A country girl once went to the city to
pay visit to one of her oldest and best
friends this friend was married TO a rich
city merchant, and was leader of
fashion. In city etiquette, of course, the
visitor was verdant, and made numerous
mistakes. Her friend wished to initiate
her fully into the mysteries" as they
were going to large ball. gave her the
following instructions, viz Eat one
small cake and one saucer of ice cream,
and when your attendant presses you to
take more, answer that you have masti-
Gated suficiency, and more would be a
superfiuity." Things went on smoothly
until her attendant asked her TO partake
of more refreshments, when to the horror
of her friend and amusement of the
company, she answered in loud voice J:

more would go fippity- foppity.

CoRNs.-Hard corns are caused by too
much pressure of the shoe or its being so
loose as to slide back and forth on the
spot where the corn atterward shows
itself Medical books record several
cases where pairing hard corn has
caused a bleeding, which no known
means could arrest, and death ensued
Nothing harder than the finger nail ought
ever to be allowed to touch corn, which
can always be cured, or kept from caus-
ing inconvenience, by simply bathing
the part in warm water for half an hour
in succession; often a single bathing will
accomplish the object of so softening the
parts aiacept to the actual corn that it
can be picked out with the finger nail,
and the shoe can be instantly worn with
out discomfort, which an hour before
gave great pain it may return in week,
or month, or year, but the same treat.

them to spread and take deeper root
Another plan is to take two or three
thicknesses of buckskin, and cut hole
in the center, and bind it on the toe in
such way as to make the corn fill up
the hole, this relieves the corn from
pressure, and in few days, especially in
warm weather, the kernel will drop out
Of itself.
Soft corns are very troublesome, but
are sometimes removed by patiently
bathing them in strong alum water night
and morning.
1t is much better to know safe and
inexpensive way of doing things, that it
is really worth while to teach these
methods to every child in the household.

''No matter" rejoined Aston, q de-

They did so. Aston then said in a
loud voice, 81 have been in Ireland, and

went on:
"The Irish being born in bogs, are

A Tooth Story.

ANCE upon time there was young
" lady who had three pretty new
teeth in her mouth. She bought them
of "a dentist, and they weie fastened to a
beautiful patent vulcanzed rubber plate.
This young lady could eat almost any
thing with her new teeth, and she felt
very proud of them They were so use
full, and looked so well when she smiled.
One day she was eating dinner just as
fast as she could and she got choked with
piece Of bone. Then she ran into the
woodshed and coughed until the tears
came into her eyes, and her father came
out and pounded her shoulders, and her
mother made her drink pint Of water,
and finally, she got better but alas her
new teeth were gone. So, herself, and
her mother, and her two sisters, and her
big brother, and the servant girl, and the
neighbor's little boy looked all over the
woodshed for those teeth but they could
not find them. Then The young lady
was scared, aud she said to her mother
90 mother felt something hard in my
throat when | drank that water, and |
have swallowed my teeth and | shall die
| know shall die-and what shall
do?" That scared the mother, and she
put the young lady to bed and sent foi
the doctor. Well the tech made hel
very sick. You know how thin people
sometimes get from the knawings of re

of three patent porcelain teeth would b.

"How Good Z IS thai we have God w

A LITT.IM boy Of four years old, was
IN. sleeping one night, in low bed in
the same room with bis mother lie was
a lovely and thoughtful child, and though
so young, had always received 10 his mind
the idea OF the great God who made him,
and rules over all He was happy in
having been taught to pray to this great
God, and was daily in the habit Of asking
what he most wanted Of his heavenly
Father, without doubt.
But this night of which / speak, he
awoke out of his sleep with a loud cry as
if he had been disturbed by frighaful
Dire N. When his mother tenderly in
quireG what was the matter; he told her
that he was afraid, and begged 10 know
if GOO would indeed take care Of him.
When his mother assured him, that
God would take care OF him in the dark
ness as well as in The light, he sunk back
upon his pillow, and sighed out, How
good it is to have a Cod" lie then fell
asleep peacefully, as if he felt ,he ever

back, and take first lesson from this lit

When the way is dark before them,
aud those trials come upon them which
they had every reason to expect, and
which they need for their sanctifca-
tion, instead of complaining, let them
cast themselves upon the care Of him who
is mighty to save, and say to their hearts,
q" How good it is that We have God"
So when the hour of death comes, the
darkest hour OF all, Christians may be
sustained by the thought that comforted
the Gear Child in that dark night; and
falling back on Che boaom OF Jesus, may
sink to rest, exclaiming, &" How good it is

WOmanly MOGesty.

