WiIlie's Dream of Papa.

One morning Willie said to his father
very seriously. Papa, had a strange
dream this morning"
Papa-Indeed. What was it?
Il dreamed, papa, that l died and
went to heaven, and when st. Peter
met me at the gate, instead of showing
me tls. way to the golden street, as
expected, he took me out into large
field, and in the middle of the field
there was ladder reaching away up
into the sky and out of sight. Then st.
Peter told me that heaven was at the
top and that in order to get there
must take the big piece of chalk he
gave me and slowly climb the ladder,
writing on each rung some sin | had
committed"
Papa got interested and, laying down
his newspaper, asked, And did you
finally reach heaven, my son.
mo, papa, for just as l was trying
to think of something to write on the
second rung | looked up and saw you
coming down"
And what was l coming down for?'
That's what l asked You, and you
told me you We're coming down for
more chalk"

Silver Locks.

Silver hair is always becoming and
enviablc possession. In old age it gives
an air of softness and sweetness to the
face, while in conjunction with Il young
skin and fresh complexion nothing can
be more charming. The silver tone OF
the hair throws up skin and eyes to
perfection, besides adding an air of dis
tinction to an otherwise everyday type
of face
Women who up to now have been
foolish enough to hide their beautiful
silver tresScs under unbecoming and
hard toned hair dyes are this season al
lowing it to be seen in all its natural
beauty, this state Of affairs being large
ly due to the fact that the tones Of null
berry, claret and purple now so modish
look their best when worn by woman
possessed of snowy hair.

surface water can run off Water must

some one of the many kinds of under

est and for that reason must prevail.
The idea prevails t. '. if the bitches
are deep and the road grade high, even
though the bitches are Chock full of
water, there is no water in the sub
grade, but any one who thinks for
a moment knows that by capillary at
traction the road is just as full of wa
ter as the ground Is capable of holding
if the water stands in the bitches, and,
being full of water, 1t is soft and the
wheels quickly rut the surface, and
then water begins to seep in from the
top, so it is absolutely necessary to
have the water ''away''-that is, out of
the bitches. If | could have but one
grade established, that of the road or
the ditch, | would by all means choose
that the bitches should have true
grade and that as often as possible out
let's should be made for carrying the
water entirely away from the road.

Sir Walter Scott's LAUGH.

Never perhaps did Il man - through
all the gradationS of laughter with
buch complete enjoyment and Il coun-
tenance SO radiant. The first dawn of
a humorous thought would show itself
sometimes, as he sat silent, by an in
voluntary lengthcning of the upper lip,
followed by Il shy, Sidclong glance at
his ncighborS, indeScrbably whimsical
and seeming to ask, from their looks,
whether the spark of droIcry should
be suppressed or allowed to blaze out.
In 'he full tide of mrth he did indeed
"laugh the hearts laugh" hut it was
not bOistcrOuS and ovcrpDWcring nor
did it check the course of his words.
He could go on. telling or dissenting,
while his lungs did "crow like chanti-
cleer, his syllahles in the struggles
growing more emphatic, his accent
more strongly Scotch and his voice
paintive with excessive merriment."

Seneca on Endurance.

There can be no easy proof of virtue.
Fortune lashcS and mangleS us. Well,
let us endure it. 1t is not cruelty. 1t is
a struggle. in which the Oftcncr we en-
gage the Drawer we shall become. The
strongest part of the body is that
which is exercised by the most FIRE
quent use. We must intrust ourselves
to fortune to be hardened by heI
against herself. BY degrees she will
make us a match for herself. Famil-
iarity with danger leads us to despiSr
it. Thus the bodies of sailors are hard
encd by endurance of the sea, and the
hands of farmers by work; the arms of
soldiers are powerful to hurl darts; the
legs of runners are active. That part
of each man which he exercises is the
strongest SO by endurance the mind
becomes able to deSpiSe the power Of
miSfortunes.

be off when the road IS sufficiently

should be so steep as to make it i'm
possible for the rider in carriage GO

road should have crown of about one
inch to the foot from the center to the

much, but each year the center lowers

best be accomplished by the frequent
use of the Grant rut-out
