The Use Of Words.

Bad words are as influential as the
plague and the pestileuce. They have
wrought more evil than battle, murder,
and sudden death. They creep through
the air into the heart, call upall its bad
passions, and tempt to break Gods
commandments. A few bad words got
into the ear of the mother of man
kind. aud led her on TO eat the forbid
den fruit. and thus to bring death into
the world.
You may tame the wild beasts; the
eontiagration of the American forest
will cease when all the timber and dry
wood is consumed; but you cannot ar
rest the progress of that cruel word
which you uttered carelessly yesterday
ar this morning.
Good words do more than hard
speeches, as the sunbeams without any
noise will make the travelercast off his
cloak, which all the clustering winds
could not do, but only make him bind
il closer TO him.
If you do not wish man TO do
thing. yOu had better get him TO talk
about ii; for the more men talk, the
more likely they are to do nothing
else
o, how glorious to make everything
cloud, sweeten life by smiles and kind
words and to make joy to spring in
your path, and love to glow on every
face.
hate anything that occupies more
space than it is worth. | hate to see
load of band-bOXes go along the street,
and hate to see parcel of big words
without anything in them.
Words are things, and small drop of
ink falling like dew upon a thought,
produces that which makes thousands,
perhaps millions think.
There are words which can separate
hearts quicker than sharp words; there
are words whose sting can remain in
the heart through life.
am not so lost in photography as to
forget that words are the daughters of
earth; and that things are the sons of
Heaven.
Hard words are like hailstOnes in
summer, beating down and destroying
what they would nourish were they
melted into drops.
We should be as careful of our words
rs of our actions, and as far from speak
ing i'll as doing ill.
o. many a shaft, at random sent,
Fiods ina ark the archer little meant;
Aud many 3 word at random spoken,
May sooIhe, or wound q heart that's broken.
Words like leaves: and where they most abound,
Much frat Of sense beneath is rarely found.

Dyspepsia.

Now we know all about it. DIR. Wis
senich, of Regensburg, proposes to call
dyspepsia tOrutasis, yeast disease. He
claims that in q wide circle of cases he
has never found dyspeptic patient the
origin of whose disease might not be
traced to the bread he ate. In a very
interesting monograph in Hallermunde's
Medicinische Anndlen he attempts to
show that the flesh eating, Indicating,
rice-eating. date-eating, and, in short,
all other peoples except the bread-eat-
ing peoples. are comparatively exempt
from dyspepsia. He attributes the
disease to the imperfect destruction in
our ordinary baking processes of tie
vitality of the yeast-germs in the bread,
and claims that they regain their ac-
tivity in all weak stomachs, and increas-
ing by termination, propagate regular
mycelis among the other contents Of
the digestive sac, thus causing the food
to be decomposed and made unnutri-
tious or injurious before it can be di-
gested.

Lake Titicaca.

This is the most singular and inter.
esting lake in the world. Situated on
the crest of the Andes, it is the highest
large body of fresh water; and as con-
current traditions point to it as the
spot where Nance Capac, the first Inca,
appeared and woke the aboriginal tribes
from their long sleep Of barbarism aud
Ignorance, it is the historic center OF
South America. Humboldt called it
the theatre of the earliest American
civilization. On an island within it are
the imposing ruins of the Temple of
the Sun, and all around it are monu-
ments which attest the skill and mag
nifcence of the Incas. There are also,
as at Tiahuanaco and Silustani, the re-
mains of burial towers and palaces,
which antedate the crusades, and are
therefore pre- incarial.
Lake Titicaca is about the size of our
Ontario, shallow on the west and north,
deep towards the east and south. The
eastern or Bolivian shore, being backed
by the lofty range of Sorata, is very
high and precipitous. The lake never
freezes over, although the temperature
of Puno is often Is deg. at sunrise.
Two little steamers of 100 tons each do
trifiing business. Steam is generated
by llama dung, the only fuel of the
country; for there are no trees within
$50 miles. The steamers actually cost
their weight in silver; for their trans
portation (in pieces) from the coast cost
as much as the original price. A steam
boat company has just asked from Bo-
livia the exclusive privilege of nsviga-
ting Titicaca and the Rio Desaguadero
to Lago Pampa, with guaranty of six
per cent. cost on the capital and a share
in all new mines discovered.
Professor Orton, the latest traveller
in that region, calls attention to the
fact that Lake Titicaca is not so high
as usually given in geographical works
by about 300 feet. Its true attribute
is II, 493 feet, and in the dry season it
is four feet less. This fact has been
revealed by the consecutive dwellings,
made in building the Arequipa railway
just finished, which reaches from the
Pacific to Lake Titicaca. The road
rises from the sea to Arequipa, 1850
feet; thence to the summit. IA, $50 feet;
and then descends over 1000 feet. to
Puno on the west shore of the lake,
distance by the track Of 325 miles
from the ocean. Pentlandt's estimates
of Sorata, 1Ilimani, and other peaks of
the Andes, having started from the
Titicaca level as base line, must come
down full 800 feet.

