If Mother Would Listen.
If mother would listen to me, dears,
Se would freshen that faded gown,
She would sometimes take an hour's rest,
And sometimes a trip to town.
And it shouldn't be all for the children,
The fun, and the cheer, and the play;
With the patient droop on the tired mouth,
And the "Mother has had her day!"
True, mother has had her day, dears,
When you were babies three,
And she stepped about the farm and the house,
As buay as a bee.
When she rocked you all to sleep, dears,
And eent you ail to school,
And wore herself out, and did without,
And lived by the Golden Rule.
And so your turn has come, dears,
Her hair is growing white ;
And her eyes are gaining the far -away look
That peers beyond the night.
One of these days in the tuorning-,
Mother will not be here, -
She will fade away into silence—
The mother so true and dear.
Then, what will you do in the daylight,
And what in the gloaming dim?
And father, tired and lonesome then,
Pray, what will you do for him ?
If you want to keep your mother,
You must make her rest to -day;
Must give her a share in the frolic,
And draw her into the play.
And if mother would listen to me, dears,
She'd buy her a gown of silk,
With buttons of royal velvet*
And ruffles as white as milk.
And she'd let you do the trotting,
While she sat still in her chair.
That mother should have it hard all through,
It strikes me isn't fair.
—Margaret E. Sangster.
A Famous Milkman.
It has been written of Garibaldi by one of
his biographers that though he, like all
mortals, had his faults, his motives were
never selfish. His home life at Caprera was
very simple: A visitor at his house in 1858
gives a description of it.
It was Garibaldi'a habit to retire very
early. In the morning, as the visitor look-
ed oat from the uncurtained window, he saw
a cow rushing by impetuously, with its head
down and ite tail in the air. No sooner had
the animal disappeared than Garibaldi and
his daughter, Teresa, catne in sight, one
carrying a milk pail, and the other a milking
stool.
About an hour afterward, when the com-
pany had assembled round the breakfast
table, the explanation of this cow hunt was
given. Garibaldi apologized for the scanty
supply of milk.
"You see, Teresa," he said, addressing
his daughter in a tone of mild rebuke,
"your temper is the only cause that pre-
ivents us from offering enough milk to the
signora.
"1 repeatedly impress upon my children,"
he continued, turning toward the lady who
tells the story, "that one ought always to
treat animals kindly, and that they are
much more amenable to kindness than to
blows. This Zoni, for instance, is our beat
cow, but she wilt not endure s blow; so
that, when Teresa thoughtlessly hit her in
the stable, it excited her, and wade her
quite unmanageable.
"I had to go a long way in the field to
find her. Teresa came up to hold her
horns, and I had begun to milk her, but in
lesa than a minute she upset me, stool and
all, and took to her heels."
During breakfast Garibaldi continued to
talk to bis children about his favorite ani-
mals, and he exhorted them to be tender and
unselfish in their treatment of all creatures,
with great warmth and intelligence.—e
Youth's Companion.
Country Women Who Shop in
Town.
Nearly every woman who lives in the
country goes more less to town, and the ma-
jority have considerable regard for their
appearance when they get there. t
She who lives some miles away, and must
travel ina baggy, soon discovers that such
trips are hard on her good dresses. Now,
one would think that the young women of
average intelligence would soon try to pro-
vide herself a suitable shopping dress. But
does she? For twelve years I have been
noticing this point closely, and my oppor-
tunities have been most excellent for arriv-
ing at a conclusion in this matter, which, in
my judgment, is a subject well worthy of
consideration.
And let me tell you that our sex shows
reckless extravagance and bad taste. I have
oftened noticed fairly good silk dresses and
excellent cashmere ones worn by women
who traveled civet miles of rough and muddy
country roads for a few hours shopping in
town. Usually,such dresses were a few sea-
sons behind the style, and so were notice-
ably inappropriate for such excursions-, be-
sides being a sinful waste.
