Cultivate One Talent.

One talent, well cultivated, deepened
and enlarged, is worth hundred shall
low faculties. The first law of success
at this day, when SO many matters are
clamoring for attention, is concentra-
lion; to bend all the energies to one
point, looking neither to the right nor
to the left. It has been justly said that
great deal of the wisdom of man in
this century i5 shown in leaving things
unknown; and great deal of his prac-
tical sense in leaving things undone.
The day of universal scholars is past.
Life is short and art is long, The
range of human knowledge has in
increased so enormously that no brain
can grapple with it; and the man who
would know one thing well must have
the courage to be ignorant of thou
sand things, however attractive or in
viting. As with knowledge, so with
work. The man who would get along
must single out his specially, and into
that must pour the whole stream OF
his activity-all the energies of his
hand. his eye, tongue, heart and brain
Broad culture, many -sidedness, are
beautiful things to contemplate; but it
is the narrow-edged men-the men OF
ingle and intense purpose, who steel
their souls against all things else-who
accomplish the hard work of the world,
and who are everywhere in demand
when hard work is to be done.-lManu-
tacturer and Builder.

What DOCTORS ShonId Know.

An exchange which devotes special
attention to sanitary affairs suggests
that the several hundred young physi-
clans just graduated should supplement
their studies by course in hygiene
The advice is eminently good. but many
4 man will open his eyes in astonish-
ment when ne realizes that physicians
ne ed any such counsel; it seems as
ST ange as to advise business men to
study arithmetic or preachers to peruse
the Bible. The plain truth is, however,
that while the medical schools leach
young men how to alleviate pain and
heal the sick the greater art of prevent
ing disease is in its infancy. How many
physicians are competent to discover
whether the atmosphere of residence
is pure OF poisonous by reason of inl-
perfect drainagep How many can de-
tect impurities in drinking Water-one
of the most prolific causes of death in
country houses9 Have death-dealing
hot air furnaces been banished from
every considerable number of homes by
medical advice? Have many fanli-
lies been instructed by their re-
spective physiciaIs upon the
neeessitv and methods of home venti-
lation? Is the family food supply and
the manner of preparing it a frequent
subject Of professional advice? Al
these are matters of the gravest impor-
tance as affecting hun an life, yet nine
families in ten are continually violating
sanitary rules regarding one or the other
without word of remonstrance from
their medical advisers, and thereis good
ground fer belief that physicians own
families suffer as much as any others
from neglect Of these and kindred hygi-
enic requirements. Until the days OF
this Ignorance are gone medical atten-
tions will not rise above the level Of
mere pottering. Let the new genera
ton Of physicians regard these things If
they would secure and retain . good
class Of patients. TO attend family Of
children through diphthefia without
losing any Is quite d success, but 81
greater one would be TO discover and
abolish the cause when the malady
first naanifests itself, and the same is
true of the many other diseases that
are due to local conditions. Neac York

now postmaster at Savannah, was rid

Saved by His Skates.

An old Lake Superior trapper, named
Thomas Judson, as once suddenly
surrounded by band Of fierce Indians
from whom he expected no good. While
making free with his outfit, they found
pair of SKATES among bis other trap
pings, and were immensely puzzled to
know what to make of them. A funny
thought seemed to occur to the hunter
as he saw their curiosity, for his gray
eye twinkled merrily.
Ice moccasin,1 he said, putting o
skate on his foot, and then made with
his hands the gliding motion that the
feet take in skating.
"Ughm grunted the Indian chief,
pointing to the narrow blade of the
skate, and shaking his head. As they
were near the ice, Thomas proposed
to fasten them on young brave for
trial
The Indians welcomed the plan with
glee, for. though savages, they were
great lovers of sport. Selecting the
bravest and swiftest young fellow, the
chief bade him stick out his feet, which
he did rather suspleiously. The skates
were soon strapped on, and the young
buck helped to his feet. The ice was
like glass, and as be started to move,
you know what happened. His feet
few out from under him and down he
came with a crack Such shouts of
laughter as the rest setupi The young
fellow was gritty, and scrambled up
to try it again, but with the same re-
suit
The chief now signaled the hunter to
show them how the things worked.
Thomas fastened on the skates with
great care, picked up his rife and used
it as cane, pretending to support him.
self. He moved aWkwardly, fell down,
got up and stumbled around, the Indi-
ans all the time laughing and capering
at the sport. Gradually Thomas STUN
bled little further away, whirling
about and making believe it was very
hard work to keep his balance, until he
was near the point where the smooth
lake ice stretched miles and miles away.
Suddenly gathering himself up, he
grasped his rife firmly, gave war
whoop as wild as the Indians own,
and dashed up the lake Ike an arrow,
skating as he had never skated before.
If he had disappeared in the air, the In
dians couldn't have been more aston
ished. Of course they couldn't hope to
catch him, over the CLASSY ice, and they
stood gaping after him, wondering
more and more at the magic 6 ice moe
casinsn
Nothing pleased old Thomas in after
years than to tell how he "fooled the
redskins. ~ Golden Rule.

