WHAT SMOKING Does FOR BoYs.-A
certain doctor, struck with the large num-
Der of boys under fifteen years of age
whom he observed smoking, was led to in.
quire into the effect the habit had upon the
general health. He took for his purpose
thirty-eight boys, aged from nine to fifteen
and carefully examined them. In twenty
seven of them he discovered injurious ira
ces Of the habit. In twenty-five there were
various disorders of the circulation and di.
gestion, palpitation of the heart, and more
or less marked taste for strong drink. In
twelve there was frequent bleeding of the
nose, ten had disturbed sleep, and twelve
had slight liberation of the mucous men,
brane of the mouth, which disappeared on
ceasing from the use of tobacco for some
days. The doctor treated them all for
weakness, but with little effect until the
smoking was discontinued, when health
and strength were soon restored. Now,
this is no ''old wife's tale," as these facts
are given on the authority OF the ssBritish

A Swedish Poem.

A Swedish Poem.
1t matters little where was born,
Or if my parents were rich or poor;
Whether they shrank at the cold worlds scorn,
Or walked in the pride of wealth secure;
But whether live an honest man,
And hold my integrity firm in my clutch,
you, brother, plain as am,
1t matters much!
Itmatters little how long stay
In a world of sorrow, sin and care;
Whether in youth am called away,
Or live till my bones and pate are bare;
But whether do the best can
To soften the weight Of adversity's touch
On the faded cheek of my fellow man,
1t matters much!
1t matters little where be my grave,
On the land or on the sea;
By purling brook or meath stormy wave,
1t matters little or naught to me;
But whether the angel Death comes down
And marks my brow with his loving touch,
As one that shall wear the victors crown,
1t matters much!

How TO BREAK OFF BAD HABITS
Understand clearly the reason. and all the
reasons why the habit is injurious. Study
the subject till there is no lingering doubt
in your mind. Avoid the places. the per-
sons and the thoughts that lead to the
temptation. Frequent the places, asso-
ciate with the persons, indulge the
thoughts that lead away from temptation.
Keep busy; idleness is the strength of bad
habits. Do not give up the struggle when
you have broken your resolution once,
twice, ten times, a thousand times. That
only shows how much need there is for
you to strive. When you have broken
your resolution just think the matter over
and endeavor to understand why it was
that you failed, SO that you may be on your
guard against a recurrence of the same
circumstances. Do not think 1t little or
easy thing that you have undertaken. It
is folly to expect to break off habit in a
day, which may have been gathering
strength in you for years.

If conversation be an art, like painting,

FARM AND PRESIDE.

To PREVENT WORMY APPLBS.--A
German pomologist has discovered sim
pie method of preserving apples from the
nasty worms which so frequently Turk at
the core or which bore into the surface,
leaving trail of filth behind them. The
moth parent of the worm, it was observ-
ed, oftenest lays it's eggs between the
leaves Of the calix, and the plan is to cut
off the calix close to the apple when it has
reached the size of a hazel or walnut. The
prominent situation of the calix at that
period of the fruits growth greatly facil-
itates its removal, and those instances in
which the cutting slightly damaged the
calix tube the wound soon healing over
and became covered with a yellowish- green,
closing the tube, and thus creating an inn
passable barrier to the insect. As regards
the shape of the apple, this is somewhat
altered by the above treatment. 10 as to
render the variety less easily distinguisha-
BILE, but the slight diminution in length,
resulting from it's adoption, is more than
compensated for by increased thickness,
total absence of grub, and consequently
finer appearance. For the purpose OF COM
parison, a considerable portion of the fruit
on each of the trees selected for the orig
inal experiment. had been left in its natu-
raj state, and the apples operated on were
chosen quite at random, regardless OF as
pect or situation. The fallen fruit under
the different trees was found to consist
exclusively of such as had been operated
upon.-Erchange.

To TEST SEKD.-The vitality of seeds
may be tested by placing a sample of al
most any of the larger kind of seeds or
grains upon hot pan or griddle. When
the seeds are good and the vitality is per-
feet the specimen will crack or pop open
with more or less noise; on the other hand
if the seed is not good, or the vitality is
defective, it will remain still and burn.
This is much quicker and surer plan Of
testing seed than to plant in earth or warm
water. To test them in this way it is not
necessary that the seeds be perfectly dry,
although they should not be too moist.