Why -don't the many, as well as the very
few,wha live in the country (and it is a de-
lightful place to reside) dresa saitably when
they go ta town? A neat plain dress, if
ever so inexpensive and made up in the pre-
vailing style, with a becoming walking hat
and neat gloves and shoes, betokens a lady
far more than costlier clothes that do not
harmonize.
Women in the country usually have too
many dretses and too few hate, And their
clothes are always getting out of style on
their hands because they have too many.
Better to get a servie.eable dress for shopping,
and wear it right along while it 'este, and
thus be in estyle and save so ranch making
over of dresses.
Few women look well in black or light
grey, and some shades of brown are trying.
Bright colors are not for the average woman
who goea little in fashionable company, to
sacia's, dinners, etc., while quiet colors are
her, that she may rival in taste and ele-
gant simplicity her gayer sisters.—Farm and
Fireside.
Passing Things on.
The old sa,ying is, " Keep a thing seven
yeers and you will find a use for it;" but
there are limits in the keeping of things be-
yond which it is not well to go. On this
point the American Cultivator has a few
suggestion', worth noting:
The most pernicious hithit in the world is
the habit of saving every article, scrap,
piece and bit of stuff in general, witla the
feeling that sometime, somewhere and sorne-
how it may be of use. By virtue of fidelity
to this undefined convictiondrawers and
attics and closets become filled with old
rubbish and accumulations, treish and stuff
that are of no earthly use to a human being;
that attract moths and mice; And all the do-
mestic pests that are a burden, and weariness
to handle and sert over eery now and
then, and are, indeed. simply worse thsn
useless.
The true way is to apportion. ; The mo-
ment a certain thing is unfit for • a specific
use let it be given to the person who can
use it. There are always to be found peo-
ple who have the time and patience to mend,
make over, repair, and who nonst make this
time and handicraft serve in lien of money;
and to those personal should. go all Ruch -
wares. For people whose tinne has a value
beyond that of repairing and refitting, it is
worse than folly for them to waste it in
such a way. Where life is on a fairly well-
to-do scale, it is always better to buy new
and give the old to those to whom it may be
of service while it is yet good enough to be
of service.
To hoard things against a possible time of
their being wanted is idle. The time will
never come. Fabrics go out of fashion, or
they are cut in a way to rn&14e changes im-
possible, or they cannot be natched with
new material, or they are not 4vorth putting
with new material. • The sane truths ap-
,
ply more or less to all helmet. old articles.
It is idle and useless to store hem. Pass-
ing things on is the law of life.

THE PLEASURE OF ,DROWNING.
Described by a Woman Whp Attempted
to Commit Sine+.
"To prevent, any person from interfering
with my design I jumped into the river late
in the afternoon last Friday. No one ap-
peared to be about at the time. When I
struck the water I immediately sank, going
down and down, and yet being ca,rried.for-
ward until I thought I would never again
arise. A sound roared through my head,
it seemed to me it Would burst. I opened
my mouth and attempted to breathe, tieing
unable to endure the pressure longer, but
the water rushed in and I closed my
mouth. I was again compelled to open
it. More water entered. The feeling was
horrible.
"Just when I thought all was over I
_reached the surface of the water about 50
feet from the shore and 100 feet from where
I had jumped in. Near by was a steamboat
on which stood a man with a long pole with
an iron hook on the end. It took only a
second to see those things, and, in fact,
I had juzt time to get one breath when I
again Rank with my mouth open. My pant
life flashed before Me, and I was again a
child. The picture of my father and
mother stood out in bold relief. I reached
out my hand to them. The roaring of the
water sounded like the sweetest of music.
Suddenly I saw light and thought I was in
Paradise. A large green field covered with
roses and other flowers, whosb fragrance I
could smell, came in view. I felt as if I
was being borne up by some winged mes-
senger whom I could not see, hut whose
presence I could feel.
"I remembered nothing more until I felt
a rough jerk. MY rescuer had succeeded
in fastening the boathook in , my clothing.
