USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

VEGETABLES seem to be to cattle in the
winter what apples are to boys-welcome
and salutary.
The charter of the Washington Life Sc
cures all the profits to the insured. More
than this canhot be done.
Few things are more necessary to sue
cess in life than Judgment, firmness and
courage. With them a man can rarely
fail; without them he can rarely succeed.
IF an icicle forty-five miles in diameter
We're thrust toward the sun with the We
locity of light-say twelve million miles
minute-it could never touch the sun,
but it would melt as fast as it came.
IT often happens that those are the best
people whose characters have been the
most injured by slanders-as we usually
find that to be the sweetest fruit that the
birds have been reckihg at.
LET THE CHILDREN SLEEP.-Our
bright, active, intelligent American boys
and girls need good deal of sleep. Make
them go to bed early, and then if they can
sleep until breakfast-time let them.
THE more kind we have been to peo-
pie, the more we have done and desire
for them; if it become their interest to
make out case against us, the less well
come will the thought of us be to them,
and the more lightly will they speak of
us.
To PURIFY THE BLooD.-A well known
physician says that he considers the fol-
lowing prescription for purifying the
blood as the best he has ever used. One
ounce yellow dock, one half ounce horse
radlsh, one quart hard cider. Dose, one
wine-glass full four times day.-Rurdl
Neo Yorker.
WHEN carpet is taken up to be clean
ed, the floor beneath is very generally
much covered with dust. This dust is
very fine and dry, and poisonous to the
lungs. Before removing it, sprinkle the
floor with very dilute carbolic acid, to
kill any poisonous germs that may be
present, and so thoroughly disinfect the
floor and render it sweet.
To REMOVE WARTs-Take good indi-
go, such as is used by the laundress; soak
it in water; with knife pare away the
surface of the warts so as to cause the
blood to flow. Wipe off the blood and
drop the indigo water upon them. Very
large ones may require a second applica-
cion. The indigo produces nopain what
ever. have used and recommended this
cure to many persons, and have never
known it to fail but once.-Rural Neu
Yorker
DON'T TAKE Down THE STOVES
Keep fire in the living room night and
morning during the spring. If you have
a good old-fashioned hearth, so much the
better. Keep good fire on it. Nothing
is more pleasant or healthy. But do not
think because you have a fire you must
shut the doors. In most localities, until
the land is better drained, people will suf-
fer more or less from malaria. Hard
work before breakfast should be avoided
as much as possible.
NEVER wear anything in the shape of
clothing that can press upon the blood
vessels so as to impede the circulation.
Put this down as a part of your hygienic
philosophy. No matter what the fashions
may be, insist upon carrying out this
method of dress. Better have a good,
round, plump, healthy body under loose,
slouchy-looking dress, if SO it must be,
than to have a poor, feeble, cadaverous
very nice, we'll padded, well.fitted dress.
Take this fact in, and never let it go out
of your mind. 1t is curious, when one
studies the human body, to see its vitality
expressed for its own preservation, how
it resists any incursion on the vital do
main.-Laacs of Life.
OyER-WoRKING IN SPRING.-The West
ern Fd7aser talks in this sensible way: We
have had long winter, but warm weather
will come sometime. During the present
month we may have succession of bright
warm days-so warm as to be uncom-
Portable. iIany farmers will be a little
behind hand in their work, and will wish
to make good use of all the time. This is
well, but a word of caution may not be
uncalled for. For neither man nor beast
is violent or very severe labor good after
long season of comparative idleness.
The young horse, perhaps first put to hard
work this spring, after standing almost
entirely idle during the winter, fed little
grain perhaps, with his long. thick winter
coat still covering him, fretting under the
unwonted restraint, may seriously iniure
himself by one days overwork. And SO
the farmers boy, coming from the school
room, may bring on sickness, or at least
much discomfort, by the over-exertion of
the first days hard work on warm spring
