How to Mend the World.

''My dear good mother used to say, if we
would find fault with people less, and pray
for them more, it would do them more good
and ourselves too.
So said my friend, and l fancied that in
this saw one secret of her life. Of course,
l do not know what her prayers may have
been, for her prayers, like her aims, were in
secret; but she certainly found fault with
people very little. And if she followed one
part of the precept, it is fair to infer that
she did the other also.
It reminded me of the man who exclaimed,
81 have tried everything with that boy; l
have tried indulgence and severity, coaxing
and kindness, and scolding and whipping,
and nothing does any good"
"Have you tried praying for him."
Somehow, after a little while, the boy
grew better, and his parents more in sympa-
thy with him.
But then we believe in praying for our
children.
Let US consider the rest of the world; any
one who seems wrong, any one who troubles
you, or who ought in some way to be differ
ent OF to be better.
You may not be able to talk to him or
her; it will never do to talk of him, against
him.
What is left but to pray?

The Worth and Power of Small Schools.
What is left but to pray?

1t is pleasant to see large Sunday
School, we'll appointed, and in commOdious
and convenient rooms. Many of the church
aud mission schools best known in the land,
comprise from FIVE hundred to two thousand
scholars each, and have costly and extensive
accommodations. Doubtless one cause of
the prominence and power of these schools
is to be fonnd in the enthusiasm of their
numbers and the attractiVeness of their
quarters. Yet, after all, the Sunday Schools
which are most useful and important the
country through are small schools, meeting
in limited and poorly furnished rooms. The
great majority of children and youth of the
United States are not in the cities and man
ufaoturing centres, but in the rural districts.
They cannot be clustered in schools of one
thousand, FIVE hundred, or even always of
one hundred scholars. Many of them can
only Be gathered by the one, two, or three
score in a single school, and that in small
church buildl. 2, or in the neighborhOod
school-house. Probably more than one-half
of the Sunday School membership Of this
country is gathered in schools of less than
one hundred scholars. And these schools
reach the children who are most dependent
on this agency for religious influence and
instruction. They occupy the important
outposts, guarding the interests of those
massed in the rear, and extending the lines
of the army they represent. They are the
true evangeHsts doing the missionary work
without which the Church could never gain
or grow. But for the small Sunday Schools
of the land, the large ones would be of little
service: and if the choice must be made, it
were better to scatter every Sunday School
of more than one hundred scholars, than to
abandon those Of from twenty to fifty EACH
Let not then the teachers in small country
Sunday Schools uudervalue their work and
sphere in comparison with the more promi
nent, but not more important, schools which,
in great centres of population, gather large
numbers under single organization, but
in the aggregate reach only fraction of
the children of the land. The station Of
greatest usefulness and honor, if any dis
tinctions are TO be made, is in the little Sun
day School on the frontier, or IN stray
corner among she nils, which is all in all to
the children of its rhinly settled neighbor-

Hints for Young Mothers.

The three requisites for babies are plenty
of sleep, plenty of food, plenty of flannel.
The saying that man is bundle of habits
is true of babies as it is of grown children.
If an infant is accustomed from its birth to
sleep from six o'clock at night till daylight,
the habit of early sleep will be formed, and
the mother may have all her evenings to her
self. If the baby sleeps all night, long
morning nap will naturally come about din
ner time, after which the child, except when
very young, should be kept awake till SIX
o'clock. Perseverance in this routine will
soon result in securing quiet evenings for
both child and parent. Some mothers have
long season every morning, and every
night, in getting the baby asleep. They
rock them and sing them till Morpheus en-
folds them. With most children this is en-
tirely unnecessary. An infant can be &C
customed by few days training to go to
sleep itself for a morning nap as well as for
the longer rest at night. A mother has du-
ties to herself as well as to her offspring
While she should exercise a constant care
in securing its utmost physical comfort, she
should secure rest and recreation for herself.
In no other way can she keep fresh in feel
ing and buOyant in spirit. Nothing is SO
wearing as the unceasing tending of fretful
habv Every means should be employed to
ak q in taking care of itself and
giving as little trouble as possible. It may
learn in babyhood to amuse itself with toys
or by watching movements going on around
it. Fashion as well as good sense requires
infants dresses to be made with long sleeves
and high in the neck. Fashion require;
children of all ages to be warmly clad
Flannel should encase the whole body, with
the exception of the head and hands The
fruitful cause of collie in infants is the naked
ness of their necks and arms. Regularity
in feeding is as important as either of the
other requisites. Babies cry as often IRON
being overfed or fed too frequently as from
hunger. Let the mother obey the dictates
of common sense in this matter and no
force food into baby's stomach for every
little complaint it makes. Children of three
and four years old need much more sleeE
than they usually have. For irritable an(
nervous children sleep is specific, and i
can be secured to them only by force o
habit. Many light forms of disease may be
cured by keeping child in uniform TEN
perature and in quiet Let young mOther
experiment on these suggestions, and we arr
sure they will have many an hour in tn,
nursery for reading and thought.

Sunstroke.

