Our Old Fire Company.

That was gay old company that we belonged to, Joe, away back Tn '9S, when you and ran with the machine. Do you remember thal big fire in Hotel Row. one freezing night. when fifteen people were pulled out of their burning rooms and came down the ladder in their night-clothes and how Dick Greene brought down two kids at oncc-one in his arms, the other slung to his back: Poor Dick, He got the catarrh dreadfully, from so much eX- posture, and suffered from it five years or more. We thought once he was going in consumption, sure. But, finally, he heard of Dr. Sage Ca tarrh Remedy, and tried it, and il cured him up as sound as flint tell you, Joe, that catarrh remedy Is q great thing. It saved as good | man and as brave a fireman as ever trod shoe leather.

Good Advice

If people learned to live, eat, sleep and clothe themselves intelligently and reasonable, and to curb imagl- nations, the days of medicine would be well nigh past, or so soon as in herited defects should be outgrown. Two thirds of all the supposed hu- man diseases are imaginary, The quack doctor, and the quack medical advertisements, in various forms, work upon the imagination. Long lists of symptoms" are set forth in a way to catch the eye and lead the inauguration astray, A person weak or weary, suffering from effects of improper food, taken in an improp- erly prepared condition or in undue quantity, has a disordered imagi- nation, and in inst that condition to be caught by these spacious dis plays, symptoms. The medicine is bought and taken. It stimulates perhaps at first the consumer, who only needed rest to body and stom- ach or mind lmagines himself bet ter and goes on taking it, all the while injuring his or her health.

Importance of Parental Authority

There is growing tendency among professional reformers aud humanitarians to cXtol kindness as the chief clcment-as, in fact, the very handspring of every klnd of government. They would suppress all exercise of power, and instead of firmly enforcing obedience, they would merely solicit the submis ion of those who are prone to disregard the law and defy authority.
 This is pernicious theory. Un- questionalfy, the function of govern ment should be pervaded with q spirit of genuine kindness, but kind ness will not govern lawlessness nor will it even restrain either children or men from refractory behavior when their passions are aroused.
 In order to command the obedience of those whom it is necessary to govern, there must be force, author ity, power There must be i'll the mind of the party to he governed a full conviction that the power of the other party is superior to his own ; that there is in the party claiming obedience an ample reserve of power fully adequate to inforce the claim. The more complete this conviction, the less occasion there will be for the exercise of the power.

 Mir. Smith turned on his heel.

 And the sight of Mir. Smith's face, as he surveyed it's entries, was a study.
 "Jacintho,' said he. "l give in. 1 You've done well to come here and open your studio. What will John 
 Jacob Finlay say!
 John Jacob himself came up to town next day.
 "Jacintha. said he. "the best of us are liable to make mistakes. !"
 "Yes?" she interrogated.
 "I haven't committed myself to Betsy Dow vet, although folks have been silly cnoughto to talk, " he added.
 "No?" still with that questioning air.
 And if you'll say so, we'll let by zones be by-gones, and renew our old engagement. he went on, with persuasive smile.
 But don't say so," cried Jacin- tha. II wouldn't cut out Betsy Dow for the world. Pray return to her at once. As for me. am too much absorbed in my art to care to marry any one at present.

LITTLE AT A TIME.

Little by little the rain drops fall Over the thirsting fields; Little by little the corn grows tall- Great is Che crop it yields. Little by little the waters flow. Turning the mighty mill: Little by little the moments go, Never one stands still. Little by little our duties throng, Each in it's given place; Little by little we press along, tntll we have won the race. Little by little we sum the whole Of knowledge, wealth or fame; Little by little we near the goal On which we have set our aim. Helen W. Clark, in Golden Days.

