The Giant Folding Bed.

1t was against Mr.. Bentlcy's advice
that Cora bought the giant folding bed.
They lived ON the sixth floor in a small
'tive-rooms s-and-a- bath steam heated all
improvements fit, and he said that
such huge folding bed was out of all
proportion to the size Of the bedroom.
But Mrs. Bentley had set her heart ON
it, and Mr. Bentley has not been hus-
band SO long as to feel like thwarting
any legitimate wish.
When she went down to the store,
she found she was just in time to get
one at half price What luck! She
had expected to pay $35 for the bed,
and she got it at $25, although by
what process of arithmetic twenty five
becomes the half of thirty i've she did
not stop to inquire.
But with the reduced price of the
bed her good luck ended, and she en-
tered upon a chapter Of annoyances
that would have made the d dear as
a gratuity.
The bed people were just moving
out and were too busy to send the bed
home. Five separate expressmcn re-
fused to stir their wagons when they
learned that it was giant. She began
to wish that it was a trundie bed.
But at last an expressman who was
just starting in business and who was
therefore inexperienced contracted Tor
50 to deliver it.
She reflected that the salesman had
told her that it was a very convenient
size, as one side of the room did not
need to be papcrcd when the bed was
up, for 1t took up the entire wall space.
So she went and waited for the bed
with all the ardor of small child.
Every time the dumb waiter blew she
ran out to see if they were trying to
send it up that way, but when it finally
arrived after a wait of four hours it
came in at the front door.
After ten minutes or SO Mrs. Bent
ley heard mastoaonic footsteps on the
stairs, the crash of falling globes, and
she knew that they were bringing the
bed up stairs. SO did all the other
| fiat dwellers. When she looked over
the staircase, there were from three tc
four heads beneath her, all looking
down
The arrival at different landings was
punctuated by the crash of glass and
the fall of plaster. And on the third
floor the bed .elI on one of the men
Luckily he was fat G, r;nan, and he

Long before that there was string
of home returning heads of families
separated from their little ones by the
Chinese wall Of bed. Those who
were athletic enough climbed over anG
escaped to their apartments, but the
rest had to content themselves will
throwing kisses to their beloved one:
and telling them not to despair.
Mrs. Bentley had not hitherto known
there were so many people living il
the house. The stairs were black will
them, and the bed moved with the de
liberation of a glacier.

as hard to excel in useful employ
ments, in bread winning activities, as
they do to carry off the honors at foot
ball games and sports generally, it
would lift them to higher plane than
ever the field of amusements can.
The young people, however, must
not be censured too severely, for it is
mostly the parents fault that they do
no better. In their desire to make
things pleasant and agreeable for them,
they neglect to qualify them for per-
manent success and comfort. Many
parents endure untold hardships for
the sake Of furnishing the needful to
polish and spoil their children.
If a child has enough grit, it doesn't
take great sums of money to lift him
above the level. l once knew little
girl, and she was what the world
would call poor little girl, who had
little chance to learn either books or
work.
She was a bright child, and took
notice how others Of her age went to
school, and dressed better, and had en-
joyments of many kinds she could not
have because of her humble environ
ments. She made up her mind while
yet young that she would not always
be an underling; she would do some
thing or somehow get fuller enjoy
ment of the good things of life. She
could see no better way to begin than
by trying to deserve better things.
She would take the advice of the
prophet and 'learn to do WE'LL" and
begin right there at home to do with
all her might whatever she found to do.
Was a room to be swept, potato
pared or a stocking darned, It was done
in way that no one could complain
of. She could not be spared to 60 to
school much of the year, but she could
find some leisure to read and study
grammar and history and improve her
self generally:
The neighbors began to observe
what superior child she was, and as
she advanced in years she was asked
20 Join literary societies, and help in
church sociables, or if any pains-tak-
ing thing was needed to be done among
the people Of the vicinity, she was
sent for; she would not give it up un-
til it was done right.
So Lizzie came to he of great use,
and small sums of money were often
given her for her services. Then she
began to be sought in broader fields,
and sue came to be known beyond the
borders of her own State. But did
you ever know of a woman of real
merit but some man would rise up and
desire to protect her (the poor weak
ling y and make her happy for life :
Such a protectorship is so delightful
to think of that he mostly gets the
chance to show his prowess in that
line. So Lizzie married. 1t is usual
to stop story while the honeymoon
is in its first quarter, but more might
be said if space permitted...It is enough
to add that the life of Lizzie shows
that perfection wins, and what time
wisely spent yields bountiful returns.

THE NAGGING HABIT.

