Called In Haste,

A physician, like a soldier, must re-
spond to The call of duty without al
ways waiting to discover the why and
wherefore. A doctor, who is evident
ly the soul of devotion TO his profess
sion, was recently put to the test and,
much to his subsequent irritation, was
not found wanting. 1t befell in this
wise, according to the Doctors report:
One day last week l was just sitting
down to dinner, when | received a call
from a little fye-year-old girl whose
father lives in the adjoining block. She
was out of breath, but she managed to
gasp out for me to come up to the
house right away. Thinking it must
be something serious that should cause
the little girl to be sent for me, I seized
my m~edicine-case and hurried Off.
who is sick?" 1 asked, picking her up
in my arms and carrying her, so that l
might get along faster. Elizabeth"
she answered. "Is she very sick?" l
asked. 81 think it is typhoid fever"
she replied. This gave me a scare and

surprised that nc one met us. This
way" cried the little girl, selling my
hand. Allowing myself to be led along,
l soon found myself in a bedroom by
the side of a dolls cradle, in which re-
posed a doll with a red rag tied round
its throat. l was dazed for a moment

that she needed was a spanking. l
meant the little girl, not Elizabeth.
But from what l heard as 1 came away

derstood and that Elizabeth got the
spanking.

A Lesson in Politeness.

Adrian is three years old, and a few
days ago his father bought him his
first cap. 1t is a real soldier cap, with
a sword and gun crossed in front.
Now" said his aunt, IF Adrian is
big enough to have a cap, he is big
enough to know what to do with it,"
She took him up in her lap and eX-
planned very carefully what gentle
men do with their hats, and how they
take them off when they say How do
you do?" or ..Good-by" to a lady, and
she told him he must never wear his
cap in the house. At the conclusion
of the lesson Adrian went out on the
porch to practice it. When Miss Nina
passed he took off his cap and said,
How do?" why how do you do, lit
tie dear?" said Miss Nina, smiling.
When mamma zane up the street he
took off his cap, and she kissed him
and called him her precious little man.
Then he took off his cap and bowed to
all the ladies that came along. When
he went in to eat his dinner he took
off his cap the minute he stepped in
side the door, but he thought it SO fine
that he had to keep it on the table
while he vas eating. That evening,
when papa took him out for a walk, he
raised his hat very politely to the
ladies on the porch when he said
good-by. He has had his cap for two
weeks now and he has not nee for
gotten about taking it off in the house,
n whenever he speaks to a lady or
an old gentleman. | know some boys
twice as old and twice as big as Adrian
who have not yet learned that lesson
in ~politeness. 1t is a little thing, to be
sure, but it is one of the little things
that mark the gentlemanly boy. Does
it not pay to learn all these little
trifhes well ?-Selected.

Many persons unable to read that
most interesting book, The Romance
of Isabel, Lady Burton" may like to
see the rules she wrote upon her mar
rage In her diary for her own guild
ance in the new relation-rules to
whose observance she believed much
of her subsequent happiness was due:
First-Let your husband find in you
a companion, friend and adviser and
confidante, that he may miss nothing
at nome. Second-Be a careful nurse
when he is ailing, that he may never
be In low spirits about his health with
out a serious cause. Third-Make his
home snug. If it be ever SO small
and poor, there can always be a certain
chic about it. Men are always asham-
ed of a poverty-stricken home, and.
therefore, prefer the club. Attend
much to his creature comforts; allow
smoking or anything else, for If you
do not somebody else will. Make 1t
yourself cheerful and attractive, and
draw relations and intimates about
him, and the style of society QiteratD
SiNb oNANo iihiE Ioull IL lLlpAofS LII
educate yourself in every way, that
you may enter into his pursuits and
keep pace with the times. Fifth-Be
prepared at any moment to follow him
at an hours notice and rough it like a
man. SiXth-Do not try to hide your
affections from him, but let him see
and feel it in every action. Never re-
fuse him anything he asks. Observe
a certain amount of reserve and deli
cacy before him. Keep up the honey
moon romance, whether at home or
in the Gesert. At the same time do
not make prudish bothers, which only
disgust, and are not tr, } modesty. Do
not make the mistake of neglecting
your personal appearance, but try to
look and dress we'll to please his eye.
Seventh-Perpetually work up his in
terest with the world, whether for pub
fishing or for appointments. Let him
feel when he has to go away that he
leaves a second self in charge of his
affairs at home, SO that If sometimes
he is obliged to leave you behind he
may have nothing of anxiety on his
mind. Take an interest in everything
that interests him. To be companion
able a woman must learn what inter-
ests her husband, and, if 1t Is only
planting turnips, she must try to UNI
derstand turnips.-Philadelphia Times.

How Ants Know Their Own Family.
1t is known that ants recognize each
very easily. When an ant en-
tiers a colony which is not its own
1t is almost Immediately put to death.
A German naturalist has discovered
and has established that it is by the
sense of smell that this subtle recog-
milton takes place. If an ant touches
water it is invariably attacked by it's
sisters on its return to the colony, the
water having removed from the ant
the special property on which depend
cd the recognition. The following ex-
pertinent would prove it: Some ants
were crushed, and with the Juice thus
obtained an ant was smeared and
placed In a strange colony. If the ant
We're perfumed with the juice of this
colony, it was we'll received; if not,
1t was at once attacked. An ant
washed with alcohol at 30 degrees was
returned to it's nest and was attacked
as a stranger. On the contrary, put
at one side twenty-four hours before
being returned to the colony, 1t was
well received; that length of time be-
ing enough for the reparation of its
family odor. This odorous substance
which distinguishes one colony from
another is called matter or perfume
Of the nest.

