Closing nours in London.

Mr.. Albert Larking, assistant secre-
tary of the Early Closing Association,
writes that traders to whom legislation
In this matter Is d~tstasteful are mainly
responsible for the introduction Of any
bill to reduce the long hours Of shop

willingness to fall in with the volun.
tary proposals made to them from time
to time. Mr.. Larking gives a number
Of examples Of this kind Of opposition,
md adds: zone would have thought a
D o'clock closing on four nights Of the
week perfectly reasonable, but in all
parts of London our efforts to secure
eyen this reasonable hour in place Of
$50 and 10 o'clock have failed. That
Dur legislative policy Is generally APP
proved is evidenced by the steady in-
GREASE year after year of u income
from employers and assistants, the In
crease for the first seven months of this
year alone being no less than 1880.
While waiting for legislation, however,
which we are certain will come, we
have not abandoned u voluntary
work, and 1t is hoped that when we
open our autumn and winter campaign
on the return Of our secretary from
his enforced absence through Ill health
we may receive a more ready coop
GRAFTON from the London traders to Sc
cure some reasonable improvement in
the present late hour Of closing. One
Of the sad sights Of London at the pres
ent time is to see shops Of every thor
~oughfare Gro wded with well-dressed
women, who ought to know better, as
late as 0 o'clock at night, and who
could, with a little self-sacriice, shop
earlier. and thus help 10 make the lives
Of the oyerworied shop assistants n
little brighter and happier. We despair,
however. Of t~houghtless women ever

A Magic Letter.

Listen-you a her 1t hiss. 1t Is the
wizard of the alphabet, 1t gives pos
session and multiplies indefinitely by
its touch. II changes a tire into trees
and a house into houses. Sometimes
1t Is very spiteful and will change a pet
into a pest, a pear into u spear, a word
Into a sword and laughter into slaugh-
ter. and 1t will make hot shot at any
time.
Farmers have to watch 1t closely. II
will make scorn of his corn and reduce
every peck to a speck. Sometimes he
finds II useful. If he needs more room
for his stock it will change a table into
q stable for him, and IL he is short of
hay he can set out q row of tacks. 1t
will turn them into stacks. He must be
careful, however, o to let his nails
lie around loose. The serpent's breath
will turn them into snails. If ne wishes
to use an engine about bis farm work
he need not buy any coal or have water
to run it, Let the serpent glide before
his horses. The team will turn to
steam.
If v you get hurt call the serpent
to your aid. Instantly your pain will

the next time you climb a mountain If
you desire TO witness a marvel. 1t will

Indian Corn.

A correspondent inquiries on what
authority the Youths Companion re-
Gently spoke of Indian corn as not 3
native of North America.
Indian corn is one of the plants the
origin of which Is unknown. Many
botanists have believed that 1t came
from the East, but the weight Of pres
ent opinion is opposed to that view.
Alphonse de Candolle, in his work on
THE Origin of Cultivated Plants" con-
cludes that maize probably originated
somewhere between Mexico and Peru,
perhaps In Granada. The writer Of the
| article Maize" In the Encyclopedia
Britannica" says that the plant sis
most probably indigenous to tropical
America" Neither Candolle nor the
Britannica intimates that any Il has
ever suspected Indian corn Of being a
native of the United States.
The Companions reference to the
natter was in connection with the ques-
ton Of a national flower, and 1t would
have been sufficient for the writer's
purpose to say that Indian corn was
not a native Of the United States. That.
indeed, was what he really had in
mind. He used the words North Amer.
lea as 1t is the custom of botanists and
biologists TO use them, meaning the
North American continent north Of
Mexico. See, for example, Gray's
~"Synoptlcal Flora of North America"

The woman who marries a man to

1t Is better to believe that there Is
some good in everybody than that there
Is no good in anybody.
Look at it this way: The world and
everything in 1t Is yours to help you

The real Christian will not shut up
his Bible and quit, because things fail
to go as he wants them to go.
Find a man who loves God with all
his heart, and he will be found work
ing for him with all his might.
Call the devil by any name that
sounds well, and how quick he will pull
in his claws and shake hands with
you.

the indianapolis Sentinel reports an
interesting exception to the ruie. As
the story goes, the mistress OF the oos
IL also a keeper OF hens. One OF these
was sitting upon a clutch" OF thir-
teen eggs, and Don, the black-and-
tan, soon became very curious to Kno"
why she stayed In the barn so closely.
The dog, as 1t appears. had formerly
been given to teasing the hen. snatch
ing her food away from her, n otner-
wise making himself Il torment; Dut
this Intercourse had gradually turned
into friendship, and the two wouiu
sometimes be seen lying and squat
ting side by side in the sun, on a bit Oh
carpet In the back porch.
During the three weeks that the hen
sat on her eggs, Don used to pay daily
visits to the barn, and sometimes
would stay with her by the half-hour.
Then the chicks came out Of their
shells. Don was intensely interested.
All day long he scarcely left the barn,
The next morning, when the hen step
ped of the nest and with a cluck cali
ed her brood after her, Don followed.
The hen fell to scratching, and the
fluffy chicks darted hither and thith-
er, picking up the tidbits which the
mother had uncovered.
"Goodr said Don to himself; 81 can
help in this business" and to the ter.
ror Of the chickens he ran in among
them and began turning up the soil at
q lively rate. Then he sat down and
waited.
The mother hen called back the
chicks to the newly scratched earth,
and soon they picked 1t clean. Then
the dog took another turn. And SO
the good work proceeded, to the great
delight OF all the parties.
