A Word in Behalf of the Little
Ones.

Some folks are continually mourn
ing for the good old times when
there was "peace and plenty" in the
land, and we can appreciate their
feelings. But we can not enter into
the spirit of those who sing the
homeIy song
so, would were boy again.
for we would not like to be boy
in this day and time, or even little
girl, for that matter. There are
now too many methods of dispos-
ing of children to make it desirable
to be little one of either the mas
culine or feminine gender. There
is an active demand for small cof-
fms, and this must be because there
are many little forms that have no
precious souls left in them. The
fashions of the present day exhaust
children by exposure. They are
not prepared for the cold snaps that
come unawares at this season. Not
one in twenty children of affection
ate parents wears as much clothing
in winter as is sufficient to the pa
rents themselves in mild weather.
1t is not fashionable to allow a
small child TO appear on the street
without an inch or two of bare skin
about the knee. Their tender little
legs, below the knee, must not have
other protection from the cold than
pair of fancy stockings. There
are more methods of getting the
little ones out of the way, it seems
to us, than there are means of saw
ing them. Some of the methods of
Of them are not produc
tive of immediate results; but many
children that escape suffer a com
plication of disorders which make
them ioish they were dead Now,
good mothers, do be tender with |
the little darlings. Let common
sense and humanity outweigh pride
and fashion; then comfort will take
the place of vanity. Do not be in
haste to send your little ones to the
better land. 1t is true the Savior
tells us that ''of such is the king
dom of heaven" but Divine Provi
dence needs no such assistance from
you. Little angels are called when
they are wanted.

We are counseled not to judge
our fellows by appearance; but the
son of Sirach says "a man may be
known by his look" and We cannot
help agreeing with him. The chol-
eric, the lascivious. the melancholy,
the cunning, and others w. might
mention, bear their ten. ..ers and
ruling passions strongly marked on
their cuuntenances. But more es-
pecially does the soul of man
look forth from the eyes. Pride
Occasioned by great success in the
world hardly ever fails to betray it
self in this way. 1t is dangerous
thing, Cor the wise Solomon says
1.-The prosperity of fools destroyeth
them"

There once were business houses
that avoided every sort of notoriety.
They moved along quietly and
nicely, so that only a certain few
knew what they had or what they
were doing. 1t greatly annoyed
them to have a crowd coming in
and going out at their doors. They
preferred to live quiet, peaceful
lives. If they could sell out once in
year or two they were content. 1t
is not so now. The business men
of to day advertise and push their
business. They do not care how
many people are seen coming In
and going out at their doors. The
more the merrier. And the people
have found out that they who adj
vertise most sell lowest. They do
not make so mach profit on any one
article, but they sell more, and re-
peat the profit SO often that they
can afford to sell cheap. They turn
their money over and over several
times in the course of a year.
Times have changed nightly.

In the marriage service the oml
inous word ''obey" stands out with
singular prominence. We have Oft
en- wondered how honorable and
sensitive women could reply to the
question whether they will obey
the man with such a decided and
resonant 81 will" 1t is all explain
Ell, however, by a recent effort OF
metaphysics, and in this way-viz:
that the woman at that particular
moment stands as the sponsor of
the man, and when asked if she will
obey, she means that she will see To
it that he obeys. With this inter
probation the marriage service is
safe, and the experience of every
man proves that women profoundly
appreciate the obligation they take
on themselves, and spend the great
err part of their lives in the eDdeav-
or seldom vain, to carry out that
important of the part contract.

In the winter season, when the
Great Ruler of the universe seems
TO hide his face and withdraw his
beneficent influences, we hear the
cries of creation in distress. But
in the springtime he exerts his
quickenIng power, and there is a
renovation of universal nature.
The presence of God, in like man
ner, is the life of the soul, and his
absence is the death of it. If he
withdraw his grace, we perish ever
lastingly, but when he sends
forth his Spirit, as he did on
the day of Pentecost, "old things
pass away and all things become
new"-the winter is over, and
spring succeeds in its place.

