You couldn't get te the barn; you couldn't see and you might be blown away and you would have to ace the wind coming back No, you mustn't go." " But the poor cow woull die witn >ut water, and besides, ilsie must have her milk. Yes, 1 shall try.' shr said resolutely. She then untied the cluthe-line. with which Max had fastened the basket ror Elsie. Tying one end irumly to the door knob. she wade sli-knot of the other and put it on her wrisT. Now, you see. Max, I can just follw the rope and get back to the door." Please let me go. Lottie. I am a Wcy. and boys can stand more than irl; can." '-No, M.ax: you are only a littlb boy, not so old as l am.

No she took the lantern in one hand, and the pail of water 10r the -ow in the other. The brave girl hesitated or a uioment, tor when ,he opened the door the blinding Sinow blew ito her face, making her catcth her breath. Then blne stepped tutslte and closed the door after her. Taking the direction which she Ihought right., she made slow pro gress. At last she pushed agaist 'one:hing which she thought must be Ihe barnt. Holding up her lantern < ose to it, however, she discovered an ats-hbarrel and knew that she had ,Lill some distance to go. On she went thirtigh the storm, the water from the pail she carried spilling over her feet and freezing, every few steps. But at la-.t she could hear the cow, and fo liowing the sound, she soon rached the barn door. but her utiur, numbed tingers could hardly open it. When she stepped into the barn anl held up her lantern, Mooley looked ti, her so gratefulily that she was glad shr came. First putting the feed where the cow could get it, she -tuptied the water for her to drink and tried very hard to milk. But it was new work and her tingers were %ry cold. However, she was glaO to get enough for Elsie.

Pulling it until it seemtied tight, she put, fist hne hand forward, theu the other all the way until she fell uainst the door, and Max _-pened it He ha.d been much rrurhtenea 4bout her: he took off her wraps and shoes anat stockings and then rubbesi tile cold rinr.. As he did sc. he 1iscverea tn~at the therished ring was gone. Poor Lottie ! It was her oly bit of jewelry. But she must not cry. She must go to wok. There was the supper to get. She put her breid and biscuit into the oven, and then went on wth other prepara ti'.ns, Max setting the table for her. Elsie woke just as it was ready. Lot tie tried to console her for the a1. scece of her mother. -Come, dear." she said, "and Lot tie will give you a nice biscuit and miik." As she said this sbe broke one of her bist-uits, and there was her ring in the cent-r of it: Max was alost as glad as she was, and it seeited so funny to find it there. After supper she amused Elsie until bedtime. She was so worried about her parents that she thought she would not sleep at all. But she did sleep soundly and when she awoke the sun was shining brightly. They were soon watchbing anxiously for their parents. Lottie could not keep from crying when she saw tlnm. They had no started when it began to snow, anc concluded to walt.

One cof the most serious cor.stacle:: . rorest preservation is the exten sive use which is now reerg made or wood irn the manufacture of naper. Dring the last twc or three years the growth of the wood-pulp indus try has been enormous, a dozen great wil, ea-h manufacturing from tifty to three hundred tons of pulp a day, iavinrg been built on tne Hudson River, to feed principally on the Adirondack forests. The wood chiefly used is sprut e. and the especially dis astrous effects of the 'ndustry on the forests results not only from the ex t~reme demand for the lumber, but from the fact that while the demand is especially tor trees cor thirty t.. thirty-five years' growth. the yoting trees are also cut. In IS51 the capaci ty of the pulp rmills in the United States was about se venty-two thou sand tons per anzuuru. 'Tne present capacity is seanr rnund red thousand tons. And in this remarkable growth the industry has been accompanied by these three desirable things: in urease it qut ntity, decrease In price, and no dirminution in the compensa ton of labor.

