RealIIng for Children.

This is big subject. II is larger
than Children's Days and Christ
mas festivals. Itenters into all edu-
cation. a reading book should be
filed with the very choicest pass
ages from the greatest authors; and
not a line by an inferior author
should be put into the pages which
children have to read over aud over
again, and out of which they are
drilled in voice and infection.
These things which children read
most when they are young form
their taste, are their literary stan
dards in lattor life. They cannot
escape them. Their memories should
be stored with the noblest, not the
poorest. The old Greeks had
Homer for their boys reading book,
and out of that they learned their
grammar and their rhetoric.

Old.Time Advice on MarrIage.

Lord BurIeigh's advice to his son
about marriage is qnaint and point
cd, if not very high toned. "From
marriage will spring all thy future
good or evil; and it is an action of
life like unto a stratagem of war;
wherein a man can err but once.
If thy estate be good, match near at
home and at leisure; if weak, far off
and quickly" He seems to advise
his son to perpetrate fraud on
some rich woman. He writes fur
thor: enquire diligently of her dis
position. Let her not be poor, how
ever generous, for a man can buy
nothing in the market with gentili-
ty. Nor choose a base and uncom-
ely creature altogether for her
wealth, for it will cause contempt
in others and loathing in thee.
Neither make choice of a dwarf,
nor fool; for by the one thou shalt
be father of a race of pigmies, the
other will be thy continual dis
grace, and it will yirke thee to hear
her talk. For thou shalt find to
thy great grief, that there is nothing
more fulsome than a she-fool."

ABig BIne Grass Family.

ga specimen of what kentucky
can do in the way of producing
stalwart sons and daughters, said
a proud native of the Blue Grass
country, 81 might mention the old
Joe Morrison family, of Bourbon
county. Anybody of the present
generation who ever lived in Ken
lucky will remember old Joe Nor
rison,s family. The family consisted
of Joe and his wife and six sons and
three daughters. Joe stood feet A
in his stockings, and weighed 21O
pounds. His wife was the same
height exactly, but she weighed 266
pounds. The oldest son, Tom, was
also 6 feet A, and he weighed 286
pounds. Jim topped his brother
Tom two inches in height, but he
wasn't as heavy by seventy pounds.
Their sister Sarah was slim girl,
weighing only 155 pounds, but she
could look over the heads of both
Tom and Jim, for she stood 6 feet
61 inches.
"But John was the big boy of the
the family. He only lacked an inch
of being seven feet high, and he
weighed 300 pounds. Sister Mary
was midget of six feet two, and
only weighed 149 pounds. Elijah
wasn't very tall, either, being the
same height as his sister Mary, but
he was of pretty fair height, tipping
the scales at 2I2. Mathew was six
feet two, also, and weighed 22O,
while Eli, standing six feet four
weighed less than 200. The young
est girl, Martha, was six feet three
and 16O pounds in weight. She
would undoubtedly have been the
giant of the family, for that was
her height and weight at the age of
IA. few weeks before she died.
When these measurements were
taken, few years ago, the family
was altogether, but since then old
Joe and his wife have died, and the
boys and girls were married and
scattered about the State. / don't
know what their progeny have
done to keep up the family reputa-
ton as TO size, but I'll bet on 'em to
keep up the record"

How the Old Horse TrareIal-


There was once a horse that used
10 pull around 4 sweep which lifted
dirt from the depths of the earth.
he was kept at his business nearly
twenty years; until he became old
blind, and too stiff in the joints to
be Of further use. So he was turn
ed into a pasture, or left to crop the
grass without any one to disturbe
or bother him. But the funny
thing about the old horse was that
every morning, after grazing a
while. he would start on tramp,
going round and round in circle,
just as he had been accustomed to
do for so many years. He would
keep it up for hours; aud people
often stopped TO look and wonder
wh;'t got into tho head Of the ven
cradle animal to make him walk
around in such a solemn way when
there was no earthly need of it.
But it was force of habit And the
boy who forms bad or good habits
in his youth will be led by them
when he becomes old, and will be
miserable or happy accordingly.
Think of that, young man, when
you want to light cigarette.

Room for All.

The woman who is fitted to SYM
pathize with the pursuits and inter
ests of husband will be equally
well fitted to adorn society and to
elevate its tone; nor will sho find
her gifts wasted. There is ample
field for the work of intellectual
women and of business women who
can give their time TO work outside
their own homes. There need be
no question of woman's sphere or
rights. The world needs workers
in its noblest fields-it matters not.
whether they be men or women,
married or single-there is room
for them all.
Let the girls make of themselves
the best they can; let the mothers
do their best in training them.
Then surely the well-balanced, con-
scientious, thoughtful young woman
will not need to think, until the
time comes for her to decide the
immediate question, whether she is
fit for wife or not.

1t is often in sorrow that our
lives are taught their sweetest songs,
says DIR. ]. R. Miller. There is a
story of a German baron who
stretched wires from tower to tower
of his castle, to make a great eolian
harp. Then he waited and listened
for the music from it. For a time
the air was still and no sound was
heard. Fheswires hung silent in
the air. After while came gentle
breeze, and the harp sang softly.
At length eame the stern winter
winds, strong and storm-like in
their forces. Then the wires gave
fourth majestic music which was
heard near and far. There are hu-
man lives that never, in the calm of
quiet days, yield the music that is
in them. When the breezes of COM
mon care sweep over them they
give out soft murmurings of song.
But it is only when the storms of
adversely blow upon them that they
answer in notes of noble victorious
ness. 1t takes sore trouble to bring
out the best that is in them.

Laughter has often dissipated
disease and preserved life by sud

lowed the whole, but found it such
a nauseons portion that, after many
strange and fantastic grimaces, he
ground his teeth in agony, and in a
violent fury threw the goblet on.the
floor. The whole affair was SO lu-
dicrous that the sick man burst into
repeated peals of laughter, and the
recovery of cheerfuiness led to
health.-Ne,o York Ledger.

Gratifying Appreciation.

The chief of a government bureau
was fattered recently by a request
from u ucitizen for ten copies of his
last annual report. The edition of
the report was exausted, but by
skirmishing- around among public
officials and personal friends the
bureau chief managed to secure the
ten copies desired and forwarded
them at once, with letter in which
he incidentally asked his corre-
spondent how it happened that he
was SO much Interested in that
special report.
The reply came, thanking the
bureau chief for his courtesy, and
closing with this explanation:

in the subject treated. of in your

which l find very convenient and
useful as a scrap book, and, as

moves into the village that he does
not find them out, to give them a
neighborly welcome, and offer them
any little service he can render. He
is usually on the lookout to give
strangers seat in his pew in the
church. lie is always ready to
watch with a sick neighbor, and
look after his affairs for him; and
I've sometimes thought that he and
his wife kept house plants in winter
just for the sake of being able to
send little bouquets to inyalids. He
finds time for a pleasant word for
every child he meets, and you'll see
them climbing into his one horse

Keeping Our PROMISES.

Many people promise anything
you ask of them, but make small
matter of keeping their promises.
They enter into engagements with
you to do this or that, TO meet you
or call on you at a certain time, or
to do some favor for you, and utter
y fail to fulfll their engagements.
This is very serious matter, this
lack of fidelity to promise and en-
gagements. Surely we ought to
keep seduIous watch over ourselves
in this regard. We ought to be
faithful to the promises we make,
cost what it may. 1t is a noble
thing when we find one whose
promises we are as sure of as Of the
rising of the sun; whose simplest
word is as good as his oath; who
does just as he says he will do at the
moment he says he will do it.
That is the kind of faitbfulness God
wants.
