"Tommy, YOU have disobeyed me, arid I am going to punish you, so walk right into this dark closet!" The voice was cold and stern, and the manner was equally unyielding. Tommy, crying and struggling with all his might, was pushed and dragged into the closet, which was certainly dark enough for all practical purposes, and the key was tume I in the lock. .'•Mamma, it's so dark! I'm afraid, rlcase let me out!" pleaded the ab­ ject Tommy. But he was not yet s ib.lued. The nuttier, stealing nois- lesslv up to the dobr, groaned in, a most horrible manner, and rattled a piece of chain. ;'Ob, mamma," shrlCced the frightened child, "please let me out! 1*11 never bo bad any more!" Then the door qras opened and the little prisoner came out, white-faced and wild-eyed. J This was Tommy's flrsWesson. "Here, Tommy, dear; take this nice medicine the doctor left for you. Conic, now, open your mouth, pet, and take your good medicine." "I thought you said it was good!" shrieked Tommy, when he had gulped down the nauseous mixture. "So it is, dear--good for sick bqys!" was the calm reply, as the mother put away the spoon and bottle. That was Tommy's second lesson. Tomniy had been standing at the gate fur more than an hour, watching for bis/mother. The day was cold and tiie wind blew upon him mercilessly, but still he waited, his eager little face pressed agaipst the bars of the gate. At last he saw h(>r coming, away down the street, and then how he went rushing out to meet her, his cheeks glowing and his eyes shining. "Give it to Hfe, mamma! Oh, give it to <116," he cried, holding up both hands. '•Crive you what, Tommy?" asked the mother, pushing past him. "Why, my candy, mamma! The candy you promised to get me." "I forgot it, Tommy. You'll have to-do without this evening." "But, mamma, you promised it," •cried Tommy, in the micst of copious tears, as though that was reason enough. "But didn't you hear me say I for­ got it?" asked the mbther, as though that, also, were reason enough. And then Tommy was senl to bed. supper- less because he cried. There were several lessons for Tommy in this--I really can not tell how many. \ "Mary," said Tommy's father one day in a grieved voice, "how does it come that Tommy is growing to be such a coward? I wanted to send him up-stairs after my slippers last night, and nothing could induce him to go because it was dark. The idea of a boy being afraid of the dark! He's going to be a perfect milksop--and I was so anxious for him to be a fear­ less, manly boy. And then the mother said she couldn't account for it any way in the world. She was sure there had never been any cowardice in her family. She had never dreamed <>f such a thing as being afraid in the dark when , she was a child, and it was a' mystery to her how Tommy got such notions into his head. "Mary,"said Tommy's father again, a few days later, "twice lately I have caught Tommy in a deliberate lie, and I have suspected him of lying half a dozen times in as many days. Now, lying is one thing I can't positively stand. I have tried so hard to teach the boy to be perfectly frank and honest and to tell the truth at what­ ever risk." And Tommy's mother said that she really couldn't understand it, that Tommy's training had been of the most careful kind; but she thought Tommy must have learned to tell falsehoods from that last servant- girl. As for herself, she had never told a lie in her life. Whereupon Tommy was called up and was lectured and talked to and talked at until his brain was in a whirl. He did not say anything in his own defense. He micht have said a great deal, but he was no ora­ tor, and besides he did not understand the whole situation himself. Even if he did understand it all it would not have been very polite, would it, for Tommy to say that his first les­ sons in cowardice, and meanness, and selfishness, and falsehood, and deceit, were taught him by his mother? The above is merely a little series of ^pictures, says a writer in the St. Louis Globe Democrat. They were not taken with a kodak, but the camera was a very good one and has taken a vast number of such pictures. Have you ever seen anything like them? A Tarrlblt 'Experlmfd, Rev. IX J. Burrell,* the pastor of Westminister Church, recently took a long railroad journey, and, as luck would have it, was the occupant of a sleeping car together with the mem­ bers of a comic opera company. One evening, as a preclude to his sermon, he told his congreation of the horrors of his trip-in graphic language,which must have made the good sisters and brethren gasp for breath afc-"thc thought of their beloved pastor being all alone in a car in which the giddy actors and actresses whiled away the time by singing the popular songs of Wbe day, and gave neither him nor theirselves time for pious meditation. "Lord Bacon," said Mr. Burrell, "in his essay on 'Friendship,' says that a crowd is not company.' This was most forcibly brought home to m short time since, when I was fo to make a journey to San Fran in company with a comic opera pany. Closer quartet cannot well be imagined than those of a Pullman car, and I was only non-professional there. At first there was a little re­ straint evident, but that soon wore off and they were their own sweet selves. There are men who find ser­ mons in stones, but I defy them to find any good in , these. There were twelve men and as many, alleged 'ladies. Ail night, when wakeful man should have been occupied with solemn meditation, the air resounded with the indelicate songs of 'Glrofle ;Girofla,' still more indelicate stories told by both sexes, the rattle of glasses and the popping of corks, and torn the smoking-room was heard the rat­ tle of ivory chips and demands 'two' Ot-pjfee' ^ flgrs, <©ne would say, was as tunitv