On the Treatment of Children.

We love our children very much,
but we are curiously cruel to them,
says Mrs. Acland in the CO-operGtiUe
News. Who does not know the child
in small hood in the hot summer
sun, getting it's eyes hurt in the daz-
zling light? Who does not know the
babies under handkerchiefs, which
keeps them breathing the same air
over and over again? Who does not
know the bare arms, bare legs and
bare necks of little ones, whose deli
cate frames are far less fitted than ours
would be to bear the same exposure?
A mother was talking about these mat
ters to me once and said: "Oh,
could not bear to cover his neck, / do
SO love kissing it," She was what you
call very loving mother-there are
certainly many and different ways of
showing love. We are reminded of
that excellent lady who said kissing
don't last, but cookery do"-and we
say kissing don't last. but good health
do" If our imaginations
were now more awake, and our will
ingness to obey custom were less act
i've, we could. not only in clothes but
also in food, give them better chance
to grow up with sight and hearing act
i've and vigorous and all their powers
of mind and body ready to do the work
which lies before them.

A brief recapitulation of the blood lines that
enter into the breeding of Abdalmont: He has
a double cross of the renowned Hambletonian
1O, through Almont the moSG prepotent son OF
Alexander's Abdallah. and through his own
dam by Alexander's Abdallah (the most prepo-
tent son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian). He has
an extra amount of Mambrino Chief blood
through his sire. who has double cross of

Jay-Eye- See q ;1U) dam. He has double cross
of the fast thoroughbred tloed, Gray Eagle, be-
sides o4ber fast and good thoroughbred founda-
tion through Almont, Alexander's Abdallah.

PLAYING 1T ON A HOTEL.
The Countryman Who Attempted Suicide
by Turning on the Gas.

Speaking of committing suicide by
turning on the gas" said the hotel
clerk to Detroit Free Press man, eve
had chap play it low down on US once
upon time. say 'us' because | was
to pay half of the gas BILL"
Being asked to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, he con-
tinued:
"He was scrubby-looking old chap
with lank satchel in his hands, and
he arrived one Saturday noon and en-
gagged room till Monday morning. ]
put him in back room on the top floor
and saw nothing more of him. 1t
seems he told the cham bermaid that
he was not feeling we'll and did not
want his bed made, and SO no one
went near him. There was an airshaft
in one corner of his room, but he did
not notice it. He had come there to
suicide, so he just locked the door,
shut the window, turned on the three
gas-burners, and went to bed. This
was about o'clock Saturday after
noon.
Monday morning marked the room
vacant, and pretty soon got word from
the chambermaid that the door was
locked. About the same time work
man on the roof reported a terrible
smell of gas. He busted in the door
of the old mans room, and there he lay
in bed on the broad of his back, with
the gas just a-booming from the burn
ers. There was strong smell around,
but of course the bulk of it went up
the shaft. He had some crackers and
cheese, and durn my buttons if he
hadn't been lying right there for thir.
ty-six hours waiting for death and hav-
ing bite to eat when he got hungry
When got in he turned his eyes on
me and plaintively asked:
"'Landlord, can you tell me what's
the matter with your gas? She's been
fizzin' away here ever since Saturday
and hasn't even gin me a headache!
81 booted that old cuss until my leg
Rched, and then ran him down stairs,
but he had the best of us after all
Our gas bill for that month was $15 ex.
ira, and the affair got into the papers
and we had to stand $500 worth oi
guying."

A MANS WORK.
Why tho Widow Preferred Her First
Husband to Her Second.

Away up in the north fork of the
Kentucky river the Widow Wilson
kept halfway house, famous in that
section for its excellent fare, and when
/ happened to be i'm that neigh borhood
on one occasion made an extra effort
to get there to stay over Sunday
day afternoon as / sat in the shade OF
the porch the Widow found me.
Don't you get very lonesome here

"Yes, sometimes" she answered,
"but takin' it up one side an down
t'other l reckon I'm about ez well of
ez eff had man around"
But you ought TO get married,
argued. "You are still hale and
hearty, and a husband would be q
good deal of comfort to you"
"He mought an then again be
moughtn't," she said. shaking her
head. "I've tried two, an neither one
suited"
"What was wrong with themg"
"Well, Jinkins, he wuz the fust one,
she said in reminiscent tone; "he
wuz ornery hound that used to gil
drunk an come home an thrash me
all over the place. Eff he hadn't been
a drinkin' man / could "a stood the
thrashin'. but | didn't like the idea wv
both. After he died married Wilson
an he wuz a lazy, ornery thing that
used to git drunk an come home, an
used to thrash him all over the
place"
She laughed softly at tho memory O
it.
"That was some better than the
first" 1 said, laughing with her.
mo, it wuzn't," she promptly re-
piled.
"No? WhyP" asked in surprise.
"Well, I'd kinder got used to jim
kins's ways, an when Wilson come
never liked the idea NV doin' mans
work about the house."
1t was a new phase of "a mans worl
about the house." and for some time

COST.

