Flash Literature.

Here is the story of another bit OF
mischief wrought by the dime novel.
In Connecticut village, recently, a
deputy sheriff discovered the lair of
three young brigands, from twelve to
fifteen years Of age, sons of respecta-
BILE parents. They had in an old log
hut library of thirty dime novels,
many fash sporting papers, pistols,
knives and other weapons and a large
quantity of articles that had been
stolen in the neighboring towns. The
boys were playing cards when caught
and demeaned themselves like the cow
boys of their favorite literature.
The only way to impress upon Gre
spectacle" parents the result of read
ling fash literature is to constantly
keep before the people the fruit the
tree bears. There are few homes in
New England where the seed has not
been sOwn, and wherever sOwn it is
sure to take root and bear fruit in a
greater or less degree.

Share Your Good Things.

Give Your friend share of your
good things. If you are at the break
fast table, and must read your daily
paper over your steak and coffee tit is
a bad habit at best,) cut it in two and
give half to your wife, and furnish a
magazine or juvenile to your children.
If you are reading in the evening, and
come to specially good bit, don't
laugh over it by yourself, but read it
to the rest of the family group, If you
are in the car, don't do as some very
gentlemanly looking men do, leave
your wife to her own meditations and
go over to talk for half an hour to a
friend. Give her a share of the friend
ly conversation. Loneliness in a
crowd is a sorrowful form of loneli-
ness and most sOrrOwful when the de-
serted one is left alone by friend or
old time lover, who ceased to be low
er when he became a husband. AL
ways give the other boy or girl at least
a bite out of the apple you are eating.

Acting Pastors.

In the recently published report of
the annual statistics of the Congre
gatiOnal churches in Vermont are fig
ures showing the tendency among the
churches of this denomination to en-
ploy "acting" pastors, in the place of
SETTLING" pastors in the good old
fashioned way. In this state there
are 1913 churches of this denomination
OF these but 80, a trife over one fourth
of the whole number, have regularly
asettled pastors 90 of the remaining
churches are with acting pastors, 30
with supplies" and 90 vacant. We
venture the opinion that the work of
the majority of the 90 acting pastors of
this denomination in the state would
be greatly enhanced were then people
to transfer them to the settled column.
pit sometimes pays to hire men to dig
post holes by the day, but it is poor
Judgment to hire a minister in the
same way. AS general rule if they
ARE good enough to be called, they are
good enough to be regularly settled.

DuDeS and Frauds.

About three years ago Mrs. Adelaide
r. Kenny, of Batavia, n. Y, daugh-
ter of the late Dean Richmond, was in
duced by representations of large
profits to be realized to send various
sums aggregating SlO,500, to a swind
ling firm in Wall street to be invested
in alleged pooling schemes. Soon af
ter Anthony COmstOck, who had learn
ed of the firms dealings, made COM
plant against them. and closed up the
business under the law which makes
it an offence to use the mails to defraud
another. He also procured an order
directing that the postmaster send
their letters to the Dead Letter Office.
Mrs. Kenny brought an action in the
Supreme Court against George A.
Chandler and Edwin A. Weed, assert
ing that they were parties to the fraud
ulent schemes. Both defendants were
arrested in 1888 and were released on
bail. The suit was tried before Judge
Peckham and jury. Anthony Com
stock was the chief witness upon the
trial. 1t was shown that the firm sent
out circulars describing the glories of
Wall street and the fortunes there to
be made, and representing that one
man upon an investment of S25 had
increased it to 1925 in one week.
These circulars induced unsuspecting
people to invest their savings. Soon
afterward they would be Informed
that there so much to their credit upon
the books of the firm, but that fur
Their amount was necessary to form a
grand pool which would net large
profits. Further sums would be sent
to the firm, until the startling Informal
ton came from the brokers that every
thing was complete loss, owing to a
turn in the stock market. The jury

Let 1t Rest.

Let it rest! All! how many hearts
on the brink of anxiety and disquiet-
ude by this simple sentence have been
made calm and happy!
Some proceeding has wounded US by
its want of tact; let it rest; no one will
think of it again.
A harsh or unjust sentence irritates
us; let it rest; whoever may have given
vent to it will be pleased to see it is
forgotten.
A painful scandal is about to es-
TRANCE us from an old friend; let it rest,
and thus preserve our charity and
peace of mind.
A suspicious look is on the point of
cooling our Affection; let it rest, and
our look of trust will restore conf
dence.
Fancy we who are so careful to re-
move the briars from our path way, for
fear they should wound, yet take pleas
ure in collecting and piercing our
hearts with the thorns that meet us in
our daily intercourse with one another.
How childish and unreasonable we are!

