HE COULDN'T TAKE A DARE.
Charlie, I am tired of hearing you
promise me that you will never be
dared by any one again, so I am going
to try something else. Now, before we
take this trip to Uncle Ezra's 1 am go
ing to write little pledge. which you
must sign, and you must carry it in
your pocket. Then when any one
dares you to do anything you can look
at the card and remember you have
pledged your word not to break it. See,

sign" Charlie took it and read it:
do faithfully promise my mamma
that I will not take a dare from any
one while 1 am in the city.
Charles Edward Keith.
Nov sign your name right here"
And Charlie, with a great flourish Of
the pen signed his name. Mrs. Keith
breathed a sigh of relief, for she knew
he would try hard to keep this pledge.
This was to be the little boys first visit
to the city, and he was so excited over
it that he was ready to promise almost
anything. He was a dear little fellow,
with only one serious fault. He would
not be dared to do anything. If his
playmates saw large boy do some
thing hazardous, they would whisper,
Lets dare Charlie Keith to do it."
And he would try no matter how haz-
ardous it might be to life and limb The
word parachute had occurred in the
lesson a few months before, and the
teacher explained it to the class and
how it was used. The next Saturday a

INDIANA.
A romantic tale, published In 1892,
which is of interest chiefly as being the
first which brought the distinguished
author, George Sand" into note, and
also of portrayIng something of the au-
thor's own experience in married life.
The scene is alternately in the Castle
de Barre. the estate of the aged Col.
Delmare. a retired officer of Napoleon's
army, where he lives with his youthful
Creole wife, Indiana; and in Paris, where
the wife visits her aristocratic aunt, and
where lives Raymond de Ramiere, the
heartless and reckless lover first of her
foster sister aid maid Noun, and then
of herself. Estranged from her in-match-
ed husband, the young wife is drawn
into the destinations of Raymond, whose
artfulness succeeds in deceiving the
colonel, the, wife, and all save the faith

situations and dire conflicts of emotions
follow, with much discourse on love and
martial duty, and frequent discussions
of the social and political questions of
the day; the colonel representing the
Napoleonic idea of empire, Raymond the
conservative 1egitfnist, and Sir Ralph
the modern republican. The descriptions
of nature are vivid, and the characters
are skillfully drawn however untrue
they may seem to actual life.

PASSING OF TIE BROOM.

The broom, which has always been
considered the particular weapon of the
housewife, has now given way to the
carpet sweeper. What a jolly time the
girls will have learning their military
movements with these clumsy domestic
implements. Fancy using carpet
sweeper to down a burglar or to chase
a strange dog out of the kitchen or to
scare a mouse out of a corner!
But the edict has gone forth. The
broom, so long a useful and respected
piece Of kitchen furniture, is now used
only occasionally. Women have discov-
cred that carpet sweepers not only gather
up more dust. but that they gather it
without distributing it in the air and
over the furniture. Labor is Eghteped.

ANIMAL DENTISTRY.


A dog fancier at Chicago recently paid
dentist $3.50 for Growing the broken
front teeth of prize winning dog. A
New South Wales pastoralist has also
tried dentistry on a sheep with great
success. He had a valuable American
ram, which found great difficulty in mas
ticating its food, owing to the loss of
teeth. Artificial teeth were inserted,
and the animal has since vigorously at
tackled Its fodder. This is believed to
be the first case Of the kind in that
colony.
SHOEING THE GEESE.
At Warsaw. Upland, the people hold
goose fair and sale every year. The
geese, several hundred thousand in num-
Der, are driven to Warsaw from all parts
Of the country. Many of them come
from distant provinces, and as a conse-
quence have to travel many miles over
roads that would wear out their feet
tect them. This is done by driving
them through tar poured upon the
ground and then through sand. The
operation is repeated several times, and
by the time they are ready to start their
feet are completely covered with hard
crust which effectually protects them
from all injury.

A DRESS ALRuM.

What seems a rather whimsical ca
price of young woman has in it perhaps
a bit of suggestive value. With the be-
ginning of her real young ladyhood-that
is, from the time her skirts went down to
the floor and her hair went up to the top
of her head--she has kept dress album.
In this goes a piece large enough to indi-
cate the design of every gown she has
bought and the date of its purchase, to-
gether with the date of discarding. The
price, too, is attached to the record. The
plan, If practiced generally by women,
might prove instructive. AS an object
lesson in comparative values it would
demonstrate the faults and virtues Of
certain fabrics and might, if persevered
in, prove useful in recalling the becoming
or durable qualities of forgotten toilets.
