str ange how much we are told about
fotd clothing, ventilation, drainage, ex-
erdse and other things which have an
influence on our health, and how very
seldom we think of rest. And yet, as a
remedial and restorative measure, it is
OF the first Importance in many cases.
Most physicians know what to do and
when to do it, but a god deal Of common
sense is required to discover how not to
do something and when to let the patient
alone. A combination Of drugging and
fretting kills more than half the sick
people in the world. A mans enemies
can rot do him near so much damage as
his friends. The world is possessed
with the notion that when a man is TAX

alienation of nursing and fussing, while
preternaturally wise ana whispering

because somebody is i'll and needs chief
ly rest. We have not yet, most Of US,
gotten rid of the old notion Of the an
clients that disease is personality, a some
thing that is in the air, that travelsabout,
enters our dwellings, and finally seizys

of all the maladies Of all the people in
the world would get we'll in few hours

ploy. But the patients often estimate
the Doctors skill by the wonderfully
wise look which he assumes, and the
extent or variety of his pr"scri ptions;
AMI a sick mans friends hate to seem

ofiicious. 1t is to be understood, of
course, that we are not speaking of ex-
IRENE cases, but of the treatment Ut

From the st. Louis r publican.
Last Wednesday morning at the
Church of st. John Nepomuk, on the
corner of Eleventh and Soulard streets,
there was an occurrence of singular and
to most people awful solemnity. At 8
o'clock there was a high mass celebrated
at which were married young couple.
When the ceremony VAS nearing it's
close, the bride and groom. with their
attending trademarks and groomsmen
kneeling on the steps Of the altar, and
the church crowded with their friends
and relatives, tbs church bell pealed
forth, not the merry marriage chime,
bat the slow and dolorous toll for the
dead: To the door of the church there
came hearse, and into the aisle. down
which the newly welded ones were
compelled to pass, there was brought
the long bier with all its sombre display.
When they had received the blessing
2of tho priest the bride and groom
turned, and in moving to the door ofthe
eeh, had to separate and pass, one

Willis and Heirs.

An action full of fine moral courage,
which was brought before the English
courts lately, would have delighted the
soul of Thackeray. 1t might nave been
the deed of his own Henry Esmond.
A Colonel T. became twenty years ago
the heir to large estate, by the death
of his elder brother. In 1881 he re-
ceived the intimation that this brother
had been privately married, and that q
child, born of this marriage, had been
left at nurse in certain village of York
shire. Colonel T., who was with his
regiment in India, obtained furlough,
and set lawyers and detectives to work
to trace the lost child.
It was found that it had been sent to
an almshouse, and there all trace of it
was lost. But the co onel was not sat-
lshed. He pursued his inquiries for a
year for this child, who, if discovered
would dispossess him Of his inheritance.
The missing heir was found at last in
the person OF an educated servant-maid
in a farmers family. Colonel T., as soon
as the legal proof of her identity was
established, went to her, told her Of
her good fortune, placed her in the care
of teachers and masters, and made over
the property to her; and then having
thus performed his duty as an honora-
BILE English gentleman, returned to his
regiment poorer but nobler man.
Another story equally true, and even
of the marlborough Assizes. Robert
Baldwin made Will disinheriting his
eldest son, George, and giving his estate
to his son John. Soon after he became
childish, and 80 continued until his
death; his son, George, having found
the will, hid it, and entered into pos
session of the estate; which lie held for
twenty-One years.
At the end Of that time he, in turn,
became incensed ut his elder son, Rob-
ert, and made will in favor of the Sec
ond boy, Edwin. Edwin, however WAS
extremely fond Of his brother, and in
order to prevent this injustice, by which
he was to benefit, he opened the secret
drawer of his fathers desk to destroy
the will. lie there found his grandfath-
er's will, by which the entire estate was
left to his Uncle John. This document
he shove ed to his brother, and the two
men resolved that justice should 1T last
be done, and carried 1t to their uncle,
who entered suit for his delayed rights.
"The jury" we are told. found yer.
dict Tor the plaintiff; who was thus re-
stored to his estate after twenty-five
years."
Another anecdote narrated as fact is
that of q certain miser named Case in
Woolwich, who collected all his kinsfolk,
and told them that if any of them
crossed his threshold, he would not leave
them penny. When the { Id man be-
came Ill, however, one of them, u little
girl. took pity on him; and in spite of
his incessant abuse and threats, nursed
and waited on him. 1t Was found after
his dca l. that he had made her his sole
heiress.

than fiction, but always moro just in it's
awards.-Youth's Companion.

