WET BooTs.-A friend writes from
Europe: What an amount of discom-
fort wet boots entail, to be sure and
how well we all recall the fretful efforts
we have now and then made to draw
on a pair of hard baked ones which
were put up by the fire over night to
dry. Damp and adhesive within, they
are without stiff and unyielding as a
horn. Once on, they are sort of
modern stocks destructive of all COM
fort and entirely demoralizing to the
temper. The following device will rob
the wet barnyard of slushy winter or
spring evening of half its promise of
discomfort for the next morning: When
the boots are taken of, fill them quite
full with dry oats. This grain has
great fondness for damp, and will rapid
ly absorb the last vestige of it from the
leather. As it takes up the moisture it
swells, and fills the boot with tightly
fitting last, keeping its form good, and
drying the leather without hardening
it. In the morning, shake out the oats
and hang them in a bag near the fire to
dry, ready for the next wet night, draw
on the boots, and go happy about the
days work.

Col. Ingerson on Child Whipping.

The children of poverty my heart
bleeds when think of them the chill
dren simply covered by rag the chill
dren of famine and of starvation the
children of drunkenness and the chill
dren of crime, flotsam and jetsam upon
the wild, rude sea of life; the children
in alleys that crouch in corners when
they hear the unsteady step of drink
en- brute of father; the children, lit
tie babies with drinking mothers; the
children, too, of the rich that have no
liberty-these little children that are
crushed, that are trampled upon, that
are frightened, pity them all, from
the bottom of my heart. What right
have YOU to tyrannize over a child +?
have very little respect for man that
cannot govern a child without brute
force. Think of whipping children!
Why, they say that children tell lies,
Yes, cowardice is the mother OF lies
Tyranny is the father of lies. Suppose
a man who is as much larger than you
as you are larger than fiye-year old
child, should come to you with a pole
in his hand: "Who broke that plate ~
You would tremble, your knees would
knock together, and you would swear
that you never saw the plate, OF that it
was cracked when you got it.
Think of member of the Board of
Exchange whipping one of his children
for prevaricating. Think of a lawyer
beating his own flesh and blood because
he evaded the truth. Think of deal
or in stocks Furnishing his child for set
ting afioat false reports. What an in
consistency Think of it If you should
hereafter whip your child, l wish you
could have your photograph taken
when doing SO, with brows corrugated
with anger, your cheeks red with wrath
and the little child shrinking, trembling
crouching and begging If this child
should happen to die, wouldn't it be
sweet in the autumn when the maple
leaves are turning to gold, and when
the scarlet vines run like sad regret
out of the earth-wouldn't it be delight
full to go and sit on the mound that COW
cred the flesh you had beaten and look
at yourself in the act of whipping that
child?
Now, think of it; think of it; and if
all l say tonight will save one blow
from the tender flesh of infancy, am
more than paid.

children from their doors, and then get
down on their knees and ask God to
watch over them. Another thing !:
There is nothing in this world like be-
ing honest with these children. Do not
pretend you are perfection; you are
not and if one of them happens to tell
a story, do not let on as if the whole
world was going to burst. Tell them
honestly you have told thousands of

Do not Face the Light when at Work.

Statistics kept by oculists employed
in infrmaIies for eye diseases have
shown that the habits of some persons
in facing a window from which the light
falls directly in the eye as well as ON
the work, injure their eyes in the end.
The best way is to work with side
light, or, if the work needs strong
illumination, so that it is necessary to
have the working table before the win
dow, the lower portion of the latter
should be covered with screen, so as
to have a top light alone, which does
not shine in the eyes while the head is
slightly bent over and downward toward
the work.
In the schools in Germany this matter
has already been attended to, and the
rule adopted is to have all the seats and
tables so arranged that the pupil never
faces the windows, but only has the
side lights from the left; and as light
simultaneously thrown from two sides
gives an interference of shadows, it has
been strictly forbidden to build school
rooms with windows on both sides, such
illumination having also proved injuri-
GUS to the eyes of the pupils. We may
add to this advice not to place the lamp
in front of you when at work in the
evening, but a little on one side, and
never to neglect the use of a shade so
as to prevent the strong light shining
in the eyes. This is especially to be
considered at the present time with
kerosene lamps, with intensely luminous
flames, becoming more and more COM
mon.-Medical Journal.

