Muskets.

While the introduction of portable fire- fms into Europe js of comparatively re- ect date, their use was frequent among te Mohammedans of eastern Asia at a wry early period. La Brocquicre, who tade a journey to Jerusalem in the mid- de of the fifteenth century, on 1 who treyv- ted extensively in the east, n entions the fing of small arquebuses at the great fes- tals in Damaccus.

The first use of muskets in Europe was

‘sh soldiers. These arms were so extrewe- ly heavy that they could not be used with- $a rest. They were provided with matchlocks, and were effective at a consid- ible distance. While on the march the widiers themselves carried only the am- Dunition and the rests, and boys, bearing the muskets, followed after, like caddies % % golf course.

ing these cumbersome arms was A ow operation. They were clumsy and aviward to handle, the ball and powder Were carried separately, and the prepara- tion and adjustment of the mateh took a long time.

Betore long, however, improvements be- ~ to bemade. Ihe guns became lighter é construction, ant the soldiers carried a tmmunition in broad shoulder belts eee bandeliers, to which were suspended

Kind Words From a Famed Institution.

el

Happy Ladies Speak of Paine’s Celery Compound.

“We feel it a duty to add our testimony in favor of our ‘wonder working, Paine’s Celery Compound, Many Sisters suffering from debility, dyspepsia and indigestion, have been completely cured after taking it it, Weshall strongly recommend ita use in all our houses as the best medicine to restore health and give true vigor to the neryous system.”

This thankful Jetter comes from the Sisters of the Conyent of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, Montreal. No other médieine in the world has ever received such a high recommendation frem sn institution 80 conservative in character.

Debilitated, dyspeptic, broken down, and half dead people have a guarantee such as no other medicine can boast of, that Paine’s Celery Compound cures thoroughly and weil. One Pottle of the great medicine wil] suffice to convince any doubter that

, ite virtues are beyond praise.

<= POULTRY NOTES.

In mating the breeding fewls select the hardiest, most perfect specimens.

Generally on the farm medium sized breads will give the best returns.

The safest plan is to mark the ducks each year so as to know their ages.

Ciose quarters, cleanliness and fat form-

{ ing foods will fatten most rapidly.

Turkeys digest rapidly and for this

/ reason are apparently always hungry.

When eggs are to be kept, care should be taken to turn them half over every few days.

One of the secrets of egg producing in winter is warm, dry quarters for the lay- ing hens.

On wet, low lying lands ducks and geese are the only fowls that can be kept to advantage.

Growing a patch of rye convenient to the poultry quarters is one of the best ways of supplying green food in winter.

It is often the case that feeding broken oil cake to fowls twice a week will pro- mote laying when other foods will fail.

The Fig Brother.

Children early learn to adopt the man- nersand the speech of the ejdjer brother; the small boy is educat;d by the one who is at college or in business much more than by his governess or his tutor. Saida wise observer once: “If only you can get your eldest son well started, if he is man- ly, truthful and of high principles, the others in the fnmily follow right on in the same direction. ‘Che judicious father will take great pains with his oldest boy.”’

In a neighborhood or a school the large boys influence social opinion and set the fashion for the rest. Always there is some larger boy whom the little lad grest- ly admires, who is his model, whese smile or whose frown makes or unmakes his happiness. The big brother does not know it, but he isin this changeful world the one personage whose scepter never totters, whose popularity never wanes and who never goes out of fashion.

To his sisters he has the opportunity of showing chiyalry, kindness and the defer- ence of the stronger to the weaker, To the baby of the household he is little short of a king. The big brother, bless his heart, when he is a nice, obliging, affectionate and generous fellow, is as important a member of society as any one who can be mentioned.

If, as sometimes happens, he is either a bully or a coward, then he is more con- temptible than he would be if he had been born in a less fortunate order in the fam- ily, for he has, so to speak, broken faith with all that was expected of him.—Har- per’s Bazar.

Shot at Twe Stars,

Bob Cunningham and two compan- ions went coon hunting near Pulaski. Coons can be found only at night, and they are usually seon near a cornfield, The trio, with their dogs, had wander- ed about half the night, when Bob sud- denly pulled up with ‘*Hist! I see a big one.’’ He became afflicted with a touch of the buck fever and danced about in a strange and weird manner. ‘‘Do you see his eyes?’’ he asked. ‘'I’m going to shoot.’’

