FALSEHOODS.

One of the mysterious things in this world
is the origin and spread of falsehoods. Few
persons can relate common neighborhood
or street rumor exactly as they heard it.
Fewer persons, it would seem, really desire to
relate it as they heard it. This is more es'
pecially true with regard to rumors that are
injurious or scandalous in their nature. A
purblind man can see microscopic NOTES
in the eyes ofhis neighbor. A man with very
little of what is called the becoming in be-
havior in himself, can see every little wayward
act or false step in his neighbor. By a
process of diabolical involution, these small
notes are increased at every rehearsal, until
they finally become high mountains. BY a
process of addition and subtraction, thing
not very bad in itself, becomes huge in pro-
portions and hideous in appearance.
The dirtiest work in the world is retailing
scandal. 1t is too menial for man of in
tellect it is too low for a gentleman it is toe
sinful for good Christian. One of the
characteristics of good Christian is that he
does not take up an ill report against his
neighbor.

SUMMER DIET FOR INFANTS.

At recent meeting of the Public Health
Association of New York series of resolu-
tions were passed requesting DR.. A. jacob to
furnish for the use of the Association sched-
ule of directions concerning infantile diet in
summer, and to present the same at a future
meeting. On last Friday evening, at the
rooms of the Medical Journal Association,
DR.. jacob responded to the resolution, prefa-
cling his remarks by an elaborate address on
the physiology of infant digestion and food.
The following is the schedule:
Overfeeding does more harm than anything
else; nurse baby of month old or two ev-
cry two or three hours nurse baby OF SIX
months and over FIVE times in twenty-four
hours, and no more.
When baby gets thirsty in the mean time
give it drink of water or barley water. In
very hot weather, mix teaspoonful Of whis.
ky with tumbler full of water (no sugar.
Boil teaspoonful of powdered barley
(grind it in the coffee-g -grinder) and a gill Of
water, with salt, for fifteen minutes. Strain
it and mix it with half as much boiled milk
and piece of loaf sugar. Give it lukewarm
through nursing-bottle.
Keep the bottle and mouthpiece in water
when not in use.
Give babies of five or six months half bar
ley-water and half boiled milk with salt and
loaf sugar.
Give older babies more milk in proportion.
When babies are very costive, take oatmeal
instead Of barley, but be sure to cook and
strain it.
When your breast-mlk is half enough for
the infant, alternate with bread and food
In hot summer weather dip a small piece of
| litmus paper into the food before feeding If
the blue paper turns red, add a pinch of ba-
king-soda to the food
Babies of six months may have beef tea or
beef soup once day by itself or mixed with
other food
Babies of ten or twelve months may have
crust of bread and piece of rare beefsteak
to SUCK
No child under two years ought to eat from
your table.
The summer complaint comes from over
feeding aad hot and foul air. Keep doors
and windows open. Wash your children with
cold water at least twice day. Ten times is
not too many in the hot season.
When babies throw off and purge give them
nothing to eat for four to six hours, but all
the cold air you can. After that you may
give few drops of whisky in teaspoonful
Of ice-water every FIVE or ten minutes, but nc
more, until the doctor comes. When there is
vomiting and purging give no milk.

A BIT OF ADVICE was in a towering
passion and turned and walked rapidly away
from the quay.
"Come here, boy, I've something to say to
you," shouted gruff voice, as moved Oft.
I turned, and observed that the shout was
uttered by rough looking jack-tar, sitting
quietly with his clasp knife.
"Well, what is it?" said l, coming up to
him sulkily.
The man looked at me gravely through the
smoke of his pipe, and said, You're in pas

you didn't know it, thought I'd tell you.

"I THOUGHT EVERY One LOVED THE
B1BLE."-There was once very clever and
learned gentleman, but an in6del-that is,
one who did not believe the Scriptures-and
he was travelling among the mountains and
valleys of Wales. He came to roadside
cottage i'll lonely, lovely spot, and as he was
very tired and thirsty, stopped to ask for a
drink of water. 1t was a little girl he spoke
to, sitting at the cottage door with book
on her knee. She instantly rose and said,
"Will you have cup of milk, sir? for you
are hot, and the cold water would hurt you. -
He was very much pleased with her kindness,
and thought he would like a little chat with
her. So when she came out with the milk,
he said, 81 see you are getting your lesson
there, my dear" "No, sir" she answered ;
II am only reading" "Why, what book p
"The Bible, SIR" "What," said he, half
smiling to himself, as he gave her back the
cup, "do you like that book, then" For a
moment the little maiden did not answer for
surprise; then, lifting her bright eyes to his
face, she said, "Why, sir, I thought that eve
ry body loved the Bible" And the gentle.
man bade the child goodbye, and slowly rode
along. 1 did not know what he was think
ing Of then; but years after, when he had
become true and humble Christian, he used
to tell of that little girl, and say, "And /, too
now that l understand what the Bible is, am
almost as ready to wonder at my question as
she was; for every one who really knows il
must surely love it too.

LIGHT AND THE COMPLEXION.

