Kindness to the Helpless.

Kindness to the Helpless.
"Don't do that, George" said his
mother, looking up from her washtub
with a troubled face.
"Do what, mother?"
"Don't torment that gopher"
"Ho! What hurt does it do?"
cit hurts it and it hurts me, too.
1t ought to hurt you to give pain to
such poor little helpless thing"
George laughed as he gave another
jerk to string which was tied in a
slip knot around the neck of a ground
squirrel.
"Why, mother, these things are
regular pests and ought to be killed,
every one of them. If | let them
live and increase we shouldn't have a
thing left IN the garden"
''Perhaps so. 1t is not wrong to
kill anything that does mischief. But
1t is cruel and wicked to give them
any more pain than can be helped"
George stopped down and loosened
the string around the gopher's neck
just enough to keep the little creature
from choking and thus ending its
misery, as he went on.
"Tm bound to clean out that
gopher hole back in the brush lot.
It's ever so much fun to set a snare
for 'em. You came to get smell of
fresh air, didn't you, my hearty?
And to nibble away at the beets and
turnips, hey? And the first thing you
knew you ran your nose into my
snare, and found yourself whipped
up-so-"
Another jerk swung the gopher as
high as Georges head, and his mother
turned angrily from her work.
"George, make an end of that poor
little thing at once.
He always obeyed when she spoke
like that. The gopher was mercifully
set free from suffering, after which
George set another trap and left it to
take care of itself, while he emptied
the wash water for his mother.
eff l only get place to work, you
wouldn't have to work so hard, moth
err" he said, in a softer voice than
one would have thought him capable
of. He looked plying at her face,
for few moments rest.
"No, my boy, I'm sure you'd help
me all you could"
"Yes | would. Get out of the way
there, l say!"
He picked up a stone and flung it
at the head of poor old COW as she
tried to reach few green leaves
which hung over the garden fence.
"Jim Blake told me-" said George,
sitting down by his mother for a mo-
ment, "that Mr.. RusselPs been look
ing for boy to help take care of his
horses"
"That would be good thing for
you" said his mother, eagerly,

everything so nice and handy about
it. And Mr.. RusselPs easy on his
hired folks, they say"
"And it's so near that you could
be home nights"
Eyes, | believe I'll 60 up town now
and find Jim Blake, and ask if he
won't speak to Mr.. Russell for me.
Jim knows | can do stable work we'll. "
George strayed up the village street
keeping his quick eye on the alert for
any odd bit of work which might fall
in his way.
A gentleman rode up to the doctors
office and George walked toward him
a. 'ooked for some one to hold his
! orse.
"My horse is pretty warm and /
don't like TO tie him." said the gen
tleman. "Can you walk him about
for a few minutes?'
George willingly took the bride
and walked up and down the block,
greatly admiring the horse and his
equipments.
"This is the kind of horse I'm
going to have when Pm a man." he
said. big and plump and plucky,
and a fine fellow to 60, if l know the
look of horse. My, what a fine
saddle that is Must "a cost a lot O.
money. This horse is every bit as
handsome as Mr.. RusselPs span O.
grays. Or handsomer-yes," cycling
the horse critically. II always did
like sorrels better than grays because
you can shine 'em up SO. You never
can get real good shine on a gray.
Get out there" m
A large dog in running across the
street came very near The spirited
horse, which reared little with
sudden start backwards. George
gave the dog violent kick, sending
the poor animal down the street
bowling with pain. The next mo-
ment he jerked cruelty once or twice
upon the bit, crying impatlently:
keep still there, will you? You
don't think I'm going to prance all
over the street to hold you, do you?"
The owner of the horse came out
and released George with a fair pay
ment for his trouble. He went on
and saw jim Blake, who promised
that he would do all he could to in
duce Mr.. Russell to hire him.
George was returning from his
gopher trap the next morning, when
he heard a call from his mother. As
he came around a shed in the front
yard she met him.
"Mr. Russell is here asking for
you, sne salu, In a tone OF great In
terest. "He says he's been spoken
to about you, and wants to talk to
you about his stable work. do be-
lieve he means to hire YOU"
George was just coming into sight
of a gentleman who stood at the door
OF the house, and he flung gasping,
half-dead gopher into the bushes as
he took off his hat and came near.
Mr.. Russell turned a pleasant face
towards her, but as George advanced
he looked keenly at him, and hesitated
a moment before speaking.

