The Care of the Hands,

Many persons, especially farmers, neglect their hands. Hard work will, Of course, make the hands hard, but they need not on that account be untidy. A black line at each finger nail is not mark of workingman so much as it is of 6 negligent one. No matter what his occupation, one should no more come to the table with dirty hands than with dirty face To keep the hands in good order a brush Is a necessity. 4 mail brush may be bought for a very small sum, and, no matter what may be ones work, he can, by use of this, keep his hands in very good condition. Rub the brush across the soap and scrub the finger nails, not only at the end, but at the base where they join the flesh, and, if there are any other parts of the hands that need it, give them @ scrubbing also. The daily use of nail-brush, and 8 careful pairing of the nails before they get long, will enable the hardest worked farmer to keep his hands in a comfortable condition. The greatest trouble with the hands Is from a split ting of the skin at the base of the nails, causing what are called "hang nails :" this may be avoided by little care At each washing of the hands, and after they have been dried upon the towel, push the skin downward away from the base of the nail by using the end of an- other nail that is, Use the thumb-nail of the right hand to dress the nails of the left, and vice versa. The comfort that results from well-kept hands is sufficient reason, not to mention neat appearance, for properly caring for them. -AnleTican AgTicIturjSt.

The Pay of Teachers.

The Rutland (Vt.) Herald and Globe says very wisely ill regard to the pay of teachers: "The low wages that admit of no savings, If the teacher has fam ily, Is the blight upon profession that contains within it's exercise more possi- bilities for good, in multiplying the best manhood and womanhood through the unceasing manipulation of charac- ter in its plastic immaturity, than even tue pulpit, for the teacher comes into closer contact with the growing youth of the country than even the parent. Three-fourths of the teach CTS who serve for meager wages have no call to their profession, for the very reason that they take no perma- nent interest in it; they never expect to follow it for life-calling, so they cannot give it the necessary pains, the essential enthusiasm; but once let it be understood that good work and excep- tional gifts for teaching are sure of a reward that did not by its meagernes compel cellbacy, or the domestic econ omy of church mouse, and more mes of exceptional tact, talent and manhood would follow teaching for a life-work.
 The Tribune has for many years ad- vanced these very arguments, and is glad to see many indications of grow ing public sentiment concerning better wages and stricter requirements .-NTeaO

Sion That Nasty Fiehting.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Times, who visited the battlefield at Spottsylvania Court House, writes "The Deputy Sheriff, inn-keeper, and leading citizen of the settlement, MT. Ashby, who is a kinsman of the brilliant cavalryman of that name, kindly offered to show me what was to be seen, and af- ter breakfast he started for what he called the " Horseshoe, or, as it is more generally known, the "Bloody Angle. ''' Driving northward on the level Brock road for less thasi half-mile we wheeled abruptly into by-way to the right and began to pass through thicket of small pines. These evergreens, which have grown on the margin Of the McCool farm since the battle, threaten to choke the narrow road What we were going through was more like a bridle-path than place for wheels, but, needless of the ends of limbs that whipped him in the eyes and brushed against the sides of the buggy, our horse dashed along, fetching us finally to a fallow field, wherein stands the McCool house. This place is one of grim fame and lasting history, for in the woods hereabout deatlrs maw was gorged in the longest, frcest, ghastliest hand-to-hand combat known to man. Tall oaks surround the house, which is weather-beaten, rickety structure that clearly has been through the mills. At the time of the battle the dwelling was occupied by Farmer McCool, bachelor, with his two maiden sisters. When 1t grew hot and deafening all around, the family went into the cellar, and there Miss Millie, sitting by the side of her sick sister, wrote the following note:
 "GRANT, GENERAL, SIR: desire that you stop this nasty fighting. There is a sick lady in the house.
 " MILDRED McCoOL."
 A trembling courier, in the person of black boy, succeeded in delivering the note within the Union lines, but oddly enough the battle was allowed to con- | tinue.
 "And would you believe it p Miss NIillie was won't to exclaim, in chats with her neighbors many year thereafter, :" and would you really believe 1t the 1 Yankee General wasn't gentleman enough to grant lady's request" "Shame shame p would come in l chorus, and Miss Millie's ancient rock 1 ing chair would stand still from the very amazement of the good woman between its arms. And to this day Grant is held up by Miss Millie's friends as a person who Is "no gentleman" One morning, two days afterward, it was so quiet that the occupants of the cellar concluded that the storm had swept over, and Farmer McCool cautiously thrust his head up from below. A Union soldier who saw the head grabbed at it and the old man ducked down, leaving bis wig in possession of the laughing sharp shooters.

