Oe es ee Oe el THE SMILE Or A CHILD,

The smile of a child te a weary heart, Like dew on the thirsty earth,

Is a svringing well whence teardrops start In flow of joy from living worth.

Tho smile of a child is a gift from heaven,

Brightening the way of toil; Like golden clonds floating at even, Bathing with beauty God's flower gew-

med soil;

Like incense as its fragrance waves And floats on the air the while

"Neath ric! ired architraves Or thickly peopied & sle.

Give me knowledge, give me health, Rut in grief and sorrow wild

Give me the wealthiest known of wealth— The artiess sme of a child.

BLOWN OUT TO SEA.

Helpless Birds That Are Driven to Death by Fierce Gales.

Birds driven before the wind are toss- ed sbout relentlessly, and they rarely recover their balance after once being caught by the gale. Shore birds are either dashed upon the waves and made to swim for their lives or they are hurl- ed violently against trees or other ob- jects and killed. Shore birds, when fac- ing a gale, will take every advantage of trees, houses and hills as defenses against the wind. They will close their wings and sink so close tothe ground as to get the protecting shelter of a hedge fence, and then swoop up again with renewed headway. They frequent- ly advance before the gale by a series of side evolutions, flying at right angles to the wind until they have attained oun- siderable velocity, and then wheeling about straight against the wind and

}

making some headway before it over- |

comes them. This operation is repeated continually until the desired place is reached.

During our fall and early winter gales partridges aud quail are quite fre- quently blown out to sea by a strong hurricane, where some of them have been picked up by fishermen. In nearly all such instances they are caught by the gale when hizh in the air, and be- fore they can recover themselves they are hurried out beyond the shore and dropped into the water. With their plumage soaked with the spray they in- stantly become helpless and cannot reach the shore in the face of the wind.

On our inland lakes and rivers this isa |

more common sight than along the ocean shore.

When once blown out to sea, the shore birds have little chance of escape. Unable to battle against tae heavy wind, they yield themselves to their fate and drift about until the storm subsides. By that time they are likely to be so far from shore that they cannot reach it again, aud they either fly or swim until they starve to death or die of exhaustion. Their dead bodies, along with those of the hapless gulls, terns and herons, are finally drifted upon some shore, where the waves leave them high did dry. After every heavy storm hundred, of such luckless victims can be found of, the beaches of our Atlantio cvast.—Our Animal! Friends.

Machinery and Modern Farming.

The smallest implement upon a big wheat farm isa plow. And from the plow to the elevator—from the first operation in wheat farming to the last —one is forced to realize how the spirit of tre age has made itself felt here and has reduced the amount of lioman labor to the minimum. The man who plows uses his muscle only incidentally in guiding the machine. The man who operates the harrow has balf a dozen levers to lighten his labor. The ‘‘sower who goeth forth to sow,’’ walks leisure- ly behind a drill and works brakes. The reaper needs a quick brain anda quick hand, but not necessarily a strang arm nor a powerful back. He works sitting down.

The thrashers are merely assistants to a machine, and the men who heave the wheat into the bins only preés but- tons. The most desirable farmhand is not the fellow who can pound ‘‘mauling machine’’ most lustily at the county fair. He is the man with the cunning brain who can get the most work out of a machine without break- ing it. The farm laborer in the west to- day, where machinery is employed, finds himself advanced to the ranks of skilled labor and enjoys a position not widely different from that of the mill- hand in the east. Each is a tender ofa machine.—William Allen White is Scribuer’s.

Smoking Statistica.

Holland holds the first place in the world asa nation of smokers. [very Dutchman consumes on an average 100 ounces a year. The Belgian comes a

good second with an annual consu™p- |

tion of 80 ounces, followed closely by Turkey with 70 ounces and the United States with 60 ounces. Germany, France, Spain and Italy tread closely on their heels, while the United Kingdom comes comparatively low on the list with 23 ounces.—London Tit-Bits.

How to Toughen Paper.

A plan fer rendering paper as tough 43 wood or leather, it is said, has been recently introduced on the continent. It consists in mixing chloride of zine with the pulp in the course of manufactare. It has been found that the greater the degree of concentration of the zine solu- tion the greater will be the toughness of the paper.

RULES FOR CANDY MAKING.

Mrs. Rorer Telle How Confections May Be Made at Home.

