PUNCTUALITY AT DEATH.

man In all his transactions through
life. He amassed a large property
by untiring industry and puuctuality,
and at the advanced age of ninty
years was resting quietly upon his
bed and waiting calmly to be called
away. He had deliberately made
every arrangement for decoase and
burial. His pulse grew fainter and
the light Of his life seemed just
filckering in the socket, when one of
his sons observeeds:
"Father, you will live but day or
two; is it not we'll to name you
bearers -
ITO be sure, my son." said the
dying man; ''it is well thought of

He gave list of six. the usual
number, and sank back exhausted
upon his pillow. A CLEAN OF
thought passed over his withered
face like ray Of light, and he rallied
once more.
"My son, read me that list. Is

FOR BOILS-A SURE CURE.

DR.. Simon, physician of Lorraine,
states that, as soon as characteristic
eliminating point of a boil makes
its appearance, he purs in saucer
q thimbleful of camphorated alcohol,
and, dipping the ends OF his middle
fingers into the liquid, tubs the in
famed surface, especially the middle
portion, repeating the operation eight
or ten minutes, continueing the rub
bling If each time for i about
half a minute. He then allows, the
surface to dry, placing slight coat
ing Of camphorated olive oil over the
affected surface He states that one
such application in almost all such
cases causes boils to dry up and
disappear. The application should
be made at morning, noon and in
the evening. He AYERS that the same
treatment will cure whitlows, and
all injuries of the tips of the fingers.
AS soon as the pain and redness APP
pear, the finger should be soaked for
ten minues in camphorated sweet oil.
/ The relief is said to be immediate,
and three applications are generally
enough to effect cure.

There is something wonderful in

lated, startle us by their immensi-
ty. We talk of millions and bill

OF the sums we name. The lips
may utter the words gibly, bat the
understanding fails to grasp their
real significance. Take our own
national debt as an illustration.
Everybody knows it is large, but
few have ever stopped to consider
its appalling magnitude. A few
calculations will not, we trust be
be uninteresting to our readers.
Let us suppose that the national
debt is, in round numbers. 80, 5OO,-