MRS. WASHINGTON, the mother of George, was going to make soap. George and his father arranged large cask with some straw in the bottom of 1t, and on top of the straw they put some ashes and then leached them. Mrs. Washing ton got her soap-grease all ready, and in a short time the house was filled with that beautiful odor that betokens the process of soap-boiling. With all her skill she could not make the soap come. The ashes used were from the wood of the cherry-tree George cut down, and no I've could be produced from them. This shows the power of truthfulness.

Things We OutgrOW.

It is both the curse and the blessing of our American life that we are never quite content. We all expect to go somewhere before we die, and have a better time when we get there than we can have at home The bane of cur life is discomfort. We say we will work SO long, and then we will enjoy ourselves. But we find it just as Thackeray has ex- pressed it. "When | was Q boy" he said, "I wanted some taffy it was a shilling; I hadn't one. When I was a man, l had @ shilling, but didn't want any taffy. '- Robert Coltyer.

The Use of Pain.

The power which rules the universe, this great, tender power, uses pain as a signal of danger. Just, generous, beau- tiful nature never strikes a foul blow: never attacks us behind our backs: nev- CT digs pitfalls or lays ambuscades; never wears smile upon her face when there is vengeance in her heart Pa tieutly she teaches us her laws, plainly she writes her warnings, tenderly she graduates their force. Long before the fierce, red, danger light of pain is flashed she pleads with us-as though for her own sake, not ours-to be merciful to ourselves and to each other. She makes the overworked brain to wander from the subject of its labors. She turns the over- indulged body against the delights of yesterday. This is her caution signal, "Go slow" She stands in tbe filthy courts and alleys that we pass daily, and beckons us to enter and realize with our senses what we allow to exist in the midst of the culture of which we brag.
 And what do we do ourselves? We ply whip and spur on the jaded brain as though 1t were jibing horse-force it back into the road which leads to mad ness, and go on full gallop. We drug the rebellious body with stimulants, we hide the original and think we have es- capped the danger, and are very festive before night. We turn aside, as the Pharisee did of old, and pass on the oth CT side with our handkerchief. to our nose. At last, having broken natures laws and disregarded her warnings, forth she comes-drums beating. colors flying right in front to punish us. Then we go down on our knees and whimper about it having pleased God Almighty to send this afiiction upon us, and we pray Him to work a miracle in order to reverse the natural consequences of our disobedience, or save us from the trouble of doing our duty. In other words, we put our fingers in the fire and pray ii will not hurt.

SELF1sHNEss, though refined, is still but selfshness, and refinement ought never to interfere with doing good in the world as it exists. It is not desirable to appeal early to this feeling, or perhaps ever directly to cultivate it.
 THE boot period is the dividing line between babyhood and boyhood. Before the boots, one is trampled upon by con- rades, and stuck with pins, and we walk with an air of apology for the fact that we are born at all. Robust school fellows strike us across the cheek, and when we turn toward them they cry, "Who are you looking at ? or, what is worse than possible insult, we have somebody chuck us under the chin and call us "Bub!"

TIE rapid rate at which the public debt continues to be reduced from month to month is calculated to impress upon the mind the importance of speedy cur tailment of the revenues of the Govern ment. The decrease of the debt for the month of September was nearly $15, ,OOO,- 900 and fifteen months since the close of the fiscal year it amounts to nearly $45,- GOO, ,000. At this rate within two years and half we shall have no redeemable bonds, and the Treasury will either have to go into the market and buy up unma- tured bonds at a premium or allow the surplus to accumulate to the disastrous contraction of the currency of the coun- try. The only other alternative will be squandering of the surplus in extrava- gant expenditures.