Ways of Eskimo Children.

One might think that the queer lit
tie Eskimo children would find life
very, very dull now that they have so
little sunshine and the weather is so
cold away up there in northland. A
visitor among them assures us, how
ever, that they seem to be perfectly
contented in their little round nuts
with conical tops and one narrow
doorway. To begin with, they have
strange garments made of sealskin or
the skins of reindeer, bears, foxes and
even dogs. Beneath their outer suits
they wear more fur clothes, with the
hair turned inside, and stockings of
dogskin or reindeer skin. The boys
and girls look almost exactly alike,
and at this time of the year they are
so bundled up that about all you may
see of them is their eyes. In each
"igloo,' or home, a place is set apart
for the use of the children. There no
one may disturb them, and after the
girls have dressed their dolls, which
are made of wood and clothed in skins,
story telling time begins. Each child
takes a turn. When the time comes
the first story teller takes off his jacket
turns his face to the wall and COM
mences. And so the play goes on till
each has told a story.
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1900-03-24

Men in plenty are to be found that
will forgive wrong, insult an even per-
sonal violence, but few that ever for
give ridicule. To be made a laughing
stock to others cuts deeper to the quick
than to be convicted of lying and steal
ing; just as picking a pocket or rob-
bling a h%en-roost seems to set one in a
more contemplate light than raiding a
bank. Men are nightly given to TAX
ing themselves seriously, and they
want to have others take them SO.
Thence it Is that the way in which a
man stands ridicule is so searching a
test of character. Not without reason
has it been said: "Ridicule is the final
test of truth" for the truth that has
gone Though the fire of this martyr
dom, and comes out so triumphant as
to turn the laugh on the laughers
themselves, is thenceforth i'm
pregnable. Therefore, one of the first
lessons a sensible parent will insist on
with his children will be that of cour-
age to laugh at themselves, and to join
merrily in with the laughter of others
at their expense. Nothing so takes the
nonsense out of a child as timely ridi-
cule; nothing makes him so brave and
sensible as seeing the justice of it,
and joining in with the laugh against
himself. "He that sweareth to his own
hurt and changes not" may be a very
heroic character; but the boy that has
made a fool of himself, and, without
conceit or silly vanity can see the

Danger In Hot Water.

The hot water relaxes the muscles
of the face too much; in fact, it does
of the body also, and the person who
uses hot water on the face and does
not sponge it off with cold, will find
that the years produce a fiabbiness
which she bewails. The wrinkles will
begin around the ears, then they will
go about the mouth, and finally the
wrinkles grow into burrows and the
skin becomes soft and labby and falls
into lines. 1t is then usual for peo-
pie to say, What a lot of trouble that
oma must have had in her life"
What should really be said is, How
careless that woman has been of her
complexion" Any woman using proper
methods and taking it in time, can
keep her face as smooth and lineless
and fresh as a young girls.

Tying her bonnet under her chin,

But not alone in the silken snare
DID she catch her lovely floating hair,

She tied a young mans heart within,
They were strolling together up the hill,
Where the wind comes blowing merry
and chill;
And It blew the curls. a frolicsome race.
All over the happy. peach-eolored face,
Illl' scoldtng and laughing, she tied them
in,
Under her beautiful dimpled chin.
And it blew a color, bright as the bloom
or the pinkest fuchsia's tossing plume.
All over the cheeks of the prettiest girl
Ihat ever imprisoned a romping curl,
Or, tying her bonnet under her chin,
lied a young mans heart within.
Sleeper and sleeper grew the Hill;

AS, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied a young mans heart within.
Q western wind, do you think 1t was fair
To play such tricks with her floating
hair?
To gladly, gleefully do your best
To blow her against the young mans
breast,
Where he as gladly folded her in,
And kissed her mouth and her dimpleA
chin?
All! Ellery Van, you little thought
An hour ago, when you besought
This country lass to walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
What perilous danger you'd be in,
AS she tied her bonnet under her chin.

Cacti Will Grow in a Sealed Bottle.

Cacti Will Grow in a Sealed Bottle.
Growing cacti in a bottle is a new
and simple method that was recently
discovered in the Botanical gardens at
Berlin. A cordial bottle is about right
for the purpose. Clean it, cover the
bottom with ground an inch deep, wet
it thoroughly, and throw in two or
three cactus seed. Cork the bottle,
close it with sealing wax, and hang it
in a window where the sun strikes it
for several hours every day. In cold
weather the bottle must not be exposed
to the air. The opening and roofing
of the seeds and the development of
the plants will be almost as if by mag
ic. The plants will flourish for years,
a statement proven by the fact that
those at the Berlin Botanical gardens
have been sealed up for five years.
Growing cacti in this way should prove
an excellent scheme for a schoolroom
or in a house where children would
find the developing plants an unfail-
ing source of interest.
