Striving.
There la no rest without the toll.
The patient, strong endeavor:
'Tin he who wins divides the spoil,
The coward takes it never.
We cannot all the prizes take;
We>cannot all be thriving;
We can our evil self forsake?
We always can be striving'.
To dare is better than to doubt.
For doubt is always grieving:
'TIs faith that finds the riddlers out.
The price is for believing.
To do it better than to dream ;
Life has enough of sleepers: To
be Is better than to seem?
The sowers are the reapers.

A RTinn^RTTON TO BUILDERS.?A
variety of materials?such as sawdust
dry ashes, oork chippings, etc., hav(
been used under floors for deadening
noise. A late French suggestion is th<
use for this purpose of wood-shavingi
, which have been dipped in thicl
white-waab. It is claimed that this
substance has the advantages of being
quite incombustible, an excellent non
conductor of sound, inexpensive, anc
of light weight. When desirable t(
/ dfeenfeot the space between floor anc
ceiling, as in hospitals, chloride o:
zinc may be used to saturate the sbav
ingsor added to the whitewash.
About Gloyes.
When you are buying kid gloves re
member that there is such a thing as i
price that is too cheap, it is oesc it
pay a good price, and get the gooc
gloves that go with it. Examine th<
stitohing to find places where th<
thread has broken through the leath
. er; stretch the seams, and if th<
thread pulls away, leaving a whit<
pot, don't get the gloves. The leathe;
should stretch easily to make a gooc
fit add wear well.
Mend a tear in the leather by work
- ing a button-hole stitch around th<
edges* and then draw them togethe:

be hardly noticed. When gloves neet
oleaning it is better to send them t<
some reputable shop where such worl
)s done. But if you must do it your
self, for black gloves put a few drops o
the beet black ink in a tea-spoonful o
olive oil, apply with a feather, and drj
*; in the sun. Benzine will clean whit
gloves, but it will hardly do for othe
colors. Corn-meal, dry, will do fo:
> light gloves that are not much soiled
If you are about to buy a cheap pal
of kid gloves, change your mind, anc
buy cashmere gloves instead. The}
look better than the cheap kids, wil
issar longer, and are always in style
besides being warmer. Fleece-linec
kid mittens are the most coinfortabli
for out-door wear in winter. To keej
the surface of your kid gloves looking
well, when you take them off, smootl
them out lengthwise until they bav<
about the same outline that they havi
on your hand, and put them away in i
dry place. If the gloves are rolled to
gether into a wad, the surface wil

Precept vs. Example.
\
Among no other class of person:
should greater care be taken to "Prac
tice what we preach," than amonj
children. Few sooner detect a depart
ure from this rule than they. We sau
this fact amusingly illustrated by a fa
ther and his little daughter of p.Urn
three years. She was accustomed tc
going out in the hot sun without hei
bonnet. Her mother had repeatedly
told her she must wear her bonnet
when out of doors, but, as yet, it hat
proyed of no avail. At this juncture
father took it up; and, after proving
to his entire satisfaction that, in tliii
particular case, at least, law without ?
penalty was of no use to his little girl
he told her that the next time slit
went out without her bonnet he wouk
. chastise her with a rod. Her memory
proved treacherous in a remarkably
short time, and her father again sau
her out in the sun bonnetless.
He arose in great haste, and, laying
aside his book, went to the nearest tret
nd procured a suitable rod, thinking
of nothing but teaching his child to bt
obedient in the first place, aud to weai
her bonnet in the second place.
When he came in sight of her
where she was playing, her memory
was suddenly refreshed by the sight o
tho rod in her father's hand. The nexi
thought was how to escape the punish
ment that was about to fall upon her
Knowing full well that it was for com
ing out without her bonnet, she hasti
ly called out: "Now, pa, you ought tc
be switched for coming out here ir
your bare head." Sure enough, there
he was standing hatless before her.
The child's pointed remark very
much disturbed the father's gravity,
and he was compelled to laugh, in
spite of himself. Being n minister of
the Gospel, and so used to follow arguments
to their logical conclusions, he
wisely concluded her premises wore |
correct and suspended further opera- .
tions until a future occasion. Parents
should be careful to follow precepts |
with a corresponding example.

