poROTHY's PRAYER.

Little Dorothy was tired, oh, so tired,
as she knelt at her mammals knee and
tried TO say her prayers, as she did every
night. She was so tired that her dear
little head was heavy, and the lights
made blurs before her eyes, and the
room seemed going in whirl like a
merry go-round.
Now" said her mother when she had
said her prayers, Task God to bless
grandpa and grandma, Aunt Susie and
Uncle viii, mamma and papa and little
brother"
Mamma" asked Dorothy, very grave
ly, edo you think God would mind very
much if 1 was to just lump the family
to-night?'
Her mother told her that she must
complete her prayer as she always did,
and the heavy head nodded from side to
side as she tried to say reverently;
"Bless-gran' pa-gran' ma-Aunt Susie
-uncle-oh, mamma, Pm so sleepy, and
God knows the rest better'n do.'
And, climbing into her little white
bed, Baby Dorothy went to sleep with
never thought whether she wakened
here or there And the mother watch
ing her tranquil slumbers, felt sure that
God did know the rest and had Dorothy
safe in his keeping. Detroit Free Press

Are the mainstay of our Republic. In
them are being cultivated the minds
which are to be our future lawmakers
and leaders in every walk in life. How
essential it is that these minds should be
united to strong, healthy bodies. So
many children suffer from impurities
and poisons in the blood that it is won
der that they ever grow up to be men
and women. Many parents cannot find
words strong enough to express their
gratitude to Hoods Sarsaparilla for its
good effect upon their children. Scrofula
salt rheum and other diseases of the
blood are effectually and permanently
cured by this excellent medicine, and the
whole being is given strength to resist
attacks of disease.

A HUNDRED YEARS TO COME.

Wouldn't you like to live until the
year A. D. 1000, just to see the people
and the world generally? Who knows
but you might, if you observe the laws
of health, and keep the stomach, liver
and bowels in full action. The best
medicine known for this is Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are small, sugar
coated granules, but powerful to cure
produce no nausea or gripping; easy to
take, and sure cure for billiousness, con-
stipation. headache and diseases pro-
duced by an inactive liver. A convenient
vest-pocket remedy.

MOLAssEs AS FUEL.

The Louisiana Planter, the organ of
the sugar planters of the State, says that
they will use their lower grades of mo-
lasses this year for fuel. Last year the
molasses was drug on the market, and
the problem what to do with it became
a serious one. A large number of the
planters dumped it into the bayous to
get rid of it, but vigorous protest has
been raised against this practice, as it
tends to make the bayous foul smelling
and unhealthy; others kept the molasses
in tanks in hopes that it would improve
in value. 1t has not improved, however,
but deprecated, and the question of
how to get rid of it is as difficult as ever.
Two plans have been proposed, to
manufacture it into rum or to use it as a
fuel. The first would require capital
and machinery, and the planters think
they have as much to attend to as they
can manage without running distilery,
so they have determined to abandon the
rum idea and use the molasses as fuel.
1t is now worth two cents a gallon, or
1888 ton, which is slightly less than
coal sells for at the plantation. The
crop this year will be 10000 tons, of
which 10000 tons will bring enough to
make it worth selling, while the other
1000 tons will be sufficient to supply the
sugar houses with all the fuel they need
to manufacture their crop.
The molasses will make as good fire
as Pittsbufg soft coal, in general use
here, containing 20 per cent water, s per
cent ash and ~ per cent carbon. The
chief difficulty of burning the molasses
has finally been overcome by sprinkler,
which throw it on the bagasse or sugar
cane after the juice has been pressed
from it, when it burn as well as coal,
causing a strong heat. The planters
have hesitated to consume the molasses
in this way, hoping that some better use
could be found for it, but as none better
has shown itself they will be compelled
to burn it as fuel.

FARMYARD ODDITIES.

