Death Rate in Various Occupations.
Manufacturer and Builder.

Nobody doubts that the occupation of
an individual has much to do with his
general health, and with his chances of
death. Statistics prove that the death
rate is lowest among scientists and pro-
fcssional men-not physicians; then fol-
low Protestant clergymen. engineers,
farmers and laborers; next carpenters,
machinists and workers in iron; then
come schoolmasters, tobacconists, ply
sicians, and finally the clergy of the Ro-
man Catholic church. among whom the
mortality is much greater than among
the Protestant clergy and the other pro-
fessions named. Next we have drug
gists and butchers, then miners and
glass manufacturers, plumbers and cop.
persmiths, railway employees and dock
laborers, and last of all carmen, cabmen
horse-keepers and inn-keepers, among
whom the mortality is greatest, and
much more than double that of the first
mentioned occupation.
The deduction which may be drawn
from these facts is very instructive and
practically useful; they prove that the
quiet pursuits of science tend to pro
long life as well as outdoor labor, pro
vided it is not on railways or among
shipping or horses; that to work in iror
is more wholesome than to work in leat
or copper, as might be expected, while
the confined labor of schoolmaster il
as injurious as the state of celebacy ot
the Roman Catholic priest; lastly, tht
inn-keepers, being most exposed to thu
temptation of intemperance, have thu
least chance for long life, as well al
those with whom they habitually keel
company.

large or small, poor or rich, free or
bound, that God has put there. IF we
shut the hand and keep this character
hid, we soon begin to be left handed, and
lose our influence. Then, IF the salt
has lost it's SAVIOR wherewith shall it be
salted?" He says, If We love me, keep
my commandments" Christianity is
like the mist on the mountains, softens
the hard heart of man, scatters light
and truth over the world, and is the
golden chain that reaches from earth to
heaven, that binds us to the Godhead.
Christianity speaks to the heart of sin
full man, and says, "Thou art the man.
1t speaks in trumpet tones to the wan
derers in all thoroughfares of life, say
ing, This is the way: walk in it." It's
still small voice whispers peace to cv-
cry bereaved heart, to every child of
sorrow, and says, "Lo, | am with you
Away, even to the end of the earth"
Let not your hearts be troubled, for
earth has no sorrow that Icannot cure"
Christianity says to it's disciples, Eye
are the light of the world" do not hide
it, then, nor place it under the rubbish
of this world, but help, by holy living,
to lift the standard higher, that all may
take knowledge of you that you are
true disciple. Christianity is a living
power and a progressive power 1t has
lifted the cloud of superstition and ig-
norance that held such fearful rule in
past times, and is still striving to dark
en- the free institutions of this free re-
public. Up, then, Christian! Gird on
the whole armor of your christian war
fare. Be steadfast, firm, immovable,
always abounding in the work of the
Lord. So shall you reap your reward.

A Warming to Advertisers.
Utica Observer.

The insanity of DIR. J. G. Aver, of
Lowell, affords terrible warning to ad-
vertisers. Here was a man engaged in
the manufacture of pill not differing
much from hundred other pills that
may be obtained at any drug store In
an unguarded moment he made up his
mind that he would advertise, not in the
picayune style of the ordinary dealer
but in comprehensive sort of way, by
which he could reach every possible
purchaser of pills He started with the
idea of devoting half his profits each
year to advertising The result might
have been foreseen He accumulated
money so rapidly that he did not know
what to do with it. When he rolled to-
gether $4,000, 900, and had vainly tried
to find some outlet for his increasing
profits, his mind gave way under the alb
sorbing cares of his vast business. and
he is now patient in an insane asylum.
How easily this calamity might have
been averted. If he had stuck to the
conservative methods of many of our
merchants, and refrained from advertis-
ing, he might have been passing quietly
through bankruptcy now, instead OF be-
ing loaded down with his uncounted mil
lions 1t is a dangerous experiment for
a man who does not want to become
rich to advertise Or if he advertises at
all, he must advertise grudgingly and at
long intervals, lest his profits should
grow out Of all proportion to his require
ments, and he soon would tnd himself
burdened with wealth Advertising con-
Quoted on the principle of devoting one
half the profits of buiness to it, is, VIC
repeat, dangerous experiment 1t pre-,
cipitates fortune upon the advertiser
so suddenly that the chances are he will
not know what to do with his money.

Little Things.
Church Union .

