For Girls Who Have Mothers

For Girls Who Have Mothers.
 Her attention was arrested by a strange sight. Her tired mother had fallen asleep over her sewing. That was not surprising, but the startled girl saw bending over her mothers pale face, two angels looking earnestly at the sleeper.
 What made that weary look on this woman's face?' asked the strange, stern looking angel of the weaker. sadder one. Has God given her no daugh- ters?'
 Yes, replied the other, but they have no time to take care of their moth- er.'
 No time cried the other. What do they do with all the time am let ting them have?
 We'll replied the Angel of Life, II keep their hands and hearts full They are affectionate daughters, much admired for their good works; but they do not know that they are letting the one they love most slip from nay arms into yours. Those gray hairs came from overwork, and anxiety to save extra money for the music and French les- sons. Those pale cheeks faded while the girls were painting roses on velvet or satin.
 The dark angel frowned.
 Young ladies must be accomplish ed now, explained the other. 'Those eyes grew dim sewing for the girls, to give them time to study ancient his tory and modern languages; those wrin- kles came because the girls had not time to share the cares and worries of every day life. That sigh comes be- cause the mother feels neglected and lonely while the poor exhausted girls are making up for lost sleep
 No wonder, said the Angel of Death, So many mothers call me. This is, in- deed, sad,-loving, industrious girls giving their mothers to my care as soon as selfish, wicked onesl'
 'Ah, the hours are so crowded said Life wearily. Girls who are cultured, or take an active part in life, have no time to take care of the mother who spent so muck time in bringing them up. Rural New Yorker.

4 LETTER FROM DAKOTA.
Editor of Netos 1:

Editor of Netos P.
 Apropos of the cold weather in Ga naan, as stated in the last issue of the NEWS, how is this from Dakota? "Sun- day was without exception the coldest day have seen The warmest part of the day it was 240 below zero; the coldest 28, and high wind all day. It only lacked snow to make 1t the worst of blizzards. We have had it some de- grees colder this winter but then it was still and comparatively pleasant. It is 20 this morn, and not severe at all; has been fine day. We had an xmas tree etc the other night and nearly all the children from miles around were here, although the mercury was -l5. Som e of the young people have gone tonight to concert at Casselton (8 miles). It is quite little below zero, but do not think they will suffer.
 ''I think we shall soon stop shipping wheat, until spring. It is very difficult to move the cars in such cold weather, especially if they stand awhile. The grease on the axles hardens and almo st sets them. Since the new track is down they bring us great many large cars, carrying 6O,O0O lbs. LOT 1000 bush each, and you may we'll imagine it is not easy to get one of them out of the way, after it is loaded" J.H.R.

4 NEW EXPLOSIVE.

We clip the following from Jamaica (W. I.) paper:
 "Our highly esteemed contemporary, the New York Times. publishes the fol- lowing startling intelligence. News from Cuba Explosion and death of six Negroes Hitherto the negro has not been considered by chemists to be explosive. Formerly before investiga- tion had set forth his true character, he was held to be an amorphous form of carbon. Prof Doremus, however, after a careful series of experiments. disprov. ed this theory and conclusively showed that the negro was a complex nitroge- nous compound, of low specific gravity, very volatile at ordinary temperatures and easily soluble in alcohol and water, but offering high resistance to deter gents. He had great affinity for sever- al bases, notably possum and watermel- on and would combine with them with out the aid of heat. He also seemed to possess catalytie power when exposed to hen roosts, deorganiziug these bodies with such rapidity that their component parts could never again be brought to- gether. In this, as Prof Doremus clear ly demonstrated, the negro was not aid ed by solar actinism, for She catalysis was most rapid in the dark of the moon; while by daylight the most easily de- composable roost could be exposed to him with perfect safety"
 Our West Indian contemporary then points out that this discovery that the negro is explosive plainly suggests sev- eral other lines of investigation in order to determine the true character of the negro as an explosive. For instance In time of war, could explosive negroes be made to serve as shells? Or, what would be the effect of a continued bonn bardment with explosive negroes? The l subject is certainly vast and complica ted and should be grappled with al once by scientists.

Last year we told you in this paper something about the Chiffon Paints, how they are made from the best materials that can be bought, how they are mixed by machinery, and how we turn out paint superior to any paint now made. You did not paint your house last year. Perhaps some one in your place has used the Chiffon Paints. If you want to paint this year. go and ask the man who used the Chil- ton Paint how he liked it, ask him all about it; how much paint it took, if 8 gallon covered as much surface as he expected, if it was easy to put on, etc. You can see for yourself how it looks. If you don't like the colors he sseo, send to us for color card.
