jacoresting on his thin, paleface, little fell asleep We straightened his weary limbs, folded his hand as he had folded them in prayer many a time, iurnod him on his side so lie might rest more comfortably and laid him in tho little rosewood cask et, with its white satin pillow. There ho lies now, with the tiny white rose buds Just touching his white cheek. No moro pain fur him, no moro restless tossing to and fro, no more plaintive moans. He has escaped all sorrow, sadness and heartaches. For him life has no weary waiting, no sad failures, no dark re morse, lie is sleeping.

Dead? Oh, no! not dead with that sweet smile on his face! Not dead with that look of peace on his fo!dod hands! No, no! the marble whiteness of those little cheeks is transient, he is onlv sleeping. Hush! tread softly, speak low, do not waken him yet, ho was so tired.

Yes, to morrow, cotno up with the friends and bid him good-bye. To-mor-row the minister will come and pray with ut, and we will sing of heaven and the angels. Then togetner we'll go op the winding path to the hillside, There, under the dark mosses and drifting leaves we'll lay our littlo one to rest. In the spring, the violets and the roses will bud over nls grave, and then we'll plaoe a white stone at his head and writo upon it. "Little Frankie sleeps here."

LEGS. 5

Bow-legs and knock-knees are among the common deformities of humanity and wise mothers assert that the crooVednosi in either caso arises from tho afflicted one having been put upon his or hor foot too early In babyhood. But a Massachusetts physician wh* has watohod lor tho true cuuse, thinks differently. He attributes the first mentioned dlstor tlon to a habit some youngsters delight in of rubbing tho solo of one foot against that of the other somo will go to j-leep •with their soles pn ased together. They nppoar to enjoy (lie contact only when the feet are naked they do not attompt to make it when thev are socked or slippered. So the remedy is obvious", keep tho baby's sole covered. Knock knees the dort* aserlbos to a different child :ish habit, that of sleeping on his side) with one knee tucked Into the hollow behind tho other, lie has found that where one leg has been bowed inward mora than another, the patient has always slept on one side, and the upper :utemlx»r has been that which has wen

most deformed. Here the preventive is to pad the In tides of the knees so as to •ikoep them apart, and let the limbs grow freely their own way. All of which is ronunoned to mothers Mho desire the )hyslotl uprightness of their progeny.

OSE MOMENT WITH HER BOY.

I saw her fake a golden ringlet and iwlne It over her fingers, press to her cheek. It touched her lips. Tears dropped upon that golden treasar® no words were spoken. She wrapjwl it vnrefully, laid it away in its little casket. Her eves were brighter, Iwrstep firmer, jher speech more cheery, as she took up Mtgain the duties and burdens of life. It a» ber boy's. He went home years, feary years since. 8he, his mother, is nearer to-day than ever before. Absence tax strengthened mother's love, and tith joy she hasteUi onward to that day.

ASLEEP.

Opon tho door softly, tread gently apeak low, for littlo Frankie has gone to sleep. Jle was ao tired, you know. Tired with tossing to and fro on the lever haunted bed, tired of lighting the hard aches and p&ina, tired even of trying to be patient.

We watched him very tenderly, we dampened his poor littlo aching head, smoothed the hard pillow, told hitn stories about Jesus and tried to soothe hfhi and help him to bear the pain Bat it was very bard to bear, and very vory often ho would look up into our faces and wistfully say, "Oh dear! Frankie so tired."

Day after day, ni$ht after night, wo hung over his bed striving by every art known to us to drive away the fever demon, and give our darling relief.

Hut tho little cheeks grew rodder and hotter each day, the little hand grew more parched and restless, and the plaintive voice grow low and faint until at lafc ho could only whisper the words,

Mamma, Frankie so tired." List night, just as the last rays of the autumn

COOKING EGGS.

A lady contributor to the Prairie Farming gives these three ways of cooking eggs:

First course, eggs boiled with tho shell on, iust three minutes 110 more or less I didn't put them into a pan of cold water, and set them on the stove for three minutes, but into boiling water. Do they suit? I always like topleaso when I cook.