USEFUL RECIPES.

| SONIC
biottlng paper in a strong soIu
ton OF saltpetre: dry it; take a
piece about the size of your hand,
and on going to bed light it and lay
it on a plate in your bedroom. By
so doing persons afflicted with the
asthma will find that they can sleep
almost as well as when in health.
Weak Nerves.-The Science of
Health gives the following direc-
tons for the treatment of weak
nerves: You must conform to the
habits ofhygiene, eating food which
contributes those elements neces-
sary for the building up and invig-
Grafton of bone, muscle, and nerve.
avoid all heating or stimulating
preparation OF food.
To Purify Sick-room.-If on
ions are sliced and kept in
sick-room they will ABSORB all the
atmospheric poison. They should
be changed every hour. In the
room of small pox patient they
blister and decompose very rapidly
but will prevent the spread of the
disease. Their application has also
proved effectual in the case of snake
bites.
To Prevent Chafng.-Use a 10
ton OF alum in water, applied with
rag before retiring. A piece of
alum as large as a hazelnut, dis
solved in half pint of water, is
sufficient. 1t will quickly heal ex
coriated skin and harden unabraded
cuticle. The use of this for years
with most beneficial results, is suffi
cicnt authority for a trial. 1t is
good also for tender fleet and soft
corns.
To Test Eggs.-As it is desirable
in packing eggs for winter use to
put up none but good ones, l try
mine by rolling up pamphlet or an
almanac just large ENOUGH to slip
an egg in at one end. Look through |
this toward the light, and if the egg |
is fresh it will look perfectly clear;
if stale, it looks dark. This is an
excellent test-almost unfailing.-
Farmers Wife.
To Cook Tough Meat.-All kinds
of poultry and meat can be cooked
quicker by adding to the water
in which they are boiled little vim
egar or piece Of lemon. BY the
use OF an acid there will be consid-
cradle saving of fuel as well short
ening of time. Its action is benefi
cial on old, tough meats, rendering
them quite tender and easy to be
digested. Tainted meats and fowls
will loose their bad taste and odor
if cooked in this way, and if not
used too freely, NO taste of it will
be acquired.
Food in the Throat.-ft is worth
while to know what to do if fish
Done or portion of food sticks in
he throat, for, unless there is
prompt action, life may be lost. A
mart blow between the shoulders
frequently dislodges the substance.
f any attempt to swallow can be
made a large peice of butter put IN
O the mouth will help the offending
ubstance to pass down the throat
more easily. If no attempt can be
made to swallow, put the finger
own the throat as far as possible.
nd endeavor to pull out the bone
rmeat, or tickle the throat to pro
uce immediate vomiting. :

We entirely agree with the con-
temporary who remarks that there
is a great deal of misdirected sym
pathy in the world. We have known
people to take pity on a homeless
dog and give the cold shoulder to a
homeless child. At such sights we
always think of Sterne, who wept
over a dead ass, and moralized
about the uncertainty of life and the
duty of looking carefully and kind
ly after those left In your charge,
but who at that very time was cru
ely neglecting his own flesh and
blood. AS a rule, it is we'll to look
after your own kin first, and then,
if your sympathy has not been suf
iciently taxed, you can spend the
residue on stray dogs and cats.

that "excess of ceremony shows a

true. There is nothing so trouble

does not throw civilities about him

Aunt Elizabeth is premature in
her chuckles. She is evidently not
well posted. People who profess
to be able TO find a woman at the
bottom of every trouble say that
in this case if Mr.. Tilden had been
a married man. he would have re-
ceived more votes; that a few more
would have settled the matter be-
yond all dispute, and that the
trouble therefore rests on some wo-
man whom he would have married,
but who would not have him. Aunt
Elizabeth hao better hunt her out
and pull her hair.
