Girls. will you listen to a few words
of advice? Do not marry it you cannot
find a suitable husband. for bad hus-
band is infinitely worse than none.
Never marry fellow who is ashamed
to carry a small bundle; who lies in bed
until breakfast. and until his father has
opened his shop, store or Office, and
swept it out; who frequents taverns,
bowling saloons. prize lights. etc.. who
owes his tailor, shoemaker. washerwo-
man, jeweler, barber, printer and lands
lady. and never pays his debts- who is
always talking about his acquaintance,
and condemning them; whose tongue is
always running about nonsense. who
thinks he is the greatest man in the
neighborhood. and yet whom every one
despises and shuns. We say never marry
a fellow with all or any of these qualifi>
cations, no matter how handsome he is
or how agreeable he can make himself
on occasion. He will make a bad hus-
band.

said: ''McCarthy is the most eowardly

asked 0 'Brien what he meant by the
statement, and he denied it. Witnesses
were called who corroborated the re-
port and McCarty pasted O'Brlen on
the bugle-first round and first knock
down for Mccarthy.

The CRANBERRY AS A HOUSE
PLANT.-The common cranberry
is a most attractive house plant
when properly cultivated in pots,
and can endure a good deal of
neglect which would be fatal to
other plants. It only needs to
be. kept cool and moist. A COM
post of muck and sand is the
proper material for potting it in.
Although usually regarded as
aquatic in it's nature it will not
do to have the soil saturated with
water. What it requires is that
water shall be within reach of
its rsets, and that the soil shall
be one through which the water
can rise rapidly by capillary at
traction. Let the pot stand in
about an inch of water and it
will thrive better than in any
greater depth. The cranberry
roots readily from cuttings, or it
can be propagated by bending
the sprays down and covering
them with the moist compost. It
is beautiful at all times Of year,
and especially SO after the fruit
commences to ripen. Its red
berries will remain on the vine
for a long time and are highly
ornamental.

CAUSE OF SUDDEN DEATH
Very few Of the sudden deaths
which are said to arise from dis
eases of the heart do really ar
Use from that cause. To ascer-
tain the real origin Of sudden
deaths, experiments have been
tried in Europe and reported to
a scientific congress held at
Strasbourg. Sixty-six cases OF
sudden death were made the
subject of a thorough post mortem
examination. In these only two
were found who had died from
disease. of the heart. Nine out
of sixty-six had died of apoplexy,
while there were forty-six cases
of congestion of the lungs-that
is, the lungs were SO full Of blood
that they could not work, there
not being blood enough for a
quantity of air to enter to sup
port life The causes that pro-
duce congestion of the lungs are
cold feet, tight clothing, costive
bowels, sitting still, chilled after
being warmed with labor or rap
id walking, going too suddenly
from close, heated rooms into
the cold air, especially after
speaking, and sudden depressing
news operating on the blood.
The causes of sudden death be-
ing known, an avoidance of them
may serve TO lengthen many val
liable lives which would other
wise be lost under the verdict
"heart complaint" This disease
is supposed to be inevitable and
incurablc; hence, many do not
take the pains they would do to
avoid sudden death if they knew

Many mothers are either COM

her little one in her arms to hear
a famous preacher. The loud

MOTHERS AS DocToRs.-Prac-
teal mothers learn much by their
experience with the little bodies
intrusted to their care. Some of
the most common slnse facts in
the physical culture of these
little ones known to the more
experienced mothers may not
come amiss to those who have
had bIl little care Of children.
The foufdation must be well laid
to insurs healthy and happy
children. 1.-The child must be
well slept, well aired, we'll fed
and we'll bathed. By thorough
understanding and practice of
these four simple rules, much of
the physical, mental and moral
suffering in life would be avoid
ed by parents as we'll as child.
If a healthy child (and delicate
oneproportionately) is regularly
put to bed about dark, in a quiet,
well-ventilated, or even cold
room, after a supper of plain
food, it will naturally awake at
daybreak good-natured, with a
keen appetite for a wholesome
breakfast. Nutritious, plain food,
at regular hours, and no candy
or stimulants, and free bathing,
help the system to ward off many
prevalent children's ailments,
and to bear with much less dang.
er the few that must necessarily
come to the majority of little
ones. The child that is Just
given little confectionery, or
any unsuitable food, and then
rocked to sleep, should cause no
surprise at waking peevish and
feverish. 1t is simply the result
of imaginary affection and want
Of knowledge on the part of the
one in charge. 1t will certainly
pay in the end to search diligent-
ly for the cause when little
child is proverbially cross.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
I. Dillon, Paster. The sermon at IL
o'clock A. NJ, was on the cruciflxion of
our Lord. The place. circumstances,
design and witnesses of the crrcifixion,
were among the priests notice, and also
the benefits to the living and dying who
secure personal and loving interest in
Christ's death. At night the subject of
discourse was the !rath of Gods word.
The text was John. II chapt. II verse
An explanation of the text and contest
was followed with a service of the
grounds of our belief in the Divine in>
spiration of the holy scriptures. The
arguments from the history. subjects
matter, style, harmony, and elevating
influence of the Bible were dwelt upon,
as well as those from prophecy and
miracles. A reasonable man will want
to be on the safe side in questions of
eternal interest. Let him build then
upon the rock of Gods word his hopes
of the hereafter, at least until something
better than that word is furnished.
