One Lived, the Other Died.

A woman formerly our slave is now our
cook. About eighteen months ago she be-
came sickl y and had a cough and was con-
fined to bed, and it was thought that she
had consumption. The treatment by ply
sicians failed to give relief. In December,
1884, q node or knot the size of goose egg
formed just above the pit of the stomach.
which when lanced discharged matter for s
or months. One of these also formed
under her arm, and three OI her back,
which discharged matter for a considerable
time. For six months of this time she was
confined to the house. and most of the time
in bed. The stomach often refused food,
by rejecting what she had eaten. She used
great deal of medicine, but failed to be
cured. bought one bottle of your B. b.
b. (made in Atlanta. Ga. and gave it to
her and she commenced to improve. then
bought and gave her three bottles mdr>. pd
she continued to improve and in two
months time her cough had ceased, her
cOnsti utiOn strengthened, appetite and
digestion good. all discharges ceased. nodes
or knots disappeared and she went to work
apparently healthy and fattens 9greatly.
This woman had married 4er of near
sam, age who was affected in precisely the
same way and about the same time. She
had node or knot on pit of stomach. back,
etc. She did not take any B. Is. 2. and the
node on her stomach ate through to the
cavity. She continued on the decline and
wasted away, and finally died.
These were two terrible cases Of blood

How to Amuse Children.

While children are satiated with artificial
means Of amusements, the simplest and most
natural sources oil pleasure are often entirely
neglected For instance, a child brings in a
handful of field flowers; the mother says:
What litter you are making with that
rubbish; let's clear it all away, and play
with your pretty doll" What a source of
pleasure and instruction might have been
derived from examining the different colors,
the different shades of the same color and
the shape and texture Of the buds and leaves.

lost Of telling the child number of interest
ing and entertaining particulars respecting
the eyes, the feelers the thread spun by the
spider, the web, etc. And afterward, what
useful lessons might have been given, by ask
ing little questions in order TO lead the child
to repeat clearly the information it had re-
ceived, and TO accustom it to an accurate

A final form of rascality is found here as

on small or large scale. Girls are advertised
for ito learn the trade, and the usual army
of applicants appear, those who are selected
being told that the first week or two will b.

will be kept Each girl is thus on her msttle

the usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system. but on the con-
trary removes the cause of the trouble,
heals the parts affected and leaves them in
a purely healthy condition. A bottle kept
in the house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills

will convince you Of these facts. 1t Is pos

very sore; shoes which were comfortable
enough yesterday, are at least three sizes too
small to-day. IL the large toe joints remain
swollen for several weeks, they press against
the shoes and form very painful busions A
hot boraN water bath of half an hour with a
thorough rubbing with glycerine is good.
The feet should lie thoroughly dry (or well
dried and warm before the giycerine is ap-
piled, otherwise they will stay damp. Then
put on Old, loose stockings, cut off at the
ankles, and keep warm. A preparation made
of two ounces each Of glycerine and coal oil,
with one teaspoonful of carbolic acid, is said
to be good, applied with the hand twice day

Disease In Closed Houses.

Some Of the most eminent physicians Of
Montreal say that a great maDy women and
cllldren have D.sn aLLsCked after their re-
tCrl from their summer rests, whether at the
seaside or inland, with Uphold and malarial
fevers and diPhtheria There are many such
casee i'll which the patients are in imminent
peril at present. The origin of these diseases
is a mystery even t6 medical experts, as those
who are suffering reside in we'll severed and
properly ventilated houses. A prominent
surgeon, when asked his opinion Of tho cause
could attribute it to nothing but shutting up
the houses while the residents were absent
thereby making the interiors damp and IN
wholesome. Many parents have had the
affiiction Of losing children, some two or
three, by the fatal epidemic Of diphtheria,
which has never been 90 prevalent as this
year. Typhoid fever has also been greatly
on the increase. IL closed houses breed dis
ease, may not closed rooms in occupied
houses do the Samei There is no doubt of il !;
and these closed rooms may very frequently
give rise TO diseases Whose origin puzzles us.

Children cannot begin too young TO earn

dishes, or bringing in the wood or coal or
kindlings; 50 much for every towel they hem;

or care for their own calf along with the
other cattle-how much more interest they
will take! There are an infinite number of
ways in which a child can earn money, and
that, too, without paying him for his little
kindness to the home people, either; and then
he has an almost inexpressible feeling Of pride
and Independence when he buys something

A Curious Habit.

What we have principally to contend
against in children are little tricks, which
scarcely perceptible at first, gradually grow
until habit is formed which will prove not
only a great annoyance, but an evil that can
not be cured A case presents itself in my
experience in a shy and nervous girl who,
upon entering a room, always stood at the
door, and, pressing the end Of her little finger
to the woodwork, would twist and turn it
with a screwing motion for some seconds
The little popularity was allowed to pass un-
noticed. until now, a grown woman, with
little ones of her own, she cannot enter a
room nor face stranger without the prelim
mary of what must appear TO onlookers an
idiotic action. What notifications patient
care and watchfulness would have saved this
Unfortunate person are incalculable

An Old Fashioned Home.

There lives man within ten miles from
Boston whose love for the old takes a more
practical form than is commonly supposed to
exist in the present day. He has comforta-
ble home in the suburbs, but in it stove has
never been placed. The house is heated en-
tirsly by old fashioned fire places in each
room, and the gentleman claims that In the
coolest days in winter his home is warmer and
more comfortable than any Of the houses Of
bis neighbors, heated as they are by steam
Dr. hot air furnaces And further, all the
cooking for the family is done at one Of these
same open fire places, presumably in the same
manner as it was done at the hearths of our
fathers Of the last century. And the gentle
man sniffs his nose at food cooked by a stove
and maintains that the old fire place is far
superior, both for cooking and heating, to
amy of your new tangled notions. Boston
