Unhealthiness Of Early Rising.

A German physician Of celebrity
has lately been investigating the
subject of early rising, and has come
to the conclusion that, from making
a man healthy, wealthy and wise,' .
it has quite the contrary effect, and
shorCens life instead o1 Drolonging
it. In the majority of cases which
he has Investigated the long livers
have INDUCED in late hours, and at
least eight out of every ten persons
who attained the age of so and up
wards were in the habit of not re-
firing to rest until the small hours,
and of remaining in bed until the
day wes far advanced. He has no
doubt whatever that early rising is
a most pernicious habit for those
who 90 to bed late; and, like
Charles Lamb, thinks it better for
everybody to delay getting up until
the morning has had a chance to
become well aired.

Sorghum.

If the cane is too ripe the syrup
will be dark and not pleasant tC
the taste. Avoid the other extreme
of harvesting too green, as the pro
ducts will be weak and apt to fer
ment and will not keep so well, nei
Their will the yield be as good
Again, do not allow the cane to
sucker, as the syrup will in that
case have a bitter taste. When the
seed is in the milk, strip the blades,
which may be done very expedi-
tiously by taking a lath and strik-
ing down the stalk. The dry blades
near the ground may be stripped by
hand as they will absorb the juice
pressing the cane. Others make
two trestles, cut the cane and lay
on the trestles, strip the cane, and
in either case it should be tied in
bundles, if not ready to draw to the
factory. The cane may be set up
on end under cover, and kept dry
until you leave the cane in piles on
the ground. Put something under
it so the sir can circulate, and be
sure not to cover with anything
that will prevent a free circulation
of air. or the cane Will mould and
the syrup will taste musty.

The Good Old Days.

Boys (and perhaps, girls too let's
all determine never to grumble a
gain about the times in which We
live. Suppose we had dwelled in
New Haven colony, just two hun
bred years ago. In 1869 they had
a law which said that whatsoever

of any Made or mai0e servant, eth

first gaining the consent of her pa
rents, shall pay to the plantation
for the first offense 40s, the second
"A for the third shall be mprIson

And furthermore, this statute was
enforced. A veracious history OF
the times says that under at Jacob

into trouble by setting down on a
chest together, his arme around hes
waste and her arme upon his shoul

her and she KISSED him, or they
kysed one another, as We witnesses

4 Husbands Explanation.

Sometimes a wife will think her
self neglected and uncared- for be-
cause her husband is not as atten
tive to her as he was before her
marriage. One of this kind, after
thinking this matter over all day,
broke out with, "You don't love
me any more" "What makes you
think soP' her husband asked in a
business-hke way, scarcely lifting
his eyes from the book which he
was reading. Because" she sob
bed, you never pet me any more,
and you are not half so attentive as
you used to be-" And then she
broke down in regular cry. The
husband saw that something must
be done. Laying aside his book
and regretfully relinquishing his
cigar-a man does hate to be dis
turbed when once settled for the
evening-he went to his weeping
wife and led her to the window.
"My DEAR" he said, edo you see
that horse-car coming up the ave
nue?" II do" she sobbed. "And
do you see that man running to
catch it?" "Yes dear, what OF it?'
And do you sec that he is straining
every nerve; that he is shouting at
the conductor at the top of his
voice, and doing his best to make
the car stop?" 81 do" said the
wife, whose curiosity was aroused,
''but what on earth, has that to
do zone moment, my dear
Look again. Do you observe that
he has caught the car, and that he
is no longer running, but Is probably
quietly inside, taking a rest. He
has got through shouting and run
ming, because he has caught the
car. Now, my dear"-at this
point he kissed away her tears-''it
is Just so with me. | have caught

satisfied monster led his wife back
to her seat on the sofa, and silently
resumed his easy chair, cigar and

Burns.

