Useful Rules.

Don't you love to read the maxims which
some wise man writes for the newspapers
life and alleviate human suffering? There is
always so much practical common sense in
them. Here is batch, for them:
For dust In the eyes, avoid rubbing, and
This is especially useful when you are on the
cars, and there isn't drop of water in the
country nearer than the engine, OF the next
lake, fOrty-three miles behind you.
Remove cinders with the point of pencil"
We never saw that operation tried but once,
and then 1t was successful. The man got out
the cinder. He also put out his eye.
Remove insects from the ear by tepid water;
never put hard instrument into the ear"
Yes, that is pretty advice now, isn't it? Sup
pose an Indian Peace Commissioner gets an
insect in his ear when he Is out in Colorado! Is
that man to suffer until he can reach the MissiS-
s.ppl river III order to get enough water to fill
his ear?
For light burns, dip the part in cold water;
If the skin is destroyed cover with varniSh"
A beautiful spectacle a man would present
who had gone up in boiler-eXcurStOn In
just enough to make two coats of furniture
varnish necessity according to this admirable
rule.
.ol Before passing through smoke, take full
Just imagine, now, what circus smoking
car would present If every man who entered 1t
kept that rule pasted In his hat.
Smother fire with carpets; water will often
spread burning oil and increase the danger"
That's all well enough; but, when a mans
house Is on fire and burning faster than three
steam-eDgineS can throw water, he hasn't the
time; and frequently he hasn't the money, to
buy whole carpet-store to throw over the con-
fiagration. And we don't suppose anything less
than tapestry Brussels would do any good.
"For fainttng, lay the body fiat"
Now, that Is good rule; there Is some sense
In that. Because, II you are careful to lay your
body fiat before you faint, 1t may save you ter
rible thump when you fall Let me add to this
rule the advice, never faint on ladder or in
balloon, or on the top of church steeple, or in
mont of a runaway team. 1t isn't safe.
''Suck poisonous wounds unless your mouth
is sore; enlarge the wound, or, better, cut the
wound out without delay"
II that isn't lively piece of advice for sane
man to give to healthy people! Listen here
don't you do anything Of the kind. Aud, II you
get a scratch on the throat, don't enlarge 1t or
cut 1t cut. And, If you get wound on the back
OF your neck, don't you try to reach 1t with your
mouth: Somebody will try that some day, and
there'll be broken neck In the family.
If in the water, float on the back, with the
mouth and nose projecting"
Now, this is the best rule Of the lot. That is
the cap-sheaf. You cut that out and paste 1t on
your cuff, where you can always see 1t. Just
follow that rule and you will never drown. No
matter If you stay in the water twenty years. II
you will just float on your back, with the nose
ana mouth projecting above the water, you
won't drown. We don't know what wise man
wrote these rules, but this last one is worth all

PERSONAL PecuIiarities.

Aoout lorty years ago had a lad In my en-
ploy who had the habit when unexpectedly
spoken to Of pricking up his ears in so de ;isive
manner as to remind one of the ears of Press
or OF Tray when suddenly called. Marie Louise,
the second wife Of the great Napoleon, was In
the habit of amusing the ladies Of her court at
their private SORES by turning her ears almost
completely round, and in manner closing
them up She did this by a peculiar motion Of
on the exploit not little.
A man knew well wore an enormous shock
Of raven hair. and would allow himself to be
lifted by the hair from the ground by any one
who was strong enough to do it, and to be
swung to and fro like pendulum, or to be
dragged along the floor.
The faculty OF sleeping at will was one OF the
endowments OF the first Napoleon, who it is
said could sleep any length OF time, long OF
short, and awake at the time, almost to min
ute, he had resolved upon.
Among the muscular movements not com.
mon, have noticed several instances of per-
sons who could throw back the four fingers of
either hand until they stood quite perpendicu-
lar to the back OF the hand and wrist. Other
lnstancesI have seen, though but a few, of
persons who can project the lower joint Of the
thumb almost into the hollow OF the palm. In
nary symmetry OF the hand at all affected. or
left-handed people we have all seen many, and
they abound among the working classes; but

persons who could do everything with either

School and Church Unable to do the
Work of Home.

We are really tempted to think that just as a
railroad corporation can carry freight and pack
can continue great organizations which shall do
the work of home better than the father the
mother and the child can. The preacher referred
to the infant school established by Robert Owen,
the socialist, at New Lanark sixty years ago,
where 1t was attempted to raise infants without
mothers care, but the plans were so absurd
that the attempt was of course failure. But,
all the same, there fingers the wish to transfer
from home life and home training both pleasures
and duties which belong to them, in a hope en-.
couraged by most of the prejudices of our time
that large organizations. becausefhey are large,
Will DO everything better than small organiza-
lions because they are small Our great public
school system, because it is large IS blindly re-
quested to accept and discharge duties which
belong at home, and for which home has all the
advantages; You are told that public school
teacher ought to train her children In good man
ners. So she ought, II they are unmannerly
But the home is disgraced which has sent un-
the public school is made to teach the children
to sew, not because that is a good place for them
to learn, but because this teaching Is neglected
at home, which Is the best place to learn. So
nail or push plane, as every Yankee boy could
do hundred years ago, and you are forced to
propose Industrial schools, where boys shall be
taught to use hammer and a screw driver.
And we heard Of projects for colleges for women
In which they should be taught how to make
bread, broil steak, and even to amuSe children
ard how to set table, as If there were any
nearly as well as she could learn 1t, If she chose
under the humblest roof In America. This ali
belongs to the passion for doing things on a
large scale: And the habit shows ITSELF perhaps
In It's worst form, when you are finally told that
You must provide amusement on large scale
for children, because home pleasures do not sat
1sfy. When 1t is true that you ought to do this,
ana nett tse is true it Is because you are
