THE LONELY GRANDPARENTS.

Do the younger people always
think of the loneliness of the aged?
They are provided with a pleasant
room, with the necessities, and even
the luxuries of life, but many OF
their friends have passed onward
INTO the other life, and their circle
OF acquaintances has narrowed too.
Also they have fewer interests, and
occasionally they are dependent.
When this is the unfortunate case
every possible pains should be taken
to show them that the reasons for
gratitude are on the side of their
children and grandchildren who are
only paying a just debt when scrupu-
lously caring for their parents. With
the return of each anniversary there
IS the opportunity to draw them in
10 the good cheer, to give them I'M
n~btrusive attention. Is the old
lady Il little deaf, the old gentleman
perhaps almost blind? Some younger
ears must hear, some younger eyes
zee Tor both. Please them by gifts
which convey some sentiment, not
by those which are too strictly utili-
tartan. Neglected age is not exclu-
Nlve found in squalid homes. 1t
wears out slow days and nights in
brOwnStOne fronts and on spacious
avenues, because the younger peO-
pie are too busy, too absorbed and
too Indifferent to show it the loving
attention it needs.-Margaret E.

OPEN YOUR EYES.

The Russians have a proverb- lie
goes through the forest and sees
no fre-wood." This is the same as
saying that there are many persons
who go through life with their eyes
shut. "Having eyes they see not"
Solomon speaks of the same thing.
The wise mans eyes are in his head !;
but the fool walketh in darkness. ,"
And again, "The eyes of a fool are
in the end of the earth"
Fully half, if not more, of a mans
education, consists in Attention.
Look! Look! Not with a far-away,
absent-minded gaze. That is what
Solomon calls having your eyes in
the ends of the earth. You have
seen that far away look in your
trends eyes, when you were talking
to him. And after you had finished,
he provokingly asked you to say it
over again.
Did you see that beautiful elm
tree at the crossroads, as you drove
along?"
mo, I was not paying attention"
OF course you must have seen it,
for you passed right by it. Yet you
did not really see it. That is, your
powers Of observation are weak.
You have not trained yourself to
look and think. This is the mean
ing of attention.
The Germans have an idiom-T0
look ut a thing deep IN the eyes. At
tention is looking at a thing deep in
the eyes.
How carelessly you are reading
that book! You will have no def

IN the same farm or in the same
house since you were born, but you
cannot tell what birds nest in the
trees, or what flowers blossom in
the meadows. If you were d soldier
in a military company you should
hear your commanders stern voice
ATTENTION! This is the command
you need to hear.

WHEN IT'S BETTER TO OWE.

A hen trod on a ducks foot. She
did not mean to do it, and it did not
hurt her much. But the duck said
I'll pay you for that!'
So the duck few at the hen, but
as she did so her wings struck an
old goose who stood close by.
IN pay you for that" cried the
goose and she few at the duck; but
as she did so her foot tore the fur of
a cat that was just then in the yard.
LII pay you for that p said the
cat, and she. started for the Jos ;
but as she did so her claw caught in
the fur of a dog.
iii pay you for thatr' said he,
and he jumped at the cat but as he
did so his leg struck an old COW who
stood by the gate.
IN you for that I" cried she, and
she ran at the dog; but as she did
so her horns grazed the skin of a
horse who stood by a.tree.
I'll pay you for that y cried he,
and he rushed at the cow.
What a noise there was! The
horse flew at the COW, and the COW
at the dog, and the dog at the cat,
and cat at the goose, and the goose
at the duck, and the duck at the hen.
What a fuss there was, and all be-
cause the hen accidentally stepped
on the ducks toe!
Hi, hi What's all this !" cried
the man who had the care of them.
II cannot have all this. You may
stay here" he said to the hen. But
he drove the duck to the pond, the
goose to the field, the COW to her yard,
and the horse to his stall.
And so all their good times we're
over, because the duck would not
overlook a little hurt which was not

swEET-MINDED WOMEN.

So great is the influence of a sweet
minded woman on those about her
hat it is almost boundless. 1t is to
her that friends come, in seasons of
sickness and sorrow, for help and
comfort. One soothing touch OF her
kindly hand works wonders in the
feverish child. A few words let fall
from her lips in the ear of the sor-
rowful sister, do much to raise the
load of grief that is bowling it's victim
down to the dust in anguish. The
husband comes home worn out with
the pressure of business, and feeling
irritable with the world in general !;
but when he enters the cOzy sitting
room, and sees the blaze of the fire
and meets his wife's smiling face,
he succumbs in a moment to the
soothing influences, which act as the
balm of Gilead to his wounded spirit.
We are all wearied with combating
the realities of life. The rough
SchOClbOv flies in Il rage from the
taunts of his companions, to find
soIrce in a mothers smile. The lit
tie one, full of grief with its own
large trouble, finds Il heaven of rest
on its mothers breast. And sO-One
may go on with instances of the in
fuence a sweet-minded woman has
in the social life with which she Is
connected. Beauty is ali inSignii
can't power when compared to hers.
II only she use her power for Christ.