A dispatch from Reading, Pa, to the
New York Times says that among the
farmers there abouts are a six legged
pig, owned by Elias Seaman of Matt
zingerstown and four-legged duckling,
treasured for luck by John Smithinger
of Union Township, near Birds borough.
Jacob Loeb, also of NaftzingerstoWn.
owns a male guinea thath just Matched
out brood of nine young guineas, which
he takes care of with the same pride and
attention that a well-regulated guinea
hen would manifest.
A snow-white crow that had for some
time been flying around the neighbor-
hood of Cain, Chester county, in com
pany with a flock of ordinary black
crows, was shot the other day by Farmer
II. A. Beale, who had the bird mounted
by taxidermist and now keeps it as a
trophy. Its plumage does not include a
single feather other than pure white.
John Anderson of Hanesville, that
county, has hen that has adopted four
young kittens, now two weeks old. The
hen has been clucking fruitlessly on a
nest which Anderson afterwarG covered
with a board to prevent her further
efforts to set, and when the would be
chicken mother found she couldn't raise
little chicks she transferred her attention
to the litter of little kittens, beating off
the parent cat and taking possession of
the young mewing family as her own.
A spaniel dog belonging to Mrs. George
Taylor of West Chester has also adopted
a litter of kittens, and now claims them
as his own progency. When the mother
cat or any member of Mrs. Taylors
family approaches, the dog flies into a
towering passion and asserts his guard
ianship of little pussies.

A POINT FOR you.

In view of what Hoods Sarsaparilla
has done for others, is it not reasonable
to suppose that it will be of benefit to
you? For Scrofula, Salt Rheum, and all
other diseases of the blood, for pyspep;;
STA, Indigestion, Sick Headache, Loss Of
Malaria, Rheumatism, Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is an unequalled remedy.

~.ss7gn. of Spring in Connecticut.

There are signs Of an early spring in
this section of Connecticut. Last week
Erastus Boubou, an Oxford farmer,
caught black snake summing himself
on rock. John Lines saw four blue
birds in Watertown last Sunday and
Botsford farmer has seen robin. Judge
Fyler, the state insurance commissioner
whose farm is in Torrington, saw gen.
uine snowbird on Friday. This Is not
the bird that usually goes under this
name. 1t was an arctic bird OF gray
ash color with two long, slender side
feathers. This bird seldom comes along
before March on its way north.
Another sign noticed by Judge Fyler
was hawk, bird which does not stay
SO far north as this in the winter. Crows
are plentiful, another sign that spring is
here. Buckwheat cakes are becoming
tasteless and flat, and muskrats have
been seen on the banks of the Manga
tuck. A railroad man found trailing

When the railway was first opened in

and many bitter experience to con-

started on time. Shortly after the open

letter bag to put on board the mail Car.
Presently the man returned with the
bag, having missed the train.
"You had not half mile to go, and
you knew that the train left the station

The American Apple in Europe.

Apples form q considerable part OF our
exports to Europe. They command high
er prices, proportionately, than any other
American fruit. Those which can be
bought here for ten dollars barrel sell
for twenty-five dollars on the other side.

dollars for barrel of Newtown pippins
which would have sold here for fourteen
dollars. Europeans acknowledge that

A BUILDERS LESSON.


sHow shall ] habit break2"
As you did that habit make,
As you gathered you must lose,
As you yielded now refuse.
Thread by thread the strands we twist
Till they bind us neck and wrist;
Thread by thread the patient hand
Must untwine ere free we stand.
As we builded, stone by stone,
We must toll, unhelped, alone,
Till the wall is overthrown.
But remember, as we try,
Lighter every test goes by;
Wading in, the stream grows deep
Toward the center's downward sweep;
Backward turn, each step ashore
Shallower is than that before.
All, the precious years we waste
Leveling what we raised in haste;
Doing what must be undone
Ere content or love be wonl
First across the gulf we cast
Kite borne threads, till lines are fast
And habit builds the bridge at last.

A PHILANTHROPIC DAW.

