MR.. KIPLING's FATHER
LFrom the New York rrlhune.l


John Lockwood Kipling, the father of
Rudyard Kipling, is now on visit to his
sons new home in Brattleboro, Vt. Mr..
Kipling, ST., is a courteous and engaging
Englishman of the best type, in years
slightly past middle life. Those who have
met him in this city or upon his travels
and the greatest care has been taken not to
reveal his presence and identity to the
newspapers-agree that he is of singular
grace of manner AMI charm of converse
ton. A keen yet appreciative observer,
he is well pleased with all that America
has shown him of its best. His life has
been mainly spent in the British civil ser
vice in India, but he is author of a large
and admirable work on India and is mod
estly proud of his own achievements, and
of the fame of his gifted son.

A general tired feeling of the eyes
may be greatly relieved by repeated
baths of tepid water; and in the case
of advancing years, water with con,
siderable degree of heat may be used
with benefit. Where there is pro.
nounced Inflammation, though not of q
severe nature, manifesting itself par
ticularly in granulation of the lids
the best simple remedy is sulphate OF
zinc. Five grains of the sulphate tc
an ounce of soft water makes gentle
hath which can be used without any
fear of unpleasant consequences, and
the strength of the solution can be
gradually increased, or decreased, as
its effects are shown.
Sometimes it is very difficult to re.
move q glass stopper from bottle.
A cloth wet in hot water sometimes
is sufficient; but if this fails, remem.
Der that the principle is to expand the
neck of the bottle by heat, and not
the stopper. With bot water the lat
ter is often heated equally with the
neck. and thus the dsired effect is
not produced. "By holding the neck
of the bottle about half an inch above
the flame of lamp or CANDLE" says
the Industrial World, "In d few
seconds the most obstinate stopper
will generally come out"
When You Go TO Sleep.-The prop
er arrangement of draughts. for the
ventilation of sleeping rooms has per

certain. 1t has been proved by actua!
experiment that layer of air LIES
against the walls which is subject to
very little movement, even when
there is q stroug circulation in the
middle of the room. 1t is, therefore,
important that a bed should not he
placed close to the wall. If kept there
during the dayt it should be moved
at least several inches out into the
room at night.

Not Kept from Church.

Did you ever hear of anybody being
kept from church by little rain? I
suspect you have. But let me tell you
of girl in West Africa who was not
kept from church by a great deal more
water than comes down in the rain.
She lived near the Ogowe river. One
Saturday afternoon as she was going
away from the missionary's house,
his wife said: NOW you must not for
get that you promised to come to-mor-
row to church." -
EYES," replied the girl, II willsurely
come if am alive" - e
But the next morning she found
somebody had stolen hers canoe, and
no one would lend her one to go to
church in. But she had promised to
70 and she felt that she must. The
current was swift, the watpr deep, and
the river fully third of mile wide.
but she swan across the river and
got to church. Te
When there is a little shower about
church. time remember the girl that
swan the Ogowe river.

All types of character and every va
riety of human nature are found in
travelling. But the other day we met
some specimens of large class who
are more thoughtless than vicious.
Several young ladies came into the car
and had no sooner seated themselves
than they attracted the attention of all
the other passengers by their loud con-
versation and boisterous laughter.
They seemed to think it was necessary
to thus impress others with their inn
portance and feared perhaps that they
would not be noticed unless they made
themselves heard. They were appar:
emily respectable girls, but they had
never learned that such conduct is the
surest indication of ill-breeding and
excites disgust in the minds of those
who know that modesty is the highest
charm of womanh bod. Well-bred peo
pie never attract attention in a crowd
either by laughter or loud talking, but
show their culture and courtesy by n
quiet, self. possessed demeanor, taking
care not to offend others either by
word or act.-St. Louis Ad.

An Interesting Exercise.

"How many things come on the
table that begin with AZ"
The children thought minute, and
one responded, "Apples;" another,
"Asparagus;;" another ''Almonds."
rs there nothing else we eat that
begins with A?"
mo answer.
"WelI, look it up after dinner.'
"What do we eat that begins with
B?"
A simultaneous shout, "Beef;" then
Bananas" :and "Butter," "Beans,"
Bread" followed in quick success
ion.
"Now I want you to make up lists of
all the articles of food used by us, or
any humans except cannibals. You
may hunt through the cookbooks,
through the dictionary, through the
botany, through the encyclopedias
and books of travel. Put each list
under its appropriate letter, and at
the bottom of each list the number it
aggregates. Then the aggregate Of the
whole. We shall then easily see on
what the human race subsists. The
one that gets the longest list is to have
q prize"
Right after dinner the children
made little blank books, leaving page
for each letter of the alphabet, and set
to work on their quest. 1t couldn't be
concluded in half day or half year,
but it was decided that in three
months they should compare notes,
and see which one had made the larg-
est aggregate.
The books were a curious study
when they came in. Going over the
lists great many items were struck
out, Meat being one, though beef,
mutton. and pork were allowed to re-
main. Cake was struck from the lists,
and:its components, wheat, eggs, sugar,
butter, etc., allowed to remain. What
was left when the revision was made
represented the original staples used
as food.
Of course; some of the pages, as K
and @, were not very we'll filled.
81 think G is mean letter." sal d
one of the boys; lit robs poor X of
all nearly that belongs to him, and,
not content with that, filches from S
what rightly belongs to him. Indeed,
if G gave up all he has taken away
from his neighbors, I don't know
what he'd have left if II didn't come
to help him out" .
The children talked over their pur-
suit in the line of foods with their
playmates, and several of them start
ed books and lists, to which as they
read they are continually ad ling.
If anyone thinks this exercise is
not interesting, let him engage in it

