How dear to the heart ; are the hundred photogranhs collected | abroad! What more calculated to give constant joy than these ‘‘allin a row’’ around the library or over a bookshelf in } one’s own den?: These may .be slipped behind the glass, as the molding is easi- ly removed, and thus a dado is alltoadmire. If a separation is desired a& narrow molding to match is easily ob- } tainable. A firm hand with a penknife and a few tacks only are needed, and a room is transformed. Another way is one molding placed half way between floor and ceiling, with the photographs set upon it, and a long ribbon in the tene of the room is stretch- ed adove and holds them in place. A charming effect is obtained in form ing a background of velvet, its own width, and fastening pictures, simply framed in passepartout, weon it, with large headed brass tacks. In a young girl’s room, recently ‘‘done’’ by a well known decorator, the only color was yellow. A few fine engravings were framed in white and gold, but the wires by which they were suspended were cover- ed with yellow ribbons and the hooks were hidden by a huge rosette. HE LOVED HIS HORSE. A Striking Tribute of Loyalty on the Part ae ofa Stable Boy. “You wouldn't belicve,’’ said a horse owner the other night at Ingleside, ‘‘how attached a stable boy usually becomes to a horse which is his own particular charge. I've got a fairly govl colt in my string, and the lad who rubs him thinks more of that colt than of anything on the face of the earth. There’s never a hair in his mane or tail in the wrong p'ace, and the colt has better attention than nine out of ten children. The boy thinks it impossible for other horses to beat the colt, and when he ran second once he swore the jockey pulled him. He actually believes that if Salvator were running now my colt would make him look like a selling plater. ‘‘A short time ago the lad had a couple of weeks’ wages paid over to him, and as soon as he got the money he asked per- mission to go down to the city. When he camo back he brought with him a brand- new linsey for the colt. It had cost him most of his two weeks’ wages, but he said the old one was getting a little bit rusty, and he wanted to have the colt fitted out right.’’ Which Kind of a Husband Are You? There is scarcely a husband who, dur- ing the past four months, has not urged his wife to learn to ride «a wheel. There is scarcely a husband of the lot who does not now regret that he so urged her. He has found that is has added to his nervous impairment in the ratio of about fifty per cent, and in addition thereto he has caught the ‘‘husband_ neck.’’ This strange malady is caused by the constant eraning of the neck, generally to the left to see if the wife of one’s bosom is safe. Even after the husband has found that his wife has really become a skilled rider the habit remains. He can no more help turning his head at short intervals than he can held imagining that all sorts of dire disasters are befalling her. And there seems to be no cure forthis. The natural one to suggest would be that a man’s wife should ride ahead of him, But no man, as yet, could possibly con- sent to this, both because it is his nature to lead, and also because he would thus expose his wife to the dangers of the road and side path, which he might avert by being in the lead. As yet the disease has only attacked those who are really fond of their wives. To what extent it will spread is, of coumse, dependent upon the num ber of such husbands. -- Brooklyn Life. Looking for Comets, The appearance of a new comet in the skies last month attracted a good deal of attention from astronomers. ‘The fact is that just at present we are very badly in want of a great comet. Since the magnifi- cent apparition which bears the name of Donati in 1858, astronomers have reyo- lutionized the practical methods of their science. Photographic processes then undreamt of are now the familiar auxili- aries to the observatory. The develop ment of the spectruscope also, in its ap- plication to the disvovery of the materia! constituents of the heavenly bodies is of a growth subsequent to the autumn of 1858, There can be no doubt that the next great comet which does vouchsafe its presence in our skies will be received with a welcome which has never before been accorded to any celestial object what- ever.—Sir Robert S. Ball, in London Graphic. More is Necessary. It has been said that men have got to be loved into the kingdom, not thought into it; but this does not state the whole truth. They must be both ‘‘loved’’ and ‘*thought into it’’; yea, more, must be brought into it. Andrew was hot con- tent with either loving or thinking about his brother, but conducted Peter to Jesus. The apostles had love and thought for sinners, but rested not until they had done their utmost to bring them into saving connection with Him who alone can save. Mind, heart and effort must be unitedly enlisted in hu- man redemption, The Spider Tree. Dr. Welwitsch, who has recently explor- ed the country about Cape Negro, in Africa, tells of a curious plant called the spider tree. It grows on windy plains, its stem attaining a diameter of four feet, although it does not exceed one foot in height. It puts out two leaves, each six ur eight feet in length, and these are split by the whiffing of the wind into a num- ber of stiff, narrow ribbons, bearing no little resemblance to the legs of a gigantic spider. This resemblance becomes start- ling when a strong breeze puts the leg- like leaves into rapid motion, and the negroes shiveringly exclaim that the great spider is struggling to get loose.

