KEEP Your SCRAP BooKs-Every one

KEEP Your SCRAP BooKs.-Every one
who takes a newspaper which he in the
least degree appreciates will often regret to
see any one number thrown aside for waste
paper, which contains some interesting and
important articals. A good way to preserve
these is by the uselof a scrap book One
who has never been accustomed thus to-
preserve short articles can hardly estimate
the pleasure it affords to sit down and turn
over the pleasant, familiar pages. Here
choice piece of poetry meets the eye, which
you remember you were so glad to see 10
the paper, but which you long since bad
lost had it not been for your scrap book
There is witty anecdote, it does you good
to laugh over it yet, though for the twenti-
9th time. Next is valuable receipt you
had almost forgotten, and which you found
just in time to save much perplexity. There
is asweet story, the memory of which has
cheered and encouraged you many time
when almost ready to despair under the
pressure of life's cares and trials. Indeed,
you can hardly take up single paper with
outre-perusing. Just glance over the sheet
before yon and see how many valuable items
it Contains that would be of service to you
a hundred times in life. A choice thought
is far more precious than bit of glittering
gold. Hoard with care the precious gems,
and see at the end of the year what rich
treasure you have accumulated. g..
|. A CAUTIOUS JUDGE.-An Irish Judge
tried two notorious fellows for highway rob-
berry. To the astonishment of the court as
we'll as rof the prisoners themselves, they
were found not guilty. As they were being
removed from the bar, the judge, addressing
the jailor, said :"Mr. Murphy, you would
keep those two respectable gentlemen, until
seven or half past seven O. clock, for / mean
to set out for Dublin at five, and should
like to have at least two hours start of them.
EATING AT THE WRoNG TIME.-H is
very wrong to load the stomach with food
while the body is fatigued. Men will come
from their shops and counters with their
bodies or brains almost exhausted. sit down |
and hurfiedly eat hearty meal and then |
return to their labor. If any part or organ
of the body becomes unduly fatigued, the
whole system requires rest SO that the
nervous influence and the circulation of the
blood may become equalized before another
demand is made upon the vital energies.
ETIQUETTE ON STEEEr G----- ..~ ~--.y
of gentlemen towards ladies on street cars
is just now attracting considerable attention
and discussion. Cory o, Lanus the quaint
humorist in discussion whether the ladies
ought to have seats. says: 81 believe they
ought. always side with the ladies.
When / am in crowded car, and lady
comes in, think it is the duty ofsome other
man to get up and give her his seat. l
look around in the car to see if any man in
the crowd looks like making move in that
direction, aud whenI see them all keep their
seats, bury myself in my newspaper and
blush for my sex. l--r .e.f ..- al
Some of your male correspondents think
that the ladies ought to thank US for giving
up our seats. Ladies, don't you beimposed
upon by any such idea. Get the gentlemen
in the habit of being thanked, and they'll
expect it" E 4. ire |
