A True Story.
Sooner or later every great thought
~: II ,,,nlr {. ito UNIV rnlnH tho ,unrll

Sooner or later every great thought
will make its way round the world.
There is city, not far from Boston,
where tall chimneys stand almost as
thickly as trees in wood, and where
flying shuttles weave miles Of cloth
each day. A great many Canadians
have come away from Quebec to watch
and tend the shuttles.
Polly Blanc's father was one of those
who came. Polly, with her mother
and father lived in d little house close
| by narrow canal, where water from
the river flowed by OIL its way to turn
dripping water-wheel. There was
another member of the family. 1t was
Bob, little bull terrier, with short,
brown hair and stumpy tail.
Polly's mother was too poor to keep
nurse maid. So one day, when she
had to 90 on an errand, she said:
Nov, Polly, must run down the
street and you will have to be alone.
BE real good girl and don't go near
the fire or touch the matches. Bob ana
you can have good time together"
Polly wanted TO 60, too, but her
mother hurried away alone. She cried
little; Bob trotted up, wagged his
stumpy tail with sympathy and licked
her hand: and she GROSSLY slapped him.
Bob SUNK away behind the stove,
where he watched his cross little mis-
tress with his bright eyes. Now Polly
was only six years old, SO she knew a
great deal more than her mother.
She climbed upon chair and found
SOME matches. She forgot her, cross.
ness in her glee at watching the flame
eat up the match and Bob, hearing
her laugh, with came from behind the
stove, ready for a frolic.
The match burned near to P0lly's
fingers, and she dropped it. 1t fell
close to the pretty checked apron. The
next minute Polly was running toward
the door screaming loudly. The bot
tom of her light dress was flaming up
around her.
Then it was that Bob becamea a hero.
He was only dog, and did not know
more than Polly's mother. But he did
the best he could. He gave several
sharp barks and snapped at the-flames.
He caught the apron in his mouth
and tore off some of the burning part.
Bob's head was badly burned. His
eyes smarted His tongue was bias
tered by the flames he gulped in. But
he still bit at the flames and tore away
as much of the dress that the flames
did not reach Polly's head.
Polly screamed with pain, and Bob
kept up his quick, short barks.
Just then a man passed by the gate
He heard the noise and rushed IN
Selling Polly in his arms, he ran down
10 the canal. There was splash and
O souse, and the flames were out.
Polly was painfully burned. The
doctor put cooling ointments on hel
burns and swathed her in rolls of cot
ton. Bnt it was several weeks before
her sutferings were all over.
Bob was burnt worse than Poll y for
his burns were about his head: 1t was
a long while before he groWled over q
bone again. But he did, final y. lie
is not nearly so pretty dog as he was
The Blanc family love him all the more
however. Polly never slaps him cruel
ly now, nor Is she wiser than hel
mother any longer.

Learned When n Roy.

Once, while visiting an insane asy-
lum in the East, | asked the superln-
tendent if he would allow me to see a
certain Methodist minister. l had
known the minister i'm my home as one
of the best and truest Of men, who, by
overwork, physical and mental, had
wrecked himself, and hecome ravlng
maniac. The superintendent of the
asylum said: "IOu will not want to
see him :" but said, EYES," and he
took me to the ward Of the asylum
known as "bedlam ward" Unlocking
the door of one of the cells we entered.
The inmate was locked up in the
''straight-acket," to prevent him from
injuring himself.
As we entered the room the most
terrible. the most vile, the most WI gar
oaths which l ever heard in my life,
came from his lips. | touched the
superintendent, and told him did not
wish to stay any longer. Going down
the corridor, | turned to the superln-
tendent and said to him: "What can
this mean? When / knew that man
he was one of the grandest Christians
true, noble and good in every respect
and now to hear such vile language
coming from him surprises me-"
The Superintendent said: "He learn
ed to swear when boy. The impress
sions made on his brain at that period
of his life when the brain most readily
received impressions, now reason Is
dethroned, become the governing ones.
In this asylum we can tell almost uni
formly what have been the habits, the
customs aud abuses of insance people
when they were children. The brain
at such times receives impressions
readily; the impressions are permanent;
and if they have INDUCED in vile prac-
tices, or used terrible language, the
dethronement of reason and intelligent
conscience will give the early impres,
sions and habits control of the mind" "
Not only are these impressions per
manent, but as we grow older-al-
though we may in a measure disabuse
our minds of the belief in them-they
are ever-present to bless or to curse us
to very great extent.

