1t is now in order for the calamity
bowler to take a back seat and give
way to the conservative class whose
mission is the public good. With the
going into effect of the wooden sched-

a flood of foreign-made cloth, as pre-
dicted by the opposition would be the
case, but on the other hand, the ma
ufacturers of the United States are
greatly increasing their wool pur-
chases, and as a result the prices OF
that product are steadily advancing.
Read what the American Wool and
Cotton Reporter, of Boston. VIII say
this morning:
Boston, Mass, Jan. 23.-The Amer

say tomorrow of the wool trade:
Nearly three and a half million
pounds Of wool have been sold this
week. There is a, Visible improvement
in breadth of demand An improved
feeling is quite manifest. Manufaef
tuners are taking right along moderate
quantities Of various kinds of WOOL
according to the kind of fabric they
are making. When one considers that
in January, 1895. importations Of for
eign cloths include three months con-
sfgnmentS delivered in one month, and
that the bulk Of it and description Of
it thus far is not such as to confirm
the apprehension expressed last fall
concerning the effect OF these goods
being brought into competition svtth
our domestic manufactures, the out
look is most promising.
Except for fine woods, which are not
IN q demand for
domestic continues in about the same
degree as in the last quarter Of 1894.
There has been recently more call for
territorial wool than hitherto since
the middle of December. Pulled wo6fs
have had another good week, the
price Of some grades having mate
rally strengthened since last writings
Australia has sold well and there Gle =

The sales Of the week amount to

THINGS TO FoRGET.-If you
would increase your happiness, and
prOlong your life, forget your neigh
boris faults. Forget all the ISLANDERS
you have ever heard. Forget all the
temptations. Forget all the fault
finding, and give little thought to
the cause which provokes it. For
get the peculiarities of your friends
and only remember the good points
which made you fond Of them. For
get all personal quarrels or histories
you may have heard by accident,
and which, If repeated, would seem
thousand times worse than they
are. Blot out, as far as possible, all
the disagreeables of life they will
come, but they will only grow larger
when you remember them, and the
constant thought of the acts of
meanness, or worse still, malice,
would only tend to make you more
familiar with them. Obliterate
everything disagreeable from yester.
day start out with a clean oheet foI
today, and write upon it for swee,
memory's sake only those things
which are lovely and lovable.

Teddy's Lesson.

"Come, Teddy" said Mrs. West,
"it's time for the cows to come
hOme."
But Teddy wss reading a story
about shipwreck, and did not want
to be disturbed just then.
"Oh, mother, wait little while" ,"
he said.
A little later, Hester came to the
door.
"Teddy, you ought to get the
cows" she said.
Bother the cows !" replied Teddy
Grossly, and his sister went away.
Soon a mans face appeared at the
window.
Edward, the cows 20 said Mr..
West; and when his father spoke
like that, Teddy lost no time in obey
ing.

walked through the kitchen, where
his mother and sister were cooking
supper and his father was piling up

as he walked slowly across the pine
floor. "They're bother, and
wish we didn't have any. | wish
nobody had any. Cows are no good
anyway; just in the way. l hate
cows -
An hour later the cows were safe
in the barn for the night, and Teddy
was in a better humor. He was
hungry, too, after the walk TO the
meadow and back in the fresh brac
ing air.
A fine round of meat was smoking
on the table, but there was none or
Teddy's plate.
"This is beef" said Mr.. West
e. did not give you any because you
hate cows, Teddy"
Teddy opened his mouth and ther
closed it again without saying {
word.
81 won't give you any butter
Teddy" said Mrs. West, because
we get our butter from the cows
and you hate them So"
Hester poured out the milk fol
the other children, but to Teddy sht
gave glass of water.
Cows are such O bother" sht
said soberly. 81 know you dom
want any milk"
Teddy looked wistfully at tn,

to every one but him. But, Wors
Of all, when the custards wer,

by.

Teddy looked as if he would cry.
"I-I haven't had anything +

SWEETS FOR N.-There
seems to be decided difference of
opinion among the modern hygien-
lists on the subjects of sweets for
children. Some contend that they
crave them, and should not be de-
prived Of them in moderate quan-
titles, at proper times, and of ap-
proved excellence. Others frown at
the idea in any presentment of it.
Such even assert that the candy
habit leads later i'm life often to the
alcohol habit.
Children find it a great hardship
to be deprived of their candy, more,
undoubtedly, because those who are
feel themselves set apart, and
abused to some extent. Mothers
who insist that there should be no
nibbling of the attractive sweets be-
tween meals, reward this abstemi-
business by providing pure, usually
home made, candies for dessert, fire.
quently enough, as one mother put
1t, "not to think that they don't
have it," At a girls school, the
pupils have been persuaded to give
up the munching habit through the
week by having a generous supply
Of tho most delicious bonbons served
to them as Sunday desert.

SAM JONES ON MAsoNRY-Re
Sam L. Jones had been preaching in
st. Louis. On the evening of March
9Th he delivered a sermon which
was reported in full i'm the st. Louis
Globe Democrat from which we take
the following extract: " Before
was ever a Christian / learned one
thing, and l want you to hear this.
] Was away from home and l was
robbed on a train. 1 had all the
money / and my friend both had.
He didn't have any and they got
mine; and we got off at a station.
That was when / was a sinner, and
that was twenty-five or twenty
six years ago. He was a steward in
the Methodist Church, and | was
just plain, common, simple sinner a;
that is all was. When we got off
at the station we stayed around there
moment or two. He says, Sam,
| wonder If there is Mason in this
town.? l said "A Mason?' He said
Yes Well / said, what do
you want with Mason p He says,
] can get some money if | can find
MasOn.' | said, 'Ain't you a
Methodist?' He said, 'Yes.' l said,
why don't you go to the Metho-
dists p 'Oh, shucks,' he said, |
will 60 to the Masons.' And he
struck out, and after very few min.
utes came back, and l said, How
did you come outp 'All right he
said, | got it, who did you get
it from?' From Mason he says
Sam, if you want to go to heaven,
you join the Methodists, but if you
want hold down here, join the Ma.
sons So when started in, joined
both, and tonight / am a Methodist
and Mason, and | am getting along
well for both worlds"

month of February, 1866, was in one
respect the most remarkable months
in the worlds history. 1t had no
full moon. January of that year

but February had none. Do you re-

was? 1t had not occurred since the

sauceIs and a card, upon which was
pinned house centipede or 4" "thOu-
sand legs" requesting me to copy

hostess noticed that none Of the
guests drank their tea that the de