Mrs. S. T. Rorer tells how to make Sandies at home in The Ladies’ Home Journal and gives the following rules, which insure the success of the work: ‘“‘Never stir the sugar and water after the sugar has dissolved. Wipe dows constantly the granules forming on the side of the saucepan. Io not shake or move the saucepan while the sirup is boiling. As soon as the sugar begins to boil watch it carefally, having in yout hand a bowl of ice water, so that you may try the sirup almost constantly. Have everything in readiness before be- ginning. If the sugar grains, use it for old fashioned cream candy or sugar taffy. It cannot be used for fondant. Use only the best granulated sugar for boiling and confectioners’ XXX for

kneading. If your fondant grains with- | out apparent cause, you may have boil- | ed it a little too long. A few drops of |

lemon juice ora little cream of tartar will prevent this. Fondant is the soft mixture which forms both the inside of the French candies and the material in which they are dipped, and it is to ob- tain this that the sugar is boiled. ‘‘After the sugar has reached the

‘soft ball,’ a semihard condition, it |

must be poured carefully into a large meat plate or on a marble slab. Do not scrape the saucepan or you will granu- late the sirup. Make your fondant one

day and make it up into candy the next. |

Never melt fondant by placing the saucepan immediately on the stove. Prevent the danger of scorching by standirg the pan containing it in a ba- sin of water. If the melted fondant is tvo thick, add water most cautiously, a

drop atatime. A half teaspoonful more | than is necessary will ruin the whole. |

To cool candy place itin a cool, dry place. To keep candy put it between layers of waxcd paper in tin boxes. If the day is bright and clear, the sugar loses its stickiness quickly; therefore select a fine day for your candy mak- ing.’’

NAMES WE MISSED.

of the Titles Intended For

Geographical Divisions.

It was intended that Maryland should be called Crescentia, but Charles I changed it to Terra Marizw, in honor of his wife, and we made it Mary’s Land; hence Maryland (home pronunciation, Merrylon). William Penn wanted tc call his state New Wales, but afterward decided upon Sylvania, to which the king prefixed the word Perm. In 1784 an ordinance was drawn up as follows: ‘*The territory northward of the forty- fifth degree—that is to say, of the com- pletion of the forty-fifth degree from the equator and extending to the Lake of the Woods—shall be called Syl- vania.’’ See what we missed! The ter- ritory under the forty-fifth and forty- fourth degrees which lies westward of Lake Michigan was to be called Michi- ganuia, while that to the eastward, with- in the peninsula formed by the lakes and waters of Michigan, Huron, St. Clair and Erie, was to be called Chersonesus. Heaven forbade. ;

Of the territory lying under the forty- third and forty-second degrees, that to the westward, called Assenisipia; that to the eastward, in which are the sources of the Muskingum, the two Miamis of the Ohio, the Wabash, the Illinois, the Miamis of the lake, and the Sandusky rivers, was to be called Metropotamia. The country through which the Illinois river runs was to be called Illinoia; the next joining to the eastward, Saratoga, and that between the last and Pennsyl- vania, extending from the Ohio to Lake Erie, Washington. AJl that region ad- jacent to which are the confluences of the Wabash, Shawnee, Tanisee, Ohio, Illinois, Mississippi and Missouri rivers, was to be called Pclytamia, and that farther up the Obio, Pelisipia. Verily, a watchful Providence seems to have guarded us from these afflictions. —New York Press.

Some Our

He Knew.

‘*Before permitting you to pass to the front,’’ said the officer in charge of the telegraphy to the war correspondent, ‘‘I desire to know whether you are qual- ified to report our actions in the field.’’ The war correspondent bowed and awaited the pleasure of the great man. ‘*In the first place,’’ continued the sol- dier, ‘‘I should like # definition of the phrase, ‘fiendish atrocity.’ ’’

ne correspondent smiled as if he considered the question altogether too easy.

‘*Fiendish atrocities,’’ he said, ‘‘are murders committed by the other side.”’

**Correct,’’ returned the officer. ‘*Now, what is ‘just vengeance?’ ’’

**Just vengeance,’’ answered the cor- respondent, ‘‘is the term used to desig- nate murders committed by our side.’’

**Correct again, ’’ returned the officer. **I will give you an order that will take you through all the lixes.’’-—Strand Magazine.

Animal Worship.

Swine were adored in Crete, weasels at Thebes rats and mice in Troas, por- cupines in Persia, the lapwing in New Mexico, bulls in Benares, serpents in Greece and many of the African coun- tries. The Hindoos never molest snakes. They call them fathers, brothers, friends and other endearing names. On the coast of Guinea a hog happening to kill a snake, the king gave orders that all the swine should be destroyed.

An Easy Test.

Timmins—I have never been able to make up my mind whether 1 am a genius or not.

Simmons—lIt is easily tested. Just act like a hog when you are in society, and | if you are a genius people will admire you for it.—Indianapolis Journal.

Most of the men in the islands of southwest Japan lead lives of idleness and are cheerfully supported by the wo- men. The males are fond of music, some of ther: being excellent musicians on Various instruments, but it ir considered disgraceful for a woman to play.