Several months ago Mrs. Hazard. the niece
of Mr.. Tilden. was the recipient through the
press of many handsome encomiums for the
generosity which she had exhibited in relin-
gushing large part OF the portion OF her
uncle's property which had come into her
possession as the chief heir of the great New
York stateeman. Her share Of the estate
amounted to S2.5OO 600. and yet so profound
was her veneration for the memory Of Mr..
Tilden and 30 strong her pious regard for his
wishes that she deliberately repressed any
desire which she might have had for larger
fortune and made over to the trustees OF the
proposed Tilden Library as much as $500,
600 TO carry out the intentions expressed In
her uncle's will. which had been upset by the
decision OF the supreme court of the State.
Very many said that this was precisely
what sho ought TO have done. but at the same
time as not all are inclined to do what DUTY
and conscience dictate when some great per-
sona advantage is to accrue from an opposite
course. especially when that course is strictly
proper from legal point of view. the COM
pliments which were paid her on the score Of
fervent.
The popular mind pictured her as a woman
of such rigid sense Of justice that she did
not allow even the most seductive forms of
self-interest TO govern her conduct. In every
aspect she presented really sublime specta-
Gle of self-abnegaton in her obedience TO the
suggestions of what was right, whether she
suffered through it injury or not.
Alas for human frailty Whether Mrs
Hazard designed it or not-and we have no
reason from her own printed words to charge
it directly against her-she has been a philan-
thropic daw strutting about in plumes that
dld not belong to her. 1t now turns out that
she relnquished the 81. 500 900 under an agree
ment by which she was to receive IL 600, 600
from the Tilden trustees whether the will was
sustained or overthrown. If sustained Mrs.
Hazard would lose very heavily but if upset
she would gain equally heavily; but in any
event she would be the possessor Of 81 co.,
600. which was better as one bird in the hand
than $4,000 900 or three or four birds in the
bush.
We cannot refrain from complimenting her
on the great shrewdness which she exhibited
in this purely business transaction. There
was no flial piety here no public spirit no
large minded generosity. 1t was merely
cool careful bargain in which the chief par
ticipant had weighed all the chances pro and
con. and deliberately reached the conclusion
that an absolute title to :l.00OO0O was
more satisfactory thing than very uncertain
title to g. 500 COO
Our faith in her benevolence is utterly de-
stroyed. but our admiration for her business
talent is very much exalted.

A SILVER CONFERENCE.

A Washington special states that the Presl-
dent has issued invitations for an inter-
national conference for the larger use of Sill
ver.n He has kept the matter very quiet
having enjoned strict secrecy upon the State
Department. Ii has leaked out. however.
that invitations have been issued and. If ac-
copied in the form in which they have been
sent out, the conference will be held at Paris
or Geneva at an early date. Ii is further
stated that the decision TO issue these invita-
tions was arrived at because of information
received to the effect that Chancellor Goschen
had consented to the participation of England
in the conference on certain conditions which
were that the invitations should not propose
the discussion Of the opening of the minis Of all
nations TO the unlimited coinage of silver. but
should simply propose a conference upon
the larger use Of silver by the nations of the
earth" II this is the form Of invitation used.
England is expected to accept and Secretary
Blaine has assurances from our ministers in
France and Germany that those countries
will also accept. as will probably Italy and
Austro- Hungary.
In pursuing this course President Harrison
has acted without seeking any special au-
thority from Congress, and he is governed
wholly by political considerations. His
lingo policy with Chill and Great Britain
having failed lie is seeking other means of
making political capital. and is Fastening this
silver conference so as TO get the prestige of
its results If it is held and accomplishes the
settlement of the yexed silver question before
the Minneapolis Convention, he thinks it will
materially aid him in securing the Republican
nomination.
Whether such is the result of this proposed
conference or not it will certainly be benef-
cial to the Democracy since it will have the
effect of eliminating the silver question en-
tirely from the Presidential contest, and
leave Tariff Reform the only possible issue De-
tween the two great parties. This being so,
il makes very little difference to the Democ-
racy whether Mr.. Harrison secures the nomi-
nation or not, since q serious cause of disaf-
lection will be removed and the party will DO
united on Tariff Reform and its logical candi-
date on that issue.
