The Old Man.

There is no regret upon the part of
the aged in the direction that many
young people think. The old man is not
worried about his age. He is not un-
happy in the thought that the sunny
side Of life is behind him and that every
sep now means further descent Of the
hill into the valley He is rich in OK
perience that he prizes; enjoys the his
tory that has been made during his life;
rejoices in family associations that can
come only to the mature and does not
shrink from the near approach Of the
inevitable, death. He is as happy in life
and its enloyments as younger men can
possibly be. Yet thousands and millions
Of old men suffer from the pangs OF
regret 1t ia regret over the fact that
in their younger life, their opportunities
were not fully improved Youth is care

procrastinates. 1t is ambitious, but post

Cheating the Treasury.

Frauds on the redemption division Of
the treasury are constantly being tried.
What are called drawer scraps" are
presented almost every day with demands
for new money in exchange. These are
tOrn-off fragmants Of notes which are
found in tills and cash drawers. A young
man employed in a New York bank once
sent in boxful Of them, claiming 5000.
They were the result OF many sweepings
carefully accumulated. Unfortunately
they represented $1,000 or more, if any
thing, and the youth was lucky to escape
prison. An Ohio woman not long ago
mailed to the treasury q number Of
rolled-up pellets Of paper, which she
said represented q five-dollar note torn
up by a child. The pellets were straight
ened out and found to be thirteen
center strips cut lengthwise from as
many five-dollar bills. It is hardly neces-
sary to say that the woman got nothing
In return. People seem to think that
Uncle Sam is precious green; at the same
time the redemption division does get
cheated now and then, undoubtedly.
Late in the year 1892 it was discovered
in the redemption division that the full
number of $500 notes of the series OF
1874 had been redeemed. Nevertheless,
notes OF this series were still coming in
for redemption. At first it was thought
that there had been an overissue by
some strange mistake. Accordingly ell
Of these notes from that time on were
withheld from the customary destruction
and their numbers we're registered for

Every Mother Ought to Know

That during the first year the average
gain in weight Of q healthy baby is
rather more than twelve pounds, and in
height eight or nine inches.
That, in the case of delicate children,
they derive great benefit from being
gently and thoroughly rubbed all over
particular attention should, however,
be given TO the spine directly after the
morning bath.
That child is impressed by and un-
consciously initiates the individual who
has charge Of him; hence the great i'm
portance Of selecting a suitable person
as nurse.
That children should, from an early
age, be taught to walk properly, so that
they may not only grow up graceful, but
derive the utmost amount Of good from
this most valuable form Of exercise.
That il child has reached the age Of
one year without cutting any teeth,
there is good reason to suspect that he
is being improperly nourishsd, and
medical aid should be summoned, so that
rickets may, il possible, be prevented.

The Fear Of Thunder,

Electric storms are far less dangerous
than the majority Of people imagine" :"
writes Edward w. Box in June Ladies'
Home Journal. "That severe light
ming storm is terrifying admits Of no
question, and will sometimes bring un-
easiness to the heart Of the strongest
man. But the real danger is slight.
The chance Of lightning striking house,
for example, is not one in a million.
Particularly is this true in cities, strung
as most Of them are with electric wires.
The greater danger from electric storms
is in the country, and even there the
danger may be lessened il the simplest
and most COmmon-sense Of precautions
are exercised. The surest electric con-
ductor is a draught, and if, when thun.
der-strom approaches, it is seen that all
windows and doors liable to occasion a
draught are kept closed, the danger Is
at once reduced to minimum. II q
woman is caught out in thunder
storm the safest shelter is a house; the
most dangerous tree, particularly an
oak tree. 1t is peculiar, but neverthe-
less proven, fact, that the oak is the
most susceptible Of all trees to a current
OF electricity. Over 80 per cent. Of trees
struck by lightning storms during one
summer, the government statistician
tells US, were oaks, while the beech tree
was the least harmed. Therefore, the
worst possible place of shelter in an
electric storm is under an oak tree,
while by all odds the safest place is in
house and out Of draught.
The actual danger (from an electric
stormy is, in truth, not from the light
ming nor the thunder, but from the
nervous condition into which women
allow themselves to fall. And this is
danger which they can avoid. A little
calm thought and few grains of COM
nonsense will do it,"

The Care Of the Birds.

This is the season Of the year to take
care Of the birds. They are rearing their
little families, and to rob nest is to be
a robber Of the worst sort, because birds
cannot defend themselves, and until
lately there was no law to protect them.
See how industrious they are. A thrush
Is said to work nineteen hours in order
to supply it's little family with food, and
during this time it feeds it's young two
hundred and sixty-six times. Blackbirds
work seventeen hours, and the busy
titmouse spreads four hundred and
seventeen meals day for its hungry
children. Their food consists largely
Of caterpillsrs. They are the farmers
best friends. Therefore let us do what
we can to save the small birds from be-
ing robbed or killed. Our Dumb AMI.

The Eeignlng Of Death by Animals.

The habit of fsigning death for the
sake OF protection can be observed among
many Of the lower animals, animals
which differ widely in family, genus,
and species. Indeed this habit is to be
observed in creatures microscopic in size
and OF exceedingly low organization, as
we'll as in those as high in the scale of
animal life as man himself; for even man
does not hesitate, on occasions, to avail
himself Of this natural subterfuge when
he thinks it will aid in the preservation
Of his life.
With the aid OF the microscope one can
observe and study the natural history
Of the minute animal world which other
wise would remain q closed and unread
volume. This instrument has shown me,
beyond cavil, that creatures az low IN
the scaleas 0ctiDophgy0NS, very minute,
microscopic animalcules, practice death
feigning when surprised by an enemy
from which they cannot otherwise escape.
Thus, have repeatedly seen actin
