CHILDREN AND DIRT.

The mother who would have heI
children healthy must not be afraid to
have them occasionally dirty. While
cleanliness is akin to godliness, there
is a clean dirt that comes from con,
tact with the sweet earth that is
wholesome. Have the little ones
bathed frequently, insist that they
come to meals with immaculate hands
and faces, but, between meals, have
them so dressed that they are free to
run and romp as they will.
An over careful mother of an only
child complained to a physician that
her baby was pale and delicate. He
asked to see the child, and the nurse
brought in the two-year-old from the
veranda. where he had been seated
on IL rug, looking at a picture book.
His dainty nainsook frock was spot
less, es were also the pink kid boots
and silk socks.
What that child needs is whole.
some dirt was the PHYSICIANS ver-
dict. Put q gingham frock and
plain shoes on him, and turn hilu
loose on the lawn or IL the fresh earth.
If lie is not rosy and happy in a month
let me know
time the baby was Transformed. The
eyes that had been heavy were bright
the skin had acquired a healthy glow,
the arms aud legs were plump, and
the Ianguid, tired little patient had
become Il rollicl<ing boy. The free
dom, fresh air, and clean dirt had, in
a months time, wrought a greater
change in the child's system than al
the skill of the medical fraternity
could have effected.
Mothers who take their little schoo
boys and girls away for vacation
should let them romp at will out OF
doors, fish in the brook, ride on tbs
hay, and wear strong shoes and cloth
ing of which they need not be too
careful. a child is much happier il
untrammelled by too many 'don'ts.'
Aud the mother is happier too if she
need not say "don't''every hour in the
day.-HdTpeI's Ba=Qr.

VOL. XLIV---NO %
A TIMELY FARMING.

| While a British brig was gliding
smoothly along before good breeze in
the South Pacific, three months ago, a
flock OF emall birds about the size,
shape and color of paroquets settled
down In the rigging and passed an
hour or more resting. The second
mate was so anxious to find out the
species to which the visiting strangers
belonged that he tried to entraD a.
specimen, but the birds were too shy
to be thus caught, and too spry to be
seized by the quick hands of the sail
ors. At the end of about an hour the
birds took the briggs course and disap-
peared, but towards pightlail they
came back and passed the night in the
main-top. The next morning the birds
flew off again, and wheH they returned
at noon the sailors scattered some food
about the decks. BY this time the
birds had become so tame that they
hoped about the decks picking up
the crumbs. That afternoon an as
tonishing thing happened. The flock
came flying swiftly toward the brig.
Every bird seemed to be piping as if
pursued by some little invisible enemy
on wings, and they at once huddled
down behind the deck-house. The
supersitious sailors at once called the
captain of the brig, who rubbed his
eyes and looked at the barometer. A
glance showed that something was
wrong with the elements, and the brig
was put in shape to outride storm.
The storm came about twenty minutes
after the birds had reached the vessel.
For few minutes the sky was like the
waterless bottom of a lake-a vast
arch of yellowish midland TORE nts
Of rain fell Why it did not blow very
hard, no one knows; bat On reaching
port two days later the captain learn
ed that a great tornado had swept
across that part Of the sea. The birds
left the vessel on the morning after
the storm and were not seen again.

TALK TO YOUR HORSE.
Some man, unknown to the writer

Some man, unknown to the writer
hereof, has given to the world a saying
that sticks: Talk to your cows as
you would to II lady" There is a
world of common sense in it. There is
more; there is good sound religion in
it. What else is it but the language
of the Bible applied to animals "a
soft answer turneth away wrath" A
pleasant word to q horse in time of
trouble has prevented many disaster
where the horse has learned that
pleasant words mean a guaranty that
danger from punishment is not immi-
nent
One morning a big, muscular groom
said to his employer: - can't eXer-
else that horse any more. He will
bolt and run at anything he sees"
The oWntr, a small man and ill at the
time, asked that the horse be hooked
up. Stepping into the carriage lie
d, owe couple of miles, and then ask
ed the groom to station along the road
such objects as the horse was afraid
of. This was done and the horse was
driveL by them quietly, back and
forth, with loose lipes slapping on his
back. The 2choie secret lcaS in q r0ice
that inspired confidence. The man
had been frightened at everything he
saw that he supposed the horse would
fear. The fear went to the horse like
an electric message. Then came q
punis hing pull of the lines, with jerk
ing and the whip. Talk to your horse
as to YOUR sweetheart HVd}O Horse

PILING FOOD WHILE

Uncle Dick" Oglesby was honest
himself and he believed in making
other people be so, just so far as it lay
within his power. The principle of
the thing appe led to him, and false
rule lie despised. In 1865, when he
was governor for the first time, he Or
dered 10 cords of firewood from a farm
er, who was to cord the wood up in
the governors yard. The governor
watched until three cords had been
piled. Then he could stand it no long
er. and, walking up to the farmer, he
said
You are piling that wood too loose
ly. By the time you get it piled you'll
be giving me eight cords for 10. Now
mind you, won't pay fer it."
The farmer, evidently Disguised at
being told how to do his own work,
answered that he guessed he knew
how to cord wood as well as anybody,
and challenged the governor to do it
better if he could. That Uncle Dick"
would take him at his word evidently
never occurred to him, but it wasn't
the first time the good old gentleman
haI corded wood, and, governor or no
governor, out he went. When the
farmer had brought the wood all in
Uncle Dick" corded every stick of it
over again and got it into eight cords.
Then he made the farmer bring in two
cords more.-ChicaqO CHrO7licle.

