1NJUDlCGoCs EARLY RIstNG.--
We caution parents particularly
not to allow their children to be
walked up in the mornings; let
nature wake them up; she will
not do it prematurely; bat have
a care that they go to bed at an
early hour; let it be earlier and
earlier, until it is found that they
wake up in time to dress for break
last. Being walked u early and
being allowed to engage in diff
cult or any studies late, and just
before retiring, has given mauy a
beautiful and promising child
brain fever, or determined ordina-
ry ailments to the production of
water on the brain.--Dr. Hall.

As a farmer living in Madi-
son county, Illinois, was thrcsh.
ing his wheat, the friction set
his machine on fire and entirely
destroyed the threshcr and
stacks Of wheat. The fire
also swept over the entire field,
consuming everything that
came in its way. 1t was with
difficulty that even the horses
were saved.

ANOTHER CURE EoR CoRNS =
Take q little sweet oil, on getting
up in the morning and before re-
firing at night, and rub it on the
corn with the tip of the finger,
keeping the corn well pared down.
This relieves the friction, which
causes corns, and will cure them
in a short time.

To MEND CRACKS IN Stoves
Take wood-ashes and salt, equal
