motion. when a loving attention or delicate
courtesy is given by husband or brother. And
the most precious fragrance In the atmosphere
of home is missing, when courtesy is forgotten
and neglected. . .a..
The great law giver saw fit to give up one
tenth of the divine code unto the enjolnlng OF
fiEal courtesy. Among the very pillars on
which rest the moral structures of humanity, is
to be found one admonishing respect and honor
from children for parents. Yet how are they
to learn it? Shall the child be trained
in the school of hypocrisy which has already
taught it that there is such thing as
company manners" Shall it lealn that there
is one conduct for the home and another out
side of it? 1t will model its own conduct
and build it's own home in the years to come
from the material which is given to it. The
child will honor the parents only as the parents
honor each other.

God, and the Eye that never drops its lid,
gazes upon our actions Out on the highway
of life we are passing to and fro. To us that
highway may seem full of ridges and depres-
sions. We may mark out for ourselves hills
and valleys and foolishly put some of us on the
hills and others in the low places. But in the
presence of God as we stand, we are standing
on level plain. We are shoulder to shoulder,
we rub one against the other, in our filling out
the details of the omniscient plan. Let US
not forget that thus all of US being but His
creatures, that consideration for the equal rights
and privileges of us all, should be expressed in

A Cure for Stammerlng.

:. Il gentleman who stammered from
childhood almost up to manhood gives Il
very simple remedy for the misfortune:
Go into room where you will be quiet
and alone, get some book that will in
terest but not excite you, and sit down
and read two hours aloud to yourself,
keeping your teeth together. Do the
same thing every two or three days, or
once week if very tiresome, always
taking care to read slowly and distinctly,
moving the lips but not the teeth. Then,
when conversing with others, try to
speak as slowly and distinctly as possible
and make up your mind that you will not
stammer. Well, tried this remedy,
not having much faith in it, l must con-
fesS, bat willing to DO almost anything
to cure myself of such an annoying diff.
Guilty. I read for two hours aloud with
my teeth together. The first result was
to make my tongue and Jaws ache-thst
is, while was reading-and the next to
make me feel as if something had loos.
ened my talking apparatus, for I could
speak with less difficulty Immediately.
The change was so great that every one
who knew me remarked it. l repeated
this remedy every five or six days for a
month, and then at longer intervals until
cured. Good Health.

The Modern Lock.

As respects modern locks this country
bears off the palm, whether as regards
security, convenience, facility of manipu-
lation or workmanship. Like other arti.
Giles for common use confined within the
domain of ordinary mechanics, our locks
are the best in the world. The lock of
the present day IN European countries Is
a clumsy piece of mechanism, and the
key cumbersome piece of iron that is
inconveuient to carry in the pocket and
dangerous to the clothing. The task of
the Europe burglar is easy, a twisted
piece of iron being An "open. sesame" for
all the rooms of private dwelling OF
hotel. On the continent it is even more
essential than with us that the locksmith
should be man of greater probity than
the workmen Ct other trades. Fortu-
nately, in France the honesty of the craft
has become a tradition. Comparatively
few of the burglarieS that are of nightly
occurrence in and and about Paris are
committed by locksmiths. From time
immemorial the French locksmiths have
taken the dog as an emblem of the
fidelity to its interests that the public
expects of them. 1t habitually appeared
upon their signs, which were varied
sometimes by the figure of lion guard
Ing a safe, the key of which was held
by hare. OF the relative honesty of
locksmiths in other countries where the
lock has been less speciality of manu-
features as an adjunct of art we know
little on account of the lack of statistics,
but we may say in general way of this
country that 1t would be very unfortu-
nate for society If our locksmiths should
take as kindly to burglary as some of
our engravers have to ccunterfeitiug.1

The Hiss and "Spectacles' of the Cobra.

1t is a remarkable popularity of most
poisonous reptiles that they seem to have
q great reluctance Of putting their dead
ly powers into operation. Before in
fictiug the fatal bite the rattlesnakt al
ways gives his note Of warning, and the
same may be said of the cobra di ca
pello the most deadly of the many
poisonous reptiles OF India. The cobra
warning is unmistakable-he dllates the
crest upon his neck and gives hiss
loud enough to be heard distinctly fifty
feet away. The cobras crest is fexi-
BILE membrane or hood with two black
circulars joined together so as to form a
very q cd representation of pair Of
spectacles. When the hood or crest is
in position its eyes seem to blaze with
an impish lustre, and the continued hiss
Ing gives the very air noisome smell.
According to the best authorities the
cobra never bites while the hood is
closed; and so long as that particular
is not erected the creature may be APP
preached and handled with impunity.
Even though the crest be spread, if
the creature continues in silence there is
no danger. One hiss, however, is a sure
sign that the reptile is angry and search
ing for a victim.-St. Louis Republic.
