ANY TIME.

ANY time, like a note on demand
means no time. A frlen d says, come
and sec me. You ask. "When will
you be at home ? O, any time," is
the reply. You call, and your friend
is out, or is not prepared to receive
you. How often we hear persons
say, "Come and take tea with u.s."
"When shall I come ?" 30, any
time" You go a little before the
hour for tea you sit with your
things on, because you are not asked
to take them Oft of course you are
not going to say, have come to tea,
and as nothing is said about it by
your host, and no signs appearing to
show that you are expected to stay,
you rise to depart; not word is
said about tea the commonplace in
vitAtion is given, "Call again" and
you leave with the feeling that peo-
pie don't mean it when they invite
YOU to come to tea. The same is
true ninety nine times in a hun
dred, when we were chided because
we don't call. At is mot sincere we
are not wanted. When people are
an trouble, or sick, or poor, then a
friendly call is acceptable,and is often
a blessing. But calling upon people
when they are busy or otherwise en-
gagged is a nuisance, and mere formal
calls are fraud. The caller says
81 must call on Mrs. Blank it is
two weeks since she gave her party
I'must certainly call tomorrow, but l
dread it." A comment in similar
way is made by the persons to be
called upon. 81 am shut up here in
the house to receive callers, and there
is Mrs. Simple and her daughter, who
will call, of course and this receiv-
ing calls is such a BORE" It is a
great pity people cannot or will not
take counsel of their common sense,
and do what they ought to do sim
cerely and positively. Uncertainty
not only breeds discomfort, but it
nourishes instability. IF a man has
no fixed time set for the discharge OF
a duty, or the fulfllment of prom
Use, he is liable not to do it at all. |
Men have all the time there is to be
had, and with busy man there is
none of it to spare the only way he
can manage his affairs is to have a
time for each part. When he arises
in the morning, his first duty is to
his Maker he then gives himself to
the necessary duties of home, then to
his business, and then to his friends.
1t is surprising to see how much
more time man has, who uses it pos
itively and definitely, than he would
have ifhe did not.-ProVidence Jour-
nal.

refreshment IN the new interest.

Luxury is vice which prompts
many to run into expense beyond what
their circumstances will admit. And
why! Because respect is attached to
prodigality, and contempt is shown to
those who do not maintain a similar
protusion; because the custom of lavish
expenditure is universal; and because
things that are superfuous, useless and
frivolous, are rendered almost necessary
aud Indispensable. Here is the mis-
shisf Of luxury.

SUNsTRoKE AND THE TREATMENT OF
IT.-Prof. Youmans, in the Popular Sci
ence Monthly, says of sunstroke:
" 1t is produced by exposure to artif-
cial heat, as in the laundry of hotel.
Heat is the principal exciting cause, but
other conditions aid it, as overcrowdlng
and insufficient ventilation, and exhaust
ion produced by prolonged exertion.
Want of acclimatization is a predispos.
ing cause; and spirit drinkers are more
liable to it than abstainers. A victim
of sunstroke should be taken immediate
ly to the shade; out doors is better than
in doors, on account of ventilation. The
clothes should be stripped from the body,
and the head, neck and chest should be
continually drenched with cold water,
until there is pereeptible diminution
of the temperature of the body. The
patient should be encouraged to drink
freely. To avoid sunstroke, the function
of the skin should be kept free by bath
ing hard labor in highly heated at
mosphere should be Stunned the dress
worn should be light and loose fitting,
and the hat light and SO made as to per-
nit free circulation about the top OF
the head.

BATHING IN LAKE TAHOE IN THE ST.
RERA NEvADAs.--It is we'll known that 1t
is more difficult to swim in Lake Tahoe
than in any lower-country water. This
is due TO its great purity and consequent
want Of density of the water. 1t is easy
to strike out with the arms and legs, but
difficult to keep the body ahoat. Swim
ming in Tahoe and swimming in the riv-
er at Sacramento are, for instance, two
different exercises altogether. In the
one case, one softly paddles through wa
ter so mingled with mud as to have
reached the consistency Of thick pea
soup or cruel Of not very tremulous
thinness while swimming in Lake Ia
hoe seems like slow flying through cold
air, with the wings left off, The water
of the lake is so pure that the body and
limbs while immersed are as white as
marble; they are, in fact, CHASTITY in
their whiteness.

equalize distribution, make the voter

Will they alleviate the pains of sickness
and soften the bed of death Will they
give US clearer vision, make the heart
beat quicker, the blood run redder, send
a finer nerve-force to the brain, diffuse
more ethereal presence through this cor.
poreal frame and reveal the thrilling
secrets of the spirits BIRTH We seem