The best application for a burn
is a liniment made of lime water
and oil, beat together till it looks
like butter melted to dress vegeta
bIes for the table. 1t matters not
whether common lime or the chic
ride of lime is used, and either
sweet oil or linseed-oil will answer
Wrap the burned part in fine linen
covered with this mixture, and
cover thickly on the outside
with raw cotton to exclude the air.
Open it out once in "a hours, and
then carefully soak off the rags
with the lime water ana oil, so as
not to injure the tender skin that
may be forming on the wound
Battle well with the liniment, and
put on clean dressings of rags wet
with the liniment, and cover with
cotton as at first. Where lime can
not be had, the next best dressing
that we know of is SCOT and lard
mixed well, melted, and strained to
get out the coarse particles of SCOT.
In this case you may first use
strong alum Hater to assuage the
pain, and then put on a plaster of
the above. In any case, over the
rags put raw cotton, to exclude the
air and keep the part from being
rubbed.

Our Young People
MADE UP FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS
Sentiment and Sense.

Defer not charities till death.
Let no jest intrude upon good
manners.
The best fire does not flare up the
soonest.
Rely not on opinions, but cling
to your own conscience.
The wild oats of youth change
INTO the briars of manhood.
We hand folks over to Gods
mercy but show none ourselves.
Choose those companions who
administer to your improvement.
Kindness is the golden chain by
which society is bound together
A mans own safety is god that
sometimes makes very grim con-
mands.
Poverty is in want of much, but
avarice demands everything it has
not.
Ambition thinks no face so beau
tiful as that which looks from an
der a crown.
The tale OF Divine pity was never
yet believed from lips that were not
felt to be moved by human pity.
Friendships begin with liking OIL
gratitude-roots that can be pulled
up. The mother love begins deeper
down.
Be on good terms with your own
soul, and treat your body with all
the respect and reverence that are
due the temple of the soul.
Better a wrong will than a waver-
ing; better a steadfast enemy than
an uncertain friend; better a false
belief than no belief at all.
Hard speech between those who
have loved is hideous in the memo
ry like the sight of greatness and
beauty sunk into vice and rags.
For the chief source of peace we
all look higher-far above the tree
tops, the mountains and the bright,
sailing cIouds-far above earth,
even to Heaven.
Men spend their lives in heaping
up colossal piles of treasure, which
stand at the end like the pyramids
in the desert sands, holding only
the dust of kings.
Never witness a tear with apathy
or Indifference. Words, looks, ac-
tions, may be artificial, but a tear
is unequivocal; it comes direct from
the heart, and speaks at once the
language OF truth, nature and sin
cerity.
Some lives, like flowers, are fair,
but not fragrant. We love to look
at them, but do not care to. hold
them. Others then are sweet, glad
dening, but with less OF outward
perfection, yet we would have them
near US always.
The truly beautiful and good are
those who pursue the paths of vir
tue and justice for the mere love of
these attributes, and not because of
the merit that attaches to such
life, or expecting to reap favors and
rev ards therefrom.
Men plant the grain and timber
of everyday life with their strong
hands, which God made for that
purpose. Women fill in the hollows
and swelling banks with flowers,
ferns and delicate shade trees, which
make the vigorous work of the
strong hands beautiful.

Mother, Home and Heaven.

Bright and hallowed are the sweet
associations that cluster around
these three little words-mother
home and heaven. How sweet and
exemplary is the little child's limo
cent preference for its MOTHER
How soon it learns to know her
voice, and listen eagerly for her
approaching footsteps. It's the
mother who yields the greatest in
fuence over her child. She teaches
its tottering little feet TO walk in
paths of truth and rectitude; she
teaches her little charge to do good,
and points him with finger of love
to his God, and teaches his lisping
tongue to repeat, sour Father who
art in Heaven" How soon that lit
tie one learns to lisp the name of
mother, and look to her for a smile
of approval, regarding this as a
most ample compensation for all
trouble. How quick its young
heart grows sad when mother
frowns upon it thoughtlesuess. 1t
soon learns-when correctly guided
to go TO mother with al its troub-
les that may appear small in her eyes,
yet they loom up like mountains
upon the heart OF The child. Home

upon the world, and gazes with ad-
hiring eyes upon the beauties of
nature. Here be gains his first i'm

The Friendly Jamestown Weed.

