French girls with dandelion green's to sell Well,

call from those itinerant pedders of green fodder

insurance for its workmen Any one refusing to
become member will be discharged from its en-

Der shall contribute per cent of his wages to the
fund. The company will pay in double the
amount contributed by its employees Any one
discharged for the want Of work will be paid his
total subscriptions with ) per cent interest
Should one die, his widow heirs will receive

The investigation by the State Department into
the reports published in Europe concerning the
hog cholera and trichinae among American swine

PrOfits Of the Revision.

After paying the expenses, which are
given by the English committee as 800, 900,
for work TINS far done on both Testaments,
all other profits go to the University Press
publishers, who at the outset, in lieu of
Of the copyright, guaranteed all expenses to
the revisers then. The American committee,
however, does not get one cent. It's expen-
ses, not for labor, but for travel, CORE
spondence, stationary, etc., have been
paid by private subscriptions up to this
time. The profits must, it is thought, be
very great if the Oxford publishers have
already sold, as reported. 1900, 900 copies.
This number includes the 100000 sent to
this country. The different styles of the
New Testament are sold cheaper in the
United States than they are in England,
Canada and the other colonies, because of
the lack of international copyright here.

Said and Done.

Here is bit of admirable advice to hired
men from The Western Rural. 1t is the
best policy" from a mere worldly point
of view, to say nothing of higher motives,
to act on Ephesians, vi, 7, 8. We know of
one farm hand who gets and doubtless
earns, $40 month more than the average
because he lives up to this high principle:
"No man who is selfish or lazy enough to
do as little as he can, and to do what he
does as poorly as it can be done, will ever
succeed. Such man will be hired man
all his life. Men in every subordinate
position, if they would make their mark,
mutt strive to make themselves apparently
indispensable. Every man competent to
fill position can do this; but he must re-
member all the time that he is not indis-
pensable. However, by faithful discharge
Of duty, he can make his employer think
SO, and. SO long as no necessity exists for
making change. to wonder how he could
be able to do SO without great detriment to
his own interests. No better rule to accom-
plish this result can be laid down than this:
Work all the time as if you were working
for yourself. Ask yourself in case of hes
itancy to labor over hours or little harder
than usual: What would do if this were
my farm. and this work needed to be done
Just now? An answer to that question by
an industrious, conscientious man will cor
rectly outline duty, and action in accord
ance with it will make the hired man indis-
pensible. In such ruan the employer
feels that he has in charge q certain piece
of work, or of his affairs generally, an in.
telligent, thinking being, who may be trus-
ted because he is such; but in man who
is reckless, Sinking all the work possible
an / often doing as much harm as good
the employer feels that he has a machine
which, like any other machine on his farm
is good for nothing unless it is attended b.
| guiding mind and hand.

deal of space to the cigarette vice, which is
of very recent and of very rapid growth. in
which are given the views of leading ply
sicians. All agree substantially with the
following: about half the cases of nervous
break down in men," said DR.. Horatio c.
Wood, ''are the result of the use of tobacco,
and the use of tobacco is much worse for
boys than it is for men.
There is peculiar action Of the heart
caused by the excessive use of tobacco,
known as the tobacco heart which the
elder DR.. Pepper made special study of
and used to lecture upon. have no pos
tive information on the subject, but be-
lieve cigarettes are the worst form in which
tobacco is used, and I believe that their
sale to boys was prohibited in France. In
addition to the poison in the tobacco the
cigarette smoker absorbs a certain amount
an irritant to the mucous membranes, caus-
ing catarrh. But this is not the worst eff
feet. The action of the heart is depressed
and the whole system debilitated. Official
| investigation in the schools of France
proved that the cigarette smoking students
were much behind the others. These vital
defects are sure te be transmitted to the
offspring.
DR.. J. NJ. Da Costa, who is very high
authority on all nervous diseases. said he
had been called upon in his psactice to stop
cigarette smoking by great many boys
who have indulgent parents. He knew
of one case in which boys growth had
actually been stunted by excessive smoking.

published on The Throat and the Voice.

book from his table: If a smoker is sub
ject to attacks of sore throat and is toe
welded to his weed to divorce himself
from it, he should smoke long Steamed
pipe in preference to any other continuance,
because it renders the smoke cooler by the
time it reaches the throat. The next safest
thing is to smoke long cigar, MOI

A peculiar method is requisite to make o
horse lie down, more particularly if you are
a stranger to him. Having accustomed the
horse to your presence, having fed him
from your hand, and stroked and caressed
and ''gentled" him, he will look upon you
as friend, and be ready to obey you. A
series of little taps upon one foreleg, and
he is down upon one knee; the other knee is
made to follow. In this position, the horse
will submit to be gently rolled over on his
side, almost as though in trance. Let
each act be gentle, and he is content. Once
the horse is down he becomes your slave:
and this first victory may be best confirmed
and subsequent lessons rendered less troub
lesome, by feeding him with some choice
nlorsel while he is down; or if he will not
eat in that position, directly he arises. Do
not let your victory have in it any sting of
defeat for him. The nearer that the train
er approaches to the spirit thus indicated,
the more successful he will be; and if he
wanders too far from it, he will achieve no
success ut ALL

''The baby is standing all 'lonoym

And father and mother and auntie
Must hurry and como to see.
So baby-the cute little darling!-

And fondled and kissed and commended
For being so smart and 80 sweet
With the cunningest air of triumph
She stands in the midst of us all
While the outstretched arm of her mother
Is ready to save fall
And wheneyer'the little one totters,
Around her is hastily thrown.
IT'S very fine fun-thinks the baby
This frolic of standing alone!
All, many time in the future
She'll long for the aid of that arm,
When the love and the care of mother
Nolonger can shield her from harm!
For oft when our need is the sorest
There's n one to whom we can turn
And standing alone is 3 lesson
IT'S hard for a woman to learn.
And often and over, my baby,
Before life's long journey is gone,
You will yearn in your hours of weakness
For something to an upon.
When the props upon VIII CHI you depended
Are taken away or o'erthrown,
You will find it wearisome, baby, .
So wearisome! standing alone
