Reserve Your Vitality.

A friend of Lord Palmerston once asked
him when he considered man to be in the
prime of life. Seventy -nine," replied the
old statesman But" he added with a smile,
"as have just entered my eightieth year,
perhaps / am myself little past it," On
this reply Chambers Journal makes the fol-
lowing remarks: How is it that such men
work on vigorously to the end? Because
they treasure their ever diminishing vital
forces They studiedly refrain from making
a pull on the constitution. Reaching the
borders of 20 years of age, they as good as
say to themselves, I'VE must now take care
what we are about" Of course they make
sacrifices avoid a number of treacherous gay
cites, and live simply. In other words they
conserve their vital forces and try to keep
active as long as possible. clustering natures,
forgetful of the great truth that power itself
hath not one-half the might of gentleness,"
miss the ends for which they strive just be-
cause the force that is in them is not proper
lv economized. Then as regards temporary
man who allows that to master him wastes
as much energy as would enable him to re-
move the cause of anger or overcome an Op-
ponent. The little boy of eight years old
who in the country is often seen driving a
team of four immense dray horses, is one OF
the innumerable instances OF the power OF
reason over mere brute force, which should
induce violent tempers to become calm 1rom
nolicy. if from no higher motive.

The Best Breed of Cow.

Is she Devon, Durham or Alderney? Has
she long OF short horns? What is her color
what is her shape, what is her size? Is she
native and to the manor born," or imported
from the dairies of England?
Our answer to these questions is very nigh
broad no. 1t is not quite however. That
there is something in the blood of dumb ami
mails is pretty well settled fact. Nor is
there any question that ill usage will work
corruption of blood, as there is none that
proper treatment and care will keep the life
current warm, strong and healthy. AS q un-
iversal proposition the best breed and the
best should always be obtained when practi-
cable. But however pure and however good
it will not flourish in ''thorny places"
Were we squared up to a direct answer,
and categorical, to the question Which is
the Best Breed of Cow" our answer would
be-"That which is given the best food and
stable" Take any breed, any size, any color
any length Of horn, and give it plenty OF
peas cotton seed, meal, grass and other
healthy food; pure water to drink and a
warm stall to sleep in, in bad weather, and
her blood will be royal, her milk and butter
rich and abundant People humbug them
selves about these Alderney and Devon cows
In the first place they purchase one at eight
to forty times the price of scrub. Costing
SO much as that, they agree, there must be
something extraordinary about them, and
hence they are pampered and petted, given
the best food ON the place and all they will
eat, and if there is only one dry spot in the
stable that is theirs And sure enough the
COW proves their conclusions are correct! But
it does not occur to the owner that the same
extraordinary" qualities might be developed
in the halfstarved, neglected, shelterless
scrub by the same nursing as he bestows on
his pet Horse philosophers land what is it
they don't know?) have often laughed at us
for saying: "All fat horses are good horses"
but we are still of that opinion. There are
good fat horses, better fat horses, and best
tat horses, but as Frank Bush saiG of whisky:
Il deny there is any mean 1t is so of cows.
The lesson learned from the ingenious car
penter of Horace, who, out of q piece OF tim
ber unfit to make work bench, manufactured
a god, should be applied to our stock, and
may be with as happy results to forty other
divisions of farm life. There is fatal idea
prevailing everywhere, among all men, in
every household, that nature has bestowed
more of her rich gifts upon our neighbOr, up
on foreign country, than upon ourselves
We are the mocking birds of Hsop complain
ing of the plumage of the peacock. But as
in that immortal fable, we were not given
rich plumage, we were granted musical pow
ers, if neither some other inheritance tOsUff-
set our neighbors riches. Nature is Just
paymaster. Say what we will, every one is
treated exactly alike, though paid Off in diff
ferent kinds of coin.

Poison i'll Baby Carriages.
New York Sun.


Additional cases are reported from Germa-
ny of the poisoning of children through the
use Of American oil-cloths. The oil-clOths
are used largely for covering the tops of ba-
by carriages. When exposed to the sun the
pigment with which the cloth is painted
parts with that which is volatile in its COM
position, and loses with it some of the white
lead used in preparing the cloth. The vapor
thus heavily charged with lead is inhaled by
the child, and death results from sort of
paralysis, OF as sometimes happens, from a
disease resembling painters collie. Analysis
of the substance with which the cloth is
coated have revealed forty-two per cent. of
metallic lead, and our manufacturers are dis
tinctly charged with 'reckles>ness."
A downtown exporter says that such
goods are not manufactured for the purposes
to which the Germans put them, and that 1T
is careless for a baby carriage manufacturer
to use any fabric for unhOlstering of which
he does not know the chemical composition.
He says, moreover, that the cloths spoken Of
are designed to be imperiOus to water and
that in order to keep them so aud make
them retain their elasticity, a certain amount
Of white lead must be used i'll their manu-
facture. To the question as to whether SIM
liar complaints had been made before, he re-
piled: complaints have been made before,
both as to the poisoned oil-cloths and dan
gerous dyes, but to my mind accidents arise
from these sources only when those who use
the goods divert them-usually from motives
of ecOnomy-from the uses for which they
are manufactured. ChildreLs' carriages
should be covered and lined only with leath-
er or plain vanished cloths. These are not
only wholesome, but are 'preventives of con-
taoiOn"

