A NEW REMEDY.
If there was anything Jenny hated to do it was to wash dishes, but all the same she had it to do three times a day. She went to stay awhile with grandma, and flattered herself she should get rid of dish-washing there. But grandma thought that dish-washing was the very work for little girls. ‘ I can't wash the dishes this morning, grandma,' said Jenny one day as they cleared off the table ; ‘ for my linger is sore, and the dish-water makes it smart.' ‘ No matter if it does smart a little,' grandma said ; ‘ it will do it good. Dish-water is very healing.’ Half an hour after grandma came out, exj>ecting to see the dishes all done, but, instead, Jenny had dip|>ed out a little of the water into a tin cup, and there she sat soaking her finger in ! It was a long time before she heard the last of her ‘ dishwater cure.’
• Mamma,’ said a little boy, ‘ I'm so cold that my teeth are tittering.’
