Tlirco Very Itad Pears."
Jjatty Martin and her sister Fan
played out of doors nil last Summer
Even rainy days did hot keep them In,
for behind their house was a barn with
great wide-open doors ami a broad Moor.
A covered walk led to It, along which
the chlldrrn loved to FCamper. In the
front yard, there was a round arbor of
cvergnens, whlth iimde a capital doll
hmic. 'J hero the-e little girls carried
their tea-set on pleasant mornings, and
theie the dolls took ten at all hours of
the day.
The children's father was n farmer,
and he look care of n great fai ni belong
ing to Mr. Preston, who lived In the
handsome Inuse on the hill. Mr. Pres.
ton's gaiden and oiehnrds stretched
t'.own the valley to the faun hotisu
where tho Mm tin family lived. He was
fond of his trees'tind crops, and watched
Hie fiuits with care, "hut most of nil he
prized h's young pear orchard. Last
Suijimer some of the trees were bearh'g
for the first time, and ho told Mr. Mar
tin 'to see '.hut nobody touched them.
One b.-igaluot pe.ir tree had three pears
on.lt, mid Mr. Preston wished to sur
prise his wife with them. She was n
Fiench lady, and was u-cd to them In
her own country; but Ihey are uot com
mon here.
Well, nun afternoon Matty and Fan
ny Martin had played everything that
they knew.
"What would you do?" said Matty to
Fan.
' What would youlol" said Fan lo
Matty.
Matty looked up the orchard path that
led towards Mr. Preston's. The smooth
gravel walk, with Its grassy border and
shading trees, looking very tempting.
They were strictly forbidden, to go there.
"I guiss we shouldn't hurt the trees,
just to look at them," said Matty, with
an lujuml air. "I don't see why wo
can't take a walk Into the orchard."
"Nobody's ever there," said Fan,
"and mother's in the sitting-room. She
HuJt seo us."
, Sji, hand In hand, they stepped care
fully up the wulk, tiending sortly at
first and keeping exactly In tho middle
so as to be sure they did no harm, ylll
was quiet, and tho way grow prettier as
they left the farm- house behind. Pacing
on, they came to a beautllul pond, with
tents of twisted wood upon the green
banks. They passed an nrbor covered
with vines, out of which peeped the
rich garpe clusters. "Isn't It splendidl"
said Matty. "And oh, what lovoly
apples," said Fan. "Aren't you glad
you came?" Still farther on were llowor
borders. Tlie air grow sweet 'with late
blooming pinks, four-o'clocks'and mlg
nonetes. Time flew past while they
were lost in the new delight of peeping,
Into the green house, and gazing at tho
bright scailet beds of geranium, and
the u.assea of gruy and citmsou plaits.
At last they met a man nt work lu
the grounds, and ho asked them what
their names were. Then the little girls
started off on a run for home. They
could see the house from the high gar
den ground where they were, but could
not find the straight gravel path again.
They dashed over tho i,rasi and across
the orchard, tunning among the trees
till they were out of breath. Then they
threw themselves down at tho very
worst spot tho could have chosen. It
was close to tho la?rgainoi,t pear tree,
and the threo pears hung down within
there reach. They were hard, and
quite unfit to eat for weeks to come, but
these childron knew no better than to
think they were delicious.
"I'm awful hungry," cried Fan.
"Nobsdy wants these poor, mls'ablo
peats," said Jatty., "There's lots of
great big trees, you saw yourself, all
loaded down villi be-yew-tlful pears
nnd peaches and eyeryllilng,"
"I know It," tald Fan. "Nobody'll
never caro for th'iso few old things."
So they each plucked and tasted, llko
their niothor Evo before them. Very
wry faces, they madoover the dry, hard
uurlpe fruit, which a Utile more time'
and sunshine would have made luscious.
They were quite vexed, so that Matly
even snatched the third pear roughly
from the tree, (lung it with theotheis

A fo.v hints and recipes for the sick
room nny now nnd then be in place.
Everything arcund the sick should be
quiet and, cl-anly. The nurso should
have a steady baud, clear head and ten
der heart; not talkative or nervous.
Avoid nrguments.wlth.tho sick; do not
sit or lean on the bed. Friends calling
on the sick shoull make their stay short.
Tho practice of visiting the sick on tho
Sabbath is a very poor one that day
often thus becomes the mosttrylng and
fatiguing of all to them. As a general
rule do uot go Into the sick room unless
you go to help. Do not deceive, tho
sickjllecelt breeds suspicion, and they
will worry lest you keep something
for them. Don't pursuado, tho, dying
that they will recover, It Is treason
against the Interests of the.soul. JVever
enter, a sick room In.n moment of pres
plratlon; ns the moment you becoino
cool your pores absorb. Do uot ap
proach contagious disease with an
empty stomach, nor sit botwecn tho sick"
and lire, because tho heat attracts tho'
vapor. Preventives are preferableto pills
or powdew. Spirits of ammonia, In
haled, Is good for the headache, nnd to
help tho breathing In bad colds. It
cools and soothes a feverish patient to
wash him in warm water, In which
saleratus or soda has been dissolved. A
little cotton batting, wet with sweet oil
add laudanum, put In tho ear, will caro
the ear-ache in the beginning ot It.

her go back and gather the scattered

Any thoughtless, careless child can