Farming Paragraphs.

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
tleman reports new enemy to the po.
tato in the shane of a weevil which
preys upon the stock, entering it near
the ground, consuming the pith and
causing the stalk to dry up and die.
The editor advises burning the affected
vines and roots, as soon as the insects
work is noticed.
The New York Times reminds farmers
that smut is rapidly increasing, few
crops being free from it. A solution of
four ounces of blue vitrol-sulphate of
copper-dissolved in gallon of water
for each five bushels of seed, VIII oh is
stepped in it until it is absorbed, has
been found the most effective to destroy
the minute spores which produce the
fungus.
Provide variety of feed for the hogs.
Do not feed corn alone. Feed the
pumpkins that you raised among the
corn. Pick up the potatoes too small
for market and the fallen apples not
wanted for cider, and feed them to the
hogs. Swing your large iron kettle in
the hog lot and cook those turnips you
have raised on the early potato patch;
mix with turnips, bran, corn-meal, and
a very little salt, and feed in troughs.
See that the hogs get ashes, charcoal
and salt regularly. Save all vegetable
scraps and greasy water and refuse milk
for the slop barrel, which keep one
third full of bran and corn-meal. Begin
feeding the hogs three light meals per
day.
No farmer, says--the New York Times,
should omit to steep his seed wheat in
some ca'1stic solution that will destroy
the germs of rust and smut. A solution
of four ounces of blue vitriol-sulphate
of copper-dissolved in gallon of water
for each five bushels of seed, viii h is
stepped in it till it is absorbed, has been
found the most effective. Strong lime
which contains large quantity of ana
monia, have all been used with benefit.
Smut is rapidly increasing. Few grain
crops are free from it, and all we can do
to help ourselves to prevent it is to use
these precautions.
The Albany Evening Journal, in an
swer to the question, "What holidays a
farm hand that hires out by the year is
entitled to-" discourses pleasantly
about the duties and privileges of farm
service and closes as follows: IA farm
hand is entitled to as many holidays as
the seas IN and the work can spare to
him without causing real loss; of course
he is supposed to DO the work involved
in caring for live stock seven days in the
week; and as for hours, he should be as
willing to work fifteen day in the stress
of harvest or shearing as he is to work
three and a half in idle winter weather.
But he can have better guarantee for
himself than most of the operatives
whose hours and holidays are fixed by
law or usage, by being contented and
cheerful about his work, bv watching
his employers interests, and by trying
to make himself the most valuable farm
hand in the section. They say that that
sort of man has grown scarce on

Why Money is Like Powder

WHY NlOHcy IS AAho ONUtI.
Henry Ward Beecher,
The worst use men can make of wealth
is to hoard it. Riches that are simply
laid up, and that are never used, are
squandered. Money is like powder-no
good till it goes off. A man who has a
large amount of property and does not
spend it, does not enjoy it. He is
nothing but a Waterman Of his own
property. Now, I hold that man does
not spend his money selfshly who
makes himself an object Of admiration
and affection in the community. l hold
that man has right to spend his
money on his house. But where man
has acquired house he ought
with books and all the embellish-
most beautiful place on earth to him and
his wife and children. But has man
who is Christian, a right to spend 80
much money on himself and family
when there are go many noble uses to
which it could be put? think it is a
grand thing for a man to spend money
on prolessorship, build hospitals, erect
churches. But / declare that man
Al no raises five or six sons and daugh-
tiers to noble and intelligent manhood
and womanhood. to a LIE of integrity
and usefulness, has given to society the
noblest institution this side of heaven
itself!
Well, next to that, of course, man
must use his funds for the purpose OF
lettering the community in which he
lives; for its Identification, publication
and intelligence. The man who has

up, is the most ungratefcl of beings
The rich men of a community should
see to it that the community fares we'll;
that it has libraries, reading rooms,
with all the privileges of shade trees,
parks, fountains-these are the things
that rich men should do.

