Natures Dressing for Wounds.
A LESSON FROM A TOAD.

A few years since, while standing in
the shade during the heat OF the day,
a toad hoped along at my feet and
attracted my attention from having
what appeared to be very large fore
arm. STOPPING down, | found that
from the shoulder to the elbow-ioint
the fore-leg was encased in earth, which
was very smooth, dry, and hard. In
quisitiveness being well developed, l
had, of course. a natural inclination to
see what was inside, SO holding toad
" with piece of stick ! broke the
crust of hardened mud, and found, to
my surprise, large flesh wound ex-
tending from the shoulder to the ell
bow, half Of the muscle being bruised
and raw. From the smoothness of
the work, I judged the dressing had
been made from dry earth and the
spittle of the toad. as it would be SEEM
ingly impossible for it to handle mud
and apply it in such a manner. [
thought nothing more of the matter
for a year or more, until one night one
of my children retired with very sore
toe from some unknown cause, and
about midnight was wild and restless
with pain. / arose and opened the
liberated part, and afforded him relief
for the time being; bnt the pain return
ed, and by the next hour he was as
restless as ever. After trying to give
relief in various ways | thought OF
the toad, and, taking an old stocking,
I put some mud, made of clay and wat

the child's foot. In ten minutes he
was asleep, and slept well the remain
der of the night, and in the morning
the toe appeared nearly well. [ have
found that a mixture Of earth and
spittle is preferable, and | have used
it since upon every occasion where
remedies are necessary for the relief
of ulcers or healing flesh wounds, and
prefer it to any ointment or linlment
that [ have ever seen or made during
many years experience as druggist.
Furthermore, | believe that every
movement that Christ made while here
on earth was for the purpose Of ''leav-
ing us an example" and when he
anointed the eyes of the blind with
clay and spittle he was using one OF
Natures remedies that is always at
hand to the poorest person living. Il
we were to follow his teachings in all
things, we would be far more nearly
perfect here, and better prepared fo1
the world to come. W. T. ALAN.
NoTE.-With the writer's permis-
sion, we would add only that the spit
tie should be natural and not impaired
or poisoned by tobacco-juice, if good
results from such an earth-dressine
are to be expected. ED.

In THE WOODS.
BY LAURA GARLAND CARR

By LAURA GARLAND CARR.
Here on the soft brown leaves lie,
Deep in the woodland shade;
No bit of landscape meets my eye,
Nor one blue CLEAN from sea or sky,
Nor glimpse of sunlit glade:
Rough tree trunks, towering everywhere,
Hold this broad canopy in air.
Brown branches spread rare pencilings,
Keeping themselves aloof;
And each small leaf, that lightly swings,
Its own bright bit of beauty brings
To form the dainty roof;
And look whichever side / may,
The silent arches stretch away.
No birds no wind. Uncertain sounds
Come family from afar;
| fancy when we leave earth's bounds,
To walk no more its well known rounds,
That thus. without jar.
The murmurs from this old. loved land
Will echo ON the heavenly strand.
How near God is! I seem to lie
Within His courts to-day;
No great white throne, exalted high
No glittering pageant passing by
To fill me with diSmay:
He walks in quiet through the land,
Touching his works with loving hand.
This tiny vine, close at my feet,
These modest tufts of moss.
Are moulded into forms as neat,
Finished in beauty as complete,
AS the tall trees that toss
Their branches in the summer gale
And stretch long shadows DER the vale.
o, spirit of the woodland shade,
You give me joy to-day!
Your beauties all my soul invade:
Your quiet on my heart is laid;
oh, live with me, pray!
Let me still feel your sOothings when
| tread the jarring walks of men.

smoking an imported Havana cigar.

respectfully: Pardon me, Colonel;

The Colonel, with superb gesture,
filings away the cigar and gives the

The city council can soon inaugnrate
wise, liberal and sagacious policy in
setting the rates 10 be charged for the
use of water, or it can put practical
prohibition on the general use of the
works. High rates will not do. The
idea Of charging $50 or any other sum
forthe privilege of tapping the mains
will not do. The only way to make the
water works beneficial 10 the city and self
sustaining, is TO make rates so low that the
very poorest can better afford to take the
water than to be without il. A very
general use Of it is the only way to de-
rive a large income. II is like cheap
postage. A three cent late pays better
than Il ten cent rate, to say nothing of
the public benefit in many ways result
ing from general use OF post Office ia
cilities. Cheap railroad fare, cheap tel
egraphing, cheap water, will pay the
best, as well as be the most useful in de-
veloping growth and diffusing prospect

cially, will require what may seem to

high rates will be fatal mistake No
dozen or hundred people can sustain the
expense of our water works. The public
generally must take the water, or the
income will not pay expenses, and the
public generally will do without the wa

can be afforded only by those who feel
able TO indulge in luxuries. This is the
time to think about this matter, hence |

that the council has settled on any rates,
and simply call attention now to the sug-
gestion that on all general principles
low rates are preferable and more prof

use of the water is an object greatly to