to deliver ;i horn so. It was a glorious o; >portuuWt*£fcr 1ng quiet. To east a hfciiw J**"* them would be to cast before swine. Could a more horriWe .doom be devised for these artists than to.ho suddenly transported to the raidsf (J bright spirits singing Holy! Holy! Holy! Lord, God Almighty! Still, there are those who think there Is but one place to which all will finally come. They would feel as much out of place in Heaven as would the mem­ bers of our presbytery drinking beer, playing poker and "singing KJirofie Girofla.' And is there any less dan­ ger of contamination by going to see these people on the stage? No, there is even more, for on the stage there is ah opportunity for an even more shameless display of indelicacy. I do not mean to say that there are no good people on the stage. Far from it; for I know some of them myself whose lives are as pure as those of any member of this congregation. But these very people are the first to de­ nounce the widespread impurity of their professional brothers and sisters."--St. Paul Globe. m An Obulnate beg. A Massachusetts gentleman has a large dog, a cross between an English mastiff and a St. Bernard, which is very fond of killing cats. Indeed, it is practically impossible to keep a cat at the stable, so fond is Karl of de­ stroying them. He has been whiDped and chained up, but though in gen­ eral he is well behaved, he cannot^in this respect l>e brought to reason. Whenever K&rl kills a cat, which happens every week or two. the groom is in the habit of digging a grave, and then making the dog bring the body of poor puss to the spot. Karl takes the body of his victim to the place, which has now become quite a popu­ lous cemetery, and while the grave is beingr?lug he lies beside it, licking the cat all over as if, preparing her for burial. > When the grave ls ready, heinvari- bly gives puss a vigorous nip on the spine, as if to make sure that she is really finished, and then taking her up by the back of the neck, he grave­ ly drops her into the hole prepared for her. When all this is overlie follows the groom to the stable to be whipped, lie knows what is coming, and evi­ dently accepts it. fis a necessary part of the process of killing a cat; but it does not in the least prevent him from disposing of the next pussy which is brought to the stables. Driving on MnUdy Jtoad* A writer in the Providence Tele­ gram undertakes to show how a wagon may be kept comparatively clean when driving over a muddy road. Accord­ ing to him this result depends upon maintaining just the right speed, the golden mean, as it were. If the horse is driven at a walk, say about three miles an hour, the mud which adheres to the rim of the wheel will be carried up by it as it revolves. As it gets to the top its weight will cause it to fall, spatter­ ing the spokes and^the hub. If the horse is going six or seven miles an hour, the rapid revolution of the \Vheels .will send the mud fly­ ing, and all parts of the vehicle will receive a copious plastering. But now, if a gifit of four and a half or five miles an hour be taken, the mud carried up from the ground will neitner drop nor be thrown off, and the Consequence will be that with the exception or the rim of the wheels the carriage will come to the end of the journey comparatively clean. Everything depends upon striking just the right gait and maintain­ ing i Continental Currency. 'Along in the latter part of the last century the Continental money issued to the extent of $240,000,000 had been sinking out of sight. Just befpre the final collapse a desperate effort was made to hold up the currency, but notwithstanding all that the govern­ ment, aided by the leadiug men of that period, could do, a dozen egg? spld for $5,000 in Continental paper money, and a silk hat of the period, Which would be worth about $7, cost ail40,000 in Continental currency. The word was burned into the lan­ guage, and then, as now, the utter worthlessness of a thing was conveyed by the expression, "It is not worth a (continental." - THERE'S no disgrace In being poor. Tbe thing is to keep quiet and not let your neighbors know anything The Ocean Xo linger Trarlcnli*. We speak of the ocean as "track- less." It is so no longer. If two vessels sail rroni New York for Cal­ cutta, they will, if intelligently navi­ gated, follow so nearly the same course, that their paths, if plotted on a chart, will hardly diverge by fifty miles at any point. The same is true of every other route. Let us consider the case of a vessel bound to New York from Liverpool. Her captain might, if prepared for a constant bat- tie agains'ts adverse winds and cur­ rents and winter gales, select a route not very different from that followed by ocean steamers .between those ports. Otherwise he would follow the southern route laid down by the Sailing Directors: and after beating to the westward a few hundred miles to make sure of clearing the coast of Spain, would shape course to the southward, passing as far west of Modeira, as the westerly wind of these latitudes will permit. Between Madeira and the Canaries, but a few hundred miles to the westward of both, he would fan his way across the baffling "Calms of Cancer," and pick up the northeast Trades. With these astern and freshening every mile, he would sweep down to the South and West, and when well over toward the West Indies, haul up to the north­ ward Bermuda. Here he would have to work again across the Calms of Cancer, and then, with the uncertain, btit probably westerly winds of our Atlauta coast, and with the Gulf Stream in his favor, he would stand on and make his port, having sailed forty-five hundred miles between two ports, less than 3,000 miles apart, but with winds and current almost uniformly favorable.and with fine and bracing weather.