The action of light on the human skin is
manifest. 1t browns and tans the teguments
by calling out the productions of the coloring
matters they contain. The parts of the body
usually bare, as the skin of the face and hands,
are darker than others. In the same region
country people are more tanned than town
residents. In latitudes not far apart the in
habitants of the same country vary in COM
plexion in measure perceptibly related 10
the intensity Of solar light In Europe three
varieties of color in the skin are distinctly
marked: olive.brown, with black hair, beard,
and eyes; chestnut, with tawny beard and
blush eyes blonde, with fair, light beard and
sky-blue eyes. White skins show more readi-
ly alterations occasioned by light and heat; !;
but, though less striking, facts of variation in
color are observable in others. The Scytho-
Arabic race has but half its representatives in
Europe and Central Asia, while the remain
der passes down to the Indian Ocean, contin.
uing to show the gradual raising of climate by
deepening brown compilations. The Hima.
layan Hindoos are almost white; those of the
Decean, of Coromandel, Malabar, and Ceylon
are darker than some negro tribes. The Arabs,
olive and almost fair in Arminia and Syria,
are deep brown in Yeman and Muscat
The Egyptians, as we 60 from the mouth of
the Nile up stream toward its source, present
an ascending chromatic scale from white to
black and the same is true of the Tuariks, on
the southern side of the Atlas, who are only
light olive, while their brethren in the interior
of Africa are black. The ancient monuments
of Egypt show US fact equally significant.
The men are always depicted of reddish
brown they live in the open air, while the
women, kept shut up, have pale yellow COM
plexion. Barrow asserts that the Mantchoo
Tartars have grown winter during their abode
in China. Remusat, Pallas and Gutzlaff
speak of the Chinese women as remarkable
for European fairness. The Jewesses OF
Cairo or Syria, always hidden under wells in
their houses, have pallid color. In the yell
low races of the Sumatra Sound and the NAL
dives the women, always covered up, are pale
like wax. We know, too, that the Esqui-
maux bleach during their long winter. These
phenomena, no doubt, are the results of sever
al influences arising at once, and light does
not play the sole part in them. Heat ard 9TH.
er conditions of the medium probably have
share in these operations of color. Still,
the peculiar and powerful effect Of luminous
radiation as part of them is beyond dispute.

THE HOUR OF DEATH-Death, in natural
ways, comes to more persons in the neighbor'
hood of five o'clock in the morning than at
any other of the twenty.four; the fewest about
the hour of one in the afternoon. In the ear
ly morning the world is still, the atmosphere
heavy with the damp of the night, and the
body debilitated, often, with the long fast
from supper-time, with nothing to rouse the
spirits or the circulation. At about one o'clock
in the afternoon the air is most generally full
ly dried by the sun, has more life, more oxy-
gen in it, hence it is more purifying, more in
vigorating, while the bright daylight itself has
an elevating, vitalizing tendency. These facts
should be borne in mind by those who are
nurses to the sick; for by extra attentions of
various kinds the critical hour might pass,
and, ,sif so, the patient is more liable to live
over for another twenty-four hours. 1t is said
by observant physicians that each seventh
year of life is critical which means that every
seventh year is liable to be fatal but if that is
passed over with improved health it gives a
reasonably certain lease of another seven
years for example, the most of those who be-
come consumptive do so about the age Of
twenty-one-a yearsooner or later. but twenty
one is the largest average when the disease
becomes decided. About forty-two, the six
times.seven, is by far the most critical time of
life in women. If that is passed healthfully
they have good chance of seeing three.score.
1t will perhaps be found within year or two
including sixty-three than at any other speci-
fed time between forty-nine and seventy.
These things suggest that increased attention
should be given to the health at these critical
periods,

A LITTLE JUDIcIoUs PRAIsE.-No heart
is insensible to words of praise, or the kindly
smile of appreciation; and none are utterly
above being affected by censure or blame
Children are particularly sensitive in this re-
spect. Nothing can discourage child more
than spirit of incessant fault-fnding, and
perhaps nothing can exert more baneful in
fuence upon both parent and child. If your
little one through the day has been pleasant
and obedient, and you say to him, 'my son you
have been good to-day, and it makes me hap
py;" and if, with more than a usual affection
ate embrace, you say, "Good-night, my dear
child" a throb of suppressed feeling fills his
breast, and he resolves on always earning such
approval. Ifyour grown son or daughter has
accomplished some difficult piece of work
rendered you essential assistance, or has
climbed some steep in the daily drill of study
or has acquired some new accomplishment, or
better than all has gained the victory over
some besetting sin, acknowledge it, praise
them for it, Let them see by your tendency
the deep joy and comfort it gives you. Thus
you will create great incentive to right con-
duct, and lay broad foundation for a char,
acter which shall be redolent with succulent
fruit and fragrant blossoms.

STORY OF A STAGE DRIVER.

Ionce knew man who, now in wealth, was
once a stage driver, of whom l will here re-
late an incident:
He was striving to make connection for
the sake of large load of passengers which
he was carrying, and he broke down not far
from the dwelling of an old curmudgeon.
The driver went to borrow his lumber wagon
to take his passengers on with. The man was
absent from home, and his wife refused to lend
the wagon.
"You are perfectly right, madam" said the
driver, "but I must have it. | shall take it
and settle with your husband for it when he
returns"
He took it, and brought it back in good
order. When he came to settle for it, the
man met him fall of anger and laundering
with rage. Aftersom expostulations he said:
81 have come to settle with you for the
wagon"
"Well, you SHALL" said the man.
"What shall pay for the use of it an hour
or two?"
"You shall pay me $780,"
He made no objection to the charge, hand
ed the man $780, shook hands in the best good
nature, and then mounted his coach and drove
of, his passengers protesting against his yield
ing to such an exorbitant demand.
Two or three weeks afterward he found this
man hanging around his boarding place, and
said to him:
"Good morning, sill"
Said the man, II came to see you about
that wagon"
81 thought paid you for it. How much
do you want?"
"That money has burned me ever since |
took it from you. Here is your $50 can't
keep it."
It was with difficulty that he could be made
to take s3-a fair price for his wagon. When
the neighbors heard this story, and looked at
the affair from beginning to end, they said:
"Was it not the best way after all Was
it not beautiful ?"

an earnest plea for his wife and children that
the planters heart relented.

I'll do. You pay me for one-half of the
number of swine you have killed, and sign a
paper not to kill any more, and l will let you
