shows it to be a fact that hot drinks re-

better and safer to avoid the free use OF
drinks below 60 degrees; in fact, a higher
temperature is to be preferred; and those
who are much troubled with thirst will
do well to try the advantages To be derived
from hot drinks instead of cold fluids to

drinks also have the advantage of aiding
digestion, instead of causing debility ofthe

way to treat Itching is to use cool, weak

THE pUPPY'S EDUCATION.

Said the Terrier to her Puppy, alt is high
time, my son,
Now you are three weeks Old. and you can
see, and bark, and run,
Though but a little, that your education was
begun.
"The first thing for dog to learn (pray try to
learn it righD
Must be 10 make your little teeth both sharp,
and strong, and white;
But this needs constant practice-bite, bite,
forever bitet'
The Puppy loved his mother, had docile
willing mind,
To bite both morning, noon, ana night, was
very well inclined;
He began upon his mistress dress, which
trailed some way behind
hour or more,
And made some fifty tiny holes, and iags about
a score,
She said. "This darling little dog is growing
quite bore,''
She scolded in gentle voice, and drove him
right away:
He thought this most delightful fun-a perfect
game OF play,
And only wished the game would last through
out the livelong day.
He bit the corners of the cloths, the cushions,
stools and chairs.
The edges of the carpets that were laid upon
the stairs;
And ill-beteI the book, or glove that fell down
unawares.
Sometimes he had the great good luck boot
or shoe to see;
Anon he scampered off with it. his heart quite
full of glee,
And gnawed it all to little shreds beneath the
cedartree.
One day his masters iust-washed linen, fresh
and snowy white,

delight

And then the buttons from the collar and the

for play.
But he felt sad and sulky, so he slumbered in
the hay.
SAID the Puppy to his mother. "w hen l had
first begun
To bite and was not bitten, thought it such
grea. fun
But now I'm sick OF education-when will it
be donc?''
The Terrier made answer in a calm and quiet
tone,
"Now that your teeth are grown sostrong you
can crunch any bone,
The next thing you must learn is to leave
other things alone.n
THAT is too hnrd! yes, much too hardn' saio

"Leave other things alone, indeed! l say it
with regret,
He may be tying to learn this, but he has not

THE GEMS BOY.

| The mon Of science, who spend much Of
their time in classifying the objects of the
natural world, are not the only people
who feel the need of a thorough classifica-
| tion in their most important affairs, Un-
| sympathetic knowledge is only kind of
half knowledge There is classification
everywhere, and boys, 1t seems, are
''classificationisis' in their way as well as
botanists and biologists.
You say" said Mr.. Brown to his son
Jack, 'that Mr.. Perkins has son in yonr
school. How old boy is hep"
''Oh, he's only young kid, papa >,
"a young kid! About how old is a
young kid'?'
"Bout six or seven"
What is boy after he is done being
young Kid now?"
sOh, then he gets to be kid -
tWhat after that?"
"Well, he's kid until he gets to be
about thirteen, and then he's young fel-
ler, il he's pretty big"
"None but good sized boys can be
yonng fellers, eh?"
No, sir. Then they stay being young
felers until they're about nineteen, and
then they're men,"
'1ndeed! But how do you class them
at the other end of the line? Are they
always young kids after they are ba-
bies?''
ooh no, sir. First they're cubs They
Cont get to be young kids until they get
out of dresses
But when, the father asked, growing
more and more curious, "@hen is boy
supposed to be Iad?"
',We don't have any lads now adays, sir.
We read about 'em in books, but We don't
have any. I've always wondered about
how old lad was"
"But you have boys, surely?'
"Oh yes, sir. They re all boys, of
course, until they get to be men. Only
these are the different kinds of boys"
Though the father was amused by this
classification, and thought that some Of
INC hauien were uol Iuitc elegant, ne WAS
compelled to admit that slang terms were
used in the same connection when he was
himself boy. He could remember how
intensely he disliked to be addressed rs
"Bub" by his elders, and he promptly re-
sentcd the application of that term 20 him.
self by any other boy He had heard boys
in those days called "brats, ''chits,"
''urchins, - "youngster, younkers," and
other such names. He never resented be-
ing called .'youngster, and could even
endure the word brat but to be called
"Bub'-especially when the person using
the word seemed to fancy that he was hon
oring him-was an indignity which he
found it hard to forget

HOW TO GET RID OF FLIES.

Flies-house flies, we mean-are great
pests in the broadest sense of that term,
and many ways have been devised to get
rid of them in kitchens, dining rooms and
bed chambers. Where it is possible, the
complete darkening Of the room, 18th the
exception of some small point ofegress, is
the most effeetual method Of getting rid
of them. Next to that is perfect cleanli-
ness.
No kitchen can be kept entirely free from
flies, but is is possible to lessen the num-
ber of them by keeping every paIt of it
free from attractions for them. 1t will
almost invariably be found that kitchens
where flies do most abound a.e those
where the cleanliness and care suggested
are more honored in the breach than in the
observance. Flies are scavengers. They
serve useful purpose in such kitchens,
but is no credit either to the cook or the
mistress that their presence for such a
purpose is needed
In this connection we are requested to
caution the public against man who has
been engaged for some time past in foist-
ing upon credulous folks what he calls
''the celebrated fly killer" If the state
ments of those who have tried it are to be
relied upon, it is fraud, as the flies, in
stead of being killed by it, are said to
feast and fatten on it.

1t is said that perseverance will over

in the right direction, and guided by
Judgment. But man may try all day to
unlock box, yet he will never succeed In
opening it if he has got the wrong key, no
matter how he perseveres in his efforts.
once had a cat which was the most per-
severing creature | ever knew. There was
a crevice between the boards of the kitch-
en- floor and the hearth, and the pussy
could not only hear the mice squeaking be-
low, but could see them; and there she
would patiently watch every moment she
could spare from eating and sleeping. The
mice were quite close to her, under the
boards, and sometimes there would be a
scutfle below, or little paw would be
thrust up through the crack; and then she
would make a tremendous spring, as
though she could plunge down on her prey
through the narrow creyiee- But her
patience and perseverance were useless.
She could not squeeze her fat body through
the opening, and the mice knew better
than to enlarge it and come up to her; so
whilst a few kept her attention engaged,
the rest were foraging in the pantry at
their leisure. That persevering cat never
caught any OF those mice.