There Is one exceedingly dlsaSreea-
bic habit in which some people fall
without seeming to notice it. This is
nagging. They cannot say what they
have to say and then let it alone, but
keep pccking and pecking at it on
every occasion, and if occasions do
not arise naturally they make them.
In this nagging sarcasm or irony bears
Il leading part. A thing may be said
once or twice as PLEASANT railery in
a genial humor, but when repeated
over and over it ceases to be fun. 1t
then cuts. Sarcasm is two edged
tool: it cuts and wounds the one at
whom it is aimed and it irritates and
roughens the one who uses it. 1t is a
dangerous tool for one to use who
wishes to be either kind or just. 1t
comes easily to the lips, and the intel
lect takes a certain kind Of delight in
aptncss, ingenuity or sharpness. Its
use grows on one: at least the habit
becomes so habitual that it is used un-
consciously. However good natured-
ly one seems to take it, it is almost
certain to leave sting; there is a
wound that hurts. Struggle against
it as one will, there will often be an
impression carried that some part of it
is meant in earnest.
Too often do all Of us wound the
feelings of others by carelessness in
speech. We canot too carefully guard
ourselves againt the nagging habit.
1t rasps and wears out the best of dis
positions. Let us endeavor ever to
make our speech kindly even when
obliged to find fault. "a blow with a
word strikes deeper than blow with
sword" We shall never err by
speaking too kindly. These naggars
are often kind at heart and would not
willingly wound another. They have
formed that habit unconsciously and
are not aware of how frequently they
indulge in that kind of talk. 1t does
not occur to them that any one may
take further meaning than they have
meant or that any part be taken seri-
ously. 1t is unavoidable, however,
that this is so.
The nagging habit is the real reason
why some women find it it difficult to
retain servants, 1t is for the sharp
ness of their tongues that some really
excellent people are avoided and dis
liked in society. People dread the
tongue lashings that slip so easily from
the hps and without real malace, but
they nevertheless cut deep. Let us
put a gard on ourselves and see that
this habit of sarcastic speech and nag
ging is not ours. The Chinese have a
saying that "a mans conversation is
the mirror Of his thoughts" There is
truth in it. II we habitually talk in a
certain way, we grow to be that way
| in character.

When WI Ting Fang, the famous Chin

somewhat forgetful from severe cold,
missed one day from the front of his cap the
immense diamond he always wears there,
he was dreadfully frightened. A friend
pointed out that the statesman had inad-
vertently donned his turban wrong side

the rear. Had WI Ting Fang been wear

felt it doing its work, warming and max

the pain and soreness, promoting the free
circulation of the blood, stimulating the
skin and lungs to proper action, and SO
dissoluing and banishing the malady. Thus

THE DRINKING WATER ON
FARMS.

Drinking water on farms is given
but little consideration as to its purity
when it is derived from springs, but
many farms are supplied with water
from open wells, and its purity in such
cases depends largely upon the mode
of protecting the we'll and the surround
ings. Wells being deeper than bitches
Or drains, and the tendency Of water
being downward, much soluble matter
goes into the we'll that is unknown to
the farmer. The water may appear
clear and pure, be free of odor, and yet
contain impurities. Farmers who do
not consider the matter have no con-
ception of the many sources from
which their drinking water is obtained.
1t comes from the clouds, of course,
but it does not fall into the well, only
reaching it after passing through the
surface soil and dissolving the impuri-
ties. Because the water passes through
sand it is not filtered of the soluble
matter If salt is dissolved in water
the salt is not removed by fltering, as
the dissolved salt will 90 with the
water to the lowerest place. If the
we'll is open there may be toads and
insects in the water, which drown and

cred and the surroundings kept clean,
with good drainage in all directions.
Driven wells are better than those that
are open, and should be used in prefer
ence.

BIRDS WITHOUT BRAINS.

1t is a very common idea that if the
brain of an animal is completely des-
troyed it will die, or if it lives it re-
mains in "comatose" condition. An
ingenious German has cut out some
pigeons brains with care, given the
wound time to heal, and show that the
birds can run about, fly measure dis
tance, eat, 90 to sleep in the dark,
wake up with the light, and, in fine, do
most of the things healthy normal
pigeon can do. Only memory and the
mating impulses are quite gone. 1t
is possible to discriminate very neatly
between the reflex acts and those in
volving some use of the memory.
Thus brainless falcon was put in
cage with some mice. Every time a
mouse moved the falcon jumped for it
and caught it. There the act ended.
The normal falcon eatt its mouse.
When its brain is gone, it pays no at
tention to its captured prey as soon as
the mousk ceases to move. These and
a great variety of other experiments
on rabbits, dogs, fishes, and still lower
orders have shed deal of light on the
obscure phenomena OF mental action

bodily actions eau be shown to be moth

This is, indeed, the drift OF present day