Doubtless a great many of the prayers which one sees in the papers fathered upon the clergy of the Land of Cakes are apocryphal], but those quoted in this ar- ticle are undeniably authentic. ** Preacher Geordie,’'an eccentric itiner- ant minister, who was famous | Seotland at the boginning of the present | Was also noted for his original prayers. } On one ecccasion he ostentatiously as- cended the pulpit of a country church ; with his fiddle—his inseparable com- | panion—under hisarm. He then very devoutly set about aiding the precentor by means of the instrument in raising the tune among the congregation—for the vigil- ance of his suspicion was extreme—he took oce1sion in his prayer, where, as he often said, he found himself least straitened, to express himself in these or like terms: ‘‘Good Lord, Thy people —Thine own peculiar, chosen people of old—were wont to praise Thee with tab- or and with harp, with sackbut and psal- tery; and Thy douce and loyal servants were seen dancing and skipping and snapping their fingers to Thy praise, and weel they were rewarded for it. But now- adays nothing will serve us but sighing and groaning, and squealing and howl- ing out dismal psalm tunes, wi’ feet nailed to the yird, and faces an ell lang, and muckls disloyalty in our hearts aftera’! Gif Thy blessing reach us, it maun surely be mair by Thy favor than ourain guid guiding, I trow!’’ Geordie’s prayer for the magistracy of Lochmaban was formerly far-famed. **Lord,’’ said he, **we pray Thee to re- member the magistrates of Lochmaben, such as they are!’’ An eccentric Argyleshire minister, no'ed for the same propensity as the Reverend Geordie, began service one Sun- day morning, after a spres the night before, with the following pithy and original prayer: ‘*‘O Lord, what are we this morning but a parcel of easy osies? Grant us, a big meat house, and a wea wrought house, and mountains o’ preed, and, cheese, and whisky like Loch mond, and puild a muckle us and tho tevil.’’ Whatever may have been his other de- ficiencies, a former minister of the Cum- lraes (two mere specks of islands in the Firth of Clyde), seems not to have been wanting in local patrio ism, as he wae wont to conclude his weekly Sunday prayer wiih the following petition: ‘*O Lord, have merey cn Thy servants, the denizens of Great and Little Cumberae, as also the inhabi-ants of the adjacent islands of Great Britain and Ireland.’’ A well-knewn Lanarkshire minister of the old school, recently deceased, was so sensitive to any suspicion of plagiarism that he never ailowed himself to make the slightest quotation without giving his authority. He was accustomed to as- semble his household every morning for family worship, snd on one occasiou he commenced his devotions thus: ‘‘O Lurd we heartily thank Thee that we have been awakened from the sleep whicha writer in the Edinburgh Review has called the image of death.’’ We will conclude with the following story related by a well-known Glasgow D.D.: The doctor, in company witha vrother clerygman,was spending a vaca- tion in Cumberland, and on the first sunday of their stay they attended divine servica in a little Scotch kirk in the vi- cinity, taking the precaution to sit ina remote corner, s0 that the officiating minister should not notice them. But the eagle eye of the minister detected them and in the intercessory prayer he so ex- ‘pressed himself as to make quite sure of some uid from them. The good man’s words were these: *‘Lord, have mercy on "hy ministering servants who have look- ed in upon us so wiexpectedly; one of whom will prevch in the afternoon, and the other in the evening.’’ —Belfast ‘Weekly News. seni iiasptiisiamegiiiaiaiaai vail EAL MERIT is we cnaracter- istic of Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

Tho two young men selected to be the bearers of gifts of tobacco deck them- selves for their mission and ride on in advance. <A surprise party is not in the Indian’s list of amusements; he takes his enemy unawares, but not his friend. The young men return with messages of welcome; sometimes members of the family to be visited come with them per- sonally to conduct the party. Meanwhile, all hava been busy prink- tng; brushing and braiding their locks, painting their faces, and donning their kest gear, the wide prairie their dressing room, their mirror each other’s eyes. When the visiting party isagain en route, there is not a man or woman who is not gorgeous with colorand the glitter of shell or feather finery.

