Put Life into Your Work.

A Young mans interest and duty
both dictate that he should make
himself indispensable to his en-
ployer.
A young man should make his
employer his friend by doing faith
fully and infinitely all that is en-
trusted to him.
1t is a great mistake to be over
nicely fastidiOus about work. Pitch
in readily, and your willingness will
be appreciated, while the high
toned" young man, who bubbles
about what it is, and about what il
is not, his place to do, will get the
cold shoulder. There is a story that
George Washington once helped to
roll log that one of his corporals
would not handle, and the greatest
emperor of Russia worked as a
ship-wright in England, to learn the
business. That's just what you
want to do. Be energetic, look and
act with alacrity, take an interest in
your employers success, work as
though the business was your own,
aud let your employer know he may
place absolute reliance on your
word and on your act: Be mindful :;
have your mind on your business !;
because it is that which Is going to
help you, not those outside attrac-
tions which some of the "boys" are
thinking about. Take pleasure in
work do not go about in listless,
formal manner, but with alacrity
and cheerfulness, and remember that
while working thus Tor others, you
are laying the foundation of your
own success 10 life.

OutSrOwlng Ones Friends

There are men and women i'm pub.
lie life whose pathway is marked by
the remains" of whilom friends
whom they have squeezed dry and
dropped, like so many sucked or
anges. In politics it is said of such
a man that he has kicked down the
ladder by which he climbed. In
literary or other works of life the
human sponge often swells up with
the thought that he has "outgrown'
his humber friends of other days.
In private life the self-cOnscious
soul contents itself with becoming
more and more the centre of its
little circumference, taking none
within its orbit who will not consent
to reyolve around it and emit light
and warmth for its enjoyment.
There have been many and noble
definitions of what friend is. Peo-
pie Of real individuality, strength
and sensitiveness doubtless have
fewer real friends than they are apt
to think, unless they have been cher
ishing unconsciOusly, low ideals.
But whatever a friend may not be,
certainly that sweet and noble term
is unmerited by one who, however
generous i'm other directions, is sell
fish of himself. Golden Rule.

observers that a temperature far
below that of boiling water will
destroy these parasites. Fielder as
serts that heat approaching l6O
degrees Fahrenheit kills them. They
can, therefore, never survive thor
ough cooking of the flesh in which
they exist.
They are not found, so far as Is
known, in the fatty tissues of the
animal, but in the muscular fiber,
and this fiber, whether eaten as sau-
sage or ham, if submitted to the
heat of boiling water and thorough
ly cooked through and through is
perfectly harmless so far as trichin9
are concerned.

The Hogs that are Infested
with IrickinP.

There have been so many instan-
ces reported recently of deaths by
trichin@, the parasite that infests
pork, aud oftentimes the muscular
tissue of other animals, that a wide
spread feeling of distrust has arisen
in regard to the use of pork. 1t has
been repeatedly demonstrated by
scientists that meat subjected to heat
sufficient to boil water will infalli-
bly, destroy the parasite. The fol-
lowing card from the health COM
missioner of Chicago ought to be
generally read:
CHICAGO, Dec. IL, 1SS0.-The up-
fortunate case of trichinosis reported
in the daily papers by DIR. Tomboc-
ken should commend public atten-
tion to the following facts, very
briefly stated:
l. The hog infected with trichina
has every appearance of vigorous
health. No examination OF the liv-
ing animal or of the carcass, aside
from microscopic examination of the
muscle, can detect the least evidence
of the disease. This statement is
msde by Mr.. III. A. Atwood, vice.
president of the state microscopicsl
society, and Prof. W. t. Bellfeld,
who made, at my request, an exam
instion of one hundred hogs found
at the stock yards in the winter of
1853.
2. Since il is impossible to make
this microscopical examination Of all
the hogs slaughtered in Chicago,
other means should be taken to pre-
vent the deplorable results above
referred to, and happily these m cans
are simple, clear and certain. Ii has
been satisfactorily shown by many

How 10 Treat FrOst-Bites.

If any part of the body gets frozen,
the very worst thing to do is to
apply heat directly. Keep away
from the fire. Use snow if you can
get it; if not, use the coolest posi-
bic water. Last winter our little
boy of five years Old froze his feet
while out coasting considerable dis
taRce from the house. He cried all
the way home, and the case seemed
pretty bad. | brought big painful
of snow and put his feet into il,
rubbing them with the snow. But
my hands could not stand the cold.
| was alarmed to see him keep his
feet in the snow so long, but he
could moi bear them out of it. Ii
was half an hour before he could
take them out and then the pain was
all gone, and when | wiped them
dry and rubbed them little, he was
entirely comfortable, put on his
stockings and shoes and went to
play. He never afterwards had any
trouble with his feet on account of
this freezing. His sister got her
feet extremely cold, and put them
at once to the fire. Her case at first
was not so bad as her brothers, but
the result was much worse. Her
feet were very tender all winter, and
she suffered from chilblains. Her
toes had a swollen purple look, and
she had to take larger size of shoes.

Oyer.Exerted.

Long. continued exertiOn, without,
proper intervals of rest, is followed
by a peculiar sensation of fatigue,
and often by tremor or cramp. Fa-
tigue is due, in part, to the failure
of contractile material, and all ac-
cumulation of waste-products, in the
muscles, but, in the main, to the ex-
haustion of the nerve centers that
supply stimulents to contraction.
Both tremor and cramp are prob
ably caused by excessive muscular
irratibility, the former being due to
short, irregular explosions of mus
cular force, the latter being pro-
longed contraction Of the muscle.
When over.exertion is confined
to a small group of muscles, these,
instead of becoming enlarged and
strengthened, as is the case when
exertion and rest are duly inter-
changed, suffer chronic exhaustion,
which shows itself in a species OF
paralysis - as in palsy, or cramr'
severally peculiar to writers, tele-
graphers, mixers, and men of var
ious trades whose work is mainly
with the hammer.
Ii is computed that the pen-blade
forger. if industrious and disposed
to do full work, delivers nearly 29,-
600 accurate strokes day, aud in
ten years.over 5000, 900, each stroke
involving expenditure of nerve
force. both in the nerves OF the
brain which calculate the distance
and amount of force necessary, and
the nerves of the muscles engaged
IN the act.
Another result of Over-exertion is
irratibility of the heart, similarly
due to exhaustion of nerve force.
The heart may become dilated, so
that valves-ene or more-cease full
ly to close the openings, or the valves
become thickened and incapable
of ready and complete action. The
elastic tissues OF the great arteries
leading out of the heart may be
weakened by over-distension, and
the walls may, during some strong
effort, so far gave way as to form a
pouch, or even to stretch out into a
fatal aneurism.
This irritsbility of heart gives rise
to psIpitation, cardiac pain, and
rapid pulse.
Ii is estimated that 80 per cent of
cases of this affiiction among our
soldiers during the late war were
due to long and rapid marches, or
other forms of over-exertion. Pro-
fessiou pedestrians are proverbially
short lived. Mountain climbers,
and persons who carry gymnastic or
athletic exercises to excess, aud es-
pecially, laborers whose work is
severe, and who also suffer from in
temperance, foul air and improper
diet, are peculiarly liable to heart
disease.
