Harry was standing in the road, on the way borne from school, There had been a heavy shower an hoar before, and there was a large puddle in the road. He bad a switch, and was switching the water from side to aide. Nettie came along, and looked very eruely at Harry. "You stop that !" she said. Harry did not like the way she spoke, nor the look on her face. "Say 'please,' and I will," he raid - "I'm not going to ray 'please' l" "Then I shall do it its long as I like." "I oau't get by till you stop." "Yee you can. I'm not hinder ing you." "You are. I shall get all upload'. ed." "Thenstay where you are. You can't make me stop." Now, the truth vete that Harry did not care a Vit about switching the water any longer. If Nettie had spoken pleasantly he would have stopped at 01310. But now he felt as if he would stay there all day just to spite her. "I shell tell your mother, you mean boy, if you don't atop," went on Nettie. Harry laughed louder as Nettie tried to run by. He gave a harder switch and laughed more loudly than ever as he saw Nettie's white apron spotted with mud, She keowled bask at him as she went 311. Nettie had justturned the corner when Ruthse came up. Harry look- ed at her a little sourly♦ for he did not feel half eo pleasantly as he had before Nettie came. Do you wonder why ? Was it be- cause Nettie had been erose ? Part- ly eo ; for no ono Dan speak or look crossly. without leaving a shadow behind. But Harry felt that he had been wrong, too, and that is worse than to suffer wrong from an- other. "Stop a minute, and let me get by, Hairy," sail Ruthie, "I don't have to stop," growled Harry. "But I can't get home till you let me pass." "I don't care. You won't make me stop." "Oh, yes, I can," said Ruthie with a laugh. "I should like to see you try," said Harry, holding his switch tighter than before while he looked at Ruthie. "You're as big as I am ; but who cares for that ?" "I can, though," said Buthlo. How do you think she did 11 ? She came nearer, still smiling, and said : "harry please let me pass. You wouldn't be ugly to' me, 1 know." He gave a little laugh a3 be stood back to let her pose, saying : "Well, if that's 'the way you're going to melte tie, I guess I'll have to givo np." HOW GRANDPA KINDLED THE FIRE. It was a good many years ago that grandpa made the fire which I am to tellyou of, It is s0 easy to start a lire now, when a match -safe hangs iu every room,.. that it would not make much of a story if I were to tell you "how grandpa kindled the fire" tine morning. But you know matches do not grow on trees. They are made by people. And so there must have been a time when there were no matobe at all, But even if matches were made at that time grandpa could not get them very easily. for he lived, In a new country, far from towns and stores. The people in this new couutry got along very well without matobes. 'l'lsoy had big deep fireplaces, where the fire was never allowed to go ont. When they did not need the fire they ,covered it up with aches. There it would lie snugly iu its earm bed until the next day, wheu the hot wale wale ratted out and a fire soon started. Grandpa moved, while his alsild ren were liar::, from one pert of this new couutry to another. The fire on the broad stone Hearth was left to die out. Their goods were pack• ed into ox waggons, the children were tucked in cosy places among the bedding, and they started on a two days' journey through the woods. It was late in. the afternoon when they reached their new home. The children were tired after their long ride, and so hungry ! The food which their mother had cooked for the journey was all gone. The men were soon busy unloading the wag - gone. When the flour barrel was rolled into the house, grandma said : "If I only bad a fire now, I could make some biscuits for supper." "I'll start a fire right away," said grandpa. He brought in dry wood and piled it up in the wide fireplace, and put a big bunch of toe/ among the stioke. Then, while the child- ren crowded around, eager to see where the lire was to come from, he brought out his gun. He loaded it with powder, field it close to the tow, and fired, right•into the middle of it. There was a bright flash as the blaze toadied the tow, and soon the flames were pushing through the dry wood and dancing up the broad chimney, That is the way grandpa kindled the first fire in the new house. Varieties. A boy who was kept in after school for bad orthography said he was spell -bound. '1 haven't dot the he -cups,' she said ; 'it's the she -cups I have dot, for I'm a little dill. Said a little boy who, during a visit to Florida, was obliged to drink condensed milk : 'Mamma, I just wish that ooudensed cow would die.' A school -teacher lately int the question, 'What is the highest form of animal life?' 'Too giraffe 1' re- sponded a bright member of the class.

