Experience is = valuable part Of an
education. Girls should carly learn to
purchase material for their own cloth
ing. Parents chn advita them at the
start, but il will be a good plan for girls
to learn 10 rely ON their own judgment.
The purchases can lie talked over after
they arc made. Let your daughter,
with little advice, cut upa few yards
IL calico and make aprons and bed
quilts, dresses, even If there Is little
waste. She viii be likely 70 seo her
own mistakes and profit by them. Le.
her mako some cakes and bread, and
broil SONS meat and pop some corn, no
mntter if she does have 10 throw some
in the, swill pail It is better u
make few small mistakes while young
Ia acquiring an education, than
to grow up without experience. They
must learn Some time, or make great
blunders during good portion of then
lives, when left to rely on themselves
In many respects children are not trust
ed enough. They are ''bossed" toC
much.

It is just about 500 years since the
tirst terrible Turkish invasion poured
into Europe, in the very districts where
the war was lately carried on. In
eleven years it will be precisely 500
years since Amurath ]. overthrew on
the borders Of Servia, the then mighty
kingdom Of Servia, in one Of the
"world battles" that of Kassovia, q
bloody struggle which SO impressed
itself upon the minds Of men, and was
followed by such immense consequences
to that portion of Europe, that the Ser
Wan and Bulgarian peasants all refer
to it as an event which still affects,
even now, their destinies. And they
do not exaggerate it's consequences.
After Amnrath followed Bajazet, sur
named the Lightning" and in his
track was desolation and hills Of human
heads. The Turk was then no s'sick
man." but q barbarian of unsurpassed
vigor, with, it must be allowed, . Ger,
tain talent for command. He swept
all eastern Europe, and but for the long
and heroic defense of Hungary, would
no doubt have conquered and helt
southern Germany, as he afterwart
conquered and hald TIirace and th,
Danubian countries. It was more thar
half century from the battle of Kos
sovia before the Turk wrested from thu
decayed Greek Empire the city of tn,
Golden Horn, which he has held ave
since.

Although csntenarIAns, II Is gen.
orally admitted arc occasionally 10 be
6und yet the chance OF attaining 100
years OF life Is bat slight, even TO
those blessed with good health and
sound constitutions. 4 fact mentioned
IN a paper entitled 'fPrineiplss TO be
Observed In the Valuation Of Life
Assurance Companies" read by Dir.
A. II. Bailey before the Institute Of
Actuaries at Kings College, Is very
significant on this point. Although
iIIe assurance has been practIsed IN
this country since the time OF Queen
Anne. one eentenArian only, aeRord-
ing 70 Mr.. Bailey's statement has
beeniound In the offices. The causea OF
extreme old age have heen few, and
the mortality throughout life has
differed from that OF tho general
population In O mach less degrse
than was hoped or expected. This
Is ali tho more remarkable, since the
lives insured are sapPosed te be
"picked lives." II the truth were
known, Il would probably be
found that the persons rejected by
life assurance offices often live TO 9
more advanced ago than those whose
lives are accepted. Persons with q
ssscrew loose In their constitutions
generally take more care OF them
selves than their healthy brethren,
They keep earlier aud more regular
hours, pay attention to diet, avolt
ali excesses, and arc rewarded by this
blessing OF extreme old age.

Many people are puzzled to under
stand what the terms '''fourpenny"' and
"sixpenny" and "tenpenny means as
applied to nails. @Fourpcnny" .means
four pounds to the Thousand nails, or
osixpenny7 six pounds to the thousand
nails, and 80 on. It is. an old English
term, and meant at first "tenpound"'
nails (the l 900 being understood); but
the old English clipped it to ''tenpun, +
and from that it degeneratod until 'pen-
NY" was substituted for pounds. =" So
when you ask for fourpenny nails now

4 Curious Cure for Rheumatism.

Henry Stanley, a resident of Antioch, says the Ledger, has suffered severely since June last, with rheumatism. From strong, robust man he was re duced almost 10 a skeleton; the joints, especially of the knees, were stiff and swollen, the cords and fragments con tracted and the case was altogether a serious one. Some one of the butcher boys suggested to Stanley the idea of bathing in and drinking blood. He was taken to McMaster's slaughter house and treated accordingly with most astonishing results. Placed in position 10 receive the warm sunshine, his limbs were bathed Tn warm blood fresh from the slaughtered animals; as soon as the blood was dried upon his legs, they were wrapt in fresh sheep's belt, another being bound across the back; he also drank freely of beef blood. In two days after commencing this treatment, Stanley discarded the use of his crutches, and IS apparently a sound man. He has the full use of his limbs, the swelled joints are in a natural state and the daily gains rapid ly in strength. This IS to us new remedy, ana whether like results would follow in all cases of rheumatism is a matter of conjecture, but it has accom- plished wonders for Stanley.
