ABOUT n
Hints which May Interest Those who
Are Unhappy About Their Liver.

1t has been estimated that five persons
go to the physicians of this city every
minute in the day complaining of bilious
ness. BY this reckoning it will appear
that there is here a small army Of sufferers
from this complaint, therefore it may be
profitable to consider briefly the causes
and cure of this apparently common
trouble.
Liver disorders ought naturally to be al
the foundation of all hillary arrangements,
and as organic diseases of this organ are
essentially chronic and often progress
steadily from bad to worse, it is plain that
only a small portion of bilious persons
are SO affected, FOR the reason that this
class of patients very usually get well.
This refers mainly to male patients.
Women never get well from liver troubles.
At all events. if a woman is once told by
the doctor that her liver is affected, she
will believe him and persistently suffer
therefrom until another doctor comes
along, who declares point blank, and per-
haps truthfully, that nothing ails that
organ.
The furred tongue, loss of appetite and
wish / were dead feeling of those who
think they are bilious are well known,
and to make a long story short the best
way to explain these matters is to attri-
butte them to a arrangement of the circu-
lation of the blood affecting every organ in
the body, including the liver.
This much is probable because measures
calculated to re-establish the circulation
are of great service to these quasi invalids.
BY this is meant brief abstinence from
food: general baths, followed by friction
of the surface of the body: the use, if in
Dictated, of laxative articles of food: oc-
casional draughts of hot water, sweetened
and favored, if desired, and regularly
washing the mouth on rising with hot salt
water, using the index finger in preference
to a brush.
Abstinence is useful in many cases, be-
cause indigestion is the real trouble.
Baths, followed by frietions, are very
grateful to the disturbed circulatory APP
paratus. Laxative articles of food are
often agreeable and are preferable to medi-
cine when they will effect the same end.
Hot draugbts are 0 popular. They can
do no harm and will certainly do good in
the cases prone to chill.
Washing the mouth is of great service
to those who suffer persistently with a
coated tongue and ugly taste in the mouth.
Change of air, scene and diet are also
valuable measures for those who are said
to be bilious, and in these days of cheap
and convenient railroading are easily ap-
plied.-Phdadelphia Times.

FAITHS Logic.

Wheels the world forever onward,
True, u~nwayering, night and day;
And the restless, ringing ages,
Greet her OF her changeless way.
Chafes the sea beneath the tempest.
But the tide comes up Away
Some eternal purpose reigneth
Which the seas themselves obey.
Wintry winds may blast the landscape.
Garden, field, and forest fair;
But no hand may stay the spring-tide
From replacing beauty there.
And shall He Who watches matter
Void of soul, and heart, and mind,
Fail through endless ages keeping
Loving watch DER humankind?
Thus j argue as / ponder
Through the night tide, all alone
While my spirit wanders backward
Through the years forever flown
Counting all h broker treasures
Strewn along life's thorny way;
Empty shrines and ruined temples.
Golden idols turned to clay.
But my heart grows calm and tranquil
When | think of Him who reigns,-
All life's deep and fearful meaning
Gentle, trusting Faith explains,
He who marks the falling sparrow
Safe will keep me, well know
Fol beyond His sentry cutposts
No poor wanderer ma go.
Out of darkness comes Ii morning.,
Out of winter m the spring.
And the broken fibre, woven,
On the lutte some day will sing;
All are parts of one great purpose,
And the end will prove it right;
Spite of sorrow, death and darkness,
Eyentide shall bring the light.

Hol hol March! Why do you blusterf
On the bough no blossoms cluster;
DO you, meath your coat of sleet.
Feel the pulse of April beats
DO not struggle any longer.
Night is strong, but light is stronger;
Every root within earth's breast
Is a vein by sunlight pressed.
Faster throbs each pulse of life,
Every nerve is in the strife.
All. old fellow! can see
That you still are mocking me,
And you blusterjust to hide
For one moment sour sweet bride
Come, throw on your coat of mail.
Ahl What now : a maiden pale.
Kiss her gently ere YOU fly;
See a tear is in her eye.

A WINDOW HOT-BED.

1t is 0 high time for pansy seed, des-
tined for early Towering, to be in the
ground. If the dirt was carefully prepar-
ed in the fall and stored away in the cellar,
so much the better. If not, the digging it
out from under the snow will be no trifling
matter. 1t should be thoroughly baked
in the oven, finely pulverized and sifted,
when cool, and prepared with the utmost
smoothnesss to receive the seed. n little
shelf before a sunny window, or a kitchen
table placed where the sun shines in the
longest time and most broadly. is a very
good place to m a small hot bed Oh.
Have some shallow boxes. or broken earth
enware, or pots, or gourds, or whatever
the earth and seeds-in the bottom must
be small holes for drainage-and place in
them either bits of charcoal, pebbles or
something which will keep the earth from
manure should be first put in, then the
earth, loan, or clay plentifully mixed with
leafy mould. This should be warm when
the seeds are put in, and kept warm and
damp until they terminate. A pane of
window-glass should be put over them to
keep the ~dampnesss in. When actually
above ground they ought occasionally to
be exposed to fresh air without in any way
chilling them. 1t makes the plants hardy,
and the blossoms darker and richer in color
and texture. This treatment applies to
many plants besides pansies. They are
perhaps as easily raised as any, and give
as satisfactory returns for the labor ex-
pended.-Fdrm and Ftreside.

INTERPRETING THE SERMON.

When Cousin Mary was three years old
she attended church for the first time with
her aunt. During the sermon she heard
the minister mention the name of God sew
eral times, and acted as if she knew he was
doing something wrong. Atlast h could
stand it no longer; the next time he said it
she rose up in her seat, and pointing with
her chubby finger at him, she said, in i'm
pressive tones:
