Birds as HELPERS.

+ German farmers are trying to induce
the smaller. birds to return to their old
hannts about the fields, and for this
purpose are setting out boxes and other
artificial devices to serve the birds for
homes. Tie farmers need the. birds; ia
destroy the insects, but the birds are
not only because Of their
direct. slaughter, but also because. old
trees in the decayeu hollows ofs@iwyhicli
they built their nests, the old copses
which they haunted, and both of which
were. prolific in insects, together with
the :stagnant pools which yielded them
food In abundance, are all disapp eariAg
before the. closer cultivation Of the
present time American farmers 1 CAR
well follow suit, fot there. are no better
aids.to agriculture than our /. native
birds It certainly pays to be on good

are especially intended for summer use

like any other kind of rug. and. unlike

thicker than mating. and thinner than
the ordinary Smyrna, and present
cool appearance which is inviting.

Comic Horror.

The two intinities Of Kant did not
chill or hurt him. but his fearlessnes:,
is shared by few. Only for a shor1
instant, at best, will most persons con!
sent to look open-eyed at any clean
image Of fate or of intnity. Scarcely
a friend of mine will look steadily al
the clear midnight sky for a minute
in silence. The freezing of the. heart
follows; the appalling shudder at the
dread contemplation Of infinity, which
may be called cosmic horror, is moro
than can be endured. If those start
are: absolutely and positively infinite
then there is no up or down, and they
knew If beginning, will have no end,

fatalism the surcharged attention is
shaken, and the chemistry of co:~mon

A KEROSENE DECALOGUE..

=
It would be an excellent thing il
there were some: simple and perfectly:
safe way in which:a a housekeeper could
determine for herself the hash-point
of the kerosene she buys. sUnfortu
nately, the handling Of kerosene which
is hot enough to fash is highly dan
gerous thing for one who is not in
structeds in the matter. There are
some things, however, which a house
keeper may do: +,
/ Kerosene should always be han
died by daylight, and away from all
flames and fires. Under no circum.
stances whatever should a lamp be
filed while its wick is lighted.
2 After filing a lamp, both the burn
er and the, reservoir should always be
carefully wiped free from oil films. ~
3 When lamp is not burning, it is
well to keep the wick a little below
the top of the tube. This, helps to
prevent oil from working over upon
the burner and reservoir.
Fill your lamps as often as they
are used. Especially do not light a
lamp when the oil is low in the reser

Remembering that even explosive
vapor cannot do harm unless in some
way it actually comes in contact with
fame, never useR burner which
fits loosely upon the trest Ct the lamp.

self. II. you must blow it out, blow
upward through the burner, or across
the top of the chimney. Both of these
methods produce an upward draft.
8 Always keep the kerosene can and
filler in a clean, well ventilated place,
where no lights ever come. -. :'>
9 II you must continue the repre-.
hensible practice OF using kerosene to

from the can. Pour the oil you are to

something to the next in line, who
also nodded his head and spoke to
his neighbor. In this manner, the
words which the first had uttered
we're passed down the line. Mean
while, Willie and the stranger had
resumed their conversation,
which kept up until they entered
the cemetery.
"Now, Willie" said the stran-
ger, ''you walk in front and lead
the way to your fathers grave"
Willie wonderingly obeyed. He
had vague idea that many eyes
we're gazing curiously at him as
he slowly made his way to where
his father lay. Finally, he reached
the place, and unmindful of any
ones presence; knelt down and
tenderly laid his single carnation
on the mound Suddenly, some
thing dropped in front of him; it
was a flower; then another and
another and another. Willie

watched them. He did not know
but what it was part of theday's
programme, and he felt too happy
to care much. What he knew was
that his desire was accomplished,
even beyond his widest dreams,
as he busily: arranged the beauti-
full plethora of fragrant lilacs,
fresh wild honeysuckles, Guelder
roses, timid violets and sugges-
tive bleeding hearts.

a long pole, ready to hook into our
chains. The Oneco, being built for the
China trade, was armed. We carried
four guns in each broadside aud two
swivels on the taffrail, with an ample
supply Of boarding pixies, muskets, pis-
tolls and cutlasses. If the pirate sue
ceeded in boarding US it would mean
hand to hand fight, and what with
making sail and getting ready for bat
