There is good story told of the eco
Domical qualities oftwo we'll known and
wealthy gentlemen living in the east
part of the town, that is good lesson
Tor those recklessly extravagant per-
sons who are not possessed with the
true spirit Of economy. On a certain
night one of these gentlemen called on
the other to transact little business at
the formers residence. The host light

some papers, but Immediately blew it
out again when they were through,
leaving both sitting in the dark.
why did you blow out the candle? '
asked the caller.
''Oh, we can talk in the dark as well
as in the light, ard it saves the CANDLE"
was the reply.
They continued their conversation
for a short time, when the host heard
some mysterious sounds coming from
the direction OF the callers chair. and
inquired what his friend was doing.
Why" said his friend, Its dark in

Are We Losing Our Snowy Winters ?
From the Providence journal.


The winter last year was a mild one
all over the country. This year reports
from all over the world seem to indl-
cate that the mildness of the season is
general. In Northern Russia, for in
stance, the ground. which Is usually at
this season OF the year covered with
three or four feet of snow, is entirely
bare, though the temperature is as low
as ever before. The fact is creating, it
is said, uneasiness in the agricultural
districts, because Of the effect on the
winter crop of cereals. In Ohio dande-
lions are blooming, the naples are bud
ding, and the lilacs are putting out their
leaves. From other Of the more no rth-
of similar nature have been received.
Is the earth for any reason being SUBJ
jected to greater amount of heat, and
if so, what are the reasons? 1t is en-
tirely consonant with the history of the
earth to suppose that great change is
going on, for the earth's climate has
undergone many great vicissitudes dur
ing geological history. For example, q
warm and genial temperature has once
prevailed in Arctic latltudes, while at
another time snow and ice extended
far down into the heart of Europe. In
deed, it is settled fact in geological
science that the glacial period shaded
without any abrupt change of any kind
into what is known as the human or re-
cent period. 1t has been a question
whether man was coeval with the ice age
but it is certainly true that the tempera-
ture of the earth from this period stead

should find that the shading from a

Death in the Cabs Little Stove.
Paris Corr. New York TribuI

Paris Corr New York Tribune
A startling discovery has been made
by committee of physicians recently
appointed by the Health Department to
look into the sanitation of the cab sys-
tenn Of Paris, as to the condition of sta
bles, vehicles, etc. A great number of
the facres have during the winter little
signs nailed on their doors stating,
This cab is heated The heating APP
partus is a small warming-p pan arrange
ment placed In the straw On the floor,
and filled with two "briquettes" of burn
ing charcoal. For some time quite a
number OF mysterious deaths have oc-
Cured in these cabs, and the cause has
been usually supposed to be heart dis
ease or apoplexy. On investigation it
has been found that the fumes from
these warmers are heavily charged with
the most deadly gases, and that half
hour spent in a close atmosphere with
this apparatus is sufficient to cause
death. A cabman last week gave this
committee of physicians practical IL
lustration of this new danger, which
has proved of immense value in the
preparation of the report of the health
department. This coachman, feeling
cold and desiring nap, told the starter
at his stand to call him when customer
made his appearance. He entered the
vehicle. closed the door carefully after
him, settling himself on the seat in or
der to getiorty comfortable warm winks.
In about twenty minutes the starter
opened the door again to notify the

Give Them Time.

From the Youths Companion.
'Old Forbes" as the nelghbors called
him, was PENNSYLVANIA farmer of the
old type, correct in his morals, bigoted
in religion, shrewd in business, and
stubborn as iron in his prejudlces. He
had three sons of different character
from himself, each of whom, as he
passed out of childhood, became vicious,
deceltful and ungovernable.
Their father at last brought his
troubles to the minister. 81 have done
my duty" he said. 81 have never
neglected to punish them when thew
did not walk in the right way"
But did 1t ever occur to you," said
sheep is not the right way for lamb?
You expect from boys of ID the wisdom
Of 30, and punish them when they fall
short. Why are not these peaches in
bearing, Brother Forbes?" he asked,
abruptly.
"They were only planted last year."
said the farmer, nettled at the question.
"You must give them time"
Yes, and give your human plants
time" said the old clergyman as he left
him without another word.
Farmer Forbes, after much thought,
determined to hand the boys over to
their mother awhile"
The experiment was successful. The
mother had patience, as well as high
aims. Her sons in the end fulfilled
both her hopes and her prayers
There are few families now to be
found, even in Puritan New England or
Presbyterian Pennsylvania, in which
the iron rod holds sway as it did fifty
years ago. Children are suffered to
grow up without the savage pruning and
wrenching OF character once too com
mon, but they are often subjected
to an unnatural mental strain almost as
hurtful. A boy of average ability is put
into class Of lads who have nimbler
brains than he, and-what he lacks-the
ease Of habit in study. He is urged to
take the prize from John or to equal
William in marks, as though he would
be ruined for life if these boys pass
into higher class while he is left be-
hind.
IN the best schools of the country the
mind of each pupil is developed or
stimulated to healthy growth, as a
plant is nourished in the garden, with
out reference to other plants.
The wise father knows, too, that it is
not necessary to use the pruning-kni e
continually. There are faults of child
hood which disappear with that age, as
the vigorous tree easily throws off the
false shoots that clog.ed its growth as
SaDlinp.

