Prepare for Gold Weather.

Now that winter is approaching, it
behooves parents more than ever to see
that their children are clothed in such a
manner as to protect them from the in
clemency and sudden changes OF the
weather. The chief cause OF infantinc
mortality, in addition to foul air, or too
poor food, is the false pride Of many
mothers. Children are killed by the
manner in which they are dressed as GER
tainly as by any other cause. In our
changeable climate children of the most
tender age are left with bare arms and
legs, and with low-neckcd dresses. The
mothers, in the same dress, would Shiver
and suffer with cold, and expect Il fit of
sickness As the result of their culpable
carclessness. And Yet the mothers could
endure such treatment with far less
danger TO health and life than their ten
der infants can. 4 moments reflection
will indicate the effects of this mode of
dressing, or rather want of dressing, on
the child. The moment the cold air
strikes its bare arms and legs, the blood
is driven from these eXtremities TO the
internal and more vital organs. The re-
suit is congestion, to a greater or less eN-
tent of those organs. In warm weather
the heat viii bring on affections of the
bowels, and this mode of dressing may
be reckoned one of the chief causes of
summer complaints. But in cold weather
congestion and Inflammation of the
brain and lungs are the result. 1t is
painful to see children thus dressed like
victims for sacrifice.

Mental VS.. Social Culture,

Many young people are already in
quiring: "How shall we spend these
long evenings - Winter is the best time
for social, intellectual and moral culture.
Opportunities will not be wanting dur
ing the next six months for social i'm
provement. Singing parties, and vari-
ous entertainments will often bring
young people together. Their social
nature will no doubt be cultivated. The
danger is that the mind will be neglected.
Most men are more sociable than in
telligent.
Whatever else you may do this winter,
do not fail TO read number of good
books. Acquire the habit of reading
spend two or three evenings each week
in storing your mind with useful knowl-
edge; read History, Biography, Mental,
Moral and Physical science; a novel Oc-
casionally, three year will be enough,
but be careful to select those of stand
ard authors.
The social qualities of our young men
and women are highly spoken of by
people from abroad. They will certain
ly bear an enviable reputation if they
cultivate equally well their mental and
moral natures. Physical power de-
creases as we advance in life, but men
tai power should increase. You will
learn to enjoy reading by reading.

will make it most agreeable"

AurOraI,

The frequency of auroral yisitatiOns
is not one of the least remarkable of the
meteorological phenomena of the year.
The coincidence of these displays in
point of time with the extraordinary
changes now in progress on the surface
of the sun has been noted, but whether
there is relation between them of cause
and effect is question that may well oc-
eupy the attention of scientists.
In other respects the year has been 4
remarkable one. The weather record at
Yale College shows that not only was
the temperature of the four months end
ing with September higher than for the
corresponding months of any year since
1853, but also the aggregate fall of rain
during the same months was less than
half the average, and smaller than in
the corresponding period of any year
since the record Of the rain tall was
commenced at New Haven in 1901.
Whether this heat, this dryness, this
abundant electricity and the solar per-
tllrbations in the upper regions of the
air are all attributable to common
cause, or whether they are in any way
related, are the problems the year pre-
sents TO science.

Autumn Musings.

The summer has passed its climax,
and its gradual decadence into the
brown and pensiye autumn is perceptible
to the eye as well as to the sense of feel
ing. As the human being passes
through the busy term of middle life
into the calmcr Years of sober maturity,
so the year is passing through the time
of growth and increase into season of
abundance and the gathering in of the
rich rewards of toll and industry. 1t is
the turning-point in the year, from
which we may look back upon the first
cheering days of early spring, unlock
ing the frozen streams, and causing the
tender grass to shoot upward from the
softening earth: then the warmer days
of May and June, unfolding the buds
and blossoms, spreading out the fra
grant roses, and bringing the tuneful
birds back from their wintry exile to
cheer us with their sprightly song; then
the hot and sultry summer, with its
busy hum of insects and echoing sounds
of rustic life, its days of honest toll and
nights of cool refrcshment. And then
We pause and look forward through the
rich tinted months of September, Octo-
ber and November, when the gorgeous
hues of the forest, gradually changing
into the "sere and yellow leaf" proclaim
the sure approach of storm and icy WIN
ter.
And so it is in life. While man en-
joys in middle age the fruits of toll in
earlier life, he instinctively looks on
ward through the vista of declining
years into the approaching period of old
age. And now as his sun sinks toward
the horizon, memory's heightened shall
ows admonish him that his day is draw
ing to an end, and that the sleep of death
awaits him. But the good man, who
can look back upon life well spent,
there is a glorious prospect beyond the
grave. Even as the sun of the coming
spring will surely awaken all nature to
renewed life, so will the righteous dead
be quickened into everlasting life by the
Sun of Righteousness, even he who was
dead and is risen again, and who is alive
for eyermOre.

Lecture on Jerusalem.

