The chore-boy, weary and footsore from his round of duties, should be cheered by praise if his work is praise- worthy. To withhold money from a credi- tor when due is no more reprehensible than to withhold approbation of tiie merits of a person, especiaUy of ajchild. Parents are often unjust about the owner- ship of pet animals in which their children have taken great delight. The pet lamb be- loi^s to the little boy he laised it and it is his, and the Jersey heifer is his also, but tiiey are his only in name. One is sold to the butcher the other driven off as a hit;h- prioed cow without even saying, " By your leave, my lad." The money is pocketed by tiie father. You may reason with the child, tell him that he is a minor, that everything at home belongs to his father, it costs a great deal to luring up boys etc., but you cannot efface his strong sense of injustice. He will re- member this experience as long as he lives and tell it over and over. You often hear men telling of their hard times when they were boys. One remarked to me that he would rather follow his son to the g^ave than have him go through what he did in his younger days. And yet his father was esteemed a good Christian man, living in all the proprieties, but he did not compre- hend the rights of children â€" the boy nature â€" the needs of the rising generation. " I eould well endure the hard work," con- tinued he, "and the petty trials at home had I only a chance at school. I grew up in compsirative ignorance, not of books merely, but of life and all its ways, and at twenty- one I went out to face its keen re- sponsibilities, to meet its sharp intellectual force, to participate in its amenities and fill an honorable place. Ob, what blunders I made, what mortification I endured, how often I wished I had never been born. It matters not that I have done well since, that prosperity and blessing have attended me, I still feel that I was defrauded in my boyhood." Bringing Up Children Eationally. It is as natural to a child to be happy as it is a fish to swim. But for this they need a certain amcunt of " letting alobe." It is a great mistake for parents to hamper their children with foolish restriction. We pity the little B's, our next-door neighbor's children, from the bottom of our heart. There is a picket fence in front of the house, and they are scarcely allowed to go near it, lest they should climb and hurt themselves. They can not olimb a tree for the same rea- BOii. Thep may not skate or swim, o have a gun. The consequence of this training is that their parents have made cowards of them all, with the exception of little Bessie, who is the most daring little mischief that ever wore a sun bonnet, and she has learned to be deceitful and plays all her mad pranks well out of sight of her parents' eyes. We caught her the other day walking the rail- ing of a bridge that crossed the track of a rauroad about a hundred feet below. The railing was not a foot wide, and she triumph- ]y told us that she had walked it while the train was passing under. It was enough to make one shudder. Don't fancy your boy is made of glass. Grant a reasonable request, and let him feel that when you refuse, it is for his own good. Between the Jellybys and the Gradgriuds of life, children have a hard time of it. The youngest child needs some sort of agreeable gcupation, and a certain amount of physi- cal freedom. There is nothing more pain- ful to young people than to feel that life is one dull routine, and that " nothing ever happens," as we once heard a disconsolate lad remark. Home Decoration. The rose pillow now takes the place of the pine needle bag for making a perfumed head rest. Lace is now painted with water colors and very effective results are produced. The paint is mixed with gum arable or mucilage before it is used for this purpose. In the decoration of the table a partiality for yellow and white is noticeable, and gold banded china and threads of lemon color in borders of the damask are seen. The low old-fashioned sofa, which of late years has dropped oat of style, begins to be seen in all comfortable rooms its broad arms and high back make it a restful piece of fumitiure. A very handscmc portiere and the result of much time and patient work was made of bits of silks, sewn together in long strips and then interwoven checkerboard fashion. The result was a rich, desirable curtain, such u could not be easily duplicated. A scrap jar should be in txery room. We knew of a lady who was visiting an elegantly furnished house, and complained that she carried an orange peel all day in her pocket, because there was no stove, or open fireplace, nor any other place to put it.