--Goldtjiwaite's Geo­ graphical Magazine. WONDERFUL W ORLDS O FLIGHT. tome of the Marvelous Thing* JKevaaled by the Talaoeopn, J J the increased power of telescopes, number of stars within our ken has been increased from 2,000, the number which may be seen in both hemispheres by the naked eve, to' probably about 80.000,000. The star nearest to the earth, a Centauri, is about 275,000 times as far from us as the sun is, and Sirius is about twice as far away as that; if, however, we could view these bodies at an equal distance, a Centauri would appear nearly twice a^ bright as our sun, and Sirius forty times as bright. Star sixty-one, Cygni, has a velocity of not less than thirty miles a second, or 3,000,000 miles a day. So far,then, we find that the stars are at different distances; that they are of different sizes, and that, instead of being fixed, they are all in movement. Such bodies are masses of glowing gas, the materials of which are, for the most part, precisely the same as those of which our earth is built up, the great difference between such stars and the earth at the present time being that they are hot while the earth is cold. The sun is so hot at present that its outer atmosphere, instead of being composed of cool oxygen and nitrogen and water vapor, as happens with our own, consists of brightly shining hy­ drogen gas and iron vapor chiefly. The iron is not solid .and it is not molten, but exists as iron stejim it, perhaps, a distance of 200,000 miles above the shining orb that we see and call the suh. This, I think, may be taken as a fair indication that the sun is a very hot body, especially when we remember that, as its center is approached, the temperature must always increase. 1 have said this much about the sun, i« "iiuse if is very natural to ask whether all stars are like the sun. It used to be thought that they were, but I, for one, do not think that this is so. When we come to examine vhe bodies which shine in the sky, those dim patches of gray light called nebu­ la*, as well as many of the stars them­ selves, the prism tells us that the light which they send to us is very different from the light sent to us by the sun and by other stars, the light of which is exactly like sunlight. A great deal of work recently done shows that probably many stars, in­ stead of being like the sun, a.re .built up, as the cometa are, of enormous clouds or swarms of little bodies,some of them, perhaps, no bigger than grains of dust,the different quantities and qualities of heat given out de­ pending upon the motions of these little particles and the average dis­ tance between them. So, when we have a great many of these little masses closely packed to­ gether and moving rapidly, they will have an opportunity to strike one an­ other and thus produce light and heat in a greater degree t han can happen in those other so-called "stars," where the dust is sparser aqd the motion less rapid. As soon a$ the supply of heat ceases, the mass begins«to cool. Our sun is such a cooling mass. The coolinggoes on until at last a body such as our own earth is* formed. This is why it is that the chemical composition of the sun and eartn are so similar. If this is what really happens, we can easily explain the colors of all the stars. Each stage of heat' in a star has its own special color. It is true that sometimes very nearly the same color is produced at two different stages of heat; but aside fropi this, we know that very white stars are at the condition of their greatest heat, and that yellow stars are cooler, though some are old, some young; and that very red, butespecially blood-red start? are tottering on the verge of invisibil­ ity, having run through all their changes.--Great Divide. Some Canvas gpongifc "Some of the most beautiful things that live in the ocean are the sponges of the great depths, which have often very curious and interesting forms," said a naturalist to a Washington Star reporter. "Not least remarka­ ble are the so-called 'sea-nests,'which are in the form of spheres or some­ times egg-shaped. The outer coat of one of these specimens is a compli­ cated network over whicli a delicate membrane is spread. iTn^ornamental frill adorns the upper part while the lower portion throws out a maze of glossy filaments like fine white hairs. These hairs penetrate the semi-fluid mud in every direction, thus holding the sponge in its place, while a con­ tinuous current of water is drawn by waving 'cilia' through all parts of the mass, passing out by a hole at the top. In this manner the animal absorbs whatever food may be afloat. ^Another singular sponge is the •glass rope,' which sends down into the mud a coiled wisp of filaments as thick as a knitting needle. The lat­ ter opens out into a lirush, fixing the creature in place after the manner of a screw pile. Still another remarka­ ble sponge is found in deep water off the Loffodon Islands. It spreads out into a thin circular cake, surrounded by a fringe of what looks like a fringe of white floss silk. Yet another curi­ osity is the 'cupectella' sponge of the Philippines, which lives imbedded to its lid in the mud and supported by a lovely frill." Mirrors ot Wood. In Germany wood with a mirror polish is coming into use for orna­ mental purposes in place of metal. The wood is first submitted to a bath of caustic alkali for two or three days at a temperature of about 175 degrees Fahrenheit, then dipped into hydro- sulphate of calcium for twenty-four to thirtj'-nine hours, after which a concentrated solutionJ of sulphur is added. -After another dip in an acetate of lead solution at about 100 degrees, a shining metallic surface is given by polishing when dry with lead, tin or zinc. y Havana Hack man.