The gan went off and Bob said, with many an adjective, ‘‘I’ve missed him.”’ He loaded up again and blazed away, and still he declared he saw the eyes. None of the other parties could see the first symptom of eyes, neither could they hear Mr. Coon rustling among the trees. Bob declared that he could, and he shot once more, but the ‘‘eyes’’ were still there.

He is a pretty good shot, and firing three times at so large an animal as a coon made him think, so he walked over to the tree where he saw the coon and took a good look, and then discov- ered that he had been shooting at two stars that were peeping from between the limbs of the trea —New Castle Courant-Gui.:dian.

ONLY HIMSELF TO BLAME.

Chere Was No Need of His Plunging So Recklessly and Blindly.

Miss Pinkerly—Are you interested in charity, Mr. Tutter?

Tutter (who knows that she is and suspects a possible donation) — Well, Miss Clara, that depends. Some forms of charity are excellent. Others are mis- directed.

Miss Pinkerly—Yes, I suppose that’s so. You know we are going to give a fttle entertainment at the church.

Tutter—Oh, yes. Something fcr ths heathen, I suppose. Do you know, Miss Clara, I haven’t much faith in that sort of thing. Now, if it were nearer home.

Miss Pinkerly—But it is nearer home. \t’s just for the poor children of the peighborhood.

Tutter (seeing no escape) — Well, that’s better. I approve of that. Of course I’]] take a ticket. Awfully glad.

Miss Pinkerly—Oh, that is so kind of you.

Tutter—Not at all. Tell me, what sort of an entertainment is it going to be?

Miss Pinkerly—Oh, just a simple lit- tle affair. We thought it best, you know, to have everything as simple as possible. There will be refreshments, of course, but they will all be donated, and then we propose to have some sort of amateur play—poasibly a charade.

Tutter—Oh, I see. Well, it’sa worthy object. I believe in that sort of thing. Have you sold many tickets?

Miss Pinkerly—Not so many as I hoped to. Still there is some time yet.

Tutter—Put me down for two tickets.

Miss Pinkerly—Now, Mr. Tutter, you are really too generous. You must consider your own pocketbook a little.

Tutter—Don’t say a word. A simple, inexpensive little entertainment like this, with such a worthy object in view, ought to be encouraged. By Jove, the more I think of it the better [ like the idea. Charity begins at home. It’s a good thing, Miss Clara. I’m not satis- fied. Let me have four tickets. No, make it a half dozen.

Miss Pinkerly—Now, Mr. Tupper, really—

Tutter—Don’t say another word I insist upon it. Where are the tickets? Have you got them here? I'll take them at once.

Miss Pinkerly—Oh, yes! Hero they are.

Tutter—Good! Now, how much did you say they were apiece?

Miss Pinkerly—Only $5, Mr. Tutter! —Harper’s Bazar.

Evolution of the Edueational Ideal.

Let us place ourselves apart from the tumult which rages on beth sides, and, closing our ears, question ourselves whether a new educational ideal may be evolved from this strife of contending factions and what the general chiarac- ter of this ideal would be. If we assume that the three features which I have mentioned may be combined, we should havea popular, realistic, individualistic ideal of education—popular, not exclu- sive or aristocratic in the narrower sense of the word; national, not foreign or international, but rather the result of an evolution from the national life itself; realistic, characterized by strength and action ani not by mere thought and westhetic sentiment; indi- vidualistic—i. ¢, aiming at the <evel- opment of the individual and not at the establishment of dull uniformity; not democratic, therefore, if this word im- ply a general reduction to a dead level, but rather aristocratic, in the sense of an individual, not a class, aristocracy.

lt would be presumptuous at the pres- ent day to state what the concrete form of such an edwoational ideal would be. I wish to say, however, that the soci- ety corresponding to the above ideal would be that of an aristocracy of mind. Is this the type teward which we are tending? Is the aristocracy of birth and wealth te be supplanted by the aristocracy of personal worth and merit? This has beer the philosopher's dream from the day of Plato’s ‘‘Repub- lic’’ to the present hour. It is the tend- ency of nature. It would be the aristoc- racy of nature to have every individual stand independently upon his own per- sonal merit and not upon the achieve- ments of his father.—Professor Paulsen in Forum.
