Kindness to Animals.

Everyone should know that kind
ly treated animals will do their best
for their owners. A curious case hap
pened recently which may be given
as an example. A noted trotter was
driven in a race by a driver. The
horse was evidently dissatisfied and
lost two heats. The old driver knew
the horse could do better and begged
the owner to be permitted to drive
him. His entreaties prevailed, and
when be mounted the sulky the horse
whinnied with pleasure, and won
the next three heats with ease, MAX
ing such a record that the owner had
an offer of fifteen thousand dollars for
the animal. 1t is always thus. A
farm horse kindly treated will do
more work than one which is not at
tached to the owner or driver. A
COW will lose milk when attended by
stranger or disagreeableperson, and
one that is petted or treated with
gentleness will everexhibt the COM
mon fractiousness Of kicking, or hold
ing up the milk. This is true of all
farm animals, who return Kindness
with affection and generosity, and
abundantly repay the consideration
shown them by their owners. Every
boy, especially every farmers boy,
should learn to treat all animals with
kindness.

Eating Tobacco.
Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution.

Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution.
A gentlemanin Athens commenced
the use Of tobacco at fourteen years of
age. When twenty-five years of age
theexcessive flow of saliva had caused
indigestion and structure, or constant
pain across the breast, threatening
life. Advised by an eminent physi-
clan he commenced swallowing all
the juice of the tobacco (call it by
what name you please and for forty
four years has persevered in the
habit. The pain ceased very soon,
digestion was restored, nerves be-
came steady, for the last twenty-five
years no headache, although he had
previously suffered greatly, has also
smoked all the time, and now, at
seventy-five, his nerves are steady,
and he can write as well asat twenty;
digestion perfect, vision good, knows
nothing of nausea, except in the dim
recollection of upward Of half CEN
fury ago, but has had no use for
doctor for upward of twenty-five
years, and if afflicted with softening
of the brain will not acknowledge it.
He knows of others who have adopt
ed this course with beneficial results
as far as health is concerned, without
injury, as far as he knows, mentally
or morally.
Now, the average reader would
suppose that the foregoing is merely
the invention of newspaper reporter,
but there are parallel cases right here
in Atlanta. One of the most distin-
guished citizens of the State in his
calling, has for years been in the hab-
it of eating tobacco instead of simply
chewing it. This gentlemanis sixty
odd years of age, and is in the most
robust health, with complexion as
clear as that OF an infant, ana an eye
as clear as that of a hawk. He has
none of the ailments of his age-no
pains, no aches, no indigestion. Nor
is this all. Sitting close at my elbow
as I write is a gentleman who has
been eating tobacco for thirteen years,
He is u young man and has led sed.
entary life for many years, taking
little or no exercise, and but little
recreation in any shape. But his
health is perfect. His digestion is
good, and his appetite just what he
would have it to be. He doesn't
know what a headache is, and the
only feeling of lassitude he ever ex
periences is when he drinks little
too much buttermilk for dinner.

Selfish Husbands and Exacting Wives

Good Housekeeping.
There have been selfish husbands
and exacting wives ever since there
were husbands and wives at all, and
there have also been and will con-
tinue to be couples who are truly one,
where, whether the wife earns money
or not, whatever they may possess
belongs as much to one as to the 9TH
er. Probably neither husband nor
wife is perfect. He has long ago
learned that she has her little tenn
pers and petulances; that her opin-
ionson many subjects differ radically
from his own; that she is very likely
governed by her feelings rather than
by her reason, but he loves her
through all. And on her part she
has found out that many things which
enlist her warmest feelings do not ap-
peal to him at all that he does not
care fig for her favorite poem, and
characterizes as ''bosh" the story
over which she has shed tears. And
yet she knows that no one else could
make him so happy, and in making
his happiness she finds her own.
And they love each other too well to
ever truly clash.

Going and Coming.

"Good-by, father" "Good-by, my
son God bless you''.
And the train starts, bearing the
boy away to college. The old man
watches it until it is out of sight, and
brushing away his tears turns to a
friend.
"There goes my boy to get an edu-
cation. l tell you, sir, something
to have a boy like thatP and the
happy father turns, and getting into
his wagon, which is standing near,
drives home.
A year has gone by, and the same
wagon is standing in the same place,
and the old man, with a raident face,
is waiting for the train which is to
bring his boy home. 1t comes puff
ing into the depot, and the boy steps
down.
"Hello, Gov'nor."
The old man says nothing; those
careless words and that careless tone
have struck him to the heart. Again
there are tears in his eyes, but he
does not say: 81 tell you, sir, it;
something to have a boy like that

An Allowance for Children.

Housekeeper.
Often the little folks beg for a few
pennies to spend when goingto town.
These they invest in candy, gum and
other sticky things, adding fire-craek-
ers and various explosives as time
wears on. Letting them have a little
money to use is not a bad thing, but
they should be taught to use some of
it in a useful manner, in order to
learn the value of it. Those parents
are wise who give their children a
small allowance, and then require
them to furnish themselves out of it
with certain necessary articles. Adj
wise them in their purchases, but let
them use their own judgment and
taste. of course they will make mis-
takes and use poor judgment some
times; but that is all right; better for
them to waste pennies now than dol
lars by and by. They will never
make precisely the same mistake
again; they will profit by every err
ror, and gradually become good
judges of articles, and financiers in a
small way.
This is quite as applicable to girls
as to boys. Upon women usually
falls the responsibility of purchasing
the household supplies, and mothers
should make it point to take their
daughters along frequently and in
struct them in prices, qualities, etc.
Then, when they have households OF
their own they will not foolishly
waste and suffer from poverty and
veXation of spirit.

