Princess Forget-Me-Not,
Once upon a time there was a little
girl, who lived with her mother. She
was called Sophie Murton; she was a
very pretty little girl, but she knew
it far too much, and so it spoiled her.
She was always looking in the glass,
and w! mi she went out to tea or a
party she always wanted to see if the
Low in her hair was all right or if her
brooch was straight, and sometimes
she would pull her hair down several
times, if her maid had not done it
quite as she liked.
Ker mother thought she was the
most lovely and good child that ever
lived, and she liked her much better
than Alice, her younger sister, who
really was much the nicer of the two,
but she was plain, and had prominent
eyes find a very snub nose. They
lived ia a beautiful house at B , iu
Scotland surrounded by trees and
lovely mountains.
One night, when these two were
fast asleep in their cosy little beds
(they each had separate rooms), little
Alice woke up and it was quite light,
although it was midnight. Suddenly
a voice from a corner of the room
t>aid: "What is your greatest wish,
Alice?"
44Who is it speaking? Oh, do tell
me," said frightened Alice.
"Don't be afraid: it is only the
Princess Forget-Me-Not."
44 Well," said Alice. 4'I haven't
any very great wish, but pleas-? tell
ine who you"—but she had not time to
say the last word, for before her stood
a lovely lady, dressed completely in
pale blue.
She said to Alice, "Come with me; I
want to take you somewhere;" and
before Alice knew where she was she
was gliding swiftly through the air,
tind suddenly they settled on the
ground. And there was Alice sitting
down, with the princess by her, open-
ing an iron door.
44Come down here, Alice, we are go-
ing down a well." So saying, she
opened the door and they floated
softly down.
"Won't you get your lovely dress
wet?" said Alice.
4tYes; but I can make that all right
as soon as we are at the bottom." All
at once they bumped and the princess
opened another door. They were in a
most perfect garden, with flowers
everywhere, and a little stream which
looked quite like an ordinary one to
Alice.
"Now," said the princess, 44I aui
going to dry your dress." So she
dipped the little girl into lovely cool
water, and when she came out iter
dress was quite dry. and Alice looked
at her reflection in the water, and she
had changed to a most beautiful
child, instead of the plain one she was
before. They walked on, and went up
a well this time, and suddenly Alice
found herself in her own little bed,
after a great whiz through the air.
The next night the same thing hap-
pened to Sophie, but instead of being
pretty, she was made plain a^ a pun-
ishment for being so very vaio.
Soap Hubbies.
If you have ever tried blowing soap
bubbles, and I fancy most of you have,
you already know what a fascinating
amusement it is. Heretofore you have
used only a pipe in blowing the bub-
bles, and no doubt believed that other
means were not possible. But my
little 'friends have many things to
learn, and among them how to create
1 he glistening bubbles by a new and
improved method.
You have been iu the habit of mak-
ing the soap bubble solution with
warm water and castile soap, have
you not .1 Try adding a few drops of
glycerine to the water which mflst be
almost thick with soap and you will
olrtak: all the pretty primary tf^ies,
which you know are the colors of the
rainbow. The object of having the
water very sgnpv is to oroduce a
stronger film and thus a more durable
bubble. When the film or outside of
a bubble is very frail and thin the air
inside presses against and quickly
breaks it.
For the bubbles which we are to un-
dertake to-day secure a clay pipe, a
rubber tube, which you can buy of
any druggist, and a wire ring some-
what larger than the rim of the pipe.
Fa9ton a handle to the ring by which
to hold it. lly-the-bye, you might
have two such rings, and neatly cover
one of them with a piece of fj?lt. the
purpose of which you will discover
later. The solution ready, you may
begin. Take the uncovered ring in
the left hand and the pipe in the
right, holding the bowl downward.
Dip the pipe in the solution, and blow
the bubble. This bubble may be
blown to an enormous size and will
hang from the ring. Then again dip
the pipe in the water and blow a second
bubble into tho first, also through the
ring, and behold you will have a
double bubble glowing with beautiful
colors. Of course, any number of
young people may blow these bubbles;
indeed, the more the merrier.
Blow the bubble through the pipe
in the usual way, holding the bowl
downward, and resting it ou a flat
surface, which may bo a table or
whatever you please. Blow through
the stem and gradually raise the pipe
and you will have a qoue shaped hat
with a broad, flat brim, very much
like the hats the Pilgrim fathers
wore. Isn't it odd and pretty?