—How some of those Liberals love one another is set forth bv the Montreal cor- respondent of the Mail and Empire, who Saye :

** Mesars. Beausoleil and Prefontaine, two old members of the commons, promi- rentas Liberal leaders, sre candidates once more for aldermanic honors. Thev are striving to secure the removal of the names of Mr. Tarte’s sons from the muvicipa! votere’ liste on the ground that these favored gentlemen bave not paid their taxes. One would thivk that the complaint against the young men cannot bold good, uoless, ind-ed, Mr. Green- shields is losing interest in the welfare of the Tarte family. But, be this as it mey, the war isabotene. The cold Liberale are eontending violently against the ‘master’ and the ‘mavter’ himself having beaten them in the federal field, is en-~ deavoring to drive them out of municipal lite also, and to replace them with his own pominees.”

A Great Smoke.

A gentleman well known in turf ciecles made a curious wager in the year 1860, in which he backed himself to smoke one pound weight of strong foreign regalias within 12 hours. The conditions were that the cigars should be smoked one at a time to within an inch of the end, the backer of time, as in the case of some pi- geon matches, finding the weeds.

The match was decided on a Thames steamer plying between London and Chel- sea, the smoker taking up a position well forward in the bows, where he caught the oy of all the breeze that was blowing. TLe cigars ran 100 to the pound, so that about eight an hour had to be consumed to win the wager. A start was made at 1@ o’clock in the morning, and the affair was finished shortly after 7 in the evening.

In the course of 9 hours and 20 minutes 86 cigars were fairly smoked, the greatest number consumed being in the second hour, When the smoker disposed of no few- er than 16. At the eighty-sixth cigar, when 14 only remained to be smoked, the backer of time gave in, finding that the smoker was certain to win, and the latter puffed the remainder away at his leisure in the course of the same evening. —Strand Magazine.

One Honest Husband,

A society man, middle aged and hand- some, who was married not so long ago, was asked by his wife why he had allowed himself to become 88 years old before he centered his affections upon any woman long enough to marry her.

‘*Well,”’ he answered reluctantly, ‘‘it was this way: No man was ever 80 suscep- tibleasIam. My whole family was kept on the alert to prevent my marriage before I was 18. I simply fell heels over head in love with every girl I met.

‘*My father grew tired of circumventing my matrimonial tendencies and put me out on the road. My territory covered the whole western continent. Two consecu- tive days were never permitted to pass without my receiving a telegram to move on

‘I never suspected but that I was doing an enormous business, and insisted at in- tervals on having my salary raised. I would no sooner get on friendly terms with a lady than along would come that notice to keep going. At last i tired of the end- less chase, insisted on becoming stationary for a time and came here to run a branch establishment. You know, dear, that we were engaged in two weeks.”’

‘“‘And was it more than a dozen girls that you were in love with before you met me?’’

‘*Hundreds of them.”’

“What a good thing I didn’t kdow!”— St. Louis Republic.

Echoes of “After the Bali.”

There is one ma in the United States who has a device stamped on his letter pa per for which heis not beholden to any musty ancestor, a device which will doubt- less be emblazoned on his coat of arms if we ever set up a college of heraldry. His name is Harris and he lives in Milwaukee, You will know what Harris I mean when I say that he has stamped on the left hand corner of his letter paper a ball, in bright red, with a frantic little goblin, also red,

| running after it as hard as hecan. ** After

the Ball” is the motto, and the man wha writes on the paper is the Charles Harris who wrote the song of that name, a song which has made him such a fortune that nowadays he doesn’t sell his songs to pub- lishers, but has a music publishing house all his own, from which he issues only his own compositions. The device is decidedly decorative and will lock well on a coat of arms.—Washington Post.

a oe ik Death’s Saddle-Horse.

When a man has over- worked himself, and neglected his health, until he finally realizes that he is a sick man, he too frequently goes fo some obscure physician who has had very little experience or practice; the result is « wrong diagnosis and the wrong treatment. A man in this condition, if he continues to work and takes the wrong medicine, is really making himself a saddle-horse for death.

Under these conditions, what a man really needs is the advice and treatment of a phy- sician of wide experience and practice, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consult- ing physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo. N. Y., makes so charge for answering a letter from a man or woman inthis condition. The Institution of which he is the head is one of the great- est in the world. He has practiced in one spot right in Buffalo for thirty years, and his neighbors honored him by making him their representative in Congress. Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery cures indigestion, biliousness, impure blood, ma- laraia, and wasting diseases. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption, Honest druggists supply it when called for and don’t advise a substitute.

‘“Some time ago I wrote you and described my case,"’ writes Mr. James Considine, of Patsy, Crawford Co., Mo. ‘You advised me to take your ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ and ‘ Pellets.’ I followed your advice, and by the time I had taken three bottles of the * Discovery’ and one bottle of the ‘ Pellets’ I was greatly benefited. I became regular in my bowels, and the pain in my back left, and I have not had a chill since I got through taking the first bottle. I cannot fecommend it too highly.”

It used to cost $1.50, now it is free. Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser. too8 pages. Over 300 illustrations.
