For Nursery
EMERGENCIES

In the homes of many practical
mothers a plan is being carried out
that is said to have started in the
nurseries of England. There is found
upon the wall a large card, measuring
perhaps two by three feet. At the top
of the card are written the name and
address of the nearest doctor, or the
Beneath are the words: What to do,
and how to do it," Then there are a
list of the accidents that are liable
to happen to children, and the remedy
for each. Bites, and swallowed but
tons, bleeding nose, burns, commissions,
bruises, sprains, and p%oisons, with the
ever dreaded Group, are all provided
for; and in a box beneath the card
are kept absorbent cotton, court plas-
ter, lint, arnica and various necessar-
les that are only to be used in case
of accident. When general chaos
reigns, and even the most intelligent
have lost their wits, this card is in
valuable. To be able to read and UNI
derstand It, might be one of the tests
used in engaging a nurse maid. Print
ed cards are more easily read than
those that are written, and one ener-
getic mother who believes in living up
to her knowledge, after carefully pre-
pairing one of these cards and sub
hitting it to a we'll known physician,
had a number of duplicates printed for
distribution in the nurseries of her
friends. She claims that the apprecia-

Tricks of Peanut Vendors.

Boys who sell peanuts in the grand
stands at the baseball grounds are
never discouraged If there is nothing
doing" in their line until after the
fifth inning. Patrons of the game do
not begin to feel "peekish" until after
5 o'clock, and then the peanut boy be-
gins to work automatically. If he
sells one bag in a row Of men he does
not pass on to the next isle, but waits
in the back seats until his first Gus
toner begins to eat peanuts. In a
minute or two men who never had any
thought Of buying peanuts beckon to
him to come forward. Usually his
basket is empty before he reaches the
next aisle and he goes back for a fresh
supply. One bag of freshly roasted
peanuts in the hands of a man who
eats them Is though he enjoys them
is sure to create an appetite for a
dozen lore bags among his neighbors.

1t began to look q serious matter for old
Joe whether he would much longer b.

sented him with q bottle OF st. Jacobs

followed the advice given; he crawled
home the next morning and babe his

Jacobs Oil "a gentleman gave him"
and undoubtedly his wife did rub, 10,
when old Joe went On duty at night hs
met his friend and benefactor, to
whom he remarked: Them Oils YOU
gave me Guv'nor, did give me a doing:
they was like pins and needles for

Joe began to run and jump about like q
young colt. All pain, stiffness and
soreness had gone: he had been tell

Oil had done for him. Old Joe says
now he has but one ambition in life.
and that Is to always to be able to

st. Jacobs Oil serves tie rich and

1t has conquered pain for fifty years,

Boom Tow MS Learn Wisdom.

The problem Of the Western town
now is to make amends for the past
and to build up a substantial and per-
manent prosperity that shall make val
ues steady and the future assured. A
few years ago the rivalry was for a
surplus; now it is for a mere sufi-
cheney. In the early days were started
too many lodges, too many churches,
too many stores, too many newspapers.
Now it is not difficult and indeed it is
common, for the merchants to agree to
support only two of three papers to a
town of 5000 population or more,
where formerly there were five or six.
The problem of church consolidation is
receiving attention.-New York Post.

by his shoulder, with my pistol ready,
pattering off prayers in a tremulous
rapid whisper; and l confess, horrid as
the thought may seem, l despised him
for thinking of supplications in a mo-
ment so critical and thrilling. In the
meantime Clara, who was dead white
but still possessed of her faculties, had
displaced the barricade from the front
door. Another moment, and she had
pulled it open. freight and moon
light Illuminated the links with con-
fused and changeful luster, and far
away against the sky we could see a
long trail of glowing smoke.
Mr.. Huddlestone, filled for the mo-
ment with a strength greater than his
own, struck Northmour and myself a
back-hander in the chest, and while we
were thus for the moment incapacitat-
ed from action, lifting his arms above
his head like one about to dive, he ran
straight forward u of the pavilion.

stone! Kill me, and spare the others"
His sudden appearance daunted, I
suppose, our hidden enemies; for
Northmour and l had time to recover,
to seize Clara between us one by each

ance, ere anything further had taken
place. But scarce had we passed the
threshold when there came near a doz-

rection among the hollows of the links.
Mr.. Huddlestone staggered, uttered a
weird and freezing cry, threw up his
arms owe his head and fell backward
On the turf.
"Traditore! Traditore!" cried the
invisible avengers.
And just then a part Of the roof of
the pavilion fell in, SO rapid was the
progress of the fire. A loud, vague
and horrible noise accompanied the
collapse, and a vast volume Of flame
went soaring up to heaven. Huddle-
stone, although God knows what were
his obseQuies, had a fine pyre at the
moment of his death.

