The Kuoxville Journal siives ilie folio win
interesting account of the death iu that cit
of the smallest child that was ever born:
Little Alma Irene Haley, the baby wond?
ol the worid. is dead. Alma was on record >
the World's New York Medical Society as tli
smallest child for her age ever known*
Alma was born Marci? :f. Ioii4. ai use uir
of her.birth she was less Hum twelve iuchi
in length and weighed only one pouud and
half. Iler hands and feel, wen-as wen us llux
of a small doll, iler urowth was not rap)
and at her death she weighed less than niti
pounds aud was only two feet and tlirt
quarters of an Inch tall, lier eyes wei
daoclng and ooal black. They were swei
childish mysteries, iler hair was a beautili
brown, soft as fiue silk. Once it sjrew eigl
inches in length and her mother cut It lest ii
rapid growth rob her of strength of body. I
form, Alma was perfect. She was a mode
and for so wee, marvelously developed, si
could walk everywhere and say an;
thing. She had a sweet baby voice and sa:
many cute things. If her mother went to il
a bit of house work, she would say, "I will U
tbHt." and li one ucjian wrmuS i?uC
say. '"Irene will write." she called licrse
"Baby Irene." She uever seemed to care fi
Alma. She had a little doll chair aud a tab
of which she was passionately foml. St
did not like fruits nor (lowers. A bit i
? banana now and then was the only fruit sti
ever ate. She was lond of vegetables and al
them mostly.
It was difficult to get clothes small enoug
" for her, especially. Shoemakers are loathe I
undertake to make shoes so small. One, hov
ever undertook the task and was completiu
theshoes when Alma died, she always wor
the shoes and slippers made for dolls. Sli
strongly resembled a doll and her pareui

were a sure enough baby. Alma would souk
times smile back at I hem to their great su
prise aud delight. She was a lovely child an
would wlu anyone with her smiles. The
were rare aud cweet and were graced with tli
beam of her beautiful eyes. She was a un

Eight or ten days ago. however, she le
slightly ill. Wednesday night she was s
much wors? that M is. Haley telgraphed M
Haley at Mlddlesborongh, where he was t
work and Friday morning he came horn
Alma knew him, smiled sweetly and calle
him "papa." She was so bright that it dl
not seem that the end was near. The troubl
was pneumonia or congestion of the June
aud she died with something of a congesilv
spasm yesterday morning at 2:30 o'clock. ,
half hour before her death sne eanea io ut
mother, who was close by. several time
She did not suffer long before the little splr
took Its flight. She was a flower too frail If
earth and she has.gone to bloom iu Ood's fa!
land of day.
She was small but she tilled a large place 1
the hearts of the Inmates of her homi
She was exceedlbgly a flection ate and lavishe

lie <iot His Reward.
A young man was employed by
large commission firm in New Yor
city during the late civil war, to negot
ate with a certain party for a lot c
damaged beans. The beans wer
purchased, delivered and spread ou
upon the upper lloor of the buildin
occupied by the firm.
Men were employed to turn thei
over aud over, and to sprinkle tber
with a solution of soda, 30 as to in
prove their appearance and rendt
them more salable. A large lot of tb
first quality of beans was then pui
chased ; some of the good beans wer
first put into barrels, then the barrel
were nearly filled with the poor ones
after this the good oues were again pu
on the top and the barrels headed u
for sale. v
The employer marked the barrel:
"Beans?Al." The clerk seeing this
said : ''Do you think, sir, that it i
right to mark those beans A1 ?"
The employer. retorted sharply
"Are you head of the firm ?"
The clerk said no more. The barrel
ing and heading went on. When a
was ready, the beans (many hundred
of barrels) were put on the market fo
sale. Specimens of the best qualit
were shown in the office to buyers.
