Keeping Places.

There are Thousands of young
men and women seeking employ
meut in city and country. On in
quiry, it will be found that they
have had places, but have left them;
and, in many cases, before they can
get another situation their money is
expended, I'd then the temptation
is strong to fall into evil practices,
which too often end in disease, dis
grace and crime. 1t rarely happens
that a person is discharged for en-
ployers are averSe to change, and
often kecppersops who have glaring
faults and defects, rather than risk
getting worse ones. 1t often occurs
that worthy and exemplary persons
are dismissed for shortcomings of
which they are unconscious, and
only need their attention called to
the subject to have them promptly
rcctilied. 10 that vast multitude
Of persons who work for others, the
following suggestions are made:
|. Whatever You attempt, let it |
he done III the very best manner
possible, and each subsequent time
try to do better than before.
>. Be at more pains to do athing |
we'll than to do it quickly.
3. Whenever you are asked to
do a .hing, do it cheertulIy and
promptly.
4. DO whatever is required of
you, whether it is in your line Of
duty or not.
5. Act always in the interest of
your employer as far as right.
6. Do what is wanting to be done,
without waiting to be asked to do
it.
I. Never say, 81 forgotit;" that

0. Never refuse to lend a helping

10. Aim to do as we'll for your

About the year 1909, one Lion
cite, a Spauiard, astonished not only
the ignorant, but chemists and 9TH
er men Of science, by the impunity
with which he handled hot iron
and molten lead, drank boiling oil,
and performed other teats equally
miraculous. While lie was at Ma
pes, lie attracted the attention of
Professor Sementem, who narrowly
watched all Lis operations, endeav-
orins to discover his secret. Sem
cntcm's efforts, after performing
several experiments upon himself,
were finally crowned with success.
He found that by friction with sui
phuric acid, diluted with water, tie
skin might be made insensible to
the action Of the heat of red-hot
iron a solution of alum, evaporat-
ed until it became spongy, appeared
to be still more efectual. After
having rubbed the parts which
were rendered, to some degree incom-
bustiblc, with hard soap, he dis
on the application of hot
iron that their insensibility was in-
creased. He tllcn determined on
again rubbing the parts with soap,
and after this found that hot iron
not only occasioned no pain, but
that it actually did not burn the
hair. Being thus far satisfied, the
professor applied hard soap to his
tongue until it became insensible to
the heat Of THERON ; and after hav-
ing placed an ointment composed of
soap mixed with a solution Of alum
lpon it, boiling oil did not burn it.
While the oil remained OH tic
.ongue a slight Kissing was heard,
similar to that of hot iron thrust |
nto water; the oil sooncooled, and /
vas then swallowed without dan
ser. Several scientific men have
,ince successfully repeated the ex-
pertinent of professor Sementem.-