LITTLE SUNsHINE.-Alice Haywood is
six years old. She came with the June
roses six years ago. She is a happy,
sweet little girl, and has always been
called "Little Sunshine. Papa says
there are no dull days in his home, for
he has Sunshine all the year round.
But there were dull days in that home
once, when Little Sunshine was very.
very sick, and papa and mamma thought
she was going to die. Such a dear lit
tie girl she was then just as patient
and good When the pain was so great
she could not help groaning, she shut
her lips tight, so the groan would come
''httle, and not big to make mamma
cry" The sickness was short, and
happy days came again when Little
Sunshine was well enough to play and
help mamma.
One day, when mamma, had gone out
for few hours, some grown-up cousins
came from way off to visit her. Little
Sunshine invited them into the house,
and was very polite to them. taking
their hats and shawls, and entertaining
them the best she could with her big
dolly, tea-set and other nice things.
When she saw her mamma coming, she
ran to the door to tell her who was
there, and then said, 81 don't think
they've been lonesome, mamma, for I've
done all could to make them happy" !"
Wasn't she darling to be so thought
full and kind She is always trying to
make people happy; and when anybody
tries hard to do anything, she is sure to
succeed, you know. Do you try, too,
little ones? L hope you do, and 1 know
that everybody loves You if you do, and
you are happy yourselves, like Little
Sunshine, who is curled up on the low
window-seat just now talking to her
kitty, telling it never to catch little
brides, and when it catches mousies IL
must be very careful not to hurt them.

The Child and the Gardener.

planted once a little tree
Out in the air and sunshine free:
i gave II water every day;
But still it pined and pinned away.
Our gardener had 4 wise old head:
i carried ii TO him, and said,
Take this into the greenhouse hot"
He pulled il from the fower-pOt.
And. smiling, held it up to me:
"A pretty gardener you would be ~
He said "a plant that has no root
viii die, and bear no flowers or fruit"
l hung my head, and blushed for shame;
~But, child" said he, you're not to blame:
Full many an older head I've seen,
As simple quiet as you have been
You must in future wiser be,
And not plant flowers to make a tree;
But choose the roots. and wait, my dear,
Until the little buds appear"

THE ERMINE.-Away up IN northern
latitudes, where there is nearly always
snow and ice, and where the summers
are very short indeed, lives little crea-
ture which wears such beautiful dress
that we are all envious and desire to
rob him of it. His dress is soft as velvet,
and creamy white, and so warm that it
is a protection against the coolest
weather. Ladies want it to border
their garments with, judges think that
it adds to their dignity to wear it, and
even kings and mobiles desire it to help
make their crowns and coronets. So
this beautiful, shy little creature,
scarcely as large as cat, is hunted by
the trapper, and when caught deprived
not only of its garment, but of life
itself, that lords and ladies, kings and
judges, may have their whims gratified
This little animal is called an ermine.
Its food consists of rats, young rabbits,
birds, small animals of every descrip-
ton, and birds eggs. 1t is long, slen-
der and graceful In form, and can climb
trees as easily as cat.
During the summer the ermine is
called stoat, and then its back is of
reddish brown, which allows it to pass
along the ground among the fallen
leaves and rubbish without being per-
ceived. But when the cold weather
comes, the fur gradually turns white,
all but the tip of its tail, which remains
black.
There are ermines or stoats found in
temperate latitudes but as they never
turn perfectly white in winter, the trap
pers do not care to catch them. They
are wild little creatures still, they may
be easily tanned, and are then as affec-
tionate and playful as kittens.

