Let the Girls ROmp.

Most mothers have dread of romps,
SO they lecture the girls daily on the
prophecies, and exhort them to be lit
tie ladies. They like to see them very
quiet and gentle and as prim rs pos
sible. The lot of such children is rather
pitiable, for they are deprived of the
to. Children--boys and girls-must
have exercise to keep them healthy.
Deprive them of it, and they will fade
away like flowers without sunshine.
Running, racing, skipping, climbing
these are the things that strengthen
the muscles, expand the chest, and
build up the nerves. The mild dose
of exercise taken in the nursery with
calisthenics or gymnastics will not in
yigorate the system like a good romp
in the open air. Mothers, therefore,
who counsel their little girls to play
very quietly make mistake. Better
the laughing, rosy-cheeked, romping
girl than the pale, lily-faced one who
is called every inch lady. The latter
rarely breaks things, or tears her dress
es, or tires her mothers patience as the
former does; but, after all, what does
the tearing and breaking amount to?
1t is not a wise policy to put an old
head on young shoulders. Childhood
is the time for childish pranks and
plays. The girls Will grow into woman
hood soon enough. Let them be chill
dren as long as they can. Give them
plenty of fresh air and sunlight, and
let them run and romp as much as
they please. BY all means give us
hearty, healthy, romping girls, rather
than palefaced little ladies, condemned
from their very cradles to nervousness,
headache, and similar ailments.

Fables are supposed to teach some
thing. The lesson taught by this one,
translated from the Persian of Zambri,
the Parsee, Will be found, as usual, at
the end
A rat seeing cat approaching, and
finding no avenue of escape, went bold
ly up to her, and said:
Madam, [ have Just swallowed a
powerful dose of bane, and, in accord
ance with the instructions upon the
label, have come out of my hole to die.
VIII you kindly direct me to a spot
where my corpse will prove peculiarly
offensive?"
"Since you are so ILL.," replied the
cat, Il will myself conduct you to o
spot which | think will suit"
SO saying, she stuck her teeth
through the nape of his neck and trot-
ted away with him. This was more
than he had bargained for, and he
squeaked shrilly with pain.
"Ah!" said the cat "a rat who knows
he has but a few minutes to live never
makes fuss about little agony. |
don't think, my fine fellow, YOU have
taken poison enough to hurt you or
me-"
SO she male a meal of him.
If this fable does not teach that rats
get no profit by lying, [ should be
pleased to know what in the name of
common or uncommon sense it does
teach.

Where Log Cabins Flourish.

party of American gentlemen. who
had been camping out on an island in the
great Lake Nipissing, Canada, last sum-
mer, swere returning in a sail-boat and
were yet seven miles from port when the
sun went down, and with it the sailing
breeze.
A discouraging situation, truly.
Never mind, | can row you there inside
of two hours" said the guide who had
charge OF the party, as their murmurs
arose.
"Why, man, it is seven miles, there are
four OF us in this heavy boat-it is a big job
you undertake y said one.
No matter, | have done the likes before
and can do it again, =" cheerfully replied the
broad-shouldered Irishman as he slowed
away the sail and bent to the oars. He..was
a splendid oarsman and the boat was soon
under Roadway again.
'What would / not give to enjoy your
health and strength" remarked the Pro-
lessor.
Yes, am pretty healthy, and though l
am past sixty | feel as strong as ever" re-
piled the guide. But only three years ago
| stood at deaths door, and never thought
70 pull an oar again. You see, / was in the
woods all winter, logging, and | got into
water one day and caught cold. 1t settled
on my lungs and / had bad cough which
hung on till | ran down almost to a
shGltlbil.
Call in physician2
Eyes, | went twenty miles through the
bush to see a doctor; he gave me some
medicine, but it didn't help me much"
How was the cure effected?
An old Scotch lady, who had come over
from the States, gave Inc preparation Of
baIsam and herbs, which she said the
early settlers in America used, end it soon
stopped my cough and put me on my feet
again.
One has but to travel along the frontier to
learn how easy it is to get along without
doctors and how effective are the natural
remedies which the old grandmothers know
how to prepare. They often cure where
he best physicians fail
Every mother Of a family knows how
oughs and colds are quickly and radically
ured with syrups and teas made from bal
sans and herbs which grandmother
taught us how to make"
Warmers Log Cabin cough and consump-
non remedy was, after long investigation
INTO the merits and comparison with other
old time preparations, selected from them
because proved to be the very best of them
all. 1t Eas brought back the roses to
many pallid cheek-there is no known
remedy its equal as a cure for coughs and
colds

loneliness. Can't you, in your heart of
hearts, have little pity on my misery ?"
As he ceased speaking his lovely
features We're drawn with pain. He was
"a master at controlling his feelings ex-
cept in the presence of this girl. He
knew that he had no power over her.
| and that now, since he could not per-
suade her to be his wife, his only re-
course was stratagem or force. Lenora
stood looking at him without shadow
| of pity crossing her face. When Noll
ceased speaking, she replied:
You have no one to blame for your
misery but yourself, Mr. Noll. You
understand, L do not consider YOU a
gentleman, and any rational person who
knew how You have stolen me away
from all my happiness and imprisoned
me here, when prefer death to your
presence, would know you were acting
wrong, and not the part of a gentle
nan. / entreat you to act thoughtfully
| and right. | wrote to my uncle some
time ago to come for me- and when he
does you shall be proparly punished;
but now redeem yourself little in the
estimation Of those who really know
you, by letting me go-by giving me
my freedom.
90, precious freedom, l pray you to
give me, sir, and let me go back to
those who really love me-"
"Ha, hal Your home, YOU fair
temptress; your home is here, the only
one you now have, and | am the only
one who rightly loves you. For your
own sake you had best yield and be
mine. l viii take you away from all
this away off in fair, beautiful lands,
where you shall want for nothing that
money can buy. o, yield, ] beg of
you, for this is your last chance. /
will give you Just three minutes to say
yes or no. and then, if it be no, | shall
place you in n little cell, just off my
room, and you shall be kept there
under lock and key until | return, when
| shall carry you off, as | brought you
here. Now, remember, just three
minutes
And he drew out his watch to count
the minutes. One minute had gone,
and Lenora stood pressed against the
wall, trembling, and as pale as death,
while her parched, pale lips were moy-
ing in prayer to heaven for protection
Two minutes had gone, and yet no
help came to the little sufferer; three
minutes, and the time was up.
Noll closed his watch, and the little
| click of the spring startled Lenora.
He looked at her with Il cold, strange
gaze, as if he knew that her answer
would not be what he wanted.
What is your answer"
"No: never"
just then Henry opened the door of
the library.
Master, here is letter for the mis-
tress; she isn't in her room, and, too,
it is time to start if you want to catch
that train. The carriage is waiting at
the gate"
Lenora quickly sprang to Henry's
side, despite the weakness of her body.
Her little remaining strength was re-
newed by the hope that aid would soon
reach her in her hour of greatest trial.
