Nervous Twitching.

Many school-children are afflicted with
a frequent spasmodic action of some muscle
of the face or body which causes twitch-
ing of the eyelid, drawing Of the mouth
one way or another, twisting of the head,
elevation of one shoulder, etc. There is a
large variety of such movements which
tend to make the subject an object Of Gu
riosity and laughter. 1t is well called a
chorea habit, because it is something of the
nature of St. Vitus' dance (chorea,) and
occasionally in nervous organizations, and
when because of general i'll health the nerv-
GUS system becomes debilitated and proper
.tionately irritable. There is no cure for
this except the will power of the suffering
individual, who must constantly check the
movement. In this the friends and rela-
tiyes can be of service in frequently remind
ing him to be on his guard and control
himself. The longer the habit is permit
ted to go on the more difficulty there will
be in overcoming it, especially in children.
When it is evident that the movements can
be controlled by the exercise of the will, it
is important to urge them to check them
selves early, and if there is any reason to
believe that the general health is impaired,
this should also receive due attention.

"Old Maids"

The term is already almost an extinct
one. The world is beginning to realize
that many noble women are too honest, too
brave and too pure to use marriage as a
makeshift. And it is plain that there can
not now be in existence more thoughtful,
more large-hearted, more selfsacrifcing,
more modest, tender and truthful women
than these. As society comes to see that
woman is as separate an entity, as distinct
an individuality as a man, it will pay less
regard to her accidents and more to herself.
1t will not take it for granted that she has
had disappointment" at tender age, or
buried her youthful lover, or been the vic
tim of misunderstanding" if she write
herself "Miss" at forty. Nor will it audi
bly, wonder why charming woman is un-
married after twenty-five. 1t will admire
her for her admirableness, whether that has
had the certificate of some mans expressed
appreciation or not. It will permit her to
live her own life. In the past the patience
of single women has been too complete and
self-sacrifcing. Almost with one accord
have they consented to eface themselves,
as the French say, grieving the while that
married sisters and preoccupied brothers-in-
law and gay young nieces-alas! that even
disappointed parents SO ready to eff
face them. They have seemed content to
live only for others. But this virtue of
self-sacri6ce is greatly misunderstood. To
deny ones self for great end, to help the
weak, to relieve the burdened, that is he
roic. But only to sew for the idle, to take
steps for the inconsiderate, to pamper vanity
and folly with endless services, to be an un
paid upper servant for unappreciative kin
dred, to make ones self of no account thai
selfshness may prosper, that is selfish ane
perpetuates tyranny. This degrades ant
belittles her who ministers, as it initiate
and misleads her who is ministered unto
By cultivating little of that selfshnes
which she sees in others, the single womal
may command respect. She should no
slight her dress, and put away from her tn
ornaments and graces of life. They ar
her armor and defense, her argument an
appeal; for it is for her to show, in her ow
person, how much more is the woman tha
the wife, and how incontestable is her righ
to place in the house, in society, and i
the world.

How to be Beautiful.

Most people would like to be handsome.
All cannot have good features; they are as
God made them; but almost any one can
look well, especially with good health. It
is hard to give rules in very short space,
but in brief these will do: d
Keep clean-wash freely. All the skin
wants is leave to act free, and it takes care
of itself Its thousand of air-holes must not
be closed.
Eat regularly, and sleep enough-not too
much. The stomach can no more work all
the time, day and night, than horse. It
must have regular work and rest. M
Good teeth are help to good looks
Brush them with soft brush, especially al
night. Go to bed with. clean teeth. o.
course to have white teeth it is needful t.
let tobacco alone. All women know that
Washes for the teeth should be very simple
Aicds may whiten the teeth, but takes Of
the enamel and Injuries them.

Select Aoetrp.


=
Sweet is the voice that calls
From babbling waterfalls,
In meadows where the downy seeds are flying;
And soft the breezes blow,
And eddying come and go .5
In faded gardens where the rose is dying.
Among the stubbled corn
The blithe quail pipes at morn,
The merry partridge drums in hidden places,
And glittering insects CLEAN
Above the reedy stream
Where busy spiders spin their filmy laees
At eve. cool shadows fall
Across the garden wall,
And on the clustered grapes to purple turning;
And pearly vapors lie
Along the eastern sky,
Where the broad harvest moon is redly burning.
All soon on field and hill
The wind shall whistle chill
And patriarch swallows call their focks together.
To fly from frost and snow
And seek for lands where blow
The fairer blossoms of balmier weather.
The crickets chirp all day.
20 fairest summer stay!"
The squirrel eyes askance the chestnuts browning;
The wild fowl fly afar
Above the loamy bar,
And hasten southwark ere the skies are frowning.
Now comes fragrant breeze
Through the dark cedar trees,
And round about my temples fondly fingers
In gentle playfulness
Like to the soft caress
Bestowed in happier days by loving fingers.
Yet though sense of grief
Comes with the falling leaf,
And memory makes the summer doubly pleasant;
In all my autumn dreams
A future summer CLEANS,
Passing the fairest glories of the present.

A WONDERFUL TREE DIscovERED. .aiz
The Banyan-tree is well known TO science.
1t throws out branches which, touching the
ground, take root, so that after awhile
whole forest may grow from single tree.
But there is another wonderful tree, with
similar power, that has just been discover
ed in New Guinea. This tree also throws
out branches, but instead Of taking root
the branches twine themselves around any
object they touch, and lift the object into
the air. In this way the long tendrils pick
up stones, bones, bits Of wood, and other
triAes, holding them aloft for years, until
they grow into the tree. ss.,

Things in their Places.

Experience shows us that unless the
habit of being orderlyis cultivated In youth,
it never will be ours in mature years. The
disorderly girl may be subject to spasmodic
fits of tidiness, and at such times her clos
cts, bureau drawers and boxes will be put
in order, but as these attacks are but tenn
porary, they are soon over, and the old way d
fallen into again. Such girl may be good =,
and clever in many respects, but her want
of order and system, beside being an ineon-
venience to herself, will be more or less a
trial to those about her. Girlheod is the
time when habits are formed, and if an {
impulse to be orderly is followed then, it I.
will grow upon us until it will become a i
second nature, and disorder will be pain O
to us. Some girls make their things last 8
so much longer than others, and we wonder ! :
sometimes by what magic they can be worn
SO long without looking shabby. The rear
son is that they take good care of them.
Their dresses are brushed carefully and the
slightest spot upon them removed before I
hanging them away, ribbons and laces are I
folded and laid away with care, gloves are
mended when the tiniest hole shows itself;
a button lost from shoe is restored imIne-
diately, and the "stitch in time keeps
many wardrobe looking fresh and, new,
which otherwise would become old and
worn out, if neglected from time to time,
Girls, don't give way to self-indulgence
and laziness in regard to your own personal
belongings IF you have desire to leave
things around, or to put off mendinga a gar-ii
ment, because you don't happen to feel
like being tidy at the time Or in a mood
for mending, don't yield to it, for every
time you are Strengthening the impulse to-
be disorderly, and discouraging any inclina-s
ton you may have to be orderly, and are
taking the steps that viii influence your
character for the whole of your future life.
