a Very wicked story.

When Minister Thomas re-entered
Portland society with beautiful
Swedish wife there was a general sem
sation. and the storytellers, as well as
the gossips OF less imaginative turn,
found an abundance of material for
their employment.
The story goes that al home break
fast one morning, before Mrs. Thomas
had acquired much English, an awlS-
ward servant spilled some coffee Sn the
minister's coat
That's pretty piece of
workr' exclaimed the minister
..What did you say then, my dlar?"
Mrs. Thomas innocently asked in
Swedish.
II said this is a very fine cup OF
coffee, blandly repeated her husband
in the same language.
That evening Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
attended brilliant party. With a
laudable wish to compliment the re-
freshments and at the same time hon
or the English language by expressing
her sentiments in it the beautiful
sSwede exclaimed sweetly, after u sip
of fragrant Mocha, That's --
pretty piece OF work."
Who do you suppose was so wicked
as TO invent that storyg-Lewiston

Flesh Food.

The first men were, perhaps, not even
able to catch wild animals; nature al
most forced them to content themselves
with frugal diet. And even supposing
a stout child, left to the instruction of
its instincts, were to be locked up with
lamb or a small goat and full set of
butchers tools, would the starving in-
FAINT try to save its life at the expense
OF its fellow-Sids? Hardly sooner than
hungry pather would try to still his
hunger with bagful of apples. The
panther. in the child's place, would
need but little encouragement to turn
the lamb into mutton, and the child
would ask no better fun than a private
interview with an apple-sack. The
lessons OF anatomy could explain the
results of that experiment Our whole
organism is strictly that of a frugivor-
Gus animal. Our entrails bear no re-
semblance TO those of fiesh-eating
brute. Our dentition is entirely differ
eat from that OF the carnivorous wolf
oc the omnivorous pig, but tooth for
tooth, corresponds with that of the
fruit-eatiug monkey. Our hands are
made for tree-climbing and apple
plucking, rather than for scratching
and tearing. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Geological Ages.

Geology teaches us that in the sue
cessivc ages OF the earth ages cover
ing, perhaps, most incredible time
spaces, each distinctive geological con-
dition has developed distinct charac-
teristics OF organization in matter.
Thus, one geologic age developed
gigan tic ferns; another, quadrupeds Of
monstrous size; and the latest OF all,
man, the Intelligent being. But, re-
CARELESS Of time and circumstance,
wherein and under which the several
distSictive genera of vegetable and
animal existence have been developed,
we must deduce from the geological
lesson the constant inference: that the
creative principle attends on matters
awnits the necessary conditions, and
inevitably develops organized forms,

THE CHEROKEE ROSE.
Not a Cherokee, but a Chinese
Flower After ALL


The Cherokee rose, by the way. is a
wonder In itself, and its history is pic.
turesque. Growing apparently spon-
taneously through the southern Allan
tic and gulf states and with special
luxurance in the uplands Of Georgia
and South Carolina. it was associated
with the Cherokee Indians, whose
fatherland that region was until the
whites drove them out OF 1t. Scarcely

springing everywhere by the wayside,
and gloriously festooning even the tall
pine stumps in the woods, remained to

lie. The flower was not relic Of the
Indians; and instead OF being native to
the Georgia and Carolina region, where
it was found rioting in luxuriance, the

The Best Time to Battle.

1t is best to battle just before going

is thus avoided, and the complexion is
improved by keeping warm for several
hours after leaving the bath. A couple
Of pounds OF bran put into thin bag

for softeuing the skin 1t should be
left to soak in small quantity OF
water several hours before being used.

thorough cleansing and purifying OF

How to Raise BOYS.

Bishop j. ii. Vincent, in g recent
lecture at Philadelphia, made some
very truthful and interesting state
ments. The boy he described was the
one who failed TO recognize the pro-
prieties OF life, who always spoke when
it were better for him TO keep quiet,
the noisy, generous, mlschief-loying.
whistling, everyday boy. Not the
bad boy who was always hanged at
twenty years Of age, nor the good boy
who always died at the age of ten.
Making the boy baby as the starting
point, the Bishop drew a picture of
him as pet, admired and caressed
more than at any other portion Of his
life. After babyhood came the second
stage, the period when, if any trait in
his character was noticeable. it was
the fact that he was not girl;
when he blossomed out in trousers. in
20 the pockets Of which he thrust his
chubby fists. and wore boots, and al
ways wanted TO be outdoors. At this
period the boy is extremely honest.
He always tells what he thinks. and
worse than all, what his mother and
sister think. The boy forgets nothing,
and his memory at this date is simply
wonderful.
Then there was hiatus of some four
years. and the boy was introduced at
the age Of twelve years. Life to him
was one long April fool day. This boy
could run farther. est more and sleep
longer than any thing created At
this pirlod he had Sswer friends and
Bympathizers than at any time OF his
life. In fact the only friend he now
had was his mother, and no boy should
ever forget this. The Bishop con
trasted the life of girl eleven years
with that OF boy, and thought the
girl had much the better OF him. She
was dressed neatly aud was the pride
Of the family. while the boy was al
ways dirty and incorrigible. At this
lperiod OF the boys life he formed far
better estimate Of his father than his
father did of him.
The last period of a boys life wa
when he was sixteen This glimpse o
the boy is very brief. for he believes
himself to be man. Now he washe:
in perfumed soap. oils his hair, takes
/. great pride in his dress, especially b
crayats, shayes and shaves with fixe
purpose raise beard.
AT this time he has opinions, and
the questions of theology which have
bothered theologians for centuries al
decided by him off-handei. He know
every thing worth knowing; calls hi
father the ''old man, and makes grea
lpretenses of authority. But confidenc'
in himself is unlimits1 But at thi
, period his love for his mother is shown
: in its first manly light, and it is th'
most pleasing trait Of his character.
In closing the Bishop urges tire,
! things in the boys behalf He woul
/ nave the boy attend public service il
church on every Sunday; he believe
r hat all boys should be sent topubli
schools, and urged that the best teacher
be selected for his tutors; and last. tt
: BOY should feel the influences Of HON