A writer In the Lewiston, Mo., Jowrwd speakins; of Mrs. Harriet Beeoher Stowe and her Florida home, says i The style of the interior is neither literary, religious, artistic, nor rural, but a peculiar combination of all four, which is a family trait. Prominent in the study, in a 'niche between two windows, stands a picture of Henry ^Tard Beecher, so large, so strong, so life-like, that it seems as U he were the host, standing ready to entertain the guests of his sister. Many fine paintings of a semi- reli;;iou8 cast cover the walls, and by the old masters. Her book-shelves are ranged in the walls, not hanging outside them or in cases, and flowers in the greatest profusion fill every nook and comer. Blue prevades the furnishings the Venus de Milo, the Ma- donna and Child, and the Dake and Dach- ess of Argyll-keep each other mute company through the long, unbroken stillness which bespeaks the frequent absences of the gen- tle hostess, for she is a great outdoor woman and may be seen taking her walks, step by step, through the trees these beautiful morn- ings, her plain black dress covered with dandelion down, her hands filled with flow* ers, her thin, dark face, browned by con- stant exposure, framed in loose gray locks and black bonnet, neither p eacef ul or trou- bled, but waiting. The dim gray eyes light up in conversa- tion, and some sparks come from between the pale lips, now and again, that impress one with what must have been. Her man- ners have a more kindly than courteous air, and are tinted with the grace of modern as well as old-time customs. Her hearing u wonderfully acute, and her intelligence glides along side by side with that of her guests, whom she receives with the air of an old traveller hailing a young one from some foreign part â€" neither curious nor in- terested, but forbearing. " Yes, my dear, I loved to write, and be- ean very yonng. I especially liked writing short stories when I lived in Brunswick, Me. For these I used to get $15, §20, $25â€" good pay in those times. I never thouG;ht.of writ- ing a book when I commenced " Uncle Tom's Cabid." I became first roused on the subject of slavery when I lived in Cincinnati and used to see escaping slaves come over the Ohio from Kentucky. Ah, me I it thrills me even now, the sight of those poor crea- tures. Now a young girl, suggesting the lover, parent, or brother for whom her heart was breaking in bondage again the strong husband, aged father, and stalwart brother. Oh I must write a story to storp the dreadful shame I kept putting it off, dreading bringing the characters to life, till the fugitive slave law lashed me into a fury, and I commenced what I meant to be a short story like the others. But it grew and grew and grew, and came, and came, and came. I wrote, and wrote, and wrote, and I thought I never should stop. I did not plan the book as it turned out. I was only full of wrath, and the story built itself as I wrote. •• A publisher was waiting a story from me. I told him the subjectlhad undertaken. He wrote, saying, You have struck a pop- ular topic keep it short ' I wrote In reply, ' I shall stop when I get through, not be- fore.' While writing it I was fiUed with an enthusiasm|which transfused my being, knew no hindrance, no rival interest, no relief but in writing It. I had young children, was keeping house and teaching school at the time, and never worked so hard, but I had to write. Dinner had to be got, I knew. This had to be written, jtist as muchâ€" aye, and more, too 1 It was as though it was written through me, I only holding the pen, I was lifted off my feet. Satisfiea? I never thought of being satisfied. When it was done it was finished, and relief came, I never felt the same with anything I after- wards wrote, 'Dred?' Ah I yes it was on slavery, too, but it was different. ' Pog- anuc People' interested me deeply. I grew to have a deep sympathy for little girls at an age and of a disposition to be misunder- stood and ill-treated. Dolly is a fac-simile of myself as a chQd. I wrote it to help other children. " After that I wrote for money, I believe, I had felt the need and now tast«i the good of it, and I wrote on for more of it, with more or less interest or excitement. 'My Wife and I ' and We and Our Neighbors ' should be read totfether then ' The Minis- ter's Wooing,' ' Nina Crordon,' The Pearl of Orr's Island ' â€" tiiat is not good â€" but there are none of them like Unole Tom and little Eva.

