide world would he cruel and cold
To little pink mite like you.
Mamma must bring her needle and yarn
And build up the fence again
For the five little pigs would be quite fororn
outside of the little red pen.

listeners. The doctor continued
Men, and women even more, drink tea and
coffee constantly, and wonder why they feel
dull and stupid, have headaches, a bad taste
in the mouth, pains in the limbs and about the
body and irregularity of the secretions. Nine
cases out of ten these things are caused by
too free a use of tea and coffee. These drinks
clog the system, weaken the tissues and de-
stroy the most important organs. Few men
or women who indulge in tea and coffee regu-
larly have clear urine, but on the contrary,
sediment, scum and brick dust, all of which
invariably mean coming disease or death"
"But what are we to do, Doctor2 Shall we
give up tea and coffee altogether"
"No. do not advise that, but regulate IL.
Keep the kidneys clear and active. There is
nothing in the world 30 good for this as the
well known and popular Hunts Remedy. Any
one who uses this medicine regularly can drink
tea and coffee moderately without fear The
reason is that Hunts Remedy Hushes or wash
es out the kidneys, and keeps them free and
healthy. Any number of prominent men and
women can confirm what say, among the
number scores of doctors and ministers, Gen.
Butler, Gen. Monroe and Miss Alcot."
II was plain that the warning and advice Of
the doctor had made deep impression on his
listeners, as it also should upon the millions
of men and women who are shortening their
lives by the use of these drinks.

The PlOwman.

He's stealthy old fellow, the plowman;
He comes when you're " cross" so beware
. And makes but the faintest of burrows
At first with his heavy powshare.
But little by little they deepen,
Until by-and-by on your brow
Are left all the marks of the burrows
The plowman has made with his plow
And then It's quite useless to worry,
To fret and to frown and despair,
For every one sees the deep burrows
And knows that the powman was there

Grizzly and Buffalo.

When there were buffalo on the plains
the Manitoba grizzlies were great hunters
of them. When a grizzly and buffalo
met there was always sure to be a con-
test, but it seldom lasted long, and the
buffalo was usually the victim. The
buffalo would charge upon the bear,
which awaited the onset of his foe erect
on his launches. As the buffalo dashed
upon him the bear threw himself aside,
and with blow as quick as lightning
with one of his fore paws seldom failed
to break his antagonist neck. A grizzly
bear has been known to engage in quick
succession four and even five big buffalo
bulls. and to kill every one of them. 1t
frequently happened however that some
younger and more active bull than his
companions succeeded in evading the IA
tai blow of the grizzly's terrible fore paw
long enough to give in turn fatal thrust
with his horn in the bears side. punctur-

Remedies for writer's Cramp.

Change all the conditions frequently,
the height of the chair or of the table,
the kind of paper, using sometimes the
smoother, sometimes the rougher sort.
Have every description of pen and pen
holder at hand, and change them fire.
quently. Don't try to write handsome
hand, for that is something that per-
son who has writer's cramp in perfection
cannot DO. Be satisfied with legibility,
and this there need be no difficulty
about. The trouble seems to be a
nervous one, and very little things will
affect it. The change from paper that is
ruled to paper that is not, and vice versa,
will often give relief, and even change
from black INK to blue has been known
to be beneficial OF course you must
have quill pens in your assortment, but
their exclusive use will not help you. A
friend who does great deal of writing
has turned to the typewriter for relief,
but that is all that it affords. The fingers
have got into the cramp habit, and in
time the use of the typewriter wearies
and stitfens them. Nothing but an in
finite variety of appliances, constantly
changed, will afford the desired relief

The Coolies of Trinidad,

The coolies work excellently. They
are picturesque additions to the land
scapa, as they keep to the bright colors
and graceful drapery of India. The grave
dignity of their faces contrasts remark
ably with the broad, good humored, but
common features of the African. The
black women look with envy at the
straight hair of ASIA and twist their I'M

vain hope of being mistaken for the
purer race; but this is all. The African
and the Asiatic will not mix, and the
African being the stronger. will and
must prevail in Trinidad, as elsewhere in
the West Indies. Out of total popula-
ton of 10000 there are $4,000 whites
and mulattoes, 10000 coolies, the rest
negroes. The English part of the Eu-
ropeans shows no tendency to increase.