On last Thursday evening according
to notice, Rev. Joseph Hutchinson de-
liyered lecture on What saw in Je-
rusalm." Notwithstanding the heavy
shower of rain just before lecture hour,
the Town Hall was filled with am inter-
esting and appreciative audience. Mr..
Hutchinson began with his entry into
Jerusalem, and gave in detail the full
particulars of all he saw. The popula-
ton of the present city is about $4,000,
and is under the authority of the Turks,
who prohibit Christians and Jews from
entering many of the places of sacred
interest.
Among the many places of interest
which he mentioned, was the Mosque
of Omar-the Church of the Holy Sep
ulchre- the Pools of Siloam- and
Bethesda-Mount of Olives-Place of
CrucifiXion, &C., &c. The lecture was
interesting from beginning to end. In
teresting, as it gave minute descrip-
ton of those old scenes and transac-
tions. Mr.. Hutchinson has agreed to
deliver another lecture on next Monday
evening in the Town Hall. His subject
that evening will be "Life and Scenes in

Flax Mill Burned,

The Flax Mill of J. c. kurtZ, near
Wooster, was burned to the ground last
Thursday morning between three and
four o'clock. The fire caught in the
lower floor. All the contents of the
Mill were burned. The machinery is all
destroyed. This is the second time this
Mill has been destroyed by fire. 1t is
supposed to be the work of an incendi-
ary. We understand Mr.. Kurtz intends
rebuilding Immediately.

We have received from r. W. Bliss &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, beautiful volume OF
six hundred and fifty pages, finely illus
trated with two hundred and thirty-four
Engravings, just brought out by them.
entitled the 'Innocents Abroad, or The
New Pilgrims Progress:'' which is
from the pen of that most inimitable
and entertaining writer, mark Twain.
Criticism of the work is almost irnposs-
ible; As sufficient gravity of counte-
nance for the purpose, can hardly be
maintained over the volume. To think
of, or look at it, is to smile, but to read
it is to overwhelm all criticism with un-
comfortable laughter.
1t is truly an original affair, and does
credit to its author. He treats of sub
jects of which we supposed we were
fully acquainted in such a manner that
we come to the conclusion finally that
we are swallowing sugar-coatcd statis-
tics, and are aware that we are digesting
much useful and important information,
learning facts we never knew before,
getting glimpses of scenes and places
from entirely new stand-points, and
catching new and quaint ideas, expressed
in the most original and funny manner.
Altogether the Book is Il good one
one we can heartily recommend to our
readers. 1t is pure in morals, and just
the thing for fire-side reading.
1t is beautifully illustrated with two
hundred and thirty-four fine Engrav-
ings, which add great value'to the Book.
The Publishers have certainly done their
part well, and given to the public a
handsome volume.
Buy this Book, say We, and our word
for it you will not regret the outlay.
The work will be sold by subscription
only, and canvassers for it are wanted in
every town in the County. This pre-
sents a rare opportunity for all who
need employment, to enter into light
and agreeable occupation, that must be
very remunerative. Those fortunate
enough to secure an Agency for it, will
be sure to get large returns, as the book
will be wanted by the whole people, and
must and will have an immense sale.
Applications should be made to r. w.

Last Monday evening was halloween
The boys, as is usual on that night, en-
jOyed (?themselves in pulling cabbage,
rolling barrels about, transferring store
boxes from place to place, unhinging
gates, separating wheels and aXles and
distributing them about in general.
Halloween is the name given to the
evening preceding "All Hallows" or the
"Day of All Saints How it came TO
be thus perverted, we know not.

Our Band.

The Millersburg Silver Cornet Band
is one of the hest i'm the State. 1t dis
courses sweet music now and then to
the great delight of our citizens. Our
townspeople might well be proud of
such an organization. We see no
reason why another one should not be
organized, which would have tendency
to stimulate the present organization to
greater efforts even toward perfection.
We hope some of our German citizens
will take hold of it. There is plenty of
good musical talent among them to
form first-class band. Let our musi-
clans think of this.

Fine Discourse.

Being in Wooster over Sabbath We
went to hear DIR. Lord preach in the
University Chapel, in the afternoon.
The service was an extra one, being ap-
pointed at 3 o'clock i'm order that other
churches might attend. Between five
and six hundred people We're present.
The Doctor took for his text the words ::
"Wickedness burneth like fire" His
remarks were clear and consise, showing
that sin if persisted in would ruin the
body, mind and soul.

Mistake.

We advise all who go out hunting these
times, to be very careful that they do not
take domestic fowls for wild ones. A
party of three gentlemen from town mis-
took some turkeys and chickens in the
yard of one of our farmers, for wild
turkeys, prairie chickens or something
else, and succeeded in slaughtering sew
eral before the man of the house (his
family being all away from home) could
come from the corn field and informed
them that they were entirely mistaken,
that those were his poultry.

Cash system.

The principal grocers of Akron held
meeting one evening last week and
unanimously resolved to abandon en-
TREY the credit system, and allow no
gr cries to 60 out of their stores un-
less paid for. This undoubtedly is the
only true way to do business if it could
be carried out strictly, but we doubt very
much whether it will succeed until all
other branches of business do the same.
1t would be fine thing if this state of
affairs could be brought about.

Red Saques are extremely fashionable
this season here, as well as elsewhere.
There is scarcely a moment in the day