One afternoon, about six months ago,
my brother Pete got hurt in our saw

l1Eaes Darnet Discovered China Clay IN
France While Washing.
The history OF French porcelain. as
1t Is called in France, and china. as 81
is known in the United States. is very
interesting. The finding of the kaolfu
or china clay is due to a woman. She
was the wife of a country doctor. NJ.
barnet by name, living In very modsr-
ate circumstances in the little town Of
St. Yrieix, Department. OF Haute Vi
enne, France, Nine. Darnet, accord
ing to French custom, took some
clothes that she intended to wash down
to the bank of a little stream. The
earth where she placed the garments
was very white, but recent rains had
made the white chalky substance quite
soft. She found, in washing the gar
ments next the ground, that some Of
the earth adhered to the clothes, and
IN washing it off she found that it was
almost as good as soap and greatly
facilitated the removal of all kinds of
dirt. OverjOyed with her discovery,
she fastened to inform her husband
that she had found assOap mine. The
doctor was very. good chemist, and
after a careful analysis of the earth
pronounced the one word that France
was longing to hear-kaolin. He
straightway charged his wife to guard
her secret and sought to buy the land.
But the discovery leaked out and real
estate rose enormously in that vicinity,
and it is doubtful whether Nine Oar
net was rewarded for her wonderful
find.
This event occurred somewhere
about the year 1850, about the same
time the royal porcelain factory was
removed from st, Cloud to LiYres,
where it has since remained, and the
st. Yrieix kaolin took the place of the
clay brought from China, England
began to be established at Paris,
Limoges and Bordeaux. Among the
different manufacturers was Jean
POuyat, who first began at Paris, but
finding the transport of clay very costly
water communication was. impOs-
sible and the railroads were unknown
he removed his factory to Limoges,
a city not far from the mine, and es-
tRblished there. a factory which has
stood for more than q century and q
quarter. MOnarchies, revolutions, die
tatOrships, cOmmunes, empires, and
republics have come and gone, but
through all of the political vicissitudes
experienced by the country the house
of Pouyat has stood, and still stands,
a wonder among the landmarks in the
history not only of china manufacture
but of France herself. The head of
this house to-day is NJ. Emile Pouyat.

Mary and Her Little Lamb.

Is there a boy or girl in all this broad
country who has not heard Of Mary and
her little lamb? The one, you know,
who followed her to school one day,
and made the children laugh. OF course
everybody knows about the little crea-
ture, and perhaps has sighed to think
that it went the way Of all mutton
years and years ago.
Perhaps the great majority Of read
ers, when they grew up to be men and
women, came to the conclusion that
Mary and her lamb were both fctiOns,
as much as the old woman who lived in
a shoe, or Cinderella; but, strange to
say, there was Mary, and also a lamb,
and the wOrId-famOus ditty was found
ed on fact. The author was Sarah J.
Hale, who died in Philadelphia, some
years ago, at the age of eighty-siX. The
lamb, as previously remarked, must
have died long ago, and on December,
10, 1889, the heroine of the poem
breathed her last.
Her name was Mary F. Sawyer. She
was born in Sterling, Mass, in 1906,
and in that town the famous lamb cpl
sode is said to have occurred
1t does not appear that Mary other
wise distinguished herself than IN own
ing the lamb, but the poem gives US
the assurance that she was a kind
hearted girl. and In that respect she
maintained her reputation until the day
of her death.
Her married name was Tyler, and as
Aunt Mary Tyler she was known by
everybody and esteemed by all
Thus the famous trio disappear from
the earth, Mary and her lamb and the
woman who made them both renowned
The poem itself is one OF those imper-
ishabIe things like the @Iiad, which
generations yet to come viii read with
undiminished pleasure. There is no
use specializing as to the cause of its
popuIarity-it has come to stay

Effects Of Oufnine.

Says an eminent professor Of sur
gerry who has given the subject OF
drugs and narcotics considerable atten-
ton: There are many. cases on record
where the use of quinine has caused a
disarrangement Of the mental powers,
and to such an extent that the sufferer
did not know what he or she was about.
Instances are not few where patients
who were given large doses Of the
drug became deliriOus. These symp-
toms. however, passed away when the
use of quinine was discontinued. It
is possible, while under its influence,
for one to act as irPespOnsIbIy as when
in liquor. That quinine affects the
brain is evident from the fact that an
overdose viii cause severe buzzing in
the ears and often temporary deafness.
Physicians cannot be too careful in
prescribing quinine, for what is one
mans meat IS another mans poison.
[ have known one grain to have more
effect on some patients than fifteen
grains on others. The same can be
said Of morphine. Two grains Of this
drug viii cause many intense itching
sensations. with parched tongue and
throat On the other hand, I have
known patients, even those unused to
morphine, to take much larger doses
without showing any evil effects.
There is little doubt but there are
quinine habitUes as we'll as slaves to
choral, morphine and other narcotics
and drugs; yet It's use as a stimuIant
has not become general.