Domestie Econnmr.

correspondent of the Nese EalglGaad
Farnser says: A spendthrift is brother
to miser. Let US avoid both extremes.
The maxim that : penny saved Is two
pence earned" should be remembered,
especially by people in moderate circum-
stances. The difference between
penny earned and q penny saved is this:
In the former case you have to work for
l., in the latter you do not. Some Iani-
lies dress well and live well. while
spending less than half as much as
some others who never have enough TO
wear or eat. The difference is simply
one of economy and prudence. There
are poor. hard-working families always
complaining of hard times and poor
health, who ignore Indian meal as an
article of diet; fine bolted -four they
use, and that continually. Perhaps
they imagine that meal does not agree
with them. Doubtless they have weak
stOmachs, as the result of eating too
much concentrated food. Give a horse
nothing but flour for a few months, and
| venture to say he would not be able at
the end of that time to digest hay, or
even oats Let my wife make one OF
her good old-fashioned loaves of rye and
Indian bread, the rising material OF
which is composed largely of stale
bread, doughnuts, gingerbread. ETC.,
with cup of molassts in it to give it a
coed color and flavor and place it on the
table beside the best fine wheat bread
that can be made, and you will see that
nine-tenths OF those at tab e, old or
young, will take the coarse bread in
preference to the tiue, and yet the coarse
bread costs only about one-third as
much as the fine, pound fer pound.
Harriet Beecher has well said, if
housekeepers would take more pains
to cook well the coarser articles of diet,
people would not care nearly so much
for food that is finer and richer. Take
as simple dish as hasty pudding
when properly made, it is a dish g fit
for king but when half cooked or
seasoned, it is ft only for pigs or
chickens. Cooking is just as truly a
chemical process as any result secured
in q laboratory. And as in chemistry,
the least deviation from proper propoT-
tions in a given compound will give
result entirely different from the one
sought, so it is largely in cooking. May
heaven bless the careful, conscientious
cook-she is means of grace as well as
of health, for who can praise and serve
his Maker as he should with diseased
stomach or gorgei liver?

What to Do in Case Of Fire.

The loose garments worn by women
and children expose them to special
danger from fire. IF the fire starts
from the bottom of the dress, the ma
tural upward tendency of the flame
soon envelops the whole person, un-
less by self-control and presen ce of
mind the necessary care be taken by
the sufferer, or some one near, without
moments hesitation. To obey the
first impulse and open the doors and
rush out is sure destruction. The only
safety is to fall down instantly on the
floor, and roll over on to the fire,
snatching wooden shawl or rug, if
near, to wrap round the body. One is
comparatively safe by rolling over and
over, for the flames will not rise to the
face, and the lungs and breathing will
be less likely to be injured. Those
who may be in the room, or may come
in, have their work plainly before
them. Keep doors and windows closed !;
snatch the first woolen thing to be
found-a table cover-without think
ing of the work of art on it. Pull it
off Who cares where the bric-a-brac
rolls to? It is human life in danger.
Or snatch a wooden shawl from chair,
a curtain or rug anything-that one
human form is morevaluable. Wrap the
sufferer instantly into something that
is woolen-the coat from your back, if
nothing else offers-and thus closely
wrapped roll her on the floor in the folds.
Scores of lives have been saved in this
way, or lost for want of such immediate
action. In case the house is on fire
there should be one captain" if posi-
ole, who can lead the less self-possessed
ont of 4 hp hI1rni =, o hrri l1inu Eunru door
window or aperture through which air
can find entrance should be closely shut
except during egress There are always
eight or ten inches of pure air close to
the floor, and if one cannot walk erect
through the smoke he should, as soon as
enveloped in some wooden article, drop
on the floor on the hands and knees and
crawl out. A silk handkerchief or piece
of flannel or woolen stocking, wet and
