Ingratitude to Parents. There is a proverb that "a father can more easily maintain six children, than six children one father." Lu ther relates this story: There was once a father who gave up 'aveiything to his children-his house, his fields, and his goods, and ex pected that for this his children would support him. But after he had been some time with his son, the latter grew tired of him, and said to him, "Father, I have had a son born to me this night, and here, where your arm chair stands, the cradle must come; wilt you not, perhaps, go to my brother, who has a larger room?" After he had been some time with the second son, he also grew tired of him, and said, "Father, you like a warm room, and that hurts my head. Won't you go to my brother, the baker?" The father went, and after he had been some time with the third son, he also found him troublesome, and said to him, "Father, the people run in and out here all day, as if it were a pigeon house, and you cannot aUi your noon-day sleep; would you not be better off at my sister Kate's, near the town wall?" . The old man remarked how the wind blew, and said to himself, "Yes, I will do so; I will go and try it with my j e. Women have softer hearts, ut afterhe had spent some time. with his daughter, she grew weary of him, and said she was al ways so fearful when her father went ?i church or any where else, and was oblige to descend the steep stairs, and at her sister Eliabeth's there were no stairs to descend, as she lived o the ground floor. For the sake of peace the old man --assented, and went to his other aaughter. But after some time she 4 too wastired of him, and told hir by ' third person that her house near1 the water was too damp for a man, who suffered with gout, and -her I aister theX ave-digger's wife, at St. Tohn's b much drier lodgings. TEhe old man himself thought she was ight,'and went outside the gate to ( IhYfoun & daughter, Helen. But I 'Jaft= he had been three days with her, i et'.ite son said to his grand- r 4ather "Mother said yesterday to c cousin, Eisabeth that there was no - better chamber for you than such a one aI father digs." These words 9 broke the old man's heart, so he sank r back in his chair and died. t THEM OUT-Scientists tell us now that the best e and safest way to cure e diseam 6f the blood and skinis to e fores out through the skin the mi erobese or germs which produce dis- I ease.

Vhen fitting up our chambers last pring for summer boarders I was mpressed by the fact that a little helf was needed here and brackets here, so I studied over the matter, tnd this was the result: In the shed shamber I found a box cover minus a im, and sawed it apart exactly in the niddle. An upright bracket cut rom a half-inch board, and all paint d cherry and varnished made the oundation. The top was securely astened with two wire nails to the xpright bracket. The drapery must )e inexpensive to match, so pieces o )rown flannel from remnants of moth r's dress lined with cambric were bund heavy enough. Black velvet ibbon an inch wide, worn years ago or dress trimming, was neatly bast d over the edge and in fancy stitches vith bright colored silks sewed to the lannel. In the centre was placed a Aue velvet leaf snipped from artificial lowers, and on each side, from neat he lowest point of the drapery, a lit le spray in outline and fancy stitches u common use runs nearly to the top ;ides. A row of flannel stitch was ap )lied on the edge of the velvet across he top, and it was ready to tack on. [f one has brass tacks it is better, but imall common tacks can be put un lerneath and will answer every pur )ose. These two little brackets were ?laced one on each side of the mir or, and have evoked many apprecia ive remarks. For another room was used the argest piece of a flour barrel head, he edge being smoothed so tacks ould be driven in, then painted and arnished the same as the small ones, ?or the upright support one can be ut from a thin board, or ten cents vill buy iron ones. This being larger, nore cloth is required, and in order to se what could be found stored away, made the drapery in three pieces he middle section in the form of a ield-and all edged with black vel ,et ribbon that had been a household reasure for years, put on with bright ilks similar to the others. After all 3 finished the middle piece is placed inderneath to fit the vacant place. )n one side is a morning-glory, buds nd leaves, the other a little bird on a ranch, and the centre piece has a ose with leaves and stems done in utline stitch and French knots. Of ourse the designs are small, and one an use her own taste in decorating. 'hey are all qmte useful, and cost ot more than ten cents, all the ma erials having been found about the ouse.-Ethel Morse.
