Mothers Might Learn Antidotes.
A young mother, during the iniancy
of her first born, set herself the task
of committing to memory antidotes
for the commonest poisons known, es-
pecially those that it might be pos-
sible for children to come into contact
with. In addition to this, she mem-
orized methods of aiding drowning
and injured persons. In fact, learred |
sort of a “first aid to the injured” set
of rules. Would not this be an excel |
lent plan for all mothers?—Good |

Test for Diamond.
To test diamonds the following 1s
given: “Make a hole in a card with |
2 needle and look at the card through !
the diamond or imitation. If it is a |
genuine stone you will see but one |
hole; if it is an imitation you will see |
two holes. Or, place the object to be
examined on your finger and with a |
magnifying glass look through it. If |
genuine you can not see the grain of
the finger;
the grain perfectly,”

Providence in Human Affairs. |
If a great change is to be made in
human affairs, the minds of men will
be fitted to it, the general opinions
and feelings will draw that way. Ev-
ery fear, every hope, will forward it;
and then they who persist in oppos-
ing this mighty current in human af-
fairs will appear rather to resist the
decrees of Providence itself than the
decrees of men.—Edmund Burke.
Nothing To It.
Patience—This paper says that the
French language is more suitable for
use when telephoning than the Eng-
lish has been discovered since London
and Paris were linked by telephone.
Patrice—Why, that's ridiculous; I
had a Frenchman telephone one day,
and I couldn't understand a word he
sald!—Yonkers Statesman,
Ready.
Rev. Gude—"Isn't there some one
here who will help us to keep up inter.
est in the church?” Deacon Tightwad
(suddenly awakening)—"1, for one, am
prepared to raise the rates to 8 per
cent. on real estate loans and 10 per
cent. on chattel mortgages, if the other
money lenders in the congregation
will co-operate.”—Puck.
Right Giving.
Our giving must be such as truly to
enrich both giver and receiver. But
we can all judge these things fairly
well for ourselves; if we make mis-
takes sometimes those mistakes will
be forgiven to us where the motive
was right,
Pleasure in Life.
The life of a good man is not at
all in want of pleasure, as a certain
appendage, but contains pleasure in
itself; for he is not a good man who
does not rejoice in beautiful actions;
and actions according to virtue will
he in themselves delectable.—Aris-
totle.
Strange Sight.
“When we were on Lake Michigan
last summer,” says Mrs. Maxigram-
mar, “we saw a beautiful sight one
afternoon. We were away out in the
middle of the lake, and we steamed
past a schooner with a woman on it
full of brick and lumber.”"—Judge.
One Thing Worth Having.
In this world the one thing worth
having is the opportunity, coupled
with the capacity, to do well and wor-
thily a plece of work the doing of
which is of vital consequence to the
welfare of mankind.—Theodore Roose-
velt,
Not Selfish,
“Mary,” said the sick man to his
wife, after the doctor had pronounced
it a case of smallpox, “if any of my
creditors call, tell them that 1 am
at least in a condition to give them
something.”"—Tit-Bits.”
Easily Explained.
The Schoolmaster—Now, how was
it that this great discovery made by
Columbus was not fully appreciated
until many years after his death? The
Up-to-Date Scholar—Because he didn't
advertise, sir.—Sketch.
The Drawback.
The sage who remarked that “every
cloud has a silver lining” might have
gone on to explain that the lining isn't
visible from the position which the
majority of us have to view the clouds,
History Repeats Itself.
“Can't say that the world is get-
ting a bit smarter,” asserted grandpa.
“My grandson asks me the same silly
questions that his father asked at his
age."—Lippincott’s,
Very Similar.
Mrs. Ecru—Although 1 have been to
school and college and am supposed
to be educated, I always mix up those
two countries—Rococo and Morocco.

