There is something in the death Of a
little child says w. A. White, some
thing in it's infinite pathos that makes
all human creatures mourn. Because in
every heart that is not dead heart,
callouseda to all Joy or sorrow, some
little child is enshrined-either dead or
living and so love is the one universal
emotion Of the soul, and child death is
the saddest thing in all the world.
child's soul is such small thing,
and the world and the systems Of worlds
and the infinite stretches of illimitable
space are SO wide for childs soul to
wander in, that sane as we may be,
stolid as we may try to be, we think
imaginary and the figure of little feet
setting off on the far track to the end
of things, hunting God, wrings our
heart strings and makes our throat
grip and our eyelids CULVER.
And then a child dying, leaving this
good world Of ours, seems to have had
so small chance for itself. There is
something in all of us struggling against
oblivion, striving vainly to make some
real impress on the current of time and
a child dying can only clutch the hands
about it and go down-forever. 1t
seems so merciless, so unfair. Perhaps
that is why all over the world, the little
graves are cared for best. 1t is to the
| little graves we turn, and not to the
larger mounds in our keenest anguish:
to the little graves that the hearts are
drawn in our hours Of triumph. And so
the child, though dead, lives it's appoint
ed time and dies only in the fullness of
its years. The little shoes, the little
dresses, the "little tin soldier covered
with rust and the memories sweeter
than dreams of honeymoon, these are
lifes immortals, that never fade. And
though men and women come and 90
upon the earth, though civilizations may
wither and pass, these little images re-
main; and the sun and stars which see
men come and go, may see these little
idols before which every creature bows
and the sun and stars knowing no time
may think these children's relics are
also eternal,

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I think Mrs.
J. L. DIS suggestions to house-keep-
ers splendid, and I do think it so
helpful for the Chatterers to tell
their helpful experiences to one an
other.
I think I can amend the bed-bug
preventive, and save right much
work. I have seen many different
things tried to destroy them, but the
only thing hat has given me salts
faction is quicksilver. Scald the
Stats well, and rub the dust from the
head and foot pieces, and sides; take
the white of one egg to one ounce of
quicksilver, put together in a large
plate; beat with a fork until the egg
absorbs the quicksilver; then apply
with a feather to every crack and
crevice. The mortises and where
the ends of the Stats lie should have
a good supply. This quantity is suf-
fcient for three bedsteads. This
should be done in the month of
March; once in two or three years is
sufficient. This does not kill those al
ready Matched, but it prevents the
eggs Matching and therefore they
can't raise. We can by looking soon
