Cheerfulness the Offspring of Health.

That equable state of the mind which is I'M
ruffled by trifling incidents, and looks on the
sunny side of things in general, is the result Of
a healthful state CT the brain and stomach.
The dyspeptic and nervous invalid may-al-
though this is indeed-feign cheerfulness
and may bear the harassing symptoms which
prosecute him with an assumption of heroic
Indifference, but in reality he is the victim of
dependency. To experience genuine cheer
fulness of mind the stomach must recover its
lost tone, the thinking organ its normal quiet

Hob RUSSIANS LEARN ENGLISH.

HON RUSSIANS LE4RN ENGLISH.
The Russian method of acquiring for
eign languages is more methodical than
that of any other nation. In the first
place a foreign nurse, usually English,
is secured for the baby. The Russians
are very careful in choosing this person
age, because, as she is not on any ac-
count to breathe into the infants ears an
accent of plebeian Russ, her speech must
be free from these colloquialisms in
which ladies like Sariey Camp are apt to
indulge. When the child is about 9
years old foreign playmates are sought
for it. During the summer months the
children of the English and French resi-
dents in Russia are at premium. It is
regular practice for them to spend their
holidays on the estates of the Russian
nobility. Beside the pleasure which the
trip into the interior affords them, they
mostly return home laden with presents,
and, if boy is sharp enough to be able
to add little grammatical instruction to
his practice as % conversationalist," he
may pick up enough pocket-money to last
him the remainder of the twelve months.
Lastly, tutor or governess is engaged
for the child until it can converse in a
foreign language as freely and faultlessly
as a native. Language masters make
fine living in Russia. In spite of their
numbers English teachers may be
counted by the hundreds charge
high price for their instruction, and are
held In great esteem by the Russians,
who often retain their services for wears.

NE4TNESS OF DRESS

If she desires, farmers wife can be
as neat, or even fashionable, as her city
neighbors. Because you live on farm,
and feed the pigs and chickens, you need
not disregard your personal appearance.
When you buy !. piece of furniture, get
the latest style, for you can get it just
as cheap, and it will last you just as long
as the old style of twenty years ago; and
when you get dress, although it be
nothing but calico, cut it fashionabIy.
but don't trim it, for it don't pay to trim
a cheap dress. Don't slip on dirty
wrapper in the morning and twist your
hair up in knot, and kick the dog. and
tread on the cat, and scold your husband,
and tell your children to keep out OF the
way, for You have a big days work 20
do, and must not be hindered. Don't
do it-al the work you will do will not
compensate your family for your looking
so dirty and untidy. You can be help
meet to your husband in the true sense
of the word, and still be neat and fash
ionable.

" Survival of the Ffttest.o

The ingenious doctrine propounded by Mr..
Darwin, the tireless Investigator of nature and
her laws, is as applicable in determining the
fate of medicines as in that of the animal spe-
cies. Every year new remedies are brought be-
fore the public, and are soon completely dis
carded as their sale rapidly decreases. Only
those medicines which are best suited to the
peoples wants survive the test. If they GO are
tried and found wanting" in the merits which
they are claimed to possess, no amount of adj
vertlslng will make them popular. Of all the
remedies ever introduced to the public, none
are so popular as DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines. Their sale has steadily increased each
year, and wholesale druggists assert that the
present demand for them is greater than ever
before. If you would patronize medicines
scientifically prepared, use Dr. Pierce's Family
Medicines. Golden Medical Discovery is alter

cough remedy; Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
scarcely larger than mustard seeds, constitute
an agreeable and reliable physic Favorite Pre-

HOME DECORATIONS

A meager home may be made beauti-
full by the ingenuity Of tasteful woman.
There is usually no better excuse for a
barren home than ignorance or careless
ness. A little mechanical skill can make
brackets and shelves for the walls. A
thoughtful walk in the woods can gather
leaves and ichens and ferns for adjoining
the unpictured rooms. A trife saved
from daily expenses can now and again
put new book upon the table OF shelf.
The expenditure of a few shillings can
convert the plain window into conserya-
tory. In these and fifty other ways can
plain, bare room be converted into a
scene of beauty.