At length a shrewd purchaser cam
in (no man is so sharp in business bu
he will often meet bis equal), exam
ined tbe samples in the office, inquire
the price, aud then wisheJ to see th
stock in bulk. The clerk was ordere
to go with the buyer to the upper lol
aud show him the stock. Au ope;
barrel was shown apparently of th
same quality of the sample. The buye
then said to the clerk :
"Young man, tbe samples of bean
shown me are of the first quality, an
it is impossible to purchase beans an}
where iu the market for the price a
which you offer them ; there is som<
thing wrong here. Tell me, ate thes
beans the same quality throughout th
entire barrel as theappear on the top ?
The clerk now found himself in
strange position. He thought, "Sha!
I lie for my employer, as be undoub
edly means I shall, or shall I tell th
truth, come what will?" He decide
for tbe truth, and said.
"No, sir, they are not."
"Then,*" said the customer, "I d
not want them," and he left.
The clerk entered the office. Th
employer said to him : "Did you se
that man those beans?"
Hp aniil "\n air"
' Why not!"
"Well, sir, the mac askeil me
those beans were of the same qualit,
through the entire barrel as they aj
peared on the top. I told him the
were not. He then said : 'I do uc
want them,' and left."
"Go to the cashier," said the en:
ployer, "aud get your wages ; we wan
you no longer."
He received his pay and left the o
flee, rejoicing that he had not lied fc
the purposes of abetting a sordid a\
ariciousness, and benefiting an ui
principled empi03'er.
Three weeks after this the liri
sent after the young clerk, entreate
him to come back again into their en
ploy, aud ottered him three huudre
dollars salary more per year than the
had ever before given him.
Aud thus was his honesty aud trutl
fulness rewarded. The firm knew an
telt that the man was right, althoug
apparently they had lost largely hy h
honesty. They wished to have hit
again in their employ, because the
knew that they could trust him.au
never sutler through fraud aud dece]
tion. They knew that their linancii
interests would be safe in his custod;
They respected aud honored thi
young mau.
?
Youtii Age and Knowledge."Yes,
sir," said Jones to Smith, "j
men grow in age and experience th(
advance in knowledge."
"I don't think so," replied Smith.
"Don't think so? That's rath'
singular. The opinion I hold on tl
subject is tlie universal opinion.
"It may be, but 1 have my o\\
opinion, nevertheless, and it is th
the younger we are the more v
know. When 1 was a youthl kne
twice as much as my father. Now
am aged and I don't know half
much as my sou.
The newspapers of a town are i
looking glasses. It is here you s
yourself as others see you. Yc
smile on them aud they smile back
you ; you frown on them and you a
repaid in kind. They are the r
flex of a town. If a town is doii
business the newspaper will show
in its advertising columns. If tl
merchauts are spirtless, shiftless ft
lows, whose stores are a jumble an
jam the newspaper will show it I
the lack of space they take. I f y<
want the world to know that you ha1
a live town you can only let it 1
known through its newspapers.

pi "HerK mother," came a shrill little
! : - .1...
j VUll'f IHIIll HIV Ui?^rk ju.n.
? "Come here, Kddy; I want you to'
v do something for me."
;rI Then the back door opened, and;
,l|Mrs. Taylor heard the soft thud of
16 j bare feet along tbe passage. But;
le'when Kddy entered the sitting-room, j
-"jand stood by mother's sewing-table,I
ie she only said, "Why, Kddy. what's
(i: the matter?"
|e Now tbere were no cuts or bumps
-o'or bruises about the little boy. Why
?i should the mother think anything was
^ the matter? Because his brown eyes,
iK which generally looked right up at you
" lIKe L\> U nine uuua 11%> uut ?* 14 ,
^ now hail an uuea?y look; neither here
y. nor there, but away.
<i "Nothing's the matter, said Eddy,
j? looking out of the window; "What did
d you call me for mother?"
if ?She had wanted him to run down to
the village postoflice, to mail a letter,
,e but the letter was forgotten now.
3' Mother was silent for a few moments ;
then seing something between her table
and the door, she spoke :
Ji "I am sorry my little boy has dis?
obeyed me about going to the apple
g" bin without leave." Eddy gave a little
? start. "The reason God put me here
as your mother, Eddy, is because he
,e thinks I know better what you ought
? <lr? iliim vnu do vourself."
j Eddy did not answer. He was asky
ing himself how mothers knew everytiling
a fellow did.
