Show THE No hue of flower brings to her eyes Outward glimpse of Paradise— A thousand miles and a half away— My lady is in love today — And all her heart is singing, singing, And every new south wind is winging Tidings glad from her true lover, And kisses bridge the distance over— Lips to lips and heart to heart, - A thousand miles and a half apart. —Orelia Key Bell in The Century OBJECTIONABLE PETS. Mr Perry was an old bachelor, and Miss Briggs was an old maid. He lived in the brick house on the hill, and she in the cottage opposite, and they were mortal enemies He despised her because she kept two cats and a canary, and she loathed him for his affection for a huge mastiff and an old knock kneed horse. ‘‘Why on earth the man don't try to _ get a decent horse is more than I[ can imagine!” she would say, as he plodded up tothe door ‘I believe that he is too mean and miserly to buy one.” Miss Briggs would have hardly felt pleased had she known that Mr. Perry rode back and forward :on this worn out piece of horseflesh for the purpose of an- noying her. They never spoke, but yet they man aged to keep up a perfect warfare by disagreeable manners and wrathful glances. She sat hour after hour. beneath the canary bird in the window, with her cat perched upon the sill and her knitting in ber hand, throwing.glances of scorn to the opposite side, where he, with cigar and newspaper, received and paid them back with interest. ‘ His detestable dog came over and ran through her garden, destroying all her beautiful tulips and hyacinths, and she gave him a hot bath, which sent him howling to his master, and when said master remonstrated, sent word two years they ‘“‘There! fought, and no cne could bring about peace between them. It was a pity, the neighbors all said, for Miss Briggs was a dear little soul, and there-was not.a finer man in the country than Mr. Perry. ‘Julia, my love,” said Mrs. Perkins one afternoon, as she entered the cozy parlor, ‘‘Iam going to have a party, andI want you to tea to come down and in the remain during Every one will be.there:” “Will there?” “Mr. the old. bach Perry?

Mrs. Perkins went home, and it was arranged that Miss Briggs was to spend the afternoon and remain for the party. She was a pretty little woman, and it was always a puzzle to every one why she never married. She had a round, rosy face, clear brown eyes and beautiful hair, and if she was thirty, there was not smarter woman in town. She stood before the looking glass a in her chamber, and fastened her lave collar over the neck of her dress with a plain _ gold brooch, and began to think that she looked very well. There was a bright, healthy fiush upon her cheek, umd her eyes were full of life and beauty. She walked into Mrs. Perkins’ sitting room and found her awaiting hei with a smiling face. She thought that sae must be in'a very good humor, but sald nothing, allowing the good lady to vmile as long and pleasantly as she wished. She understood it all when supper time came, and Mr. Perkins mastiff end -horse ‘‘Now, Julia, don’t be so foolish!

It isan easy matter for a child to fall or for au older person to knock them down either in play or anger. Often no account is made of a fall aside from the immediate pain, Uut in a few days, or it may be weeks, the child begins to complain of pains here and there, of being tired, of its back aching. From being active it becomes quiet, morose, irritable; nothing suits it. Don’t think the child is only cross, nor forget that fall it had upon its back: Examine the back carefully, pressing the finger on each vertebra separately. Some of them will probably be sensitive. Another way of examining is, the child being seated, press quickly, firmly down with both hands on the shoulders. If it causes any pain or even a bad feeling consult the best doctor in reach. See that the child is kept off its feet as much as possible and inareclining position. You thus take the weight off from the inflamed part of the spinal column, and possibly a few weeks of confinement in bed will enable the parts to recover without deformity. This disease, Pott’s disease by name, is often not noticed until there is quite marked curvature of the spine. Hip disease is another very common cause of deformity and untold suffering. It is mentioned here only that mothers may know the first signs and often have the complaint arrested in the firss stage before deformity ensues. It develops oftenest among so called delicate children or children with scrofulous by Mr. Perry. This was a well leid plan tendencies.
