EFFECTUAl PUNISHMENT.

That the condemnation of a mans
own conscience is the most effectual
punishment is well illustrated by
story which the Louisville Herald
prints. For the sinner and for the Just
man the worst torture is mental. and
for the sinner no other merited torture
is so likely to work reform.
Late one summers night, as old DR..
Parkhurst was returning from a visit
to patient, he heard a whisper from
one Of his cellar windows, which had
been removed. He stopped and listened
intently.
$50 you've come at last, JIM" MUIR
INJURED the voice. "Well, I've found the
meat barrel, and precious little there
is in it, too. Here, you hold the bag
while l bring the pork
The old doctor quietly obeyed in
structions, and layer after layer of the
fat meat was hoisted out to him.
''There," said the thief, sit amt best
to be small in these things, so I've left
one piece. Now, lend hand, Jim. for
it's easier getting in than getting out
this small window.
DR.. Parkhurst had recognized the
voice as that of one of his neighbours,
man Of WHOM. better things might
have been expected. Therefore, he
thought it proper to give him lecture
before he lent the required assistance.
II am sorry, neighbor, that you are
reduced to this strait, and I must con-
TESS that | have never before suspect
ed your integrity" said the doctor
with solemn gravity. At this unex-
pected reJolnder the detected rogue
broke down and begged for pardon and
secrecy.
II will not have you arrested" said
the doctor, as he dragged his neighbor
from the cellor, ''nor will expose you,
on condition that this is the last time
you trespass upon your neighbors in
this manner. But I shall reserve the
privilege of telling this story when
ever and wherever please"
After that night Dr. Parkhurst told
the story dozens of times, often in the
very presence Of the conscience-s trick-
en- man, but no persuasions could ever
draw from him the name Of the guilty
person.
His course effectually reformed the
man, and was better than any public
punishment which could have been de-
yised.

CARE OF CONvALESCENTS.
Ways of Serving Food Attractive1y-
Should Not Oyerrate Strength.

Ways of Serving Food Attractive1y-
Should Not Overrate Strength.
There is almost as much science in
nursing the convalescent as there Is
in caring for the dangerously i'll. The
test of the convalescents strength is
delicate matter. Only the attending
physician can discriminate between
false and genuine vigor. On recover
ing from certain forms Of disease the
patient feels well and strong, and his
appetite has returned with more than
ordinary keenness. Yet it Is absolute
ly necessary to give him only the. SIM
plest food, and that very gradually,
because Of the delicate state of his di-
gestive organs.
One Of the greatest needs Of per-
son recovering from a long illness is
usually a complete change Of scene.
If it is not possible for him to move
into the country or into other sur
roundings, change into another room,
with different outlook, will generally
prove beneficial. If he is too weak to
be moved it is often helpful to change
the furniture or the pictures and brio
a-brac about the room. An invalid's
eyes weary Of seeing the same orna-
ments in the same place week after
week. An easel with q bright, pretty
picture, changed occasionally for an
other, is an attractive thing In the
convalescent's room. Whenever posi-
BILE q cluster Of flowers should be
brought with the tray Of food. If
there are only a few buds, they will
make the meal look more tempting
and will be something new for the pa
tent to look at.
A series Of dainty surprises in the
china service and the variety Of fare
will serve the same purpose. Trifing
things like these help to cheer a down
hearted invalid, and, together with
cheerfulness and sunshine, are as val
liable as medicine.
Care must be taken that a person
who has just recovered from a severe
fever or wearing disease does not
overwork or strain himself In the
slightest degree. The muscles Of the
heart and other organs are in a deli
cate state, and any strain may bring
on heart diseases or some chronic trou-
BILE. Children who have just recover
ed from severe cases Of typhoid, for
instance, should not be allowed to take
even the easiest gymnastic exercises
in school. It is often hard to impress
young teacher with this fact, as she
cannot realize that such simple exer-
cises, which are excellent for children
in health, are dangerous for those who
have just recovered from a wasting
illness.-New York Tribune.

GENTLE BOSTON TERRIER.
Breed of CANNES that Is Unknown Out
side of This Country.