Your rubber tubing will now come
into play for the gas bubble. Attach
one end of the tubing to a gas jet and
the other end to the stem of the pipe,
and, having dipped the pipe in the
water, turn on the gas. which will
create a large bubble, and a smaller
one that will rise to the top of the
first and float about inside of it up to
the ceiling, where it will remain for
some time. Several bubbles of this
sort may be made to float overhead,
and by putting a lighted taper to
them they may be exploded without a
particle of danger and with a great
deal of amusement. When you come
to study natural philosophy you will
clearly understand the whys and
wherefores of all these curious things,
and you will doubtless make a great
many interesting experiments, by
which you will be able to practically
illustrate several important laws of
nature.
You may actually play jail with a
good sized bubble. The bubble hav-
ing been carefully blown, it in ay be
tossed up by means of the covered
ring, which will act as a bat. the bub-
ble rebounding on the soft felt cover-
ing as if it were made of india rubber
instead of air, soap and water. By
adding a few drops of some harmless
coloring fluid to the soap bubble 'so-
lution you can produce colored bub-
bles, and you can readily fancy their
delightful effect. —Delineator.
New Toys and Their Makers.
The toy market, which all the chil-
dren watch with the greatest interest,
is very dull at certain seasons of the
year. All the toy works may be said
to be now ''scratching their heads," to
wake up their ideas and find new
things to delight the little ones. The
toyr -of last year are worn out or have
lost their attraction, and the public
does not know what will be the favor-
ite for the coming season until the toy
stores are supplied. The first ones to
get the new toys are the sidewalk
venders,and the eyes of the little ones
sparkle as they see these. Hundreds
of toys are made in Germany and
Switzerland, in little villages, where
they do not do much else. Almost
every home is a manufactory, and the
father, mother and children work
together, to make up the toys that are
sold to the deale^. Even the little
children can dip and color the splints,
and smaller parts, and add their help.
In this country most of the toy fac-
tories are in country villages. .lust
now the only new toys in the market
are a fowl that picks up grain, an
alligator that movesfrom side to side
and a big-eyed, large cicadas, with
gauze wings, which are an Faster toy
made by the Japanese.
A Dui'liess.
The older children talked about
what they would like to do and be
when they grew t* manhood and
womanhood. Little Annie, after lis-
tening intently to what was being
said, felt that her turn had come, and,
looking up into mamma's face, said
with an air of having finally settled
the matter in her own mind: "And
1 jshall be a duchess when I grow up."
"Why, my darling." said mamma,
with an amused look, "how oan you
be a duchess?" 4 Oh," said the little
'girl. "1 shall marry a Dutchman!"
Horrible Humor.
Little Frances came home from the
kindergarten and announced that she
had refused to take hold of 1 r#ddy
Brown's hand when the circle was
formed.
44Why was that, France.*'.'' asked
mamma.
"Because, mamma," replied tly; in-
dignant little lady, I heard a rumor
that Freddy Brown squeezes little
gir's' hands.''—Judge.
TABERNACLE Pl'LPlT.
OR. TALMAGK TALKS ABOUT
HOME RELIGION
Love Is the Corner-Stone of the
Family structure—Hie Christian Houie
Is Likened to a Kingdom of Joy and
Gladness*
Brookia x, April 1-—In the great
audience which assembled in the
Brooklyn tabernacle this forenoon,
were many strangers. Rev. Dr. Tal-
ma ge chose for the subject of his ser-
mon, "Home Religion," taking his
text from Luke viii : ;W: "Keturn to
thine own house, and show how great
things God hath done unto tliee." .
After a tierce and shipwrecking
night, Christ and his disciples are
climbing up the slaty shelving of the
beach. How pleasant it is to stand on
solid ground after having been tossed
so long on the billows! While the dis-
ciples are congratulating each other
on their marine escape, out from a
dark, deep cavern on the (ladarene
hills there is something swiftly and
terribly advancing. Is it an appari-
tion? Is it a man? Is it a wild beast?
It is a maniac who lias broken away
from his keepers, perhaps a few rags
on his person, and fragments of stout
shackles which he has wrenched off in
terrific paroxysm. With wil4 veil and
bleeding wounds of his own lacera-
tion, he flies down the hill.
Back to the boats, ye fishermen, and
put out to sea, and escape assassina-
tion. But Christ stands his ground: so
do the disciples: and as this flying
fury, with gnashing teeth and uplifted
fists, dashes at Christ, Christ says,
"Hands off! Down at my feet, thou
poor sufferer," and th# demoniac drops
harmless, exhausted, worshipful.
"Away, ye devils!" commanded Christ,
and the 2,000 fiends which tiad been
tormenting the poor man are trans-
ferred to the 2,000 swine which go to
sea with their accursed cargo.
