The Baby anil the Dog,

While travelling in the north of Sweden
/ bought a beautiful dog. When first I be-
came his master be was most savage and
ehe dlfhculties l had in bringing him home
would I'LL a volume. After being domi-
clled some time in my country place his
temper became more civilized, but he was
still very cross to strangers, and even I
could no AXE liberties with him. He had
the range of the house, and his ~favorite
place was in my wife's boudoir. My last
child was then hardly out of b~abyhood-in
the semicrawling, toddling stage. She
was always brought down to the boudoir
every evening ut 5.
One evening the dog wa as usual on the
rug in front of the fire, the child being
seated in another part of the room. A
sudden cry from my wife made me look
up, and l saw to my horror the child had
w close up to the dog. One glance
showed me there was no time to interfere.
us by doing so the dog might BITE. BY the
time the baby had got up to the dog he
was pulling his ears and had one of it's
little arms right in his mouth. All the
dog did was to lick the little ones face and
permit it to tug away at it's pleasure.
f.lmostthe first word that child learned was
the name of the dog, which was Fink.
From that day the dog was a daily Wis.
ltor III the nursery, and never let the chill
dren go out without his escort, and it is
needless to say that nc stranger was per
mitted to come near them. Though Fink
liked the other children he was ALWAYS de-
voted specially t. the baby.-Henry A,

whittier and the Publish

It is related that years ago, when Whit
tiers works were not as popular as now,
he was walking one day on Cornhill, when
he met Muzzey, the publisher and book
seller. After some conversation about
poetry and one thing and another, Muzzey.
proposed to pay him $500 for the copyright
of his productions and a percentage on the
sales. Mr. Whittier was vastly astonished.
He thought pill and booklnaking had com
bined to make the man crazy. But Muz.
zey was in dead earnest, and at last Mr..
Whittier, with a reserved feeling of COM
passion for the demented publisher, CON
sented to the arrangement.
Muzzey brought out the hitherto ill
dressed and obscure children of the poets
brain, which he picked up here and there,
in neat and attractive shape. The sales
which Immediately followed astonished
nobody as much as the poet himself, but
he gradually reconciled himself to them
and began to put money in his purse. He
realized, however, no very great sum from
his productions before the advent of 'ssSnow
Bound," which he himself considered a
very Indifferent bit of versifcation, its
sudden popularity being one of the great,
est surprises Of his life.-Boston Journal.

Matches Mightier Than the Simmer


The efficacy of matches as a correctional
medium was demonstrated yesterday upon
one of the annex boats. The passengers
included a family party of three-husband,
wife and little boy of five years. Before
the boat left the slip the child proceeded to
show that he was very badly spoiled. He
was a pretty little chap, but his holiness
and mischievous ways made him anything
but popular. Although he went so far as
to throw the hand satchel of a passenger
from the seat to the floor with an accom-
paniment of wry faces, his mother said
never a word. She was of the languid
sort, and seemed too weary of the world to
even breathe. The father was kept busy
admonishing the youngster. but with little
effect. Finally he dived down into his
pocket, drew out a matchsafe, and OPEN
ing it extracted a match.
Come, here!" he commanded as he
walked toward the terrible infant and
made a feint of lighting the match.
The little fellow, thoroughly frightened,
ran to his mother, crying, please don't,
papa; I'll be good"
And he was good during the rest of the
trip.-New York World.

Dangers of Reading in Bed.

The popular idea is correct that reading
when lying in bed is injurious. It is not
the recumbent position that does the harm
to the visual organs; it is the bad, INSULT
cient light that one usually provides him
self with that works the injury. Poor
light forces the eyes to reach after it
strains them. In bed it is not usual to be
surrounded by light, as is always the case
when one reads while lying in a ham,
mock out of doors. When in bed the light
(either daylight or lamplight) is usually
the farthest removed from the bed; if it
shines at all it sheds it's rays over the feet
of the reader instead of over his left shout
der, where it should fall. A good strong
light thrown onto the page of the book
from behind and to the left of the reader
will Danish the cause of strain, and read
ing in bed, with such care as to accessories.
may be no more harmful than reading sit
ting in an upright position.-Jenness Mil
ler's Magazine.

Gave HimSelf Awny.

Deacon Sharp, who lives in the Buckeye
valley, has never married. He made the
attempt once, but his humility and piety
worked against him. He was the same
long, solemn visaged chap then that he is
now, with what is known as a "gift of
prayer" In season and out of season he
was ready at any moment to flop down on
his knees and tell all he knew of spiritual
grace. There were those who said he liked
to hear himself talk.
On this occasion he asked Jenny Price to
be his partner for life, and Jenny, who was
a prim little school teacher, consented.
Then the deacon Topped. He began in
his usual strain by invoking forgiveness
for his sins. He was everything that was
vile, and as he enumerated the crimes laid
down in his own imagination Jenny began
to fidget. At last she touched the deacon
on the shoulder.
You needn't pray any more on my ac-
count" she said, II wouldn't think of
marrying such a wicked sinner. If you are
only half as bad as you say you are, /
wouldn't have you. I hope you will repent
before it is too late"
And she left the astonished deacon to his
own reflections upon matrimony and grace.

Hard on the JanitOr.