A boy after a great deal of labor to make a composition, began one with this truly affecting remark : 'It. is rather difficult and pretty impos- sible to convey unto others those ideas of which you are not yourself posseesed of.' A father was telling his little son about the wonders of modern science and said, 'Look at astronomy, now I Men have learned the distance of the stars, and, with their spectroscopes, what they are made of.' 'Yes,' said the boy, 'and, pe, isn't it strange how they found out all their names?' Bobby came into the house sobbing and told his mother that Tommy White, a neighbor's boy, had kinked him. 'Well, Tommy White is a very bad boy,' said Bobby's mother, hand- ing him a large slice of cake.

Green vegetables will retain their color if cooked in au uncovered ves- sel. 11'or poison oak„ bathe iu cream and gunpowder twice a day till cured. To .cleanse white zephyr shawls, rub well with dry flour and hang in the wind. Wash gilding with water in which onions have been ,boiled, and dry with a soft cloth. 0lothespues boiled a few minutes and quickly dried mice or twice ,t month become more durable. Add a Bide ,petroleum to tie wet er in which waxed or polished floors ere washed to improve their looks. To make tine sbiue wash in hot soapsuds, dip a dampened cloth in fine sifted coal ashes, then polish with dry ashes. A roost with a low ceiliug will seem higher if iter window curtains hang to the floor. Lambrequius may be used to extend the curtains to the ceiling, and thus earry out the effect. A. London medical man says : "Be careful in your dealings with horseradish. It irritates the stom- ach far more than spine, and ate overdose will bring on an unpleas- ant sensation for days." Coffee pounded in a mortar and roasted on au iron plate, sugar burned on hot coals, and vinegar boiled with myrrh and sprinkled on the floor and furniture of a sick room are excellent deodorizers. Ink stains are entirely removed by the immediate application of dry salt before the ink bas dried. When the salt becomes discolored by absorbing the ink, brush it off and apply more ; wet slightly. Con• tinue this till the ink is all removed. There is no economy in purchas• ing brown sugar. The muistnre it contains more than makes up for the difference in price ; but for some things, such as dark cake and mince pies, many nooks prefer it. Granulated sugar is the pureet and best for ordinary uses. A very cot'nplete filling for open cranks in floors may be made by thoroughly soaking newspapers in a paste made by one pound of flour, three quarts of water and a table- spoonful of alum, thoroughly boiled and mixed. Make the final ' mix- ture about as thick tee putty, a kind of paper putty, and it will harden like papier macho. Farm Notes. The general purpose cow, to end up in a big bunoh of beef, is a fallacy, for a good cow should be kept for milk until she is past pro- fit to feed for beef. It does not pay to try to fatten old Bowe. Raising mules, pays for the, reason that it costs less to raiee mulee than horses, and, beinghardier,- there is less risk of loss. Who're there ie plenty of pasturage a young mule will secure, nehrly all the food he may require. • Mares in foal should have exercise and moderate work,' and under no circumstances should they be rub. jetted to harsh treatment, nor should they ever be allowed .to go where they would be in danger of being frightened.. The fall colt can be turned on the pasture, and will cost but little. A. mese of and night, with hay is all it requires. Mares intended for spring work should always foal in the fall, in order that the colt may be weaned in spring. It will not pay to attempt to farm with fewer horses than are really required. An overworked horse may be reduced in value more than the sum that may be derived from the crop he produces. Every farm - or should have aspare horse or two in order to rest the hard workers' especially in summer.

The Woodstock Times sage : A Blenheim eubecriber furnishes us with details of an otter hunt in the tow'diihip last Thursday. William Thompson was hunting along the banks of the river Nith on the south side of Walter Robson's farm, near where the river runs for a short alis• Lance parallel with the 1815 line. Walking up the river on the south bank he noticed a large animal swimming around and diving in a deep place in the stream. He in- stantly brought his Winchester rifle in and fired, wounding the animal which paused him to swim rapidly around several times. It thou swam down the stream, and when within 15p yards of Mr. Thompson he fired at it again, this time fatal. ly, for the animal struggled via. lently for a ehort time and then turned over on its bank and floated down stream. Mr. Thompson pro. cured a long stick and drew the animal ashore. To hie great pleas - are the prize proved to be a mag- nificent otter, nearly six and a half feet long, and 'a splendid shin of fur on it. On skinning he was sur- prised to find a small chain around its heal{ embedded in the lir.
