Williamsport, Pa, Nov. 3.-Orien Mer-

unbroken section of timber.

the top of the mountain. He stopped
moment TO adjust his cycle lamp, when
he was startled by a piercing cry, almost
human in character. 1t appeared to come
from the bushy top Of a hemlock tree.
Merritt peered into this tree and saw
large catamount jump directly at him.
He lodged to one side Save for a small
pistol Merritt was unarmed, and when
the cat fiattened itself in the roadway
for another spring he fired a shot I'M the
air. He knew that small pistol ball,
even though he were to hit the animal,
would only make it the more vicious The
shot had the effect of frightening the cat
off. At a farmhouse a mile further on
Mr. Merritt was informed that two ex-
ceptionally ferocious catamounts were
known to stay in these woods. They
have killed several cows byrleaping onto
their backs from a tree and then biting
the helpless cattle in the throat.

which really felt / deserved. So I
crept up the dark stairway, and as l

happened He had heard the crash,
and if he hadn't, I guess my face

CHANGING again at father, / saw the
angry look die out of his eyes, and

| doubt not that he saw the same
look in my face then that I saw in
my child's face on that day in May.
In minute he had lifted me in his
arms and was hugging me close to
his breast. Then he whispered, o.,
so kindly, I can hear his voice now:
Never mind, little daughter, we all

you will take the small lamp when

1t seems pity that all girls can
not have the experience of one
clever young woman in society, who

Household Hints.

Pounded glass mixed with dry
cornmeal and placed within the
reach of rats, it is said, will Danish
them from the premises.
To set the color and prevent deli
cate colOred cambrics and IDENTITIES
from fading when washed, dissolve
8 cents worth of sugar of lead in a
pail of cold water, and soak the gar
ment in it two hours; then rense and
wash.
Brushes need daily baths and
daily air treatments, as we'll as their
owners. They should never be left
uncovered on the toilet table to coll
lect dust and germs. After they
have been used they should be
knocked on the back 30 dislodge any
dust that clings to them. Then they
should be placed on a window sill
for sun and air. Once a week they
should be dipped into a basin of
warm water and soda.
Cracks in the floor around the
skirting board on other parts of a
room may be neatly and permanently
filled by thoroughly soaking news
papers in paste made of pound of
flour, three quarts of water, and
tablespoon of alum thoroughly boil
ed and mixed. The mixture will be
about as thick as putty, and may be
forced into the cracks with Il knife.
1t will harden like papier ae0che,
and the floor will be smooth as when
new. Carpet moths do not like to
make their nests where salt has been,
and one may often get rid of them
by scrubbing the floor with strong
hot salt and water before laying the
carpet.

Little Deeds of Kindness.
Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love.
Make our earth an Eden,

Little deeds OF Kindness,
Little words of love.
Make our earth an Eden,
Like the heaven above"
SO the children sing, their fresh,
young voices rising clear as the
carol of birds. What profound
truth there is in the simple stanza.
The opportunities for great perform
ances come to US infrequently, and
to some they never come at all. But
every day in our own homes they
are the occasions for little deeds Of
kindness. The nicely prepared
meal, daintily served and set before
our loved ones, may be hallowed
and set quite out of the common, if
it be regarded as the offering of love.
The cup Of cold water has its own
blessing, if bestowed for Christ's
sake.
The letter answered promptly, the
sick one cheered, the flowers sent to
an aged mother, or invalid child,
the inopportune visitor pleasantly
received, and patiently borne with,
and the gentle word spoken; the
little story told to amuse a petulant
child, all come under the head of
those little deeds of kindness"
which make earth like heaven.