The Care «r a Furnace Fire. " The furnace fire should be shaken down and raked perfoct'y clear in the morning. A few shovelfuls of coal should be put on and a 1 the draughts opened, writes Maria Parloa in her de­ partment in the Ladies' Home Journal. The ashes should<then be taken up. As soon as the coal begins to burn well and the fire looks clear at tho bottom, put In enough coal to come almost to the top of the fiie-pot. Keep the draughts open until all the gas has burned off; then close them, and later, if the lire bo too hot, open the checks. Except in ex­ tremely cold weather this is all the at­ tention that ought to be necessary through tho day. The fire mu£t be raked down and fresh coal or cinders put on in the evenlug, bu|^ small amo.int of coal will answer fdr the night, unless the draughts have been open the greater part of tbo day. On an extremely cold day it may be necessary to have the draughts open a ^art of the time and some coal put on at noon. All the clinkers should be removed when the fire is raked down in the morn­ ing. The water pan should be replen­ ished once a day. If the furnace fire be allowed to burn to a white heat it will be ruined for that day unless more coal bo put on a little later. The cold-air boxes must admit eno igh air to drive the hot air through the hopse. ^ Heating stoves and open grates are to be mandged as far as possible the same as a furnace. With tho stove there is no trouble, there being plenty of checks and draughts. How's This?

Hull recently conducted some experiments with ice cream freezers, and he f^nds that galvanic action takes place, which results in the Introduction of poisonous salts of copper and zinc into the cream It appears that the free er and the piddle are generally made of dissimilar metals, and the cream, especially if mixed with fruits or other acid, or even saline substances, forms an electrolyte, which naturally comp'etes the necessary conditions for galvanic action. With galvanic action there is, of course, chemical action, re­ sulting in the formatio.'t of salts of zinc and copper, which become mixed with the cream. Dr. Hull has probably dis­ covered the cause of many mysterious cases of poisoning which have followed the consumption bf ice cream. The remedy, however, seems very simple; If the freezer and the mixer were made of the same metal no galvanic action could take place.--Iron.^ „ lbs Only (hie Kver Printed--Can taVIMi the Wordr There Is a 3-Inch display advertisement In this .paper this week which has no two words alike except one word.

A village was harrassed ly a midnight robber whom no one conld de­ tect, so an ingenious inhabitant pro­ posed that each villager should write the name of the man he suspected on a slip of paper and put it in a ballot box. On the votes being taken there were fifteen for oho man and the rest were blanks. The robber was so astonished at the proceedinvs that he actually con­ fessed his identity.

TIIE ANARCHISTS. ; The United States Supreme Court has postponed until the second Mon­ day In January the hearing of the cases of Fielding and Schwab, the Chi­ cago anarchists who are now iil/prison in Joliet for their participation in the Haymarket massacre. These men were filled with an unutterable longing. If they had taken KEID'S GERMAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE the mists that clouded their brains would have been dispersed. They would have found that the evils of which they complained were largely the result of ill-health. They would have gone to work to bet­ ter their own condition and those of othets by encouraging habits of in- 6umy and thrift. This they could, have done by taking REID'S GERMAN. COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE, and thus banishing disease from their followers. This great remedy contains no poison* but it is the best thing for all lung and throat troubles on the market. It is a remedy that is the particular and special friend of the poor man, for it will cure his wife and children of half the troubles that afflict them without the aid of the doctor, pet it of your druggist.
