Bathing Children.

Some mothers think when their children

frequent entire bath can be dispensed with
If some of the main facts of physiology were
well known and understood, every one would
perceive that cleanliness Of the skin is one
of the conditions Of good health. II hap
pens when bathing is disregarded, that the
lungs, kidneys or bowels have more than
their own apportionment of work. If these
are strong and healthy they may bear the
tax with little apparent injury, but, in most
eases, a lowering of the vitality and tone Of
the system ensues. Large bath-tubs are pleas
ant and convenient, but not indispensable
to the proper cleansing Of the skin. A
speedy spohging of the body in pure water,
followed by friction in pure air, Is all that is
necessary. When disinclined TO use water,
find a thorough application of the nesh-brnsh
to the whole person an admirable substitute; (;
especially, on retiring it relieves nervousness
equalizes the circulation and induces quiet
sleep. Mothers, above all, should see that
their children are well bathed. If their skins
are kept active and healthy, there will not
be half the danger from fevers, colds, and
eruptive diseases. II your little one is cross
or troublesome, and finds no occupation that
pleases him, try the effect of bath some

Our Homes.

Who can tell the worth of a true home?
There is nothing on earth equal to it, and, |
often think, nothing which gives us so true
a type of life in heaven. Nothing can do
what home can to elevate and purify the
world nothing makes men so strong and
steadfast, so firm in principle and manhood ;
nothing makes women so true and noble. SO
gentle and womanly, so lovabe. 'Tis the
pure, happy homes scattered up and down
our land, out of which came loyal, honest
men and women, in which our hope lies, and
which will do more TO free us from the evils
and woes Of intemperanee aud corruption in
their multitude of forms and phases than all
the laws and politicians can ever do.
Make the roots pure and right, and the
tree will be vigorous and healthful. Homes
are the roots of national life. II these be
pure, our national tree will cast off all UNI
healthy growth, all corrupt branches, and be-
come in time good in every part. Woman
is the heaven-appointed home-maker, and
here she will find work broader, grander
and more beautiful than any other, though |
would by no means disparage any of her ef-
forts for good wherever and whenever made.
So, say, God bless the homes and their
inmates and make them all they are capable
of becoming-make them many and blessed
everywhere.

that education should lay up its rich re-

A week or two since little incident oc-
CURED at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, an ae-
count of which it is hoped Cough will incor-

course and add effect TO the moral. A char

rooms, was sitting in his usual place Of re-
sort, with several compatriots about the card
table, killing time with the pasteboards.
Suddenly his wife entered the room, bearing
large covered dish, which she deposited on
the table, with the remark, "Presuming, hus.
band, that you were too busy TO come home
to dinner, have brought yours TO you,' and
departed. The husband invited his com
panions to share his meal and removed the
lid from the dish, revealing no smoking
roast, but instead of this slip of paper only

How 10 Escape the Trap.


! saw a good story lately that was headed
How TO Escape the Trap" Itisa sort Of
fable. The story says that company of
rats once met in The cellar Of q house 10 con-
suit together about their safety. large
steel trap had been set in that cellar. II
was baited with good big piece Of cheese
which smelled very nice, and which they
wanted very much 10 get at. But they bad
seen a number Of their friends killed and
wounded 10y this trap. IN this way they had
learned that IL was dangerous thing to med
die with And now they had met together
TO see if they could not find out some way
vi getting that nice cheese out of the trap
without any injury TO themselves. Many
long speeches were made, and many plans
suggested, but none Of them seemed 10 an
swer. AT last one of them got up aud said !.
81 move that committee of two of the,
strongest among ms be appointed to attend
10 this business And think if one OF the
committee win put his paws upon the spring
and keep it down, then the other can take
away thr cheese with safety" This seemed
to meet with great favor. They agreed that
this was the best plan that had been sug-
gested, aud they uttered loud squeal in IA
vor OF il.
But just then they were startled by a
faint voice, aud poor lame rat, with only
three legs, came linping into the meeting.
lie stood up to speak, and said
"My friends, | have.tried the plan that
has just been proposed, and YOU see the re-
suit | lost my leg 10y it, that is what it
cost Inc. Now let me give you my advice.
II Won want TO escape the dangers Of that
trap, the best way is to let il alone. Don't
touch it, Don't 60 near it,"
And this is one of the ways in which
Jesus, our guiding star, keeps us out of dan
ger Every sin is like a trap We cannot
90 near it without danger. And the advice
which Jesus gives US, when we are tempted
to any kind OF sin, is always the same. lie
saws Let il alone Flee from it. Have
nothing TO do with IT, The best way to
escape the trap is not to 90 near il.
