FOR OUR YOUNG READERS.
YOUNG DIDDENTHYNK.

Whom danger lured he was always there: His prowess and zeal were unrestricted; Yet he still escaped, by the breadth of hair, The violent death so oft predicted His heart was kind; he could neer refuse To promise anew on every morning; And 1T didn't think was his one excuse In the face of every dreadful warning. But once when his mothers nerves he'd tried By strange and perilous situations And leased his sister until she cried, He was sent to bed on prisoners rations. He had bread to eat and water to drink, But he turned away for he couldn't bear 'em; And he dreamed that his name was Didden-
 thynk,
 And he'd come to the Castle of Harum
 ScaTum.
 Topsy Turvy stood at the gate,
 madcap maiden who called him cousin; She showed him the castle, weird and great, And wonderful things by the dozen, dozen. There were cresking floors and crazy stairs, And balconies high and unprotected, Murky maZes and secret snares, Covered with dust and long neglected. But in the chamber that pleased him best Pistols and bombs were the chief attraction; And rusty rifle stood with the rest, Ominous, grim and ready for action.
  ''It's the jolllest thing to raise a racket; I'll pull the trigger quick as a winkr' But Topsy Turvy had clutched his jacket. 'Let it alone say" she cried,
 While her breath came quick, and her heart
 beat double; "There are plenty of guns and things beside, But that one is sure to make us trouble. These loaded pistols are only fun; We'll play with them if you like; we'll share
 lem;
 But that is the terrible Empty Gun The deadliest weapon in Harum Scarumr' Then Diddenthynk cried out in huf,
 Why, what's the harm if it isn't loadedT' And he grasped the gun when, sure enough, At the merest touch the thing exploded! He fell to the floor with fearful cry; The air was filled with the smell of powder; The neighbors hastened to see him die, But he onl y yelled and screamed the louder. Bafled and dumb stood every one; They raised their hands and their eyes grew
 bigger;
 Never before had the Empty Gun Failed to finish the fool at the trigger. There was just one thing they could do, to be
 sure,
 In this very embarrassing situation; So the popular Doctor Killorkure Was summoned to make an examination. The Doctor came, and solemnly said: 1.-The danger can not be overstated; You see, the troubles all in his head, And fear it will have to be amputated. But then, as be doesn't think, perhaps He will hardly miss what he seldom uses, And twill save the bill for hats and caps, And an endless number of bumps and
 bruises." Then up rose each particular hair To convince the boy that he couldn't spare
 'em,
 And he leaped with gasp from the surgeons

 And out of the Castle of Harum Scarum. He landed. of course. in his own small bed, Weak and breathless and almost blinded; And since tn at day I have heard it said, He is quite discreet and serious s-minded. -EudOra S. Bumstead, in Youths Companion.

ELECTRICAL DENTISTRY.
Teeth Extracted with the Assistance O
 the Wonderful Current.

Teeth Extracted with the Assistance of
 the Wonderful Current
 Boston people nowadays have their superfluous teeth drawn by electricity. The process is very simple, scarce any apparatus being required beyond an ordinary two-cell battery with vibrator attachment This attachment is thin strip of metal fastened at the ends, which is made to vibrate thou sand or more times second by the electric current. At each vibration the circuit is cut off and renewed again, the effect being to give per- fectly steady flow of the mysterious fluid.
 In order to make sure that the flow is quite satisfactory, the operator tunes the machine assisted by little reed tuning pipe-until the strip of metal sings ''A.' Now, to the battery are attached three wires. Two of them hitched to forceps. The patient in the chair is given a handle to hold in each hand, and the current is turned on gradually until it becomes painful. Then he is told to grasp the handle as strong as possible, the electr1city- having been switched off for a moment is turned on again suddenly, and the dental surgeon applies his forceps sim- ultaneousIy to the tooth.
 The instant the molar is touched it, as well as the parts surrounding, be- comes electrified, and absolutely in- sensible to pain. When it is with drawn from the socket the subject of the operation feels not the slightest disagreeable sensation. A jerk and the tooth is out, the patient drops the electric handles, and the painless affair is er.-Indianapolis News.

throat began to feel sore, too, and ho came to the wise conclusion that he had better go directly home to his kind mother.
 It was a very tired, very cold and very sick little boy that crept into Mrs. Townsend's house that afternoon.
 When he saw his mother he cried out in hoarse voice: 70 mamma! 1 don't want boys to have their own way any more."
 "You are sick, my son." was all she replied.
 And, taking him in her arms, she laid him in his bed. Then the little fellow had a peculiar feeling all through his body, and he believed he was dying.
 Mamma" he cried. in alarm. 'don't let me die. and I'll always mind what you sayr'
 After that the feeling passed away, and he saw that his mother was smil- ing.
 "Why, Ned, you must have been dreaming" she said.
 And Ned looked down on his night clothes, and realized that all his trouble had come to him in dream.
 "At any rate," he said to himself, with sigh of relief. it tsBt best for children to have their own way, any, how" ."-S. Jennie Smith, in Christian Inquirer.