Dress Children Neatly and Warmly.

No child is pretty for an elaborate design
of dress. A single rutfle at the extreme edge
Of the skirt does very well, but is quite rs
well without it, And to cut up the tiny
space of childs dress with loopings and
trimmings and ornament seems to us to
make them look like monkeys. Not even the
sash is beautiful for a child. A child is con-
structed first Of all to eat, that it may grow !;
to receive impression that it may learn !;
therefore the head aud stomach are large in
proportion to the rest of the body. When
the little body is nude, so that the soft,
fleshy form can be well seen, all this is beau
tiful but to emphasize in the draped form
of the child the large stomach by broad
sash is utterly against all rules of beauty.
The legs and arms are always beautiful, but
but to show the legs by cutting off the dress
at the hips is immensely awkward, and
seems to serve to display the drawers, which
are not a beautiful garment and should be
entirely hidden. Besides this in winter our
climate is wholly inappropriate to any such
exposure, and we shall best see the beauty
of healthy child in the easy, untrammeled
motion as it moves about simple dress (Ot
as handsome material as you like, provided
that it is untrimmed) and long enough to be
warm and loose enough to be comfortable.
If you want your children to be graceful, let
them be unconscious if you want them to
be healthy, let them be sufficiently warm.
No woman can have fine complexion who
as child has been habitually chilled, and
we see in the winter many children who
seem literally to have nothing on them from
the waist down. They could much better
afford to put it the other way, from the waist
up, the lungs and heart being at less expense
to warm the upper portion of the body than
the legs, which are further away from
them.

How to Clean Marble Top Furniture.

1t may be of some value to housekeepers
who have marble top furniture to know that
the common solution of gum arabic is an ex-
cellent absorbent, and will remove dirt, etc,
from marble The method of applying it is
as follows: Brush the dust off the piece to
be cleaned, and then apply with a brush a
good coat of gum arabic, about the consist
ency of thick Office mucilage; expose it to
the sun, or dry wind, or both. In a short
time it will crack and peel off. If all the
gum should not peel off. wash it with clean
water and a clean cloth OF course, if the
first appE cation does not have the desired
effect, it should be applied again. Another
method to- clean marble is to make a paste
of soft soap and whiting, wash the marble
with it, and then leave coat of paste upon
it for two or three days Afterward WASH
off with warm mot hot water and soap

Borrowing Money to Pay Dividends.
New York Letter

Experience has demonstrated that it is
bad policy for any corporation to deceive the
public by issuing fraudulent dividends. 1t
never escapes detection, and the conse-
quences are of very destructive charcter.
An illustration of this is found in the course
pursued by the Lake, Shore railroads in 1873.
In order to keep up it's usual semi-annual
dividends of 4 per cent, which had not been
earned, the sum of 100000 was borrowed
The death of the President of the road (Hor
ace F. C,arke) exposed this fraud, and the re-
suit was general loss of confidence in all
such property. The panic of 1873, which so
Immediately followed, was due in large
degree to this exposure, and the Lake Shore
company was one of the severest sufferers,
as the stock was kept in state of depression
for seven years.

Built of Gold.
ILeadville Democrat. |


But few people are aware Of the fact that
the facings of the High School are construct
ed of gold-bearing stone, but it is an actual
truth that is testified to by Mr.. King, the
architect, as well as those who did the ma
sonry. 1t was obtained from mountain
near Granite, upon which several gold mines
have been discovered and which are at pres
ent being operated with much profit. In an
tiquity there was extravaganza visible in all
the architectural efforts, but to witness the
repetition of those times in this era and in
the carbonate metropolis is something indeed
startling 1t is fact, however, that the fac
ings of the institution mentioned are made
of gold rock, and it can be proven. During
the work of erection and when the masOns
had the stone in hand, and were dressing it,
this was discovered. Upon one occasion they
were saving huge block of the material in
to which streak of gold about the size of
knife blade was discovered by the wOrkmen.
1t created quite sensation at the time, but
nothing particular was said of it on the out
side and the work was continued. The
streets are paved with silver or Stag contain
ing the mineral, and it is probable handful
of dirt from most any place would assay
from one to ten ounces. This report was re-
garded as somewhat fabulous, but when the
fact goes out that the school house is built of
gold it will indeed provoke a skeptical
smile.