DR.. Horatio c. Wood, Jr., has published
his excellent paper on the subject of sun8troke
founded upon some observations and expert
ments undertaken by him with the view of
Calculating the phenomena. After showing
that in cases of sunstroke the blood under
goes no primary changes in It's physiological
or chemical properties, Dr. Woods next step
was to ascertain why the heart and muscles
are found so rigid after death from sun
stroke, and what it is that really kills in this
affection. But subjecting myosine to differ
ent temperatures, he found that this sub
stance coagulated with great rapidity from
1852 to 1150 F., and the temperature of the
body in cases of sunstroke often reaches
110o F., at the time of death. But the
heart is found to continue to beat in animals
dead of sunstroke-at any rate dead in the
sense that they had ceased to respire The
rightly of the cardiac muscles then is post,
and not an ante-mortem phenomenon. As
some experiments by DIR. Wood proved that
heat applied to a nerve trunk would not de
stroy its conducting power, his further in
vestigation was directed to the action of heat
on the nerve centres By some ingenious
appliances, hot water was made to circulate
over the surface of an animals head, and it was
found that sudden insensibility, and ultimate
ly death from asphyxia could always be IN
duced at certain temperatures. A brain
temperature of from 1120 to 1140 was fatal
to cat, and one of 1140 to ITO to a rab
bit. Owing to the possession of more
highly organized brain, it is probable that
in man a less degree of heat would produce
the same set of symptoms. The mechanism
of an attack of sun8troke then, according to
DR.. Wood, is that under the influence of
external heat the temperature of the body
rises until at last a pointiS reached at which
the heat paralyzes, by Over-stimulation, the
controlling centreregulating animalheat; then
a sudden additional rise of temperature, with
a corresponding increase in the severity of
the symptoms occurs" Of course cold is
the remedy, and cold water the readieSt way
of applying it. 1t is great mistake, says
the Lancet, to suppose that these cases are
commonly due to the action of the direct
rays Of the sun, for in India, as in America,
attacks are very frequent at night. One of
the main things to be attended to is, as we
have said before, the function of the skin by
the daily use of the bath.

Immense Orange Groves.

The New Orleans Pcdyune says: The largest
and finest orchard in Plaquemues is that of Mr..
bingham Lawrence, on his Magnolia sugar plan
tation, opposite Pointe.a- la Hache, which yields
him an income in the bloom of fifteen or twenty
thousand dollars year. From his orchard, for
the distance of thirty miles below, along the right
bank, is one unbroken cluster of orange groves.
Another fine orchard is that of Mr.. Fasnacht, on
the left bank, further up the river, at his Orange
Grove" plantation. The orchards located on the
right bank are, however, more sure of yield than
those on the left bank. The yield of good tree
will average about one thousand oranges, which,
at five cents apiece, realize the very handsome
amount of fifty dollars to the tree. The grover,
however, does not receive any such profit. The
crop is sold to the fruit monopoists of the city,
while the tree is in bloom, who guard, gather and
transport the fruit to market at their own expense
The owners of orchards do not receive more than
one and half cent to single orange, or fifteen
dollars to a tree yielding one thousand oranges.

produce better crops, and thereby prevent waste
of time and labor A man should never put more
than half his capital into land, no matter how
much or how little he may have. We can offer no
better proof of this widespread evil Of owning
more land than can be judicously cultivated, than
the average yield of any of our principal farm pro-
ducts. The average yield of corn, for instance, IN
some of the Middle and Southern States, is not
above ten bushels per acre. and in Illinois seldom
above twenty while those farmers who plant only
on good, rich land. and attend to the culture IN
these same localities, obtain from fifty to one hun
dred bushels per acre. These results prove concu'
syely. that thousands of acres are annually planted
with this grain. and the labor expended thereon is
almost, if not entirely, wasted The same is true
in regard to all kinds of grain cultivated IN this
country man starts out in spring to plant
twenty of corn, when really ne has not sum
cient help to put in ten, and the result is very
small return for the labor expended, and less corn
than would have been obtained upon ten acres,
with seventy-fve per cent. of the capital expended
thereon. Manure is wasted by being spread so
thinly over large surface of ground that the ben
eft is scarcely to be perceived while If less area
received the entire amount, it would not only bring
immediate and large increase 10 the crop grown,
but be permanently enriched: :,
We frequently hear the old story OF untavorable
weather. and that the wheat suffers for want OF,
or a superabundance of moisture; which means
simply that the soil has been hurriedly prepared
for the reception of the seed being neither worked
deep, SUBSIDIZED, under drained, nor otherwise put
in proper condition to insure good crop, in ia
vorabe or unfavorabe seasons. Meadows and pas
lures fail from the same cause, and climate comes
in for all the blame If land owners could be per-
suaded to sell one-half their real estate, and ex
pend the amount obtained on the other halt, they
might obtain greater profits and more leisure hours.
Money and labor are wasted in fearful amounts
upon poor stock and cheap implements, as well as
upon poor lands and light crops of grain; in fact,
we are nation of spend-tbriftS, although few are
willing to confess it in their own case, but can read
lily see that some neighbor is sailing in the boat we
have described NeU York San.