A STU fEMENT CORRECTED.

There was once 2 colored preach
err" so goes story told by Governor
Roosevelt, who, upon the occasion of
delivering forcefui harangue to his
congregation. said:
81 see before me IL chicken
thieves, including William Sanders.
Now, Sanders was a handy man
with razor, and being exceeding
wroth over the preachers severe in
dictment, threatened to carve the
parson on sight. But the parsons
friends, learning that there was
trouble in the wind, urged him, in the
interest of his own welfare and that
of the community, to set things right
with Sanders at the first opportunity.
Taking this view of the situation, the
parson did, on the next Sunday make
the following announcement.
Brethren, at our last meeting L
made statement which, after ma
ture elaboration, desire to correct,
realizing as l do that my remarks
upon that occasion might not have
been understood correctly. What l
should have said was: "There are in
this congregation 12 chicken thieves,

CHOOSING A HUSBAND.

A girl thinking seriously of her fu-
ture husband does not lay any great
stress on good temper. A soldierly
form, pair of fine eyes, noble pro-
tile--any of these might easily out
weigh good temper. Yet Mr.. Smiles
assures us that After the first year
married people rarely think of each
others features, whether they be
classically beautiful or otherwise of
each others temper" AS to a hus-
bands fortune, it is not SO important
as the qualities which lead to fortune
ambition, determination, industry,
thrift, any position such a man may
attain for himself. In education a
man should be at least his wife's
equal.
Undoubtedly there is some subtle
affinity between opposites. Yet there
must be likeness as we'll as unlikeness.
The latter will lend piquancy which
is pleasant, but the former will give
peace which is essential. At first love
itself will he all sufficient, but little
later the individual chara cteristics
reasserted themselves, and then in the
absence of comprehension and sym
pathy in ones pet tastes and theories
a barrier springs up, uuconfessed per
haps, but still impossible, and in one
sense at least man and wife are moi

A LADY.

A lady is simply the highest type of
woman. She will be gentle and mod
est, mistress of temper and curiosity.
She will know and honor her own
place in the social order as the divine
iy appointed molder, teacher and re-
finer of men, and out of this noble and
beautiful place she will not seek to
move. To fit herself for the place she
will cultivate body and mind; the
body in health and yigor that size may
take Ter share of burdens and be
cheerful under them, and that her
work in the world may be as fairly
done as her hands can do it, and the
mind in knowledge, accomplishment
and taste. that she may be'a delight
and a help in her house.-John Boyle

OLD FRIENDS.

There are no friends like old friends,
And none SO good and true.
We greet them when we meet them
AS roses greet the dew.
u o other friends are dearer,
Though born of kindred mould,
And while We prize the new ones,
We treasure more the old.
There are no friends like old friends
70 hclpu with the load
That all must bear who journey
Ger life's uneven road.
And when unconquered sorrows
The weary hours invest.
The k ndly words Of Old friends
Are always found the best.
There are 10 friends like old friends
To calm our frequent fears
When shadows faiI aud ,.ecpen
Through LIES declining Years.
And when our ialtering footsteps
Approach the great divide,
Wen long to meet tie old friends
Who wait the other side.

they should follow your example.
Don't let the mother of your children
have to point to Uncle Jim or Uncle Dick
as a pattern for your boys. Let her be
able to say "Do as your father does. Let
the children see that you are helpful and
thoughtful of mothers comfort about
the house, and make your home a mutual

the divine intention when the home was

Jay Goul1's millions were at one
time in danger. 1t was in 1873, and
their fate depended upon the fuctua-
tons in the gold market. Gould saw
his precarious position in time, and so
enormous was his power and influence
that he unanswered himself cut of the
difficulty. In fact, when it was over he
was Weather than ever.

An Accidental Success

enoe upon time, - runs the story,
there was man in London who had
veatured upon various publishing
schemes with but poor success and was
beginning to despair of ever making a
fortune when, by chance, he bethought
himself Of a huge scrapbook which his
wife had compiled of various literary
odds and ends that had enchanted her
fancy. She called her serapbook Tit
Bits, and it occurred TO her husband
that such odds and ends, published in
periodical form, might interest other
people as we'll as his wife.
The result Of this meditation on his
part was the appearance Of little pen
ny paper called Tit Bits. which proved
so popular and gained such a wide cir
culation that its proprietor felt encour-
aged to place other literary ventures on
the market, and it was not long before
he became known as the publisher Of a
number Of extremely popular penny
periodicals. He Is now millionaire
many times over and baronet, while
his wife, whose scrapbook proved the
cornerstone Of their prosperity, finds
her reward in the title Of Lady Newnes
