LITTLE COMFORT"


know little grille
w III loving eyes SO blue,
And lips just made for Milling.
Aud heart that's kind and true.
She wears no dainty dresses,
No Jewels does she own,
But the greatest of all treasures
Is h r little self alone.
Her namo is "Mo hers Comfort"
For All the 1--WE long day
Her busy little fingers
Hem mother cares away,
The sunshine loves to plisten
An | hide In her soft hair.
And dlmples chase each other
About her cheeks so fair.
Oh this darling little grille,
With he diamonds In h eyes.
Makes in mothers heart a sunshine
Brighter far than Hoods the skies.
But the name thnt suits her better,
And makes her glad eyes shine,
Is tho name of Mothers Comfort
This little treasure mine.

Tho Prevention Of Insanity.

DR.. Nathan Allen, of Lowell, Mass,
in pamphlet on the subject. calls at
tentiOn to the prevention Of insanity
as question which. although much
negle tied, is at least quite as important
as that of the cure of insanity. The
disease is very largely dependent on
physical and sanitary conditions, and
these should be studied out and brought
within such regulation as will prevent
its development. Since. according to
the late Sir James Coke, insanity
originates in some form of disease or
in a deterioration of the body rather
than in an exclusive affection of the
nervous system, its growth should be
checked by a general diffusion of the
knowledge of the laws of the human
organism and the use of all means
necessary for the preservation of good
health. So far as insanity is heredi-
tary, its transmission should be pre-
vented by avoiding marriage with
persons predisposed to it. Itshould be
the aim of the medical profession to
become so well acquainted with the
diseases of the nervous system and the
brain that they could detect the first
symptoms of disturbed or deranged
states of mind, so as to be able to treat
them understandingly, and, in all
probability, in many cases successfully.

Consumption.

Theodore Parker came of sturdy
stock of Massachusetts farmers, intelli-
gent, long lived and capable of continu-
Gus toll. But of his nine brothers and
sisters all but one died of consumption.
Theodore, himself, died of the same dis
ease, at forty-nine, though his constitu-
ton had seemed of iron. But he had
crowded the work of long lifetime
into less than fifty years, and that toll
brought out the seed-implanted disease.
He gave a natural explanation as to
how the fatal disease entered into the
life of a family which ought to have
been lOng-lived.
His fathers farmhouse stood on a
hillside, which sloped into large,
spOngy meadow. The meadow was al
ways wet. The mists were heavy nights
and mornings, and thus the seeds of
pulmonary disease were gradually sown.
Under favOring circumstances they in
variably ripened into death. Mr.. Park
er says:
''Three generations of stout and long
lived men were born and grew up there;
and if the fourth be now puny. and sink
quicker to the grave. it is from no fault
of the old house, but from the consump-
ton which such spongy meadows in
New England seldom fail to produce in
the course of time. Even children, who
have removed to healthier situations,
carry with them the fatal poison in their
blood, and transmit it to their sons and
daughters. YOUTHS Companion.