SAYING AND DoISG.-Two brothers
used to go to school together. One
evening they thought they should like
to have holiday the next day so they
asked their father to give them one.
He said, 81 cannot, because it will put
you back in your studies so mind you
go to school" One of the brothers
said, Eyes, will but the other said
he would not, and his father was very
angry with him.
The next day the one that had said
Eyes" played truant, but the one that
had refused went to school. Then the
father said to them in the evening,
"Both of you are in the wrong but
you that promised to go and broke your
promise are the worse of the two"
Our Father in heaven speaks to u
every day, and says, "Do My will -
and whenever we kneel down and say,
"Yes, 1 will" Now, if we say we Will
do Gods will, and yet do not try to do
it, ara we not like the boy that first
made promise and then broke it?
Some people never pray to God at all,
and never promise to do His will. Per-
haps you are inclined to say, "They are
very bad people," But if you promise
and do not try to keep your promise,
are you not worse than they?

THAT is queer little creature that
you often find in your oysters at dinner
shaded from a delicate orange color
to a deep red. 1t is a second cousin to
that greenish, hat-footed, long handed
craw-fish, that creeps along backward
through the mud in the bitches and
cutters. 1t has a still more curious
relative, called the hermit or soldier
crab, which, like itself, having no home
of its own, creeps into the first empty
shell it finds, and if it fits, walks off
with it on his back. He climbs trees,
too, to get the eggs of birds, which he
devours with great gusto. Another and
stronger crab, meeting him, frequently
drives him from his newly acquired
house, taking possession of it by main
force, and the poor hermit wanders off
seeking a new roof to shelter him. Still
another poor relation in the crab family
is great thief. 1t walks into houses
O. nights, like many another of those
quiet people, the burglars, and carries
off neckties, collars, stockings, and any
other small articles of clothing left
about within its reach. 1t has this ad-
vantage over burglars, however, that if
caught IN the act, it does not have to
wait to turn around, but clatters off
backwards dragging its spoils to its
dark hole in the sand.

Mistaken PAilautrophy.

On circus day evening wellknown,
vel TO. do citizen Of this city, whose
kindness of heart aud kind deeds to-
ward Goods poor" arc in every man's
mouth, though he himself is proverbial
for his modesty, went up to the circus.
Like the ancient Emperor Aurelian,
he co ,nts that day lost which records
no good deea-sou'ething done which
has made some one happy. On his
way up he revolved in his own miod
the deeds Of the day, but could think
of nothing he had done which had
made any one glad, aud his heart was
full of regrets that he had accomplish
ed nothing. Just US he approached
the entrance to the tent he heard the
man v who collected tickets order little
girl, perhaps 10 or IL years Of age,
and evidently one Of the poorest Of the
poor, away from'the tent because she
had no ticket. The child showed her
grie{ in a gIistening teardrop, and
tarned rcgrct'ully away. Here was
the chance, and our philanthropist
erasped quickly at the opportunity.
He approached the girl andtold her to
follow him and he would take her to
sec the circus She expressed her
gratitude in the b:st manner she knew
an3 followed him in. He took great
pains in showing her al the animals,
explaining their pccularities to her,
the country they came from, etc., re-
gardiess Of the wonder it created
amone::his friends He the" entered
the circus tent, seating his protege by
his side, and congratulating himself
that he had made that gVl's heart
purer and happier for that day at least.
When the performance was about hall
through, the girl got up and started to
60 out. "Why do you leave so soon
my dear ?" asked our ph;lanthrophist.
!"Qh! !" said she, 'this is the d-dest
poorest circus I ever saw. Get of my
dress and let me go" Loves labor
Vas lost, and the phiianthropist was at
last left with the conviction that this
day was LIST also.-Dutuque Times.