Breed OF CANNES that Is Unknown Out
side of This Country.
There is an old saying, "A bird is
known by it's note" To this might
be added, ''and dog is known by his
bark" for a person acquainted with
dogs cannot only distinguish breeds at
a distance, but the huntsman proper
can recognize individually large per-
centage Of his hounds while in cover
simply from their voices. TO discover,
then, the origin of the Boston terrier
we will listen to his voice.
Undoubtedly it is not of the bulldog,
for the bulldog does not bark like
terrier, but gurgles as only the bull
breed can. AS surely as the hound
note of an Airedale terrier "giyes
away" his ancestry, so does the rolling,
cultural cross between a grunt and
growl Of the handsome little brindle
dog from Boston point at once to his
progenitor--the game, fighting or
business" dog Of England the bull
and terrier.
The evolution of the Boston terrier
is one of the most interesting subjects
that have grown out Of the higher in
terest taken In dogs generally during
the last two decades. 1t would be hard
to realize here in America that the
Boston terrier is practically unknown
in the other parts of the world. Here
no show is complete without it's Bos-
ton terriers. The classes are often the
backbone Of the exhibition-indeed,
there are few sections that create such
an interest, and let it be added a de-
served interest.
1t has been remarked that the Bos-
ton terrier is the outcome Of the bull
dog and terrier cross. Without being
ready tongued or in any way facetious
he might be described as the "cul-
tured'' gentleman dog, shaped and
modelled into something highly edu-
Gated, out Of the very rough and ready
material that went to make up the
business or fighting dog of the Lon
don and Black country pits.
The dog that was the admired of
the bucks Of the time Of George III.
and the regency; the self-same dog
that is held in high esteem among the
dog fighters Of to-day, has been called
into use in better way; he has be-
come a gentle dog-in short, the dog Of
the boudoir and not Of the Bowery.-

Spanish and French. A superb dash
for the enemys trenches by the pick

New Uses for Old Stockings.

The tops Of old wooden stockings
make good "every-day' mittens for
children The child's hand may be
used for pattern.
Knee protectors for the small boy
can also be made from the tops They
cling close to the stocking, and can
easily be held in place with a couple
Of small safety pins at the top, where
they will not show.
Leggings to protect the children's
limbs from the cold and their stock
ings from mud can be made from the
legs of old stockings.
If the feet of old stockings are put
on in place of the shoes, the children
mas have a romp in the evening with
out disturbing the rest Of the family.
The upper part of women's stock
ings make good sleeve protectors, as
they require no pinning or elastic to
hold them up.
The legs of children's heavy ribbed
stockings, if worn too much for any
other use, make excellent cloths for
washing the cook stove, kettles. etc

How to Clean Waists.

Odd bodices of net and lace are so
much worn of late and are usually such
delicate and elaborate affairs that the
woman who intrusts them to cleaner
or maid is extravagant or reckless.
The simplest and safest way to have
them cleaned is to do it ones self,
a feat not at all difficult to accomplish
If one but knows the right way. A
woman who has done four net and lace
shirtwaists in this way declares that
they come out as fresh as ever: Pour
two quarts Of boiling water over a
muslin bag, which has been previously
filed with bran.
Let the water stand until warm, and
well squeeze the bag in it before TAX
ing it out. Now take half the bran
water and make lather together with
some soap jelly. Put your bodice into
it. Knead well, but do not rub. When
perfectly washed, put it in the clean
bran water and shake until all soap
Is removed. Fold in warm, dry cloth
and put through a wringer. Take
moderate iron and iron until dry. The
bran acts as starch. Before folding
to put away hang the garment on the
back of a chair, so that no trace Of
moisture should remain.

What Is Is Best.

I do not ask that life should be
A bed of ease;
l am not like the child, who wants
Each toy he sees.
And yet tits hard, l think, sometimes
To see and know,
When life seems full Of bitter things,
The way it's so.
TITS hard to watch the ones we love
Grow sick and die,
TO lay them in the grave and make
No moan or cry.
Vet those he loves God chasteneth,
So we are told;
And each in some way doth believe
The story old
That in this world what is is best;
Although we see
A thousand ways in which we think
'Twould better be
To have what we have longed for, but
IT'S all in vain;
Each one must learn through care an6
grief
Sorrow and pain,
That God some trials sends to each
That one and all
May come to Him for sympathy;
May heed his call,
'Come all We weary ones to me,
For here is rest"
And so we all would fain believe
What is is best.
Thus, though like others, | should like
At peace to be-
1 only ask that he, in time,
Will give to me
A faith so sure, love SO great,
So strong and true,

WILD FLOWERS.

Scarce known by name, they pie the ground
With motley coors, starry FORMS
In them the sunset skies found
That follow after storms;
And blurs of crimson, blue and gold
Their graceful chalices unfold
While mid the dead leaves pile and pent
Humbly they live and die content
Huge oaks above them lift their heads
And drop the acorn, shed the leaf
The harvest field far round them sheds
Plenty in many sheaf
And they, half fragrant, brighten earth,
Low In the shadows where there's dearth
OF pain or pleasure, love life,
Far from the worlds mad ceaseess strife
They speak message act part
They have works to show
Deep hidden here they touch heart
And do not ask to know;
Yet if one meet the eye Of man
It ell unfolds the Master plan
The Power that painted this fair bloom,
For man have futile doom.