The city of culture and scientific re.
search, Boston, is responsible for a valua-
BILE patent in 1866. A resident of that city
invented a ''counterweight for an ele-
vator," which was to aid the machinery
and require less steam power, thereby saw
ing fuel. A series of 60-pound weights
were to be kept on the upper floors of a.
building, and when a person wished to de-
scend he was instructed to place one of
these weights in the elevator. When the
ground floor was reached the person was
requested to remove the weight from the
elevator and hang it up in a place pro-
vided. The inventor was silent on the
subject as to how the weights were to ,e
returned, but it may be inferred that the
%janitor was supposed to carry them up
stairs and replace them after the elevator
stopped at night. The practical applica-
ton of this device in q building like the
Equitable would create much interest and
profanity. New York News.

Changing Cars. and Trains.

"You may not believe it, but it is Il fact"
said a railroad man, that 1 saw two ladies
On a Black river train a few nights ago,
when the trainman at Theresa Junction
sang out, Change cars for Carthage, Low
vile and Utica, pass from one car to an
other one on the same traip! They learned
their mistake, however, before the train
started, and when chided about it de-
clared that they did just as they were told;
that they did not know but the car they
were in was to be cut out of the train and
left at that station for some cause. And
I couldn't help thinking that the order,
change t%rains,' would in fact be better
because more definite than the customary
one of change cars when another train is
to be taken. Utica Observer.

Mean Nothing by 1t.

On the return from a long cruise Ad-
miral Goldsborough's chaplain was asked
as to whether or not he considered the re-
suit of his labors satisfactory from a
clerical standpoint. EYES," he answered.,
"the result has been in the main most
satisfactory. The only serious impeachment
to progress with the sailors has been that
it is impossible to prevent their swearing

very fault for which l correct them"

The Provost Was Angry.

Our minister was learned and warm
hearted, but somewhat cratic and absent
minded. He had a pony hat had a great
aversion to donkeys, and it was with much
difficulty that it could be got to pass one
of those animals on the road.
One day when riding to Foafar he met
near Quilkie an itinerant earthenware mer-
chant whose stock in trade was drawn by
a donkey. The pony reared and backed,
md was only got past after a great strug-
gle. The minister, at the turn Of the road
a little farther on and before his mind was
quite composed, met the provost Of Foafar.
"A fine day, provost" said the minister.
Yes, fine day, Mr. Allan" replied the
provost.
DO you think, provost, I'm likely to
meet any more asses on this roads"
The provost used strong language in re-
ply, though there was no cause for it,

A RESTORATION 4
The Daily Programme of a Dandy IN
England During Charles Time.

England During Charles Time.
The history of an ordinary day of a Res
toration beau wa something like this:
From about 10 till IL he received visitors in
his sleeping chamber, where he lay in state
with his periwig thickly powdered lying
beside him on the coverlet. Near at hand,
on his dressing table, the curious visitor
might have noticed some little volumes of
amatory verse. a canister of Lisbon or
Spanish snuff, a smelling. bottle and per-
haps a few fashionable trinkets.
As soon as he deemed proper the beau
arose, and with incredible difficulty pro-
ceeded to put on all his charms; to per-
fume his garments: to soak his hands in
washes for the sake of producing whiteness
and delicacy; to tinge his checks with
carmlnatlve in order to give them that
gentle blush which nature had denied
them; to arrange a number of patches upon
his face SO as to produce the effect of moles
and dimples; to dip his pocket handker-
chief in rose water, and to powder his linen
SO as to Danish from it the smell of soap;
to consume u quarter of : hour in the
attempt to fasten his ~cravat; so long again
In the endeavor to adjust his wig and to
cock" his hat; as long again in the con-
temptation of his charms in the looking
glass, and as long again in the practice of
such smiles as would display to the best
advantage the ivory whiteness of his teeth
these were the processes through which
he who desired to figure as a beau of the
first magnitude was compelled in that age
to pass.
The character of the beau, so far as his
twa and personal appearance was con-
cerned, was now complete; and as in those
days fashionable gentlemen used their
legs to a much less extent than they do
now, our imaginary beau would have
directed his valet to order a sedan chair
without delay. Into this he stepped and
was borne to the fashionable haunt-to the
mall in st. James park, or perhaps to the
more ceremonious parade in Hyde park,
where, like a butterfly, he delighted to
dutter in the train of some frail and jilt-
Ing beauty, who gloried in nothing SO
much as IAN equipage of %fools," and who
was perfectly willing for the nonce to fur
alsh him with an excuse for toasting her
in a tavern at night.-Gentleman's Mag
azine.

All from the Banana.

Mr.. Gels has shown that the ripe banana,
put up in tin n with condensed milk,
makes an almost ideally perfect food that
will keep as well as any other canned prod
net; that meal can be manufactured eco
aomically by simple processes from the
raw or unripe fruit in such a way as to
keep as well as wheat flour; that a sausage
can be made Of the partially ripe fruit
which, when thoroughly dried, will keep
in any climate. and, moreover, he has DEM
onstrated that the meal, being q pure
starch, a n be utilized not only in the
making Of bread, but in the brewing Of

Great Men Who Danced.

The ancients regarded dancing as a nee
essary accomplishment. Socrates learned
the art in his old age, while Plato, in his
commonwealth" advocated the establish
ment of dancing schools. The Romans
celebrated their victories and pastoral fes-
rivals b~yNelaborate dances. They excelled
in pantomime dances, from which the bal
let was evolved. The Emperor Domitian
forbade the senators to dance, and for so
doing removed several members from the
senate. Grave statesmen and politicians
OF high degree have excelled in the oldest
OF the arts.-Lee J. Vance in Popular Sci
ence Monthly. 4.
