Beecher's Engagement Ring.

One day Mr. Beecher walked from
Amherst to Battleboro, VT, TO give n
temperance lecture-his first public adj
dress. After speaking, he walked back
the entire journey, using the money
sent TO take him there and back for
books-only reseTving enough TO buy a
simple gold ring. The ring, worn out
by hard labor while at the west, and
mended time and time again--the
mending paid for 10y sewing ut night
while others slept-was, when we came
to Brooklyn. so thin it could only be
mended by lining, was worn long after
that until, after a quarter of cen
tury's use, it could be no longer re-
paired. Today it rests close to me as
write-sacredly kept as the result of
Henry Ward Beecher's first earnings by
public speaking at the age of seven
teeni
once heard a young lady say, show
ing her engagement ring: '"Therel 1
always said l would never be engaged
if could not have diamond ring"
And then thought of the DID, worn
ring, so carefully treasured, which, half
a century ago, cost eighty-tive cents,
and questioned if there was on earth a
ring more precious. Mrs. Henry Ward

1t has been frequently asserted that
a prolific cause of badness among men
is their habit of wearing hats in their
offices and other places of business.
Lately some one has added to this in
dictment their other habit of constant
and close cutting of the hair. 1t is
with the first of these charged evils that
women have to do Hairdressers are
beginning to attribute the thinness and
falling out of wOmen'S hair which is
according to the hairdressers on the in
crease, to the fashion of continuous
hat wearing. Many women, club
women, fashionable women, charitable
women, wear their bonnets hours at a
time, and for days together Shop
ping women are bOnneted often from
8 to 6; indeed, in these days of inexor-
able distances there is hardly any class
of the sisterhood which does not pass
much time with covered heads.
A suggestion of d fashion writer that
women shopping and going to theaters
might wear a soft felt hat, to be
checked at the door or stuffed in the
pocket of an escort, is pertinent, and
would be an excellent one to carry out.
1t is certainly wise woman who will
choose for all ordinary wear a light
bonnet or hat, leaving the heavy jet
and steel creations and overloaded
articles for only occasional use or other
women.-New York Times.

Recovering Silver Money.

a few days ago an old colored man
from across the Potomac in Virginia
brought to the treasury an extraordi-
nary looking lump of metal. He said
that it was a lot of silver dollars, halves
and quarters, which he had put in a tin
can some years back and hidden in the
stone wall of a barn by removing a
stone and plastering up the orifice.
When recently he took out the box he
found that trickling water had rusted it
almost away, covering the coins with
oxide of iron and sticking them together
in a mass Assistant Treasurer Whelp-
ley had the lump put into acid and
treated with lye and sawdust, so that
the silver pieces came out as pretty and
bright as when they were minted, and
the old man carried them away de-
lighted. Washington Letter.

Food for Very Young Children.

While a child between one and half
and two years old must generally be
fed five or six times a day, between the
second and third year no more than
five meals will be needed, and, as a
rule, four will be quite sufficient. After
its second year a greater variety of
foods may be given, but all which are
not easy of digestion must be religiously
excluded from it's diet. Until two and
a half years old its meat should be in
variably crushed into paste. From
this time until it is three and a half
years old roast turkey and chicken may
be allowed, but these foods, as well as
beef and mutton, must be minced fine,
for digestive disturbances are liable to
occur if this is neglected. Boston
