ONE of the charges for which an artil-

fed that on certain occasion he entered
store in Sitka, Alaska, and, seating him
self on the floor beside an Indian squaw,
took her pipe and smoked it. Such con-
duct was considered unbecoming an
officer and gentleman.

The most inherently improbable story
related for long time is that about the
recovery of a legitimate of the South
Boston Institute for idiots. He used to
live in Canton, and was a bright boy
enough until about two years ago, when
his senses began to fail, and kept failing
until they were gone, and reason speed
lily followed, and the boy, now "drivel-
ing idiot" was taken to the institution.
He has remained there, ever since, a mere
wreck, but a few days ago Mrs. DR..
Brown learned from the boys mother
that when about seven years old he got
his ear full of gravel stones, and these had
never been removed. The lady doctor at
once commedced series of excavations,
and at last accounts had removed twenty
seven pebbles from the boys ear. The
lad is now regaining his senses, and the
joy ofhis parents is inexpressible.

RED LAKE, CHRISTMAS.
DERE MOTHER:
FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Kerosene is the best article ever dis
covered to cleanse rust from CRATES and
fire-irons.
Powdered borax is a sovereign rem
edy for water bugs. 1t never fails when
sifted literally about their haunts.
There is not myrrh, or aloes, or
chloride of lime enough in the world to
disinfect house of such nuisance as a
person of sour, sullen temper.
-Pomade to Prevent Baldness.-Lard,
four ounces; spermaceti, one drachm !;
Lemon juice, six drachms; tincture can
tharides, u drachm. Perfume to taste.
Frosted feet may be cured as follows
White oak bark, taken fresh and boiled
in water to a strong liqAor. Battle the
feet in the liquor. 1t is pronounced the
best of all remedies.
To Render Castor Oil Tasteless.-It
is recommended to first put the dose of
oil in glass, and place upon its surface
quarter of teaspoonful of chloroform,
and swallow the whole. The chloroform
will not harm.
Light in the Room for the Sick.-The
late physician to the Emperor of Russia
made careful study Of the effect of light
as curative agent in the hospital OF st.
Petersburg, He discovered that the num-
Der of patients who were cured in rooms
properly lighted was four times as large
as it was when they were confined in
dark rooms.
Dried Meat for Medicinal Purposes.
The american Journal Of Pharmacy
says: 1t is prepared by Daneucy, of Bor-
deaux, by cutting fresh meat finely,
spreading upon muslin, drying rapidly in
a current of air and rubbing into brown
powder, which is almost inodorous, and
has slightly saline taste. 1t is really
taken by patients, spread upon bread, or
teaspoonful of it mixed with a
cupful of broth or soup, or by children,
if baked into biscuits.
Danger from Wet Clothes-Few per-
sons understand fully the reason why wet
clothes exert such chilling influence.
It is simply this: Water, when it evap-
crates, carries off an immense amount of
heat, in what is called the latent form.
One pound of water in vapor contains as
much heat as nine or ten pounds of liquid
water, and all this heat must, of course,
be taken from the body. If our clothes
are moistened with three pounds of water,
that is, if by wetting they are three
pounds heavier, these three pounds will,
in drying, carry off as much heat as
would raise three gallons of ice-cold
water to the boiling point. No wonder
that damp clothes chill us.-Hand5crqtt.

When the Dark Cometh.

A little girl sat, al, twilight, in
her sick mothers room, busily
thinking. Ali day she had been
full of fun and noise, and had
many times worried her poor
tired mother. agITgh
"Ma,n said the little girl, what
do you suppose makes me get
over my mischier and begin TO
act good just about this time
every nightH oTs Tsaa sdT
81 do not know my dear. Can
you tell me whyg"
well, l guess it's because
this is when the dark comes.
You know | am little afraid of
that. And then, ma, begin to
think Of all naughtyl things 4 We
done to grieve' You, and that per
haps you might die before morn
ing and so | begin to act good"
80 y thought L, ..how many
of us wait till the dark comes, in
the form of sickness or sorrow,
or trouble of some kind, before
We begin to act good. How
much better to be good while We
are enjoying life's bright, sun
sinner and then swheni the dark
comes'-as it will, in a measure,
to alive shall be ready to meet
it without fear"

The Boy to be Trusted.

