A Generous Brother

In 1872 I was pastor of a church in
beautiful New Hampshire village.
Among the members was an elderly far.
mer, residing seven miles from the
church. It was generally known that
he had .ene fifteen or eighteen thous-
and dollars in bonds and other securi-
ties, besides a large and we'll stocked
farm. At his earnest and repeated so
licitations to preach on some Sunday
afternoon in an old chusch near his
home, finally consented. It was an e.i-
ceedipgly warm Sunday in July. /
hired a horse and carriage, drove to
the old Westinghouse, and preached to
perhaps a hundred persons. After the
service the old gentleman invited me
to call at his house. I did so, in the hope
that he wou d pay my horse bill or at
least offer ma little food for had tas.
ted nothing since breakfast. In both I
was disappointed. AS vas leaving I
asked him If lie would give me 1.-TWO or
three apples 10 eat as I drove back home.
He produced four small russet apples.
Knowing lis penurious disposition, I
asked, "How much shall pay you for
these?" II guess about three cents, "
was the reply. ~ would give 'em to
you, but its getting late for apples, and
they are mighty scarce around here"

Controlling Liquor.

The following is copy of letter
written by the Mayor of Athens, Ga, to
EReV..EsP. McClintock, of Newberry:
The Legislature (of Georgia) by a
Eaocal law has vested the management and
control of the whiskey traffic in this city
Eingthe hands of a commission of three
Emen elected by our city council. The
|;dispensary sells all kinds IF alcoholic
Estinnlants, wines, beers, ETC., at a price
fxed By the commission. The sale is free
|toau who want to buy, and are over 21
| years old3and sober, in such quantities as
She purchaser msy> desire, from one pint
to Eve gallons. All alcoholic stimulants
|sare analyzed by competent chemist
TIE dispensary is open on all secular
days except election days and legs holi-
Edays.> 1t opens at sunrise and closes st
sunset. 1t is managed by manager Ia
Fsman of good moral character) and as
many clerks as need be z at present).
The revenue arising from the sales, which
lis estimated at $4,000 for the first year,
syet to expire, is divided between the city
and county. 1t seems to be working to
the satisfaction of the crest majority of
our people, irrespective of past practices
Eor differences. It vas established by the
prohibitionists of this county to prevent
Ethe return of bar rooms to the city. They
ssaw that it was either the dispensary or
kbar.rooms, and they chose the former. /
think / can tru!hfully say that there is
|;Yery little if any increase Of drunkenness
over the prohibition era, which We had
in this county for the past six years, the
-dispensary having been opened the LIST of
October last. No drinking or lettering is
allowed on the premises. Everything
sold is delivered in packages, bottles or
Jugs already prepared.
6 ST think I have in the above given you
about the full text of our dispensary act.
Should you desire fuller understanding
of the law, I will refer you: to Acts of
State Legislature for 1891, where you
will find the law in full.
aAs said above, the commission hav.
ing the dispensary in hand, and who or
der all, the liquors, have the power to
make such rules and regulations for its
management as they see 6t, in addition
to the restrictions imposed by the act"

Sam Jones on ssHard Times"

Rev. Sam JONES writes as follows to
the Atlanta Journal from Sioux City,
Iowa:
sIsee and hear but little of hard times
out here. Really times are easier every
where than they were three months ago,
and h,lieve the coming fail we will en-
ter upon an era of unexampled pros
perity.
eI am much more concerned about the
moral and political life of our country
than I am about its material interests.
Our broad. fertile fields and great manu-
featuring interests will surely keep US
food and clothes. But have seen so
much moral debasement and political
corruption, / fear for my country.
"I am no pessimist. God knows l
would be an optomist. i sometimes try
] to believe that the world is growing bet
fer, but am thrown in view of so many
things which know will ruin men and
despoil their homes. When I know that
these evil influences are propagating and
pushing with all that avarice can inspire
and the evil tendencies of human nature
can afford as field for their operations.
80, the unhappy wives and worse than
orphan children and unhappy homes in
this great country. Sin and suffering
abound everywhere. We need q great
awakening from east to west, from north
to south, along the line of moral and po-
i;Scal purity and religious Development" )"

The Dish Water.

The patron saint of the emancipa!ed
woman of the future will be Josephine
Garis Cochraine, the inventor cf the dish
washing machine. She will be enshrined
in the grateful heart OF womanhood when
the memory of Sussn B. Anthony and
the rest is lost in oblivion and at the base
of every column reared to commemorate
the noble achievements of free aud happy
women her name should be written in
shining letters. Josephine Cochraine
was au extremely pretty western girl, ea'
gerly interested in the most fippant
affairs of society, with all the money she
wanted to spend, all the pleasure she de.
sired, with no dishes 10 wash for herself,
and 10 anxiety about the women who
did have to roughen their fingers in the
suds. In due time she married, like
other pretty girls, but it was not until
after the death of her husband that the
idea of the machine came to her. She
doesn't know how or when it came; she
only knows that it pursued and torment
ed her until che began to work it out.
She did not know the name of a tool or
the principal of a transmitted power, aud
she had no idea OF drawing or construct
ing model. She had to get the ele-
mentary books aud sit down like child
and study before she could make h,r
ideas tangible to the mechanics who car-
ried them out. She worked at her mod

fortune, $4,000, on the device, aid

How Bow Legs are Made.

