Hot Water.

The application of hot water t.
the surface for the relief of pain is
an old and well-tried remedy. The
medical profession now universal
" recognize its value.
At the commencement of a colo
the mucous membrane of the nos
trils often so swells as to prevent
the passage of air through them
and the person is compelled to
breathe through his mouth. The
discomfort may be often removed by
holding the feet in quite hot water
Many a severe headache can be re-
lieved the same way.
Pains in the bowels may be miti-
gated or removed by applying to
them rubber bags of hot water or
folds of wooden clothes wrung out
from water as bot as can be borne.
The same thing is true of face
aches, ear-aches and most aches and
pains.
The principle ON which the relief
depends is known by the name of
counter irritant. The pains in each
case are due to a congested state of
the bIood-vessels. That is, the
vessels are unduly distended with
blood, and thus press upon a1d ir-
ritate the neighboring nerves.
The hot water, by getting up an
irritation at distance, enlarges the
in that part and thus
turns the blood thither, relieving
the pressure at the point of pain.
The quantity of blood diverted,
say from the head to the feet, by
plunging the latter in hot water,
may be seen in their exceeding red
ness, every one of their millions of
,apillaries being distended and
crowded with blood.

A Contrast,

"Who would an old bachelor be?''
asks the old song. They are a not
to-be envied set of beings, assured
~. Comparisons are odious, yet
here they are in order. Think of
the superiority of the old maid owe:
the old bachelor in point of useful
ness. Old. maids are useful. They
can cook, sew, and take care of the
children, and nurse sick people, and
generally play the piano. But old
bachelors are useless. They do
net even know how to drive nails or
split wood. Old maids are amiable.
If one wants anything done that
requires patience and kindness Of
heart, single lady is sure to be
the one to do it. Old bachelors
are ill-natured. They snub chill
iren, despise babies and hate
young mothers, and are always so
ousily employed in seeing that 9th

Machinery.

Not so very long since, every
clock and watch that clicked in the
world was made by hand, and nc
wonder that they were expensive
luxuries. Each of the tiny screws
had to be turned, and every cog in
every little wheel measured off and
cut by itself, and every part care
fully adjusted to fit every other part
while the slightest defect in the
complicated workmanship might
utterly destroy the value of the ar
ticle. Clocks and watches have
now ceased to be the luxuries ofthe
rich.
1t used to be said that it took
seventeen men to make a pin and
the head-which was make by
twisting fine wire round the head
of the pin-was always liable to
drop off. Since then a much bet
ter article has been produced with
out the touch of a human hand
the cutting, handwriting, pointing,
polishing, even sticking of the pins
into paper and folding up into
packages, being done by machin-
cry.
Once every stitch in every gar
ment, and in everything else made
of cloth or leather, was taken by
human fingers and ''The song of the
shirt" was a weary one to sing.
To-day the sewing machine which
is found in every civilized land on
the globe, has revolutionized the
whole business of the tailor and
dressmaker and saddler, while its
rattle is heard in many private
dwellings.
Formerly ali the departments of
farming work required the most as
siduous toll of hand and arm and
foot; the husbandman reaped his
field as they did in the days of
Ruth and Boaz and threshed the
sheaf and winnowed the grain as
as they did when John the Baptist
preached. Now the lawn mower
and the patent reaper and the
thresher and winnowers have won
derfully lightened the labor of man.
And all the paper we had was
made by hand, and now it flows
out of the mill like a river
These are very familiar exam
pies of a change that Ia going on in
almost every department of life.

Common Sense in Eduoation.

Instead of teaching Greek and
Latin and the higher branches to
boys regardless Of their capacity
or bent or condition of life, there is
now disposition in thoughtful cir
cles to favor a trade education, or
rather whatever education best fits
the boy who is to receive it. We
have had so much idealism and
sentimentalism in educational mat
tiers that observing men of good
sense are beginning to see that the
training the average boy wants is
the one that will best enable him to
earn an honest living. The youth
who proposes to become an artizan
needs special training as much as
does the candidate for professional
honors. Not only is it best for the
boys who are to fill our factories,
but it is best for society, to give
every man q trade. Society should
do this for its own protection. We
are under no moral obligations
to make all boys. Greek students,
but it is our interest for men to
work by making them skillful in
some craft. In that way alone can
we reduce the sum total of idle
ness, and just in proportion as
we do that we lessen crime. For it
must be admitted that the want of
a trade more than illitercy is the
source of vice and misery. Of $50
convicts, aged 81 and under, re-
ceived in the Philadelphia peniten-
tiary, 755 had no trade but all had
been to school except 1913. These
figures can be proportionately du-
plicated in any penal Institution
and it is undoubtedly true that I'M
less young man is wholly de-
PRAYED, he will not resort to crime
If he is skilled in some craft. Men
IS a rule become criminals through
a pressure of adverse circum stances.
Society can best protect itself by
both the hands and heads
If its boys; thus making it compar-
Itively easy for them to become
rood and industrious citizens. 1t