Man loves the mysterious. A cloud
less sky, full-blown rose leave him un-
moved, but the violet hides its blushing
beauties behind the bush, and the moon
when she energies from beneath & cloud,
are 10 him sources OF inspiration and
pleasure. Modesty is TO merit what shade
is TO figures in painting-it gives it bold
ness and prominence. Nothing adds
more to female beauty than modesty, it
sheds around the countenance halo Of
light, which is borrowed from virtue.
Botanists have given to the rosy hue
which tiuges the cup Of the white rose
the name of g Maiden's blush This
pure and delicate hue is the only paint
christian virgin must use, it is the rich
est ornament. A woman without mod
esty is like faded flower dihusing an
unwholesome odor, which the prudent
gardner will throw from him. Her des-
tiny is melancholy, for it terminates i'll
shame and repentance. Beauty passes
like the aower Of The albo which blooms
and dies in afew hours but modesty gives
the female character charms which sup
ply the place of the transtory freshness
Of youth.

match and on the result OF this match
was to depend the honor OF possessing the
silver bell for the next twelve months,
the successful captain bearing it away
suspended from his hat. As for other
metals, besides copper, tin and silver, it
is known that steel anG iron are OCCASION
ally used for church bells. Such bells
have been cast in Westphalia, at Shelf
field, and at Dundyvan, near Glasgow.
Steel bells are lighter and cheaper than
those of bell-metal, and yield rich aud
brilliant tone but the sound is said to be
unable 20 penetrate to q great distance.
Cast-iron, with the addition of little tin,
has been tried but the alloy was far too
brittle Glass bells, aud wooden bells,
are also talked about but we do not see
how the former could bear any hammer
ing or clapperin, nor how the latter could
yield sound worth hearing. One of
the missionaries of Fiji, however, has de-
scribed bell or sounding instrument
made from the followed trunk Of a tree,
like trough, and placed ION coil Of
rope or some other elastic mess on the
ground when struck at one end with q
mallet, it gives out stiAed roar, which
we are told could be head twelve miles
off.

The Human Cody.

The muscles OF Che human jaw exert
force of 534 lbs. The quantity OF pure
water which blood contains in its natural
state is very great; amounts TO almost
seven eights. J4iel estimates the surface
of the lungs at l59 square feet, and the
blood is q fifth the weight of the body.
A man is taller in the morning than at
night, to the extent of half an inch or
more, owing to the relaxation Of the
cartilages. There is iron enough in the
blood Of forty-two men to make plough
share of twenty-four pounds Or therea-
bouts. The human brain is the twenty
eigth part of the body, but in the horse
the brain is not more than the four hun
dredth.

Bell Mel.

FANHL sound OF a bell depends, Of
Il course, on many different crcum-
stances Of condition. One of these is the
metal of which the bell is composed
The mixed metals of alloy illustrate in an
instructive way the differences OF quality
which result from difference in the pro-
portion Of ingredients. Copper and tin
produce the metal bronze in other pro-
portions they yield speculum metal, for
making the brilliantly white renectors
of telescopes while in other proportions,
again, they furnish bell-metal. The Chi
nese in their gongs, and the Europeans
in their bells, have seen reason to en-
ploy pretty near the same kind of metal.
There is always much more copper than
tin but every bell-founder has his fa-
vorite receipt in this matter. Some
adopt simply four Of copper to one of tin !;
some thirty-two copper to niue Of tin.
Big Ben has about twenty-five of copper
to seven of tin, Mr. Layard fouSd at
Nineveh, bells which had as much as ten
parts copper to one OF tin. 1t is, there
fore evident that no very great amount of
exactness is necessary an this matter. 1t
is considered, iu general way, that an
extra dose Of tin improves the sound, but
renders the alloy more brittle the foun-
der, therefore, establishes balance Of ad-
vantages according to his Judgment and
experience When Il large bell is au-
nealed very slowly, the sonorous quality
of the mass is improved.
Bell-metal, though the most general, is
not the only material for bells. Some
times little lead arsenic or zinc is
added to the copper and tin. 1t used to be
favorite idea that silver thrown into the
melting furnace, improved the tone OF
bell. in casting the tenor-bell OF La
venham Church, the neighboring gentry
after drinking of the toast of " Church
and King" out of silver tankards, threw
the tankards into the melting-pot Sim,
liar bells have often been made of silver
alone, as if to justify, or TO be justified
by the allusion to " silvery tones" Al
the Strawberry Hill sale in 1912, one o
the lots consisted of very beautiful sill
yer bell made by Benvenuto Cellini
for Pope Clement the Seventh its ex
terror was chased or sculptured with ,
profusion Of Lizards, grass-hoppers, flies
and other reptiles and insects; and its in

this subject was the bequest of silve