A DAY OF LIBERTY.

Why Ned Concluded That It Isn't Bes t for
 Children to Have Their Own Way.
 Ned Townsend was little boy who was particularly fond of having his own way. His mothers commands he always received with such a sullen look that he made her feel very sad. One morning he had been left to but ton his shoes, and he was pouting over them as usual when Mrs. Townsend returned to dress him for school. Taking the button-hoOk from his hand, she said, pleasantly: There has been a new law passed, my boy. Children are to have their own way for whole day; no one is to interfere with them. and when the time is up they will know whether it is better to do as their parents say, or go according to their own wishes"
 "Hurrah!" cried Ned; wont I have 8 good time! Shall I go to school to- day? Yes; I'll lose all the fun with the boys if don't. Besides, 1 won't have to mind4the teacher when I get there. How finer'
 So, without another thought for his unbuttoned shoes, he threw on his hat and OvercOat and started. The boys were having rare fun when he reached the playground, and he joined them heartily. Soon the bell rang for them to go into school, but they went on playing just the same. They all un- derstood that they were having their own way now, and they meant to play as long as they wished. However, they at last grew tired of this sport, and concluded to go inside and search for different fun. The teacher invited them to take seats, but they scorned the invitation. They laughed, and played and talked, and ran around just as if they were outside.
 ''HOw grand it is not to have to mind!" thought Ned But at that moment a rough little boy ran past Ned's desk, and knocked over the basket containing his lunch. Of course it fell on the dirty floor, and was spoiled Il wish he had been made to mind," said Ned to himself. But he tried to look happy, and to join in the general fun.
 Somehow, toward noon the privilege grew less and less satisfactory to the scholars, and without any apparent reason they began to feel cross. After that they took to quarreling, and actu- ally ended in fighting. The poor teacher looked very sorrowful, but she had no power to stop them that day. Lunch settled them for awhile, but when they had taken their last bite they became more boisterous than be- fore.
 In the meantime Ned had grown very hungry. and his feet were wet and cold. His head was aching, and the noise of the other children made it worse. He sat down and wished the teacher could get them quiet; but instead, the usually pleasant room was beginning to somewhat resemble a miniature battlefield. Ned longed to get out into the still air. ''But what flinders me?" he suddenly thought. And, leaving his seat, he hurried out of the noisy room. Then his feet ~"eW colder and wetter than ever; his

BUFFALO BILLS FATHER.
A Frontiersman Whom the Indians Looked
 On as an Evil Spirit.

A Frontiersman Whom the Indians Looked
 On an Evil Spirit.
 An Old-time resident of Denver, a day or two since, related an incident of the original Buffalo Bill" Cody, father of the present famous snowman, which has never been in print. Old man Cody was prominent figure on the plains in an early day, being the owner of an extensive trading post on the Arkansas, in the vicinity of old Fort Larned. Late in the sos he re- ceived information that the Indians proposed to clean out his ranch, which was an extensive adobe building sur rounded by stockade. He did not pay much attention to it, but the same news continued to reach him, and was at last confirmed by the arrival of large band of Cheyenne and Arapahoes and Kiowas, who camped on the op- posite side of a deep arroya from the trading post, across which the military authorities had erected bridge for the passage of supply trains.
 The savages pretended to be very friendly and wanted to trade, swapping furs and skins for ammunition, but their real object was to burn the post and carry away COdy's scalp as trophy-a fact of which the old front iersman was well informed through the spies whom he had among them. The place was well armed, but not suf- fciently manned to resist the attack of so formidable band of red skins, and Old Bill cast about to see what he could do to protect himself. In the stock yard of the fort was an old how itzer which had been abandoned by some of the plains military expedi- tions, and this he carried up to the top of the post and placed it so that it would sweep the bridge. He had plenty of powder, but no other ammu- nition fit to load it with, and so he charged the gun with old mule shoes, nails, bits of iron and similar truck.
 The cannon loaded, he awaited de- velopments. Early one morning he observed an unusual movement in the camp of his pretended friends, and soon, fully armed, with war-paint on, the savages made dash toward the fort. Cody was at his howitzer, match in hand. The painted devils crowded the long but narrow bridge, and just as the foremost reached the nearest bank he discharged his gun at clear range of the bridge. There was wild howl of disappointed rage, vision of dead Indians tumbling in the arroya, of legs, and arms, and heads lying around loose without claimants, and fleeing and frightened savages es- caping from the fatal bridge. COdy's single shot had saved his post, and he was always thereafter left in peaceful possession of his ranch. Just what struck them on the bridge the Indians never knew, and the survivors of the fatal charge always entertained the firm Gelief that Buffalo Bill" was in league with the evil spirit, and, as such, person to whom it was safe to give B wide berth. ~pepver News.

BLIND BUT HAPPY.
Touching Story of 8 Man and Wife Who
 Never Saw Each Other.