"What book is that" inquired
a merchant one day of a youth
from the country, who, while
searching his bag for a letter of
recommendation, had let a book
fall on the floor.
"My Bible, sir"
"Your Bible. What are you
going to do with your Bible here
in the city?"
aRead it, sir. l promised my
mother I would read it every
day; and shall do it sir.r'
The firm tone and flashing eye
told the merchant that he had a
boy of principle before him.
He felt that a boy who loved
his Bible after this fashion could
be trusted. He hired him, found
him true and trusty, kept him
many years as a clerk, and final
ly made him his partner.
In this fact you see merchant
taking it for granted that a boy
who loved his Bible after this
fashion could be trusted. He was
right. Mark the point, and tell
me if you find a Bible-hating
boy who can be trusted Isn't it
a fact that boys who hate the
Bible are not trustworthy. l
therefore, You wish to be true
tristy, and trusted. yonA must
love your Bible. With the BIZ
BILE as the rule and guide Of yeur
life, every duty will be perform
cd in a manner well pleasing to
God, and of necessity well pleas :

True way to water Trees.

If trees standing in grass
ground are watered; the surface
around apout the body, for three
feet in each direction, should
be covered with mulch of some
sort, to retard evaporation. 1t
will be labor lost to water trees
on the lawn without exercising
this preeaution, as the water will
disappear before a hundreth part
of it it is reached the roots.
Straw, hay, lawn grass, weeds
shavins or tanbark will make an
excellent mulch. Spread the
mulch threesersfour .inches deep
pour two or three pailsful ofwat-
er around each tree, and the wat
er will permeate the entire soil,
keep it damp, and supply the
moisture which the tree must
have, or die. If the soil is in. a
tillable, condition, draw the earth
awaysffom the tree to the depth
of one ortwoinches, pour in two
or three pails-sf water, land re-
turn the mellow earth, which
will keep the surface from bak-
ing. Yet mulch is far preferable
to the latter mode. -
When the soil appears nearly
dry to the touch, the roots can
not possible derive the needed
supply of water tc keep the
leaves and branches from injury
during the rapid evaporation
which is going on at night and
day. When the atmospherelis as
dry and hot as the air IN a large
lumper-kiln, it Will have the
moisture in every tree and plant
and the moisture of our bodies,
even "if it 1.-THE hot air. has to
take it. ,(the moisture out Of
hides D : Hence;s Eve must drink.
and the roots of the trees and
plants must be supplied with wat
er or they withersand die. %
A great many persons scatter
the grass from their lawns and
the weeds from their gardens in
the highway, which is bad horti-
culture in many respects.
Ifthey would spread such grass
and weeds aro1nd their growing
flower, grass or around any gar
den vegetable, TIE mulch would
save the labor of carrying many
hogsheads of water to supply the
plants withthel necessary Cmois-
ture, and the covering would
keep the weeds down, eand save
a vast deal of labor, and the crops
would be heavler.-Om Home

years old, with long curly locks,

ed. One day my father went in
to the woods to cut up a log, and
| went with him. I was stand
ing a little way behind him, or
rather at his side; watching with
interest the strokes of the heavy
axe, as it went up and came
down upon the wood, sending off
splinters with oeyerys stroke, in
all directions. Some of the spin
tiers fell at my feet, and / eager
sly stopped to pick them up. In
doing 50 / stumbled forward, and
in moment my. curly head lay
upon the log. had fallen just
at the moment when the axe was
Coming down with all its force.
1t was too late to stop the blow.
Down came the axe, I screamed,
and my father fell to the ground
in terror. He could not stay the
stroke and in the blindness which
the sudden, horror caused, he
thought he had killed his boy.
We soon recovered-I from my
fright and he from his terror. He
! caught me in his arms. and look
ed at me from head TO foot, to
find out the deadly wound which
he was sure he had inflicted.
Not a drop of blood nor q : scar
was to be, SEEN He knelt upon
the grass and gave thanks to a
gracious God.a Having done so,
heiteek upahis axe and found a
few hairs upon its edge. He
turned to the log ne had been
splitting, and there was single
curl of his boys hair, sharply cut
through and laid upon the wood.
How great the escapel It was as
if an angel had turned aside the
edge at the moment il was de
scending on my head.
HThat lock he kept ali his days
as a memorial of Gods care and
love. That lock he left to me on
his death-bed. keep it with
care 1t tells me of my fathers
God and mine. 1t rebukes un-
belief and alarm. 1t bids me trust
him forever. l have had many
tokens Of fathers love in my
threescore years and ten, but
somehow this speaks most to my
heart. 1t is the Oldest and per-
haps the most striking. 1t used
tosspeak to my fathers heart; it
now, speaks to mine.'' IS

liEering mercy on the part of our

How it heals his wound and an

the cloud soon passed away. He

uttering silent and fervent
prayer. the expression of trouble

And so many a good man in
