Woman's True Position.

Mrs. Bcclcr, in her sensible talks
in the Brooklyn Magazine, calls at
tention to the prevalent discomfort
OF women with their home duties, and
assures them that llomc-making is
the most honorable duty that they
can perform, since the lack of true
homes is the main cause of the strict
and sin that curses the world.
Home she says, is the true king
dom OF woman, where her rights can
never be dcthroncd. that all pure
love, all right thoughts I'LL religions,
all governments. ii VIC would have
them live and flourish, must have
their roots beneath it's altar. This
conviction impcls me to say to every
woman who has Il home. "Iet home
stand first before all other things!
No matter how high your ambition
may transcend it's duties, no matter
how foryour talents or Your influence
may reach beyond its doors, before
everything else build mp IL true
home! BE not its slave; he it's minis
ter! Let it not be enough that it is
swept and garnisllch. that it's silver
is brilliant, that its food is delicious,
but feed the love in it. feed Inc truth
in it, feed thought and aspiration,
feed all charity and gcntleneSs in it.

Animals With Peculiar Eyes.

Nature has enabled some animals
to see objects behind them as well rs
in front without turning around.
The hare has this power in Il marked
degree. Its eyes are large, prominent
and placed literally. Its powers of
seeing things in the rear is very
noticeable in grey hound coursing,
for though this dog is mute while
running, the hare is able to Judge to
a nicely the exact moment at which
it will be best for ic to double.
Horses are another instance. 1t is
only necessary to watch Il horse,
driven invariably without blinkers,
to notice this. Take for instance,
those on tramways. Let the driver
ever attempt to take the whip in
hand, and il the horse is used to the
work he will at once increase his
pace. The giraffe, which is Al very
timid animal, isapproaclled with the
utmost difficulty, on account OF it's
eyes being SO placed that it can see
ms well behind as in front. When
approached tllissam facult v enables
it to direct with great precision the
rapid storms of kicks with which it
defends itself.

Cured by an Accident.
From the Kingston Leader


a Washington Avenue hotel keeper
tells IL curious story oflow hcgot rid
of an ailmcnt byan accident. About
five years ago he fell through Il trap
door in liigginsvillc store, and,
Icing i, heavily built man, was quite
badly hurt. When, after being con-
fined to the house for several weeks,
he got around again, lie discovered
that lie could scarcely open his
mouth, his jaws having become stiff
ened. Thinking that after II time
his jaws would relax, he did not
consult doctor and said nothing
about his trouble. They did not
resume their natural condition, and
as he became accustomed to eating
soup and munching his food lie con-
cluded to let matters stand as they
We're. When the Sleiglt fire occurred,
IL few weeks ago, among those
who came to witness the conhagra-
tion was this hotel keeper. He stood
on Rernstein's corner, and, as the
water from the hose came over that
way he started to avoid it. He
slipped and fell to the sidewalk, and
as he struck there WAS Il swapping of
something in his jaw asst a bone had
broken. He got up, and as he
answered an inquiry, from u bystand-
er as to whether he was injured.
was agreeably surprised to find that
his jaws had relaxed and that his
ailment of five years were gone.

Saved by his Monkey.

An instance of the instinct and a
deity ola young monkey comes
from Batignollcs, Il suburb of Paris
a little boy was playing in n room
alone with the monkey, which is very
fond of its young master. The boy
was playing with the cord of n win
dow blind, pretending to hang him
self, tothc immense satisfaction OF
his simian playmate. which grinncd
and chartered near by.
Suddenly the boy became livid,
and began to cry, for the cord got
into II real moose around his neck,
Md he was in ngerotactualhang-
my.
The monkey soon realized that
something serious hadhappened.nnd
did it's best to release its master.
Finding this impossible, it quickly
hoped away to another room,
where the boys grandmother was
sitting. and began to pull Mt her
gown, to chatter. grimace, and look
NStlullS tOWttrl tIle uooi.
Atfirst, thinking that the animal
wanted to bite her. the old lady was
frightened; but seeing that it was en-
deavoring with might and main to
drag her toward the door, she rose
from her seat, and went, piloted by
the monkey, to the room where her
grandson was moaning. The boy
was iustantlycxtricatcdi from hispcr-
ilous position, though it was some
time before hc recovered from his
pninantl fright.
Jocko, the dclivcrcr, says the
French authority for this narrative,
received anicc little tablet of rhoco-
late cream for it's splendid action,
and deserved it..

and a hawk. He saw two hawks APP
parently fighting in n field. and APP
proached them without difficulty.
With IL pole he killed them and upon
turning one OF them over noticed the
head OF Il snake sticking out from
tho hawks wing. Upon investiga-
ton he found that the snake had
wound itself about the hawks neck
and was choking it to death. The
other hawk was attacking the blue
racer in attempts to release his mate.
The hawks were big fellows and the
snake of medium size. 1fleftull alone
it would have undoubtedly killed