L'ne German Favor the General Study of the Coming Language. In an article on the importance o1 n trod ucing into the schools the study >f a universal language (Weltsprache). vhich recently appeared in the Preus. ische Jahrbuecher, Dr. Schroer ad ocates making the study of English )>igatory, not necessarily to the ex lusion of the classical tongues, but Lt least in conjunction with them. This." he says. "is not, a question 0 ta.ate or rivalry beLween the mod rn' aria the 'ancients;' it is simply i hitorical necessity." Theelearned )rofessor properly condemns all at ,empts, however scientitlc, to con truct an artiticial world-speech-like olapuk. In his opinion a language vhichli I.ossesses neither literature, jitorical development nor linguistic elat ions an never serve as a medium ) gene'ra conummunicat.ion, for the taSon that no one will take the roule to ae..uire it, merely as a tool of trade," until it becomes uni. ersal. Such attempts, however, ae iot. only aimless., because they can iever obtain the .general consent of uankind, but they are needless, for ,here already exists a universal lan fuage-i. e., a language which, by ts spread over the whole earth, and )v the ease with which it may be earned, has gained such a long ster n advance that neither natural noz Lrtitcial means can deprive it of its isured position as the future med iunm >f international intercourse. An4 his language is the English. 'rof. Schroer is careful to warn b. a lers not to set their aim too high, '.r to learn to speak and write bient';' and correctly a language ich holds so high a place in tho cale of culture and reinement as the nglish is diflcult; but for the aver. te man this is not necessary, foi ver the a erage Englishman i;as but limited command of his mother ongue, and the daily intercourse of ife requires but a small and easily ec juired vacahulary. Trhis is true ot ~very language, but the absence of ~uzding genders and inflections and :ntactcal forms renders the English asy in co mpason with others. *The English language," concludes rof. Schiroer, "is the world-speech, tnd will, to all appearance, become pore and more so every year." During the present century the En hsh-speaking population of the ovrld has increased five-fold, from ossibly 25,000,000 at. its beginning .o at least 125.00,000. No other aguage has ever been so rapidly de, wloped, no fact in civil history is iore significant than this. In eve~ry uarer of the world English is the *nquer.ng tongue. The widespread f the British colonial system, tho ,irvelous growth of the United 'ates and tbe facility with wh~ch it bsorbs every foreign element bear vitness to this great fact. and' our ~ousins in Germany are of too'pac ical turn of. mind to be ,ealous uw orgetful of it. -Baltimore Sun.

With the advent of baby number two a world or symnathy goes forth to the little one whose place Is taken by another, and who filnds that mother's care and greatest tender ness is for the new comer. It is pit. iful In many Instances to see the way that a child no more than a baby itself is cast aside in order that the little stranger may be properly at tended to. Many a toddler accustomed to al. Lhe attention, looks on in grievad surprise when the kisses and caresses that were once all his ownzare trans ferred to a little sister or brother. A child is too i oung to reason, but not too young to feel, and many a baby's heart has been wounded by this lack of attention, and uauy an evil thought has come into little minds that never would have found place-. theie had not wounded feelings been the irst seeds ot a jealousy that grows with its krowth and crowd- out aui the a :ecuon that should be fos tered in its breast for the new addi tion to the faruly, -QMothers, friends, and relatives are 'enerallv to blame for this state of affalrs.

A Rich Russian Brother. "The house on the right," says Ivan, with some pride, "belongs to my orother, who is the richest man in the village. He has fivegrown-up sons, and therefore a large amount of land, four g(.od horses and six cow's; he lives well." "Does he drink?" we Inquire. -Of course he does," says Ivan "hard on holidays, but he is a good worker, and with five sons can spare two or th ee to work in town. Three of his are laborers, and most ot their wages come home. As for the land, ,u- 'rother and his two sac nd -.. their wives can easily cultivate it. Ah, Barin: it's a great thing for us moujicks to have grown-up sons!" Ivan's remarks were true enough. The large family in a Russian village is a co-operative concern, and pays well. The rich man's house was no bettel than his neighbors.
