Training Children.

One would naturally suppose that the
care of children would be the first
thought of the parents, whereas in many
cases 1t seems as IL the first thought were
rather to escape that burden-although
the responsibility may never be shirked
without penalty-delegating it to hired
and Indifferent hands and heads, often
ignorant, often incompetent, without re-
aecting that it demands not only the love
and Tenderness such as no alien can fur
nish, but that the wisest mind Is not too
wise for the task, nor the most cultured
intellect too we'll trained or too brilliant
to cope with the subject, to fit the human
soul for Its sphere aud its work, for de.
yelopment of its trauscendent powers.
The person who on engaging nursery.

neither he nor his "wifs knew anything
about the care of children, nor did they
wish to know" only frankly acknowI-
edged the deplorable condition Of mind
Of many, and certainly had no business

his hearth.
One wonders if he treated any other of
his possessions with such unconcern.
Those who regard their children as their
chief occupation in life, and who lore
that occupation, can hardly understand
the state of mind of mothers who accept
every excuse for turning them off upon

the dangers they may meet from the

are too narrow to appreciate the self

Of women, old fogies with domestic pro.

People take infinite care of their

too often leave their children, their most
valuable possessions. upon whose welfare

the power to dictate what these Impress

Cure for Felon.

The following from DR.. G. @. Gratiol,
NJ: D., St. Louis, will be hailed with
delight by that class of citizens who may
be suffering from that fearfully painful
horror, felon, if it should prove
to be what 1t claims to be, cure for
felon:
One day in July, 1883, after returning
from a call in the country, I found a
gentleman voting in my office to consult
me about felon that was giving him
great pain, upon the index finger Of the
left hand. While waiting for me he had
picked up one of my medical Journals
and real an article entitled, .'How to
Cure Felon." My patient asked me to
try It on him. I advised him to let me
make free incision down to the bone.
believing 1t the only course to pursue that
amounted to anything in the treatment
Of paronychia. AS he was little timid.
and insisted on my trying the other plan,
consented. The mode of treatment is
this, and quote the writer's own words !:
"Take common salt, roasted on O hot
stove until all the chlorine gas is thrown
of, or it is as dry az you can make It..
Take a teaspoonfull of pulverized CASTLE
soap, and o teaspoonfull of Venice tur-
pentine, mix them we'll into poultice
and apply on the felon. If you have
ten felons at once, make rs many poulti.
ces. Renew this poultice twice o day.
In four or five days your felon will, if not
opened before your poultice is first put
on, present hole down to the bone,
where the pent up matter was before
your poultice brought 1t ont. If the felon
has been cut open or opened itself, or is
about to take off tie finger to the first
joint, no matter, put on your poultice !; it
will stop right there, aud in time your
Is gone. OF course It will not restore the
lost bone, but It will get we'll soon."
So far as my faith went In the treat.
mont Of felon in that way, I never
would have tried 1t. My patient came
back to me 10 four days, with pain and
throbbing all gone, and with no tender.
ness or swelling. Upon removing the
poultice, there was round hole down TO
the bone, discharging bloody, thick pus,
such as have sometimes seen comiug
from acute ulcers. He stated that after
the frat application of the poultice,
about eight hours after he left my office.
he suffered no more pain In three days
more he was almost entirely we'll. This
induced me 10 determine to try it on
other felons that I might be called upon
70 treat and from July until the middle
Of October great many felons occurred
among. the farmers, caused by the fire..
quent handling Of pitchforks In making
hay and in stacking and threshing grain.
Suffice It to say tried It on seven cases
of felon, and 1t never once failed me. II
Is sitnple In preparation, and the soap
and salt are always at hand, which with
few cents worth of Venice turpentine
will make many poultices. The case Ia
which used IL got we'll more rapidly
and suffered less pain, and the finger
regained Its normal condition more
quickly than after ;ncision or any mode
OF treatment had ever previously adop.

