THE ORIGIN OF KNITTING

Knitting has been known for cen
turtles, and as early as the fifteenth
ctntury, good examples of knitted
work were to be found, especially in
Italy, Spain and Germany. Among
the first knitted stockings were those
made of silk worn by Henry II. of
France on the day of his sisters we'd
ding to the Duke of Savoy in 1859.
Since then, silk has been more and
more worn for stockings. The stock
ing itself has been improved also in
many ways and now the latest devel-
opment is the double tipped stocking
made with the REINFORCED so-called
garter top that will not wear ont
where the hose supporter clasp bites
the fabric.

that is near your heart? Or would
you, as a critic, discourse of ancient
art? A voice will interrupt you, and

Another Song

There's a language that's mute.
there's a silence that speaks,
4 There's a something that cannot
be told;
There are words that can only be
read on the cheek,
And thoughts but the eyes can I'M
fold,
So conscious. so quick to I'M
part;
Though dumb, in an instant it speaks
out the mind,
And strikes in an instant the
heart.
This eloquent silence, this converse
Of soul,
In vain We attempt to suppress;
More prompt it appears from the wish
of control,
More apt the fond truth to express.
And oh! the delight on the features
that shine,
The raptures the bosom that melt:
When blest with each other this con-
verse divine,
Is mutually spoken and felt.

Through the tears I still must shed,
Through the evil yet TO be,

That my soul may sleep tonight

THE USEFUL BOY COUNTS.

''The useful boy" says the Chica-
go Tribune, is making himself strong
ly felt in the world to-day. The USE
full boy has never been without job
that we know of, but in this age of
-iasrd and rapid work he appears 60
count for more than he did IN the past.
"This useful boy is getting into the
foundations Of our big stores and
showing that he can do the small and
petty work just as well as older peo-
pie than he do the great work at the
top. After time, when the top peo-
pie get tired, he will be called out of
his obscurity aud raised to their posi-
tion.
"The useful boy is very conspicu-
Gus in our public schools, where he is
studying the things that will make
his hands and head helpful when he
gets into the world of labor. He is
not wasting his time in idle dreams,
but striving to do just what Is at his
hand to do. He above all things
wants to do his work we'll. He likes
praise, but he does not care for it as
much as he does for the satisfaction in
his own mind of having done his work
right.
"The same boy is transforming the
world. He is making it a great place
of fpractical work. He sees the church
in new light, and he takes his reli-
gion right into his daily work in a
manly way. He is not ashamed of
his God, his church, his Sunday
school or his parents.
(Which leads us to observe that
he shines with particular brilliancy in
his home. He is an all-round useful
boy there. He takes time to think
of the needs of his mother, and he is
considerate of his brothers and sisters.
He realizes the servants are as much
human beings as he and have natural
rights which he is bound to respect.
He doesn't think that he knows more
than his father, and he is ready to
learn something from him every day.
When company is in the house, be
does not regard himself as the sole en-
tertainer. Instead he tries to be the
chief helper for the people behind the
scenes.
"The useful boy is not as large in
numbers as we would have him, but
he is growing. May he become still
more numerous
