''Your Bible! What are you going 10 do

"Read it, sir. promised my mother would

chant that he had boy Of principle and grit
before him. lie felt that boy who loved his
Bible after this fashion could be trusted. He
hired him, found him true and trusty, kept him
many years as clerk, and finally made him
his partner.
In this fact you see a merchant taking it for
granted that boy who loved his Bible after this
fashion could be trusted. He was right. Mark
the point, and tell me if you find Bible hating
boy who can be trusted. Isn't il fnct that bows
who hate the Bible are not Trustworthy? If.
therefore, you wish to be true trusty, and trust.

A SIMPLE REMEDY Blower, OF
Liverpool, states tina, be has, for the past
twenty years, employed compressed sponge
very successfully IN the treatment of in
growing nails. His method is to render
the sponge compact by wetting, and then
tying 1t tightly until il is thoroughly dry.
A bit of the sponge, in size less than o
grain of rice, is placed under the nail and
secured by strips Of adhesive plaster. In
this way the point Of the nail is kept up
from Tho toe until the surrounding soft
parts are restored to their normal condition
by appropriate means. OF course there is
no pain in this remedy, and its application
requires only ordinary skill.