FAMOUS BATTLE CRIES.

A war cry that resembles Remember
the Maine!" was that which Gen. Sam
Houston gave to his troops at the battle
of San Jacinto, the fight which gave
freedom and independence to Texas.
Col. Travis was in command Of about
1S5 Texan soldiers in the fort called the
Alamo at Bexar. There he was sur
rounded by a greatly superior force I'M
der the Mexican dictator, Santa Anna.
On the morning of the 9Th Of March,
1886, the little garrison Of the Alamo
capitulated, on the pledge of the Mexi-
can general that their lives would be
spared. Notwithstanding this pledge
Col, Travis and his entire force we're
massacred as soon as they had surren-
dered. Their dead bodies were gath
cred together, a huge pile Of wood vas
heaped upon them, and they were
burned to ashes. This fearful act Of
barbarity stirred the Texans to intense
wrath and implanted in their breasts
a fierce thirst for vengeance. On April
10, 1886, Gen. Houston, with about 700
men, ave battle at San Jacinto to San
ia Anna, with nearly three times the
number of Mexicans, and, in spite of
the disparity of numbers, Houston's lit
tie force swept the Mexicans like chaff
before the wind. 1t was more q slaugh-
ter than a battle.
Just before the assault Of the Texans
was made on the army Of Santa Anna
Houston addressed his soldiers in a
fervid speech, closing with the words,
Remember the Alamo!" These words
fell upon the ears Of the Texans with
wonderful effect. Every soldier in the
little army at the same instant
repeated the words 1.-The, Alamo" until
they became a Shrek for revenge that
struck terror to the souls of the Next
ms When the battle was over it was
found that only seventy Texans had
been killed, while $50 Mexicans were
left dead on the field.
Remember the Alamo!" was evil
IDENTIFY a battle cry that not only nerved
the arms Of the avengers, but paralyzed
the resistance Of the Mexicans.

I should have the greatest difficulty
to tell you what followed next after
this tragic circumstance. It is all to
me. as l look back upon it, mixed,
strenuous and Intellectual. like the
struggles of a sleeper in a night
mare. Clara, / remember, uttered q
broken sigh and would have fallen for
ward to earth had not Northmour and
I supported her insensible body. l do
not think we were attacked; l do not
remember even to have seen an assail-
ant; and l believe we deserted Mr..
Huddlestone without a glance. only
remember running like q man in a
panic, now carrying Clara altogether
in my own arms, now sharing her
weight with Northmour, now scuf1ing
confusedly for the possession Of that
dear burden.
Why we should have made for my
camp in the Hemlock Den, or how we
reached it, are points lost forever to
my recollection. The first moment at
which I became definitely sure, Clara
had been suffered to fall against the
outside OF my little tent, Northmour
and / were tumbling together on the
ground, and he, with continued se-
rocity, was striking for my head with
the butt Of his revolver. He had al
ready twice wounded me on the scalp,
and it is to the consequent loss of
blood that l am tempted t o attribute
the sudden clearness OF my mind.

"Northmour," I remember saying.
"you can kill me afterwards. Let us
first attend to Clara"
He was at that moment uppermost.
Scarcely had the words passed nv
lips. when he had leaped to MS feet
and q toward the tent, and the next
moment he was straining Clara to his
heart and covering her unconscious
hands and face with his caresses.
"Shame!" / cried. Shame to you.
Northmour!"
And. giddy though / still was, /

and shoulders.

Not she! And now she may be dying:

and let me help her"
He confronted me for a moment,
white and menacing; then suddenly he
stepped aside.
Help her, then" said he.
I threw myself on my knees beside
her and loosened, as well as I was
able, her dress and corset; but while
was thus engaged, a grasp descended
on my shoulder.
Keep your hands OF her." said
Northmour, fiercely. "Do you think

The East Maine conference, of which
Mr.. Frost is a member, does not meet
until April 23, and although the matter
of the transfer was practically settled at
st. Adams, it was thought best to wait
until the close of the Maine conference
before making the change. Mr.. Frost
