Go and stretch your hand to him, Have a cheerful word to say; For his struggle may be grim,’ And "twill help him on his way. There's no need to ask him what Is his claim upon your smile, Has he ancestry or not That will make him worth your while. ‘What he's done or hopes to do, Is he famous or unknown? Speak a cheerful word ortwo, Make him feel he's not alone. To be strong is not a crime, ‘To be lonely, no disgrace; You yourself may years some time ‘To behold a smiling face. You some day may stand alone And know what it is to sigh, ‘When with strangers you are thrown, And you see them hurry by. We'retoc formal. Let us go To the stranger who is near. And a friendly feeling show; Let us speak a word of cheer. Let us stretch a kindly hand To the brother who's unknown; We can make him understand ‘That he doesn’t dwell alone. —Detroit Free Press. IN THE KILN. “We shall have to refuse the order, Mr. Bolton. You know what a mass that stock-room is since the fire, and with Williams sick and Johnson with a broken there fants a San in the place that can grade up the » Mr. Bolton, president of the Bolton Rint) Whesl Company, nodded. He did not like to decline an order from abroad three thousand dollars’ worth of wheels. But a recent fire which had burn- ed out the stock-room, and the wheels, which fire could not hurt, were now in contusion in the basement, awaiting sorting and storage in the new racks. e wheels on hand could not be sorted and graded, or new wheels made in time, for they had to be shipped with- in four days, if at all, to catch a steamer. Returning to his office and calling his stenographer, Mr. Bolton began his dis- tasteful task. But he had got no further in his letter than "We regret exceeding- ly—" when his office door opened, and a boy in dirty and tattered overalls enter- ed. “Well!” said Mr. Bolton. “I heard what you said to Mr. Eatner, sir,” said the boy. "I can grade those wheels if you want meto. I know how.” “You can grade wheels!” repeated Mr. Boiton, amazed. “What do you know about that work?” His tone was hostile and impatient. “Grading” emery-wheelscalls for a skilled touch, much knowledge of the degrees of hardness in material, of the work which emery-wheels are required to do, and of the sizes of emery used in making them. Of these there are many, and they run all the way from a coarse emery, screen- ed through a large wire mesh, to the finer “flour” emeries, obtained by the settling in water of an emery so fine that the individual grains cannot be seen. Ellis, the boy, flushed. “Mr. Williams taught me, sir,” he said. “I've been practicing. He said that he was going to ask you for an assistant, and was train- ing me so that I could help. I've graded for two months, evenings, and he's gone over my work, and says that I know how as well as he does.” “You don't say so!” said Mr. Bolton. & 8 i “I can try, sir. If Jou will give me help lift and stack the wheels, buy me some gloves, and have my meals sent in here I'll work night and day, and maybe you can get t Mr. Bait pressed a button, put r. Bolton rose, a pu his hand on Ellis’ shoulder, and said: “We'll try it.

It was to one of these kilns that Ellis, tired out and sleepy, went. A kiln is emptied as soon as its charge is cool enough to handle, but it remains warm for a long time after the fires are drawn. And so when Ellis cuddled down among the Ples of saggars, full of wheels feady for firing, he felt a pleasant warmth whic cured his shivering, and which quickly sent him to sleep. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that he slept long and soundly, and that Mr. Bolton, when in the morning he fail- i bi find him to Song dtuiste it on his achievement, supposed that he gone home to much-needed rest. When Ellis awoke, it was dark in the kiln, although a little light, coming through the chimney and the draft-hole in the domed roof, made the piles of sag- gars resemble ghostly columns. For a moment he forgot where he was. Then he remembered. "Funny it's so dark—why—they've shut the door!” Then he knew why he was so frightened, why his heart was beating so fast. A slight, acrid smell of smoke was in the air. He thought that the bricks beneath the sand at his feet were warmer than they had been. “They've shut me in—and the kiln is being fired! I've got to get out of here quick!” Ellis’ first thought was of the door, and in a moment he was banging on it with all his might. It was of iron, and only when he remembered that it was the inner door which he was hammering on, and that another, also of iron, was two Jest bevond, and deadened the sound, did The smell of smoke was stronger, and the heat more perceptible. The was thickest near the center of the kiln, for there it rose to go through the smoke- hole into the sm ber above, into the open air. Ellis was frantic with fear.

But Ellis was nearly uncon- scious with the smoke, with exhaustion, and with the terrible nervous strain. For a moment he thought that his strength was unequal to the task. But the same cou which had ena- bled kim to finish ing the wheels in time, and the thought of what would soon be a fierv furnace below, gave him ener- gy. He raised himself painfully to the balanced weakly on the edge, then led, unconscious to the ground. Luck- ily, he landed in a pile of sand.

Care of Baby’s Nose, Throat Ears. BY MARIANNA WHEELER, in Harper's Bazar. (Continued from last week.) INDIVIDUAL HANDKERCHIEFS.—As soon as a child is old ‘enough he should be taught to use a handkerchief and prope. ly expel mucus from the nose. handkerchief should be an individual af- fair and the use of a common family one cannot be too strongly condemned. Most colds, especially those of the influenza type, are now pronounced infectious by physicians. phtheria germs are also as common in the nose as in the throat, if not more so, and surely there is no surer way of distributing these germs, so common to both nose and throat, than by the JRdiscriminate use of the handker- ef. The Joungest baby should have a hand kerchief laid aside for his special use, and the use of mother’s, father's, nurse's, or any one's else should be stri hibited.

In mushroom growing one of the first requisites is to secure fresh, reliable spawn. Most of the Stem used in this country is imported, being grown in Eng- | land and France, but there is a consider- able amount of good American spawn also put on the market, which is usually quite reliable. The important thing is to secure the so-called virgin spawn, or a new growth of Mycelium of the Agaricus Capestric. This spawn can be obtained from reliable seedmen or frem certain mushroom spawn dealers in various parts of the United States. The customary Price is $2 for enough spawn for 30 square , feet. Mushrooms may be Brown in any place where the condition of temperature and moisture are favorable. A shed, cave, cellar or any vacant space in a green- house may be utilized to advantage. The most essential factor is the obtaining of proper temperature, which should range from 53 to 60 degrees, 55 to 58 degrees ' being best. i The second most important factor is that of moisture. The place should not be very damp, although a moist atmos- phere is desirable for the best growth of the fungus. In selecting a place in which | to grow mushrooms it will be necessary | to consider that the cold is less injurious | to mushrooms than heat.