ELIZABETH’S PERIL.
A whoop of mingled rage, terror
and pain penetrated to the upper re-
gions and heralded the coming of
Elizabeth,
Elizabeth's mother, for whom the
sound, familiar though it was, has
never been robbed of its terrors, ran
out of her bedroom and half way
down the stairs to meet her waiting
offspring. She sank down upon one
of the steps and instantly a pair of
frantic arms were locked about her
knees and a Dutch cropped head and
a huge pink hair ribbon were buried
in her lap.
Elizabeth's mother gathered into
her protecting arms the head, the
pink bows and as much as possible
of the plump, pathetically heaving
body.
“What's the matter with mother's
baby?” she asked tenderly.
“Wow, wow, wow!"
Elizabeth.
Elizabeth's mother clasped her lit-
tle daughter closer to her. “Are you
hurt, darling?” she queried, anxious-
1y.
“Wow, wow, wow!” The pink bows
vibrated violently, but indefinitely.
“Elizabeth, dear,” said her mother,
rying to uncover the hidden face,
“you must stop crying and tell me
Are you hurt?”
The head merely burrowed deeper
into the friendly lap. “It's—it's my
tooth,” gasped Elizabeth, finally.
“Your tooth, sweetheart?” ex-
claimed her mother. “Does it ache?”
“No, 1 don't guess 0.” The answer
came in a tone that was something
between a bellow and a sniffle.

“Then what's the matter?” Eliza- |
beth's mother was growing slightly |
peevish under the strain. “Elizabeth,
you've got to stop howling and tell |
me.” * She raised the tear-stained face
and held it firmly between her two |
hands.
“Now, tell me,” she said, authori |
tatively. “If your tooth doesn't ache, |
what are you shrieking about?” |
‘There was a fresh outburst of tears,
but with the flood came the words: |
“It's=—oh, it's coming out!”

new one in its place.”
“Oh, 1 don’t mind the tooth,” wail-
ed Elizabeth, “but Tom said—oh,
dear! Oh, dear me! We was all out
playin'—"
“We were out playing,”
Elizabeth's mother, gently.
“Yessum. We was all out playin’
and Tom he come along—"
“Tom came along, baby,” Elizabeth's
mother said, patiently.
“Yessum. And Tom he come along
and he said—" The remainder of the
story was lost in another whoop of
woe,
Elizabeth's mother rose and led her
small daughter to the bathroom and
bathed her face thoroughly.
“That's nothing to
she said, com-
After that she took the very woe- |
begone infant into the mother’s own
room and sat down in the big rockinz
chair with Elizabeth in her lap and
rocked her until the sobs had ceased.
When the much-to-be-desired result
had been gained she went to her
dresser and took out a paper bag of
soft molasses candy. Elizabeth's eyes
glistened.
“Now,” said Elizabeth's mother, “we
are going to have a perfectly beautiful
treat, just us two.”
Fairly radiating joy, Elizabeth bur-
ied her more or less uncertain little
tooth in the piece of candy. Then
she removed the candy hastily, gave
it one lecok and immediately set up a
shriek that made the plaster nearly
start from the walls.
“Wow, wow, wow!” She took up
the cry where she had dropped it a
short time before. “Wow, wow, wow!
My tooth's gone, and Tom said—"
The shriek ceased as suddenly as it
had begun. Two large tear drops were
arrested midway down her fat cheeks
and a smile, beginning in a very small
way, grew and grew until it threat-
ened to bisect her face. She ran to
the mirror and regarded intently the
gap left by the departed tooth.
“Why, mother—Tom thaid, he thaid
that when my tooth came out—he
‘thaid that he knew a girl who looked
just like me, with little poppy eyes
and pink hair ribbonth, and when her
tooth came—that when my tooth
came out—that when her tooth wath
gone—that 1 wouldn't know how to do
anything but just whithle! He thaid
that when that girl's tooth that look-
ed like me wath gone she couldn't
ever talk again. And, mother, it
waithn't tho! It kind o' hitheth when
1 do it, but I can talk! [I can talk
jutht ath much ath ever!”
Elizabeth's mother fled hastily into
the next room and buried her head
in a thick bath robe which was hang-
ing in the corner of the closet.
“The eternal feminine!” she chok-
ed. “How her father would enjoy it
if I should tell him! But I don't be-
lieve I'll tell him. [I think this is a
case in which only a mother can thor
oughly sympathize.”

Truly Conservative.
Talleyrand's conservatism was
summed up by a witty compatriot,
Paul de Courrier, who declared that if
Talleyrand had been present at the

“Good gracious! Chaos will be de-
