Case of Emergency.


 The doctor in charge of the school had always laughed at the idea of our ever making practical use of our First Aid to the Injured' lessons. He had muttered something about "shoemak- CTS sticking to their lasts," and then had said: You teach the children that's your line-and wait for me to come if anything happens"
 Therefore, when our delicate little Mamie fell down stairs, we had not merely the desire to give her immedi- ate relief, but also a deep-seated but unspOken wish to show the man that we could do something. Mamie had murmured, My ankle-I twisted my ankle," before she tainted. To bind it then might help, and certainly could not harm her. The emergency bandages were produced, and, delighted to see that there was as yet no appreciable swelling, we bound the leg in most ap- proved style from toes to knee.
 We had just finished when the doctor came He snorted at sight of the ma- terials around, then, after an examina- ton of few minutes, he said: ''Very good-very good, indeed! But you've bandaged the wrong foot" "New York Times

A PLEA FOR THE HOME.
It Is Necessary for Character Build
 ing, Says Bishop Potter.

ing, Says Bishop Potter.
 In an article in the Woman's Home Companion Bishop Potter discusses the passing of the home in our large cities and dwells on the fact that in many cases children are brought up by ser wants rather than by parents. Here is his conclusions:
 I If there is no longer to be any home life, any home circle and home sacri- fees for the dear homes sake, then we need not be in any uncertainty as to what we shall have to anticipate. You cannot make character by means of a goyerness, tutor and a groom.
 And meantime let the young found CTS of homes make a resolute beginning. You are looking forward to marriage and the founding of family, my young brother, or you, my dear. girl, whom may God bless and guide always! Re solve to have some law for the home, and to give some regular and sufficient time in it to your children. If we are to recover out of its well-nigh lost es- tate the beautiful and gracious insti- tuition of the home, we must make the business of doing so something of set purpose and of definite plan. All the way from the top to the bottom of our vast and complex social structure in the life of the wage-earner and in that of the capitalist, the clerk, the pro- fessional man, the mechanic-that an- cient and divine institution must be lifted to its true place and held in it's rightful honor. Schools, gymnasia, bathing-houses, recreation-piers, H. braries, model tenements, better food, ventilation, improved sanitary condi- tions, and the like, are all of value in their place; but that which makes men and women for God and humanity, and the better service of their land and age, Is first of all the personal touch of some strong and tender hand in the home. God setteth the solitary in families wrote the Psalmist long ago. Let us respect His order and follow His way. Home, Sweet Home is said to have been written by a lifelong wanderer who never had one. It is an immortal witness to the deep and inextinguisha- ble hunger of the human heart"

Changed Times.

Times have changed indeed from the time when Sydney Smith complacently observed that the United States hs ! so much wilderness clearing to do that it might we'll take it's literature, learn ing and luxury in the bulk from Eng fish factories.
 "Why," he had asked, should the Americans write books when a six weeks passage brings them, in their own tongue, our sense, science and gen ius in bales ana hogsheads? Prairies. steamboats, gristmills, are their nat uIal objects for centuries to come"
 We might almost reverse this and ask, 'Why should the English feel i'll at ease when six days passage brings them our sense, science and genius?'
 For the time at least the Rev. Syd- ney Smiths chief notoriety seems to be that he was the author of certain observations whose truthfulness has proved as brief as it was bitter.-Rar- per's Weekly.

The Irishman,s Reouest.

In the days when fogging was in vogue as a punishment in the British navy a Scotchman and an Irishman, on the arrival of their ship in harbor, ob- tained leave to go ashore for a couple days, and they overstaid the period of leave granted them. When they did put in an appearance, they were order ed 50 lashes each. On the day of the punishment a parade was ordered to witness the infiction of the logging.
 When all was ready, the Scotchmal asked as a favor to be allowed a piece of canvas on his back while he receiv. cd his flogging. The captain granted his request and, turning 10 the Irish. man, asked him if he required an : thing on his back while lie was being logged. to which he replied. If ye blaze. yer honor.

 Romieu. the famous PariSian wit, was one day caught in shower and forced to seek refuge in a doorway of the Opera House It was o'clock al- ready, and he had an engagement in the Cafe de Paris for that very hour.

Romieu was seized with q sudden inspiration. He rushed out and grasp ed the stranger by the arm and gravely Installed himself under the protecting umbrella.
 ''I am ovcrjOyed 10 see you" he im- mediately began. "I have been looking for you for two weeks. Lwanted to tell you about Clementine."
 Without giving the stranger time to express his surprise Romieu rattled away with gossip and anecdote until he had led the unknown companion to the door of the Cafe de Paris Then he

 Romieu hastened within the cafe and amid great laughter told the adventure to his friends. Suddenly one of them said:

France and the Potato.

There was much difficulty in intro ducing tlle potato into France It was only toward the end of the reign Of Louis XIV that it began to be used. The learned had opposed it's introduc- ton systematically, saying it produced lerrcsy, and the common people re- fused to test it even on their live stock.
 A trick at last established it. Fields were planted all over France with po- tatoes and carefully guarded until the tubers were ripe, it being given out that these fields were growing a new thing specially for the king and that trespassers would be prosecuted. Now. the laws at that time were severe. A man might be hanged when he hunted in the wild forest, for the game was the seigneur's, almost each one of whom kept his private gallows. Tres pass against the king implied, there. fore, terrible punishment.
 The danger of the punishment proved itself an alluring bait. As the contriv- CT, wise in foresight, had seen, the fields that were purposely left unguard ed were piliaged right and left, the po- tatoes eaten, some kept and planted and the tuber at last effectually intro duced in France.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-The big

that is rank and irreverent guess.