MAY CHILDREN GO BAREFooTq

This question is every now ant
again proposed for discussion; and
when it is so, we are compelled to give
the same answer. On physiological
grounds it is manifestly II sound prac-
tice to accustom children to develol
the circulatory aud muscular system o
the lower extremities, precisely al
those of the hand are developed, by
free use and exposure. 1t is not sup
posed to be either necessary or desir-
able that children should wear gloves
for hygienic purposes. When the
hands of little folk are thus decorated,
the parental idea is confessediy TO give
them what is conventiOnally regarded
as a genteel appearance. No one
thinks child ought to be protected
from the weather so far as its hands
are concerned. On the contrary, it is
recognized that the upper extremities
should he kept warm by exercise and
habitual exposure.
Precisely the same view holds good
with regard to the lower extremities.
even more than the earth abstracts it,
is an almost constant condition of child
life. In short, it is entirely in defer
ciety that children wear foot cover
ings. There is much To he said in ia
vOr of Il more natural practice. The
foot is an organ of wOnderOus complex
ity, regarded as bony and muscular
apparatus. 1t is, moreover, provided
with nerves and blood vessels of es-
pecial intricacy. The sOftest and most
flexible shoe, to a very great extent,
and boot almost entirely, reduces
this organ to the character of a jointed
block with little self movement. OBJ
viOusly this reduction must detract not
only from the efficiency of the foot, but
the organism as a whole. If the blood
vessels of the foot and leg are fully de-
veloped, as they can only be when the
foot is habitually exposed, the quanti-
ty of blood which the lower extremi-
ties can be made to receive, and, if
need be, attract for a time, is very con-
siderable.
We can only say that children who
are allowed to go barefOOted enjoy al
most perfect immunity from the dan
ger of "cold" by accidental chilling of
the feet, and they are altogether
healthier and happier than those who,
in obedience to the usages of social
life, have their lower extremities per-
manently invaded, and, so to say,
carefully swathed and put away in rig
id cases. As regards the poorer class
es of children, there can be no sort of
doubt in the mind of any one that it is
better that they should
go barefoOted than wear boots that let
in the wet and stockings that are near
ly always damp and foul.

Variety In Food.

Some sensible remarks are made in
the American Agriculturist by Lucy r,
Fleming on the desirability of a varie-
ty in food. There is far too much mo-
nOtOny in the meals of most house
holds. The writer mentioned says
"Often sickly, waning appetite can
be stimulated by some exceedingly
simple change in the commOnest arti-
cles of daily food. Slices of dry bread
are uninviting; but the same bread,
lightly Drowned, with a delicately
poached egg resting in the crisp toast,
becomes altogether another item in the
bill of fare. Cold beef or mutton have
become standard dishes for washday
or other slim dinners. But an accom-
paniment of pickles for the one, and
jelly for the other, makes all the differ
ence in the world between tasteful and
bald utilitarian housekeeping. Oat-
breakfast dish, yet it is well to Occa-
siOnally substitute in it's place berries
or other fruit, or even a change to
Pearl hOminy, or cracked wheat, or
corn meal mush. | know there are
pare potatoes, and should not be sur
prised to learn that there may be fifty,
yet how few are the tables, especially
in the country, where one sees this
vegetable except in the stereotyped
boiled whole, mashed or fried. A
great variety of delightful dishes can
he made with apples at all seasons of
the year, whether one has fresh or
canned fruit. Breakfast, dinner or tea
need not lack healthful relish if one
has dozen or so of apples within
reach. | do not enumerate the host of
what are known as made dishes,
which can be so quickly and easily
out of remnants. l know it
is " Orth the trouble to set on the fam
lily table-nOt courses of elaborate
a wholesome, agreeable
and yet economical diversity of food"

Favorite Hymns and Tunes.

An attempt was recently made in
London to ascertain what were the
popular favorites in hymns and tunes,
lawyers, merchants mechan-
les, and others being requested to name
six favOrite hymns and tunes. One
hundred persons sent replies, and POI
hymns were named, of which 1l2 had
only one vote each. The six having the
highest number of votes each were:
'Jesus, lover of my soul" Sc; Crock of
Ages" %; "Nearer, my God, to Thee"
25; "My Jesus, as thou wilt" 81;
"Abide with me-" 20; "Just as am, :"
10. OF tunes, l44 were named, of which
II had only single vote each. The
six highest on the list were Refuge, 35;
Lux Benigna, 16; Jewett, IL; Eventide,
IL; TOplady, 10; Mercy, IL.
