A Soft Answer.

Said the wise man, "A soft answer turneth
away wrath" A lady who believed in this
precept said to her 7-year-old Nellie, who
is somewhat quick tempered, "lf one of
your playmates speaks rudely to you, re-
turn a soft answer" "Soft?" Yes Now
run along and play. Mamma is busy"
The child went out on the lawn, where a
neighbours boy was mending a kite. She
accidentally broke the kite still more,
whereby the boy was made angry. Il
don't like you. You're horrid thing" he
said. Little Nelle's eyes flashed, and she
was about to reply with very unkind re-
mark when suddenly recalling her moth
ers advice about soft answer she looked
the boy right in the eye and said meekly
and slowly, Mushp'-BoSton WomdR''

How to Make a Will.O'-the- Wisp.

OF course you know that a real will-o'-
the-wisp is the effect of hydrocarbon gas
generated by decomposing organic matter
in a marsh and in a state of combustion
But did you know that you could produce
this phenomenon in your homes? Take an
open mouthed glass jar and place some
baking soda in the bottom, over which pour
a little diluted sulphuric acid, muriatiC
acid or strong vinegar. Then the jar will
fill with carbonic acid gas.
Now lower a lighted candle into the gas
until it goes out, leaving the top of the
flame still burning upon the surface of the
invisible gas. The flame will be fed by the
gases coming from the smoldering wick
This ill-o'the-wisp lasts but short time
but it may be reproduced by raising the
candle until the wick relights, then lower
ing it again. In order to make a success OF
this experiment see that the air of the room

Goat Raising.

Goat raising is an important and
growing industry in Oregon and some
other northwestern states. One
rancher in Benton county, Oregon, has
a fine herd of $50 goats, which includes
number of thoroughbred Angora
bucks. Twenty-Five cents pound is
the lowest this man has received for a
fleece in dozen years, while frequently
he has received thirty to thirty. five
cents a pound. The average yield
from a goat is about four pounds, but
eight to ten pounds is frequently OBJ
tanned from high-grade goats. The
goats are not only valuable for Their
fleece but in clearing off land, as they
subsst largely on brush and weeds.

A Burning Shame.

That there wasn't saucier rebel
In all the sunny South,
Twas easy to tell by the mlschievous eyes
And the smile of her roguish mouth.
But how she hated the Yankees,
She couldn't bear the name;
How dared they come and whip us;
1t was burning shame"
One OF those self.same Yankees
Came to her Dixie one day,
And ere the week was over
She'd stolen his heart away.
But how should she treat her captive?
He couldn't be shot, you know,
Because the war was ended
Two dozen years ago.
So in order to keep him prisoner
The rest of his life instead
She reckoned she'd have to marry him, tho

And babe me happy cheer.

Meath cover cold and dark,
But I longed for the sunshine,

Just seemed to call and beckon
In a voice that flowers hear,