The jamestown weed, upon the
bloom of which the festive tobacco
fly delights to feed. and which is
so obnoxious to many fathers, is
one of the friendliest weeds that
grows about the barnyard. A few
leaves bound to the forehead will
generally relieve the severest head
ache in few minutes. For bruis-
IS, boils, spraiIs and feyerish sores
of any kind, the leaves, stepped in
hot vinegar, camphor and lard and
applied to the affected part have no
superior. 1t may also be applied
to wounds and sores on horses and
cattle with success. jamestown
weed seed ground and given to a
horse in meal, by the tablespoonful,
with rosin, cures hrde and sim
liar diseases of the horse. They have
other medical properties and are
highly valued by drug dealers who
keep them in stock, when to be
had. 1t is worth while to save the
seed, and also dry the leaves for
making pouItices. Withal, the
jamestown weed, especially its
seed, is poisonous and should be
handled carefully. All tobacco
growers should raise a patch of
jamestown weeds as means of de- |
stroying the tobacco fly, which |

The Skool Boy.

The skool boy il the victim of
cirkumstansis. If he livs in the
country he haz to git up early enuff
to puntch the chickens off the roost,
then start the fire in the kitchen
stove, then put on the tea ket-
tie, and then 60 for the COWS. At
ter the cows have been milkt, he
hurries down his hash and buck
wheat kakes, and then thrashes
beans two hours With the old man
out il the korn krib. Now he walks
three miles in a sno path to the dis
trikt skool hous, and gifts thare just
in time to help split up sum wood
for the day fire. Skool opens, and
he takes his seat on the fatt side of
a slab bench and bends over a Web
ster's spelling book, dog cared, and
without emmy covers. For variety,
he stands up in a TO, and spells
three sillable words, or skratches
on a greasy slatea long sum in adj
dishun. Noon Gums at last and he
eats, up in a corner, his two slices
of stale rhye bread, and his piece of
pi krust, and drouLs the dri dinner
with a pint ov Iukewarm water, out
of a pine pail, behind the stove.
The only fun he haz IL to slide
down hill on a barrel stave, back ov
the skool hous, and git thrashed
when he goes home, if he happens
to wear out the toes of his boots
emmy, or rends the base ov hiz pan
terloons. Mite Gums, and he haz
had a days skooling, and plods bak
home to saw wood enough to last
next day, before he eats hiz puddin
and milk supper, and sinks off up
into the wood hous chamber, to hIz
corn husk bed, without emmy kandel,

thru the kracks in the cIaboards ov

Charlotte IN. c. )Observer: There
was a novel surgical operation per-
formed few days since in this vi
cinity. Mr.. James Moon had a
very fine calf choked on a large
green apple. He tried all the usual
remedies in vain, and finally gave it
up as a case beyond the reach Of
his skill His son John, who had
been standing quietly by, a very
interested witness of his fathers
unsuccessful efforts to relieve the
calf, took che case in hand. and
without counsel or advice from any
one removed the obstruction in,
the following very effectual but
novel manner: He caught the elf,
threw it down with its neck across
log, and then took a hammer and
mashed the apple, causing almost
immediate relief.

Death and the Mystery Beyond.

A child, thee years old, was dy-
ing OF scarlet fever. She fingered
long, and the last day of her life she
was unconscious for hours. Many
times her mother tried TO rouse her.
but in vain. She seemed to be sink
ing away in death without a token
OF recognition. Suddenly she open
ed her eyes wide, lifted her head and
looked round the room as though
filed with wonder and delight. She
clapped her hands and cried eagerly
to her mother, ''Oh, mama, see the
beautiful chiIdrenr Her mother
said, "Wherer" "Oh, all around, "
she replied, and she turned her head
as though she saw them in every di-
rection: No written words can de
scribe the rapture of her look and
voice. "They are coming, they are
close to me-" she said in a trans
port ofjOy. She put up both hands,
laughed out with that gleeful, ring
ing sound peculiar TO little children,
and then she died. Christian Ad-
VOcate.