He Was Seeking knowledge.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
"Auntie, did the angels carry Mrs.
Jones up to heaven?"
why, Charley, think so. Mrs.
Jones was good woman"
"She was an awfully lat woman. The
angels must be strong"
Passengers in the train from Wood
lawn turned 10 look at the 6-year-old
boy who was bent on getting informa-
ton. He was a manly little fellow, with
bright, pretty face, end showed intelli
gence beyond his years. His young
aunt seemed to be anxious to stop the
How of questions, but he was bound to
know something more about angels then
and there.
Glow do you know there are angels,
auntie ?'
Because we read about them. Wait
until you can read, and then you will
know more about Them"
but why-why don't we see the
angels? Did you ever see an angelo"
Hush Don't talk so loud. Charlie
Of course we don't see them, but we see
their pictures. Don't you remember
the angels IN that pretty book that
Uncle John sent you ?''
"Yes, but-but where do the angels
get their pictures taken, Auntie? Is
there gallery where they take pictures
of angels-oniy just of angels ?"
Perhaps so, don't know"
Then why don't the angels put on
more clothes when they have their pic
lures taken ?"
20, Charlie Please be quiet. You
will make auntie's headache"
Charlie meditated In silence for q few
minutes, and remarked: 81 don't
know why Mr.. Brown said you were

'Williamsbridge!" shouted the brake
man, and as the train came to a stand
still the small boy got a shaking and
whispered warning that stopped all
further talk about angels.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.
Tares and Wheat.

Standing together side by side,
Tares and wheat in the Masters field,
Each with its blade of shivering green
Each with the grain in it's silken shield.
The wheat was sowed by the Masters hand
The seed was good and sowed with care,
But while men slept in the summer night,
An enemy came and scattered tares.
Side by side in the cheerful sun,
Each refreshed by the soft ming shower
Alike they wave in the balmy breeze,
And bend their heads in the evening hour
Waiting together till harvest time,
Tares and wheat in the Masters field,
The reaper comes with his sickle KEEN
And each to his shining blade must yield
"Cast forth the tares in the fire to burn
But saith the Master in accents sweet,
"Into my barns with thanksgiving and joy,
Gather my beautiful, golden wheat
All, thus in our Masters harvest field
The tares and wheat grow side by side
He sendeth His sun, He sendeth His rain,
Blessings He scattereth far and wide
o patient soul, in the harvest field,
Wait, oh, wait, It'll the Master GOMEZ
He knoweth his wheat from the enemy's tares
His own will he bear to his harvest home.

people seem to think that nothing is
necessary but to get the tools, and the
needful skill will come with them. The
absurdltles written about the farm
workshop would not merit notice were
they not likely to lead us too far in the
other direction. It is not good policy to
60 to the blacksmith every time a
piece Of iron is to be mend
ed, or to the carpenter to
make us bench. The charges
of the carpenter or blacksmith are of
less importance than the less of time.
Every farmer who owns a large farm
should have at least one farm black
smith outfit. The farmer may not find
it profitable to sharpen the plows.
but he should be able TO weld or
mend chains, shanks OF forks or hoes,
whiffietree clips, clevices, etc., etc. He
ought also to be able to make rings
links, hooks, and pins. The necessary
tools cost little, and the skill necessary
to such simple work is soon gained.
''In wood many simple jobs of re-
pairing are easily done. 1t is by no
means certain that the farmer should
not GO farther in woodworking. Han
dies for axes, forks, rakes, etc., whiff1e-
trees, and similar articles can probably
De bought more cneaply than the
farmer can make them for; but general
ly he can make better than he can
buy. He can select the choicest timber
and season it properly. It is a good
practice to save the toughest, best
pieces, when splitting out rails
or posts. With an assortment of
copper rivets, some avis, thread
and wax, any strap about the har-
ness can be joined. This much
leather working is always profitable.
If the farmer will give the tools to the
boys the sense of propriety will stimu-
late them to practice using them. One
boy may have the carpenter tools, an
other the blacksmith tools, etc. If the
boys choose to use their tools on rainy
days, when otherwise they might rest,
all right; but don't compel them to.
Making this extra work of course rem
ders it distasteful. The hint 80 fire.
quently seen that with tools the boys
can make or mend when they cannot
do farm work, is altogether bad. If
made use of, it will defeat your purpose
every time"

American and German Universities
From the American Magazine.

From the American Magazine.
The average age OK the American COL
lege student at graduation is certainly
not greater than that OF the German
student in leaving his university. Tie
American student is, however, not only
better educated man, in the best
sense Of the word, than the German
student at corresponding age, but the
average American college graduate,
who has not yet entered upon any
professional study whatever. either
in law, medicine, theology or
science, but has spent three years at an
academy of the grade of Andover, Exc
ter, or Easthamp ton, and four years at
any of the leading colleges of New En-
gland, is, bv any fair test to be instituted
by committee of British or European
educational experts, better educated
man than the average German student
who has completed both his gymnasium
and his university studies.

How to Treat a Horse.

Humane Educator: Never ride a
horse without first making his acquaint-
ance and securing his good will. Go to
his head, speak kindly, pat him, look in
his eye. Whether you are q friend or
foe he will judge by your voice, your
eye, and your breath. Horses judge a
man just as quick as man does a
horse. Feed and water abundantly at
night after work and the animal has had
Parthians and Arabs prepare their
horses TOR hard drives by tasting. More
horses are injured by hard driving on a
full stomach than by any other process.
Never let horse eat or drink much
when he is hot from overwork. Study
your horse, treat him according to his
nature, make him your friend, and he
will do better and safer work.
