How ii Sedentary Life Affects
Women.

The Popular Science Wonthty re-
marks that all OF the ills and diseases
prevalent among women III our day.,
are no doubt traceable TO The seden-
tary mode OF lie so common among
them. The progress OF the industrial
arts has done away with much OF the
household drudgery TO which wo,
men were formerly subjected ana
the result is i'll too many cases, want
OF sufficient occupation for needed
bodily exercise. 1t says, the fruits OF
this state OF things are striking eX'

by the late DIR. Robinson, Man

THE CORN AND THE LILIES.

Said the corn to the lilies,
Press not near my feet.
You are only idlers,
Neither corn nor wheat.
Does one earn living
Just by being sweet I"
Naught answered the lilies;
Neither yea nor nay.
Only they grow sweeter
All the livelong day.
And at last the Teacher
Glanced to come that way.
While His tired disciples
Rested at His feet,
And the proud corn rustled
Bidding them to eat,
Children" said the Teacher,
THE life is more than meat.
Consider the lilies,
How beautiful they grow!
Never king had such glory,
Yet no toll they know"
o happy were the lilies
That He lOy ed them so.

A Farmer Gives a Lesson in Law.


The average American farmer GER
tainly knows how to look after his
interests, aud he has a keen wit that
is hard to get over. For example
Some days ago the conductor of a
freight train saw couple of fine
looking ducks on the river near the
track. He had a shotgun in the ca
boos car, and stopping the train for
few minutes, he got off and shot both
of the birds. He thought this was
something to congratulate himself on,
and when he reached his home he in
vited little party of friends to par
take of the fruits OF his proves. A
couple of days after this the conduc
tor happened to be stopped at the
place where the ducks had been shot.
He got out his gun and walked down
to the river with the intention of bag
ging a couple more, it possible. He
had scarcely reached the edge Of the
river before man, who looked like.

the ducks were not wild ones

off to the nearest village.
"Where are you going? What do
you intend to do p asked the con-
ductor..

he leaned against tree, Il am GO