Children's Rights.

the most comfortable ciothing, and the
best home that his parents can afford him
When he is old enough he has right to
such employments and anlusements as
will keep him from idleness and vice. The
child has right to the mpanionship OF
the pure and innocent of his own age, but
above all to that Of his father and mother.
The child right Of property should be re-
spected. Let him feel that whatever he
has is his very own; not in name only, and
that father, mother, sister or brother can
not take possession Of it when so disposed.
By respecting his rights in this matter. he
will learn to respect the rights Of others,
When a child is old enough to enter
school, he has right to pleasant school
room, to comfortable seat, to good venti-
lation, and to such attention from the
teacher as shall prevent his stay in school
from being a physical calamity. The child
has right to such mental training as
shall tend to the development of all his
faculties. If one is cultivated to the ex-
clusion of another, he is defrauded of his
right to the full use Of all his powers. The
child has a right to be taught how to
think; how to find out for himself ways of
doing things. How little originality We
now find among school children! Half the
time they will study and recite their les
sons without giving single thought to
their meaning. Their essays are sketches
taken from some history, or extracts from
the cyclopedia. The child has right to
it's own individuality. A bright little girl
was put into one of our model city schools.
After attending the school a few weeks,
she was asked how she liked it. swell"
said she, II suppose it is very nice, but [
wish there were some Marys and Jennies
and Toms and Dicks and Harrys there"
SPEAK THE TRUTH.-How few there
are on whose word we can implicitly rely !
In relating an affair every man labors to
make himself the aggrieved party; and no
one seems to doubt that he is in tho right.
To hear the same story from the lips Of
another, no one could suppose him to be
in the wrong. Because mankind have
Esuch disposition to vary from the real
facts, no one can tell exactly what to be-
lieve. And yet this practice of varying from
the truth is productive Of immense injury.
Many fair reputation has suffered, and
is still suffering from It's effects.
The wisest course for man is, to be-
lieve nothing that is spoken against ano-
ther until he has heard the story of both,
or been present and seen the transaction.
There are men who are SO prejudiced
against others by the stories that malice
or revenge has whispered in their ears,
that they will have nothing to say to them
nay more, they will not even notice them
in the street. You may have all seen the
effect of mis-statement and falsehood in
this respect, which should be sufficient
inducement for you never to speak unless
you are sure that you are setting sands of
truth. There is a large amount of misery
produced in the world from this cause;
therefore we would have you guard with
care your heart and your lips and think
nothing and speak nothing but the pure
unadulterated words of sobriety and truth.

To MAKE REAL HONEY SoAP.-Cut
two pounds of common bar soap into thin
shavings, and put it into tin pail, with
barely hot water enough to cover it. Place
the pail into kettle of boiling water, and
when it's contents are melted stir them
thoroughly and add a quarter pound Of
honey, a quarter pound of almond oil, and
quarter pound of powdered borax. Mix
all together by stirring well for ten min
utes. Then add oil of citron, a few drops
of bergamot, for any scent which may be
preferred. Mix it we'll. and turn the soap
into dish to cool, then cut into squares.
1t can be used at once. but improves by
age. 1t can be made into soap balls by
adding quantities of white sand and
Indian meal, until it is SO stiff that you
can roll it in the hands. There is no soap
that will whiten the hands like this.

A SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.
Special TO the Republican,

Paducah, KY, July 19.-An appalling
accident happened over in Illinois, Pope
county, opposite this place, andabout twelve
miles back in the country, yesterday evening.
Meyers Il Wertman, runners Of steam
thresher, were at work abouttive miles west
Of Dixon springs, in the Bay bottoms, when
their eDgiue exploded killing three people
outright and woundlng thirteen others. Of
the wounded some six were MORALLY
injured, and one died during last night.
The five others can hardly survive One Of
the killed was the engineer, Wertman, and
his body was blown over hundred yards.
A piece Of the boiler passed through his
body and tore it almost into threads. The
engine was being run without steam
gauge, with the safety-valve tied down
with q rope. The engine was considered
very safe and Wertman had but shortly
before wished the thing would blow up.
The large number Of persons injured seems
to have been the result of curiosity. The
machine being somewhat Of wonder TO
people of that neighborhood, they had
gathered TO witness its workings and were
all standing around at the time Of the ex-
plosion. One of the killed was colored
man and the injured are about equally
white and black.