A Model Sermon.

George Francis Train, the most
gifted crank in America, used to de-
liver q burlesque sermon from the
text "Why stand We here all the day
idle?" The style was something as
follows:
Firstly, my friends, why? why?
wherefore? for what purpose? give a
reason! Explain! Why? Why?
Secondly, why stand? Why stand?
Why not sit down? Why not lie
down? Why not walk? Wherefore
do We not run? Why stand? Why
stand?
Thirdly, Why stand YE? Why
don't somebody else stand? Why
don't your wife stand? Why don't
your father stand? Why don't your
mother stand? Why don't your
brothers, or your sisters, or your UNI
Giles, or your aunts stand? Why don't
your grandfatherstand? My friends,
why stand YE? Why stand YE?
Fourthly, Why stand We HERE?
Why don't you stand elsewhere?
Why stand in this particular place ?
Why not stand in the street, in the
fields, in the busy marts of commerce,
in the gilded palaces of sin? Who
stand We HERE?
Filthy, Why stand We here all the
DAY? Why don't we stand in the
night? Why stand in the light of
the MONDAY sun? Why not stand
mantled in the shadow of night ?
Why stand when all mankind is at
labor? Why not stsnd when all ma
ture is hushed in sweet repose =? Why
stand we here all the DAY?
Sixthly, Why stand We here all the
day IDLE? Why don't you 60 to
work? Why waste the precious
moments in sluggish inactivity? Be
active! Be stirring? Hump your.
selves! Loosen your joints and get
up and dust! Why stand we here
all the day idle?

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some af-
fiction of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. AT times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present., flatulency, UNI
easiness of the stomach, etc. A mois-
ture like perspiration, producing a
very disagraeeable itching, after get
ting warm, is a common attendant.

Remembering and Forgetting.

1t is good thing to be able to re-
member, but it is no less desirable to
be able to forget. Happiest among
men is he whose will exercises the
strongest control over his memory,
for he can bury his cares in oblivion
and record the pleasant incidents of
his life where "every day he turns
the leaf to read Them"
Some men can remember nothing.
Theirs is great misfortune, for ex-
perience is of no use to them. They
walk in darkness, minus the lamp by
which wiser feet are guided, and of
course stumble as they 60. There
are others whose forte tits to remem-
Der pleasureably all that good men
strive to dismiss from their recollec-
ton. Their minds are like filters,
which permit that which is pure and
excellent to run through them, but
retain whatever is coarse and nox-
ious. Their fund of immoral infor-
nation is inexhaustible; but of facts
which illustrate the best traits of hui
man nature, or the wisdom and be-
nevolence of its author, their memo
ries are bare. There is very large
class that cannot remember benefits
another that never forgets wrongs
In short, the specialities of memory
and forgetfulness are manifold.

Flowers.
William Roberts Penzance.

William Roberts Penzance.
Flowers-of all created things
are most simple and innocent, and
most suberbly complex; playthings
for children, and ornaments of the
grave. Flowers, beloved by the
wandering idiot and studied by the
deep-thinking man ofscience! Flow
ers that of perishing things are most
perishing, yet of all earthly things
are the most heavenly! Flowers,
that increasingly expand to heaven
their grateful and to man their cheer
full looks, partners of human joy,
smoothers of human sorrow; fit en-
blems ofthe victor's triumphs, of the
young brides bushes; welcome to
crowded halls, and graceful upon
solitary graves!
What dreary, desolate place would
be world without a flower! 1t
would be a face without a smile-a
feast without welcome. Are not
flowers, the stars of the earth, equal
to the stars of heaven? One cannot
look closely at the structure of a flow
er without loving it. The delicate
arrangement of the petals, and that
of the ovary, are all emblems of Gods
love to the creation, and they are
the means and ministrations of mans
love to his fellow creatures; for they
first awaken in his mind a sence OF
the beautiful and the good. They
lead us to thoughts of generosity and
moral beauty, detached from, and
superior to, all selfishness; so that
they are pretty lessons in Natures
book of instructions, teaching man
that he liveth not by bread alone OF
from bread alone, but that he hath
another than an animal life.

A New Milk.

Chicago and New York are to be
supplied with milk made from nitrate
of potash, glycerine, and other pleas
ing chemicals. The people of San
Francisco had been fed on this COM
pound for several months, and did
not find out the fact until a few days
ago, as the bogus article so much re-
sembles the genuine that only the
bottle-fed baby can detect the differ
ence; and unfortunately for the rest
of mankind, the baby cannot talk.
The shame of this sham is all the
greater because a physician furnished
the receipt.

Advice to a Young Man.

Burdette. .,..
Don't worry about something that
you think may happen tomorrow,
because you may die tonight, and to-
morrow will find you beyond the
reach of worry. Don't worry over a
thing that happened yesterday, be-
cause yesterday is hundred years
away. If you don't believe it, just
try to reach after it and bring it back.
Don't worry about anything that is
happening today, because today will
only last fifteen or twenty minutes.
If you don't believeit, tell your credi-
tors you'll be ready to settle in full
with them at sunset. Don't worry
about things you can't help, because
then there's no need to worry. Don't
worry at all. If you want to be a
penitent now and then, it won't hurt
you bit to go in the sackcloth and
ashes business little. 1t will do you
good. If you want to cry little
once in a long while, that isn't bad
thing. If you feel like going out and
clubbing yourself occasionally, 1
think you need it and will lend you
a helping hand at it, and put a plas-
ter on you afterward. All these
things will do you good. But worry,
worry, worry, fret, fret, fret-why,
there's neither sorrow, penitence,
strength, penance, reformation, hope
nor resolution in it. It's just worry
