We are not believers in every trash that Il
called medicine, and have, on many occa.
sions, warned our readers to beware Of the
stuff; but there Is an article which has been
before the public for . long time. and which
has been Endorsed by the most eminent men
in the land, including many Of our most re.
spected and learned bishops and priests.
We refer to the world St. Jacobs
Oil. We have known . great many people
who were suffering from that terrible dis.
ease called rheumatism. and who believed
their cases hopeless, they having tried al
most everything. We recommended St.Jacobs
Oh, the cures were almost miraculous, and
now these good people remember us in their
prayers, and are never without St. Jacobs
Oil in their houses. The OH is possesse Of
. great deal of merit, and we heartily recon.
mend it to our readers.

"Handling."

In speaking of the quality of stock,
and especially of that of beef - cattle,
there is scarcely any expression that is
used more frequently than handling"
or "tOuch," and there is none the signi-
fication of which it is harder to explain.
By "handling" the butcher can tell,
before purchasing, the quality of the
flesh of living beast; and by it the
breeder can ascertain the aptitude to
fatten, the constitutional vigor, and the
quality and quantity of the flesh an
animal can carry. 1t is the peculiar
sensation OF softness and pliability under
the pressure of the fingers on different
parts of the body. The nature of this
sensation depends on the degree of per-
lection of the capillary circulation of the
system, by which the nutriment pre-
pared by the digestive organs is freely
conveyed to every part of the organiza-
ton. If the capillary circulation is
actively carried on in the skin, at the
greatest distance from the large circu-
latory vessels, it can readily be inferred
that tho internal parts, which are more
favorably situated, will be abundantly
supplied with materials for the renova-
ton and increase of their tissues.
In testing by ''touch" the first thing
to be observed is the hair. A fine,
long, messy coat indicates a good feeder,
whose flesh will be fine-grained and
marbled. A fine but short coat shows
tendency to the accumulation of too
much internal fat, instead of uniform
distribution of it through the system.
Harsh, coarse, wiry hair denotes poor
feeding capacity and late maturity. A
soft, mellow, elastic skin, moderately
thick, that yields readily under pressure
when the animal is in a moderate con-
dition, but grows firmcr as the beast
ssripens," indicates good health, early
maturity, and a fine quality of flesh that
can be rapidly laid on. A hard, harsh,
skin denotes slow feeder
and inferior flesh; while thin, f1abby skin
portends feeble constitution, coarse,
stringy flesh, and soft, oily fat. In all
cases the skin should be elastic-springy;
the indentations made by pressure
should be effaced promptly, not slug
gishly, as are those made by pressing
the fingers on a dropsical limb. To
correctly by this method
requires q delicate sense of touch that
can be acquired only by great deal of
practice, and where there are differences
in the condition of the hair and skin
frequent comparisons of different ami
mails are needed to avoid mistakes. By
of his own stock, however,
any farmer could acquire good deal of
useful information with regard to the
''handling'' qualities of animals.-Rurl
NeU Yorker.

Teasing Children.

Many people have the habit of teasing
every one they can, particularly chill
dren, just for the fun ~ of seeing them
get angry and to see what they will do
and hear what they will say. Nothing
else seems to give them qnite as much
satisfaction as this kind of sport, and
they will 60 to any trouble and lose no
opportunity of engaging in it, to the
vexation and discomfort of every child
they are for any length Of time in con-
tact with.
',ne of these pests of social life comes
Wnere child is quietly at play, and the
first thing is to upset its toys or itself. or
annoy it in some way, and when it man
ifests its excited feeling, they laugh as if
it were good joke. II the little one is
pugnacious, and rushes at its tormentOl
with its little fists and tries to punish
him, it is considered rare sport, and
candy or coin is bestowed as gift to
appease the wrath of the aggrieved
child, only to be provoked again when
another opportunity presents itself.
These people undoubtedly do not mean
to do harm, and would be highly of.
Tended we're they accused of being ty.
rannical, which is indeed the case. They
would probably plead guilty to a charge
OF "thoughtlessness merely" when re-
monstrated with, never once dreaming
of the injury they are inflicting on the
little one itself, and through it on others,
by thus abnormally and prematurely
developing the organs whose function is
mainly sef-protec,ion. The constant
repetition of these disturbances renders
the child irritable, ready to fly in pas
sion on the slightest provocation, and
often very difficult to manage by its
rightful guardians.
Causing any one to suffer merely for
ones amusement, has long been justly
considered as barbarous pleasure; but
it is little better if the suffering is mental
instead of physical. In fact, it is worse
in its effects, because more lasting, than
that caused by merely physical pain.
More than this, it is one of the meanest
kinds of oppression, because the little
victim is unable to cope with the gene
rally strong oppressor, and in some
cases is rendered very frantic by being
thwarted in every attempt to defend
itself from persecution.
would like to enter protest against
all teasing of children in any way or on
any subject. Let them grow and de-
velop as nature intended they should,
and don't spoil their dispositions, and
make them abnormal and old before
their time.-Cor. Health Monthly.
