The GOSSIP.

Many persons take extreme de
light in treasuring up the sayings
of one individual to inpart them
to the next one they meet, be they
friend or not, giving hem color
and meaning enough t. excite an
answer from the one WI whom
they are conversing. The anssi
claims to be your most true fl .eI
tells YOU everything confidential
reqesting perfect secrecy, bnt n
er once fails to divulge to SOM
other make-belicve friend, all that
you have said and very frequently
in the case, that the facts are en-
larged upon and distorted to an
alarming exteLc, very detrimental
to the opinion that friend has OF
you. Many close and intimate
friends have become the worst OF
enemies because Of some rattle
brain tattler acting the messenger
from one TO the other, without any
remuneration except only the vii
famous satisfaction they enjoy III
interfering in other peoples bust
ness, because of their own lack o.
brains and interest to take charge
of and control their own petty at
fairs. A person Of this character
is nuisance to any community
and the sooner Silenced the better
it is for everyone.

Why Women Break Down.

There is little doubt that.women
are breaking down more rapidly
than men, because they allow them
selves to take less real rest. When
a woman lets go Of any work she
may have in mind she ties it to her
apron string, as it were. She has
been taught through long ages Of
training that it is high crime aud
a misdemeanor to let anything es-
cape her mind, so she is constantly
when she is ut rest pinching herself
or prodding herself to see if she
hasn't FIR GOTTEN something. In
this way til e carries the burdens Of
her work nto her resting hours,
and sits IL sn among the roses OF
relaxation with her foot on the
readle of he grindstone of prosy
lrudgery.
If men kept their noses to the
grind stone with womanly perSis-
ten. ey would he nervous and
irrita !, b you'd compare. If wo.
men O. get their own consent
to rest / would have better com.
plexiou ter stomachs, and. a

Reading and Reasoning.

After reading a book, or an ar.
ticle, or any item of information
from any reliable source, before
turning your attention to other
things, give two or three minutes
quiet thought to the subject that
has just been presented to your
mind; seq how much you CAN re-
member concerning it; and if there
were auy ideas, instructive facts,or
points of special interest that i'm.
pressed you rs you read, force
yourself to recall them. 1t may DO
a little troublesome at first until
your mind gets under control and
learn to obey your will, but the very
effort to think it all out will en-.
grave the facts deeply upon the
memory, so deeply that they will
not be etfaced by the rushing in of
new and different set of ideas,
whereas if the matter be given no
further consideration at all, the
impressions you have received will
fade away so entirely that within
a few weeks you will be totally un
able to rem ember more than dim
outline of them. Form the COOL
habit, then, of always reviewing
what has just been read. 1t exer-
cises and disciplines the mental
faculties, strengthens the memory
and teaches concentration Of
thought. You will soon learn, in
this way, to think and reason intel
llgeutly, to 'eparate and classify
different kin .of information; aud
in time the n I'd, instead of being
a lumber room (which the various
contents are t own together in
careless confusi and disorder,
will become q s:3rehouse where
each special class or item Of knowl.
eye, neatly labelled, has its own
particular place, and is ready for
use the instant there is need OF it.

To Get Rid Of Cockroaches.

ously were they engaged in suck:

not more than a fourth Of the pre-.
vious night.
On the third night I did not dis
cover one, but anxious to ascertain
whether the house was quite clear
of them, [ examined the peel after
[ had laid it down about half An
hour, and perceived that it WAS
covered with myriads of minute
cockroaches, about the size of a hea.
[ therefore allowed the peel to re-
main till morning, and from that
moment [ have not seen a cock
roach in the house. 1t is Il very Old

the above remedy only requires to
be persevered in for three or four
nights to completely eradicate the
pest. Ofcourse 1t should be fresh

She foots II ever fair and young,
Her locks are tied in haste;
And ono Is DER her shoulder flung,
And hangs below her waist.
She runs before me In the meads,
And down this world worn track
She leads us on but while she leads
She never gazes back.
And yet her voice is in my dreams,
To witch me more and more,
That wooing voice All me II seems,
Less near Inc than of yorc.
Lightly sped when hope was high,
And youth beguiled the chase
folIow--follow still, bull
Shall never see her face.
