That night, the fierce empress naced

the tread of tigress; while Nero. her

He never woke again. When the sun
rose over the Apennines, it shone on a

young Roman prince, whose valentine
had wrought his doom. The waxen
tablet had been poisoned.

what Did Mother Eve Doe

What did Eve do for q nurse girl ?"
The question came toward the close
of conversation between two young
matrons concerning the training of chill
dren. One had been dilating on the
merits of book on that subject.
You ought to read it, she exclaimed
enthusiastically. at is full of thor
oughly practical ideas"
TELLS where the nursery should be
located, doesn't it?" inquired the
other.
40, yes. 1t says that the room OF
rooms set apart for the use of the child
should be near its mothers, 80 that it
can be constantly under her eye"
Near her boudoir, isn't it?"
Eyes; that's the way the book puts
it."
"And the child should be kept away
from the reception-room and parlors 2"
"Of course. Constant attention from
visitors will spoil any child"
Matron No. 2 reused herself and with
considerable show of interest asked:
"Does it tell how all this can be ar

"Well-no-o," replied Matron No. 1 !;

"Did you ever see a book that did ?"
"No; I can't say that I have"
Then a child can't be brought up
properly outside of large house?"
well, hardly that. Ofcourse, if one
can't have a nursery"
"If one can't, one can't follow the adj
vice given. The nurse girl, suppose,
must be Trustworthy, amiable, educated.
and fond of children.
30, yes; all of that. The book says
that wages should not be considered;
that the aim should be to get girl who
could gain the confidence of the child
and who would be competent not only
to carry out the instructions of the
mother but to fill in the details. You
see, the immediate care of the chill
dren is in the hands of the girl"
"And the mother trains the girl ?"
"Yes, that's about it.

THE TOUCH OF BABY HANDS.
pYw. D. LEsrER.

Our minister was grave to-day, his measured
tones we're low;
A something filed my heart the while, and sci
my soul agiow
And frequently unbidden tears welled up with.
inmy eyes.
While through my frame fosling thrilled akin
to glad surprise.
Was tt the touch OF unseen hands that wrought
my spirit so,
The tender touch Of baby's hands that left INC
long ago.
Our minister was sgd to-day, he spoke of His
great love,
Exchanging and Interchangeable, Who rules the
world above;
And while his words Of eloquence fell with q
measured beat.
Eethought heard along the aisles the tread OF
tiny feet.
Was it the echo of his step that set my heart
sglow,
Or did his blus eyes on me gaze2 Ali me, I do
not know.
Yet all day long and in the night listen for
the sound
OF baby feet TO come again, that rest beneath
the ground;
pray again for baby hands TO touch my fevered
cheek,
And baby voice within my cars tender love to
speak.
Msyhap some cay, when am hid from all the
world apart,
These baby hands viii come to me to soothe an
aching heart.

National Differences in Women.

A foreign writer has been at pains to
give category of the points of differ
ence between the typical women of the
three leading nationalities. 1t is not
recommended as ON infallible one, but
it certainly is Interesting: "a French
woman loves to the end of the honey
moon, the English woman her whole
life, the German woman forever. The
French woman takes her daughter to
the ball, the English woman takes her
to church, the German woman gives
her employment in the kitchen. The
French woman has spirit and imagina-
ton, the English waman has little
taste, the German woman modesty.
The French woman chats, the English
woman speaks, the German woman
renders decisions. The Spanish woman
kills her lover in jealousy. the French
woman her rival, the German woman
simply renounces; but all at some time
marry some one else,

Bill Vests Head

The remarkable career of old Tom
Starr, the notorious Cherokee desper-
ado, which has lately appeared in print,
recalls an incident in his life, the plain
est statement of which sounds like q
romance. Bill West was old Toms
brother-in-law, and the most powerful
man of his day IN the Cherokee Nation.
A blow from his fist was as deadly as
Winchester bullet. With this formid-
able weapon he killed several men, and
a law was passed declaring Bills fist
deadly weapon. Old Tom and Bill had
been close companions, but one day
they qusrrelled over the division of the
spoils of a plundering expedition. West
struck at Starr, but the willy savage
lodged the blow and at the same time
deity placed long, keen knife-b blade
between the formers ribs. This was
the tragic end of Bill West. At this
time there was a reward of $4,000 of
fered for Vests head and S., 900 for that
Starr. Old Tom was in need of ready
cash and determined to run the risk Of
losing his own head by trying to secure
the reward on that of his brother-in-
law. So, after killing West, he cut off
his head, put it in gunny-bag and pro-
ceeded to Tahlequah, the capital where
Ae presented his CORY charge to the
Chief, with the proof that it was the
right head, and demanded the reward.
The Chief and the Treasurer are both
old men, and they knew Old Toms rep
utation. They also knew that the re-
ward on Vests head was only $4,000,
while that for Old Toms was 5000.
But Starr was there himself, and meant
business. At the muzZe of q six-shooter
the Treasurer forked over the $2,O
and Old Tom departed with the money,
to the delight and astonishment of the
people of Tahlequah, without killing a
single person.

Blasts From the RAMS Horn.

SELEsHNEss is only another name fol
the spirit of murder.
Truth makes men gentle. Theory
makes them bigoted.
The most sublime thing that any man
can do, is to trust God.
If there wasn't any opposition, there
couldn't be any progress.
No MAN can lift men who does not
stand on the hand of God.
COPS quarrel has never been with
man, but with his great enemy.
No CANNON was ever made that is half
SO deadly as the wine glass.
AS SOON as you are willing for God
TO rule, the devil will leave you.
PERHAPS no greater wrong can be
done to any man than to misjudge him.
THERE is nothing that any man needs
80 much as he needs to know God.
A MAN is not made rich by what he
can get, but by what he can't loose.
The only way to make sure of
Heaven is to take long step toward it
now.
THE devil would rather put out his
eyes than look into looking glass.
THE meaner some men are, the more
angelic they want their wives to be.
The strongest man on earth is the
one who has the most complete trust in
God.
THE Bible is full of promises for the
man who is willing to say good-by to
sin.
THE highest crime we can commit
against God is to oppose our own souls