Hints TO HOusekeepers.

Bring children up 10 sleep in the
dark. as it is much better for their
ewes, the complete darkness being an
entire rest. Dark green or blue cur
tains are the best for bedrooms, and
they should be drawn across the win
dow to prevent the glare Of the morn
ing light falling too strongly upon the
eyes. Never place child's bed oppo'
site window, as the bright light fall
ing upon the face in sleep is exceeding
ly had for the sight.
The sugary crust on the top of
bakers sponge cake is caused by dredg.
ing the cake thickly with powdered
sugar. The reason why sponge cake
is Tough is often because it was baked
too rapidly. Use the juice of half
lemon in it and allow a quarter of an
hour longer for the baking. Cheap
water sponge is generally tough unless
it has lemon juice added to it, and II
should be very carefully baked.
A hot bath taken on going to bed is
O better cure him for insomnia than
many drugs.
The correct way to drain a wet uni
brella is to stand it handle down. Ii
put the other way the dampness re-
mains in the center, where all the wa
ter collects and very soon rots the Gov
ering.
White spots upon vanished furnl
ture will disappear if hot plate D'
held over, them.

A Word TO the Boys.

Water is the strongest drink. 1t
runs mills, it is the drink of lions and
horses, and Samson never drank any
thing else. Let young men be teeto.
talers, if only for economy's sake. The
beer money will soon build house. If
what goes into the mash-tub went into
the kneading-trough, families would be
better fed and better taught. If what
is spent in waste were saved against a
rainy day, poor houses would never be
built. The man who spends his money
with the publican, and thinks the land
lords bow and "How do you do, my
good fellow ?" means true respect, is a
perfect simpleton. We do not light
fires for the herring's comfort, but to
roast them. Men do not keep pot
houses for laborer's good; if they do,
they certainly miss their aim. Why
then should men drink for good of
the house? If I spend money for the
good of the house, let it be my own
and not the landlords. 1t is a bad
we'll into which you must put water ;
and the beer house is a bad friend be-
cause,it takes your all and leaves. you
nothing but headaches. He who calls
those his friends who let him sit and
drink by the hour together is ignorant,
very ignorant. Why, red lions, and
tigers, and vultures and are all creatures
of prey, and why do so many put them
selves within the power of their jaws
and talons? Such as drink and live
riotously, and wonder why their faces
are so blotchy, and their pockets SO
bare, would leave off wondering if they
had two grains of wisdom. They
might as well ask an elm tree for pears
as look to loose habits for health and
wealth. Those who 20 to the public

WASHINGTON. Nov. l4.-Dr. Talmage
finds the divine hand in all the domin-

mon presents religion in its most radi-
ant attraotiveness. The text is Genesis
i, II, 1.-THE fruit tree yielding fruit aft

1t is Wednesday morning in paradise.
The birds did not sing their opening
piece. nor the fish take their first swim
until the following Friday. The solar
and lunar lights did not break through
the thick. chaotic fog of the worlds
manufacture until Thursday Before
that there was light, but it was electric
light or phosphorescent light. not the
light of sun or moon. But the botanic
al and pomological productions came on
Wednesday-first the flowers and then
the fruits. The veil Of fog is lifted, and
there stand the orchards. Watch the
sudden maturity Of the fruit In our
time pear trees must have two years be-
fore they bear fruit, and peach trees
three years, and apple trees five years,
but here instantly complete orchard
springs into life, all the branches bear
ing fruit The insectile forces, which
have been doing their worst TO destroy
the fruits for 6, 900 years, had not yet
begun their invasion. The curculio had
not yet stung the plum, nor the cater
pillar hurt the apple, nor had the phyl-
loxera plague which has devastated the
VINEYARDS Of America and France, as
sailed the grapes, nor the borer perforat-
ed the wood. nor the aphides ruined the
cherry, nor the grub punctured the nee
tarine, nor the blight struck the pear.
There stood the first orchard, with
perfection of rind, and an exquisiteness
of color, and lusciousness OF taste
and an affluence of production which II
