Hints to Young Christians.

Don't be afraid to g show your colors !"
A cowardly Christian is misnomer.
Shrink from no declaration, from no duty
that Christ desires of you. The timid
yascillating course is the hardest and
most barren. The brave, outspoken, faith
full life Is the happiest and most effective
There are manr things You do not I'M
derStand as yet. But let no doubts or un-
certainties prevent you from acting on
what YOU do know There are some spir-
itual facts clear enough, plenty of Chris
tian duties plain enough to you; act i'm
mediately on these. Do faithfully all you
know you ought to do, and the larger
knowledge will follow in due time
Use earnestly every means that will en-
large and strengthen your Christian life.
, Study the Bible. Pray without ceasing.
Do not neglect the prayer meeting or the
Sunday school. Stir UP your Sunday
school teacher and get your doubts ex-
planned Go to your pastor with your
questions, and find out the best he knows
on the things that perplex you. Keep
your heart warm by doing good.
Make your life beautiful in the sight of
men, and show them the sweetness and
power of Christianity. Be conscientious
in little things. Let the Masters spirit
shine through every hour of your life. In
school, in shop or field, in society, the
young Christian ought to be the most

generous and kindly, the noblest Of any
person there.
Follow Christ Seek to reproduce His
traits in your life. Do always as you
would believe He would do if He were in
your place; SO you will have growing,
joyful, successful Christian career.-Ifec.

Unlimited Remedial Il esources.

People sometimes suppose that DR..
Pierce's Family Medicines represent the en-
tire extent of his resources for curing disease.
This is an error. Experience proved that
while the Golden Medical Discovery, Favor
lite Prescription, Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
Compound Extract of Smart-We ed, and DIR.
Sagc's Catarrh Remedy would, if faithfully
used, cure a large variety of chronic com
plants, there would be here and there
case which, from its severity, or from its
complication with other disorders, would
resist their action. These exceptional cases
required thorough examination into their
symptoms, to ascertain the exact nature and
extent of the disease or diseases under
which the patient was laboring, and the use
Of specific remedies to meet and overcome
the same. This led to the establishment of
the Worlds Dispcnsary, at Buffalo, n. Y,
with its Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons,
each of whom is skilled in the treatment of
chronic disorders in general and those be-
longing to his own special department in
particular. To one is assigned diseases of
the throat and lungs; to another, diseases
of the kidneys and urogenital organs; to an
other, diseases of the digestive system; to an
other, diseases of the nervous system; and
to another, diseases of the eye and ear
Thus the highest degree of perfection in med
lcihe and surgery is attained. The establish
ment of this institution enables the Doctor
to meet long-felt want in the treatment of
the more severe chronic affections. By
careful consideration of the symptoms as
given in writing, he successfully treats thou
sands OF cases at their homes. Others visit
the Dispensary in person. The amplest re-
sources for the treatment of lingering affec-
tions are thus placed at the disposal of
every patient, and those on whom the pro-
prietary medicines do not have the desired
effect can procure a more thorough and
efficient course by personal application to
the proprietor of the Worlds Dispensary.

Wanted to Go to Morrow.

MORROW is a station on the Little Mi
ami road, about forty miles from Cincin-
natl. A new brakeman on the road, who
did not know the names of the stations,
was approached by stranger the other
day, while standing by his train at the
depot, who inquired:
Docs this train go to Morrow to- day."
NO" replied the brakeman, who
thought the stranger was making game of
him; lit goes to-day, yesterday, week
after next"
You don't understand me-" persisted
the stranger; " l want to go to Morrow. "
"Well, why the dickens don't you
wait till tomorrow, and not come bother
ing around to-day? You can go to-mor-
row or any other day you please"
Won't you answer a civil question
ciyilly? Will this train go to-day to
Morrow"
Not exactly. 1t will go to-day and
come back tomorrow"
As the stranger who wanted to 90 to
Morrow was about to leave in disgust an
other employe, who knew the station al
luded to, came along and gave him the
desired information.

Save the Bones and Hair.

In some sections of the country one can
collect several hundred pounds of bone
and hair during the year, if he will. In
some villages butchers will give away
many barrelfuls, if anyone will remove
them from his premises. Bones of any
animal, feathers and hogs hair are worth
more as fertilizers than Peruvian guano.
Every farmer and gardener should pro-
vide large box, or sugar hogshead, put
a few bushels of muck, or fine soil, in the
bottom, then fill up with bones and wood
ashes. We have in mind farmer that
buys bones of butchers, who writes that
he reduces them to pulp thus: have
a large, watertight hog,head standing
near the kitchen. In the spring cover
the bottom about six inches deep with dry
soil. On this l put q layer Of bones

leys mostly open the other way; and it is
quite certain be has found measure of
salubfity; for where water flows, fever
abideth not The spring, too, keeps him
to the ring belt, out of the low valley and
off the top of the hill.
Then there STEMS a kind of perpet-
ual srring-.iihe about the place where
water issues from the ground-a freshness
and greeness that are ever renewed. The
grass never fades, the ground is never
parched or frozen. There is warmth
there in winter and GOODNESS in summer
The temperature is equalized. In March
or April the spring runs are bright
emerald, while the surrounding fields are
yet brown and sere, and in fall they are
yet green when the first snow covers them.
Thus every fountain by the roadside is a
fountain of youth and of life. This is
what the old fables finally mean.-John
Burroughs, in Scrtner for April.

exposed to the sun and rain all summer
and winter until the next spring. Then, on
removing the contents of the hogshead, l
find nearly all the bones so soft that they
will crumble to powder under very
slight pressure, and, mixed with the
ashes and the soil, they give nice little
pile of most valuable manure, ready for
immediate use. Any of the bones not
sufficiently subdued returned to the
hogshead again for another twelve months

Selection of Seed.

