of the soul acquire strength by the ex-

old people, who were almost 100 years
of age, moved away and went west,
where they would attract attention and
command respect. There was actually
no pleasure in getting old around where
Methuselah was and being ordered
about and scolded and kept in the back
ground by him.
So when at last he died, people sigh
ed and said: 'Well, it was better for
him to die before he got childish. 1t
was best that he should die at time
when he knew it all. We can't help
thinking what an acquisition Methuse-
lah will be on the evergreen shore when
he gets there, with all his ripe expert
ence and his habits of early rising
And the next morning after the flu
neral Methuselah's family did not get
out of bed till nearly 9 o'clock.

Long Confinement from Sickness.

Elizabeth Robinson Scouil, in Good Housekeeping.
When the sick person is confined to
bed for more than a few days, bed sores
are a danger that must be carefully
guarded against. They are most insid-
ious in their approach and often neither
patient or nurse is aware of anything
being wrong until the mischief is done.
In most cases they are easily prevented
but they are always very difficult to cure.
They appear most frequently on the
lower part of the back, particularly if
the sick person is in the habit of lying
on the back and seldom changing the
position. To prevent their formation
the back must be bathed twice day
with solution of tannic acid, alcohol,
brandy, or any spirit, to toughen the
skin, and when dry powdered with corn
starch, buckwhea. meal, pulvervized
common starch, or any absorbent pow
der. If this is done faithfully it will be
effectual. When the sufferer is very
thin the shoulder blades and elbows
should be frequently examined, and il
there is redness or chafng treat it in
the same way. If through neglect bed
sore has formed the part must be reliev.
ed from pressure by arranging two pill
lows on firm foundation so that the
sore will come in the space between
them. 1t must be washed by squeezing
tepid water over it from sponge ano
dressed with any healing ointment spread
on soft linen.

And she easily Travelled, with never pain;
Yet she loudly cried

When you laughed as you climbed up the hillside

The Ordinary Vest a Poor Lung
Protector.

Mr.. James Hess makes very sensi-
BILE suggestion, it seems to us, in the
Herald of Health, when he calls atten-
tion to the absurdity of our present Gu
rious habit of wearing cambric-back
vests, while the fronts are of heavy ma
terial and sometimes wadded, and urges
the propriety of protection for both
sides of the lungs. The habit, of course,
has grown from the belief that the outer
coat is sufficient protection for the back,
while the chest needs warmer covering
on account of the coat being open. But
it seems a disproval of the reasoning
that the first unpleasant sensations OF
chilliness are the so-called 'creepers'
running down the spine. Even when
the warmest wooden material is selected
for suiting, the tailor, unless otherwise
ordered, will invariably make the back
of the vest of some thin, flimsy material,
like camblic or silk, though he may
deem it advisable to pad the front with
cotton wadding. There is no proper
reason why the back of the vest should
be made so insufficient. The front may
be made uncomfortably thick and still
fail to protect the lungs, unless the back
is made equally thick and warm. In
front they are protected about five times
as much as in the back by clothing, ribs.
flesh, muscle and fat. In the back the
lungs almost come to the surface, and
therefore need more protection. Mr.
Hess asserts that it has been his custom
| for two years past, and many gentlemen
to whom he has mentioned the matter
have had their vests made with good
warm backs, and after winters tria
are quite enthusiastic over the change
They have passed through the entir
winter and spring without once takin,
cold, which is the best evidence in sup
port of the thick vest-back proposition
| that could be adduced.

Almost every day we are asked, "any news
in regard to the new railroad, I and we are
compelled to answer, nothing new" We do
know that an immense lot of interest is now
being taken by the people along the proposed
route from Marshall north, and also the one
from Marshall south along the old route of
the Mansfield q Coldwater road through Ohio.
Undoubtedly our people will be asked to con-
tribute further toward builing the road, but
we do not anticipate a very heavy drain on
their pockets, especially for the benefits that
will accrue for the completion Of the north
ern extension. Portland (Mich.) Observer.

last week met with such good encouragement
that they have extended its range, so that

gallery, as we are there every day and have
not seen any that claimed to be lost, although
there was one that came very near being lost
the other day, he undertook to dodge the
lightning process in order to get the hundr ed
dollars and he Topped himself over the back
grounds but we got his picture all the same
while he was going over, and when going to
see if he was lost, hurt or scared to death, we
was astonished to find him standing on one

eye, and crying for all that was in the other,

The school in Marion Township taught by
J. F. Kinstler, closed Aug. 4th. The exercises
of the scholars were grand, and well enjoyed
by the teacher, as well as by the visitors. The
same school was taught by P. P. Spangler,
last winter and he did his duty, as well as the
latter teacher, and have forwarded, impelled
from motive power within. Than the
question arises:
How can pupils mind that is being
dragged or pushed be SO awakened and
energized as to move forward impelled from
motive power within?
l.. BY encouraging parents to visit the
school-room. Least necessary but by no
means unimportant.
2. BY kind department toward pupils, by
ornamenting and making comfortable school
room and grounds, BY providing facilities for
pleasant and profitable out door exercises.
8. BY the power Of personal friendship.
Love Of the teacher will awake love for the
work OF the school-room. Hate and fear are
fatal foes to interest in study.

Serious Accident.

A little year old son of R. K. Skates, liv'
ing about five miles north of this place, met
with quite sad accident on the 22d of July.
He was at neighbors barn when boy who
was working on the farm, went up into the
hay-mow to get pitchfork, and in throwing
it down, accidentally struck little Henry, 'one
of the tines penetrating his head to the depth
of III inches, also entering the brain, causing
paralysis of his entire right side, for some
time. But he is now thought to be out OF
danger, and rapidly recovering under the
care of DR.. Harrison and loving friends.

Lots of Wheat.

We still hear glowing accounts of the big
wheat crop in Henry county this season-tht
yield averaging from twenty to forty bushel;
to the acre. Much of the grain yet remains
to be threshed, but large quantities are being
hauled to market daily. The crop is simply
immense, but our farmers don't intend il
should stop there. They expect to reap a
large crop every year, now that they have be-
come better acquainted with the soil of Henry
county and more fully understand the re-
qnirements necessary for wheat culture. Our
lands are as productive as any in the State,
and they only want to be cultivated rightly to
yield good profit.

then to add 115, then tell her to tell you the