Mothers in training their little ones to
walk, seem never to think of bow the
bones grow; that the bones in child's
legs are soft, half cartilaguous, and that
it is an easy thing to bend them. Hence,
the need of being careful about having
their children walk too soon, or of keep
ing them on their feet too long when they
are first learning to walk. The senseless
conduct of many parents in urging their
children to walk prematurely is produc.
tive of lasting injury. Long before soft
bones ought to have any strain put upon
them you will see these poor iufaots
made to stand, and even to walk, and by
the time they are fourteen or sixteen
months old their little legs have been
bent very considerably. Pitiful and per-
manent deformities produced in this way
are seen on every hand. Indeed q per-
son whose legs have not been bent more
or less, either outward or inward, by
fond pate,nsl ambition, is almost an ex'

Children's Occupations.

Little girls should by all means be en-.
couraged to make clothes for their doll !;
it will teach them more easily and
quickly than anything else how to make
their own garments. 1t is wise plan,
as soon as child is old enough to sew
at all neatly, to buy her good-sized
doll, which she is not to take possession
of until she has made it q complete set
of clothes. llot only should they learn
to sew them, but to cut them out; and
even quite tiny girls can learn to
do this if they are taught slowly and
patiently to make everything in paper
first, and afierward in calico. 1t will
not be considered at all hardship
quite the reverse-and will save q world
of trouble wien they are older, and be
gin 10 make their own clothes.
The childrcn's time may be employed
really usefnliy in cutting out the foun-
da;ion for photograph frames, in card or
mill-bosrd. A square or o5long will re-
quire careful measuring. These are af-
terward covered with yelveteen, or any
scrap of material 10 be had backing of
thick paper is gummed on, and card
board prop stitched on at the back easel
fashion. The delight of a child is to
make something really ornamental and
of use in the house.
These are very few of the occupa-
tions which can be found for the little
ones, but they may suggest others; the
point [ want TO make is, that it is not
good for children to be idle. Let them
play by all meaus, but they will be all
the happier, aud far legs often in dis.
grace, ifthey have something definite to
employ them for part of their play time.
It is not good thing to force on their
studies their little brains cannot stand
much learning without being overdone
but some occupation which will give
them g taste for using their fingers not
only makes them happier noT, bu: adds
much to their chances of becoming useful

An Important Commandment.

a very nice girl wrote to me and said
that she wished her mother was like other
girls mothers, for then she could con-
fide in her and would know just what was
right and what wasn't. There have been
two or three girls who have written that
same thing, and what I have say to them
is this: Don't you think it possible that
the fault is with you2 Don't you think
it possible, as you haven't been in the
habit of confdipg in your mother, that
she is Let to blame if she does not show
very much sympathy when some day you
conclude to 60 to her? The wise girl is
the one who tells her mother everything
her little joys, her little sorrows, who
has her mother interested in all the
events of her life and whose first incli
nation is o"let mother" know of the
coming pleasures, or the past sorrows.
Don't you know that it hasn't been such
long time ago since mother was girl
herself? And if you will only 60 to her
and make the young part OF her heart be
born again you will find that she can
sympathize with every ambition and that
abe can be interested in every pleasure,
and that she can be just as delightful and
ever go many times more so than any girl
friend you ever had. The commandment
that had in my mind when began to
write this was: "Honor thy father and
thy MOTHER" and the promise that fol-
lows. Do you know what honoring your
mother meansS 1t means not only being
to her. dearest companion and closest
friend, but it means thinking of her hap.
piness in more ways than one. 1t means
not showing her even the leas, instteu.
ton, and certainly i, means never speak.
ing to her, or Of her, in sighting man.
ner. 1t means giving her of your best
your best love and reverence Who will
ever stand by you as your mother has?
Nobody. Who was "last at the cross and
earliest at the grave" of Christ himself?
His mother!, And you, who think you
can't go to your mother and tell her of
your daily life and its pleasures and dis
experimentation who have allowed a
wall of reserve to be built between your
mother and you. break it down. You
must do it if you would be hsppy, and
you must do it because you are the
younger of the two. A mother will help
you in this work, but you must begin it.
And you are anxious to, are you not ?
You may have 70 do it brick at time,
but the day will surely come, il you per.
severe, when you and your mother will
not only be face to face, but heart to
heart in all your undertakings and when
you will realize exactly what is meant BY
the commandment You and I make
promises and break them; God never
does that, and when he laid u;'on youthe
command that you should honor your
father and mother He gave this promise,
"And thy days shall be long i, the land
which the Lord thy God h.th given
thee" e."-Ruth Assmore, IN La.lies Homs