A St. Louis teacher makes reasonable
complaint when he says: The publishers of
school maps are more responsible for errors
than any other class of people on the
planet. They use sometimes half dozen
different scales of size in single book, and
it is impossible for children to get correct
idea of the relative sizes of different coun-
tries because of the lack of uniformity in
the maps should be on the same scale,
otherwise most incorrect ideas will be
formed. I recently asked bright school
boy, who had just finished the study of
geography and laid it by because he knew
all about it, how large he supposed Arabia
was. He reflected moment, and then,
with some confidence, replied that Arabia
was about the size of Massachusetts,. sug-
gested the possibility of his being mis-
taken when he got his atlas and showed me
that Arabia and Massachusetts were
nearly the same size, that is, on the map.
He opened his eyes when I explained to
him the mysteries of the scale, and that
instead of being mere speck Arabia WAS
as long as from St Paul to New Orleans,
as wide as from st. Louis to New York,
and contained more than one-third as
many square miles as the United States.
He had been misled by the maps, as his
teacher probably had also, and thousands
of other people besides, A uniform scale
would prevent many false ideas, and if
national series of textbooks is ever
adopted the aliases should have that fea-
ture prominent.

When my heart was as light as the blossoms it

Where my old maiden aunt by the parson was

wore.
On this rude oaken bench meath bending boughs
seated
While the wild bee was humming its song in the
tree,
There we children ofttimes by our elders were
treated
To share with their gossip some cakes and weak
tea.
Look! Here are the names of the many now
sleeping,
OF dear parents and kindred long gone to the
The old apple tree like a true friend is heaping
The old oak bench they sat on with beauty and
bloom.
In the glad days of spring, when the spirit re-
When the old apple tree looks as gay as a
bride,
I could dream that heard every one of the

side.
Every rudely carved name has a story to tell
And that true lovers knot, remember it we'll;
1t was carved on the day when my first grief be-

their place;
But the dear household faces whose welcome I

A NEW ELECTRICAL WONDER.

a ~ ~ - AIAAIS 1OAA "VNDHt6s
Mr.. Nikola Tesla, young Hungarian,
has been astonishing the electricians He
appears to have made discovery of very
great Importance. He had an idea that he
could develop the potentialities of the al
ternating current, which, as used at pres
ent, alternates from 100 to 200 times sec
ond. He reasoned that if he could in
crease the number of vibrations far above
that degree greatly increased effects would
be obtained. He constructed machine
that gave him 10000 vibrations a second,
and his results were truly. marvellous
He finally obtained as high as 81, 900 vibra-
tions second, and then, by the adoption
OF simple apparatus, he secured a current
with rate of vibration like that of spark
from static frictional machine, amount
ing to millions in second. The most i'm
mediate practical result of the discovery is
a method of lighting which promises to
revolutionize present processes, since it
does away with all wires in direct connec-
ton with lamps. For instance, in illumin-
ating room all that is required is to
bring the wires from the central station
into connection with two large sheets of
metal, one on either side. Metallic wall
paper might be employed. Then, by the
principle discovered, glass tubes, properly
exhausted, are made to glow brightly
through the induction thus produced, and
they can be moved freely about the room
like any lamps.
What more will grow out of this discov-
cry remains to be seen. Electricians think
that much will. 1t is possible that we have
only just begun to find out what electricity
can do. Each new wonder encourages in
vestigators, and the end appears to be still
far off.

Al NOTARLE EXPERImENT.

The advocates of cooperation will be
much disappointed by the announcement
that the Cooperative Foundry company of
Somerset, Massachusetts, is going to close
up business and pass out of existence.
This is the end of a remarkably long ex-
pertinent in cooperative production. Or
ganized October 1S, 1867, the Somerset
company is the Oldest example in New En-
gland, and one of the Oldest in the United
States, of productive cooperation that has
survived to the present time; and its ap-
parent success during the greater part of
that time has been a constantly employed
argument by every advocate of the indus
trial principle it represented 1t has been
again and again pointed out as an illustra-
ton of how easily workingmen can get
along without any employers but them
selves and how practical and profitable it
can be made for laborers 50 work together
for their mutual advantage. Abeginning
was made with a paid-up capital of S15, 900
and twenty-four stockholders, all of them
ordinary working moulders. Since then
the capital has been increased to 100000,
divided into s100 shares, and the number
of shareholders has risen to forty eight,
most of them employed in the business.
Dividends have been paid somewhat ir-
regularly, usually at the rate of 10 per
cent. per annum, if at all, and the general
reports given out have, till now, been to
the effect that those engaged in the ex-
pertinent were satisfied with its results.
Why the company has come to an end
does not appear, and therefore we cannot
tell whether the cooperation theory worked
we'll or not. But the advocates of CO.
operation will no longer be able to point
to it as illustrating the soundness of their
theory
