sixty feet from the ground. One Of the
leg bones had fallen off, and the skele-
ton, which was wedged between the
limb and trunk OF the tree, had appar-
emily been there many years. The dis
covery may solve the my sterious dissp-
pearance of Andrew Norbi, q pioneer
settler who left his cabin seventeen
years ego and was never seen again.
Ryan believes that the skeleton is that

Kindness of the Death Angel.

If we could see what dying means to
our beloved one, we would not weep.
There is beautiful story of boy
whose young sister was dying. He
had heard that if he could secure but a
little leaf from the tree of life, that
grew in the garden of God, the illness
could be healed. He set out to find
the garden, and implore the angel SEN
tinel to let him have one leaf. The
angel asked the boy if he could prom
Use that his sister should never be sick
any more if his request was granted,
and that she should never be unhappy,
nor do wrong, nor be cold or hungry,
nor be treated harshly. The boy said
he could not promise. Then the angel
opened the gate little way, bidding
the child to look into the garden for a
moment. "Then, if you still wish it,n
said the angel, "I will myself ask the
King for leaf from the tree of life to
heal your sister," The child looked
in, and after seeing all the wonderous
beauty and blessedness, he said softly
to the angel. II will not ask for the
leaf now. There is no place in all this
world so beautiful as that. There is
no friend so kind as the angel of Death.
| wish he would take me, too"

Child Love For Mother.

Happy they whose first years have
been infolded in parental piety, who
begin their course i'm this world with a
religious atmosphere about them
taught as the beginning of ali instruct
ion and all decipline. Thank God if
you are so fortunate as to be g child of
many prayers. "Who cares for moth
er?" said boy one day to his sister,
who told him that mother wished him
to leave his play OH the sand and come
home. my boy,' SAID gentleman
who overheard the remark, "don't
speak thus. I despised my mother,
and took my own way, and broke her
heart. But, after her death, oh, what
would / have done to be able to
call her back ! was miserable until /
remembered how she taught me to
pray, and 1 cast myself on her God.
Oh, how much l owe to my mother
and her prayers w The boys eyes
kindled, and his voice trembled, as he
said, II will never speak lightly of my
mother again, sir: no never!"

what to Teach Girls.

Give your girls thorough education
not only in the schools, but in the
home; in work as we'll as in books.
Teach them to cook and prepare
food for the household, and food
which will not give them the dyspepsia
and ruin the health of those who eat
it.
Teach them to wash, to iron, to darn
stockings, to sew on buttons, and to
cut and make their own dresses, and
not have them so tight that they can
not draw a natural breath if it was to
save their souls.
Teach them to spend within their
income; to keep their accounts, to
know where their money goes, and to
have something to show for it.
Teach them to wear calico dress
that is paid for, with more comfort
than silk one for which they are still
owing the merchant.
Teach them how to purchase, and to
see that the amount of the bill tallies
with the purchase, and that the goods
are what they bought, and what they
were represented to be.
Teach them that good health and a
bright face is better than any cosmetic,
and that if they want fair compilations,
clear skins and rosy cheeks, they should
avoid tea, coffee, cocoa, and similar
drugs, and should dress loosely and
take out-of-door exercise.
Teach them good common sense,
self-help, and industry, which will
make them independent and useful.
Teach them that marrying a man
without principle, conscience or reli-
gion is like putting to sea without q
compass or chart or rudder.
Teach them, if you can afford it,
music, painting and other accomplish
mepts. but insist on a certain amount
of good reading daily. In reading
good books there is education, devel-
opment and often solace and comfort
for weary, lonely hours. The woman
who does not read will be likely to CAD
and gossip and make mischief every.
where. Teach girls to mind their own
business, and to avoid gossiping as
they would an infectious disease. A
gossip has perverted mind and an
empty head.
Finally, teach them that matrimonial
happiness depends, not on wealth nor
on appearance, but on good health,
good manners, good principles and
personal character.