As my body was being pulled from out of
the water the pictitre changed; instead of
Paradise, the place in which the devil
dwells,'With all its fires, and swarming
with hideous, red -dressed creatures and
other things presented themselves in my
mind, only to again quickly disappear and
leave me in darknees. When I came to I
was surprised to learn I had been unconsci-
ous. Every muscle in my body pained me,
but my brain was perfectly clear. Drown-
ing after the first stages are past is pleas-
ant. --8t. Louis Republic.
The Seven Bibles of the World,
The seven Bibles of the world are the
Koran of the Mohammedans, the Tri-
Pitikes of the Buddhists the Five Kings
of the Chinese, the Three Vedas of the
Hindoos, the Zenda.vesta of the Persians,
the Eddas of the Scandinavians and the
Bible of,the Christians. The Eddas is the
most reciant and cannot really be called
more than a semi -sacred work. It was
given to the world some time during the
fourteenth century of our era.
The Koran is the next moat ancient, dat-
ing from about the seventh century, A.D.
It is composed of sublime thoughts from
both the old and new testaments, with
frequent, almost literal, quotations from
the Talmud. The Buddhist's Tri-Pitikes
were composed in the sixth century before
Christ. Its teachings are pure and sub-
lime; its aspiration lofty and extreme.
The word "king," as used in connection
with the sacred work of the Chinese, simp-
ly means "web of cloth." From this it is
presumed that they were originally written
on fine rolls of cloth.
The Vedas are the most ancient works in
the language ot the Hindoos, but, they do
not, according to the best commentaries,
ante -date the twelfth century before the
opening of the Christian era. The Zenda•
vesta of the Persians contains the sayings
of Zoroaster, who lived and worked in the
twelfth century BX).—Chicago Herald.
Auld Lang Syne.
It singeth low in every heart,
We hear it each and all,— -
A song of those who answered not
However we may call.
They thron,g the silence of the breast,
We see them as of yore—
The kind, the brave, the true, the sweet,
Who walk with us no more.
'Tis hard to take the burden up
When these have laid it down.
They brightened all the joy oftfe,
They softened every frown.
But ol3, 'tis good to think of them
When .we are troubled sore :
Thanks be to God that such have been,
Although they be no more.
Mote homelike seems the vast unknown
Since they have entered' there.
To follow them Were not so hard,
Whatever they rnay fare.
They cannot be where God is not,
On any sea or shore,
What'er betides, thy love abides
Our God forever more.

Importance of Trifles.
Many failures in lifi are best illustrated
by futile attempts to thread a needle. It
seems easy enough, but unless one's eye-
sight is extra sharp a fine film of thread will
extend beyond its visible point, and as this
goes one side or the other of the eye the
thread. is turned away. It is only by for-
getting what at first glance seems to be the
End of the thread, and looking at the fine
point in advance that it can be put through.
Just so it• in life. Trifling mistakes made
ii
early give ent away from the true course
that it is d to overcome, and impossible
to do except by beginning anew. On the_other
hand, if at first due care is taken to watoh
the end nf the filament it becomes much
easier to follow it with the thread through
the eye. In life this means that attending
to the small trifles that form character in
youth is the best preparation for success in
later years.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY.
"This is the best medicine I ever took in my life," said a customer this
week pointing to a bottle of Mandrake Blood Builder standing on our show
ease. I had been troubled with dyspepsia for over two years, suffering agoniz-
ing pain, and dreading meal time to come, because I knew the terrible pain I
would suffer if I ate anything. I hacil tried everything I could hear of with
no benefit whatever, and even when you asked me to try Mandrake Blood
Builder, it was with a doubting heart I took it, and from the first few doses
I got so much relief that I was encouraged to keep on at it, and now, after
using only one bottle, I feel that I have been permanently relieved, and the
pain and distress has all gone. I cannot express my pleasure in being able to
enjoy life again. 1 can eat anything, fancy now; even pork is digested
naturally, and not the least sympton of my old trouble remains.,
This remedy can be had at
