HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THAT ?

Have you ever noticed, when you're buying
berries by the peck,
That those on top are large and ripe, with
out spot or speck;
While those beneath are small ana green
not worth the looking at,
And altogether worthless-have you ever
noticed thatf
Have you ever neticed in the summer when
the days are cold
The icsman leaves larger chunk than what
your box will hold;
But when the days are scorchlng hot ana
nearly fry your fat
He leaves the mersst trihe-have you ever
noticed that?
Have you ever n oticed that the man who's
always telling you...
About the wondrous things he's done and
what he's going to do,
Is IoafinR at the present time-his .purse is
busted nat
And won't you loan a nver 3"-hAve you
ever noticed that2
Have you ever noticed fishermen all have
such awful luck,
The mammoth fish they nearly got fell back
into the brook,
And while OF great fresh water whales they
ever wildly chat,
They bring home tinRy ninnows-have you
ever Noticed that?
Have you ever noticed Office seekers, ere
election day,
Grasp everybody g hand and something kind
and fetching say,
And when safe in office, with salary big
and fat,
Forget the humble voter-have you ever
noticed that2

HOW Peter Cooper Struggled

Peter Cooper, who founded the
Cooper Institute, had fard struggle
because as a boy his health was of the
frailest. He went to school but one
year of his life, and during that year
he only went every other day. But
when he was eight years old he was
earning his living by pulling hair
from the skins Of the rabbits his father
shot to make hat pulp.
He had not "half chance" II
seemed almost literally that he had
no chance at all. He went to New
York when he was seventeen years
old to make his fortune. He walked
the streets for days before he got q
place, and then apprenticed himself to
carriage maker for five years for bis
board and two dollars q month.
He had neither time nor money fol
pleasures, but he had the pleasure O
hope. While he was working for fifty
cents a week he said to himself, "If ]
ever get rich I will build plac'
where the poor boys and girls Of New
York may have an education free
And he did it.-Youth's Companion

THE BABY-wHAT Is TIP
A COLLECTION OF DEFINITIONS THAT
WILL MAKE YOU THINK
AND SMILE.

London It'd Bits has just awarded,
a two-guinea prize for "The Best
Definition of a Baby" The prize
was won by Miss Nellie Braidwood,
of Girvan, Eng, who sent in this
answer:
A tiny feather from the wing of
love dropped into the sacred lap
OF motherhood.
The following is a selection from
some of the best definitions known:
The bachelors horror, the mothers
treasure, and the despotic tyrant Of
the most republican household.
A human flower untouched by the
finger of care.
The morning caller, MONDAY crawl
er, midnight brawler.
The only precious possession that
never excites envy.
The latest addition of humanity, of
which every couple think they possess
the finest copy.
A native fall countries who speaks
the language Of none.
The unconscious mediator between
father and mother, and the focus of
their hearts.
About twenty-five inches Of coo
and wriggle, writhe and scream, filled
with suction and testing apparatus for
milk. and automatic alarm to regu.
late supply.
A quaint little craft called limo
cence, laden with simplicity and love.
A curious bud Of uncertain blossom.
A thing we are expected to kiss and
look as if we enjoyed it.
The smartest little craft ahoat in
homes bay.
A mite of humanity that will cry
no harder if a pin is stuck into him
than he will if the cat won't let him
pull her tail.
A little stranger with a free pass to
| the hearts best affections.
It's sweet and tiny treasure,
A torment and tease;
It's an autocrat, an anarchist,
Two awful things to please;
It's rest and peace disturber,
With little laughing ways;
It's wailing human night alarm,
And terror of your days,
That which makes home happier,
love stronger, patience gaeater, hands
buster, nights longer, days shorter,
purses lighter. clothes shabbier, the
past forgotten, the future brighter.

The Best Authorities.

Such as DR.. Dio Lewis, Prof. Gross,
and others, agree that catarrh is not q
local but q constitutional disease. 1t
therefore requires a constitutional
remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which efectually and permanently
cures catarrh. Thousands praise it.

BY THE BARD OF rowHn nALL.


4 mothers pet lit le Jane,
Who was but four years old,
With azure eyes DER rosy cheeks
And curls like skeins OF gold
One morning searched the pantry shelves
When the mother was not by.
And took with dimpled hands from one
A nicely baked mince pie !;
Then knife in hs nd upon the noor,
She cody took seat,
And gave the cat and kittens each
piece of pie to eat.
Her mother came-amazed. she said;
"WeIl, here's pretty show
Z" / couldn't help 1t Ma said Jane.
:" / love the pussy So"
The girl who couldn't help 1t grew
From feeding cats on pie
To be u girl of sweet sixteen,
Delighting every eye
And then to win her youthful heart
There went Q suitOr bold,
She gave him both her heart and hand,
Then she her mother told.
Her mother asked why did you thus
Your hand on him bestow
81 couldn't help 1t, Ma" she said.
~ couldn't help it no."
40, nonsense, girl" exclaimed her ma,
when You were but little child,
And fed the cat on pie
AZ know did, !" responded Jane,
'' And will the reason show
fed the cat and married John,
Because loved them So"
Fair James excuse was very good
'Tis one tn ats made by all
Whose friends inquire, why did you buy
They say, "Ws bought them there because
We bought at prices low;
And, bya sense of duty led,
We couldn't help it-no.
