Good Health Catching.

Bob Ingerson being asked how he
would have improved upon the laws
OF nature, replied that he would have
made health catching" .instead OF
disease. Thousands of his admirers
have laughed over this witticism,
ignoring the fact that nothing in all
this world is one thousandth part as
contagious as health. Both in the
animal and vegetable Kingdom, gen.
Grafton after generation is constant
ly inheriting IL! That which we get
by catching" IL is the rare exception.

A little Detroit girl OF 4 years Of
age has been taught to pray for all
kinds Of blessings and help. The
other day she was guilty Of some act
Of disobedlence for which her mother
took her up stairs to punish her with
considerable severity. The little girl
had been there before and knew what
was coming. On the way up stairs
with her mother she knelt down, put
her little hands together and lifted
them in duplication.
20, Lord" she said, I'm going TO
catch it. II you ever do anything
for little girls, please Lord, now's the
time"
Then she arose and followed her
mother, who, in order to increase her
little daughters faith in the efficacy
of prayer, let her of that time.-Free

A Glover x.ittle Boy.

1t is hardly decided whether Whit
tie, when he becomes man, will be
minister or a horse-joolxey, for he
plays preacher sometimes all day;
then, perhaps for a week, plays moth
ing but jockey. People say he might
be both, but mamma thinks the
jockey is going to win. He is called
White because his name is Whitney,
and one gets dreadfully tired pro-
nouncing the "n" when he is called so
many times day.
When he was sick with the grip he
drew horses as long as his little
fingers could hold the pencil, and
every one who called on him was ex-
pected to try his or her skill at sketch
ing also.
White has a cousin Willie, and
they study one hour every day. If
mamma spells they can write letters.
White writes: please make me a
horse" to every one he knows, and If
he does not get an immediate reply
he follows up the letter with this
one: what keeps you so long with
that horse?" Mamma spends all her
pin money buying stamps for Whit
ties correspondence. He has gone to
the country now for the summer,
where he rides real live pony and
has two white rabbits with pink eyes,
and two black and white kittens that
haven't their eyes open.
Tommy says White talks slang.
Whites speech is funny, for he has
not yet learned to give the long sound
OF a or o, and instead OF saying Il fell
into hole" or what do you say?" he
says Il fell in howl" and "What d.
you si?"-New York Recorder.

and spoke in substance as follows: Those
engaged in business pursuits have kept too
much aloft from public affairs and too
generally have acted upon the theory that
neither their duty as citizens nor their per-
sonal interest required Of them any habit
ual participation in political movements.
This indifference and inactivity have re-
suited in loss to the public service.

lief that il few business men could be
substituted for professional men in Official
places the people would positively gain by
