What Oared: Peter Doldrum.
A TALE or WOMAN'S INGENUITY.
Peter Doldrum was inclined to be
shiftless. He was not a man of ex-
tended, business capacity, nor had
he,. by inheritance, been blessed
with great intellect . or much of
worldly goods. Peter Doldrum was
a day laborer in a small country
village, owning a poor cottage and a
poor piece of land; but both land
and cot might have been made much
better had. Peter Doldrum so willed
and determined; in fact the cot,
which came from the parents of his
wife, was pleasantly situated, and
the land had been of the 'very best
quality. But Peter was satisfied to
work for others who pay him, takin
little heed to the capacities anti
possibilities of his own place.
And yet Peter had not lived un-
happily. His wife was e thrifty,
hard-working, good-natured woman,
very seldom speaking otherwise than
kindly to her husband, though often
sorely tried; for at heart Peter was
kindness and docility personified.
Bat, alas, there was danger of his
going to the bad. The symptoms
were strong in that direction, Could
Mrs. Doldrum eorreet hint? She hacl
resolved that she would try,
It was a cold drizzling day in mid
November. Peter bad eaten his
breakfast,. and sat brooding over the
kitchen stove. Ilis wife said to
him;
Peter, can't you put some kind of
a weather strip on the bottom of the
back door to=day? The winch and
the rain beat in there dreadfully.
No, answered Peter with a shud-
der. it's a cold, wet job,and I don't
feel like it.
Well, can't you fix the pump? The
handle is loose, and the lower box
leaks.
Can't do it, Susan; 1 ain't a pump -
maker.
But you can do something towards
it, if you try.
I don't want to try. Ten to one I
should spoil it.
Then won't you fix my mop and
water pail ?
Not to -day. • They'll wriggle
through if you're keerful.
You can at least fix the windows Ready for Him.
in our chamber so that they .won't

Don't bother me, Susan. I ain't
in the mood for work. Just you

and prepared for going .cut. His

When election time comes round,
farmers are told from the hustings
that they are the "backbone, "bone
and sinew," and the most important
class, representing the great produc-
ing industry of the country, the pro-
gress and prosperity of which depend
upon the progress and prosperity
of farming. It was in professed re-
cognition of the special pre-eminence
and needs of farming that the Port-
folio of Agriculture was created. If
any department of the Government
presents possibilities for new and
practical lines of work, where actual
-knowledge, born of experience and
personal sympathy, is needed, surely
it is here, where we have an elabo-

host of other associated lines of work
A Horror in Toronto,
A young man going under the
name of Holmes entered into a
scheme with one Pietzel to defraud
insurance companies. The insurance
was to be placed on the latter and
afterwards a body furnished to be
palmed off as Pietzel. Holmes how-
ever murdered his companion in
crime, and Pietzel's little children
were aware of their father's death.
In ' order to cover up that fact,
Holmes, it is supposed; cremated one
child, a boy, in Detroit, smothered
and buried two girls, aged fourteen
and twelve years, in the cellar of a
house on Vincent street in Toronto.
A clever Philadelphia detective
named Geyer got on the track of
Holmes, and with the assistance 'of
Detective Cuddy, of Toronto, the
bodies of the children. were found.

innocent children were murdered in
order to smother up other murders

A new' change, a neW leaf, a new

Enthusiasm is a flame which leaps,
not from mind to mind, but from
heart., It is blown into intenser heat
by a single heroic example more
than by all proverbs.
How mankind defers from day • to
day the best it can do and the moat

out thinking that every day may be

As storm following storm, and
wave succeeding wave, give addi-

encloses the pearl, so do' the storms
and waves of life add force to the
character of man.

It is not well to fall into Stoic ex-

suffices to generate happiness : but
we may well maintain, with Aristotle,
that the vii tuous man will never be

more of the real character of a man

An Onion Cough Syrup.
A cough syrup in which onions
form an important part, is made by
taking one cupful of vinegar, a cup-
ful of molasses and half a cupful of
cut-up onions. Put on a stove and
simmer about half an hour, or until
the onions are soft. Then remove
and strain. Take a teaspdonfut of
