REFORMED HlMsELr.-Florence, the
comedian, tells capital story of wait.
er at one of the London taverns who
was sadly given to drink. A party OF
young men determined to reform him,
and one day they read an imaginary
paragraph from paper relating to a
terrible accident, in which an inebriate
on blowing outs candle, was killed by
the flames igniting with the fumes of
his breath. Jerry pricked up his ears
at this, and requested that the paragraph
might be read to him again, which was
done to the evident horror of the poor
man, who Immediately went in search
of a prayer book. Returning with this
he expressed desire to take solemn
oath upon it, bemoaned the fact that he
had been sorry tippler, and was bring
ing himself to ruin, and then swore that
never again, so long as he lived, would
he attempt to blow out q candle.

A DISTINGUISHED Paris physician says:
II believe that, during the twenty years
| have practiced my profession, twenty
thousand children have been carried to
the cemeteries, a sacrifice to the absurd
custom of exposing their arms. Put
the bulb of a thermometer into baby's
mouth, and the mercury rises to ninety
degrees. Now carry the same to its
little hand; if the arm be bare, and the
evening cool, the mercury will sink to
fifty degrees. Of course. all the blood
that flows through these arms must fall
from ten to forty degrees below the
temperature of the heart Need say,
when these currents of the blood flow
back to the chest, the child's vitality
must be more or less compromised ?
And need | add that we ought not to
be surprised at the frequent recurring
affections Of the tongue, throat, or
stomach? have seen more than one
child, with habitual cough or hoarse-
ness, entirely relieved by simply keep
ing the hands and arms warm.

bedded in water. The roof is one big
tank kept full Of water. Did you ever
hear of water roof before? Instead
of steps to go in, there are shallow
tanks Of water, through which every
one must walk to the door.
In none of these powder houses is
any light allowed except sunlight. The
wages are good, the days work is short,
ending always at three or four o'clock.
But the men have serious look that
makes one think every moment of the
danger and glad to get away.
Though curiosity may take man
once to visit powder mill, he has no
desire to go the second time; and he
feels, all the rest of his life, that for
once he has been very near death.

GETTING RESTED EVERY DAY.

Every person who would live well
should get so thoroughly rested once
every twenty-four hours asto feel bright,
fresh, active and strong. Many do not
do this, but go on feeling tired, over
worked, i'll at ease, sick, never at rest
from morning till night. No course
could be worse. If man wishes to
last reasonable number of years on
this globe, and live in peace and COM
fort, he should get rested every day of
his life. Many resort to stimulants,
when they had better go to bed and to
sleep. Sleep does not always come
easily. The brain sometimes loses the
power to stop thinking when the proper
hour arrives for sleep, but keeps on like
the heart, acting involuntarily. How
can such people get sleep is one of the
most important questions they can con-
slider. Shall they resort to choral n.y.
drate, morphine, tobacco, or, as some do,
ale, beer, or other alcoholic drinks? We
advisenoperson to take poisonous drugs
on his own account, but there are agen-
cies of great value, better for common
daily use than all the drugs in the world,
which every person can learn to use
without harm to himself, provided he is
reasonably intelligent One of these
agencies is water. A tepid sitz bath,
taken just before going to bed, of such
a temperature as shall be agreeable, is
a beautiful sedative for many persons,
them for sleep that is sound
and refreshing 1t may be used for ten
or fifteen minutes, or even longer ifI
agreeable. 1t shonld be taken in warm
room, and such portions of the body as
are not in the water we'll covered with
\ blanket. Still another remedy, and
often more convenient, is mild current
of electricity, continuing from five to
thirty minutes. The positive pole may
be held in one hand, or by means Of a
sponge placed over the stomach and
abdomen, and moved about from point
10 point. while the negative pole may
DC placed at the feet. This is one of
he best methods Of producing condi-
ton favorable TO sleep that is known,
md after little study can be adopted
~ almost any one. Every house should
lave an electrical apparatus, for cleo
richly carefully and wisely used, has
great value for many purposes. Still
mother agent, not yet very well un.
lerstood, and one not to be advised ex-
.cpt it can be given by those who know
Is use, is magnetism, by means of pas
es over the head or simply holding the
lands OF the person to be influenced
still another agent is very short show
r-bath, or hot oot,bath, or holding
he hands, if hot, in cold water; or if
he hands arc cool, holding them in hot
water; or putting cold wet compass
yer the abdomen The two best rem
dies, however, are the sitzbath at BEL
ime and the use of electricity. What
yer is done should be done with judg-
lent and care.

CLAIMING HIS S1srER.-A French paper
says that Lucille Rome, pretty little
girl with blue eyes and fair hair, poorly

Sixth Court of Correction under the