Relation Of Clothing to Bodily Heat.
From "Clothing and the Atmosphere, by
M. r. Radaux, IN Popular Scienee Month.
~ for October '"~ -:.t
The thinnest veil is vestment in the
sense that it moderates the loss of heat
which radiation causes the naked BODY
to experience. In the same way cloudy
sky protects the earth against too great
cooling in Spring nights. In covering
ourselves with multiple envelopes of
which we augment the protecting thick
ness according to the rigor of the sea-
sons, we retard the radiation from the
body by causing it to pass through Sc
ries of stages, or by providing relays.
The linen, the ordinary dress and the
cloak constitute for us so many artificial
epidermises. The heat that leaves the
skin goes to warm these superpimosed
envelopes; it passes through them the
more slowly in proportion as they are
It ESCAPES but Without MAKING l u.s. ns'i feel
the chill which direct contact with
the atmosphere occasions, for our
clothes catch the cold for us.
The hair and the feathers of animals
perform the same function as toward
their skin, serving to remove the seat
of calorific exchange away from the
body. The protection we owe to our
clothes is made more effectual by their
always being wadded with q stratum Of
warm air. Each one of us thus has his
own atmosphere, which goes with him
everywhere, and is renewed without
being cooled. The animal also finds
under its fur an additional protection in
the bed of air that fills the spaces be-
tween the hairs; and it is on account of
the air they inclose that porous substan-
ces, furs and feathers keep warm.
Experiments to determine the degree
of facility with which different SUBJ
stances used for clothing allow heat to
escape were made by Count Ru1nfc I'd,
Seneiber, Boeckmap, Jamer Stark and
NJ. Coulter. The results were not in all
cases consistent with each other, but
they indicate that7t the property is de-
pendent on.the texture of the substance
rather than the kind of material, or
as concerns non~lumiuous heat-its

Old Chairs.

With the revival of old furniture, the
straightforward rockers of our great
grand seem to find place in
modern homes. It is quite the fashion
to fit up the old chair which used tc
stand in the chimney corner seventy
I've years ago, and which has rocked tile
children of the past generation. If an
heirloom of this kind can be made pref.
ty and attractive, why should it not be?
The old chair metamorphosed so that
our Observation-Disclosures W. u!d never re-
cognize it, perhaps, is reminder of the
dear old people who endured many
hardshi ps in those early days. The first
thing to he done to modernize the an
cient piece of furniture is to
take IF the old paint and
smooth the rough wood with
glass and sandpaper. After this process
has been gone through with very care
fully, coat of the best black paint is
applied; this dry, it is rubbed down
with very fine sand paper and another
coat put on. If desirable, lines of gilt
are run around the legs. or wherever
they will add to the general effect. The
chair itself renovated, it is next or a.
mented with handsome plush cushions.
One is fitted to the back and fastened
on with bows of ribbons at the two up
per corners, while the other, fuller and
softer, just nicely fits the seat. Very
elegant cushions recently made for a
chair of this kind were of gensd 'armes
blue plush. The one for the back of the
chair had two sprays OF golden rod with
ferns and bright colored maple leaves
embroidered on it in arrasene. The
whole effect was charming and the old
chair chair compared favorably with its
elegant neighbors.

Keep the Babies Warm

How to keep babies warm in winter is
always problem. The best way is not
only to provide them with knitted or
merino underwear, but also with little
sacks to wear outside their white dress
es. These can easily be made either in
6ne-checked flannel or crocheted; they
need not be shaped at all, but simply cut
in plain, straight pieces for back. and
front, a space being left for sleeves, and
a narrow hem at the neck, provided
with fine ribbon string so that it can
be drawn to fit. The sleeves should be
made with hem at the wrist so that
they can be tied in the same way, fitting
tightly to the little arm. Such littl e
acks add immensely to the warmth
and therefore to the comfort of the lit
tie one, and it is impossible to everesti-
mate the value of warmth in the health
Of small children. Circulation is so fee
bic with them that heat must be induced
by artificial means. Lace caps for out.
door wear, even when lined, are scarcely
warm enough. Very pretty hoods can
be made by knitting in white wool and
trimming with sWansdOWn.
