WISE WORDS.

1t is less pain to learn in youth than
to be Ignorant in age.
A large mass of error is easily en-.
balmed and perpctuatcd by a little
truth.
BY taking revenge a man is but ever
with his enemy; but in passing it Over
he is superior.
Graceful manners arc the outward form
of refinement in the mind and good alice
tions Of the heart.
A proud man demands of himself cX'
traordinaay ability; an arrogant maj
ascribcs it to himself.
OppOsition we want and must have tc
be good for anything. Hardship is the
native soil of manhood and sclf-rcliance'
Let a man have a "fcrvant love for what
is pure and Just and honorable, let him
have Il cordial adherence of what Is
sensual, mean, tricky and ungencrous,
and Ii 'wiH not go far wrong.
Time has Il doomsday-book upon whose
pages he is constantly recording illus
trious names. But, as often as Il ne"
name is written there. an old II dis
appears. Only a few stand i'll Illuminated
characters, never to be eiTaccd.
The habits of children prove that oc'
cumtion is a necessity with the most OF
them. They love to be busy. ever
about nothing, and still more to be use
fully employed, Children should be ell
couragcd, or, if indolcntly disinclincd tc
it, should be disciplined into performing
for themselves every little office relative
to their toilet which they arc capable OF
urrfOrminr.

Cost Of the CaDitaI

I have been figuring up what this capt.
tai of ours has cost lis since the beginning,
and | find that the amount is over 800,
900, 900. The subject was investigated
by Congress in 1876. The total at that
time was ii cost of $04, 3G2, 423; since
then $500, 900 has been paid out fol
public buildings alone, and the amounts
paid out for works of art, park dccora,
lions and other things will run the total
far ahead Of the amount above stated.
For a number of years it has cost
more than 81, O00,0 900 a year to pay
the government expenses of the District
of Columbia, and since 1862 the amounts
have been much higher. In 1878 the
amount was more than So, 900, 900. In
1875 it was more than $ $1,000. 900, while
from 1928 to 1862 it was less than 81,
900, 900 a year. In 1914 only $1,000
was appropriated for the District OF
Columbia, and it was not until 1897 that
the yearly proportion reached 1000, 00O.
1t is interesting to look over the items OF
permanent improvements in Washington.
These include the original cost of the
buildings and their repairs, furnishing
and keeping in order. The following
estimate, though not exactly correct, is
approximately so. 1t is less rather than
greater than the actual cost, sOmc of the
minor expenses during the past seven
years bcing omitted: The capitol has
cost SIT, G72, 1913; the patent office, over
$13, 600, 900; the treasury about $1,000,
900; the Washington streets, more than
Sc, 900, 900; the state department about
81, 200, 900; the navy nearly 81, 600, 600;
the White house, two parks and public
grounds, about $4,000, 0Oo.- W"shmg'O"

HEALTH HINTS.

Simple cmctic: Half a glass of warm
water; one hcaping tc%aspoonful of salt
and another of mustard.
An invaluable remedy for a sprain OF
bruisc is NORWOOD boiled in vinegar
and applied hot with enough cloths
around it to keep the sprain moist.
Never wash in warm water before
going out into the cold air. Such 4 prac-
ticc will roughcn the skin. Warm water
should be used only before retiring.
TO keep in good, sound health, one
must take II certain amount of exercise.
Exercising one part of the body and not
another in about the same degree, is
wrong.
On rising in the morning always put
on the shoes and stockings the first thing.
Never walk about in the bare feet OF
stand on oil-cloth. Even in summer
time this is a dangerous and unhealthy
practice.
1t is said that the skin Of a boiled egg
is the most cilicacious remedy that can
be applied to boil. Peel it carefully,
wet and apply TO the part affected. 1t
will draw of the matter and relieve the
soreness in a few hours.
On account of several recent cases OF
death in England among children who
had been fed on wheaton biscuit, Il phy'
stefan states in the British Meli,ut ,hnr
nal that infants under six or clgh,
months should be fed with nothing what
| ever but milk.

Goods" and "Chills."

SAYS the London Lancet: What is a
cold2 1t is a disturbance of the balance
between the several parts Of the nervous
system, brought about by the shock of a
sudden or prolonged exposure to the de-
pressing effect of "chill;" although the
same physiological results may be pro-
duced in the organism BY the operation
of any agent which is capable of giving
the nervous system a similar shock, and
thus creating the same kind of disturb
ancc. Natures provisions against the
consequences of a ''chill' and for the
prevention of a "cold" arc sncczing and
shivering. A violent fit Of sncezing Of
ten saves a chilled body the consequences
of the nerve depression, or ''shock," to
which it has been subject; and this
shock may in its first impression
be very limited in its area; for
example, the small extent covered
by a draught of cold air rushing
through the ~ercvicc of door or window.
The nerve ccnters are aroused from
their ''collapsc' by the commotion or en-
plosivc influence of the sncczc. If
sncczing fails, nature will try Il shivcr,
which acts mechanically in the same
way. If this fails, the effects are likely
to be very serious, and bad consequences
may ensuc. The popular notion rcvcrscs
the order of events, and hence the say
ing: ''If there is sncczing the cold will
be slight, if there is shivering it will be
cravc;" whereas it is slight when sncczing
suffices to recover the nervous system
quickly from its depression, and grave
when even strong shivering fails to do 50.
In case of chill, with threatened cold,
sncczing may be produced by a pinch of
snuff of any kind. This is how some of
| the vaunted "curcs of cold by snutl arc
brought about. Or brisk exercise may
ward off the attack. The popular idea
is that the circulation is restored by these