It Requires Considerable Practice to Exeel in This Operation, Have a room as dark as you can or use a box 12 by 16 inches in size painted black inside. Stand on its end and open one side 8 inehes from the bottom. All above 8 inches closed, set box with this open side towards you and set the light in it. Nail a piece to bottom, under front edge, with the top of box back, this will enable you to see better. This box can be used in any place, though it is better in a dark place. Take such light as you have; the best candlers use common candles. Take two or three eggs in left hand and the eggs you candiein right hand, and hold sideways between you and the liglrt, as close to the light as you can, and let it rub against one of the eggs in left hand; sume are quite particular about this, as the eggs reflect the light through each other; turn the egg round until you are satisfied you have tested it. Take a strict- ly fresh egg as a stan‘lard to judge by. If an place like the vacuum in a mason’s spirit level appears on the upper side as you turn the egg, it is not strictly fresh ; though if this vacuum is small and the egg is all right otherwise it may be compara tively fresh, A dark or black spot in- dicates a poor egg: the white of stale eggs also looks thin and watery. Remember dark-shelled egzs are thicker shelled and do net candle as easily as white ones. You can only learn by breaking suspici ous ones, and it requires much practice to excel. —Charles W. McQueen, in Farm and Home Where Sound Travels, Eighteen miles is the longest distance on record at which @ man’s voica has been heard. This cccurred in the grand canyon of the Colorado, where one man snouting the nume of Bob at one end, his voice was plainly heard at the otherend, which was eighteen miles away. Lieut. Foster, on Peary’s third Arctic expedi- tion, found that he could converse with a man across the harbor of Port Powen, a distance: of 6696 feet, or about one mile and a quarter; and Sir John Franklin said that he had conversed with ease at a distance of more than a mile. Dr. Youig record; that aw Gib- raltur the human voice has been heard at a distance cf ten milea. Sound has retnarkable force in water. Colladon, by experiments made in the Lake of Geneva, estimated that a b. ll submerg- ed in the sei mizit b: heard at a dis- tance of more flan six y miles. Frank- lin says thay pe heard ibs striking to- gether of two stones in the water half a mile away. Over water or a surface of ics sound is propagated with great clearness and strength. Dr. Hutton re- lates that on a quiet part of the Thames, near Chelsea, be could hear a person read distinetly at a distance of 140 feet, while away from the Water the same could not be heare. Persons in a balloon can hear voices from the earth along time after they themselves are inaudible to people below. —Caicago Times- Herald. Destined for Success. A few days agoa business man on High street, New Bodford, Mass., adver- tised fora boy. Among the replies re- ceived by mail was one which read as follows: ‘*Dear Sir,—I want the place. My parents is ded and I got to hustle. Beets hell how hard times is. Yoors trooley, William ——.’’ Being a man of shrewd businegs sagacity, the merchant engaged him by the next mail. I had considerable interest in the c:reer of this eltterprising young man, and a few days af.er called at the store to see how he preg vessed. He had one black eye end a pronounced Jimp and a generaliy broken- up appearare>. fle had been in the business but two days, and in that time pad thrashed the porter of the store, fal- len down stairs into the cellar and had won $2.50 from the boys pitching cop- pers; had also shown up on time cvery day and got in a full days work. If this young man is not destined fora great commercial career then all signs fail.— New York Herald. Her Own Mistress. ‘“‘I¢ I were living my life over,”’ said an unmarried woman of 50 the other day, | ‘“when I reached the age of 25 I should ask my father to give me one of his little houses, of which he owned a good many, and let me goandliveinit. When a girl grows intoa woman her instinct leads her to long to be at the head of her own home, whether she is married or un- married. To be absolute mistress, even of a single room in a lodging house, after a day of toil 1s often better to her than to be under the absolute control of her parents ig a comfortable home, and this, even though there may he the tenderest love between them. Few mothers at least ever quite outgrow a sense of arbitrary groprietorship in their daughters, and few daughters between the ages of 25 and 4@ cap be thoroughly contented in any home of which they are not mistress, however patiently and nobly they may voneea) their feelings. After 40 they are often so tired as to be glad to be relieved of # | responsibility.’”’ Ee Camm reial Travellers. Wu.

Joux PeppDICOMB, 160 Sydenham St. Counterfeits A few years ago agreat discovery was made. Unprincipled persons are trying to prey upon and dupe people who are led to ask for kidney treatment. Some of the methods adopted by imitat- ors are as follows: First—To imitate the size, color and shape of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and sell them by count. nearly the same and to be offered at the same price. Third—To hook on the word “kidney” in naming cathortic pills so as to increase sales of mere physic. Fourth—To givea name so near to Dodd’s that unwary people may be deceiv- ed and think they are getting Dodd’s. Look out for such dodges. When you want kidney medicine you want the be-t. And ought not to be the subject for any trick. So beware. A penny savei is usually a penny earr- ed for the benefit of some one with a scheme.

