A sEIF-sUppoRTINe WIDOW.

About a year ago my husband died and
left me in rather destitute circumstances.
Just after our marriage his health failed,
and for that reason he was unable to lay
by for rainy day. A friend of mine from
Illinois called on me and told me how. much
money she was making by selling the Iron
City Dish Washer, and said she thought
l could at least make a good living by do
ing the same wrote the Iron City Dish
Washer Co., Dept IL Sta. A, Pittsburg,
Pa, for sample. Since then have been
making a splendid living for my children
and myself, and still attend to my house
hold duties. Last month l cleared over
5000, and am delighted with my success.
The Dish Washer works like charm, and
the distasteful work of washing dishes
can be done in few moments without
soiline the hands particle. Anyone who
sees it work wants one at once, so they
are no trouble to sell. / would advise
anyone out of employment to write for full
particulars, as they started me in bust
ness and will do the same for others.

THE GIRLS THAT ARE WANTED.

The girls that are wanted are good girls
Good from the heart to the lips;
Pure, as the lily is white and pure
From its heart to its sweet leaf tips.
The girls that are wanted are home girls
Girls that are mothers right hand;
That father and brothers can trust to,
And the little ones understand.
Girls that are fair on the hearthstone,
And pleasant when nobody sees;
Kind and sweet to their own folks,
Ready and anxious to please.
The girls that are wanted are wise girls,
That know what to do and say;
That drive with a smile and soft word
The wrath of the household away.
The girls that are wanted are girls with
hearts;
They are wanted for mothers and wives
Wanted to cradle in loving arms
The strongest and frailest lives
The clever. the witty, the brilliant girl
There are few who can understand;
Rrt. o. for the wise, loving home girls,
There's constant and steady demand.

THE DOVE.

[Retold after the German OF Albert Roderieh.
There was once upon time forest,
and youth was walking dreamily in the
shade of its majestic trees. Suddenly,
he heard wailing note; and, searching
in the direction whence the sound came.
he found wood. dove caught in snare.
well, WE'LL" he said. Il should not won
der at all if that dove we're fairy who
would grant me wish, if released"
With these thoughts, he cut the cord,
and let the dove go. His eyes followed
her fight; and he asked. "Supposing you
are fairy, shall be allowed to make
wish?"
And. really. the dove was fairy. whose
delicate form lowered between the
branches of the big oak-tree; and she
said: Certainly, l am fairy; and |
shall allow you three wishes"
"All right" said the youth. Three
wishes,--such is the custom in fairy
tales. But will they be fulfilled?"
"Yes." said the fairy. "They will be
fulfilled"
What a delightful prospect for a
young man! He thought: First, wish
wealth; secondly, palace to live in; and,
thirdly. that l shall BIZ granted three
more wishes whenever l SO DESIRE"
Your wishes are granted" said the
fairy, and disappeared.
The youth went home, and there he
saw palace which he knew was his
own. He entered, and went right to
the treasure-vault: for he was familiar
with all the rooms of the mansion, as if
he had been living in it for ages. The
treasure vault contained as much money
as he wanted. He spent his riches in
pleasure and in charities, just as he
thought best. At any rate, he enjoyed
himself immensely, until he became sick
in body and mind. While lying on his
bed he thought of his chance of having
new wishes granted. And he wished,
first, for renewed health. secondly, wis
dom, with all the learning which long
years of studying would afford, and
thirdly, another chance of three more
wishes.
His wishes were again fulfilled.
When he became sick of his books, he
longed for quiet home; and he wished.
first for beautiful wife. and, secondly,
for we'll behaved, amenable children,
and. thirdly, that he could have another
chance of three wishes.
Thus he continued always asking for
the fulfillment of two wishes, and re-
questing another chance of wishes whom
ever he should desire it.
This kind of life was very pleasant;
but he grow sick of it because he had
wished for everything that he could
think of. and he no longer knew what
to wish for next.
One day, when he had in vain troubled
himself with the invention of new wishes
without being able to find one, he grew
very wroth, and shouted in his anger;
"What pleasure can there be in obtain
ing anything, if these dreadful fairies
always grant it for the mere asking? |
wish had never wished anything"
As he uttered these words, he found
himself standing at the very same spot.

A PIGEON THAT WENT TO
SCHOOL.

When Paul was little boy he lived
with his father and mother on a line
farm. In the big barn where he often
played there we're great many pigeons.
but they built their nests away up close
to the roof on the beams and rafters.
Paul wanted some of the birds for pets
but they were afraid of him. and al
ways flew away when he tried to get
near them. One day Paul's father came
to the house carrying two pretty white
pigeons. He had climbed up and caught
them before they were quite old enough
to leave their nests.
paul" said he, "you may make pets
OF these il you wish it. You can make
them little house, and they will soon
| get tame. You must teach them to eat,
for they have always been fed by the
| mother bird.
Paul was very much pleased. He put
the birds in a little box in the kitchen.
and they soon learned to pick up crumbs,
and fiutter their wings and COO.
Nov, we will see about building them
house. said Paul's father.
They took an old dry goods box and
turned it upside down on the ground be-
side the wood house. They put in some
sticks for perches, sawed piece out OF
the side for door, and made hole in
the top. Above that box they put roof
OF boards. 1t made as good a pigeon
house as boy need want-or pigeon
either.
The pigeons soon made themselves at
home, and Paul found they could eat a
great deal. They bathed every day in
the little brook that ran through the
back part of the yard. and they always
looked clean and white.
They soon learned to know Paul's voice.
and when he called, pidgey, pidgey, pid-
gey, they would fly to him and sit on his
shoulders and hands. They seemed to
forget about their old quarters in the
barn, and did not care anything about
the pigeons that still stayed there.
After time Paul saw his pets carrying
straws and little sticks into their house,
and before long there we're two little
eggs in rough looking nest under the
roof There was soon quite family of
pigeons.
On the days when Paul went to school
the birds see med to miss him, and as

