Cultivating a Pure Expression.

Every word that falls from the lips Of
mothers and sisters especially should be
pure and concise, and simple not pearls,
such as fall from the lips of the princess,
but sweet, good words, that little children
can gather without fears of soil, or after
shame, or blame, or any regrets to pain
through all their life.
Children should be taught the frequent
use of good, strong, expressive Words
words that mean exactly what they should
express in their proper places.
If child, or young person, has loose,
flung together way of stringing words when
endeavoIing to say something, he should
be made to "try again." and see if he can
not do better.
1t is painful to listen to many girls
talk. They begin with "My Goodness ~
and interlar6 it with "oh's - and "sakes
alive I" and $50 sweet !" and $50 queenly ~
and SO many phrases that one is tempted
to believe they have no training at all, or
else their mothers were very foolish wo-
men. There is nothing more disgusting
than the twaddle of ili-bred girls I; one 10
provoked often into taking q paper and
reading, and letting them ripple and gurgfe
on, like brooks that flow they know not
whittier.
My heart warns with love for sensible
girls and pure boys and, after all, If our
girls and boys are not this, fear 1t ls our
own fault-for this great trust rests in
the hearts and hands of the women of our
land. If we have noble, useful purpose
in life, we shall infnse the right spirit into
those around us.-Erchange

Railway Mortality.

Railway servants lead a life full of risk
The number of this class of persons wound
ed and killed each year is appalling-so
appalling that the railway companies mani
fest the utmost anxiety to keep the stat
istics bearing on the subject from the pub
lie. In England the railway companies
are required by statute to furnish annually
a return of the railway accidents attended
with loss of life or personal injury. The
companies, it would seem from report
sent to the London Times by Mr.. M. T.
Bass, have made returns as required, but
most inaccurate ones. The companies are
subjected to a fine for any error in their
statistics, and SO numerous have these
errors been that the aggregate of fines has
reached the immense figure of 81 .0OO, 900.
Thus the Lancashire and Yorkshire Com
papy reported that thirty nine of their
servants were killed and seventy three in
jured in 1872. The fact is, that fifty-four
were killed and 1867 injured. So at least
MIR. Bass report says. On all the railways
in England there were returned killed dur
ing the same year 632, and injured 1,395.
M Phillips, agent of Mr.. Bass, argues that
the number of killed was 1850, and of in
jured "a $40. This last year the accidents
on English railways have been even more
numerous than in 1872. It is estimated
that during the last year 300 railway ser
wants were killed on English railways, and
%, 900 injured. The number of injured,
according to the returne. was only 1t71, an
error of 25 ,s29! Eight railway companies
have made erroneous returns last year.
The number of killed returned by the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Com
pauy, for instance, was only tbirty-nine.
The real mum Der it seems was BY. Some
of these non official statistics are only in
ferential. The'" is, however, every reason
to believe that .ey are much more reliable
than those furni,ed by the railway com
panies themselves.
1t seems probabl, hat legal proceedings
against the default,ug companies will be
instituted by the British Board of Trade.
1t is to be hoped that, in the interest of the
security of life and limb, such proceedings
will be begun. The prosecution of the
companies which have failed to send in
accurate returns Of the number of their
servants killed and wounded will have a
tendency to make them more respectful of
human life. Hence its advisability.

!" Look neither TO the right NOR left,
Or you will be Of peace bereft,"