For yeara phyaioiana haveraoo^-Aeda dia- tinot diaeaae reaolting from the oae « m, whioh haa been termed taoinn w taa-dnnk- era disorder. A French medioel joomal re- cently pobllahed a oontaribotion from M. Goelliot, an eminent phyndan of Beims, ua whioh a disdnot form of diaeaae ia attriboted to the use of coffee, and reodvea the name of eojfeeiam. There ia now left no room for doobt on the part of any one, that cofEse aa well aa tea ia a harmfol and pemioiooa bev- erage. The oae of either of these snbatancea is as onneceaaary aa the oae of aloholic drioka or tobacco. Chemiate have known for a generation at least, that both coffee and tea contain poiaons, which are deadly even ia imall dos- es. Their effecta upon the human ay stem are only less harmful than thoae of alcohol and tobaooo because they are need in a very diluted form. We do not hesitate to ven- ture the assertion that the health would suffer less from the use of half a pint of light wine daily than from the nse of tea and coffee as ordinarily used. A cup of strong tea contains more poiaon, and does more mischief to the vital economy, than an equal quantity of beer. Science speaks just as positively respect- ing the harmful character of tea and coffee as in relation to alcohol and tobacco. Con- sistency requires for a thorough-going tem- perance reform, the abandonmsnt of all these narcotic and stimulant poisons. Every Lower Animal His Own Doctor. Animals get rid of their parasites by using dust, mud, clay, c. Those suffering from fever restrict their diet, keep quiet, seek dark, airy places,, drink water, and sometimes plunge Into it. When a dog has lost its appetite it eats that species of grass known as dog's grass, which acts as an emetic and a purgative. Cate also eat grass. Sheep and cows, when iU, seek out certain herbs. An animal suffering from chronic rheumatism always keeps, as far as possible. In the sun. The warrior ants have regularly organizsd ambulances. Latreilie cut tbe antennae of an ant, and other ants came and covered the wounded part with a transparent fluid se- creted in their mouths. If a chimpanzee Is wounded it stops the bleeding by placing ite hand on the wound or dressing it with leaves and grass. When an animal has a wounded leg or arm hanging on it completes the amputetion by means of its teeth. A dog on being stung on the muzzle by a viper was observed to plunge lts|head re- peatedly for several days into running water. This animal eventually recovered. A terrier hurt its right eye. It remained undei a counter, avoiding light and heat, although it habitually kept close to the fire. It adopted a general treatment, rest, and abstinence from food. The local treatment consisted in licking the upper surface of the paw, which it applied to the wounded eye; again licking the paw when It became dry. Animals suffering from traumatic fever treat themselves by the continued application of cold water, which M. Delaunay considers to be more certain than any of the other me- thods. In view of these interestln? facts we are, he thinks, forced to admit that hygiene and therapeutics as proposed' by animals may, in the interest of psychology, be studied with advantege. Many pbysicians have been keen observ- ers of animals, their diseases, and the me- thods adopted by them, in their Instinct, to cure themselves, and have availed of the knowledge so brought under their observa- tion in their practice. Hog-Cholera Hams. Several years ago we noticed by compar- ing the news columns of the Chicago dalies with the daily reports of the arrivals of stock, that whenever an epidemic of hog cholera broke out in any section, shipmente of hoga from that section was at once in- creased in a very remarkable manner. This meant, to our mind, that large numbers of deceased hogs were hurried off to market so that the butcher might get the start of nature by a day or two. The following testimony of an ex-pork packer, of St. Louis, recently given before the Agricultural Com- mittee of the United States House of Repre- sentatives, confirms this suspicion In a most thorough manner â€" " W. G. Bartle, an ex-pork packer of St Louis, was on the stand, and stated that he had be«i In the pork packing business for forty years, and knew that cholera- Infected hogs were cut up and put upon the market as good meat that it was done in his busi- ness, and that It was the custom among other packers to slaughter hogs from herds where they were dying by the hundreds from cholera, and to sell the infected meat In the market. The custom, he claimed, was quite general, and that packers could not deny it. He said he had gone out of toe business because he conslderMl it dishonest and criminal. Necessary Bnles of Sleep. There is no fact more clearly established In the physiology of man than this, that the brain expends ite energies and itself duiing the hotirs of wakefulness, and that these are recuperated during sleep. If the recupera- tion does not equal the expenditure, the brain withers thia Is Insanity. Thus it is that in early English history, persons who were condemned to death by being prevent- ed from sleeping, always died raving mani- acs: thus it la, alao, that tiioae mo are starved to death- become Insane, â€" ^the brain ia not nooriahed, and tiiey cannot aleep.