Testing Pure Water.

1t is one of the easiest things in the
world to tell pure>water from the i'm.
pure. fyou want to test the color OF
the water, just fill colorless glass bot.
tie with the water and look through ii
at some black object, and the distinct
iveness with which you can see the
Object will give you an idea as to the
amount of clay or sand there is in the
water. Then pour out one-half the
water, cork the bottle tightly and set
it in warm place for about "a hours.
remove the cork and smell the air in
the bottle. If there is an offensive
odor even the slightest, the water is
unfit for domestic uses. Well water,
no matter how bright and sparkling,
is, nine times out Of ten, putrescept.
Then, as matter of course, decompo-
sition is sure to set in in day or two
if you put the bottle in warm
place. :

The Whole Truth.

A minister who was witness in 6
case before court had administered
to him the usual oath. "You do sol
emnly swear that, in the case now
pending, you will tell the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the
truth. So help you God"
He happened to know some thing;
about the case which neither side oil
the case wanted told in court. The
witness, however, intended to tell all
he knew. The lawyers began to object
to his making certain statements, say.
ing they did not wish to hear anything
except what they asked him about
He appealed to the judge, and the
Judge said he should not tell anything
to which the lawyer objected. Your
honor, didn't you make ME swear I'd
tell the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth, so help me God? You
made me swear it, and I'll tell it,"
"And with that he jumped to his
feet, and turning to the jury, com.
menced to rattle it off to them and
despite all the efforts of two lawyers
to stop him, he told it all ; and then
turning to the judge, he said: Nov
your honor, Pve told it. Now put me
in Jail if you like. But hereafter, il
you don't want me to tell the whole
truth. don't you make me swear that 1
will"
Judges and lawyers were good deal
amazed but the honest man wasn't
sent to Jail. And the judge after the
court adjonred, said to friend: That
man taught me lesson to-day that l
had not learned in all my forty years
experience on the bench; and now l
very seriously question if it is right to
swear men that they will tell the whole
truth, and then allow lawyers to pre-
vent them from telling it."
Who that has sat in Court room
and watched the lawyers in their at
tempts to prevent witnesses telling the
simple truth, and endeavoring' to con-
fuse and break down honest men, and
too often succeeding, has not felt that
there ought to be some way of protect
ing witnesses, and giving them a
chance to tell exactly what they know,
and the whole Of 1t.

A Well Founded Opinion.

Some time ago a troopship was re-
turning from abroad, and among the
passengers was an old lady who had O
favorite parrot, which she placed un'
der the especial care of one of the sail
ors. On going to attend Polly one
morning he was surprised to find that
poor bird dead, and knowing how very
much upset the old lady would he to
hear of the death of her .favorite, and
not feeling equal to imparting the sad
intelligence himself, he employed a
brother tar, who was famous for bis
gentleness in matters of that nature.
Going up to the old lady with a very
sad face and touching his cap, he said
II don't think that 'ere parrot OF
yours will live long, marm."
80, dearw said the old lady
"Why?" -.
"Cos he's dead" was the comforting
reply.-Exchange.

Keeping the head perfectly clean,
says writer in the Salem, Mass,
Gazette, is a, great aid to health. A
distinguished physician, who has
spent much Of his time at quarantine,
said that a person whose head was
thoroughly washed every day rarely
took contagious diseases. but when
the hair was allowed to become dirty
and matted it was hardly possible to
escape Infection. Many persons find
speedy relief for nervous headache by
washing the head thoroughly in weak
soda water. We have known cases
almost wholly cured in ten minutes by
this simple remedy A friend finds it
the greatest relief IN case of "rose
cold," the symptoms entirely leaving
the eyes after one thorough washing
of the hair. The head should be
thoroughly dried afterward, and
draughts Of air should be avoided
for little while. ....

it, placing the mouth of the glass di-
