Good Words.


Parents are too often slow TO see the
motive of their children's kindest
actions. A little fellow has been read
ing of some young hero who helped
his father and mother in all sorts of
ways; and after rscking his brains to
think how he, too, can help he re-
members that he can fetch his fathers
slippers, and take his boots away and
put them in the proper place. With
out saying a word TO anybody, when
evening comes he does it; but the
father is 80 occupied that he notices
not what the boy has done. The
little fellow hopes on, thinking that
Wien he goes to bed his father will
say how pleased he was to sec Charley
SO willing to help but not a word is
uttered, and the boy goes up to bed
with choking feeling in his throat,
and says his prayers by the bedside
with a sadness very real in his heart
Parents often complain of children
not being so ready to help as they
should be: the fault is with the
parents, who have not known how to
evoke feelings with which the heart
of every child is richly stored. All
words of approval are helpful and
encouraging. In large family there
have been days of anxiety and care.
The eldest daughter by her skill in
teaching has earned a little extra
money, and without a word to any
one she lays nearly all of it out in
buying things that are much needed
in the house. What joy fills her
heart when fond mother takes her
aside, and with emotion that cannot
be concealed says how thankful she is
for such considerable kindness, and
murmurs; 81 don't know what we
should do without you, darling"
My friends, do not be so chsry of
these words of encouragement.

A Hint to the Ladies.

A lady entered drug store in Broad
way and called for this mixture: One
quart of deodorized benzine, one dram of
sulphuric ether, one dram of ehloroform,
two drains of alcohol, and just enough CO.
logne to make it pleasant.
When she had gone, the clerk remarked
to a spectator; ''Do you know what she
wanted that preparation for? You would
not be far out of the way if you guessed
that she was going to wash some soiled
gloves. This is one of the best and cheap
est preparations for cleansing that l know
of You pour little of the mixture into
a clean bowl and wash the gloves with it
as you would wash anything with soap and
water When the dirt is about removed,
rinse the gloves in some clean fluid. Usual
ly one rinsing is enough, but if the
gloves are very much soiled rinse a
second time. If the gloves are of a
cheap kind, it is best to dry them on
the hand, but fine glove, after having
been rubbed with a soft cloth to smooth
out the wrinkles, may be hung on a line to
dry like an ordinary garment. The prepa-
ration is an excellent thing to have handy,
not only for rejuvenating gloves, but for
removing grease spots from clothing and
| carpets and for sponging coat collars and
felt hats. The ladies in town save con-
siderable money by following that ones
example.

Expensive Fun.


A physician of ST. Paul related the fol-
lowing little incident in the career Of a
fellow student. The appearance of the
latter was not such as to impress the casual
observer with the idea that he was an
4Esculapius in the science of medicine. and
when be swung his title an. D" out in
the chilly breeze, it attracted little atten-
ton from the sick and suffering. The
man also became an unconscious butt of
some Of the more light-hearted young
ladies. Several of the bolder ones finally
coneocted a scheme designed to bring him
to irretrieyable humiliation. A messenger
was dispatched in haste to summon the
yopng Galen to set a fractured limb
Quickly gathering the bandage and instru-
ments necessary, the doctor followed. Ar
irving at the house designated, he was met
with due gravity and informed that his
patient was in the rear yard, whittier he
was at once led There upon the ground
was a rooster which had been unfortunate
enough to break his leg or shall | say
limb ? Amid hardly suppressed giggles,
w WHS AuAoAthCA tAtdb uSIC Was lttC pdtitHl
COmprehending the situation in an Instant,
the doctor gravely and expeditiously set
the broken member of Chanticleer, putting
it in plaster bandage with all the care
usually vouchsafed to humanity, aud for
once fowl with broken leg was in luck
instead of in the soup. The young ladies
were greatly pleased over their adventure,
and proclaimed it among their friends with
great gusto, but when some days later a
bill for s25 for reducing fracture was
received, the laugh died away In vain
they asserted that it was a joke, and that
they were only in fun The prescription
writer said he wasn't in fun and there was
no joke in it for him-nothing but the fee,
and he proposed to have that if he had to
sue for it. He got it, and poeketed it with
a little observation on laughing about sun
down instead of in the forenoon.

Growing Strawberries.
The Peninsula Farmer.

