LEAVING IRELAND.
A Talk in the Cars.

"If you are out of debt, it is easy to
keep out; but if you are in debt and
have to pay interest money it's a hard
pull" So said the first speaker in the
car seat behind US, as we were going
home after work, to the seat mate be-
side him.
81 don't know about that" replied
the one addressed; it makes ali the
difference in the world who the man is.
Some men can't keep out of debt any
more than hen can keep out of the
garden. If they get out, they get in
again just as quick as they can, and
seem as happy about it as old TilIey
was about his SOUL"
ayes, / know,"' continued the first
speaker; "but L tell you it is easy to
keep out Of debt if you once get out /;
for If man has been harrassed by debt
as much as have for the last ten years
he will have learned lesson that will
be worth good deal to him. 1t is all
in being Independent, and in making
up your mind to get along without
things, and not getting them till you
have the money to pay for them. And
even then have taught myself to keep
my money in my pocket, even when l
wanted thing very much indeed, and
could have paid for it. But my expe-
rience has taught me that man is not
half so liable to buy things he does not
absolutely need, if he has the money in
his pocket, as he is if he gets it on
credit.n
81 have always thought the other
way about that" said the other, begin
ming before the first speaker had fairly
stopped. "You see, if the man has the
stamps in his fist, away they go for
things here and there, and before he
stops to think he is two or three dollars
out; but if he don't have the money
he can't spend it, and very likely he
wont buy the things and get them
charged.n
"Well, that depends upon the man
too, and the places he has been through" !"
put in the one who had begun the con
yersation. Experience is worth some
thing, and if man don't learn any
thing from it, he is dull scholar. Now
my experience has been that with mon
ey In his wallet which he has worked
hard to earn, he is going to be careful
how he puts it out, and he is sure he is
going to get the worth of his money in
things he needs before he spends it..

nights and much suffering of children
might be avoided by this simple cure,
which has been safely used on very
young infants 7i
8 The tortures which babies have to
undergo are so many and SO pitiful, and
visited impartially on all about them in
travel and at home so many ailing,
miserable little 'cfeatures are to be seen
on the cars and ferry-boats, taken out
by their distracted mothers for change
OF air, that feel it will be giving gen
eral relief to tell the advice of hOspi-
tai physician, which proved an entire
success in my own family. The pain
of teething may be almost done away
with, and the health of the child bene-
fited, by giving it fine splinters of ice,
picked off with pin, to melt in its
mouth. The fragment is so small that
it is but a drop of warm water before it
can be swallowed, and the child has all
the GOODNESS ,forits feve1ed gums, with
out the slightest injury. The avidity
with which the little things taste the
cooling morsel, the instant quiet which
succeeds hours of fretfuIness, and the
sleep which follows the relief, are the
best witness to this magic remedy. Ice
may be fed to three months child this
way, each splinter being no larger than
a common pin, for five or ten minutes,
the result being that it has swallowed
IN that time teaspOOnful of warm wa
ter, which, so far from being harm, is
good for it, and the process may be re
peated hourly, or as often as the fret
ting fits from teething begin.
1t is now the season when boys and
glpis In the country give their mothers
sad nights by coming home in the mis-
erles OF poisoning by ivy. The irrita-
tlon by this poison is acute, as l have
reason to know, but the speedy cure for
1t is wash of oXalIc acid, teaspoon
ful OF the salt to pint of water, with
which the poisoned spots are bathed as
often as they grow troublesome. The
lotion smarts severely for few min
utes, but is followed by cessation of the
poison pain, which itches as if one could
tear the part to pieces. The above
may need reducing for young children.
Make it weak at first, and add grains of
the salt till it is strong enough to give
relief. A dessert spoonful of sweet oil
taken daily is said to drive the poison
out of the blood, but three severe cases
were cured without it, to my knowledge,
by the acid alone. 1t should not be
put in tin or anything metallic, as it
corrodes, and may form poisonous COM
pounds.
1t will be useful for poor people, and
those in the country, away from the
drug stores and doctors, to know, on
the authority of DR.. Beach, the noted
botanic doctor, that a strong infusion of
yarrow (white tansy) and boneset is a
good substitute for quinine in fever and
ague, or other malariOus complaints.
The plants should be gathered when in
flower, and a double handful of each
stepped in one quart of boiling water
and drank freely three or four times a
day. The prescription was given by
Dominic Van Saxon, Il well-knOwn mis-
sionary to China for thirty years, who
studied medicine and the properties of
herbs before going out, as most valua-
BILE for usefulness among the poor.-N

Practical Hints for Summer.

Mosquitoes can be driven away from

sprinkle tablespoonful of insect pow

take fire, and blow out the blaze, close
the windows, and let the smoke rise fol
five minutes. 1t will not injure walls
or furniture, and does not harm human
beings, though obnoxious to insects

good home and good world A
school is big home and little world
the temptations to dishonor are much
alike in all three. A boy or girl self
trained in school-honor is therefore
learning to take the high stand every
where. Of course, talking about honor
and admiring it in stories and in history
will not make one honorable. 1t must
be practiced. One 'Non said to strong
temptation, and stuck to, teaches more
about honor than learning three of
''Plutarch's Lives" by heart. And it
must be practiced in little common
place acts, because few acts are other
than commonplace. How often have
you ever had a chance to be ''hero"?
Would it do to save your virtue for
those chances? Would you have any
to be hero with, if you did, So let
