A Dreadful Worm.

Who has not heard Of the rattlesuake or
copperhead An unexpected sight Of either
of these reptiles will make even the lords OF
creation recoil. But there is species Of
worm found in various parts of this land,
which conveys poison of a nature so deadly
that when compared with it the venom Of
the rattlesnake is harmless. To guard our
readers against this foe Of human kind is
the object of the present communication.
This worm varies much in size. 1t is fire.
quently an inch through but as it is rarely
seen except when coiled, its length can
hardly be conjectured. 1t is of dull lead
COLOR and generally lives near spring, OF
small stream Of water, and bites the unfor-
tunate people who are in the habit of going
there to drink. The brute creation it never
molests. They avoid it with the same in
stinct that teaches the animals of Peru to
shun the deadly Cova when it waylays their
pathway. The symptoms of its bite are ter
rible The eyes of the patient become red
and fiery, his tongue is swollen to an i'm
moderate size, and obstructs his utterance,
and delirium of the most horrid character
quickly follows. Sometimes, in his mad
ness, he attempts the destruction of his
dearest friends. II the sufferer has a fam
| lily, his weeping wife and helpless infants
are not unfrequently the objects Of his fran
tic fury. Such is the spell in which his
senses are bound, that no sooner is he re-
covered from the paroxysm of insanity occa-
stoned by one bite, than he seeks out his
destroyer to be bitten again. / have seen a
good old father, his locks as white as snow,
his steps slow and trembling, beg in vain of
his only son to quit the lurking place of the
worm. My heart bled when he turned
away, for knew the hope so fondly cher
ished, that his son would be to him the staff
and support of his declining years, had sup
ported him through many sorrow. Youths
of America, would you know the name OF
this reptile 1t is the worm Of the still p

The Liquor Traffic Slavery.

Official reports from various parts of the
state and nation, through half century
past, attribute seven-eighths of the poverty
of the people to their use of Intoxicating
drinks. The dramshops are the active
agents of destruction to the people and gov
ernment, everywhere making" the rich richer
and the poor poorer" Abolish the liquor
crime, and seven-eighths of the whole work OF
labor reform is ended. If we would pre-
vent this baneful aggregation of wealth in
the hands of the few, we must aid and pro
tect the many in acquiring and holding
property. The most cruel, oppressive aud
destructive form of capital slavery which is
crushing the laboring masses in our country
and throughout the civilized world is that
of the liquor traffic. Prohibit this great
crime against God and the people. STOP
this enormous waste of the fruits of labor
Give back to the laboring men the ten
thousand millions of dollars OF which they
have been robbed in the last ten years by
that stupendous robber and destroyer of the
people, the liquor traffic, or save that amount
for them through the next ten years, and
they will be instantly transformed int
capitalists. They will all have homes Of
their own for their families, aud will be
come owners of large part of the corporal,
wealth of the country. Thus the presen
dangerous issues between capital and labol
will be safely and permanently settled il
favor of labor, on the right basis OF honesty
justice, law and order.--Seiected.

his scholarz luv him the chances are he will
neglect their lurnin, aud i'll he don't lick 'em
now and then pretty often, they will soon

Every young one in a distrikt skule is a

What the Law Can Do.

1t is an awful thing when we look at the
terrible system Of Furnishing the victim and
throwing the egis of the protection of law
around the tempter. Why, there was poor
fellow, in every respect good sort of man,
in New York state, who was occasionally
intoxicated. He went one afternoon into a
public house aud took something to drink.
One drink led on to another, and in the mad
ness of it in the evening he went home and
struck his wife blows that killed her. He
was promptly arrested. He spent that'night
in Jail. In the morning when the keeper
OF the prison woke him up as he lay on the
floor of the cell he said, "Hallo, where am
i? Why, this looks like a Jail look here,
have you got me in jail ?" Yes, you are
in Jail" "What am in Jail for 2" I" Don't
you know ?" "Don't know? know
never was in Jail in my life before. Have
been kicking up row." "You are in
Jail for murder" "What you do not mean
it p Yes, | do" "Have | killed some
body ?" "You have" 90, what will be
come of me? Tell me does my wife know
t2' Your wife Why, don't you know it
is your wife you have killed? ?" He uttered
one cry, and fell like log. The man who
keeps that prison holds license to sell
liquor, and the sheriff who will hang the
man, If he is hung, owns the place where he
got his liquor and was tempted to drink.
Now, | say that is wrong. If there is pun
ishment for the tempted, there should be
some hindrance on the action of the tempter
If he is not shut up ogether.-Seiected.

Care Of the Eyesight.

In order to preserve the eyesight some
rules concerning light should be Observed
particularly when the light is artificial. If
shade is used on the lamp or burner Gt
should, by preference, be of ground or
:" milk glass, never of colored glass;, the
light may stand directly in front OF the body
and the work be allowed to lie in the light
under the shade, which will protect the eyes
from the glare of the flame. If no shade is
used the back should be turned to the source
of light, which ought to fall over the left
shoulder The same rule applies in the
management of light. In this case the
light should come from behind and slightly
above and fall directly upon the work,
whence it is reflected to the eye. 1t should
never fall directly in the face. Even during
sleep this question of light is of some i'm.
portance. As rule the room during sleep.
ing hours should be dark, and particular
care should be taken to avoid sleeping oppo.
site window where, on opening the eyes in
the morning, flood of light will fall upon
them. Even the strongest eyes are, after
the repose of the night, more or less sensi
tive to the impression of intense light. The
eyes must have time to accustom themselves
to the stimulus. Particularly should this
care be observed during convalescence from
illness, when the eyes generally lose some OF
their power.

Know the Meaning Of Words.

1t should be remembered that the success
of the student in any department of intel
lectual labor must, of necessity, depend
largely upon the clearness and accuracy of
his comprehension of the meaning of the
language employed to express the truths
and principles underlying the subject under
consideration, by the thorough mastery of
which, mental growth and strength are pro-
NOTED and erudition secured. Important,
then, is it, that from the outset Of his edu-
cational career the student should appreciate
the necessity of a complete mastery of the lam
guage used. By this we mean that the stu
dent should not only be able to spell accurately
aud write correctly but also to understand
every word that occurs in the text book, or
is in any way employed to illustrate or ex-
plain the subject under consideration. We
believe that the great defect in primary in
struction, especially in most of the schools,
is the permitting children, term after term,
to read page after page to pass from branch
to branch of study, with little or no under
standing of many of the words employed
and the misfortune is the greater that the
words least understood are usually those
which furnish key to the knowledge Of the
subject