The Deeply Credulous Creatures to Be
Found Among the Lower Glasses.
There is no more deeply credulous
being than the French-C Canadian of the
lower classes. Whatever mental life
he has is still the life of a little child
standing in the morning of the world.
The age of faith has not ceased with
him. That there should be places
made holy by beatific visions, that relics
should work miracles, that all sorts of
local saints should have power to bless
and all sorts of local devils power to
curse, are to him among the deepest
facts of life. Such beliefs are so
wrought into his thoughts that he never
can get outside their grasp. These
come to him naturally from his religion,
but he is full of superstitions besides
His churchyard is alive with ghosts
He easily credits any supernatural
story. And Pierre was no freer from
such ideas than were others. One OF
his most lasting memories was of a lit
tie sister of his who for long time had
always been dressed in blue, in fulfill
ment of VOW to the Virgin. She had
been very ill. and his mother-the dear
old ma'aan who was now dead-had
vowed to the Holy Mother, if she would
but cause the child to recover, to dress
her in this her favorite color for three
years. There were many other in
stances of the same kind among the
neighbors; indeed. it would not be too
much to say that there was hardly one
of them but could tell some tale which
was not of this world.-R. Maclray, in

Does Fish Make Brains?

A noted English physician has re-

brain food. He Knows no more
about it than Mark Twain, who gave
the following advice to young au-
thor: Yes, fish makes brain. Judg-
ing from your previous articles. you
need, couple of whales-not the
largest, but good, middling-sized
whales" Once let the belief become
general that fish makes brain, and the
demand for fish will be so great that
before long the fish would become an
extinct animal. and then what would
we do for vacation? No, it's great
mistake. Neither fish nor any other
food can supply the great natural de-
ticiency of cerebral tissue which af-
tlicts the modern man.-Medical Age.

but he was in the prime OF middle age.
He was not boyishly handsome, like
the wax heads May had seen in the
BARRIERS show-windows. but he had the
port and mien of a prince. All women
are prone to hero worship, and our lit
tie May was no exception to the ordi-
nary rule. For the first time in her
life she was falling in love-and with
her own husband.
A few weeks only had elapsed when
crisis in the banking business had
rendered it imperatively necessary that
Mr.. Harriott should 90 to Vienna for
two or three months. Poor May looked
aghast as her husband mentioned his
intentions to her in the same cool,
matter-of-fact way in which he might
have criticised the weather.
''Going to Viennar she gasped.

''But-I may 60 with you?"
''You? My dear, don't think Of it.
My travel will necessarily be too rapid
to think of remembering myself with a
lady companion. must go and come
with the greatest speed"
May said nothing more, but there was
blur before her eyes, sickening SEN
sation of despair at her heart. He cared
no more for the society which had been
dear to him once. Oh, what had she
done to forfeit the love that had once
been poured out SO fondly on her life?
1t was rainy June twilight when
the banker, wrapped in a dreadnaught
coat and with his travelling cap pulled
down over his eyes paced up and down
the deck of the steamer Galatea, heed
less of all the tumult of weighing an
Choir. Through the misty dusk he tried
vainly to catch the ghostly outlines of
the city spires-the city that held his
young wife.
''She will be happy enough without
me-" he told himself, bitterly. "She
has her mother and sister with her
She babe me adieu without a tear, and
it may be that my continued absence
will teach her to think less coldly of
me. Dear little May sweet spring
blossom-my prayers may reach you, if
my love can not"
And as the steamer plowed her way
onward and the darkness deepened
Frederick Harriott went below.
To his infinite surprise the state
room he had engaged for his own be-
half and use was not empty. A lady
sat there with yelled face and dropping
head. Frederick Harriott paused in
surprise-the figure rose up, and throw
ing aside its veil revealed the blue,
starry eyes and pale cheek of May her
self.
''Oh, Frederick, pardon met she

"but l could not let you go alone! l

With searching, anxious features
A-di weak uncertain pace,

With no desire to catch

Beneath the same great sun:

But not content to snatch
