she did not seem to remember me, SO |

Indeed? ?" replied the other, "that

So two persons with mutual !ikings

rudeness to each other and to their
common friend.
"Did you notice how Mary Case put

Thus innocent remarks are built out
into contrary meanings; absent-mind-

feelings and aching secrets and dis
guised jealousie5 are fOndled aud fos-

thinks it is nightly abused, and prides
itself on its own tragic susceptibility:

the case for trial, and the four contest.
ants, relatives of Mr.. Hand. have
withdrawn. The estate amounting tC
about S400, 900, will therefore soon be
distributed. OF this the American
Missionary Association will receive
about $500, 0N0 very soon, and the re-
naming 500, 600 later in reversion, the
income of these sums to be used for
the education OF the freedmen at the
South.
Daniel Hand Of Gulliford, Conn.
the teStatOr died about two years ago,
when more than 80 years old. He left
a will, the most Valuminons that has
ever been brought into a Connecticut
Probate Court. consisting of ninety-siN
pages Of closely written legal cap,
with fourteen codicils attached, which
the testator had let remain partly 70"
the purpose Of protecting the will in
case of contest, as, under the law, each
codicil had to he attacked separately.
The contest was brought on the
ground of his incompeiency to make Il
will. Governor Morris, as Mr.. Hands
executor, Ex-Governor Ingersoll and
John w. Alling, all Of this city, con.
iucting the defence. A great mass of
letters written by Mr.. Hand III old
age had been gathered by Governor
Morris, copied by typewriter. and
were to be introduced at the trial to
show the testator's competency.
During life and six years ago Mr..
Hand made gift of more than a
million dollars TO the American Mis-
sionary Association for the Southern
freedmen. The nucleus of that sum
was $3.50, ,000 left by Mr.. Hand at the
outbreak of the war with his old husi-
ness partner, G.. w. Williams. of
Charleston, S. G.. who more than
twenty wears after the war repaid the
sum with interests and profits. 1t was
the singular and almost idoliZed hon
esty of Mr.. Williams in the transac-
ton which suggested to Mr.. Hand
the return Of the sum to the south as
gift to the freedmen, and TO that
great gift 100000 will soon be added
by his will, making 81 100000 alto
gether.
Ina suit of J. H. Cook, lawyer,
against the estate, demurrer to his
complaint has been sustained on a
technacality by Judge Wheeler, in
the Superior Court. Cook sued for
S25, 900, which he averred Mr.. II an
had promised to bequeath to him 70

Aluminium cooking utensils all

Aluminium cooking utensils and
articles Of table wear begin to be dis
played by house-furnishing shops.
There are frying pans, pepper boxes,
chatting dishes, ladies', tunnels, and
many other utensils, large and small.
\ frying-pan of large size costs So
which is pretty high for frying pan.
The smaller articles are not greatly
above the price of like-well made ar
ticles of other ware. Medium-sized
tunnels, for example, cost IS cents.
The advantage of aluminium utensils
over most others is that they weigh
almost nothing, and are not subject to

The foot ball war is over for this year,
let us hope, never to re-appear again
in the form in which it has existed
during the last season. A sport that
has become so deadly as to kill more
than Il score and half of boys in the
two countries where it is played and
which furnishes an almost irresistible
temptation to betting and various forms
of rowdyisln has certainly passed the
limit of reasonable federation, if it can

be forwarded to the Township Board OF As
SCISSORS by or before March 9th they will then
have until March l2th for examining the re
turns. Try and forward the returns TO this of
flee by the 10Th or 18th OF March. It ia clearly
the duty of this Board to scrutinize each re.
turn carefully and to see that each item OF
property listed thereon is assessed al its true
market value. There Is no rule to return
property at 662s per cent. OF its actual value.
Where parties are suspected Of having credits
above their Indebtedness or any other charac-
ter Of property that does not appear on their
sworn return, It Is the duty Of the Board to
enter such property or report the case TO the
Auditor for invest igation.
This Is also the year for the reassessmeut OF
real estate. I hope the Board will see to It
that land is assessed at It's true market value.

change in the return Of an individual be sure
and notify the party. 80 that he may have the

