What Smoking Does for Boys.


A certain Doctor, struck with the
large number of boys under fifteen
years ofage whom he observed smok-
ing, was led to inquire into the effect
that habit had upon the general
health. He took for this purpose
thirty-eight boys, aged from nine to
fifteen years, and carefully examined
them, and in twenty-seven Of them
he discovered injurious traces of the
habit. In twenty-five there were va
rious disorders of the circulation and
digestion, palpitation Of the heart,
and more or less marked taste for
strong drink. In twelve there was
frequent bleedingof the nose; ten had
disturbed sleep, and twelve had
slight liberation of the mucus mem.

ing was discontinued, when health
and strength were soon restored. This
is no "old wife's talk" The facts
are given under the authority of the
British Medical Journal.

Scratches is q disease which effects
the heels of horses, and is often call.
ed grease in the heels, or mud fever.
1t is 4 diseaseo of the skin, caused or
iginally by wet or filth, and the alb

produces diseased condition of the

be successfully treated by frequent
washing with warm water and soap,
after which apply the following
Melt togethertwo ounces of bees-wax,
two ounces of resin, eight ounces Of
fresh lard; add to this four ounces Of
turpentine, and stir until nearly
cold. The heels should be bandaged
to preserve. them from irritating
matter, mud, sand or filth. If the
disease is unusually yirulent, medi-
cine should be given. This may be

small doses, repeated daily until the
disease is overcome. If purging &C.

In the .Wee Sma, Hours,

IN Inc wee Snn;f HOurs.H
The Young man arrives home. any
time from midnight until two in The
morning. He getsinto the hall all
right, hangs his hat up and feels for
the banister. After he has wander
ed through the parlor, and out on
to the back stoop several times, he
finally gets ahold of them, and makes
out to reach his room. OF coursethe
moon has just gone behind a cloud,
and the room is black as o Zulu war
rior. The young man comes to the
conclusion that what he really wants
is a match, SO he begins the hunt
He holds his hands out before, so that
his face won't collide with anything,
and then steers across the room as
noiselessly as possible. A mystery
that can never be satisfactorily clear.
ed up is that a man who steps as
heavily as an elephant in the day
time will always walk On his toes
when lookingfora match in the dark.
Perhaps he is afraid that the match
will run away, or fly up in his face
and sting him. He finally reaches
the mantelpiece, and feels all around
the clock in vain. Then his nails
catch on the needlework Under a vase

the eclat that it can bring to bear
AS his boots are of his fear redoub-

he is too young to,die, SO he shoves
his feet along without lifting them
at all. He is SO intent on escaping
being cut that he doesn't notice the
close proximity Of the rocking. chair.
He flies over it as gracefully as any
one could without due preparation,
and deposits himself in the crate
He comes out of this with his ears
and mouth full of dust and cinders
and torn memorandums, and is wild
as tiger. In his great hurry he
stubs his toe on trunk, and before
he can recover himself, drives his
foot into q metallic spittoon and is
unable to get it out. Every time he
puts that foot on the floor it sounds
like a tin-shop advertisement. He
meanders over to the bureau and
finds u match. He is happy now be-
cause he has triumphed. He doesn't
feel mean any longer, Even the
cuspidore on his foot he regards as a
satin slipper. He strikes the match
under the marble slab on the bureau,
but it doesn't light. Of course there
is a reason for it. 1t has been light.

Take five pounds of any hard

Examine Your Chin.

A pointed or round chin indicates
a congcnial love. A person with
such chin will have 4 beau ideal
and will not be easily satisfied with
real men or woman. The indented
chin indicates a great desire to be
loved; hungers and thirsts for aifec,
ton. When large in woman, she
may overstep the bounds OF etiquette
and make love to thee one that pleascs
her. A narrow square chin indicates
a desire to love, and is, more common
among women. The broad square
chin indicates ardent love, combined
with great stcadfastnes8 and p,rma-
nence of affection. The retreating
chin is indicative of the want of at.
tachment, and but little ardor in
love. The chin, in its length and
breadth, indicates sclf.wilI resolution,
decision, etc. Carnivorous animals
have the upper jaw projecting. In
man with projecting jaw will be
found large destructivcness and love
Of animal food; when the lower jaw
does not project, then the love for

Bran for Cows.

A great recommendation Of bran
as food for COWS is that it restores to
the soil the phosphates and other sa-
line materials which milk carries of
in large quantity. The pastures of
our old diary farms have become ex-
hausted of their saline clements by
the vast amount Of milk and bones
they have produced, and thele is no
more elfectual restorer of fertility
than bran. We have seen wonder
full effects on old, worn out pastures
by feeding the cows, not only in
winter, but all through the year,
with wheat bran. In summer it is
fed, three or four quarts per day to
each COW made into q mush with
whey, and the result is seen in the
pastures, not as soon, but as nearly
as in the milk pail. In the winter,
bran and roots, or bran and meal, in
conjunction with early cut hay,
make cattle thrive and give wond'
erful potency to the pile Of manure.

REHoBoTH.-If there ever was any great |
prospect or hope in making Rehoboth
religious seaside resort as was apparent to
the gentleman who first dreamed out the
enterprise, (for it is q well-known fact that
the whole project had its origin in dreamy
it must be by this time quite abandoned.
The fight of last summer which stirred up
no little feeling and which was called off by
Chancellor Salisbury, was brought to what
might be termed final issue last week and
the Iworldlings" came out more than two
best in three, the vote standing in the
election of ten new directors, 175 on an
average vote for dancing (the real question
though in the back ground) to GO against
The leadership of the victorious party was
under William Bright proprietor OF the
"Bright House" while the Camp Meeting
Association was led by Rev. j. B. Quigg.
When the Rehoboth Association was Or
ganized no one not member of church
could be a director, but the charter was
subsequently amended allowing one third
of the Board of thirty to be outsides, and
among the newly elected directors are
several who have no interest in Rehoboth
beyond its material success as watering
place. The gentlemen elected on We'd
nesday are VIM. Bright, VIM. II. Billany,
E. S. r. Butler, George G. Lobdell, c. F.
Rudolph, Thomas F. Plummer, Henry G..
McLear, j. Morton Poole, Edward Bring
hurst, Samuel F. Belts. Though the Asso-
citation is hereafter to be run on business
principles, the number of religious men in
the board of directors will doubtless have a
restraining influence and keep them from
running into wild designations. A resort to
the seaside partakes of the nature from the
very start of frolic, or rather "good
time" on being released from the cares oi
business, or with the young lady of "home
rule" and the dash OF the wild waves and
the fitting through the halls of elegant
trouSseauS has no tendency to arouse de
votional quality of the mind. This aspect
of the question has been apparent from the
beginning, if not acknowledged; the re
suit being reached only little earlier thar
