The Girl Who Helps Mother.

There is u girl l love to think of.
She is the girl who helps mother. In
her w home she is a blessed it'll:
saint and comforter; she takes IN
finished tasks from the tired stiff fin
gers, is Il staff upon which the grey
haired, white-faced mother leans and
is rested. She helps mother with the
spring sewing, with the weeks mend
ing, with a cheerful conversation and
congenial companionship that some
girls do not think worth wasting on
"Only MOTHER And when there comes
= day when she must bend over the
body Of her mother, hands folded. dis
quiet merged in rest, the girl who
helped mother will find u benedictiop
Of peace upon her head and in her
heart.
Would it not he u good plan to de-
vote some time and attention to the
humane education of these children in
a public schools !-Ex.

The printing press has made kings
and presidents, killed poets, furnished
bustles for beauties and polished
genius with criticism. 1t has made
worlds get up at roll call every morn
ing, given the pulpit lungs of iron and
Il voice OF steam. 1t has set the price
on II buslel of wheat, and made the
country p~ostOf1ice the glimmering
goal OF the country scribe. 1t has cur
tailed the power Of kings, graced the
pantry shelves and busted, it has con-
verified bankers into paupers and made
lawyers of college presidents; it has
educated the homeless and robbed the

Signal Service.

A man connected with the signal
service, on going home late at night,
encountered a footpad at q lonely cor
ner of the street. The man in the pad
business requested the gentleman to
''stand and deliver" And so he did,
delivering a telling blow Oh the fell
lows nose, which caused him to see
more stars than are travelling this sea-
son with their own special combina-
tiOns. "This is a mere local distrub-
ance,' said the weather bureau man,
who was getting into a higher tempera-
ture, "but look out for a cyclone from
the northwest, attended by hail." and
the blows hailed on his adversary ut a
furious rate. The footpad was not
prepared for this, having previously
dealt with customers who not only
turned over all the portable property
they had but gave him their note at
thirty days besides. He tried te es-
cape from the existing area of low
pressure i'll an eastward direction, with
a more or less DETECTION towards the
north, as the arrow indicates, -,
although that de. ends on how you hold
the paper. The storm centre moved
rapidly in the same direction, catching
him in the lower lake region with a
No. 10 boot, resulting in a falling bar
room-eter. AS the signal man re-
sumed his homeward way he softly
%marmured, Slightly warmer, but
clearer weather.',-Teras Sittings.

Love in Bird Life.

What frauds birds are. They are
represented in poetry as sweet, gush-
ing things, rising to greet the morn
with melody and bursting forth in song
on the slightest provocation. To read
bird poetry II might consider them
the most amiable of Gods creatures ;
when the fact is, according to natural
lists, the majority of singing birds are
waspish and quarrelsome among them
selves to a high degree. They behave
worse during their singing season,
which is also their time for mating.
when they are supposed to be fitting
about in the most loving manner,
tenderly beseeching each other to be
''my valentine" Those who have
made a close study Of birds will tell
you that mates are won not by love
but pitched battles, for the most part,
the stronger party carrying off the
prize. Some of the more pugnacious
often fight until they are killed. The
females battle furiously for the males,
who sit calmly by observing the com
bat, quite unprecedented and ready to
say. may the best bird win. Some
times the cOnqueror flies off with her
dearly won valentine, only to meet
some superior female on the way who
disputes the prize and wins it. II the
superior female be a "star" singer in
bird opera she probably has to sup
port her husband, until she can get
rid Of him and spare another.-Teras
&iffti.gs.

storm had rather serious effect on the
railroads The day passenger on the

not arrive until / o'clock this morning

but chiefly to an obstruction caused by a

The Milwaukee passenger was over an
hour late last night, occasioned by de-
lay at Savanna waiting for the Minnesp'

In order to explain the manner in

is furnished by Mr.. George Gibbs, me-
