HOW TO SAVE BOYS.

Women who have sons to rear,
and dread the demoralizing influence
of bad associates, ought to under
stand the nature of young manhood.
1t is disturbed by vague ambitions,
by thirst fos action, by longings for
excitement, by irrepres8ible desire to
touch life in manifold ways.
If you, mothers, rear your sons so
that then homes are associated with
repressions of natural instincts, you
will be sure to throw them into
society that in some measures can
supply the need of their hearts.
They will not go to the public
houses at first for love of liquor
very few people like the taste of Ii
quor; they go for the animated and
hilarious companionship they discov-
er that does so much to repress the
disturbing restlessness in their
breasts.
See to it, then, that their homes
compete with public places in at
tractiveness. Open your blinds by
day and light your fires by night.
illuminate your rooms. Hang pic
lures on the wall. Put books and
newspapers upon the tables. Have
music and entertaining games. Ban
ish demons of dullness and apathy
that have so long ruled in your
household, and bring in mirth and
good cheer Invent occupation for
your sons. Stimulate their ambi-
tons in worthy directions. While
you make home their delight, fill
them with higher purposes than mere
pleasure. Whether they shall pass
boyhood and enter upon manhood
with refined tastes and noble ambi-
tons depends on you.
Believe it possible that, with exer-
ton and right means, mother may
have more control over the destiny of
her boys than any other influence
whatever.

WATCHFULNESS IN PRAYER.

We complain of wandering of
thought in prayer; and yet how
much might be accomplished by
watchfulness in regard to such mat
ter as taking the hour for prayer when
we are freshest; by studied rever-
ence and attention when we approach
Him; by using every means to pre-
serve fixedness of thought-such as
that of repeating audibly the words
we use, or employing the aid of forms
of prayer. What an example of
effort is given US by Christ himself
''Being in an agony, he prayed the
more earnestly" That flesh was
surely "weak" whose sweat was
great drops of blood and yet there
was no yielding, but the closer wrest-
ling, until he arose in the calm of
victory. The precise thing he thus
prayed for was not indeed granted,
even to him. ''The cup did not
sspass from him." but he received
the grander gift of impregnable
peace in drinking of it. And so, too
when we feel the difficulties of prayer
let US pray the more earnestly,
s'watchiLg' while we pray. SIN
everything, by prayer and supplica-
ton, with thanksgiving, let us make
our requests known unto God, and
then, whether we get the very things
we ask or not, we have this promise,
1.-The peace of God, which passeth
all understanding, will keep your
hearts and minds through Christ
Jesus
A similar watchfulness over nat
ural temperament-by avoiding those
scenes and circumstances which tend
to excite us; by guarding against
any overtaXlng of the mental and
physical powers; and by attention to
bodily health-would prevent many
spiritual failure. ] am satisfied
that not few sad pages in what are
called religious biographies would
never have been written, and that
many bitter and discouraging ex-
perience in the lives of sincere Chris
tians would never occur if there had
only a wiser recognition of the weak
flesh and greater common sense
displayed in attending to such com
f mon details as we have alluded to-
We must watch therefore, ir
other matters as well as prayer, il
e we hope to gain real victories over
I self and in.-ReU. Daniel Mcleod.

WASHING THE FACE.-There are
some who object to washing the face
often, especially with soap, thinking
this an injury to the complexion. But
those who have made a speciality of
skin diseases say no part of the body
needs soap so much, that the face
being constantly exposed to dust,
collects so much it is not enough to
wash IN clear water. They say if
soap makes the face shiny, as so many
claim, 1t only shows that it is the
more needed, that the drying after
the bath has not been properly per-
formed. The face, however, should
not be wet Immediately before or af-
ter going out. It's most thorough
ablution should be performed at night,
before going to bed, and the follow
inc method should be observed in the
process Fill basin with soft, warm
water, lather a medium-sized sponge
with good soap and wash the face
carefully Then take fresh water,
without soap, and wash again with
the hands, and rub thoroughly with a
| Turkish or crash towel until the face
is dry and tingling, This will do
much toward improving and preserv-
ing the complexion and the little
vexatious black spots called 'fesh
worm,' will usually disappear after
time if it is persevered in.
One of the best remedies for rough
Or chafed hands is the following a.:
One ounce of glycerine, one ounce of
rose water, six drops of carbolic acid.
In cold weather, whenever it is nee
essary to wash the hands, apply q
few drops while they are moist, and
rub well into the skin. 1t may also
be used for the face.

constituencies, and the office is the most desir-

sharp strife among the different candidates, and
frequently bloodshed results. The reform that
many of the better class of Indians are now
advocating is the election of regular Delegate

meeting in this city last week of the Ma
tional Board of Indian Commissioners ana the
Indian Rights Association, at which speeches
were made by Senator Dawes, Representatives
Chace Stevens and Jones, President Gates, OF
Rutgers College; DR.. Spinning, and others.
Resolutions were adopted to the effect that the
solution of the Indian problem is to be found
in the abolition of the tribal system, the ailot-
ment Of the lands in severalty, and the adInls-
sion of Indians to the full rights OF citizenship.
The necessity OF putting into operation lmme-
diately a comprehensive system OF education
for all Indians was urged upon Congress, and
it was recommended that the unpaid balance
due the Indians under various treaties be eX-
pended by the Government within the next
three years in the establishment of new schools
like those at Hampton and Carlisle There
was approval expressed of the appropriation by
Congress of money to pay practical farmers to
teach the Indians agriculture. The allotment
of the lands in severalty will make the Indians
all quite rich. The following table shows the