What Can I DoP

You can be cordial with men. There
is no one thing, perhaps, in regard to
which the majority of Christians are
more sadly deficient than in the culti-
walton and use of our social powers.
We are too stiff, staid, formal, conven-
tional. But unhesitatingly we pro-
nounce it as our solemn cOnvictiOn-a
conviction that is the result OF many
years of close Observation-that no one
thing stands more directly in the way
to the enlargement of the borders OF
our Zion than the suppression of the
social spirit. Men want sympathy,
friendship. They crave warm, unaffect-
ed greeting. And if we win them to
our sanctuaries and hold them there,
they must have it. But they come to
our churches, sit through the service,
and go away oftentimes without word
of welcome from any one, unless it be the
pastor or one of the deacOns. Brethren,
these things ought not SO to be. Each
member of the church ought to regard
himself or herself as a COMMITTEE of
onen of invitation to welcome the stran-
gers, and urge them to come in and
worship with them again. The atmos-
phere of every church ought to be made
so pleasant, CHEEKY, warm, home-like,
that men will naturally, irresistibly, be
drawn--nOt by the brilliancy of the
pulpit, but by the magnetic power OF
Christian hearts. Thus drawn, they
will be held. You can invite men to
the Saviour. This may be to you,
doubtless is, the most difficult work to
which you are called. Yet we are per-
suaded that every Christian can do this
work. You may not do this as well as
others neither may you pray as well
as others. This, however, does not ex-
cuse you from either of these duties.
And we are satisfied that no work yields
so large returns as the personal work
for the salvation of men. Preaching
may be regarded professional so may
general pastoral work. But when the
Christian, from the general ranks OF the
Christian army, comes to his fellow-men
with message of salvation, it carries
with it potent influence for good
Western Recorder.

THE VALUE OF CELERY.-A writer on
health says: Celery is the greatest food
in the world for nerves. Persons doing
much brain work find it invaluable.
In cities, where the brain and nerves
are called to severe exercise, people
hunger for it. and the demand for it
grows SO that ignorant people cannot
understand why it should be so. 1t
seems as though nature, in her quiet
way, finds and materializes out of her
self food or recuperation for all parts of
the system that are exhausted in the
demand for progress. Where people
work their muscles more than their
brains, beans, corn, meat and such food
is most in demand, and celery is not in
much demand. But in cities, where
brain and nerves are overworked, ap-
petite clamors for something that will
repair the waste and do the weary parts
the most and quickest good.

Training Boys for Husbands.

If had sons should try to surround
them with such influences as would
make them crave beauty all their lives
They should be taught to love the best
books, the finest pictures, the highest
music, and more than all, kind words
and thoughtful deeds. There is no rea-
son why the life of boy should be a
barren, practical life, missing that which
trains the heart to love beauty. ask
you, mothers, if you are doing as much
in this way for your sons as for your
daughters. You smile and ask how any
difference can exist between the sur
roundings of boys and girls in the same
house. But say there is a difference
You, in the first place, give your boys
the smallest, darkest, ugliest, bed
rooms in the house. If you don't be-
lieve it, go up stairs and see. Possibly
your hired help has worse room. If
you have dingy, half-worn carpet, it
is "good enough for the boys" If you
have cracked mirror or a creaky chair,
ditto They have nothing but a rickety
table or dusty mantle on which to put
their things, and if they possess closet
in which to hang their clothes they are
fortunate. Is it strange that boys in
such apartments throw down their