Second course, boiled after the newspaper plan dropped into a two quart pail of boiling water, putting on tho cover, and set off from tfie fire for fifteen minutes. It is claimed, that this is the best way, cooking them evenly throughout. Try them tho proof of tho pudding is the eating.

Third course, poached eggs. These were dropped from the shell, into just enough boiling water to cover them, as soon as the whites were cooked, taken out with a perforated skimmer ntoa hot dish with a little melted butter. You will all agree, I know, that this is the most delicate way of cooking an egg, as all tho strong taste escapes in the boiling water.

THE FRENCH WAYS. The Fronch acquire their art of providing and cooking from oxatnple aHd habit. The skill is handed down from one generation to another, each generation adding its own improvements. Among the professional cooks there exists a marvelous skill of combination and change. They cook eggs in one hundred and twelve different ways: they have moro than threo hundred sorts of puddings and sweetmeats, fifty methods of cooking beef and mutton, ighty of fowls. Among tho rich classes, the same dishes are not used oftoner than once in three or four weeks, so great is the variety. One would suppose their dishes would disorder the stomach, but dyspepsia is a rare disease

Franc#. Altogether, the French are an extraordinary people, and when thoir habits and methods of living are understood, we cease to wonder at their health and great weath.—[Journal of hemistry.

HOW TO CLEAN A CLOCK

An English writer gives tho following directions for cleaning clocks, which suit all metal clocks, and the larger and coarser they are the better: Dip a feather into common parafllno oil, such as is used for lamps, and touch up all the oily places of the clock, especially axles and holoa then let tho clock stand fbw hours, give more rarafllne, and touch ofiener if you think It Is bolter for it. Afterward strew strong washing powder among the wheels, etc., anil plunjfe the clock into a strong solution of the same In boiling water. I/jt It lie therein till the water gets cool enough to place your bands Yn, when, with a tooth brush rnbbed with soap, wash out the dirt from the works. Afterward olease completely from all trace of soap and powder In plenty of w*rm water, and the operation ts complete, the clock not having required to be taken assun* der at all. Many an old clock could be cleaned by this method, which If taken asunder, even by skilled hands, would never tick again, owing to fresh portions of wheels being placed In contact.

A ct.KttfiYMAN lately told his congregation that he and his wife always take tarns In indulging in bad temper.* When one gets heated and out of sorts the other is especially cheerful and kind, and after the fit has worn off tho other IndulgCs in a bad mood. It Is a standing rule to take turns tn this matter, ana never to allow more than one of the household at a time to say disagreeable thing*. If any two happen to be taken at the aqtne moment, they cast lots and decide which has toe preference, and the one who lows has the next torn. This arrangement Is said to work well, because It saves thai exaggeration of b.vl temper which la the result of over indulgence. Besides, It la noticed that the spasms are of shorter duration than under ordinary clrcowafatnoea.

Journal of Health thus sums

up some of the uses of salt: It will cure sick headache, make creain freeze, make the butter come, take ink fttalns out of cloth of any kind, kill wens, kill worms, make tho grownd cool so it is more congenial to celery, cabbago, etc. It will easo the itching pain caused by irritatingsklu diseases, cure hives, itch, otc. It will produce vomiting or stop it, as you hke, and many other things too numerous to mention. All pure salt will do this, to a certain degree, but sea salt is the most effectual in its action.

An eminent physician of Chicago says he cures ninetynine out of every one hundred cases of scarlet fever by giving the patient warm lemonade with gum arabic dissolved in it. A cloth rung out in hot water and laid upon the stomach should bo removed as rapidly as it becomes cool. Dvspopsia is cured by muscular exorcise, voluntary or invwluntary, and cannot be cured in any other way, because nothing can create or collect gastric juice except exercise it is a product of tho human machine. Nature only can make it.
