The saleSwoman became interested at

10 the girls and said. How much money

the elephants are the biggest things in the

able explanation of the fact that this ele-

receive the largest measure OF admiration
and peanuts Even the lions, leering with

HOW 1T SEEMS TO NORA.

Perhaps Nora never complains of any of
this to herself or to another, but takes it
for granted, and submits to it as the galley
slave 20 his bali and chain, as something
inevitable, belonging to the condition of
things and wasting TO the vital economy
to kick against. But, all the same, it can
but wear upon her. IL sufficiently tasks
her capacity to work for the daily family
needs the year round; this extra wear and
tear, the desire to please, the fear of fall
ing short, the labor of finer or more cook
ing, of more dish washing, laundrying, all
together, bring new strain that calls up
all her reserve of physical strength, and
unless she is of a very contented and unre-
sisting nature all her nervous strength as
well; and it is safe to say that if she is of
the unresisting sort she has not the vigor
or energy 10 be valuable in her place.
If we gave this patient Nora a commis-
Grating or an encouraging word now and
then-if we said, not in so many words
perhaps, that she had all the fuss and we
had all the fun, intimating at any rate
an appreciation of that fact, would the
family therefore 20 to pieces, as Mr.. Bag

Would Nora at once become so topping
that nothing could be done with her? Or
would she feel her heart warm with the
sense of appreciation, the touch of SYM

better? II seems as if every one in the
house should find this an experiment worth
trying.
Undoubtedly this kind word is frequently
spoken in many households, and the maid

PLANNING FOR NORA.
A PLEA FOR CONSIDERATION FOR
THE ovERWoRKeD GIRL.

Would She Not Do Her Work Better IL
She Was Given n Holiday Occasionally?
Her Lot Compared with That OF Her
EmpIoyers-It Is Economy.
There is many house where all summer
long gayety goes on company arrives, ex-
cursions are planned and carried out,
merrymskings are held, and every one is
tired out with pleasure. and it crosses no
ones mind that there is some one else who
Is tired out, and that not with pleasure,
but with work; not with excitement and
variety, but with the perpetual nervous
strain of routine and monotony. This per-
son has had none of the comfort or delight
of fresh companionshipt that arriving guests
have given to the rest of the household.
none of the gay lightheartedness which
comes with company for whom work and
cares are put aside for the time being; she
has joined none of the excursions of course;
she has had none of the merriment Of the
merrymakings; her only share of the fes-
tivity has been in the preparation of its
viands and the clearing Up of its debris.
The others may have cake; she has
crumbs The bubble of the foam has all
fallen before the draught of pleasure
reaches her lips; in fact it never reaches
her lips at all She is not thought of in
relation 10 it. AL that she has to do with
It is to receive her pay for work that
makes it possible-she, the dea ex machina.
With all this no one dreams that this in
strument of the household pleasure, this
kitchen girl, is being treated unkindly or
harshly, or is being overburdened with
labor. She is well housed, well fed, gently
addressed, regularly paid, somewhat con-
sidered; what more could be expectedy
We-nous autres-must have our garden
parties, our sailing parties, our picnics;
she must make ready for them-thatis her
part of it all. For what else do we pay

CABOT.
Death of Mrs. Clara G. Morse.

Mrs. Clara G. Morse, widow of the
late Jesse Morse, died in Cabot, Sat
urday morning, April 5, aged &c.
She had been sufferer from con-
sumption for many years and had
been confined to her bed more than
1 months. The cheerful, sunny face
which she wore all through her sick
ness was an inspiration to all who
saw her. Always full of courage her
self, she allowed no one to become
despondent if her hopeful words
could cheer them.
The following brief extract from
the remarks of her pastor at her
funeral may not be out of place:
Gentle, yet capable of an enthusi
asm which makes Christ real, and
lifts the soul into his light. Jesus can
make dying bed feel soft as downy
pillows are, but only for those who
accept the faith in great simplicity.
stretching nearly through the year,
no doubt wrought much of this
preparation. Patience has had its
perfect work. Years ago, | am told,
once and again she came to the bOr
der, but was not suffered to pass
over. In this last sickness she has
been living on the border between
the worlds for so long a time, look
ing over into the promised land.
The precious promises, accepted in
all their reality and fullness, sustain
ed her and kept her with cheerful
heart. Gently borne in the everlast-
ing arms, Jesus was her King forever.
The last employment of her tongue
was praise, fitting, too, for the en-
trance upon eternal praise. Just a
little anticipating the angels Easter
