A Legend of Moses.

Bathia, tho daughter Of Pharaoh, was
not satisfied with merely having saved tho
child Moses. She determined to make him
her adopted son and took him to live with
her in the palace. On one occasion, while
he was still toddling child he narrowly
escaped being put to death. The princess
brought him to the presence chamber,
where Pharaoh sat in friendly, informal
council with the maleyolent Balaam, and
took her seat by her royal father, placing
the child upon her knee.
Attracted by the glitter of tho crown,
the infant Moses stretched out his arms
for 1t, and the great king, taking it from
his own head, placed 1t on the baby brow
of the future lawgiver. Tho child toycd
with it for time, and then threw 1t on
the ground and stamped upon it. Tho
royal circle was seized with CONSERVATION.
1t was the age Of portents and auguries.
OF what might not such an act be omi-
nousP From Balaam, malignant in mind
as distorted in body, came counsel prompt
and grim.
The act, he said, was, despite tho child's
tender age, fraught with significant in.
tent. If Pharaoh would reign in peace,
he must slay the sacrilegious infant. For
tunately for Moses, Pharaoh-to employ
the language of tho law reports of our own
day-"took time to consider his decision, !"
and to assist him thereto convened full
souncil At this council Jethro success
fully defended the unconscious child, who
was fated to become his son-in-law.-All
the Year Round.

WOMEN IN FRANCE.
They Are Not Only the Stronger but tho
Better Half In That Country.

They Are Not Only the Stronger but tho
Better Half In That Country.
Women are the stronger as well as the
better half of France. They do every
thing but build houses The best inspect
or in the French custom house is a wo-
man. She is in the Havre Office, and she
has a nose that can detect dutiable goods
without opening lock. She is naturally
amiable and slow to anger, but woe to
the foreigner or countryman who pro-
vokes her ire.
There is no Sadder spectacle in the re-
public of France than the women shoe
polishers, who doze under the sheds of
the markets and quay, one eye shut and
t'other fixed on the bootbox over the
way, patiently waiting for trade, They
ask 3 cents and accept 3 cents for their
unwomanly work.
At Thiers, the blacklist town in
France, the women sit outside of the
grimy little machine shops mating scis-
sor blades and polishing knife and scis-
sor handles. The stream that turns the
10000 little mill wheels is blacker than
the Chicago river, and as the furnaces
never burn without belching the toilers
and their devoted lifelong apprentices
are sometimes Malay and sometimes
Mongolian, but seldom Caucasian in
color.
Not long ago a college woman went
down to Thiers to teach school for the
winter. The promise of sxs7upils was
temptation, but on reaching the colony
of SCOT begrimed and smoke stained
smithies she found that the position
paid SIS month, and the teacher was
expected to furnish the fuel for the win
ter. Philadelphia Times

Sweet Peas.

Whether sweet peas can be success
fully planted in autumn depends largely
on the latitude, says Garden and For
est. In the southern states fall plant
ing is necessity, for this is the only
way to give the plants a cool soil in
which to make a strong, early root
growth. Coming farther north, fall
planting is safe up to perhaps the lati-
tude of Washington, where the chances
are about equal between planting in late
autumn and in February. In southern
California peas must be brought into
bloom as early as February, although
the nights are SO cool there that they
may be planted during any month in
the year. The rule observed by the
large seed growers is to plant just ahead
Of the rainy season. Indeed they have
acres of volunteer sweet peas-that is,
from seed which were scattered on the
ground during the harvest--and 45
miles south of San Francisco these vol
unteer plants are in bloom by the LIST of
May and often early in April.

The Man With Reputation to Sustain

When the man with q reputation to sus-

the far end of the clubroom, he found that
the talk had drifted around to the subject
of training, and he listened with profound
interest to several stories, all of which went
to show what persistent effort could do in
any particular direction. He was good
listener, and his habit of invariably giving
every one else chance before he entered
the argument always gave him an immense
advantage and enabled him to sustain his
well earned reputation.
"Yes, " he said meditatively, when Bob

HAvERHILL, N. H.-Many physi-
clans have pronounced as incurable,
diseases of the skin and blood. Mrs,
Hodsdon OF this place abandoned the
old method used DR.. Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy and was cured.
In October, 1890, Mrs. Hodsdon
suffered from diseased ankle bone.
She had always been troubled with
Salt Rheum which aggravated the
diseased limb. Prescriptions of all
sorts were used. but with no benefit.
DIR. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy was
tried and it drove the poison out of
her blood, healed the ulcerous sores,
and restored Mrs. Hodsdon to health
and strength.
Favorite Remedy cleases the blood,
and strengthens the nerves. In cases
of scrofula and salt rheum, it never
fails.
