NUTTING-TIME.

The month was October the frosts had come down,
The woodlands were scarlet and yellow and brown;
The harvests gathered the nights had grown chilli
But warm was the day on the south of the hill.
Twas there with our bags and our baskets we went,
And searching the dry leaves we busily bent
The chestnuts were big and the beechnus were small,
But both sorts are welcome to boys in the fall
And when, in the ashes beneath the bright flame,
On ewes of November, with laughter aud game,
The sweetmeats are roasted, recollect still
Bow fine was the day on the south Of the hill.

In their hands as a disguise for their

steadily, If not always loudly, protest
that 1t would be just AS sensible for a
dancer to carry his umbrella into the

take a porcelain plate from the table
and carry 1t through the German.
Nay, they would prefer "A clean plate

THE FAMILY DOCTOR.

Dr.. Foote's HealM Monthiy advises
parents not to punish child by boxing
or pulling its ears.
Kerosene oil will cure chilblains.
Rub the parts affected thoroughly with
the oil before going TO bed. A second
application may be necessary.
TO prevent the hair from falling
out, apply once a week with a piece Of
flannel or sponge wash made of one
ounce of powdered borax, half an
ounce of powdered camphor, and one
quart of boiling sater.
DR.. Danford Thomas, in his capacity
as coroner. has directed public attention
to the mortality which follows the
neglect of measles 1t is common
opinion among the poor that child
must have the measles, and that when
it gets the disease it requires no treat
mcnt and but little care. This is a
mistake. In the records Of vital
statistics it may be seen that it often
proves more fatal in the large towns
than any other zymotic disease. more
even than scarlatina. With medical
and parental care the disease generally
does well. but without this ii is liable
to serious complications and apt e

dreary and dangerous, and his acquaint.
ance was armed, he was glad OF his
company lie shared his food with
him. and in talking over their affairs
he was unwise enough to mention the
object Of his journey and the money
OF which he was possessed. This
reused the cupidity Of his fellow-travel-
Ter, who. at 4 certain point in the road,
made a murderous attack upon the
poor oobhler.
While they were struggling together,
a tiger lcapcd out Of the jungle upon
the cowardly assailant and bore him
away, leaving the sword and shield on
the ground. which the shoemaker at
once secured, taking them home as
tokens Of the retributive justice which
had been so signally manifested in his
behalf.
a North American Indian on the
trail is scarcely more pertinacious in
pursuing a victim which he has marked
for his own than the tiger when en-
gagged in the same unpleasant business.
a recently-married camel-driyer was
bringing home his bride when n tiger
espied the party and followed it with
grim patience. At turn in the road,
the bride was momentarily separated
from the rest of her fellow-traveler
and the tiger instantly seized her.
