From the dailies of this city we learn
of the prospective formation of a So
ciety for the prevention of cruelty to
animal. There is a crying demand
for such All organization whose mem
bers sh ould be impartial, prompt and
fearless in the rescue and relief OF
dumb animals from the "tender mer-
cies Of the wicked" Often during
past years has the CHRISTIAN NEIGH
BoR uttered no uncertain sound
against cruelty to animals. 1t is
hoped most earnestly that the pro-
posed Society will be formed and that
when formed the members will act.
Let the cruel teamsters or owners
thememselves be made to feel for
their neglect and cruelty.

The great element of danger with
woman's progress before the public
lies in this fact; that it takes women
away from home who ought to be
there and nowhere else. The public
platform is no place for a mother who
has either sons or daughters to edu.
cate. If woman's progress is going
to tend in that direction, then the
sooner that advancement stops the
better. The first thought of wife or
a mother should be her home all
things, no matter how important, are
secondary to that. No matter how
rampant may become certain public
evils, let her see to it that she keeps
the evils out of her home, and she
performs her greatest duty to her God,
her family and mankind.

1t is the easiest thing in the world
to resist others temptations. 1t is
the temptations that come to ourselves
which so often prove irresistible.
God never ceases to speak: but the
noise of the creatures without and Of
our passions within deafens us and
hinders US from hearing him.-Fene-
Ion.
Affiiction is not an accident in q
world of chance, but an agent in the
hand of God, working for us a far
more exceeding and eternal weight of
glory."-Ex.
Love cannot be hid any more than
light: and least of all when 1t shines
forth in action, when We exercise your
selves in the labor of love, in benef1-
cence Of every kind. ~
What we do for ourselves will soon
be forgotten what we do for Others
may be the visions to cheer the soul
when the eyes can no longer behold
the loved one. -.
The promise of the Bible compass
every hnman want and woe. Having
these laid up in memory, hidden
away in the heart, is food laid up in
the summer for the winter of want.
A claim of inward light or Chris
tian consciousness teaching things
contrary to the words of Christ is de-
structive either of Christianity or Of
the claim put forth to such light.
Self-conceit is the very daughter of
self.will. and of that loud crying out
about and ME and mine, which Is
the very bird-call for all devils, and
the broad road which leads to death.
Be considerate of the feelings of
your friends. True friends are not 80

The inevitable separation will come
soon enough.

"Perfect through suffering" This
was written of the Savior of men:
What does it mean? No one can tell
its full significance, but it certainly
does carry the thought that the ideal
character can be perfected only through
suffering.
The reward of one duty is the power
to do another.
Economy is virtue which is needed
everywhere. No matter if persons
get rich or have large incomes, they
should be economical. TO waste is
wicked. There are better ways to
spend money and goods than to waste
them. 1t is the poorest use they can
be put to.

AN ESSAY ON BONES.
The Remarkable Composition OF an
American Schoolboy.


Bones are the framework Of the body.
II had no bones in me. | should not
have so much motion, and grandmoth-
er would be glad, but like 10 have
motion. Bones give me motion be-
cause they are something hard for mo-
tion TO cling 70. II had 40 bones, my
brains, lungs, heart and large blood
vessels would be lying around in me
and might get hurted. but now the
bones get hurted, but'not much unless
il is a hard hit
If my bones were burned should be
brittle. because it would take the an
imal out of me. II were soaked in
acid / should be timber. Teacher
showed rs bone that had been
soaked. could lend il easily.
would rather be soaked than burned.
Some of my bones don't grow close to
my body, snug, like the branches Of a
tree, and ! am glad they don't, for if
they did ! could not play leap-frog and
other nice games know.
The reason they don't grow snug 10
my body is because they have joints.
Joints is good things to have in bones
There are two kinds The ball and
socket, like my shoulder, is best.
Teacher showed it 10 me. only il was
the thigh bone of an on. One end was
round, smooth and whitish. That is
the ball end. The other end was hol-
lowed in deep. That is the socket, and
il oils itself. IL is the only machine
that oils itself
Another joint is the hinge joint, like
my elbow. 1t swings back and forth
and oils itself. 1t never creaks like
the schoolroom door There is another
joint that don't seem like a joint.
That is in the skull IL don't have no
motion.
All my bones put together in their
right places make skeleton. IL |
leave any out, or put any in their
wrong places. il amt no skeleton.
Cripples and deformed people don't
have no skeletons Some animals have
their skeletons on their outside. am
glad ! amt them ANNA Is; for my
skeleton, like IL is on the chart, would

" mmoth Moose.

The head - a monster bull moose was
exhibited at Caribou. Me. recently
There were nine prongs on one horn
and eight on the other the spread Of
the autlcrs measuring five feet The
moose, which must have weighed fifteen
hundred pounds at least, was shot by "a
Frenchman on the American side of the
81. John river The hunter, with "a
companion, was asleep by camp fire
in the woods, when he was awakened
in the middle OF the night by the moose
smelling over him. lie soon got his
rifle and with one shot dropped the ami
NAL 10 his knees, finishing him with
the other bullet IL was fortunate for
the sleeping Frenchman that he escaped
alive, for the bull moose is an ugly Gus
toner, especially under such conai-
tions as those stated The hunters were
so far away from the settlements that
it was impossible for them to bring ~
more than the head and hide of the
moose, which was probably the largest
ever killed in Maine.