At a great height many persons would no more think of looking down upon the | surface of the earth than they would of i thrusting a hand into a blazing fire. An irresistible impulse comes over them to jump, and this impulse is stronger when the feet are close to the edge of the roof of a high building. Dr. Edward Lanning, the American physician who practised his profession in Parijs for tem or eleven years, says ho has seen more cases of ‘‘elevation fright’? in the French capital than he has in any other city he has ever been in. ‘I do not know,’’ said he, a peculiarity of the French character, but I have frequently been called tn | cases where death has resulted ina leap from a tall building or a tower—not that I could do any good, but simply to see whether I could decermine from previens family nistory whether or not the victim Was insane or not ‘*A bout two years ago I was visited by a sailor, an Alsatian, who told me he ox- perienced the peculiar sensation of terrer when at an elevation, and that he was ur¢ble to take a herth on any vessel where his duites would require him to go aloft further than 12 or 15 feat from tho deck. He consented to go with me to a tall building and go onthe roof, so I could observe his condition when he look- ed over the edgo into space. I took two assistants with mo asa precaution, One of them brought a rope at the sai'crs re- quest. Ee said he would not dare ven- ture to the edge ot the roof unless he heel one end of the rope around his waist and felt that the other end was securely held. , I acceded to that and told him to go as close to the edge as he pleased. “We were very high up—1i25 feet, I should say. The sailor walked cauticus- ly toward the eaves, and I walked along- side of him, He looked over and jumped back, and then walked forward again 1 observed that the punil of his eye had be- come dilated, and in a few moments the perspiration ran down his face in streams. His pulse bounded and his muscles twitched. He stood quiet!y without tug- ging at the rope, but told me that if ho did not know that he was being held he certainly could not have resisted the de- sire to leap out into space, ‘*He got down on his hands and knees and tried to become accustomed to look- ing over the roof’s edge, but said he could not. He wanted to draw himself for- ward and plunge over head first. I final- ly took him down stairs. when he recover- ed his equanimity. He cameto see me a year afterward, and said that he had tried his best to cure himself of what he considered a weakness, but was unable to do so. The man was perfectly sane, and apparently cool and collected when on terra firma, but at seventy-five or a hun- dred feet he became an abject coward. “About three months ago lI was net surprised when I received a letter from one of my colleagues telling me that the sailor had cast himself from a halloon in which he ascended with an aeronaut near Dieppe,and had been dashed to pieces.’ ’— New York Mail and Express. “that it is CAT THAT PLAYS WITH A RAT, The Latter Does Not Appear to Enjoy the Sport. In the show window of a saloon called the Defender,on the north side of Green- wich street, between Vesey and Fulton streets, a very interesting performance takes place every day, which is free of charge to all such as can elbow their way into the curious crowe that gathers on the pavement. ‘he performers are a big black cat, with round, yellow eyes, white whiskers and a fluffy tail, and a fat white rat, with small but bright eycs and a tail like a piece of whipcord. A white rat is a curiosity enough in itself, but when seen in playful associa- tion with a black cat it offers an unus- ually entertaining spectacle. The cat has a very good time, but ths rat, it is quite apparent, would rather be some- where else. The performance consists of a series of graceful gambols in which the cat pats the rat with Its soft paw, chases it about the window, catches it gen'ly in its mouth, and otherwise disports itself. The rat, being unable to defend itself, is obliged to submit, though with a very bad grace. It is plain tkat it suf- ers more from terror than from physi- cal pain, for the cat works with sheath- ed claws, and is very gentle. The rat knows by instinct that pussy has some- thing dangerous hidden away in those padded paws, and that one crunch with its teeth would make one white rat less, At times when tormented to the very limit of desperation, the rat does the only thing that a defenseless creature can do under the circumstances li turns suddenly at bay, sits up its hind legs and makes a show of fighting. There are some who say they have seen the rat chase the cat around the window, on but this is not very likely, unless, in- deed, the cat permitted it in a epirit of fun. It is said that a cat will never harm a white (or albino) rat, and will never go further than to play with it. Two different cats have been placed in the window on Greenwich street,and beither of them has done the rat any injury. A Chinese Proverb. Arthur H. Smith, in his wonderfully bright, accurate, and yet somewhat mis- Jeading bouok called ‘*Chinese Characteris- tics,’’ quotes the Chinese proverb that ‘fone man should not enter a temple, and two men should not look together into a well,’’ adding, ‘‘And why,we Myuire in surprise, should not one man enter a temple alone? Because the priest may take advantage of the opportanity to make away wih him! Two men shonid not gaze into a weil, for if one of them is in debt to the other, or hasin his posses sion something which the other wants, that other may seize ile occasion to push his companion into the well !’’—‘‘ Respon- sibility Among the Chinese,"’ by Prof. C. M. Cady, in the January Century. Beautiful Cottons From the Orient. Some of the Eastern cottons, with their rich colorings intermixed with the sheen of metal threads, keep their color and their brightness so long that they are an excellent investment for the economical woman who likes artistic things. A square of such a fabric, costing not more than $2, lately seen, had as a background a thin white cotton, under which was the glint of gold threads made silvery by the white woven over them. The fabric was figured with soft shades of blue, rose, olive and yellow,and although it had been in use two years is as beautiful as at first, looking like some priceless treasure from the Orient. Such bits for a table-spread or pillow cover are often to be found in the upholstery department of large city stores of the better class, or at stores making a specialty of Eastern goods. 7-ere | Aw Op Axp Wett Tarp Remepy.