THE inventors of RTTRNET-T's CocoA1,

knowing that when the loss of hair occurs, it
Is generally from that part of the head where
the greatest heat is necessarily Generated, and
that animal fats by their nature induce heat
rather than alleviate it-turned their attention
and pharmaceutical science toward vegetable
oils as the basis of a medicament to promote
the growth and preserve the beauty of the hair
The oteu'a cocos, or CocoANUT OIL presented
itself most strongly, as possessing many prop
critics peculiarly adapted for the purpose; but its
odor was Objectionable, and its density (except
when exposed to heat) seemed for long time
to defy all efforts to render it available for pop-
ulsr use IN cooler climates BY q scientific Sc
lection of other Ingredients those which will
chemically combine with the oil have been dis
covered, and they together have produced a
compound which is unqualifedly pronounced to
be the best that has yet appeared.
In the form presented this oil is permanently
deodorized, and held in combination which
peculiarly adapts it for the toilet BUnNETT's
ness-cooling in its nature possesses such
penetrating affinity for the secretions of the
skin that it is rapidly absorbed.
Its greatest efficacy is best secured bv per-

THE ST1RS.

There is great truth and small
error in the familiar phrase, "the in
Vulnerable multitude of stars The
stars which cannot be seen either by the
naked eye or the telescope are, of course,
innumerable but very satisfactory
progress has been made in counting
those that are within our reach. Ac-
cording to Highlander, there are visible
to the unassisted eye, on the horizon of
Berlin, during the course of the year,
1886 stars. According to Humboldt
there are 4, 146 visible on the horizon of
Paris. The mean number which can be
observed in every part of the heavens,
visible at the same time and place, is
said to be about 5000. AS only half of
the heavens can be seen at the same
time by the same person, the sum total
for both hemispheres must be at least
double these figures. The British Asso-
citation catalogue gives $500. Accord
ing to the calculations of Strive, the
total number of stars visible in the entire
heavens, by the aid of Sir William
Herschel's twenty-foot reflector, is more
than 100000. Herschel estimates
those in the milky way alone at least as

900, 900 not too much for the grand ag-
gregate. If we could add to these that
infinite host which neither eye nor lens
can catch the faintest glimpse of, the
mind would be overwhelmed by the vast
ness of that illimitable creation of which
we sometimes fancy ourselves the most
important feature.
The distance of the stars is as impress
i've as their number Alphi Centauri is
the nearest, if we can speak of nearness
in connection with $4,000, 900, 900, 900
miles. The light of that star, travelling
at the rate of 1876, 900 miles second, is
three years coming to the earth. Twenty
two years are required for the light of
Sirius to accomplish the same journey :;
and the Polar star, the most useful and
best known of all, filings its radiance
down to us fifty years old. "Thus, !"
says standard authority, eff we mag
inc a sphere having for it's center the
sun, and for its radius 200, 900 times the
mean distance of the sun from the earth.
none of the innumerable stars which we
see shining during our nights will be
comprised within it. And, nevertheless.
the volume of this ideal sphere contains
275, 900, 100000 times the entire volume
of our planetary sphere-the radius of
which stretches from the sun to Neptune.
If we now imagine our sun plunged in
space to the distance of the nearest star,
and calculate, according to the laws of
optics, what will be the reduction of it's
light, we find that it will but put on the
ightness of star of the second magni-
tude-that it will shine with the brillian-
cy of the Polar star and the principal
stars in the constellation of the Great
Bear" Each one of these sparks gem
ming the brow of night is sun, and, in
all probability, the center of system
resembling our own. Each of them is a
source of light and heat to worlds which
no earthly vision can ever touch.

FITTING FOR HIS TBJsI

A singular case has come to light from
the Superior Court of Ayacucho, in
South America Twenty years ago, in
drunken fight, an unfortunate Indian
was killed In that city by another who
was actually crazy from the effects of
liquor. The punishment for such Of
fenses is five years hard labor. The
culprit was committed to prison, and
awaited his trial for exactly twenty years,
his case having been called only a few
weeks since. Then he was sentenced to
the five years penalty! As soon as the
President was made acquainted with the
affair, he ordered the Attorney General
to investigate the case, which now is be-
ing done. The offender may escape tue
term of five years, but has been Obliged
to await such an indulgence for twenty
years, spent in a lonely dungeon

L4DIES OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
LOUISA JOHNSON ADAMS.

