The gepttewomau or man is distin-
guished in a crowd-not for the occu-
patton followed elsewhere, but-for
their loving character.
Look at that woman Of leisure as she
Tolls with fan and frets and stews at
weather and environment and RACES at
noise and dust, at child and people;
be absorbs look and character like
some bitter ale-as she ferments and
unconsclously spells life for herself and
other.
Behold this old lady, whose hand
may be either rough with toll. or pink
and soft-you never know the differ.
euce--her eyes beam with love and
kindness, her voice is genie. She
shares her seat and gives her aid tc
one In trou nle--stll has time TO help q
mother quiet. her sick babe. Any place
and everything she prizes good en- ugh
for her-aud nothing too good for
another in need. You feel that though

Is ROY atty at work, in calm. quiet
sweet composure. You feel the influ

An episode of Jan. 10, 1902:
Tick, took, goes new clock;
Left with Mr.. and Mrs Longstreet,
Men friends all around,
So daintily gowned; meat,
Carrying baskets of dainties and
Unloaded their stock,
Excepting the clock:
Right on the clean kitchen table,
While Richard l.. stared
And Mrs l. looked scared,
To find such large company able,
To enter right in,
With Clatter and din:
And add to the din a great dinner
For feasting and fun,
A surprise race to run;
The company, as usual, the winner
Then the hostess and host,
Were given roast,
AS Elder Platt called them to time:
Going on 10 present,
Saying, please don't resent,
For our object is grand and sublime.
This memento of love,
With hands that can move,
On face telling hours of the day;
These friends give to you,
With this object in view,
That no work time be idled away.
For work the Master is calling,
The need is appalling;
For our help He is ever appealing.
Throw out the life line"
The life tree is thine,
And is for all nations tealing.
Then Mr.. Longstreet arose,
In words of fine prose,
Said, I'm neither a speaker nor stole,
But you, dear thoughtful flock,
We accept your nice clock,
And our deeds shall be henceforth
heroic.
Mr.. Taylor has power
To please by the hour, story;
And was called on 20 tell his glad
Till the clock told apace,
Twas time for the home race:
Time TO leave them "alone in their
glory

Orixin of the Name "Puss."

A great many years ago the people OF
Egypt. who had many idols, worshiped
the cat among others. They thought
she was like the moon. because she
was more active at night and because
her eyes changed like the moon, when
is sometimes full and at other times
only light crescent, or, as we say,
half moon. Did you ever notice pussy S
eyes change? So they made an ldol
with a cats head and named it Pasht.
The same name they gave to the MOON
for the word means the face of the
moon.
The word has been changed to pas
and "Pus" and has come at last to be
"Puss," the name the most of us give
to the cat. Puss and pussy cat are pei
names for kitty anywhere now. VINO
ever thinks of the name as given to hel
thousands of years ago and people ther
bowed down and prayed to her?

to live there. felt very lonely and dis
pirited. Instead of the green woods
round my home | had only the smoky
chimneys for my horizon. At last an
old familiar face looked into mine, a
friend from my lost home, the only
thing that was not altered round me,
the dear old moon She shone in upon
me with her kind, round, beaming face
lust as she shone between the willows
on the moor | kissed my hand to her,
and she shone straight into my room
and promised to tell me of the things
which she had seen. This is one of the
tales she told me:
yesterday said the moon, IL was
looking down into a little courtyard.
There | saw a hen and eleven chickens.
A pretty little girl was playing round
them. The hen was frightened ana
spread her wings over the brood, ana
the little girls father came out ana
scolded the child. Tonight ! happened
to be looking down into the self same
yard. The little girl came out. stole on
tiptoe to the henhOuse and crept in
among the hens and chickens.
,"They cackled and clucked in great
fright. and the little girl ran after
them. saw it all clearly, for was
looking through a hole in the wall.
felt very angry with the naughty CIR
and was very glad when her father
came out and, Selling her roughly by
the arm, scolded her more severely
than before.
"She threw back her head, and grea
tears stood in her blue eyes. What are
, YOU doing hereT he cried.
"She wept. 4 wanted to 60 in ant

A few years ago clever child plan
list came over from Hungary to per-
form in London. At the early age of
seven she had won gold medal at the
Berlin Conservative of Music. and her
marvellous performances in England
were greatly appreciated by all who
heard them. The boy pianist, Josef

ton in musical circles about ten years
AGO. is another eminent example.

The li1net is one of the few song
birds that like cold weather. He Is
very shy, and should you hear his beau
tiful song some of these winter days
keep very still. and you will see him in
his crimson and brown coat. He Is
about as large as the yellow bird and
lives on seeds of weeds and elderber-
ries.
The nest Of the linnet is usually built
in birches or willows near the ground.
The eggs are light greenish blue, with
brown spots.