A blind man died recently in Chichester Workhouse, England, who had been an in- mate of that institution for seventy years. He entered at the age of nine and pused his whole life there. A Swiss wateh manofacturer has just In- vented a wateh for the blind, on the dial of which the hours are indicated by twelve projecting pegs, one of which sinks every hour. After Frederick dies the German Empress will receive a fortune, payable by the reign- ing Emperor, of $150,000 a year, and the use of the Palace Charlottenberg and an- other palace at Potsdam. Horses and carriages can be hired cheaper in Russia than In any other civilized conntoy. The average cost per month of a private car- riage or sleigh, with one horse and coach- man. Is about $70, while a pair and carriage and sleigh both cost $1. 25. Two French ladles lately agreed upon a trial for a thousand francs to see which could talk the faster. The conteso was to endure for three hours. One pronounced 203,550 words, reading from Eugene Sue. The other pronounced 206,311, and won the prize. There seems to be little doubt that there was an Intrigue to prevent the succession of Emperor Frederick to the throne. On the death of William, Bismarck telegraphed to Frederick at San Remo that he must come to Berlin immediately, or the Prince could not answer for the consequences. A showman named Beckett made a heavy bet that a woman under sentence of death in Cardiff would eventually be henged. Upon hearing that her sentence bad been commuted to penal servitude for life Beckett took a razsr and cut his throat, and died in two hours.

At Washington, next June, a great grandson of Daniel Webster is to marry a great granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin. The youth Is \yebster Appleton Edgar, and Is a son of Mrs. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte by her first marriage. She was Miss Apple- ton, of Boston, a granddaughter of Webster, The young man graduated two years ago at Annapolis. The young girl Is the grand- daughter of the late General Emery. A respectable, industrious married wo- man named North wood, living at AmptbUl, England, who has four children, one in arms, was charged with damaging trees that grew in her cottege garden, the damage be- ing estimated at five shillings. The hus- band was out of work, and there being no fuel, the poor woman broke off branches to make a fire for her shivering children. The woman was sentenced to pay a fine of twenty-five shillings and ten shillings costs or to undergo a month's imprisonment. She was in Bedford jail for several days, and in the meantime her children collected the money to pay the fine. A pig buteher named Stubbs, In Gaws- wortb, England, in climbing a fence recent- ly, stomb'ed and fell. He remained sus- pended by his foot from a wire over the top rail, his head and shoulders in a diteh In which four feet of snow had accumulated. He managed to clear the snow from about his face, but he could not right himself, and remain^ in that position for eighteen hours of the storm. The desperate nature of his struggles was shown by the fact that he had torn away the diteh bank and rooted out the brushwood and ttirf to the distance of four or five feet around him. He was dreadfully frostbitten when discovered, and died shortly afterward from the effecte of the exposure. A curious custom Is still observed on Good Friday at Allhallowa Church, London, In obedience to the will of Peter Symondes, mercer, dated April 24, 1586. It Is as fol- lows "The parson and church wardens shall every year, upon the same Good Fri- day, divide the same raisins Into tiireescore parts In papers, and when the children of Christ's* Hospital shall come upon Good Friday aa aforesaid, then the said parson and church wurdena shall give tmto even^ child a part so appointed; and although this gU t may be thought very frivolous, yet, my mind and meaning being hidden, may, notwithstand i ng, be prnformed, praying God to make all those children happy members of this Commonwealth. Amen.' Under directions in the same will, each of the sixty boys also receives a new penny. The Papal jubilee haa been a very aatia- factory' celebration to Leo XIII. The Brussels Cbttrier states that the papal coffers are now in a better condition than for yeara rast, the Peter's pence presented to Leo XIII. on the occasion of his jobOee having amounted to 32,600,000 francs, The income from Peter's pence, which since 1870 has been the only source of zevenae left to tl.e Papacy, has since tliat time never amoonted to less than 6,000.000 franca annoally.