The restored demoniac sits down at
Christ's feet and wants to stay there.
Christ says to him practically, 44l)o not
stop; you have a mission to execute;
wash off the filth and the wounds in
the sea: smooth your disheveled locks;
put on decent apparel and go straight
to your desolated home, and tell your
wife and*children that you will no
more affright them, and no more do
them harm; that you are restored to
reason, and that I, the Omnipotent
Son of Go1, am entitled hereafter to
the worship of your entire household.
Return to thine own house, and show-
how great things (iod hath done unto
thee."
Yes, the house, the home is the first
place where our religious gratitude
ought to be demonstrated. In the
outside world \ye may seem to have
religion when we have it not: but the
home tests whether our religion is
genuine or a sham. What makes a
happy Lome?
Well, one would say a house with
great wide halls, and antlered deer-
heads, and parlors with sculpture and
bric-a-brac, and dining hall with easy
chair and plenty of light and engrav-
ings of game on the wall, and sleep-
ing apartments commodious and
adorned. No. In such a place as
that, gigantic wretchedness has some-
times dwelt, while some of you look
back to your father's house, where
they read their Bible by the light of a
tallow candle. There were no carpets
on the floor save those made from the
rags which your mother'cut night by
night, you helping wind them into a
ball, and then sent to the weaver who
brought them to shape under his slow
shuttle. Not a luxury in 'all the
house. But you caii not. think of it
this morning without tearful and
grateful emotion. You and I have
found out that it is not rich tapestry,
or gorgeous architecture, or rare art
that makes a happy home.
The six wise men of Greece gave pre-
scriptions for a happy home. Solon,
says a happy home is a place where a
man's estate was gotten without in-
justice, kept without disquietude, and
spent without repentance. Chilo says
that a happy home is the place where
a man rules as a monarch of a kingdom.
Bias says that a happy home is a place
where a man does voluntarily.what by
law he is compelled to do abroad. But
you and I, under a grander light, give
a better prescription: a happy home is
a place where the kindness of the
Gospel of the Son of (.iod has full
swing.
'While I speak this morning there is
knocking at your front door, if he be
not already admitted, one whose locks
are wet with the dews of the night,
who would take your children into his
arms, and would throw upon your
nursery, and your sir ping apartments,
and your drawing-room, and your en-
tire house a blessing, that will make
you rich while you live, and be an in-
heritance, to your children after you
have done the last day's work for their
support, and made for them the last
prayer. It is tlie illustrious one who
said to the man of my text. "Return
to thine own house, and show how
great things God hath done unto
thee." Now, in the first place, we
want religion in our domestic duties.
F.very housekeeper weeds greatgface.
If Martha had had more religion she
would not have rushed with such bad
temper to scojd Mary in the presence
of Christ. It is no small thing to keep
order, and secure cleanliness, and
mend breakages, and achieve economy,
and control all the affair of the house-
hold advantageously. Expenses will
run up, store bills will come in twfen
as large as you think they ought to be,
furniture will wear out. carpets will
unravel, and the martyrs of the fire
are very few in comparison with the
martyrs of housekeeping. Yet there
'are hundreds of people in this church
this morning who in their homes aitP
managing all these affairs with a com-
posure, an adroitness, au ingenuity,
and a faithfulness which they never
could have readied" but for the grace
of our practical Christianity. The ex-
asperations which wear out others
have been to you spiritual develop-
ment and santiiication. Employments
which seemed to relate only to an
hour have on theiu all the grandeurs
of eternal history.
You need the religion of Christ in
the discipline of your children. The
rod which in other homes may be tho
first means used, in yours will be the
last. There will be no harsh epithets
— 44you knave, you villain, you scound-
rel, I'll thrash the life out of you, you
are the worst child I ever knew." All
that kind of chastisement makes
thieves, pickpockets, murderers and
the outlaws of society. That parent
who in anger strikes his child across
the head, deserves the penitentiary.
And vet this work of" discipline must
be attended to. God's grace can di-
rect us Alas fgr- those who come to
the work with fierce passion and reck-
lessness of consequences. Between
severity and laxativeness there is no'
choice. Both ruinous and both de-
structive. But there is a healthful
medium which the grace of God will
show to us.
Then we need the religion of Christ
to help us in setting a good example.
Cowper said of the oak: "Time was
when settled on thy leaf a fly could
shake thee to the root. Time has been
when tempest could not." In other
words,your children are very impressi-
ble just now. They are alert; they
are gathering impressions 3 ou have 110
idea of. Have you not been surprised
sometimes, months or years after some
conversation, which you supposed was
too profound or intricate for them to
understand—some question of the
child demonstrated the fact that lie
knew all about it?