growled the bear, in his companions ear.
So she walked straight on through the
chamber, and not q reptile moved and 80
on through ten other chambers, and the
last swarming with the most frightful crea-
lures of all,-dragons, snakes. toads, basil
lisks, and winged serpents. In each room
the bear growied OUT
Look neither to the right nor left,
Or You will be peace berefs n
The poor girl trembled and shook with
fear, like an aspen-leaf, at every step she
took, she had however, sufficient courage not
to look round or behind her, but kept her
eyes steadily fixed on the ground. AS soon
as they opened the door of the twelfth cham
Der, a shining ray of light burst forth upon
them, and from Within came sound of
sweet harmony and songs of triumph and
rejoicing. Then, before the maiden could
recover her scattered senses, overcome as
she was at first with Terror and dread OF
the noisome reptiles, aud then dazzled
with the brilliancy of the last chamber,
there came fearful clap of thunder, as if
heaven and earth had FLASHED together !;
and then followed dread silence. But
with the thunder had disappeared forever
the forest, the cave, the poisonous crea-
stood magnificent palace respondent
with golden ornaments, and all around it
was ranged a company of servants dressed
in regal livery. The bear was become a
handsome young man, who, as the priDcely
owner of the castle, pressed to his heart
the merchants daughter, and thanked her
again and again for having delivered him
and his servants from their enchantment.
But although her station was now so ex-
allied, the princess forgot not her nut bough,
which had the power of always blossomiDg,
but treasured it the more carefully because
it was the key to all. her good fortune.
And, as soon as she was able, she sent
word to her parents and sisters of the mar
velious fortune which had attended her,
and invited them to come to her. And they
all lived to good old age, in the enjoy
ment of their united happiness, in the
castle of the Bear Prince.-Young Crusader.

The Koumis Cure for Consumption.

"A correspondent of the London Daily
Ners, writing from Samara, on the Volga,
says: " 1t has long been known that the
Tartar tribes inhabiting what 10 generally
known as Independents Tartary fno longer,
however, since Gen. Kaufmann's visit, par
ticnlarly independently and the nomad
tribes scattered over it's northern frontiers,
the Tnrkomans and the Kirghis, as well az
other tribes more or less akin to these, such
as the half nomad Bashkirs of Orenburg,
oil used ferDented mares milk, which they
called Koumis, not only as beverage, but
as a substantial portion of their daily food.
1t was reported to combine the nourishing
properties of milk With the invigorating
qualities of alcohol; indeed, among it's
other virtues, it WAS said to exhiiarate and
intoxicate. 1t came into the heads of some
Russian medical men, of whom Dr.. Port
nikof, of Samara, is said to have been one
of the first, that this koumis might possibly
possess medical properties as well. 1t was
observed that consumption and its cognate
disorders were unknown among the tribes
who babitualiy drank koumis. Starting
from this observation, experiments were
made on the rilia corpora of coDsnmptive
patients, and with highly benefici results.
Upon this DR.. Portnikof started koumis
establishment at Samara. Its situation
offered him many advantages. In the first
place, from lis position on the VOlga, 1t
was Mt least approachable, whereas Oren-
berg, the nearest spot where koumls conld
he said to be indigenous, was the ultima
thule of the civilized world. This new es-
tablishment on the Volga was the means,
therefore, of pushing the koumis outposts
800 miles westward. In the next place, it
was observed that the pasturage at Samara
was similar to that at Orenberg. 1t is sup
posed that the virtue of koumis consists in
a great measure in the rich quality of the
mares milk, which again is dependent, not
only on the race of mares, but on the
pasturage on which they are fed. All these
are propositions which are more or less
vehemently affirmed and denied by the
different campo into which koumis connois-
seurs are divided"

A CHILD STKANeLEp By A GAIA
strange occurrence took place a few morn
ings since in the family of Mr. Siias Dolo-
way, engineer in Babcock, Fuller s. Co.'s
new hat factory, who occupies j. w. Can
fields house on Mulberry street, in this
village. Mrs. Doioway is accustomed to
leave her babe, little girl four mopths old,
on the bed upstairs while she does her
mornings work in the basement, from
where she could easily hear the least noise.
On the morning in question she heard the
little one growing as usual, but finally
noticed that the sounds ceased, and shortly
after heard strange gurgling noise. Sup
posing that the child had got it's head under
Che bed clothes and was suffocating she
ran up STAIRS to see about it. and found the
house cat with its nose in the child's mouth
The child was strangled black and was
fighting feebly with bis hands. She caught
the child and shook it several times, when
it caught it's breath and came out all right
In a few minutes more 1t would probably
have been strangled to death. Mrs. Dolo-
way had to pull the cat off the child 80
eager was it to remain. 1t had n paw on
either side of the chiid's head and had its
nose pressed deeply into the chlld's mouth.
The cat was instantly kiiied.-Middletoao"
