A GIRLS SELF GAcRiFlcE.
She Was a "~lsni,ed Child" but She Sur
pris.d the Whole Family.


There i a sweet girl | know who is A
hit self ~iilaJ. She is the youngest OF
four sisters, and-oh. speak it lows q
hit spoiled .laUgh she doesn't think so.
hut what 4 child ever does: Well,
her ewes had been troubling her for u
long time. bat no amount of persuasion
on the part of the family could induce
her to see IN oculist. She Is young and
pretty and could not bear tn think of
putting on the .horrid things The
family all thought her a bit frivolous
fair. but that dear child proved herself a
heroine in a way and went up several
pegs in the estimation of the family.
Supplied with her monthly allowance,
she went shopping with a list long
enough to swallow up all her shekels.
There was a new gown. a hat and gloves
and innu,nerable accessories to be
bought: so. after informing the family
of her departure and dropping out a
hint that she might perhaps stop at the
oculist's. she urged one Of the sisters to
go with her and sailed forth. They
wended their way to the oculist's first
of all. hoping the while that there was
nothing serious the matter. But the
oculist looked grave and gave SO many
tests that the girls began TO doubt that
wishing made any difference, and when
he announced a grave disorder in the
sight of the pretty blue eyes and that
it was absolutely necessary that she
should Wear glasses constantly their last
hopes fled. and the girls fell TO discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY of eyeglasses or specta-
cles and finally decided upon the latter
as much more sensible, since they were
to be worn constantly.
After being fitted and paying the bill
that spoiled child tore VI her shop
ping list. with the remark. Its no use:
papa cannot let me have any more money
just now, you know. SO I'll have TO go
without those things" So away went
the principal part of the list-the new
gown an impossible luxury. and only a
few necessary articles being purchased.
Maybe l wasn't proud Of Dolly, and
maybe the whole family-father. mother
and all-weren't proud Of her self sacri-
fee and didn't think her a brave, sensi-
BILE girl and weren't a little bit surprised
that she had spirit enough to do it!
Well, | only said. maybe they
weren't" So they were, and. do you
know, l think she will turn ont a sweet,
sensible woman yet, in spite Of the fact
that she has always been the family pet
and had her own way pretty much all
her life.-Buffalo News.

it responded 10 his will like the body to

work ont great feats within a short time,
or if he was hard pressed he gave him
self rest as socn as the strain was over.
He did not burn midnight oil, neither
lid he resors to wine or tobacco as slim
ulants to his brain. He was one of the
most temperate men ! have ever known.
He kept his faculties every day as near
as he could at their best, and life flowed
on from day TO day with an venness and
a quietness that made his home life not
only pleasant for others, but beautiful in
itself.
His habits were to breakfast about
half past Z. then to work in his garden
in the su,nmer for an hour, and then to
shut himself in his workroom, where he
could be sure. to be undisturbed until
half past IL. Then he dined, and after
that, in his later years. took a nap, Then
he was ready for callers or visits to
friends, or for the reading which might
be required for the work of the mex day.
After tea he was usually the companion
of his family. hearing his wife or niece
read aloud some book or magazine. and
this was his daily round, unless broken

or New York or seek a large number OF

FUSES about taxes don't always pay
a truth that is as forcible on the Maine
side of the border as in Canada. II is
illustrated by the experience of a Cana
dian farmer whose land, mostly in one
parish, extended a little within the
bounds of another parish-St. Ours-in
which he was subjected to q tax of 4,
cents. He refused to pay, and a suit en-
sued. He won at first, but an appeal was
taken. with the result that after a long
fight the case was decided against him.
and he had not only the tax to pay with
interest, but 81 200 in costs and expenses
besides. taking his whole farm. Heprob.

Superintendent Forbash of the gypsy
moth commission says that a band of
burlap tied about the trees has proved
an efficient trap for the gypsy moth. and
that as many other species of insects in
furious to trees We're also found in these
traps he urges farmers TO apply them
generally. Among the insects caught
Were many borers, and the application of
this simple trap will be further effica-
cious in preventing the spread of the
borers. The trap consists simply of a
piece of burlap a few inches wide tied
about the tree, the bark having been
first scraped SO as to furnish IA smooth
place TO tie it on the tree.
The upper part of the burlap is then
loosely turned oyer the string, and all
those insects which crawl up the trunks
of trees to secrete themselves in the
loose bark or other hiding places will be
found in the buriap if it is put on at =
right time. 1t must be applied at tine
season when insects are ascending. The
trap should be looked after every few
days.-Grange Homes.

There Is but n opinion among physi-
ologisrs as TO the proper position of the
feet. and that is thoroughly opposed to
the opinions of the dancing master rthe
drill sergeant. Astudy of ancient sculp-
ture will show that no such conventional
method of standing or walking was
known among the Greeks. Here the feet
are turned straight ahead. with no in
clination To the right or left. This is tie
position which our sculptors prescribe
for their models as the most natural and
graceful one in standing and walking.

authorities, III a monograph OF this SUBJ
ject names the far, square position in
walking as the most easy and natural one.
giving the greatest support to the body
with the least exertion. In this position
the feet are placed straight ahead and
she lineso of the footsteps are slightly apart
and are parallel. This is the light, alert
walk Of the Arab and is different from
the stealthy step of the Red Indian.
While the Indian holds his feet straight

be drawn through his footprints.
Dr.. Ellis goes SO far rs TO attribute the
deformity of flat ~footedness 10 the habit

manner of planting his feet on the

that the law should mol take effect until

next December. and If at that time. a
portion or even all of the taxpayers Of
the state chose 10 exercise their option

the result would be the accumulation