his way home in the evening, they would
fly to him.
One warm afternoon in spring Paul
was at his desk in school. He had re,
cited his lessons well. and it was nearly
time for school to close. The windows
were all open, but still it seemed warm
and close in the house, and the children
were anxious to get out to play on the
green grass.
Paul felt drowsy and tired. but all at
once there was futtering noise, and
one of his pigeons flew in through the
window and went straight to his desk.
It spread it's wings and tail. and made a
funny. cooling noise. as you have often
heard pigeons do. 1t seemed to be scold-
ing Paul because he had not gone home
sooner. How the children did laugh
and shout! They forgot they had ever
| been tired.
The teacher was a kind young lady,
aud she did not scold, but laughed and
| said she was afraid she could not teach
that kind of a scholar. Then school was
dismissed, and Paul walked proudly
home with his pigeon on his shoulder.

Mrs. Griswold's story is well adapted for
home reading and Sunday-school libraries.
The scene of he story is laid in Wisconsin
early in the. '40's and it traces the history of
young girl from childhood to womanhood, I'M
folding the cps of her Intellectual develop
ment, and her growth into noble character.
The story is very gracefully written, and will
take high rank among the books for young
women of which the time is so prolific. 1t will
please readers old and young. AMI will be es-
pecially interesting to all who are interested in
the early beginnings of society in the West
In Waiting on Destiny the author provides
for gill readers well-written and healthful
story of early Wisconsin life when that State
was on the frontiers of the great West The
whole tone of the book is pure ana elevating.
and no young girl can peruse its genuinely in
teresting and picturesque pages without receiv-
ing decided moral uplift as well as salutary
mental stimulus. Margarers promising girl
hood lowered into just the noble w0manhO0d

This is story of life in Wisconsin at the time
when that was a new country, the heroine being

In region where there was great famine OF
literature. The closing chapters describe some
phases of the excitement prevailing just before
the Rebellion and at the time of that outbreak.
Aside from the interest attaching to the place
aud the time, the narrative in itself has quail
tiles that would win for it wide circle of read
ers. 1t is well written, and between the lines
one can find opinions pronounced on variety
of practical and important questiOns.-Go lden

1t will not be difficult to discern the originals
of the two foremost characters in the book. In
its literary aspects 1t will compare favorably
with the best work of the day among American
authors. We heartily commend IL to all who
would have In home and Sunday-school whole

papers of ten years ago or more, so
she was doing"
Doing is very different thing
from mapping. Grandma could hear
Eliza, her niece, going about the
house; and she wondered what Eliza
was preparing for supper. Then she
remembers that Eliza said something
about blueberry pie. Eliza's canned
berries are almost as good as fresh
ones, but neither canned nor fresh
berries taste to Grandma as they used
to. Grandma wonders why.
The afternoon sun shines over
Grandma, and she thinks it is sum-
mer time and she is picking berries
down in the swamp. She has on a
blue and white bingham frock, and
her hair is braided in two thick
braids down her back and tied with
a red ribbon.
How the birds sing! Grandma has
not heard the birds sing like that for
many a year. And how thick the
berries arel her birch bark basket is
nearly filled.
There is the dinner horn, and the
basket is full and "heaped." How
hungry Grandma isl she knows there
will be berry pie for dinner, for she
heard her mother say so when she
was tying her sunbonnet this morn
ing.
How sweetly the little brook, on
the other side of the berry bushes,
sings and ripples. Grandma thinks
she will rest just moment in the
cool shade of the willow tree by the
brook.
Grandma wonders what the brook
is saying; something very pleasant
she is sure. And how did the sun
shine get down to the bottom of the
brook?
A bird flies up from big tuft of
grass on the opposite side of the
brook, and Grandma leaps across to
hunt up its home. But she does not
leap quite far enough, and she comes
down in the water. She scrambles
out as quick as she can, but not
quick enough to save her shoes and
stockings drenching.
Dear mel what will Mother say?
But the wren's nest must be found.
Not for the world would Grandma
touch the nest, but she is always
searching out the homes of her feath-
cred neighbors.
When the nest has been found,
Grandma remembers how hungry
she is. 1t must be five minutes since
she heard the dinner-horn. II hope"
Grandma says to herself, "that the
folks will not get to the berry pie be
fore l get home"
When Grandma returns to the
brook what sad sight she sees! the

and the berries rolling into the water
Grandma's face grew very red, and
it was not the sun that was the cause
of it. 81 could cry" said she, "iust

eyes a number of times before she
