STOP DRINKING VINEGAR.

How many young women who have in
herited predisposition to ''embonpoint"
have ruined their health by drinking vim
egar TO reduce their forms tsgracelu pro-
portions. Allan's Anti-Fat is absolutely
harmless. 1t promotes digestion. and ac-
complishes its work simply by Preventing
All undue assimilation Of the fatty ingre-

There is no more prolific cause Of
disease, productive of much sick
ness, lost time, expense and heavy
doctors bills, s,than the very prevalent
practice Of going without sufficient
clothing in very cold, stormy, inele-
ment weather. It's not enough to have
great coats and big boots. The sx,
tremities, especially, need protection.
If the legs and arms are constantly
chilled and the blood circulates slug
gishly, the nervous system is insult
fciently nourished. and congestion
Of the blood is apt to occur. Cold
limbs, too, promote rheumatism and
neuralgia, and are prolific sources of
pneumonia and typhoid fever. The
writer found out to his sorrow, last
| winter, which was not severe at all
compared with the present one, tina,
young healthy persons could suffer
severely by being insufliciently clad
The process of making such persons
hardy by nsglecting the ordinary
care to be warmly clothed is often a
fatal one, engsndering diseases from
which the patient cannot recover
Even young healthy boys and girls
should have warm wooden under
clothing over the arms and lower ex-
tremities. An ounce of prevention
is worth a ton Of cure, and a few
cheap, yet necessary, precautions in
this way will often prevent severe
chronic disease that may have to be
| fought with for the rest of lifetime
Let every one, then, by all means
wear socks and mittens when ex.
posed to the weather, and warm un-
derclothing at all times. Keep the
boots we'll oiled and impervious as
possible to wet and cold air. Wash
the feet twice or three times week,
keeping mp the circulation of blood,
and pour coal oil in the boots and on
the socks on the slightest attack OF
chilblains or frosted toes. BY all
means, keep as warmly clad and as
comfortable as possible at all times,

BY fearing God, is meant to fear
to offend him; and to offend him is
sin; and this is not Of fear, but of
love; who that loveth any one, doth
not fear to do him harm; and the
more he loveth him the more he
fearelh it? Without this fear love
is lfeless and superficial, appertain-
ing to the thought only, and not to
the will.

TRUTH Is SURE TO WIN.

Step by step the Temperance cause
Advances to the goal:
And bit by bit it takes the loaf,
Until it gets the whole.
Although with slow yet steady pace,
1t urges on its way;
Before it BacchuS shall recede,
AS night before the day.
And wicked men against the truth
May fight, but fight in vain,
A little while they seem to win;
But truth is sure to reign.
Truly in vain shall earth and hell
The march of truth oppose;
For truth shall live, forever live,
Triumphant DER her foes.

A BRUTAL FATHER.

One day recently respectfully
dressed man carried a we'll grown
child, muflled and apparently sick,
into one of our hotels. He placed
the child on the stairs and began to
talk to it in very unkind, rough
way. The attention of the guests
was attracted, and they gathered
around.
"You are able to walk up stairs by
YOURSELF" said the man, II won't
carry you"
"Oh! oh ~ the child sobbed, "do
carry me up--please pa, do ! You
know ever since | was run over by
the cars, and lost both my feet, |
can't walk up stairs alone -
That's all stuff % the man an.
sversd. "Get up at once or III
make you !"
The poor child began to sob worse
than before and the brutal man gave
it severe thump over tho side OF
the head. The child moansd pit
eouly. The Indignation Of the by
ISLANDERS was excited, and one Of
them said to the man:
SIS that child yours ?"
whats that to you ?" answered
the man, 81 won't tell you!''
"He's-my-fatheri" the child
sobbed, "and-he-kiled my mother
I-just-as-he's a-going-to-kill-
me-"
The man doubled his fist and made
as though he was about to give the
child savage blow. One of the by
ISLANDERS interfsred and said, "Say,
if you don't stop this, 7 II call po'
iceman. ne'er saw such brutal
father in all my life %
The man began to tumble in his
pockets, and the child cried OUT:
"Take care He's going to stick
you"
Sure enough the man produced
knife and opened it. The crowd
slipped off one by one except two.
"Bring an officer! one of these
cried to friend.
"If l am to be arrested" the man
said, "it shall be for something"
And thereupon he plunged the knife
into the body of the child. The
child shrieked: "l'm murdered ! I'm
murdered - and crowd rushed to
the spot. The man quietly raised
the child in his arms, and removing
his hat, said:
"Gentemen, this is wooden
child! Pm ventriloquist, and any
little offering you may be pleased to
make will be very acceptable"

Example.
Unknown Exchange.)