Work for the Children

Work for men and women is good a;
but work for children is better. Sue
cess in winning adults to the right
way is to be rejoiced over but success
in winning children to q stand for the
right is a cause for greater rejoicing.
A child has larger possibilities than an
adult: and so far, there is more in him
prospectively. A child has fewer draw
backs-from bad habits and the weak
ness which comes of successive fail
nres-than an adult has and, SO far,
there is more hope of his continuance
in well-doing. These truths would
seem undeniable; yet how many pas
tors and preachers write ten sermons
and conduct ten prayer-meetings and
make ten pastoral calls with the idea
of reaching and influencing some
grown person where they do one ofthese
things with an eye to the children's
benefit. But perhaps-perhaps-this
is because they see it is more than ten
times as hard to reach an adult as a
child in religious things. There is
something in that.

Uncle Phil's Story.

"Tell US a story, Uncle Phil" said
Rob and Archie, running to him.
"What about ?" said Uncle Phil, as
Rob climbed on his right knee and
Archie on his left.
"Something when you were little
boy" said Archie.
Once when was a little boy" said
Uncle Phil, II asked my mother 10 let
Roy and myself 60 out and play by the
river"
"Was Roy your brother? asked
Rob.
mo but he was very fond of playing
with me. My mother said yes 80 we
went and had a great deal of sport.
After awhile I took a shingle for a
boat and sailed it along the bank. AT
last it began to get into deep water,
where couldn't reach it with stick.
Then told Roy to 60 and bring it to
me. He almost always did what |
told him, but this time he did not. L
began scolding him, and he ran To-
ward home.
"Then I was hungry. picked up a
stone and threw it at him as hard as L
could"
"Oh, Uncle Phil !" cried Archie.
"Just then Roy turned his head and
it struck him."
"Oh, Uncle Phil ~ cried Rob.
"Yes. He gave little cry and lay
down on the ground.
"But was still angry with him. /
did not 60 to him, but waded into the
water for my boat.
"But it was deeper than / thought.
Before 1 knew it ! was in strong cur
rent. I screamed as it carried me
down the stream but no men were
near to help me.
"But as I went down under the
deep waters, something took hold of
me and dragged me towards shore. 1t
was Roy. He saved my life"
"Good fellow! Was he your cousin ?"
asked Rob.
mo-" replied Uncle Phil.
"What did you say to him ?" asked
Archie.
II put my arms around the dear fel-
lows neck and cried and asked him to
forgive me-"
"What did he say >" asked Bob.

Making COildren Happy.

The rearing of children is q subject
which always has been and always will
he a source at much discussion. We
shall never arrive of the point when
the application Of labeled rules will
meet each days experience ; but there
are general principles which ought to
give definite aim to our government.
We assume that all good mothers wish
their children to be obedient, truthful,
intelligent, but do all teach them to be
happy? Some may say: "This is too
evasive a thing to be controlled, chill
dren are naturally happy" Thank
God, the dear little ones do start upon
life's pathway with hearts ready to
absorb all the sunshine that comes to
them, and now is the opportunity to
make their world SO rich, SO beautiful,
that its rays may stream over into ma
ture life, and carry with it some of the
freshness and enthusiasm that glad
dened childhood's days. No hardships
or trials can so paralyze the will or
make existence such a treadmill that
life is not worth living. We believe
that through the period of childhood
the heart and intellect can be so trained
and interests so multiplied that how
ever dark the days may be which fol-
low, the feeling will never come that it
is not worth while striving. AS to the
plan to be pursued in this education,
we would put first and above all the
force of example. Let the home at
mosphere be bright and cheerful, and
all disagreeable things kept in the back
ground. This will far outweigh all
desired teaching. Make your children
feel that you regard ill temper and
being cross very serious faults. and
making those about them happy the
right expression of a right spirit. The
cultivation of love for animals is an
important element in a child's educa-
lion. Nature in all it's varied forms
should be daily lesson, and impressed
upon the sensitive mind, will he
through life source ofjoy. Try to keep
them from looking upon their tasks as
disagreeable duties, and encourage
them to feel that there is. great satisfac-
ton in being useful. Children so
trained are the ones who push forward
and make a career of usefulness and
honor.
