Eight.year-old Fred was the young,
est member Of q large family, and,
unlike many boys Of that age, was
accustomed to regard himself as Il
person of little Importance.
At the table no ate what was given
him with n thankful heart and Il Wig
orous appetite. He was not consult
ed as to his personal likes or dislikes
as far as food was concerned.
Naturally enough, therefore his
ideas We're much confused when on
the occasion OF his first dining out ut
the home of one of his schoolboy
friends, he was asked whether he
would like his slice Of beef rare OF
well done.
"Why-I-think, stammered Fred
bashfully, and then with his usual
bright smile he said

The lands and houses, stocks and
mortgages which in the hour Of death
a parent bequeaths to his children are
liable soon to be scattered or wasted,
but the inheritance of a sound reli-
gious education, good bodily health,
noble aspirations and pure, stimulat-
ing parental memories is of imper-
ishable nature and of priceless value.
A thorough moral and intellectual
training, with a personal example Of
fidelity to Christ, is beqrest of
which any dying father may be
proud, and it is one which through
out the tiercest storms of life is likely
to yield the richest fruit. Selected

The Peculiar cause Of All the Children
Quitting the Old Home.

Quitting the Old Home.
They were talking about the deser-
ton of farms by the younger gener-
atoms for the alluring charms Of
the cities; how young men and wom-
en- left the home nest in the country
as soon as they felt any confidence
in themselves and focked to the
paved streets and brick walls Of ur-
ban life in the hope that work would
not be so hard and money would
come easier. sour family furnishes
case in point, " said a young Ger
man. We're all in the city now
except the old folks, who stick to the
farm, and are doing pretty well. Our
reasons for abandoning the farm,
however, were not those usually
given, and doubt if "a parallel case
can be found Then he told his
story:
With two brothers and three sis
tiers lie lived on farm 100 miles
from Chicago, and they all aided q
phlegmatic old fatherin operating the
place 1t was fine piece Of land, and
the family was happy and prosper
GUS But dark disaster came one day
in the shape Of a cabbage crop. The
Chicago market showed q strong de-
mand for saucrkraut, and the farmer
decided 10 90 in for profitable crop.
With the two boys he planted sew
eral acres in cabbage, with excellent
results The crop was cut up and
packed, and there were $50 barrels Of
the finest sauerkraut made.
Communicating with a friend i'll
the grocery business on the North
Side, the farmer received an order
for 10 barrels. A few days later the
grocer announced that the best he
could offer was 50 cents a barrel, the
top market price. The old man
couldn't stand such drop as that,
so he had the shipment returned
paying freight charges both ways
Purchasing 40 fine pigs, he began fat
tening them on his high grade sauer-
kraut. All went well for a few days,
but the porkers soon tired of the
diet AMI began to run from it The
pile grew high, and a few Of the
strongest pigs jumped the fence and
ran away, while others siekened and
grew weak from starvation.
Ii was puzzler for the old man,
but he was determined to derive some
benefit, and the boys logged the stuff
up to the orchard near the house,
where it was spread about as fer
tilizer. BY this time the entire fam
lily grew turbulent at the mere men
ton Of aauerkraut. and when the sun
poured its hot rays on the picked
cabbage the girls rebelled The farm
er was obdurate, and the three girls
packed their effects and came TO the
city. The kralt became so powerful
that even the old man could not
stand it, and the boys were instruct
ed to cart it down to a distant field
and spread it, The boys had been on
the verge Of mutiny several times,
and this settled it. They all lit out"
for Chicago and have been hero ever
since The girls are IN service, ard
once in a great while they all meet
with the lonely and disappointed old
Teuton on the farm. When it was
all over, the Chicago saHerkraut mar
ket went booming again Chicago

Why They Do 1t.

A we'll bred. man puts his hand over
his mouth when he yawns, but not
one well-bred man in ten thousand
knows why. The reason is this: Four
or five hundred years ago there was
superstition common in Europe that
the devil was always lying in wait to
enter mans body and take posses
sion of him. Satan generally went in
by the mouth, but when he had waited
reasonable time and the man did
not open his mouth the devil made
him yawu, and while his mouth was
open jumped down his throat. So
many cases Of this kind occurred that
the people learned TO make the sign
Of the cross over their mouths when
ever they yawncd in order to scare
away the devil. The peasantry in
Italy and Spain still adhere to this
method, but most other people have
dispensed with the cross sign and
keep out the devil by simply placing
the hand before che lips. 1t is most
remarkable survival of practice after
the significance has persisted.

A WISE MOTHER.

Her Social Duties Do Not Interfere with
Her Chndren's Pleasure.
A certain Western senator had two
sons, little fellows Q and IL years of
age, when he came to the capital two
or three years ago. Their mother had
devoted herself to their education and
pleasure almost exclusively; but here
she found thst the demands of society
would not permit her to give quite so
much time to them. So they were
sent to school, and often they had to
go to bed without the pretty story.
One evening the mother noticed that
the older boy seemed unusually grave.
She was making preparations to go
out to dinner He said:
Mamma, you are going out again?''
Eyes, my dear; mamma has to go.
She dislikes to leave you SO much, but
papa wants her. Go to bed. my dears,
and TO sleep; you won't miss me then"
Mamma" said he, with all the
gravity of a full-grovn man taxed to
the limit Of his Patience:
Mamma, how much longer is this
thing going to last? What is to- be-
come OF US il you neglec: Us SOP
The mother did not go ont ~ dinner
that night. She stayed at home, told
and read stories to the boys aud petted
them. The result was. and still is,
that the mother devotes all her Satur-
days to the youngsters. They visit
the art gallery, the museum, the cap
itol, the old houses ana the Zoo"
II enjoy it, w says, las much as
they do"

Alone He Saved Train Of Twelve Cars
From Destruction.
Rhode Island papers are bestowing
praise on William Eastman, whose
father was long the Free Baptist
preacher in the town of Parkmn,
Me. Mr.. Eastman is brakeman, and
not long ago freight tram on which
he was employed, and from which the
locomotive had been upcoupled to
allow it to run to its destination,
alone, broke in two, leaving Eastman
the only brakeman on fourteen cars,
which were headed straight for the
harbor in Stonington with prospect
of going overheard. Employees in the
yard shouted to Eastman to save him
self by jumping, but he stuck to his
post, braking one car after
another, until, in the short interval
allowed him, he had tighteued up the
brakes on half the train. AT the last
instant he sprang across to the top of
the caboose on the next track, and the
train he had just abandoned crashed
heavily into the bumper at the end of
the depot, and through the west wall
of the structure, the first car hanging
