THE ApopLEcrIc SrRoKE.-A middle-aged

fear shall die. just as my ancestors have, OF
PARALYSIS What shall do?' The answer was,
''Diminish the tension on the blood-vessels, and
there need be no fear of tearing them in a weak
place" Now, this expresses in plain terms the
exact cause of apoplexy in the great majority Of
instances; and it is one, too, which every one
has it in his power to prevent. A blood-yessel
of the brain, from causes which will presently
be mentioned, has lost some of its elastic
strength; food is abundant, digestion is good
blood is made in abundance, but little is work
ed off by exercise; the tension on every artery
and vein is at a maximum rate; the even, cir.
cuitous flow is temporarily impeded at some
point, throwing dangerous pressure on an.
other: the vessel, which has lost its elastic
strength, gives way, blood is poured out, clot
is formed, which by its pressure on the brain
produces complete Inconsistencies. This il
the apoplectic stroke. 1t will be perceived
that there are two leading conditions upon
which the production of the stroke depends ; a
essened strength in the vessel, and an increas
ed tension on it.--Dr. Black, in PopslQ,

How to Treat Flesh Wounds.

Every person should know how to treat
a flesh wound, because one is liable to DO
placed in circumstances away from surgi-
cal and veterinary aid, where he may save
his own life, the life Of friend or of q
beast, simply by the exercise of little
common sense. In the first place close the
lips of the wound with the hands and
hold them firmly together to check the
flow of blood until several stitches can be
taken and a bandage applied. Then battle
the wound for long time in cold water.
Should it be painful" correspondent
says, ''talxe PAINFUL Of burning, coslss and
sprinkle upon them common brown sugar
and hold the wound part in the smoke.
In minute or two the pain will be allay-
ed, and the recovery proceeds rapidly. In
my case a rusty nail had made bad
wound in my foot. The pain and nervous
irritation were severe. This was all re-
moved by holding it in smoke fifteen min
utes, and | was able to resume my reading
in comfort. We have often recommended
it to others with like result. Last week,
one of my men had fnger-nail torn out
by a pair of ice-tongs. 1t became very
painful, as was expected. Held in sugar
smoke twenty minutes, the pain ceased,
and promised speedy recovery"
.s~.-
COMPREHENSIVE AND HEALTH.-To be
perfectly healthy and happy, one must
have friends. They need not be in large
numbers, but one, two or three kindred
spirits With whom one can commune,
share joys and sorrows, thoughts and
feelings. In choosing friends great care
is necessary. There must be some COM
mon bond of sympathy. 1t may be NOR
al, intellectual or social; but even these
bonds are not sufficient. A weakly per-
son, and invalid, needs healthy friends; .
timid one, brave friends. Those who are
blessed with good friends are healthier
and happier than those who have none.

"Children, look in those eyes, listen to
that dear voice, notice the feeling of even
a single touch that is bestowed upon you
by that gentle hand Make much Of it
while yet you have that most precious Of
all good gifts--a loving mother. Read
the unfathomable love Of those eyes the
kind anxiety of that tone and look, how
ever slight your pain. In after-life you
may have friends-fond, dear, kind
friends; but never will you have again the
inexpressible love and gentleness lavished
upon you which none but mother be-
slows. Often do l sigh in my struggles
with the hard, uncaring world, for the
sweet, deep security l.. felt when, of an
evening, nesting in her bosom, l listened
to some quiet tale, suitable to my age,
read in her tender and untiring voice.
Never can I forget her sweet glapces cast
upon me when appeared asleep; never.
her kiss of peace at night Years have
passed away since ws laid her beside my

voice whispers from the grave, and her,
eye watches over me as visit spots long
since hallowed to the memory of my mo-.
