A rREcocIous boy was asked which was
the greater evil of the two, hurting another's
feelings or his fingers lie said the former.
Right my dear child" said the questioner,
and why is It worse to hurt the feelings ~
Because You can't tie rag round them"
exclaimed the dear child.

USEFUL TO REMEMBER.

The following practical hints may be
cut out and committed to memory with
much profit:
If possible. buy an oilcloth which has
been made for several years, as the long
er it has lain unwashed. the better it
will wear, the paint icing harder. New
er scrub. Sweep with soft hair brush,
and wash with soft cloth dipped IN
milk and water. Don't use soap. Rub
dry with handful of rags.
Two parts gum camphor, with one
part of crystalized carboiic acid, the
whole rubbed together with whitening.
is an excellent disinfectant and preserv-
ative for furs The odor of the acid is
mostly dissipated by the camphor.
To take ink spots out of mahogany.
touch with feather dipped in tea
spoonful of water to which few drops
of inter have been added, and rub quick
ly with wet cloth.
A thick paste of strong gum arabic,
into which plaster of Paris is stirred,
makes an excellent china cement. APP
ply with brush and let the articles
stand three days.
Preserve eggs by a quick dipping in
boiling water. and packing in fresh salt,
small end down.
To japan old tea trays, scrub clean
with soap and water and rottenstone,
dry, and apply copal varnish mixed with
bronze powder to the denuded parts. Set
in all oven at about 800 degrees until
dry. Two coats needed.
Rub the buckwheat cake griddle with
half turnip. to make the cakes come
off nicely. This is better than fat.
Kerosene oil is good for removing rust
from cutlery.
Saturate sponges with water and stand
them on plates around and among the
window plants. The object is to supply
moisture to neutralize the effects of any
furnace or great heat.
TO each bowl of starch before boiling
add teaspoonful Of Epson salts. Arti-
cles prepared with this will be sitter
and in a measure freproof.

CHILDREN's QuEsTToNs.-Show us the
philosopher that child cannot puzzle.
We have not yet seen such a phenome-
non. Roll all the wiseacres into one,
and a schoolboy S why's and wherefores
shall confound the combination. If,
when the Admirable Crichton travelled
through Europe. afixing his challenges
to the gates of colleges, the professors
had pitted their six-year- olds against
the prodigy, we warrant they would have
propounded problems beyond his skill to
solve Tho truth is, that it is much ca
sier to answer a learned man than
child. Your philosopher understands
well enough that there are matters con-
cerning which all men are equally igno-
rant, and with commendable tact and
prudence they steer clear of them Chill
Gren are not satisfied with evasive re-
plies. They cross-examine with merci
less perseverance, and sometimes drive
the most profound to the refuge of II
don't know" But even that confession
so humiliating to grown up wisdom
does not always silence the youthful
searcher after knowledge. He is apt to
think you ought to know, and to ask
why you don't know. We really like to
set smart child on pendant 1t is as.
tonishiDg how the little interlocutor will
worry aud badger the man of books. But
it does him good. 1t teaches him how
much he does not know 1t is very fool
ish for man to give himself airs on the
score of requirement which do not suf-
fee to save him from being concerned
and convicted of ignorance by a mere
baby.

that there should be absolutely mo diff
ference for company" 1t is most GER
tainly pleasant and right to give express
sion to our better feelings by rendering
to those TO whom it may be our duty or
privilege to entertain the best which may
be at command observing too, that re-
gard for personal attire and behaviour
which we instinctively adopt as the
badge of true respect for others. The
Golden Rule is the thing to practice.
No one who knows of the great labor at.
tending elaborate preparations for visit
ors and the unnatural excitability of en-
tertaining them. would feel the slightest
enjoyment IN so taxing the hospltalltles
of their friends, especially if the work
comes largely upon the mistress herself.
Proffer, then. hearty welcome, rather
than to distress yourself and guests by
the betrayal of chagrin that your house
is not palace Talk when you feel
like it. and confer similar favor upon
your visitor. Don't spoil meal by
apologiziug for its want Of dclicacics.

LIFE A STRucTuRE.-Those who
would build for themselves happy
life must work by plan. This plan
may wisely embrace many particulars,
so that If one part of il fails another
may be carried out. If a man marks
out n programme embracing profess
sional career, happy domestic surround
ings, pleasant sociallife, public influence,
interior growth in virtue, in knowledge,
in power, whatever disaster may over
take him he will have some resources
to fall back upon. Some men are per-
mitted to work up TO their plans in life
and to realize largely the success they
aspire to. But these are comparative
" few. A great many men and womeu
find themselves in middle life in cir
cumstances very different from those
which at twenty years Of age they had
anticipated. Death. revolution, bank
ruptcy, sickness, aud a thousand lesser
causes have changed the whole current
of their lives and opened to them Ca
reers of which their youthful imagi-
nations never conceived. Every day
we meet clergvmen who began life as
farmers or mechanics, journalists who
began as clergymen, politicians who,
from every avoAtion under the sur. as
pire to practice the high art of states
manship, artists who at first were only
artisans, and capitalists who began as
errand boys. But we shall find in al
most every case that he who makes his
mark in life has not worked at random,
but as far as he could see into the flu
ture, has been guided by the. best jude-
meat he could use in the circumstances
which surrounded him. The young
are apt to be discouraged by lack of
success in the first things they under
take; but they should remember that
defeat is half the time better than vie
tory. Some of the most lasting bene-
fits to individuals and to nations have
sprung from what seemed ut the time
overpowing calamity. The man who
refuses to be dauntcd by difficulties, and
is every ready to try again, is the man
who succeeds.

tribes were formed into 4 great armies,
encamping in as many fronts, or form
ing square, with great space in the
rear, where the tabernacle of the Lord
surrounded by the tribe Of Levi. was
placed. To worship God under the

to bring them into immediate relations

Whatever the aims of its originators,
the first camp meetings were distinctly
primitive, held far from city haunts,
the visitors living in tents and sleep
ing on beds Of straw and blankets, their
provisions were brought with them, and
" boarding tents" and refreshment
booths" were utterly unknown. The
progress of the age, however, has
brought its changes, and while the de-
voutness Of the worshipers may be as
fervent as Of yore, there is an advance
in the aesthetic arts Of the camp almost
as marked as that in church architec.
ture. The grounds in some sections
are occupied as permanency, pretty
cottages erected, squares and fountains
add to the adornments, the commissary
department rs regularly supplied as in
an army, and the camp itself has be-
come favorite Summer resort. 1t does
not follow because these movements in.
dicate departure from the practices Of
primitive Methodism that the bene6-
cent influences of the camp meeting are
in any way diminished. They may M
deed reach larger class of minds than
before. and, as a contemporary truly
says, '"ro commune in any way with
woods and fields should take US from
Nature up to Natures God"
