The Corset Liver.

Some medical students, in one OF
the colleges, dissecting a female
subject few days ago, found what
is called in doctors parlance "cor-
set liver" When tight lacing has
been practiced through several
years, a permanent dent or hollow
is produced in the liver, which may
be seen very plainly after the
woman is dead and her liver dis
sected out. This kind of liver oc-
ours so frequently in women that
have given it the name of
'corset liver" In the subject men
toned the hollow in the liver was
large enough for the wrist of
grown man to be laid in it. Young
ladies who don't want their livers
put into the newspapers and made
an awful example Of after they are
dead, would better take warming

TO Make a Telephone.

Take two empty oyster cans and
a stout, smooth string. Let a small
hole he made In the bottom Of each
can, through which the string, say
fifty or one hundred feet in length,
is passed ami secured. Then let
eXperimentors set up their talking
telegraph by choosing their stations
as far apart as the tightly stretched
string will permit, and while one of
the operators holds his ear to one
of the cans, and his companion his
mouth to the can of the other end
of the line, they will find that a
conversation can be carried on so
that low tones and even a whisper
will be distinctly perceptible. What
usually most astonishes those who
make this experiment for the first
time, is that the sound of the voice
does not seem to come from the
person speaking at the other end of
the string, but to issue from the
can itself, which is held to the ear
of the listener. This at first ap-
pears to be deception, but it is
really so. The ear tells the ex-
act truth. The voice that is heard
really comes from the can that is
held To the ear of the nearer. The
voice of the speaker communicates
sound producing vibrations to the
walls of the can with which his
voice is IN immediate contact. These
vibra ions are communicated to the
string, but so changed that they no
longer affect the ear. A person
may stand by the string while the
sound is passing and yet hear no.
thing. At the other end of the
string, these hidden vibrations re-
produce themselves as sound.-Er.

What to Teach Children.

Teach them true lady may be
found in calico quite as frequently
as in velvet.
Teach them that a common
school education. with common
sense, is better than a college edu-
cation without it.
Teach them that one good, hon
est trade well mastered is worth a
dozen beggarIy professions"
Teach them that "honesty is the
best policy"-that it is better to be
poor than to be rich on the profits
o: wickedless.
Teach them to respect their eld-
ers and themselves.
Teach them that, as they expect
to he men some day, they cannot
too soon learn to protect the weak
and helpless.
l each them that to wear patched
clothes is no disgrace, but to wear
l "black eye" is.
Teach the boys that by INDUCING
heir vitiated appetites in the worst
'orms of dissipation they are not

husbands of pure girls.
Teach them that they can only be
lappy now and hereafter by loving
nd serving the Lord Jesus Christ. |

Duty of a Women to be a Lady.

Wildness is a thing which girls
cannot afford. Delicacy is a thing
which cannot be lost and found.
No art can restore to the grape its
bloom. Familiarity without love,
without confidence, without regard,
is destructive to all that makes
woman exalting, and ennobling.
1.-THE world is wide, these things are small,
They may be nothing, but they are all"
Nothing? 1t is the first duty of
woman to be a lady. Good
breeding is good sense. Awkward
ness may be ineradicable. Bash
fulness is constitutional. Igno
rance of etiquette is the result OF
circumstances. All can be con-
doned and do not Danish man or
woman from the amenities of
their kind. But self possessed, I'M
shrinking and aggressive coarse
ness of demeanor may be reckoned
as a State prison otFense, and GER
tainly merits that mild form ofpun-
ishment called Imprisonment for
life. 1t is a shame for women to be
lectured on their manners. 1t is
bitter shame that they need TO be.
Women are the umpires of society.
1t is they TO whom all mooted points
should be referred. To be lady
is more than to be prince. A lady
is always in her right inalienably
worthy of respect. To a lady,
prince and peasant alike bow. Do
not be restrained. Do not have i'm
pulses that need restraint. Do not
wish to dance with the prince un-
sought; feel differently. Be sure
that you confer honor. Garry
yourself so lofty that men shall
look up to you for reward, not at
you in rebuke. The natural senti-
ment of man toward woman is rev
erence. He loses a large means of
grace when he is obliged to count
her a being to be trained into pro
priety. A mans ideal is not woun
ded when a woman fails in worldly
but if in grace, in tact,
in sentiment, in delicacy, in kind
ness, she should be found want |
ing, he receives an inward hurt

Farm and Home.
When to Salt Stock.

