PIaythings For Animals.
[olive Thorne Mile

To make him thoroughly happy, a
bird in house needs some amusement.
He pines for something to interest him
and, like a child kept in, he should be
provided with playthings. A pet paro-
quet that | once knew, though he had
the freedom of his masters house, was
furnished with a small basket of play
things, a bunch of keys, a bit of chain
a spool or two, few marbles and other
things. The bird knew as well as any
child that the basket and its contents
were his and he made great row if
any one touched them. Many times a
day he got down his basket and amused
himself an hour at a time with his
treasures.
Another bird-a parrot-had to be en-
tertained every day; and, if people were
busy and he was neglected, he helped
himself to playthings. A favorite object
was spool Of thread, from which he
cut the contents with his sharp beak,
and then demolished the spool. A lead
pencil or pen handle to bite and reduce
to splinters was acceptable; and, in
deed, he could amuse himself with all
most anything, and. when he was not
supplied with stock of his own, he
was always in mischief.
A thrush I once had used to amuse
himself with the hanging fringe of a
towel laid over chair. He would run
al it, try to pull out the threads, and,
holding by the beak, swing back and
forth with great relish.
A crumpled newspaper laid on the
floor is often source of pleasure; also,
ball that rolls easily, as marble.
A string is the delight of most birds;
but it is dangerous, for they are apt to
tangle it around their legs, and brighten,
if not hurt, themselves. Moreover, some
birds will swallow a string, and suffer
until they throw it up.
All this may be accomplished with &
bird, without making him what is called
tame; that is, so much at home Gat he
will come at your CALL alight on you
freely, take food from your lips and let
you stroke or handle him.

ONE OF LAMBS ESSAYS.
The "Confessions of a Drunkard' He
Finally Suppressed.
From the London Athenaeum.l

An interesting manuscript of Charles
Lambs has recently come into my pos
session, which 1 have reason to believe
has been lost sight of for many years,
viz, his essay entitled 1.-The Confessions
of Drunkard.'' Eight years after its
first appearance in print an attack was
made upon the author, based on this es-
say, causing him considerable annoy
ance, and in all probability regret that
he ever penned it. 1t led in the words of
one of his biographers, to "his appearing
for the first and only time of his life
before the public as an assailant." In
volume entitled "Some Inquiries into the

Some New Years Thoughts.

Since my last letter to THE TnrEs the Old Year has passed away with its joys and sorrows; the bright. happy New Year
 has come. holding in her hands glad prom
 ises for the future. Hope so aluring.
 yet how often so deceitful, accompanies
 her and ever whispers to us, "be sp and
 doing for the future heids msch for you. Yet, the Old Year has its sweet memo
 ries and lessons of love and happiness.
 There is a tlnge of sadness, perhaps, blended with the memory of is joys. yet
 the slight pain makes the pleasure great CT, for like strains of sSseetes; music with a softly pulsing undertoAe of sadness, its memories will go with us down the stream of 1 iiRe, and at last will sing for us sad sweet requiem. Let lis then. net mourn its loss. nor grieve over its departed hopes. Let Us look byavely into the future. boldly meet the present, and grasp tightly all the good that presents itself. sustained by sweet hope, and strengthened by the adyersities
 of the past.
 Tbough years shah roll my treassres To the store-house of the past ! And meath its rubbish bury them Their memory still shall last. And often when I wander though Its misty winding ways, My feet Rayhap will stumble o'er Some hope of other days. And shall I. then. in sadness, brood Der what was once so dear, And mourn because the years hase left But shadows faint and drearf Oh. no. each coming year will hsfng New joys Into my life. New hopes will buoy my soul above Regrets for grief or strife. My heart will feel but pslde and love As into the past il reaches; Each memory. tbeB. will be more dear For the lesson tssst il teaches. c. T.

 Joseph Thompson who lives a few miles south of Goodwin was badly hurt about two weeks ago. He is improving slowly.
 There is considerable sickness in the neiehberhood of Goodwin. Grts is the prevailing disease and in several instances has proved fatal.
 Fhe year 1898 with its joys and sorrows is finished. and numbered with the past Memory fingers along The ways of tAle Old Year. It brought us monetary disturban- Ices, financial failures and poverty to the homes of many. These who have been prosperous will think of 1t with pleasure. others whose prospects have been ruined. will view it with a feeling Of sadness. It is wisdom to haaisii fruitless regrets, and give thanks for the blessings we have Let our experiences prepare us for the fu- .ture battles of life Yes another veal is added to the book of time. Ms,y who en- ter into the year 1894 with us will go st,e way whence they shall not retufn before another year is ushered in. So let us all lead better lives, let us bear one another's $ burdens. let ss remember fafsh. hope and charity. and thac the greatest of these is charity.

Popular Euerywh ere.

Beginning with small local sale in a retail drug store, the business of Hoods Sarsaparilla has steadily increased until there is scarcely a village or hamlet in the United States where 1t is. unknown. To-day Hoods SarsapariIla stands al the head in the medicine world. admired in prosperity and envied in merit by thou sands of would-be competitors. It has a larger sale than any other medicine before the American public, and probably greater than all other sarsaparilla and blood puIi- iers combined.
 Such success proves merit.