We find we have much too large a
stock of Carpets to carry over. In or
der to reduce it, we have decided to
make " horizontal reduction that
will move them at once.
We are not prone to indulgence in
sensational head lines or extravagant
boasting, but 9 at this time and place"
positively assert that we shall place
lower prices on Carpets than they were
ever before sold for in Portage County
"a bona fide cost basis.
'sThere is reason in all things" and
our reason for this sacrifice in price is
that we want the room for our Fall
stock.
Now is your opportunity. You will
scarcely have another such an one in
a life time to buy elegant Floor Cover
ings untainted with profit to the seller,
It will pay you to anticipate your
purchases in the line of Carpets.
We mention in particular our large
and superb stock of Body and Tapes.

marked on them will meet your ap-
provaI, and cause you to willingly part
with your bottom dollar, if needs be,
in a Carpet investment. Just think
of it: An elegant Brussels Carpet at
but a trifle more cost than an Ingram.
Our Moquettes, Art Squares, Rugs,
Mattings, Oil Cloths and Linoleums
are all dumped in the cost hopper.
These prices necessitate strictly cash
sales. Respectfully,

How to Serve a Dinner.

A dining room must be free from
dust and at pleasant temperature.
Table cloths must be laid without
wrinkles and perfectly straight.
The sharp edges of knives must be
turned toward the plate; bowls of
spoons and tines of forks must be
turned up.
Carvers must be treated with as
much respect as if they were razors.
A waitress is responsible for the
proper heating of dishes and plates be-
fore they are brought to the table.
A meal must never be announced
until every thing is in readiness which
is needed or may be needed.
Bread must be freshly cut.
Everything which admits of choice
must be placed at the left. Every
thing which does not admit of choice
must be placed at the right.
Soiled plates and dishes should be
removed from the right.
In clearing the table food must be
removed first, then soiled china, glass,
silver and cutlery, then clean china,
glass, silver and cutlery, then crumbs,
then carving cloths.
Everything relating only to one
course must be removed before serv-
ing another course.

send to Memphis for few thousands
of dollars for judicious distribution.

had at that time one of the pretti-
est and cunningest Scotch terriers that
had ever been brought to this coun-
try, for which Ihad paid 5000. Pretty
soon after l opened up an honorable
legislator from west Tennessee strolled
into my sitting-room, took drink and
lighted a cigar; and then remarked
that while it did not make much diff
ference to him, still he had about made
up his mind to vote for the division of
Shelby county. At this l began to
size him up, when the terrier jumped
into chair close by the legislator and
held out his paw. The honorable
member at once saw the nice points of
the animal, and said he would give or
do anything for such a dog. l just
said to him quietly to vote against the
division of Shelby county and he
should have that dog OF one just like
it. The bargain was closed in a min
ute.
The transaction gave me an idea: l
could promise dogs for votes and carry
back the money. Well, to make a
long story short, had thirty odd call
ers who were little dubious as to how
they should vote on the Shelby county
division bill, and AS they all fancied
my terrier 1 promised the dog, or one
like it, to each who should vote right
on said bill, taking care to explain
pleasantly which was the right side.
Well, the bill came up for final action
in due time and the division party was
beaten by very large majority. 1 re-
turned at once to Memphis with near
ly as much money as l had taken
away, to the great surprise of those
who had collected it and explained
matters by stating that had paid out
no money for votes, but that owed
thirty-four dogs"

A Curious Grass.

Lemon Grass, known only in Ceylon,
grows to height of six or seven feet
and ignites spontaneously. At first a
single curl of smoke or bright tongue
of flame will be noticed. Soon, how
ever, as the water runs down the stalks
and mingles with the oil and acids
contained in the pith of the curious
herb, fierce fires burst into view here,
there, and every place, soon cover.