'* "I am specially sorry that you should
n disobey me by sueakiug through the
o coal-room window," said Mrs. Taylor,
[j l,I would much rather have you say,
e. 'I won't mind you,' and go in before
d my eyes, than go in by telling me a
d lie."
|s "Why, mother, I didn't say?" bee
gan Eddy, glad of a chance to defend
* himself.
9. "Do you think you only talk with
it your lips?" interrupted his mother.
[J "What do you suppose has whispered
to me that you have been in the apple
D cellar, aud that you weui through the
coal room?"
tr "I can't imagine," said Eddy, lionestly.
kt "Look behind you."
Tha liftlo hotr tiirnoil aiifl tliprp hp.
tween him and the door, were tive coaldusty
footprints on the white matting!
Mother could not help smiling at the
k look of-surprise aud dismay on the lit.
tie face, but it was a rather mournful
j smile.
"Do you thiuk we can ever do wrong
. Eddy, and not leave marks of it somer
where?" she asked. "And, oh ! my
little boy, the marks that sin leaves
are on your heart, which ought to be
~~ clean aud white for God's eyes, instead
of being all tracked over by wrong do r
iQg'"
"Won't they come out?" asked
Eddy. He meant the footprints on the
matting, but his mother was thinking
,e about those other marks, when she
s. said, "The blood of Jesus Christ clean'
seth from all sin. You must ask him
_ to forgive you, Eddy, and to takeaway
p your guilt, and to make you hate sin,
which leaves such ugly footprints on
i' your little life."
'' And then for a punishment, and for
ls a reminder, mother kept the footprints
on the sitting-room floor that whole
' "lay, so that Eddy might see them and
, remember how every wrong deed left
I dark stains on his little heart.
r
y A Few Hints About Konom.
Wheu you plant roses, you want an
? abundance of flowers, aud to obtain
11 them, you must give proper care.
The tirst thing to be considered is tlie
13 soil. If not a deep, porous loam, it
e. must be made so by removing the soil
, aud lillingin, or by spading to a depth
1 ofa foot and a half and mixing, with
D the original soil, well-rottefi manure
e from the cow stable, and sand if the
r soil is too heavy, or mauure, woodashes
aud clay if too light aud sandy.
^ Never plant iu cold, stiff clay, aud give
f a top dressing of well-rotted manure
11 Iu planting roses, as well as all other
J" plants, dig the holes large enough that
e the roots may all be straighteued out;
* if bunched up, they wiil only decay
and your plant will stand still and die.
** As roses produce their blossoms on the
new growth, they should be pruned iu
the spring. Hoses that bloom more
'? ti an once during the summer should
11 be pruned after blooming, as they wiil
inducenewgrowth, consequently mote
blossoms. People who are generous
0 with their roses will have more than
those who ure stingy, for when a rose
is removed and a piece of the branch
*' with it, new prowth is started and
several roses will take the place of the
one given away. I have reference to
. the monthly roses.
. Keep your roses well cultivated, as
^ this opens the soil to the dew, light
J" and air. The more thoroughly and
y frequently the soil is worked the more
^ thriftv will Im f ho rtluntu ami hlncunitic
Never allow seed capsules to mature,
l" as this weakens the plant.
11 The roses are among the most de.
sirableas they are not only beautiful
and fragrant, but also so free flowering.
>r They are hardy as far north as New
r~ York, and furthur north may be protected
with evergreen boughs.
d
i- Kggs are useful iu the following apd
plications: "A mustard plaster made
y with the white of an egg will not leave
a blister. A raw egg, taken iminedii
ately, will carry down a fishbone that
d cannot be extracted. The white skin
ll thiit linttu iu iK^ftil ?innlir**i
is tiou to aboil. White of egg, lieaten
11 up with loaf sugar and lemon, relieves
y hoarseness, a teaspoonful taken once
d every hour. An egg in the morning
[>- in a cup of cotl'ee is a good tonic.