Mrs. Monroe could have resigned her
honors into no hands more fit to receive
them than those of Mrs. John Quincy
Adams, the last of the women of the Rev
olutlonary era who occupied the White
House. Louisa Katharine johnson, al
though of American and Southern line
age, was born, educated, and married in
London, her marriage taking place at
the age of %; her father, although living
abroad, being full of patriotic interests
and employments, and gladly giving her
to one already so identified with Ameri-
can affairs as John Quincy Adams. Mrs.
Adams was highly educated and accom-
plished, with literary tastes, warm feel
ings, fine manners, and a sufficient share
of beauty. The first portion of her mar
ried life was spent at the Court of Ber-
lin; but few years after their return to
America her husband was accredited
Minister to Russia-being our first Min
lister to Russia, as his father was our first
to Great Britain. Mrs. Adams decided
to accompany her husband abroad. or
perhaps he decided it for her, and she
left two of her children at home whom
she did not see again for six years, sail
ing with him and her baby to be absent
eight years-the most extraordinary
years of modern European history, when
Napoleon was achieving his destiny.
Much of the excitement of these years
passed under Mrs. Adams eyes, and she
was sometimes in the midst of it. Find
ing 1T necessary to join her husband in
Paris, she left Russia with her servant

now dug out from the mighty SHOWS.

There was a man so very tall
That when you spoke you had to bawl
Through both your hands, put like cup,
His head was such long way upi
But there as something even sadder-
His wife had to go up a ladder
Whenever she desired kiss
And he, alas, was proud Of this
Said he, 3" am the ta1lest man
That ever grew since time began"
As down on house-top he sat;
Well, he icas tall but what Of that :?
This nlonstrous man, as we shall see,
Was punished for his vanity;
He grew and grew-the people placed
A telescope to see his waist!
He grew and grew-you could not see
without telescope his knee;
He grew till he was over-grown,
And seen by oversight alone.

So it goes, back and forth, until all
the crew have been brought across.
Some of them get pretty wet, and some
of them get soundly thrashed by the
breakers, but they are certain to be
saved, as the cork rim of the basket, be-
ing under the arms, keeps the head above

In our country they sometimes send
close hfe-cars to and fro over the haw-
ser. This car is entered from the top
by means of little trap-door. It con-
tains air enough to last four persons

the boys would, too.

4 Storm -Ahont SQUIRRELS.

Freddie is bright little boy 6 years
old. He goes with his papa and man.
ma every summer to stay few months
at nice place in the country. In front
of the house, near the fence, stands a
large elm-tree, which is the home of
many little squirrels.
One day Freddie got his papa to build
him a small shell on the tree, about
four feet from the ground, SO that he
could put nuts on it to feed the squir-
rels At first the little fellows were very
shy, and would not come near the shelf,
but sat on the branches of the tree, and
we fancied that we heard them saying to
each other, ''Do you think that little boy
would hurt us if we should run down
and take one of those nuts2''
But after while they came down, one
by one, took the nuts, and went scam
pering up to the top branches, and in
few minutes down came the empty shells.
They grew SO tame before the summer
was over that, if we put anything on
their shelf and took a seat a few steps
away, they would come down quite
boldly and get their breakfast.
One day we put small ear of sweet
corn on the shelf. Pretty soon a little
squirrel came after it; but it was too
heavy for him so he sat down on the
shelf, as though quite at home, ate off
about half of the kernels of corn, to
make his burden lighter, and, after try
ing many times, finally got it up to his
hiding place. Presently we saw all the
squirrels running to that part of the
tree, and we thought he might be hay
ing a squirrel-party in his best parlor.
There was large pond not very far
away and we often saw the squirrels
go from tree to tree, jump fence here
and there, and run down behind stone
wall to the pond to get a drink, and
then run home again. If they had only
known as much as some squirrels we
read about, what nice sail they might
have had by jumping on a piece of
wood, and putting their bushy tails up
in the air for sail Wouldn't it look
funny to see a squirrel yacht-race?
As we sit in our warm rooms in the
cold weather, we often wonder what the
little fellows are doing, and if they are
eating any of the nuts they stored away
in the summer

SoNGs ON TIE SEAsHoRE.-A Lon
don clergyman, Rev. DR.. Cummings,
thus beautifully illustrates the commun-
ion OF the good on earth with the good
in heaven:
was reading the other dag that, on
the shores of the Adriatic Sea, the wives
of fishermen whose husbands have gone
far out upon the deep are in the habit
at eventide of going down to the sea-
shore and singing, as female voices only
can. the first stanza OF beautiful hymn.
After they have sung it they listen till
they hear, borne 10y the wind across the
desert sea, the second stanza sung by
their gallant husbands as they are tossed
by the gale upon the waves, and both
are happy. Perhaps, if we listen, we,
too, might hear on this desert world of
ours some sound, some whisper, borne
from afar, to remind us that there is a
heaven and home and when we sing
the hymn upon the shores OF earth, per-
haps we shall hear IFS sweet echo break
ing in music upon the sands oftime, and
cheering the hearts of them that are
pilgrims and strangers, and look for a
city that hath foundations.