No precept or exhortation is so power
full as the force of example. Man is nat
urally initiative. The child will initiate
the boy; the boy the youth, and the youth
the man. Whether the example be good
or bad, it will be telling in its effect. The
disposition to initiate exists in the most
trivial as we'll as in the most important
things-and it is the young that are most
inclined to it. This seems not to be con-
sidered by many parents, who appear to
be very careless and indifferent as to the
examples they set their children.
An impression, good or bad, is easily
made on the plastic mind OF the child,
and it remains the most enduring i'm
preston is made by act whichis tangible
and becomes an example. If the father
uses protane language, the child will soon
begin TO swear; if the mother is intemper-
ate it will not be long before the daughter
will follow in her wake.
Let man preach ever so much, if he
does not practice that which he breaches
his words are entirely lost. Practice is a
hundredfod more potent than preaching.
Its effects are visible, and they extend far
and wide. Like pebble cast in the wa
ter, the ripples it creates extend indefinite
ly. No man can tell how far-reaching
NAV be the results of bad action of his,
nor the extent of the scandal it may give.
Neither does he know how much good
may be effected by an act of charity, or
benevolent deed, or by an upright course
of life. The effects continue long after
he has forgotten the acts or quit this
sphere.
ANY of the virtues, as charity, faith on
self denial exemplitied by acts and DEEDS
will make an impression on the VICIOUS
which no discourse or eXhortation can be-
Gin to do They are proof of sincerity
which all, even the bad, cannot but, re-
spect. Words plentiful, cost nothing, and
NAV be used for mere effect, of which ire'
oucntlv they produce none but our acts
conduct and demeanor under all circum
stances afford an example that is felt by
those we meet.
The daily walk of the Just man is more
effective for good to Others, in illustrating
the peace and contentment derived from
virtuous life, and in the example afforded
than would be, from him, endless ha
rangues and most powerful eXhortatlons
Each and all Of us produce an effect uPoI
others by our example, be it good or bad
and we will be held accountable accord
ingly.
Many persons never give this matte
any thought or consideration. 1t is no
sur rprising that youth go astray, in vieV
of the example frequently set them. Scan
dal and bad example are the cause OF un
told sin in this world. Our Savior has, il
a number of instances, solemnly warned
those who give it. He says it were bet
ter that they should perish than to scan
dalize His little ones.

A Successful Editor.

Mr. Iohn T. Delane, who has been ed
itor of the London "Times" since IS4G,
has lately resigned his position. He was
only thirty-fou wears old when he was
made editor-in-chief of the paper, and he
retired at the age Of eighty years.
The Times" is, beyond doubt, the
greatest newspaper in the world. Others
excel it in the amount of news they print
but not one publishes so much that is both
new and true. Others perhaps present
articles that are as well written, though
this can be said of very few of its con-
temporares; but not one expresses itselI
in better language or with better taste.
The strength of the "Times," that which
makes its opinions respectable and re-
spected, and gives it an influence over the
public sentiment, not of England only
bat Of all civilized nations, is its steadias
adherence to principle. 1t has made ms
takes, but it is always ready to correc
them. Its opinion is not invariably th'
same on the same subject but it neveI
changes from low or sordid motive. By
a steady devotion to what appears, witt
its best light, to be the right, through
long life, the "Times" has won a deserved
reputation for thorough integrity and fair
ness.
As we have said, the "Times" is no
| always right, because no man is lntalllbIe
| But Mr.. Delane can take with him mt
retirement the consciousness of havln
welded power greater than that of hi
Queen, and of having used it to make tn
world better.
Many time have the utterances OF tn
"TimeS," directed by him, swayed tn
popular feeling from one side Of gre'
question to the opposite side. The law
OF Great Britain bear the impress OF HI
influence. He has helped to make an
unmake governments And yet, in a
his work, he has neither been pulled
by success, nor grown arrogant in asser
ing himself.
| His life is fine example to all youn
men who would be great, and the pap
he edited so long is, if not . perfect mod
one that every newspaper in this lar
would derive benefit from copying.

Louis Legrand, of the French National
Assembly, has been applying statistics to
the marriage question and finds that love
has very little or nothing to do with the
frequency with which young people enter
the matrimonial harness. Given cheap
bread, marriage follows with frequency
in exact ratio with the cheapness and
plentifulness of the staff of life. In
Hungary, for instance, where the soil is
fertile and wheat abundant, marriages
are more frequent than in any country
of Europe. In Sweden, where grain is
scarce, marriages are less common, and
in Ireland, where food is scarce, least
common of all.

The chin, in its length and breadth, in

A narrow, square chin indicates the
desire to love; and is more common
among women.
