FAT AND LEAN PEopLE.-It is a
striking fact that most persons want
to weigh moro than they do, and
measure their health by their weight,
as if man were q pig, valuable in
proportion TO his heaviness. The
racer is not fat the plow-horse has
but u moderate amount Of flesh
Heavy men are not those which ex-
perienced contractors employ to
build railroads and dig bitches. Thin
men the world over are the men for
work for endurance, they are wiry
and hardy; thin people live the lon.
ges the truth ID fat is a disease and as
proof, fat people are never well day
at time, and are not suited TO hard
work. Still, there is a medium be-
tween being rs fat as a butter-ball
and as thin and as juiceless as u rail
For mere looks. a moderate rotundity
IS most desirable, TO have enough
flesh 10 cover all angularitiee. To
accomplish this in the shortest time.

DISCHARGE OF LIVING FISH FROM
y oLCANoEs.-lt is u curious fact that
a feature Of volcanic discharge in
South America often consists in the
election Of immense numbers Of fish,
usually OF one species thrown out
sometimes in such quantities as to
poison tho air and spread disease by
their eXhalations. The fish in quos-
ton belongs to the Same natural or
der IS the frosh-wator catfish, with
which every one in the United States
is we'll acquainted. 1t has been TAX
on alive in some of the lakes in the
sides Of the Andes, at an elevation of
eight or ten thousand feet above the
sea and it is supposed that these
lakes communicate with reservoirs in
the interior, from which the fish are
elected by the volcano. Specimens
were obtained by Prof. Orion, on
his late expedition to Ecuador, and
have been identified as the Cylocium
hnmboidhj Of naturalist.

AvoIDABLE INJURIES TO THE HoRsE.
Many horses are made vicious from
cruel treatment.
More horses fall from WEAKNESS
than from any other cause.
When q horse falls, he is more
frightened than his rider.
A frightened animal cannot use its
senses Alright; it must first be reas-
sured by gentle treatment.
II Is speed thai kills the horse.
Mover strike an animal upon the
head
Careless application of the ghip
has blinded many horses.
More horses are famed from bad
shoeing than from all other causes
together.
Never kick nor scream at horse.
nor jerk the bit in his mouth.

s6rWe would guard the young
against the use ofevory word that is
not perfectly proper. You know
not the tendency OF habitually using
profane language. 1t may never be
obliterated from your heart. When
you grow up you will find at your
tongues end some expression which
you would not use for money. Ii
was one you learned when you were
quite young. Good men have ,been
taken sick and become delirious. In
these moments they used the most
vile indecent language imaginable.
When informed Of it, after restora-
ton to health, they have no idea OF
the pain they had given their friends.
and stated that they had learned and
repeated the expressions in child
hood, and though years had passed
since they had spoken bad word
they had been indelibly stamped up.

SOCIAL HONOR. Every person
should cultivate a nice sense Of hon.
or. In o hundred different ways
this most fitting adjunct Of the true
lady or gentleman is often tried
For instance, one is guest in fam
lily whore perhaps, tho domestic ma
chinery does not run smoothly
There is sorrow in the house unsus-
pectcd by the outer world. Some
times IL is o dissipatcd son whose
conduct is q shame and grief to his
parents, sometimes q relative whose
eccontricities and peculiarities are a
cloud on the home. Or, worst of all,
husband and wife may not be in &C
cord, and there may be often bitter
words spoken, and harsh reerimina-
tions. In any Of these cases the
guest is blind and deaf, 80 far as peo-
pie without are concerned. If a
gentle word within can do any good
it may we'll be said, but to 90 forth
and reveal the shadow Of an unhap-
py secret TO any one, even your
dearest friend, is an act Of indelicacy
and meanness almost unparalleled.
Once in the sacred precincts Of any
home, admitted to it's privacy, shar-
ing it's life, all that you see or hear
should become sacred trust. 1t il
as really contemplate to gossip about
such things as it would be to steal
the silver or borrow the books and
forget TO return them.
