Salt, Sulphur and Charcoal FOR Psss.

We have observed that when pigs are
fed great deal of hearty food they are
fond of salt and charcoal. Pigs are often
affected with indigestion, and the salt
and charcoal are good remedies. We
cannot well mix these things in their
food in the right proportion, and, more
over, it would not be the best 10 attempt
to force pig to eat them unless it
wanted 10, or else it's appetite might be
destroyed and harm come from the ex-
pertinent, but by mixing the salt and
charcoal together, and putting them in 8
box accessible to the pigs, they viii eat
no more than they require. There is no
danger in putting either salt, charcoal or
sulphur where the pigs can get them,
but to mix them in their food might in
jure them, especially il one of thena
should possess a voraciOus appetite. Hogs
will eat considerable quantity Of sui
phur, and it is exceedingly healthful 70
them as purifier to the blood, and 10
help them to get rid of the Yermin
which infest their bodies inside and out.
We want the pigs we are going to eat 10
have plenty Of sulphur, at least all they
will take. Their flesh makes better food.

A MOlnanys Glove.

A woman's glove is to her what vest
pocket is to a man. But it is more Cd
pacious, and in nine cases out of ten il
is much better regulated. A man will
carry 5000 in small change, four matches.
half dozen toothpicks, short pencil
and other things, and yet not be able to
find nickel, or match, or a toothpiCk
or a pencil or card when he wants it.
Not so with woman. She has the least
bit of glove, and in that she carries
the tiniest hand, and wad of bills, and
the memorandum for her intended pur-
chase of dry goods, and car tickets, and
matinee checks, and maybe a diminu-
tive powder-bag. We have no idea how
she does it-how she manages to squeeze
those thousand and one things into that
wee space. But she does it every time,
and the glove never looks the least dis
tended or ruffled. And when a woman
wants any article concealed about that
glove, she doesn't seem to have the least
trouble in the world getting at it. All
required is a simple turn of the wrist,
the disappearance of fairy fingers, and
the desired article is brought to light
u is a wonder that no Sava1st can explain.

P1Dular Education.

Accepting this as fundamental max
i'm, that 'Whatever should enter into
the life of nation should be taught in
the public schools" let us consider some
things that enter into the life of pros
porous people.
Man lives not by bread alone; and the
culture of the heart only ensures per-
feet life, eitheI of an individual or of q
nation. Hence, the schools of a country
should not be irreligions or goddess. Both
by precept and example, the precepts of
religion should be taught. The highest
standard of morals should be enforced.
None but men and women of the noblest
character and purest life should be al
lowed to teach the youth. If religion
and morality are to enter into the COM
plex life of the nation, they must not
be banished from the public schools.
If a nation prospers, industry, fru-
gality and economy must enter into it's
life. Hence, these old-fashioned virtues
should have place in the schools. The
young should be taught that an educa-
tions fits them for work, not to live with
out work. In school, the young man
should learn the value of time, and
should be taught how to fill up the days
and the years, as they pass, with profit
able industry or substantial enjoyment
for true livingis what is enjoyed, whether
it be in the qualification of the present,
or for that in the future which promises
an enjoyment that more than counter
balances the self-denial of the present.
Let the youth in our schools be taught
that labor is Heavens great ordinance
for human improvement, and the pros
perity of the nation cannot be checked
by senseless theories of finance. Fru-
gality, as opposed to a useless expendi-
ture of money, should be inculcated.
This must be mainly done by the state,
in its expenditure of money for the erec-
ton of school buildings, in the cost of
textbooks, and in the general manage
ment of the schools. This should not
descend to a niggard parsimony; but
when, with borrowed money, school
houses are erected and furnished with
an elegance far beyond that which is
found in the homes of the people, is it
not an encouragement to the young men
of the state to go beyond their own
means to build homes for themselves,
provided they have little credit2

From Cause tO ERect.

The rational look Of the world is de-
MED by no one. Eyes look as If they
were made to see with. Ears as if they
were made to hear with. Legs look as
If they were made to walk with. The
nutritive apparatus looks as if it were
made to keep the body in repair. The
lungs loOk as if they were made to
aerate the blood and the blood vessels
rs if made with an eye to their actual
functions. And In general, science every
where assumes that nature is rational,
and that everything is adapted TO every
thing else. We must remember that
science is not merely observation but
IS chiefly the conclusions from the OBJ
seryations. Science aims by the aid of
reasoning to pass behind the phenom-
ena and form some conception of the
supersensible realities upon which ap-
pearances are based. But it enters into
this hidden world only by thought ; and
it implicitly assumes, therefore, that the
laws Of thought are valid for all being.
Science, then, is built upon the notion
that tue real is rational and intelligide;
and it aims 10 grasp the rational syster
which is In things. If We should as
sumo that the real is irrational, and
unintelligible, all our science would per-
ish. What would become of astronomR
if we assume that the flying planet s
not bound By the rational principles of
mathematical The atomic theory and
ether theory are no facts Of observation,
but only rational inferences from phe-
nomena but if the real is not rational,
of course, these and all other scientific
theories fall to the ground. We con-
clude, then, that there is mind back Of
nature which realizes in nature its pre-
conceived plans and pIEposea

Hints Ah0nf Water.

No water that has stood in open YES
sells during the night should be used for
drinking or cooking. By exposure to the
air it has lost its "aeration," and has abb
sorbed many of the dust germs floating
iu the apartment. If convenience re-
uuires water to be kept in vessels for sew
eral hours before use, it should be cover
ed. unless the vessels are tight. Wherey-
er it is practicable, all distributing res
eryoirs should be covered. Filtering
adds to the purity of water Drinking
water should never be taken from lakes
or rivers on low level. Surface water,
or water in lakes, pools or rivers, which
receive the surface wash, should be avoid
ed as much as possible Do not drink
much water at time More than two
tumblerfuls should not be taken at a
meal, Do not drink between meals un-
less to quench thirst, as excess of water
weakens the gastric juice and overworks
the kidneys. Excessive potations, wheth-
er of water or other fluid, relax the stom-
ach, impair its secretions and paralyze
its movements. By drinking little at
time all injury is avoided.