Never Saw Each Other.
 Every pleasant evening, in that hour just before twilight, which we all love to idle away with inconsequential thoughts and observations, there passes my window a couple that great ly interests me. The lady is but young girl, it seems, and she has such pretty face, so white and peaceful, with something of sadness in it, something of Joy.
 She has great eyes that stare strange ly at you, and, at the sound of her companions voice. their lids are dropped, and the long, graceful eye lashes fall upon her cheeks. The man reminds me of one of the old Saxons. He is big and strong, and has the curly golden hair and the big blonde beard of that race of men. His con- panion hangs on his arm, and yet he seems to depend upon her as much as she on him, for they cling very closely indeed together, while he care- fully picks their way out with light cane.
 Both are blind. I inquired about them the other day. Neither ever saw the light of day. Neither can ever know how glorious the sunlight is, how prettily blend the beautiful hues of the flowers, how grand all nature looks. Neither ever saw the other! and yet they are bridal pair.
 They only live in world of dark ness and in each other. They met long ago, became devotedly attached to each other and were married. And so now every evening when the weather is fine, they go out for a stroll, and as they slowly, carefully walk past my window 1 think-''it is sad and yet pretty sight-a blind bridal pair!"

PLUCKY YOUNG WRAY.
His Gallant Fight with Indians Against
 Overwhelming Odds.

His Gallant Fight with Indians Against
 Overwhelming Odds.
 Three days after the battle of White River, in which the gallant Thorn burgh lost his life, Freeman z. Wray, an eighteen-year-old boy who was in charge of cattle forty-fve miles north of White River Agency, was attacked by band of saVages. He contrived to get his rifle and to make so good de- fense, that they betook themselves to a ravine and besieged him at their leis- ure. After awhile he got out of ann munition and was forced to climb into a wagon to get 6 new supply.
 While he was executing this move ment bullet struck him in the calf of the leg, passing directly through. In an instant moro another ball caught him at the hip and knocked him down. With a whoop and yell the savages ran toward the spot, expecting to take their plucky foe prisoner But they were again foiled, for Wray was only down temporarily, and getting to his feet again scrambled into the wagon where lay his ammunition. He pulled a sack of flour in front of him and piled bag of beans on top of that and took hold of such other articles within reach as made for him barricade against the promised shower of balls.
 Rapidly cutting hole in the canvas wagon-cover, he saw the Indians ap- preaching. Leveling his rifle, he fired at the foremost of his pursuers, the ball taking effect. This threw the Indians into confusion, and they re- treated into the ravine. They threw hailstorm of bullets into the wagon, and one of these caught young Wray in the right eye, and lodged there. The Indians finally retreated. After protracted delay the boys wounds were dressed and the balls extracted, and after five months nursing he seemed to be entirely we'll, although he had lost the use of one eye. One of his wounds broke out afresh eighteen months after the fight, and caused his death. Cor. Philadelphia Press.

confused and helpless, were huddled the frightened occupants of one canoe, half-buried in the foam of the waves, now lashed in- to resistless fury. Erect at the wheel the tall form of Captain Webster, as he peered through the drift, seemed like some averaging Nemesis. A dreadful yell was heard even above the tempest; terror-stricken forms unable to withstand the shock, anticipated death by leaping into the foaming water. The great bow rose high in the air. There was loud crash, horrible grating sensation along the keel of the schooner, as, bending gunwale under before the full force of the squall, she swept triumph antly forward, solitary figure hang ing from her martingale, only to drop a moment later before the weapon of the Californian, while in her wake a few struggling forms alone denoted the spot where the would-be capturers of the Golden Gate had met their awful death. .ss
 When the squall lifted a few min utes later they were already far from land.
 The body of their dead comrade, ly- ing at the foot of the main-mast, alone remained a mute but awful witness to the desperate character of the conflict through which the crew of the Golden Gate had so lately passed. For many seasons Captain Webster piled between the port of Victoria and San Francisco, but never again was he disturbed by the Apponees, amongst whom, to the present day, he bears the name of the "White Avenger. ."-Austyn ".

KIND WORDS.

O, keep not back kind words, pray, From those who journey day by day With us along life's rugged way. They come with helpin time of need, And every one becomes a seed That grows into a helpful deed. You may not sec, may not know. The deeds 10 which our kind words grow; But they are never lost, know. Sometime and somewhere we shall find All kind words gathered, as men bind The wheat, and leave no sheaf behind. And from that storehouse of good deeds Grown from all kind words scattered seeds We each shall draw to suit our needs. They cost us little; grudge them not, But scatter them in every spot, And brighten with them many lot.

According to the investigations of two authorities in the agricultural de- partment and the health officer for Glouc cestershire, England, the notion that skim milk is poor sort of food is a great mistake. For children whole milk is better, but for adult poor peo- pie it is preferable to buy skim milk and devote the difference between it's price and that of whole milk to other foods, either in the form of cream or butter. The actual nutritive value of skim milk differs very little from that of whole milk, and it sells for hslt ths priea