The following article in reference to the
cultivation of strawberries should be read
with interest by those engaged in the bust
ness: Perhaps the largest crop of straw
berries ever attained on this peninsula was
grown by friend of mine in the following
manner The soil was sandy loan, and
of ordinary fertility, aud was thrown up
into six foot lands, thoroughly prepared,
and plants set eighteen inches apart, making
three rows length of land, plants being
eighteen inches apart each way After the
plants started to grow they were heavily
ashed with oak ashes, and heavily mulched
with fine hay to depth of three inches,
the crown of the plant only being held up
with the fingers, and the mulch worked
well around the plants. They were never
touched after mulching, no working what
ever was done to them. They grew so
rapidly that by fall the patch was solid
bed; each plant touching the other No
runners were allowed to root. In fruiting
season the strawberry patch was sight to
behold, and each plant averaged over
quart, an average of 10000 quarts q
ries per acre,

ment While lying down single shots and
volleys were discharged by the men firing
over the horses as rests. Two or three of
the most stubborn brutes were conquered
by sheering patience and perseverance.
One little sorrel bronco, in particular, was
so wild and vicious that his hind feet had
never been shed, nor had he ever been rid
den without serious accident. He was
literally "wild, woolly, and hard to curry"
The trouble with this imp in equine form
was putting the straps on him in the first
place. 1t was like the mice agreeing that
under the circumstances the best thing to
be done was to put bell on a collar and
put the collar on the cats neck. But no
volunteers appeared to put the collar on
the cat.
BREAKING A BRONCO.
To accomplish the strapping, strategy
was used, and for long time without sue
cess. The strap was laid in a moose on the
ground and the horse was lead artifully so
that one of his fore feet would be in the
moose; then with quick jerk an attempt
was made to catch his hoof, but the imp
was too quick and would never walk into
any such trap again willingly. Six power
full men with straps finally threw him one
day and held him down Then his pro-
test commenced. His hind feet few out,
and continued to fly out, with ve-
locity and power that was wonderful
and in the highest degree exhilirating.
nd ha -olo,,,al,- sha4 :
there had been any shoes on that horses
hind feet, no matter how tightly nailed on,
they would have flown off and landed
probably somewhere across the river in
Mexico. Kind measures were used, how
ever long time, and the imp was finally
quieted and allowed to rise.
After time an attempt was made to
throw him again, which was an exact du-
plicate of the other. This time, after
throwing him, the lash was applied with
singing cut to his legs at every kick, and
this finally triumphed. In half hour he
lay quite still and submitted to patting on
every part of his body, including his feet.
In ten days he was gentle as any horse in
the troop. By the last of January, 1889,
every horse in the command would lie
down at the bugle call, allow firing over
him in any position, and rise at the call for
rising. The best result of the training
was the establishment of complete under
standing between the horse and his rider,
40 that the latter had perfect confidence
in his own ability to ride and manage the
former, and the former, while feeling that
the rider was his master, was not cowed by
cruelty or brutality.

in all other directions by the swollen
streams The dam or reservoir which
burst and wrought all this destruction is
situate on the south fork of the Conemaugh
river. about two miles above its mouth, at
the village of South Fork. The original
dam, built for the state by a Mr.. Moore
head, of Pittsburg, had breast 20 feet in
height and extended back two and half
miles, and was nearly mile wide. Along
the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad and
Conemaugh river, from South Fork, a dis
tance of ten miles, there are several villages
and towns Among them was the thriving
village of Mineral Point, which was entirely
wiped out and sixteen persons drowned
Down this narrow valley, with Its teeming
population and its vast business interests,
the immense volume of water let loose from
the broken reservoir rushed madly on, till
it reached the Pennsylvania Railroad shops
at East Conemaugh, carrying the lower
portion of the village of South Fork, coal
tipple, factories, cars, engines, and one I'M
mense freightage of debris gathered from
the mountain and valley until it struck the
round house in Conemaugh, where there
were thirty engines, 1t sweptit level with

the breast of the mighty torrent. Next it

Next was Johnstown, where thousands of
people lost their lives. | have been on the
ground for two days, going from place to
place. and don't believe that either tongue
or pen can give any adequate description OF
the scenes Many of those who escaped said
to me that it was no wonder the city was
smitten with such judgment, for it was so
wicked, and some said they were not pre-
pared to say it was a Judgment, but if the
city was rebuilt, as they hoped it would be,
they hoped better state of morals would
prevail than existed before the great flood,
which caused so much distress and sorrow.
There are few who have given up in de-
spair, but, with brave hearts, all who are
able are at work trying TO save what IS
left of their furniture and household goods.
Many are unable to find their houses,