WHAT Is BEING PLEAsANTl

Pleasantness of manner in our
common intercourse has as important
a part to play as intelligence, r
n%estness, c~onstancy, or force. But
many persons act as though they
supposed that pleasantness lies only
in smiles, gentle tones, and suave
counsel. These have their place in
making the social wheels run
smoothly, but true pleasantness
means more than these. A child or
a man likes to be addressed accord
ing to what he is-or thinks he is. If
he is u man of culture, it is not en-.
tirely pleasant to have his physician
talk to him as though he had never
seen a skeleton or heard a simple
technical term a Church layman
does not enjoy being talked to by
a minister as though no layman
could be expected to know anything
of Church history or theology a
high-minded juryman is not pleas
antly impressed by counsel's appeal
to his high intelligence, while at the
same time talking to him as though
he were feeble minded; the day
laborer finds it pleasant to be recog-
nized as a human being in sOme more
thorough way Than superficial soft
ness in giving order sweet nothings
from the superintendent desk do
not keep a young man in the Sunday
school if he feels that he is addressed
as one of the ''dear children" A
friends hearty slap on the back may
be a good deal pleasanter than q soft
pat on the cheek, while the pat on
the cheek from an afectiOnate child
may be ~pleasanter to a parent than
a slap on the back. Being pleasant
consists in adapting. ourselves to
the finer feelings by a recognition of
the whole condition of the person
whom we + addressing.-Sunday

SIGNS OF COMING RAIN.

Farmers who are deprived of the
forecasts of the weather bureau of
the agricultural department. are ever
on the outlook for information as to
yavs of acquiring a knowledge of
the signs of future weather.
sometimes it is of utmost Importance
that this knowledge should be pres
ont in order to avoid loss which GER
tain lines of work might entail, if
done under the belief that fine
weather was to prevail during it's ac-
complishment. One of the best
known series of predictions is that
of DIR. Jenner, the discoverer OF the
efficiency of vaccination. He de-
scribed them in verse about a CEN
fury ago, and they are reproduced
here in the hope that they may prove
Of real value. The signs he mentions
are all applicable to the cooler and
moister parts of the United States,
with the exception of that about the
rocks:
The hollow winds begin to blow,
The clouds look black, the glass is
low;
The SCOT falls down, the spaniels
sleep,
And spiders from their cobwebs
peep.
Last night the sun went pale to bed {;
The moon in haloS hid her head;
The boding shepherd heaves IA sigh,
For see, u rainbow spans the sky.
The walls are damp, the bitches
smell,
Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernel.
Hark, how the chairs and tables
crack
Old Betty's joints are on the rack.
Loud quaCk the ducks, the peacocks
cry,
The distant hills are looking nigh.
How restless T the snorting swine |!
The busy flies disturb the kline;
Low DER the grass the swallow
wings
The cricket, too, how sharp he sings !
Puss on the earth, with velvet paws,
Sits wiping DER her whisker'd jaws /;
Through the clear stream the fishes
rise,
And nimbly catch the incautious
flies;
The glow worms, numerous and
bright,
IIlumed the dewy dell last night;
At dusk the squalid toad was seen
Hopping and crawling DER the green /;
The whirling dust the wind Obeys;
And in the rapid eddy plays;
The frog has changed his yellow
vest,
And in a russell coat is dressed;
Though June, the air is cold and
still,
The mellow blackbird's voice is
shrill ;.
Ny dog, so altered is his taste,
Quits mutton bones on grass to
feast;
And see yon rocks, how odd their
flight!
They initiate the gliding Rite, g.
And seem precipitate to fall,
As if they felt the piercing ball
Twill surely rain-I see with sorrow,
Our jaunt must be put off tomorrow.

If the kidneys are healthy they will
excrete the poison from the blood. The
renal veins return the purified blood
from the kidneys to the general cir
culation.
Peruna stimulates the kidneys to ex-
crete from the blood the accumulating
poison, and thus prevents the convul-
sions which are sure to follow if the
poisons are allowed to remain. Tt gives
great vigor to the hearts action and
digestive system, both Of which are apt
to fail rapidly in this disease.
Kidney diseases are more liable in
summer than in winter. Send for .

DR.. Hartman. This book will be sent

You need not break the glasses of
a telescope or coat them over with
paint, in order to prevent you from
seeing through them. Just breathe
upon them, and the dew of your
breath will shut out all the stars.
So it does not require great crimes
to hide the light of Gods counte-
nance. Little faults Can do it just
as well. Take d shield and cast a
spear upon it, and it will leave in it
one great dent. Prick it all over
with a million little needle shafts,
and they will take the polish from it
far more than the piercing of the
spear. So it is notso much the great
sins which take the freshness from
our conscience, as the numberless
petty faults which we are all the
