The Best Pet of All,

The best pet of all is the little child old
enough to talk and to understand, with a
child's comprehension. The child that is a
pet is always promising to be better pet,
because more appreciative one. Its recep-
tive and retentive mind is greedily gathering
ten thousand facts and then ten thousand
more, all with each added year the little one
not only fills larger place in your affections,
but you are becoming more to the youngster,
to be treasured in fond regard through all the
years of mature life
Every month, and week, and day is step
toward manhood or wolnanhood, evincing
expanding intelligence and growing affec-
tions, and cementing the bonds of friendship
and love between the little pet and the elder
persons who are nourishing its absorbing
mind and are guiding its otherwise uncertain
footsteps i'll the best path of life toward the
goal of thought, love and action.-Good
Housekeeping.

Hot Concentrations,

We all know the value of hot applications,
but the mode of making and the applying
differ in almost every house. An exchange
gives the following: Wiring several thick
nesses of flannel out of cold water, so it will
not drip; place between two folds of paper,
and lay it upon hot register or top of a
stove. Steam will generate and permeate
the whole CLOTH and thus the required tenn
perature will be obtained. In this way there
is no running long distances to kitchen, no
burning of the hands, no uncomfortable
moisture in the bed and no ruffied tempers.
A hot fermentation is beneficial in almost
every acute disease accompanied by severe
pain, and is often Of great service in chronic
infammations. 1t is more effectual and
more accessible than any other therapeutic
agent By quick, prompt and thorough
use severe attacks of illness are often pre-
vented. Herald of Health.

The Needed Word of Praise.

Many man ruins the peace of his house
hold forever by neelecting to speak the word
of praise which his hungry hearted wife has
yearned all day to hear, and bestowlng 1t
upon some chance caller or stranger. The
man who fails to notice the careful toilet his
wife has made for his sake, and compliments
the good taste in dress exh. bited by some
neighbor, sows the seed of jealousy in a dis
appointed heart
Woman was made to be loved, petted and
appreciated by man. Whatever else she may
achieve in life, she feels herself cheated out of
her biTthright unless this happiness has come
to her. She is jealous of whatever and who
ever may stand between her and that desired
joy. [ have known two mothers who were
jealous of their own children. Unnatural
and terrible this may seem, [ felt the
greatest sympathy for both women. In each
case the husband utterly ignored the wife for
her offspring. She was a secondary cOnsid-
Grafton, neglected and rebuked where the
children were caressed and Appreciated

Concerning Early Marriages.

1t is, think, an erroneous idea that early
marriages are a hindrance rather than a help
to success in life and the mental development
and happiness of the parties That this i
sometimes the case is true; but believe that
more young men, and girls too, have been
saved from ruin and wretchedness by ar
early marriage than have been ruined by it.
There is something inspiriting and ennobling
in the possession of home and family 10
work for and beautify, and if the girl and
boy are poor, should still say, marry young
and work together for the home and the com
petence, which will be all the more enjoyable
because they are the result of toll and self de
NAL. Don't wait until you can afford to be-
gin just where your father and mother leave
off, for then the freshness of youth will be
gone, and, although it may be morning with
you STILL the shades will be stretching on
towards the monday, and habits will have
been formed which are hard to break, while
the chances are they will never be broken at
all.-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

ception. The programme of dances was
an exceedingly neat one and contained

interviewing aenry Ward Beecher.
There are probably but few newspaper re
porters in this city that have not interviewed
Henry Ward Beecher. The Plymouth pas
TOR enjoys great popularity among the re-
pprters, for he is accessible, genial, and, as
rIile, talkative. He is always ready to en-
gage in harmless bit of chaff with the news
papAr men, but he will not brook insolence.
The last mentioned fact was recently i'm
pressed upon the alleged mind of a swagger-
ing yoIpgster who said that he represented
Brooklyn paper. A rumor that Mr.. BeecheI
was dead got started in some Cnaccountab le
manner andspread like wildfire. Reporters
by the score hurried to Mr.. Beecher's house
AMI were there confronted by the famous
preacher hale and hearty. After a while
along came young man who said to Mr..
Beecher with an impudent grin that he had
been sent by the city editor of The Brooklyn
- "to find out whether Beecher was alive
or dead"
"Well," said the Plymouth pastor, II sup
pose you know who l ana"
ooh, yes" answered the fellow pertly, "but
would like to have it directly from you that
you are not dead"
"Ah," murmured the stalwart pastor as he
laid heavy hand on the funny young mans
coat collar The next instant the young man
was held up in the air and shaken as dog
would shakea sawdust doll Mr. Beecher set
him down OH the sidewalk not any too gently
and quietly remarked, "Now, you can go tc

Let Us Not Fret.

Sometimes my wife and I say on Sunday:
"Now let us agree that we will not say a
single cross word to any one this whole week
Let us be studiously polite to each other and
to the children. Let us be very mindful of
the feelings of every person with whom We
may come into contact. Let us not fret nor
complain nor do anything that good, decent,
well behaved Christians should not don And
if when the next Sunday comes, we have,
through the grace of God, kept this resolve,
it goes without saying that we have been
happy and the world has perhaps been made
little better for our being in it.-Zenas

A Portuguese woman Drowned

The steamer Waialeale, which arrived
Sunday from Kauai, brought news of a
Portuguese woman having been washed
off the rocks at Kilauea last Tuesday
morning and drowned. The woman was
fishing at the time and was accompanied
by one of her children, a six-year old
boy. The boy having become tired
waiting for his mother, returned to the
plantation and said nothing until an
older brother asked him where his
mother was. The child then said she
was in the water. Parties went down to
the place to look for the woman, but
could not find her. The next day a boat
cruised about looking for the body, but
without finding it. Up to the time of
the leaving OF the Waialeale the remains
had not been recovered. The woman
leaves husband and six children

Lady Chatham's dog suffered from over

ut length heard that the blacksmith Of
the village had said he could cure it. The
smith was scnt for. and undertook to cure
the net if he could be allowed to keep il
for three weeks.
My lady pleaded that she might be per
mitted to visit her fayorite two or three
times week. but this was steadily re
fused. and the man was at length allowed
TO depart with the patient.
For the next three weeks much amuse.
mcnt was afforded in the smithy by the
sight of Lady Chatham's fat poodle tied
under the bellows in such position that
it painted with the eXertion OF getting up
whenever the bellows was used The
smiths boy also drove the creature round
the orchard three times 4 day. tied with
string This reduced the fat Of the pam

and milk restored the tone of its digestive
organs At the end of three weeks the
smith returned the dog fully recruited.
