work of an incendiary seems irresista-
BILE. The fire started in an amused shed
which was unlocked. The story is
current that quantity of unslaeked
lime was kept on there but Messrs.
Hemenway and White persistently
deny this. There was no lime on tho
premises. The roof of this shed leak
ed and every thing on the inside was
thoroughly wet so spontaneous COM
bustion was out out of the question.
Some of these who were first at the
fire assert that the odor of kerosene
was noticeable. Not person in the
hotel was up when the fire broke out
SO it couldn't be laid to careless en-
ployees. No moro fortunate time
could have been selected for the
burning of this building without
damage to the rest of tho town as
the heavy rains had thoroughly soak
ed everything and the wind when
the fire was first discovered was from
the west but soon changed TO the
south, fact which the incendiary
probably had not figured on, 1t is
hard to think that there is man in
our community SO degraded as to
willfully apply the torch to property
which is a public benefit to the town
and endanger human lives merely to
retaliate for some real or fancied in
jury, but the circumstances in con-
necGon with this fire are such that
nearly everyone is forced to this con
clusion. The question now is, who is
he. Ii the proprietors have any sus-
picion they keep it to themselves.
-, MessrS Hemenwav g. White are
Undecided about rebuilding. They
have conducted the most popular no
tel in town and their business has
steadily increased from the very be-
ginning. They kept just such a no
tel as the town needs and it's des
truction is not only severe loss te
them but a great damage to the town

children come home from school. 1t
would show an undue regard for
sentiment if she were to shut herself
away from the outside life which
every woman needs so much, and
which she needs especially for the
benefit of her family. But by follow
ing this rule-to tell the children in
the morning, whenever she can, just
where she is to be and how soon she
will be at home--she may keep alive
and still foster, though absent, the sa-
cred flame which she so highly prizes.
A lady was calling recently upon
friend, when small boy came
bounding in at the basement
door about four o'clock in the after
noon with the usual inquiry, Where
is mother?" 20, remember" he
added, Immediately, "she said she
was going to the mothers meeting
this afternoon. | wish she would
hurry up and come back"
"She didn't CO." said the good
uatured Irish girl to whom he had
been speaking; "she had word there
wouldn't be any meeting"
20, goody!" cried the urchin,
leaping up the stairs two at a time
and bursting into the room where
the ladies were sitting. His face was
wreathed in smiles-but his shoes
were muddy.
20, Tommy!" exclaimed his
mother, in a reproachful voice, as
she pointed to the tracks he had left
behind him.
well, / was glad you were home"
he explained, as he saluted her visi-
tor in boyish fashion and imprinted
a resounding kiss upon his mothers
cheek. I'm sorry about the mud,
but here's my ball for you to sew up,
and here's the geography you were
going to cover, and may l go over
to Will Smiths corner with my
rollers skates? There's such a daisy
sidewalk over there!'
Verify, we'll may the mother for
give much in such a case. And
blessed is she who can answer the
childre.i's questions with a glad

An Ancient Cutlery Case.

Children, how does your mother put
away her silver knives and forks and
spoons? All together or separate? How
do you think she would like mahogany
case made to keep them both separate
and together?
There is such case in the model farm
house, about which we are thinking (see
the cut of several months ago) and it
would be nearly as convenient as it is
unique, though it was probably designed
for the convenience of a sea captain. 1t
keeps quiet company now with the old
Bennington" gun before mentioned.
This case is well-made, the wood
highly polished; ornamented about the
hinges and lock, as used to be the fash
ion. In size it is not quite cubic foot
every way, we should judge; it opens
diagonally like some OF the small writing
desks now offered for sale. Opening it
there seems to be another 'lid" almost
halt way down, full OF various
shaped holes and slots; but it is not
movable, and moments thought con.
vinces you that it would receive and
keep ready for use, just dozen forks
and two sizes of spoons to the same
number respectively.
This case belonged to the captains
outfit in a British merchant ship, which
was captured by Yankee privateer dur
ing the war of 1872" The said priva-
teer was commanded by Capt. Shepherd
son, the father of Mrs. Simeon Cobb, and
this case, well filed, was one of her we'd
ding presents from her father. So we
have accounted for the presence of this
valuable relic in the said farmhouse.
No doubt it would be more convenient
on ship-board than in modern pantry,
but the cunning workman who wishes
to provide salable knick-knacks, will
sometime initiate this one, and we be-
lieve to his own advantage.-[R Rev. P. B.

"Where Is MOther?"

When the tired father returns at
night from the office or shop, when
the children come home from school,
the first question is always, unless
she stand in the very hall before their
eyes, "Where is mother?" 1t is often
said that the mother is the home.
This question is one of the many
proofs of the truths of this proverb.
Unless the mother is in the house,
the vital principle OF the home seems
to be lacking. She comes, and COM
fort, love and joy seem to enter with
her. She goes, and there is sort
of GREATNESS, uneasy waiting.time
until she comes back again.
To the true mother the knowledge
that she is thus indispensable to her
loved ones should be one of the choic-
est possessions. 1t is only by cher
ishing the spirit which prompts the
question, Where is mother" that
she can properly instill into the
hearts other children that passion
for home" which one of our great
writers has called the first charac-
teristic of manly natures" And yet
not infrequently tired mother will
exclaim, impatiently, II wish | could
stir without having an outcry Of
"Where's mother?' To one who
sets true values upon life and it's
duties and pleasures, such words
come with an awful shock. Pearls
seem to have been cast wastefully at
| the feet of such a woman.
But even if mother hold imost
dear this precious tribute of love,
how many are there who take pains
to be at home when the children
come? Or, if she must be absent, to
leave word for them, or to tell them
before they go in the morning or at
noon that she expects to be gone
when they return, with her reasons
and regrets? 1t is only by mutual
thoughtfulness in these so-called
trifles that the harmony of the home
life can be preserved, and woe to her
who does not appreciate them at
their true value. 1t is impossible
that the busy mother of family,
with shopping to do, calls to'make
and meetings of various kinds to at.
tend, should always be in when the
