cident of the way in which children
may be trained so as not to regard
death as the king of terrors:
That night, before they went to bed,
they were allowed to go in and kiss
their mother good-nig ht. This privi-
lege had been denied them lately, and
their hearts responded with joy to the
invitation. Mamma was better, or
she could not see them. The doctor
had cured her. They would love him
pale, but smiling, and her first words
to them were: II am going on a
journey"
"a journey!" cried the children.

asked Katy.

sweet voice, Il am not going alone.

you are made ready, but each must
make the journey alone

How did she go? Who came for

People wonder at the peace and
happiness expressed in the faces of
these motherless children. When
asked abou: their mother they say,
She has gone on q Journey" and
every night and morning they read
in her Guide book OF that land where
she now lives, whose inhabitants

where God shall wipe all tears from
their eyes. n-DetTOit Free Press.

A NAN WHO LIVES SIMPLY TO
EAT AND DRINK.
In q little yeilowed English maya
zine, dated April, 1904, came across
the following amusing scrap:
If the Duke of q does not extend
his life to a stilllorger period, it will not
be for want of culinary comforts and
those other succulent arts by which
longevity is best promoted. His
grace's sustenance is thus daily adj
ministered
"At 7 in the morning he regales IN a
warm milk bath, perfumed with al
mond powder, where he takes his
coffee and buttered muffin, and aft
erward retires to bed. He rises about
9 and breakfasts on cafe au lait, with
new laid eggs just parboiled; at II he
| is presented with two warm jellies
and rusques: at he takes veal cut
| let la Maintenon; at jellies and
eggs repeat; at cup OF chocolate
and rusques; at 7.30 he takes a hearty
dinner from high seasoned dishes,
and makes suitable libations OF claret
and madeira; at 10, tea. coffee and
mullins; at II sups off a roast poulet,
| with plentifulsolution of lime punch;
| at in the morning he retires to bed
in high spirits and sleeps till 3, when
| MS man COOK, 10 Tue mOlueut, Wdlls
upon him in person with hot and
savory veal outlet, which with pota-
ton of wine and water, prepares him
| for further repose, that continues
generally uninterrupted till the morn.

i'm this routine of living comforts
are the four and 20 hours invariably
divided; so that if his grace does not
know, with Sir Toby Belch, that oul
life is composed of four elements he
knows at least, with Sir Ague Cheek