Your children are apt to think that
what you do is rigllt. They have 110
ideal of truth or righteousness but
yourself. Things which you do know-
ing at the time to be wrong, they take
to be right They reason this way;
"Father always does right. Father
did this Theiefore, this is right."
That is good logic, but bad premises.
No one ever gets over having had a
bail example set him. Your conduct
more* than your tcaciiiug makes im-
pression. Your laugh, your frown,
your dress, your walk, your greetiugs,
your goodbys, your comings, your
goings, your habits at the table, the
tones of your voice, are making an im-
pression which will last a million
years after you are dead, and the
sun will be extinguished, aud the
mountains will crumble, and the
world will die. and eternity will roil
011 in perpetual cycles, but there will
be no diminution of the force of your
conduct upon the young eyes that saw
it or the young ears that heard it
Now I would not have by this the
idea given to you that you must he iu
cold reserve in the presence of your
children. You are not emperor; you
are companion with them. As far as
you can, you must walk with them,
skate with them, fly kite with them,
plily ball with them, show them you
are interested in all that interests
them. Spensippus. the nephew and
successor of Plato in the academy.had
pictures of joy and gladfiess hung all
around the school-room. You must
not give your children the. impression
that when they come to you they are
playful ripples striking against a rock.
You must have them understand that
you were a boy once yourself, that
voti know a boy's hilarities, a boy's
temptations, a boy's ambition yea,
that you are a boy yet. You may de-
ceive them and try to give them the
idea that you are some distant super-
natural effulgence and you may shove
them ofl" by your rigorous behavior,
but the time will come when they will
lind out the deception and they will
have for you utter contempt.
Aristotle said that a boy should be-
gin to study at J7 years o!' age; before
that hi> time should be given to recre-
ation. I can not adopt that theory.
But this suggests a truth in the right
direction. Childhood is too brief, and
we have not enough sympathy with
its sportful ness. We want divine
grace to help us in the adjustment of
all these matter- '
Besides that, how are your children
ever to become ( hristians if you ■ "
self are not a Christian? I have noticed
that however worldly and sinful pa:
ents may be, they want their child • 11
good. When young people have pr<
sen ted themselves for admission int 1
our membership I have said to them
"Arc your father and mother willinj
you shall eome ' ' and they have d
•*()li! yes; they are delighted to ha v.
us come; they have not been in church
for ten or fifteen year>, but the . v.
be here next Sabbath*to see me lu;>
tixcQ.- 1 nave noticeo tnat parents,
however worldly, want their children
good.
So it was demonstrated in a police
court in Canada, where a mother, her
little child in her arms—sat by a table
on which her own handcuffs lay, and
the little babe took up the handcuffs
and played with them, and had great
glee. She knew not the sorrow of the
hour And then when the mother was
sent to prison, the mother cried out,
"Oh! (iod, let not this babe go into
the jail. Is there not some mother
here who will take this child? It ig
good enough for heaven. It is pure.
1 am bad. I am wicked. Is there not
tome one who will take this child? I
tan not have it tainted with the
prison ' Then a brazen creature
rushed up and said, "Yes, I'll take the
child." "No, no," said the mother,
"uot you,® not you. Is there
not some good mother here who
will take this child?" And then
when the officer . of the law .in
mercy and pity took the child to carry
K away to find a home for it, the
mother kissed it lovingly good-by,
and said, "Good-by, my darling; it i*
better you should never see me again."
However worldly and sinful people
are, tney wauc xneir children gooA.
How are you going to have them good?
Buy them a few good books? Teach
them a few excellent catechisms?
Bring them to church? That is all
very well, but of little final result un-
less you do it with the grace of God in
your heart Do you not realize that
your children are started for eternity?
Are they on the right road? Those
little forms that are now so bright
and beautiful, when they have scat-
tered in the "dust there will be an im-
mortal spirit living ou in a mighty
theater of action, and your faithful-
ness or your neglect now is deciding
that destiny.
There is contention already among
aiinistering spirits of salvation and
fallen angels ns to who shall have the
mastery of that immortal spirit. Your
children are soon going out in the
world. The temptations of life will
rush upon them. The most rigid reso-
lution will bend in the blast of evil.
What will be the result? It will re-
quire all the restraints of the gospel,
all the strength of a father's prayer,
all the influence of a Christian mother's
example, to keep them.
You sav it is too early to bring them.