1t seems to me that the very kernel
of our individual religion lies in our
christian helpfulness to one another
and. as far as regards our fellow beings.
our truest expression of it runs over
along this line. At the same time, it is
truth poorly understood, at least poor
ly practiced Very much of our own
happiness and the happiness of those
about us, lies in the daily practice OF
this spirit. 1t is the little things OF
life that largely make our happiness
or misery it is the little worries Of
life that gradually wear out the powers
of nerve and brain. And small kind
nesses have great power to soothe and
cheer and comfort us. We can show
our desire to help Others by habitually
speaking kind to them. How many an
over-worked wife and mother would
start with glad surprise at some kind
word of love and encouragement spoken
by her husband. in the morning And
how many husband after day Of
toll and anxiety, would forget it all
just through the influence of kindly
smile of welcome and a CHEEKY word
from his wife ! / say these little things
have a great power to make home
happy, and keep the remembrance
fresh and bright of hours long since
passed by. Then little thoughtful acts
will surely follow the kind words, small
in themselves, but showing the loving
thought which prompted them. Do not
put off these things until it is too late,
but do them now.

Indian Achrery.

Indian archery is somewhat different
from that practised by the young la
dies and gentlemen of more civilized
society. These latter take the arrow
between their fingers, place it against
the bowsprit, and make it assist in bend
ing the bow An Indian does not do
this He takes his arrow between the
thumb and index finger, and pulls the
bowstring with his middle finger nor
does he raise his arrow as our boys and
girls do he shoots straight out from
his shoulder, and appears to take no aim
whatever. He hits the mark, though,
too often. as the soldiers at the garrison
can tell, who have flung their caps or
hats into the air. at some Indians sug
gestion only to have them pierced by an
unerring arrow. The growing papoos-
es, that is as soon as they are able to
toddle, are furnished with bows and
arrows, of which the points have been
sharpened, and may be seen about the
reservations, shooting at marks, and
small birds, or anything else that may
happen to attract their attention. They
generally become experts at the age of
about ten or twelve, but are not allowed
to graduate in buckage and all the pleas
ures of the chase until they are
sixteen or eighteen Then is the time
the real pleasure of the Indian is found
to eliminate in his first hunt after
buffalo.

How TO KEEP VEGETABLES IN WIN
TER.-There are few general rules
which should be well understood, and
which, if understandingly applied, will
enable those who raise their own veget
ables to keep them in good condition in
nearly all instances much longer than
is often done. These rules are l..
To keep them cool without freezing,
and without alternating changes of tenn
perature. 2. If they dry up and shriv
alfas beets and parsnips), apply by ex-
ternal means a certain amount of moist
ure. 3. If they do not shrivel but rot
(as potatoes and squashes), let the air
which surrounds them be dry and cool.

GRANDMOTHER'S ANSWER.


MRS. E. W. CHANDLER.
Yes. was once a little girl, darling,
And 1 loved to sit on my mothers knee;
was just as full Of mischief all the long day
AS ever a little girl could be.
ran about the garden and fields
To gather the first Wild flowers of spring,
And picked the dandelions with faces so bright
That grew near the Id garden swing.
had some well dressed little dollies, too,
And one that was black as night;
dressed 1t one day in red and blue,
But all said it looked like fright.
MY mother told me nice stories of
What happened when she was young;
OF her girlish sorrows, and her pleasures, too
And of things she said and done.
And Christmas came then, as it comes to each
place,
With plenty of mirth and good cheer,
And we hung up our stockings by the old fire
hearth,
And lay listening, old Santa Claus footsteps
to hear.
But we soon were far into the land of dreams,
Auu IOrkOt even CdItd NlduS illiuSclIs
For sleep bro't to us new joys and bright scenes
That dismissed all tho't of that mystical elf.
But when we awoke at morn's earliest hour,
We knew our old friend had been there;
And we enjoyed his good gifts as we never can
again,
For time has stolen our life's bright dover.
Now am getting old, little darling,
But l can never forget those long ago days,
Nor how l walked beside my mother to church
To hear people chant, in sweet music. Gods
praise.
Now love to read the dear old Bible,
And wear glasses to make the words plain.
And know that ere long He will take me
Away from this world of sorrow and pain.
And as catch bright glimses OF heaven,
And almost see the bright angels in glory,
My mother is whispering to me of Gods love,
Repeating her old earth's story.
l know she's been waiting long time.
Until my days on earth are DER;
That her hand will be the first clasping in mine
When l reach heavens evergreen shore.
And now, little darling, if you wish to learn
The way to true happiness here,
Seek first the knowledge that comes from
above,
And give yourself to His keeping and care.
That He may crown with His love all your days,
And keep you from sins fearful snare.
And clothe you in his robe of righteousness,
Is your grandmother's loving prayer