Food Cure i'm Diseases Of the NervOu
System. Il

If the nerve centers do not get properfood
the nervous system must suffer. The con-
slant feeding on -four, deprived OF nutritious
matter and starches, however excellent these
are in their way, is supposed to be great
cause of the increase of imbeciles and IDIOTS,
and Dr. Cutter says: 'True feeding consists
in giving the human body aliment thatscon-
tains all the elements found in the human
body in proper proportions and in assimilable
forms> Then the nerve force is supplied that
runs, so to speak, the body, and all the 1ari-
Gus parts get their normal amount OF lsgitl-
mate nourishment. DIR. Salisbury explains
the change of the red corpuscles OF the blood,
which are covered with neurine or nerve
food, when they have no proper nourlshment
and become sticky and adhesive. The mus
cles can only act under nerve food, and
what food must not be required il the blood

not often. 1t has been long time but some
how we can't get over grieving. He was
such burst Of sunshine into our lives that
his going away was like covering our every

we sit alone of an evening, l writing and she
sewing, a child on the street will call out as
our boy used to, and we will both start up
with beating hearts aud wild hope, only to
find the darkness more of burden than
ever.
1t is SO still and quiet now. l look up at
the window where his blue eyes used to
sparkle at my coming, but he is not there.
l listen for his prattling feet, his merry
shout and his ringing laugh, but there is no
sound. There is no one to climb over my
knees no one to search my pockets and tease
for presents, and l never find the chairs
turned over the broom down, or ropes tied
to the door knobs.

And wife she misses him still more; there
are no little feet to wash, no prayers to say
no voice teasing for Jumps of sugar or sob

night and look across to the crib and see our
boy there as he used to be.
So, we preserve our relics. and when we
are dead we hope that strangers will handle
them tenderly, even they shed no tears over
them.

THEIR EYES WE'RE HOLDEN.

LUKE XXIv.,-l6.
II WA, the trial time of faith and those
VINO had remained firm in their loving trust,
Through the long darkness of that night of woes
Which bowed the bravest hearts down to the dust
soon should see morning
so supremeiy bright,
That beyond its dawning
There should be no night.
And two of his disciples went that day
Down to Emmaus, and there as they talked
OfaH these things together on their way,
Jesus himself drew near and with them walked.
Now the morn was golden
As a morn could be,
But their eyes were holden
That they should not see.
And ouc them, whose Cleopas
Questioned thus OF Jesus: Hast thou not heard
0falI these things, bat lately come to pass,
Concerning Him mighty in deed and word?
In the sunlight golden
With them there walked He!
But their eyes were holden
That they should not see.
O slow of heart he answered; know We not
What prophecy through all the Scripture saith;
That Christ should suffer that men might be brought
into life through the mystery OF death?
In the sunlight golden
With them there talked He!
Still their eyes were holden
That they should not see.
Then he tarred with them they sat at meat,
And took bread and blessed it and gave to each; ;
The gift through the blessing made complete;
They SAW il was Christ whom they had heard
teach.
Still the day golden
And their wondering eyes
Now 10 logger holden
Told their glad surprise!
., soul il is thus that He walks to-day
Along the road where His disciples go,
And TO each pilgrim points the marrow way
and talks Of things other one could know,
just III times Olden
When He the guide,
Oar eyes may be holden
Eut He's at our side
Deny linn not by waiting till He bless,
That may not prove q blessing thou dost boast
He gives pain not because He loves thee less;
Whom He oy es best He sometimes chastens most
gift that is golden
OF infinite cost,
While our eyes are holden
Perhaps may be lost
Give Him thy heart, the gift He has required
office and thine eyes shall be opened then
70 see what thou perhaps hast long desired
Christ in the faces Of thy fellow-men.
There are gifts not golden,
That far richer be
When hearts are not holden

Now that so many ladies are taking up
carpets and making over old ones, perhaps it
will not be amiss to tell how to patch them
with paste. Cut out patch to match the
carpet around the hole. Make good -four
paste, and paste the patch over the hole.
Place paper over it, and iron with hot
iron till the paste is dry. This is very nice
way to mend carpet when hole has been
burned in ii, and is much easier than sewing
in the patch, especially if the carpet is
down. fazgss7s9eE8 3 ae.3
