| The holiest relations which man has evolv-
ed is the home. The husband and wife
should grow together, sharing prosperity,
iov and sorrow. They should be intelectu-
al companions. Only of late has it been
admitted that woman has intellect and is
not merely a creature of sentiment. The
real fact is that mans intellect is fitted for
generalization, woman's for specialization.
Between these two poles lie all art, science
and morality. Egotism or altruism is not
the true basis of life, but to live for the uni

CARE OF THE FEET-Persons, the circu-

constantly cold tend to congestion of the in
ternal organs. Such persons should take
vigorous exercise in the open air. The
blood vessels of their feet become narrowed,
thus perpetuating and increasing the diff

this counteracts the tendency to congestion,
enlarges the vessels, and helps permanently
to relieve the feet of their special tendency
to coldness.

or soap freely. Then having dried them
with much friction, rub them with glycerine
mixed with an equal quantity of carbolic
acid, the latter two per cent. strong. The
next night, and for few nights if necessa-

peated from time to time will keep most
feet soft and healthy.
Feet that perspire profusely, and emit
bad odor, should be often washed perhaps
every night. After they have been wash

should be changed daily. Boots should be
worn with inner soles. These can be taken
out daily and dipped in two per cent. So

Boots and shoes should be fitted to the
shape of the foot. No pressure should be
allowed to come against the joint Of the
great toe. The slightest pressure may in
flame it, and send an undue blood supply
to it; and thus the joint will become enlarg-

deformity it always tends to increase the
size and is often painful. Besides the lat

easier to prevent corns than to cure them.
Our readers are all familiar with the fact
that there is perpetual flow of air from

beneath to fill the vacuum. Now the ankles

ALONG JoURNEY.-There Isl hint, in the
following incident, of the way in which
children may be trained so as not to regard
death as the King of Terrors
That night, before they went to bed, they
were allowed to 20 in and kiss their mother
goodnight. This privilege had been denied
them lately, and theirhearts responded with

or she could not see them. The doctor had
cured her. They would love him for it all
their lives! She was very pale, but smiling,
and her first words to them were, 81 am
going on a journeyw
"a journey ~ cried the children. "Will
you take us with you?"
"No; it is long, long Journey"

Katy; "the doctor has ordered her to. She

dear ones for in the morning, before you
are awake l shall be gone. You will all
come to me when you are made ready, but
each must make the journey alone"
In the morning she was gone. When the
children awoke their father told them Of
the beautiful country at which she had safe

"HoW did she go? Who came for her 2"
they asked, amid their tears.
'"The chariot of Israel and the horsemen
thereof" their father told them, solemnly
People wonder at the peace and happiness
expressed in the faces of these mOtheresS
children. When asked about their mother
they say, "she is gone on a Journey" and
every night and morning they read in her

lives, whose inhabitants shall no more say,