Although both sexes are bound
by the same code of Aorals, there
appears to be two states of moral
ity-one for women and one for
men--the women have instituted
these two states. She tolerates in

A contributor to Puck says:
tin one gutter l saw pig; in the
other the semblance of a man. The
pig was sober; and the man was
drunk. The pig had ring in his
nose; the other animal had one on
his finger. The pig grunted; so did
the man. And 1 said aloud, we
are known by the company we keep;
and the pig heard me and walked
away, ashamed to be seen in the

In order to enjoy the present, it
is necessary to he intent on the

and thinking of another is a very
unsatisfactory mode of spending
life. Some people are always wish

doing, or somebody else than tc

4 n The Bad and
TITS Worthless
y Are never initiated

- Vs. Are never initiated
or corGnterJeited.
This is especially true of a
family medicine, and it is posi-
tive proof that the remedy initiated
is of the highest value.
AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world
that HOP Bitters was the purest,
best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many imita-
tions sprung up and began to steal
the notices in which the press and
people of the country had express
ed the merits of II. B., and in
every way trying to induce suffer
ing invalids to use their stuff in-
stead, expecting to make money
on the credit and good name of
III. B.
Many others started nostrums
put up in similar style to H. B.,
with variously cunningly devised
names in which the word Chop"
or Chops" were used in a way to
induce people to believe they were
the same as Hop Bitters. All
such pretended remedies or cures,
no matter what their style or name
is, and especially those with the
word "Hop" or Hops" in their
name or in any way connected
with them or their name, are imi-
tations or counterfeits.
Beware of them. Touch none
of them, but: Use nothing but
genuine Hop Bitters, with bunch
or cluster of green Hops on the
white label. Trust nothing else.

Practical. Economy.


l may remind you that perhaps
every one of us, and almost,every
one of our neighbors, has favorite
or pet economy of his own, which
usually serves to interest and often
to amuse his fellow men. Thus
many of US, perhaps, are accus-
toned to save up paper and string;
others are on the watch to prevent
waste of fuel, of water, of gas or
other light, and of many other
things too numerous to mention.
Some of these instances, indeed, are
historical and famous. The poet
Pope wrote the rough copy Of his
Iliak on backs of letters and other
stay odds and ends, by which, says
DR.. Johnson, in six years he saved
perhaps six shillings, The great
Duke of Marlboro was once visited
in his tent by q foreign nobleman,
who desired to receive a lesson on
economy. "We can talk over that
in the dark" said the duke, and i'm
mediately blew out he candle.
He Immediately rose and took his
leave, remarking that he had
learned enough for one session. In
one of Miss Terriers novels a
Scotch peasant woman refused to
allow her husband to take the
new medicine ordered by the doc
tor until he had finished the old,
which was prescribed the day be-
fore. But, without dwelling on
such incidents, let US try to formu-
late some general rules which the
rich and the poor may practice
alike with advantage.
i. Never allow anything to be
thrown away or destroyed which
can be made useful to anyone.
2. Never allow expenditures to
exceed income and never run in
debt without absolute necessity.
3. In estimating income and ex-
penditures never trust to mere
probabilities, but only to expert
ence and to facts on which you can
depend. A man who wished to
keep within his income, says Lord
Bacon, must set down his expendi-
ture at one-third or at most one.
half of that income.
4. Keep in mind that there are
some things that you cannot afford,
and others that you can, if neces
sary, do without. Such are to.
bacco, intoxicating drinks, thea
tire, etc.
3. Remember, also, that there are
some other things which you can
not afford to do without Such
are health, good food, good cloth
ing, good water and fresh air, anG
above all, a good conscience. Yor
cannot afford to leave your debts
unpaid, or to refuse help to those
who need it when it is in your pow
er to give it.--[J. S. Ropes.

The Coming Man and the Coming
Church.

The man of the coming church
will be the very soul of honor. He
cannot hold his place in the church
unless he is, and the fact that he
does maintain such a position as
sures passport to the confidence and
esteem of all men. His light will
SO shine that others, seeing the pu-
rity of his life and the beauty of his
character, will follow and initiate
him. All good men will belong to
the church, and all sneaks, hypo-
critics, tyrants and oppressors, find
ing no congenial companionship
therein, will seek other associations
or be shamed into better habits and
better life. There will be less of
the counterfeit article in the COM
ing church and more that has the
ring of the true metal The COM
ing man will talk religion less and
do it more. And the church will
come up out of the wilderness,
where it now is, fair as the moon,
bright as the sun, and invincible as
an army with banners.-- Richmond
