CENTS THAT DROP FROM HEAVEN.
A Little Boy Told Il story Which Sounded
Very Much Like an Untruth.


Little Richard NJ. was q very hand
somo and very pleasant boy The
house he lived in, in Il small city,
had no door yard in front of it, but
the sidewalk Was wide and clean and
nicely shaded by elm trees and was
not SO much crowded with passers.
So it was pleasant and safe place
for little Richard to play.
The only objection to it was that
people passing by were apt to be so
much pleased with the bright faced
little fellow that they would take no.
tice Of him in a way that might
make him vain--so his wise mother
thought-and quite often a gentle
man passing would give him cent.
Richard'smother thought that this
was not good for him. and so she
very plainly told him not to take
any more cents if they were offered
him. He was to thank any such
gentleman for his Kindness, but to
tell him that his mother did not ap-
proye of his taking money from any
one.
One day after she had given him
his charge little Richard brought in
a penny. When his mother saw it,
she rcprovI him for disobcying her.
But no answered, Mamma, there
did not any man give mo this cent.
God throw it down to me out OF
heaven"
This shocked his mother all the
moro, for she thought that it must
be Il lie She did not see how her
little boy could possibly think that
he was telling the truth. So she re-
proved him very solcmnly and tried
hard to mako him SEQ how wicked
he had been and to confess his sin
But the little fellow stuck to it, and
sud over and over again: There
was not any man thoro. God did
throw tho cent down to mo from
heaven"
His mother was greatly distressed
and kept trying to get Richard to
confess his sin and ask forgiveness.
If she could not get him to do this,
she thought she must punish him.
But before she did 80 she talked with
Il young man who studied and slept
in the front room on the second floor
of her house. He was able and glad
70 explain the strange thing. He
did not know that Richard had been
forbidden to take such gifts, and one
day sitting at his front window,
when the little boy was playing Ike.
low, he tossed 4 cent down to him
without putting hi, own head i'll
sight. The cent dropped and jingled
on the pavement, Richard looked
up and around and saw nc person,
and he honestly believed what he
told his mother.
No doubt sine WAS very thankful
to he thus saved from doing cruel
wrong to hcr dear truthful boy.
The mothers who read this will pray
God to keep them from doing such
wrong to th,ir children. But chill
drcn, dreadful us it would have been
for little Richardto h' punished forty
ing, when he had told the real honest
truth, it would have been even more
dreadful ii he had told a lie and de-
cciyc4l his mother. Do you not think

William Rush's father was q ship
carpenter, and from his youth the
son was fond Of ships. Often when
a boy he would cut out miniature
vessels from blocks of wood and eX-
ercise his artistic talent in drawing
upon boards figures in chalk and
paints. When he commenced work
In this country, thcrc was no demand
for the. productions Of native sculp-
tors; consequently to make a living
Rush was obliged to carve prowheads
for vessels, then in common use. BY
1900 hr had attained considerable rep
utation rs !. sculptor and carver in
wood, and time matured his talents.
At an early date in his career his
tigurehea'ls began to be- noticed in
foreign ports. Tho figure of an In
dian trader Oh the ship William Penn
was much admired in London
The wood CuvclS there, it is re-
ported, would come in boats and lie
near the ship to sketch designs of the
tigurehCul. This was but a few years
after the Revolutionary war An
other notable PROV head which Rush
carved was the figure Of Il river god
for the ship G;nGc". So well known
abroad did his work at last become
that the house Of Nicklin q Griffcth
of Philadelphia received many orders
from England for tl%luchcads to hc
made by Rush to alorn ships built
on the other side of the Atlantic
One Of the most celebrated of these
carvings Was 4 female figure OF

Til, lease of Life.

1t is the inevitable law Of nature
that we must die. The vital energy
that is implanted III the holyat birth
is only meant to sustain it for GER
tain number of years. 1t may be
lusbandel or wasted, made to burn
slowly or rapidly. 1t is like the oil
in lamp and may be burned out to
little effect in a little time OF care
fully husbandcl and preserved and
thus made to last longer and burn
brighter.
1t is moot question whether every
individual is not at birth gifted with
the same amount Of vital energy and
of life Sustaining power. The pro
babi}ity is that each is, The circuln-
stances of the environment from the
cradle to the grave determine its
future destiny. .-Gcntlcman's Maga-

CATERERS TO DOMESTIC ANIMALS.
Principles That Undcrlie the Manufacture
of Dog and Horse Biscuit.


of Dog and Horse Biscuit.
Eyes, we are nothing more nor
less than dog caterers" said Mr.. j.
S. Leigh. Mr. Leigh, seeing that he
had aroused the reporters curiosity,
added further, land we mako 800
tons of dog biscuits in London per
week, IS tons here, besides manufac-
turing our buiscuits in Berlin and
St. Petersburg.' By this time the
reporter began to imagine that the
dog was q much more important ami
NAL than he had hitherto believed
him to be and questioned Mr. Leigh
further.
Said tho latter: MAN himself
would bo a hundred per cent better
off if he could be fed on the same
principles we apply in catering to
dogs. We ourselves eat everything
andanything. The laborer has about
the same staple articles of food that
does tho man who uses his brains
There is but littlo difference, though
from a physical point Of view there
should be a vast one.
"In feeding dogs it is quito other
wise when we have tho say. For in
stance, VIC don't give greyhound,
whose nature it is to run, food to
make him fat, but that which will
build up his bono and muscle and i'm
prove his wind. A bulldog will get
the sort of biscuit that will improve
his courage and increase his tenacity.
Tho pet dog that gets but little cxer-
else has to be presented with some
thing more tempting than either of
the other two, whllo the puppy which
isstill growing must have that which
will form both bone and flesh.
"In the manufacture Of our biscuits
all these facts enter largely. In the
first place, the biscuit must be hard,
so that tho dog cannot bolt it at once,
az he usually does with soft food,
but must gnaw at it lcisurcly, thu,
giving the saliva a chance to flow,
mix with his food and help digest it,
at the same time keeping his teeth
clean and his gums hard. As to the
composition of our biscuits, we put
that proportion of animal and vcge-
table matter into them which will at
tain any desired result. Besides
catering to dogs. we make biscuits
for cats, and, by the way, y cents
per day is the average cost OF keep
ing q cat on our biscuits. Then, too,
there are biscuits for horses, Il very
scrviceahlc thing i'll times of "a cam
paign when the most food must be
carried in the smallest space possible.
From our experience in catering
to animals, said Mr. Leigh il "onclu-
sion, II VIII wager that the time will
como when the man Of Hcdcntary
habits will no more think Of buying
the same kind of food that the man
does who leads an active life, con
stantly calling his muscles into play
than would think of giving to my
greyhound the same biscuit to eat
that | would to my puppy. '-Catcrcr
