THE HABIT OF KINDNESS.


know Of a home in which the very atmosphere
is so charged with human loving kindness that 1t
IS a delight to be a guest therein. have been
guest in that home for weeks at time. and never
heard a single harsh unkind word spoken TO or
about any one One day I said to the sweet and
gentle mistress Of the home:
DO tell me, il you can. the secret Of the beauufu
and unfaing kindness that forms part Of the
very atmosphere Of this home. What is the real
secret Of itg'
why I co not know that there IS any secret
about it. IT is a kind Of habit with US You know
that soma people fall into the habit Of always COM
planning. Others form the habit OF always speaking
sharply while still others habitually morose
and sulk continually. Now it is just as easy to
form good habit as a bad habit. and. if one
would only think so. it is just easy TO form the
habit OF kindness it is TO form the habit OF un-
kindness. When / a little girl at nome
my father had his children sing nearly every day;
oh. say a kind word Z YOU can;
And and
oh say a kind word II
AMI ana can.
IF any one spoke an unkind word in the house.
some one would be sure TO sing these lines, ana so
came speak kindly nearly all the time 80
much happiness came from ii that l resolved when
! came into possession Of a home of my own that
habitual kindness should be the rule there
1t is a beautiful rule | said.
1t is a rule that will bring peace and JOY to any
home and. I said before. any one can cultivate
the habit OF Kindness. IL. T. Harbour.

splendid health, the endowment of a healthy mother
 Dr. Pierce's Favoritc Prescription gives the mother health to give her child. It cures nervousness, nausea and sleepless- ness. It makes the body comfortable and the mind content. It gives physical vigor and muscular elasticity sosthat the baby's advent is practically painless.

 By aid of the small steam and gaso- line launches forty-one persons in South Garfield park were rescued. They had perched themselves in tree tops They had nothing to eat for thirty-six hours. These men were in fenced grove where they could keep a close watch of the situation. All they could see was the angry water rushing about among the trunks of the trees.

DISASTER AT KANSAS CITY.


 Kansas City. Mo, May 31.--With the waters of the Kansas and Missouri riV- CTS nearly four feet above the disds- trous level of 1881 and their swollen tides spread over twelve miles of the city and it's suburbs. the city tonight : enduring the worst flood of it's history. In the valley of the Kansas river be- tween this city and Kansas City. Kas.. a report has it that a number of lives have been lost. One report says fJur- teen and another fifty. but in the midst of the demoralization of traffic and the ordinary means of communication it is impossible to verify these reports.
 The financial loss has been increas- ing all day and bids fair to continue. In Armourdalc losses tC the packing i'm dustries and others exceed $2.5OO. 900. Armourdale, with a population of 16,O0O people. is deserted and it's site is marked cnly by the tops of the buildings and a number of fires All the bridges over the Kansas river are down and the on- ly communicarion with Armourdale is by boat.
 Kansas City tonight is without a water supply the flood having disabled the pumping station. Only one street car line is running, owing to the dis abling of the power plants. Not a train has gone out of the city except east today.
 Two thirds of Argentine is inundated. Forty-five hundred of the 6.500 inhabi- tants are homeless and nearly 5000 are destitute. Five bridges have been swept away. all the railroad tracks and factories are under water and business is suspended.
 The Santa Fe railroads loss is very heavy. The track is under water all the way to Holiday, eight miles from Argentine.
 RumOrs that the total number of deaths in the wholesale district of the city during the latter part of the day would reacn as high as fifty. but there is no direct evidence of this.
 High water and much damage to crops and railroads are reported from the Missouri river east of this city.
