Only think, II there was never any
thing anywhere to be seen but grown
up men and women. how we would
long for the sight of a little child!
Every infant comes into the world like
a delegated prophet, the harbinger and
herald of good things, whose Office is
TO turn the fathers hearts TO the chill
dren and to draw the disobedent to
the wisdom of the just. a child softens
and puriles the heart. warming 1t and
melting it by its gentle presence; it
enricheS thc soul by new feelings and
nwakens within it what is favorable
10 virtue; It is q beam of light
fountain Of love, Il teacher whose les
sons few can resist. Infantstrecall us
from much that enSenders and encour-
ages selfishness, that freezes the af-
fections. rouGhens the manners, indu-
rates the heart. They brighten the
home, deepen love, invigorate exertion,
infuse courage and vivify and sustain
the charities of life. 1t would be
terrible world, l do think, if it were
not embellished by little children

Length of Wall Paner Rolls.

"Most persons have an idea that all
pieces of wall paper are necessarily Of
one length" remarked a wall paper
man. Sometimes when I receive or
ders from n distance l wonder just
what the patron is figuring on. He
may get enough to paper two rooms,
and he may get only half enough. Some
figure overeconomically and some over
generously. Our domestic papers run
eight yards to the piece. Those from
France and Germany measure nine
yards, while the English make their
rolls so lengthy that they/contain quite
twelve yards. Then. of course. there's
the repeat. On some Of the new papers
with the smallest figures this is next
to nothing. and On some others, nota-

lett held an inquest upon the body OF
Ray Wilson, the 13-year-old farmer

The verdict was Of accidental shoot
ing with a shotgun in the hands of
Lloyd Sigler. Sigler is not quite 10.
He was terribly frightened Sunday
night and said Wilson had shot him
self.
His story Monday morning was even
less plausible, but after a severe cross
examination and some fatherly advice
from one OF the jurors, he told in
straightforward manner how Wilson
held the muzzle of the gun which they
both supposed to be empty, while Sig
Ter held the stock and tried to break
down the action.
The shell struck, Sigler's finger
slipped across the trigger and the gun

a Hair Cut That Made War.

The cropping of the flowing locks
and beard of Louis VII. of France
brought on three centuries of blood
shed. The archbishop OF Rome had
decreed that the French king, as pen
ance, SHOULD shave and have his hair
cut short. His appearance so star
tied and amused his spouse, Queen
Eleanor, that she laughed aloud and
began contemptuously to fiirt with the
Count of Anjou. afterward Henry H.
of England. The shorn king stood
the disgrace for a time, but at last
sent evidence of his grievance to the
pope and obtained n divorce. Eleanor
then married Henry. and as her dover
the rich provinces OF poitou and Gut
enne passed into his hands. Louis
made hot attacks on Normandy, and
devastating wars, which continued for
some 800 years, were the consequence
of this cropping of monarch's head.
