You see I found the little house easily enough, and knocked on the outer door, which stood ajar, but nobody heard me; so I stepped into the little hall, and saw through the crack of the

door a cozy sitting room, and there on the bed. with her silver head high on the pillows, was an oid lady who

looked for all the world just like my mother did the last time I saw her on earth. Well, I was on the point of knocking again, when she said: ‘Come, father, now begin, | am all ready.’

Down on his knees by her side went the old white-haired man, still older than his wife, I should judge; andl

couldn’t have knocked then for the life of me. Well, he began. First he re- minded God that they were still His submissive children, mother and he, and no matter what He saw fit to bring upon them they should not rebel against His will. Of course it was going to be hard for them to go out homeless in their old with poor mother so sick and helpless; and oh, how different it might have all been if oaly one of the boys had been spared! Then his voice kind of broke, anda thin, white hand stole out from under the coverlid, and moved softly over his snowy hair. 'Then he went on to repeat that nothing could ever be so sharp again as the parting with those three sons—unless mother and he should be separated! But at last he fell tocomforting himself with the fact that the through mother

And He Stayed Put. A weak-looking, over-dressed womau sat in a Detroit street car the other day and with her a badly over-dressed and badly-spoiled boy of about t vears, whe seemed inclined to nothing but squirm and wriggle and todo every- thing his weak-willed mother told hinn not todo. It was muddy and the beoy’s feet were covered with slime aud mud from the street. “You must sit down, Reginald,” said his mother; you'll get mud on the dress of the lady next to you.” But Reginald declined to sit still, and his mother said:

‘Reginald do you hear me?” ‘Course I do.”

“Then why don’t you mind?” “Don’t want to.”

Then he began to squirm more vigor- ously than before.

“Reginald, why don’t you mind mam- ma?”

‘“*Cause I don’t want to,

“Is that the way to talk tomamma?”

“Tt’s the way I talk.”

**Mamma is ashamed of you. Don’t you see that you are getting mud all over that lady’s dress?”

“Don’t care if lam.”

“You naughty, naughty boy. sit down and behave yourself.”

“Won't.”

“Won't, eh?”

The speaker was the lady into whose lap Reginald had deliberately and de- fiantly planted one of his muddy feet. She was a vigorous, spirited looking woman about 40 years of age.

“Won't, hey?” she said again, as she grabbed the dazed Reginald by his velvet collar and laid him across her lap.

**Won’t, hey?” she asked for the th’rd time, as she brought her good right hand down again and again with telling force on the awe-stricken young- ster.

“1’ll let you know what you will an’ what you won't do!” she said jerk- ing Master Keginald to a sitting position and plumping him down ou the car seat.

“Now you set there budge! You hear me! make you mind I kin. right where you're put!”

And he did, both he and his mother seeming to be too badly dazed to make any objection to a proceeding that delighted the hearts of all ef the other occupants of the car.

Growing the Bermuda Lily. “The Bermuda Lily should be plant-

ted in deep pots,” writes Eben E Rexford in Ladies Home Journal. **Put in ashallow layer of soil over the

drainage material when you pot the bulbs of this plant, and on this place the bulb, which should be covered lightly. Leave this until a stalk starts. Then fillin, as this stalk reaches up, until the pot is full of compost. 1 would not advise the use of any fertili- zer after bringing a plant to the light if the compost in which it was planted contained an ordinary amount olf nutriment. Development is quite likely to be sufficiently rapid in ordinarily rich soil, and the application of a stimulant will so hasten it that the plant will be forced beyond healthy limits. Watch the plants when in the cellar, and give them a little water now and then if needed. Aim to keep the soil moist—never wet. When you bring them updo not place them at once ina very warm room. A room adjoining one in which there is a fire is better for them, if it is frost-proof, than one in which the heat is likely to run uptoahigh figure. When they come into bloom be sure to keep them as cool as possible if you want the tlowers to last.”

The bubonic plague that has fallen upon the people of India has some features in common with the great plague tbat de vartaied Europe at various times in the Middle Ages, and that in the seventeenth century cau:ed sach havoc in London. It is also causing panics like to those which the ancient chroniclers tell about, and people are reported to be fleeing from Calcutta by thousands. It is unlikely, however, that any such disaster will now fall upon India as history tells of. Medical science and