Going TO church. winding the
clock and sailing the cattle and
sheep used to be the triple duties
for every summer Sunday in many
well regulated farmers family We
trust the last named exercise has
been stricken from The programme.
Experiments show that when COWS
were sailed but once a week their
flow of milk was largest on the days
when they had salt than it was
when they had none. The lesson
to be drawn is obvious enough.
Salt your cows every day. So of
other stock-keep salt by it, SO that
when it has an appetite for it, it can
crafty it. No animal will eat more
salt than it wants or needs if it has
access to the trough every day, but
if obliged to go salt hungry for
eight or ten days aad then give it a
chance, 1T is pretty certain to eat
more than is good for it. None of
us would relish being obliged to eat
a weeks supply of salt every Sun
day morning, and the cows taste in
tAis matter is very much like our
own. Every pasture and certainly
every barnyard, should contain a
sheltered salt trough to which stock
of all kinds can have daily access
It's the easiest way and the most
economical way, the most saving
way, the most paying way, and the
best way all around.-EzchGnge.

Shun AFectation.

There is nothing more beautiful
in the young than simplicity OF
character. 1t is honest, frank and
attractive. How different is afrecta-

ever had it, they have crushed it
out and buried it from sight utterly.
Be yourself, then, young friend.
To try to be somebody else is worse
than folly. But suppose you could
succeed in initiating the greatest
man that ever figured in history;
would that make you any better?
BY no means. You would always
suffer in comparison with the imi-

a real sound, the counterfeit of pure
com. Let the fabric of your char

A Sensible Wife.

The wife OF a Pennsylvania cler-
gyman when dying recently called
him to her bedside and said :
'Don't grow morbid when am
gone. Go into society, be cheerful
and let no regard for my memory
check you when you see fit to mar
ry again. 1t is my wish; the chill
dren must be cared for; you Will

a cheerful woman, and teach her to

me, and don't be governed by what

One single look, cheerful smile
or sympathizing word, which costs
us nothing to bestow may inspire
with fresh courage the gloomy and
respondent.
Each blade of grass and humble
flower has some Office to perform,
and each evil thought exerts it's
baleful influence upon the character,
while our nobler implses, if acted
upon, make US better beings.
Little things often lead to great
results.
A kind word of advice given in
the right spirit may turn the evil
course of bad boy to 4 right one,
and those words be ever remem-
bered thankfully as saving him from
unknown misery and sin.

Men and children are like peb-
bles. You know how pebbles on
the seashore are rounded and made
smooth by being rolled against each
other. 1t is so with many men
but now and then we find a person
who is as crusty as one of the crabs
we also find on the seashore. The
more he Is rubbed by others the
crustier he becomes. So, too, some
of the little stones are made very
pointed, and do not get rounded by
the others. Let US try to have all
the politeness that comes from
obeying the Golden Rule.

Woman.

A woman in neighborhood is
only exceeded by another woman.
She can love truer or hate worse
than men of ordinary calibre.
She can make of home a little
heaven or little hell.
She can make ten or a hundred
dollar bill go up, o! so quick.
She can drive a man out of a
house if her tongue be working
all right quicker than Beast Butler
could get away with set of spoons.
She is better than pine or stone
coal for keeping a neighborhood
boiling hot, and home more unen-
durable than a burn on your first
thumb joint; all the time making
you think she is bundle of refined
innocence, a saint, a favorable adj
vertising agent for Gabriel.
She can kiss another woman
sweeter and talk about her worse
than one of those Reform Republi-
cans can talk about the President.
And she knows more by intuition
of all the affairs of the neighbor-
hood than Grant knows about his
relations or the postoffice presents
he receives, or Is to-
She can be nicer to a woman she
hates than carpet-bag politician is
to negro before he has voted.
She can walk further to display q
new dress than loyal or disloyal
could travel for chick
ems in the night.
And God love her if she loves a
man, she will stick to him longer
than the Dent family to the immor

Easy to Pray.-A lowly Christian
woman said that she found it very
easy to pray always, for everything
suggested to her a new prayer
When she awoke she prayed that
she might finally awake to the re.
surrection of the just. When she
arose she prayed that she might at
last rise IN Christ's likeness. When
she washed she prayed that the
blood of Jesus might wash her soul.
When she ate she prayed that she
might be fed with spiritual food.
Thus every duty, every day, sug-
gested prayer.

Christmas for the Poor.

1t is very pleasant to sit by a
cheerful fire, with every comfort
around as, and read thrilling sto-
~ of some noble act of benevolence
in a distant town or city. We
heave a sympathetic sigh, and think
what wonders we would do under
similar circumstances, at the same
time looking beyond the opportuni-
ties we have at our very doors, to
exercise our generosity, if we pos
sess any. 1t seems natural for peo-
pie to wish to run from home for
everything, even to dispense their
charity. We are too Indifferent to
the people around us; like the priest
and Levite, too apt to pass on the
other side, wllfully neglecting to
see. If we have much beneyolence,
the time is approaching to dis
play it-Christmas, when every
one can give with the greatest
propriety. 1t is always more bless
ed to give than to receive, and we
can all bless ourselves in this way.
A little gift for some child; rarity
from our own table, for some poor
family that cannot afford it; a deli
CIV for some invalid mother or sick
babe. How little we may miss
them, yet, how much pleasure they
may give! If you have but little,
do not forget to divide with some
one less fortunate. and your pleas
ure will be double.
