arrived for the revelation of his sur

Boys, l have a lot of cold beer up

gentlemen or like hogs"
"Oh. we'll dring like gentlemen.

A Queens Visit.

To be old and poor and bedridden is
generally to be debarred from the
greater privileges of life, but there was
one old man in Scotland who found his
disadvantages had procured him
privilege that the strong and more &C
tive members of his family were seek
ing in vain. 1t was on an occasion
when Queen Victoria was at Balmoral
and, as she often did, she went one day
unaccompanied to visit the cottages. In
one of these she found an old man,
bedridden and quite alone, and she sat
down TO talk to him.
And how is it you are a1one?" she
asked Have you no one to keep you
company"
No" replied the old man innocently.
"My folks be all away seeing the queen.
They thought they might get a glimpse
of her."
His visitor made no reply, but she sal
with the old man, pleasantly filling the
gap made by the absence of Ibis folks, y
and then found time to read to him
from the Bible she herself treasured
On leaving she gave further proof OF
her sympathy in the shape of So
note, accompanying it with the words,
when your people come back, tell
them that while they have been to see
the queen the queen has been to see
you."-Youth's Companion,

Treat Your Child Fairly.

The health of our children is stubborn
question. Some children seem to thrive
under every adverse condition. Others with
every care are sickly and weak and nothing
seems to help them. They are frail, puny,
constantly ailing.
Take your child to the great specialist in
children's diseases, DIR. Greene, of Nervura
fame, "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass, or
write to him and give the little one the bene-
fit OF the best advice. No charge whatever is
made for such consultation or advice whether
you call or write. The success OF this world
famous doctor in treating children's diseases
Is phenomenal, and your child should have
this chance to be strong and well. Every
body admires healthy children and no one
has done so much to make children healthy
as this specialist. Your child is entitled to
health and DIR. Greene's advice and treat
ment will build up and strengthen the weak

A man who is fond of fishing is
worth cultivating. 1t shows a contem
plative mind open to convictions.
Remember that the bachelor who
boasts he has no small vices must
needs be suspected, for human nature
is true to herself and abhors a vacuum.
It's wise wife, who cheerfully toler-
ates a pipe; who only lifts her eye
brows at muddy boots; who doesn't
rdicule her husbands clumsy efforts
at carpentry mending around the
house; who often admits the dogs to
the sitting room, and let's an occasional
extra man friend in for dinner without
rebuke or apology.
These are little things, but they all
go toward keeping cheerful husband
inside the garden gate and tend to
firmly establish domestic serenity