A Kite With a Tale. i
"Papa, will you make me a kite?"
It was Hartwell, my little boy, who ;
spoke.
"Go away, my son, and don't bother 1
. me about making kites. I have some.
thing more important to do."
i The little fellow said no more, but,
with a look of disappointment, turned
r away. I was quite busy that day, 011
what I considered an important mat
ter; yet, in spite of my pre-occupa- '
tiou, that sad look of pain and disap
pointment which my impatient au.
swer had caused my little son would
obtrude itself upon my mental vision. 1
i My conscience smote me for not, at
i least, being a little milder in my refusal
to grant his childish request. I
. knew that 1 had spoken in an unuec- 1
t essarily harsh manner, and vainly
tried to reconcile my accusing eon
science with the lame excuse of havi
iug been too busily engaged to give '
any but a short answer. Ah ! too busy
? to give a little child a civil answer. A '*
1 poor apology, surely!
1 Suppose a neighbor had dropped in 1
' 1 nf mo WAIlIf) 7 1
' IU UUllUW VA A, ?, VM.v.
have answered him so curtly ? Indeed
f not. On the contrary, I would in all '
probability not only have granted his
request, but perhaps have squandered (
L a half-hour or more in useless gossip,
( simply "out of politeness." And yet 1
? "too busy" to spare five minutes to ex- '
r plain in a kindly manner to my little
; boy why I could not comply with his
j request! {
: What made me appear to myself
s more culpable was the fact that I had '
r seen the little fellow taxing his own
. ingenuity to its utmost in a vain atI
tempt to make the longed-for kite; 1
> and it was not until his own crude litI
tie efforts had utterly failed that he ap- '
f pealed to me. He had seen "papa" do '
. so many little things requiring more 1
or less mechanical skill that he very
naturally concluded (and rightly, too) 5
that I could easily make a kite.
That afternoon, at a leisure interval,
I got a hoop off an empty flour-barrel,
and whittled out a bow for my boy's
1 kite. The next day I had business in J
| town, and did not forget to go to the
drug store and procure a few sheets of 1
light, strong minila paper and a ball of '
twine. Returning home, I stopped at
[ a wood-shop and found some light
'a pine strips in a pile of rubbish. I got
home an hour or more before sunset,
p
j and finding some starch which had
been left from the week's ironing, by
nightfall my little boy was happy in
the possession of a neat, strong kite of
" "papa's own make," completed with|
out the actual sacrifice of an hour of
time from serious occupation.
The next day at noon the kite was
'l?" otI "rooH\7 fnl" litici n o?c " U1V
uij uuu jivauj iwi
1 little boy said, and I went out upon an
~ adjacent common with him, and he
was soon taught "how to make it sail.''
The great joy it gave his childish heart
' was reflected with renewed strength
" upon my own, and I then realized the
r pleasing conviction that the time I
r had spent thus to amuse him was not
' wasted.

It seems that promises are not made

Bcacon tells of a wealthy citizen of
3abrenfeld who took a lively interest
n the welfare of a railroad ollicial of

ncreasing, and a few years ago on the
>irth of the man's ninth child, wentso
ar as to promise him a house on the
jirthday of the twelth addition to his
amily, be the child male or female.
Ltepeatedly the generous would-be
lonor, in the presence of witnesses,
jad reiterated his promise to the liap>y
paler familiax, whose great expetaion
became the town-talk as it were.
Jne line day number 12 made his
ippearance, but the magnilicient
lives, on being appealed to, refused to
nake good his word, pretending that
he whole matter was only a joke. A
luit in optima forma was the conseluence
of the refusal, and the court
lecided in favor of the plaintill?a remit
agaiust which the respondent apjealed?but
in vain. The Supreme
Jourt of Kiel decided to look upon the

verbal ofl'er as perfectly binding, and
went bo far as to reject the appeal not
, only, but also to authorize tue piaiuun
[ to chose one of the respondent's houses.
A man's promise ought to be as
good as his bond, and in this instance
. (lie court made it so.

i Chicago architects have a queer way
. of estimating the cost of the ten and
i twelve story building now being erecti
ed there. They take the dimensions
and find the exact cubic contents.
, Then they say the building, if plainly
? finished, should cost 25 cents a cubic
foot, and not more than 35 cents if
. elaborately finished. This is a kind of ti
, "Rule of Thumbs" plan which the U!

. exact, and so is the rule of the architects
noted above. The use of the rule D(
? by the architects is almost uuiversal a,
- throughout the West. It enables
j them to come somewhere near the cost
of the buildings so that they can find
? out whether it is worth while to draw .
plans and make specifications. Contractors
also use the rule so that they
. can give a rough guess and decide w
whether they will be able to carry 01

Never Mind.
What's the use of always fretting
At tlie trials wo shall find
Ever strewn along our pathway ?
Travel on and never mind.
Travel onward, working, hoping,
Cast no lingering look behind
At the trials oneo encountered?
Look ahead and never mind.

Let all fretting be resigned ;
It will never help the matter?
Do your best and never mind.
And if those who might befriend you
Whom the ties of nature bind,
Should refuse to do their duty,
Look to Heaven and never mind.