Too early to bring tltMn to (iod? Do
you know how early children were
taken to the ancient Passover? The
rule was just as soon as they could
take hold of the fathers hand and
walk up Mount Moriali they should bo
taken to the Passover. Your children
are not too young to come to (iod.
Whil(* you sit here aud think of them
perhaps their forms now so bright and
beautiful vanish from you, and their
disembodied spirit rises, and you see
it after the life of virtue or crime is
past and the judgment is gone and
eternity is here.
A Christian minister said that in the
Uist year of his pastorate he tried to
persuade a young mechanic of the im-
portance of family worship. Some
time passed, and the mechanic came to
the pastor's study and said: "Do you
remember that girl? That was my
own child; she died this morning very
suddenly; she has gone to (iod, I have
no doubt, but if so, she has told him
what I tell you now: that child never
heard a prtiyer in her father's house—
never heard a prayer from her father's
lips. Oh! if I only had her back again
oue day to do my duty!" It will be a
tremendous thing at the last day if
some one shall say of us, "I never
heard iny father pray; 1 never heard
my mother pray."
Again I remark, we want religion in
till our home sorrows There are ten
thousand questions that come up in
the best regulated household that must
be settled. Perhaps the father has
one favorite in the family, the mother
another favorite in the family, and
there are many questions that need
delicate treatment
Tyranny and arbitrary decision have
no place in a household. If tie- par-
cuts, love (iod, there will bo a spirit of
self-sacrifice, and a spirit of forgive-
ness. ami a kindness which will throw
its charm over the entire household.
Christ will come into that household
and will sav. ' Husbands. lo.<- your
wives and be not bitter against them;
wives, see that you reverence your
husbands, children, obey your parents
in the Lord; servants, be obedient to
' your masters.' and tho family will be
like a garden on a summer morning
the grass-plot, and the flowers, and
j the vines, and tin* arch of honej'suckle
; standing .n the sunlight glittering
; wi^li dew.
Rut then there wil b' sorrows that
will come to the household. There
are but few families that escape the
stroke of financial misfortune. Finan-
cial misfortune comes to a house
where there is no religion. They kick
against divine allotments; they curse
God for the incoming calamity, they
withdraw from the world because they
I can not hold as high .1 position in soci-
ety as they one.
: and they scowl, a

men destroyed by their financial dis-
tresses.

stration of affection. My friends,
what is the grandest gift we can bring
to the sepulchers of a Cinistian ances-
try? It is a life all consecrated to the
(iod who made us and the Christ who
redeemed us. 1 can not but believe
that there are hundreds of parents in
this house who have resolved to do their
whole duty, aud that at this moment
they are passing into a better life; and
having seen the grace of the gospel iu
this place to-day, you are now fully
ready to return to your own house.and

Why the State of Nevada Can Wash IH
Own IHrty Linen.
In the Nevada exhibit in the Ag-
ricultural building at tho world's
fair was a box of mottled castile
soap, It is a natural product of the
soil of Klko county, Nevada, and has
all the qualities, save that of odor,
of tho mottled castile. which is man*
ufactured and in such general two.
Tho exhibit was taken from a nat-
ural mine. Tho mine is on tho lino
of the Central Pacific railroad, and it
is claimed that it is tho only mlno
of the sort known. This soap is ono
of tho things about which Nevada
people like to talk. One of them
said:
♦•We have enough natural soap to
wanh all tho soiled linen of our own
state. Wo can wash out any stato or
national blotch which may be placed
011 our escutcheon. Wo could run a
national laundry if it became neces-
sary. A man in Nevada has no oc-
casion to go dirty. As soon as tho
mine is a littlo moro fully developed
wo shall lay claim to beln* tho
cleanest stato in the union. Tho
soap lathers with ease and tho chil-
dren in its vicinity play with soap
bubbles instead of dolls. Tho soap
In this wonderful mine is imbedded
there as compactly as blno clay.
"You know, ' this enthusiastic
citizen wont 011 to say, 4'that in
Florida they have a tree, tho bark of
which whon it is dried makes good
towols. in fact, it is called tho
towel treo. I expect as soon as the
soap mine is more fully developed a
company will bo formed which will
transplant tho Florida towel trees to
Nevada, and thon wo will invito tho
nations of the earth to move out to
Nevada and get washed. And then "

or something of that kind."
JoHhua'M I oug Day.
Lieutenant Totten, onee professor
of military tactics at Yale college,
and who perhaps still fills that im-
portant position, once figured out
the date of tho celebrated "long
day of Joshua." Ho calculated from
tho full moon in Juno, 1890, and
after much laborious work found that
the famous Beth-horon conjunction