THE impression that care is useful in
the selection of seed for sowing is very
general one, and yet people hardly know
what it is they would select. Some like
to take early seed, some well-matured
seed, and others seeds from certain por-
tons of the seed-vessel or stalk. Some
experiments made recently at the German
experimental station at Leipsic, indicate
that the size Of the seed has more to do
with the idea of an excellent selection
than any other test. Peas and beans were
taken from packages as generally sown,
and the largest and heaviest selected from
the rest. An equal number of the large
and small ones were then planted, as near
as good culture would admittogether, and
then treated in every respect the same.
The result was that in every instance the
plant from the large seed was larger and
healthier and the product considerably
more than from the plants raised from
the smaller sizes.
How far this rule will apply is an open
question; still the results as given here
were so uniform through all the plants
tested that they would seem to establish
the rule. We believe in some instances
the product was nearly one-third more,
and if this is to be the case always, we
could employ our time to no better adj
vantage than in Kidding all seeds sown,
so as to use Only those that would not
pass through a rather large mesh for the
seeds of the size.
1t may be observed that these remarks
do not apply to what we have recently
said in regard to seed potatoes, because
the potato which we cut up for planting
is only seed by courtesy. The eye, the
single eye, is the analogue of the seed we
are here speaking of; and if that single
eye is strong and good, the size of the
potato that bears it is of no consequence
at all
These experiments with seeds are so
easily repeated, and the results, if they
come always the same, so valuable, prac-
tically, that it would be well to repeat
them. The habit of trying experiments
is at any rate a good one. and every one
should cultivate the natural disposition
which prompts all of us to make them.
Caution in selecting seed, as says the
Agriculturist, and good sense in apply
ing all you can learn about seed will
makes so many failures.-Rural Press

Sunny Rooms Make Sunny Lives.

LIGHT is one of the most active agencies
in enliveIEng and identifying a home.
We all know the value of sunlight as a
health giving agent to the physical sys-
TEN; and it is not less so 10 our moral and
spiritual natures. We absorb light, and
it nourishes us with strange power.
We are more active under It's influence
can think better and work more Wig
orously.
Let us take the ARREST, choicest and
sunniest room in the house for our living
room-the workshop where brain and
body are built up and renewed. And let
us there have bay window, no matter
how plain in structure, through which the
good twin-angels of nature-sunlight and
pure air-can freely enter.
This window shall he the poem of the
house. 1t shall give freedom and scope
for eye and mind. We shall hang no
picture on our walls that can compare
with the living and everlasting pictures
which God shall paint for us through our
ample window. Rosy dawns, golden
hearted sunsets, the tender green and
changing tint of spring, the glow of sum-
mer, the pomp of autumn, the white of
winter, storm and shine, glimmer and
gloom-all these we can have and enjoy
while we sit in our sheltered room as the
changing year rolls on.
Dark rooms bring depression of spirits,
imparting a sense of confinement, of $50,
lation, of powerlessness, which is chilling
to energy and vigOr; but in light is good
cheer
Even in gloomy house, where walls
and furniture are dingy and brown, you
have but 10 take down the heavy curtains,
open wide the window, hang brackets on
either side, set flower pots on the brackets
and ivies in the pots, and let the warm
sun stream freely in, to bring health to
our bodies and joy to our souls.-Rurai

The Army and Navy of China.

The Chinese navy, says French Journal
consists of forty five ships of war, divided
into three squadrons, stationed respect
lively at Canton, Foochow and Shanghai.
In the Canton squadron are two gunboats,
bought by the Celestial Empire from
Great Britain. An English Captain named
Traver also commands one of the corvettes
at Foochow. Each of the divisions is
under the command of Provincial Gov
ernor. The army consists Of 100000
men, stationed at various parts of the
Empire over an area of 1,500,0 900 miles.
The division under Gen. Tso-Tsung-

which numbered not long since 100, 900,
has been reduced TO 40, 900 by the constant

A Struggle for Appearances.

A ST. LOUIS paper relates an instance
of the pride of a child who struggled to
keep up appearances in way that was
touching to witness. The hopelessness of
the endeavor was made painfully mani
fest by the well-meant action of her teach
er, and the facts are these:
Just before The close Of the last session
of the public schools in that city, an in
cident took place which, as an illustra-
ton, is more than touching. At one of
the schools, numbers of the pupils were

them, which at noon they ate together
Among those who did not go home for
dinner, the teacher in a particular man

looking wistfully at her playmates when
they went out with their luncheon, but
who never brought any herself.
The child was always neatly but very
poorly clad, and one of the closest stu

OF the child lasted for some time, when

with her. The noon hour came, and the
children took their lunch as usual and
went out to eat it, the little girl referred
to alone remaining in the room, with ner
dinner wrapped up in paper on the desk
before her. The teacher advanced to the
child and asked why she didn't 90 out
with the rest, at the same time putting
out her hand toward the package on the
desk. Quick as thought the little girl
clasped her hands over it and exclaimed,
sobbing:
"Don't touch it, teacher, and don'ttell,
please. It's only blocksn'