4 Book which Esery BOY and Girl
Must Write.

"Mother," said little Charlie, "Wil
Hardin say his mother writes books
"Does she ?" said mother, and then
she went on sewing and forgot Charlie,
who was trying to stand on his head.
Mother" said Charlie presently, "is
it very hard to write book ?' 49,
81 don't know, Pm sure" said
mother.
"I'm going to write book" said the
small man in petticoats. Just then
the door bell rang, and Charles moth
er went to see a caller. When she
came back her little boy was sitting on
her foOtstoOl, busily writing ina hand
some book, but as he wrote with 4
slate. pencil it did not do the book any
harm.
Now, mother" said her little boy,
"I'm done my book"
"No," said his mother thinking Il
little while, "you are not near done.
God has given you book to write. j
hope it is q big, long one, full Of beau
tiful stories"
"What is the name of my book ?"
he asked, coming closer to her.
ats name is Charles life : you
can only write one page day, and
you must be very careful MOTTO make
any black marks in it by doing ugly
things. When you pout and cry that
smears your page, and when you help
mother aud keep a bright face and
don't quarrel with Reddy, that makes
a nice, fair page with pretty pictures
on it."
"And when will I he done writing
that book ?n asked Charlie.
when God says you book is long
enough" answered mother, "he will
send his angel to shut its covers, and
put clasp on it until the great day
when all our life books shall be open
ed and read"
Charlie sat very quiet awhile, and
then said, softly: "Dear little Lucy
finished writing her book when they
put her in the white casket, and laid
the white roses over her"
"Yes," said his mother cher life
book was just little hymn of praise
to God its pages were clean and white
no stains on them"
Charlie looked up, and saw two
fall on mothers work, but
they were bright tears, and a bright
smile came with them.

The Duty of Sleep.

The sleeping room is natures repair
shop, the place of recuperatlon and
renovation. There are persons who
sometimes tells us that some great
man, such as Napoleon Bonaparte,
only slept four or five hours i'll twenty
four. But Napoleon Bonaparte was a
poor example to follow. His restless
spirit kept the worldin an uproar a
good share of his life, he was broken
in health long before he was defeated
in uattle, and finally, fretted and
chafed in his captivity, he died aged
tifty-three, long before he had reached
the allotted age of man.
fla man would last, he must rest.
IF he would make his life calm and
strong, glad and useful, he should
have abundant sleep, and to obtain 1t
he should avoid late hours, and should
especially avoid stimulants. The man
who takes anything TO keep himself
awake is making great mistake, aud
is preparing himself for future trou-
bles. a man who keeps awake with
stimulants now will be trying to put
himself to sleep with chloral by and
by. \ woman who drinks strong tea
to keep himself awake will by and by
be taking opium to benumb her senses
that she may get little rest.
One of the great hindrances to sleep
is Il restless anxiety about things 10
come. There is so much to he done
that some people feel that they can
hardly take time to sleep; but six.
seven, or eight hours of good, solid
sleep, begun at nine O'Clock at night,
is much better preparation for hard
days work than any amount OF mid
night toll or restless tossing upon the
bed in the watches of the night.
1t is matter Of duty for persons
who fear God and serve Him TO see to
it that they have their sleep. They
must not be cheated out of it; they
must not be harassed until sleep for
sukeS their eyes they must rather
bid their cares depart, and commit
soul aud body, business and estate,
friends and foes, to the care OF u low
ing Father. They must make it their
business to sleep.
There is nothing more favorable tn
healthful slumher than the peace of
God that passcth understanding.
With that peace we can lay ourselves
down and sleep, and awake because
the Lord sustains Us. And we ciin
Drove how vain it is for men to RE
up early, and sit up late, and eat tine
bread of sorrOws, and strive and
struggle to gain those things which
God is willing TO give, and which He
gives His beloved while they are
asleep. Our heavenly Father is able
to do exceedingly abundantly above
our utmost thought.
Lie down and sleep, then, o chill
dren of the Most High ! Let sorrows
and doubts and fears bc gone. Cast
Off the restlessne>s and wcarints'
which has disturbed your souls, and
let the peace of God which passetl
all understanding keep your hearts
and minds through Jesus Christ oul
Lord.
