Across the street from Elsie's home lives
family with whom her father and mother
do not care to associate, nor do they wish
their little girl to play with the small boy
over there.
One morning Elsie CHANGED TO overhear
her parents lamenting the goddess state of
this family, and her little soul was filed
with pity and dismhy Running out 10
the front gate, the little missionary called
out, with sweet entreaty, to the benighted
little neighbor across the way: "Oh, poor
little boy, come over TO our house and SO
to heaven with usr'-New York Tribune.

Punishment ACCENTED.

The Rev. William Dow, a good man and
an able minister, having adopted certain
doctrinal opinions which were thought to
be heretical, was called to stand his trial
before the general assembly of the Estab-
lished church of Scotland. Being sure that
he would be deposed from the ministry, he
thus addressed his country congregation
on the Sunday before he went to his trial,
"You all know that tomorrow leave
this place to go to Edinburgh, and to stand
my trial before the general assembly. The
result | know will be that shall be turned
out of my parish, and that this is the last
time shall address you as your minister
This you all know.
But there is one thing about myself
which you do not know, but which will
tell you. When / first came here to be
your minister found difficulty in obtain
ing a house to live in. There was but one
house in the parish could have that was
suitable, and that was inhabited by poor
widow
II went and offered higher rent for her
house than she paid She was dispos.
sessed, and got the house. put that poor
woman out Of her house then, and hold il
to be righteous thing in God to put me
out of my parish now"
That minister may have been "heretic."
but he was a Christian with the manlinesJ
to confess his sin and take his punishment
without whining.-Youth's Companion

A White ROBBED King,

At the time of the coronation of Charles
/, Of England, the red and purple robes for
such occasions were usually made of Geno-
csc velvet. But. according to De Quincy,
"by some oversight, all the store in Lon
don was insufficient to furnish the purple
velvet necessary for the robes of the king
and for the furniture of the throne. 1t
was too late to send to Genoa for a supply,
and through this accidental deficiency it
happened that the king was attired in
white velvet at the solemnity of the coro-
nation and not in red or purple robes, as
consistent with the proper usage"
The forebodings of the misfortunes of
this white king" according to the proph-
ecy of Merlin, were supposed to have had
their fulflllment in this case, white being
the ancieut color for a victim, a curious
coincidence being noticeable in the fact
that his pail was white with snow which
fell on it as a sheet when he was carried to
the grave. DRY Goods Chronicle

Robt. e. Lee.

The Washington Post, in a very
conservative and sensible editorial
on the unwilling of the Lee monu-
ment by the Southern people who
hold his memory in reverent and af-
fectionate admiration because he was
a gentleman and a soldier in the
highest sense of both terms, says:
Pitiful indeed would be the specta-
Gle were the South so forgetful of her
distinguished soldiers as not to cele-
brate their virtues and keep. their
memories green. Then indeed were
her honesty to be questioned and
her self confessed humiliation to be
despised, and the value of her citi-
zenship to be discounted. The South
is simply doing what any other peo-
pie of ordinary pride in themselves
would do under similar circum-
stances.
So let the statute be unveiled in all
its majestic proportions, midst music,
oratory, and heroic ode. 1t will not
shame the sunlight. 1t will not en-
danger the liberties of the people. 1t
will cause no patriot to draw bated
breath. 1t will shock nc, manly SEN
sibility. 1t will simply show that
the South retains a grateful appreci-
alton of her noblest son and COM
mends his name to the muse of his
tory as worthy of exalted perpetual
ton.

Books read in the Farm House,

A fair idea of what books the people. of
New England most read and most delight
in is afforded by a test made by The Spring
field Homestead, an agricultural journal
widely circulated in New England country
towns. 1t requested its readers to send in
list of what they considered the ten
best" books, and a large number of re
plies were received. The different books
voted for amounted to over thousand.
There were 146 different books receiving
one vote apiece. The ten books which were
on the greatest number of lists were as fol
lows: "Ben Hur," by Gen. Wallace; IRA
mona" by Helen Hunt Jackson; David
Copperfield," by Charles Dickens; "Ivan-

Walking stick p1antntions.

Walking sticks are, to great extent, i'm
ported into England from abroad. The
number received from other countries
reaches nearly 100000 annually, with a
combined value of about eos, 600,
Commoner sticks, as those of beech, ash,
thorn and hazel, are, to a great extent,
grown in this country. In Worcestershire,
for instance, many acres are devoted to no
other purpose than the raising of wood
for the walking stick market.
A peculiar branch of this business is the
importation of overgrown cabbage stalks
from the Channel Islands, where cabbages
are regularly trained with view to being
transformed into walking sticks by pro
cess of stripping off each leaf as it appears,
and finally drying and hardening the stems

psrp M rug WOODS.

Deep 10 the woods some drowsy summer day
Have you not heard the fauns and dryads pass
Their steaIthy footsteps echo on the grass
AS stretched upon the moss you idly lay
Deep in the woota?
And through the dim, far SPREADING forest aisles
Have you not heard mysterious whispers faint;
Has there not stole TO you nymphs complaint,
Or burst of elfsh laughter ringing miles
Deep In the woodsY
The world forgetting with its cares and scorns
And dreaming there Of brownie, sprite or fay,
Have you not caught their glancing forms al
play,
And heard the winding Of their sylvan horns
Deep In the woodsY
Ali tell me not the woods deserted be,
That elves aud fairies, dryads fauns are fed;
For oft beside my velvet messy bed
They come, a sportive troop, to visit me
Deep in the woods,
And peeping meath some overhanging limb
SEQ the face Of Puck-that knavtsh elf;
And oft the pipes OF great god Pan himself
hear resound through leafy arches dim
Deep in the woods.

An illustration of strange fact is found
in the experience with the jamestown,

one of her trips yellow fever appeared on
board and several deaths followed. Subse-
qucntly the vessel was thoroughly reno
waited and extensively repaired Her wood
work was steamed. Then she remained in
northern harbors for several winters. She
was finally ordered south again, and be
fore she reached the fever district a case
was developed and the patient died. Above
his hammock was found a quantity of
filth. The woodwork was torn out and
the filth removed But she Is still fever

Some odd Ideas of Crime.

Did you ever stop to think of the absurd
ity of this thing we call crime against
society" Some one breaks into your
house, steals your money, the savings of
years, and leaves You helpless. Or some
one gets you to indorse his note, leaves you
to pay it, and ruins you financially. This
is called an offense against society, the man
is dangerous and must be punished and re-
strained. He is sent to prison for twenty
years-so rs to give him ample time to re-
pent-set to work, and the proceeds of his
labor taken by society. Where are you?
You are really the one against whom the
offense was committed-you are the only
sufferer. Why, then, not let the earnings
of his labor go TO reimburse you?-Kansas

President Harrison's friends are
now denying that Harrison ever said
Quay would have to 60. The fact is
the Republican party has no other
man suited to head the Executive
committee for the dirty work neces-
sary to its success. Quay has the
brazen audacity for anything, and
the corruptionists are bound to re-
tain him. Quay is too heavily
loaded to be kicked out; he might
fire and hurt somebody.

Here are the five fundamental principles
Of sound sleep:
Let the evening meal be simple nothing
better than a diet of bread and milk
Take smart walk of say one or more
miles before retiring, unless you have been
exercising in the open air during the after
noon. The colder the atmosphere the bet
ter.
Absolute Punishment from the mind of
all topics of business. Innocent and child
like amusements with children are most
beneficial
Il most cases bunch of fresh lettuce be-
fore retiring has narcotic effect.
Cultivate steady, full, well drawn way
of breathing, which always induces sleep.
