THERE is plenty to do in this world for
every pair of hands placed upon it, and
we must so work that the world will be
richer because of our having lived in it.
A WRITER in the Scientific American rec

facing oil stones: Put thin coat of glue
on a dressed white pine board; when dry
put on another; sprinkle coarse emery on
the glue, rubbing it in well, and, after dry
ing, put on another coat of glue and em-
cry. Such a rubber will speedily reface
the hardest stone.
WE stand and make mouths, like pouting
children, because, forsooth, we are not in
some other body's shoes; when the fact OF
the case is, if we only knew it, we are be-
leaguered with golden opportunities. ex-

conscious superiority but assert itself,
and they will come sneaking forth from
their skulking places to wait our behests.

COMMON plaster will keep worms off of
currant and gooseberry bushes. Sow it
on while the bushes are wet; if it rains
and washes off, you must put on again,
and keep putting on as often as washed
of, until worms disappear, which will be
in a week, more or less. have kept them
off of my bushes three years with the
above simple remedy. Hellebore isn't a
circumstance to plaster.-COr. Rural Ne'o

NEW METHOD OF REPRODUCING DRAW
INGs.-According to M. Renault, of Paris,
if a drawing be made on strong glazed
paper with glutinous ink, and the lines
be afterward covered with a metallic
powder (the bronze powder of commerce)
and if the drawing thus prepared be
pressed upon sheet of sensitized paper,
the lines of the original drawings are re-
produced in black by the chemical action
of the pulveriZed metal upon the sensi-
tive paper. By softening the ink with
the vapor of alcohol and renewing the
bronze when it is exhausted, many i'm
pressions may be produced.
A MICHIGAN correspondent of the

| AN exchange, remarking on the chatting
of the breasts of horses, says: The com.
mon practice of using pads or sheepskin
under the collar is Objectionable, especial
lates heat and makes the breast tender
A better way is, to take piece of thick
and smooth leather, cut it out just the
size of the collar, or little wider, and lei
it lie flat on the neck and shoulders oi
the horse. This will lie still and smooth
on the horses neck, while the collar it
self moves about, and so it will prevent
chatting In addition to this, let the
breasts of working horses be washed of
every night with clean water.
IT is injurious for child to associate
too much with persons of mature age
Children need companions about theil
own age; and the parents of an only chile
have, in many respects, more difficult
task than those who have half a dozen
In large family the little folks help tC
'bring up" one another. The elder assis
the younger; and each one is naturally
made to feel that the others have right:
and preferences as well as himself The
habit of considering the preferences Of
others, and of kindly yielding to them, is
thus easily formed. But solitary child
fails to receive this important training
and, moreover, is likely to become pre-
maturely old in feeling and thought from
constant association with adults.
DRINKING is a habit. Some people
drink little, not because their constitution:
require less than others; it is their habit
These people never perspire so much as
those who drink more. The more that il
drank, the more water passes away, ol
the system would suffer. As it is, the
strain affects it. The skin, the kidneys
bowels, lungs, are all drawn upon. The
result is, as may be expected, exhaustion
For this reason the man who drinks mucf
water, particularly during the summer
and in the hottest weather, is less able tC
endure fatigue. The water is of no bene
fit to him-that is, the excess. 1t mus

the system, which is the sweating pro

much; false thirst is created. We should
drink only what is needed. The habit Of
drinking more will soon be overcome
and the person will feel much strongel
and more capable of bearing fatigue. Ii
