The Boy on the Farm.

The boy on the farm should receive
announcement. His is hard job.
There is nothing under the sun, moon
or stars that he is not expected to do
from currying the horses before sunup
to milking the cows after sundown. IL
he is of school age he escapes some Of
the jar of farm work, but generally
finds a pretty good allowance await
ing him when he comes home. In this
day OF scarce farm help it is blessing
to a farmer to have boy, or several
boys, for that matter, who can help.
1t is still more of a blessing to have a
boy who does his tasks cheerfully and
we'll There is not much in this long
houred apprenticeship except board
and clothes, and so every father should
give his son encouragement. Give him
some of the farm animals which he
can call his own. Let him raise some
stock and feed them on his own ac-
count. He will consider he is amply
repaid then for all the work he does.
II this plan were followed there would
be fewer boys wanting to come to
town.-Pittsburg Press.

The NIistletOe.

Many conflicting tales have been
told about the mistletoe-how it came
to be one Of Cupid's strongest cards.
In the old Morse mythology curses
were heaped upon the unlucky plant
because it had been the innocent in
strument Of the death Of Baldur the
Beautiful, who was beloved by all the
gods except Loki, the mischief maker,
who naturally was envious enough to
connive at ways to put Baldur out OF
the way.
But while the sorrowing gods were
heaping curses upon the plant the god
dess Of love stopped them and, catch
ing up the very plant which had slain
Baldur, exhorted them all in memory
Of the bright, beautiful, gentle god to
greet each other whenever they saw il
with kiss.
"Baldur is dead, indeed" she said,
"but Baldur's spirit lives, and that
spirit is love. Let us use the very
thing that killed him as a symbol OF
love-"
She hung the branch up, and one by
one the angry gods passed out, hushins
their sorrow at his death.
