And yet not be tN blame.
But tbs gems that are fairest
And richest, and rarest,

That is "a good name"

Be honest and true boys;

Two Pointed Questions Answer

TWO Pointed Questions Answered
What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for 1t?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may be
smaller on single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prom
inently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and
use only the better one,
This explains the large sale of, Cham

THE A NTI-sQUEAL SOCIETY.
! Miss Frances IL. Sargent, of Prospect IIarbor,
in Erery other sunday

The children of the Cross family break
tasted at nine, and the hands'of the town
clock pointed to Just five minutes of that
hour. "Oh, dear! l don't want my hair
combed. You pull it more than there's
any need of, anyway, Meg" growled
Bess.
"lf you'd keep still, | wouldn't pull at
all; but you yank about so, | have to-"
snapped back Meg.
Il can't get this old shoe on. Don't see
what shoes were made for anyhow I'd
a good deal rather go barefooted any
day came from fussy 10.
"Don't see what it wants to rain for to-
day wanted to go over to Aunt Dots,
and now all my fun is spoilt," chimed in
faulttinding Ned.
As mamma listened to the squeals (as
she called them) in the nursery, she fore
told a stormy day within as we'll as with
out. SO she put ON her thinking cap for
moment and then, stepping softly to
the door, said
We'll, children, you are rightly named,
Cross; but come into the parlor. | have
something to show you and story to
tell
The mention of story brought smiles
out of tears, and you would hardly rec
ognize the row of good natured looking
children, who sat up so orderly, as the
Gross patches" of a few minutes before
Mamma knew how to manage her little
tow heads, who got up on the wrong side
of the bed that morning.
"Now, my dears," she said, when all
We're seated, "here is picture of a pig
your grandpa used to own. He was the
'squealiest' pig you ever saw. He squealed
when his mamma called him to dinner,
and he squealed while he was eating his
dinner. He squealed when he went to
bed, and he squealed when he got out of
his 'downy' bed of straw in the morning.
In fact, no one ever did anything that he
did not squeaf about.
"At last, one fine day, grandpa said he
was fat enough to eat. That summer
Cousin John, who was spending his va
cation away from noisy New York, hap
pened to have his snapshot camera at our

with merry laugh.

| will get them soon and tell you all bout
it. Go quick, every one of you, and wash
your faces, have your hair combed, and
eat your breakfast. After that, come to
the nursery; and l will initiate each one
of you"
You may be sure no unnecessary time
was spent in quarrelling; and it did not
take long to eat their simple diet of oat
meal milk and corn bread. In course of
half an hour clean set of rosy children
met mamma once more. What passed at
the first meeting of this secret society We
are not supposed to know; but each one
came out laughing a little later, holding
tightly to piece of ribbon, on one end of
which was suspended pink candy pig.
During the remainder of the day, as
soon as the sign-that is a frown-or a
cross word showed itself, exclamations
We're heard from all sides, Remember,
you belong to the Anti-squeal society,"
And a smile quickly took its place.
Indeed, at the close of the day, mamma
declared their names ought to be changed

Derivation of the Word ilionlilAe.
"Tne River "trip to he Klondiken is the
title Of an article By john Sydney Webb
in tie March Century. Mr.. Webb says:
"From Dawson the trail to the mines
leads over steep hill to the creek made so
famous ny its tributaries; for there is not
a single mine on the principal stream,
which in he miners slang is called Klon-
dixie. And yet this stream does in reality
bear a characteristic name given it by the
Indians, which is utterly murdered by
this pronunciation, now SO common.
1.-The Indians name the creeks through
out the country from some characteristic
in connection with the stream itself; and
as this one is so swift that in order to
set their salmon traps or nets they We're
obliged to use a hammer to drive the
stakes to anchor them, the creek was

how they shall have chance to live life
in its highest.

This desire for hereafter-this demand
shall / say?-is definite hunger of the
self within u.s. By every analogy of
nature, spread out in all its varied forms
by creative hand, we never see hunger
without a provision made to meet it,
Must we know all about the beyond in
IN order to be content? We know not the
beauties of palace until we are within.
The very ability to think of it however
predicates it; for we cannot think the
unthtnkable. The Frightening faces of
the dying ofttimes proclaim it. What
their eyes see and their ears hear will be
ours also, when we approach the mere
veil that covers the entrance to the
beyond. AS one of the Restoration poets
says:

hath made.

As they draw near their eternal home.

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BY MEMO.

As to Immortality: With all animals
we share our physical needs and frailties
so there is nothing out of the conformity
to nature if this body waste away by age
CO by disease. If this mind, remarkable
though its powers are, is based upon ply
steal changes within the substance of the
brain, we need to raise no serious protest if
its powers wane as we become aged. If in
the grave these hands and eyes, these
bones and muscles transform into mere
gases and compounds, so that in the place
of the living being there remain but a
few pinches of dust, why should we shud-
der at the thought? These, our elements,
were gathered through the years from
turned to their own
But if this personality, this EGO which
makes me different from every other per-
son, and every other person different
judgment somewhere within us, daring
all things, hoping all things, measuring
all things; If this come to an end like the
rest; If this, though noting physical de-
cay yet still soaring higher and higher,
undecaying and undecayed is only to be
Knocked at the end with sudden annihila-
ton, then may we well curse God and
die. For then are we mere experimental
whims of tend instead of nurtured and
cherished creatures of benign Being.
