THE BEAUTY OF SIMPLICITY.-NeXt to
suitability, say, let there be simplicity.
John Newton, giving advice to lady, said: {:
MADAM, so dress and so conduct yourself
that persons who have been in your COM
pany shall not recollect what you had on"
That counsel, if followed, would lead to
quite different style of dress from which
it is far too prevalent now. Simplicity
seems banished, and we are forcibly re-
minded of the description given by Isaiah
of the attire of women in Jerusalem in his
days. The description is given in the third
chapter of his Prophecies. There is pref
ry fable of the angel and the rosebud WHICH
conveys the very lesson am now seeking
to enforce. 1t is said that "the angel who
takes care of the flowers and sprinkles upon
them dew in the still night, slumbered on
a spring day in the shade of a rosebush.
When he awoke he said, Most beautiful Of
my children, thank thee for thy refresh
ing odor and cooling breeze. Could you
now ask any favor, how willingly would
grant itn 'Adorn me, then, with new
charm said the spirit of the rosebud in a
beseeching tone So the angel adorned the
loveliest of flowers with simple moss.
Sweetly it stood there in it's modest attire,
the moss-rose, the most beautiful of its kind.
So the costliest ornaments are often the
simplest; and it will be generally found
that simplicity characterizes the highest
refinement. Hence, never allow fashion to
triumph over your common sense or good
taste. Do not comply with the reigning
modes at the expense of simplicity and
suitability.-The Quiver.

LATE SEEDING WITH TIMoTHY.-If the
surface is in fine tilth, timothy seed may be
sown almost until time for freezing up of the
ground. 1t will be covered sufficiently by
freezing and thawing of the soil in win
ter and without injury to the seed. 1t is
much more hardy than clover or any kind
of grain. But this late-sown timothy will
not be forward enough to cut next season.
With winter grain crop this is an advan-
tage, as in too large a growth of grass the
grain is often injured.

AN EARTHQUAKE CoUNTRY.-In some
sections of South America earthquakes are
of such frequent occurrence as to excite very
little emotion, except on the part of the
earth itself. 1t is needless to remark that
the inhabitants do not live in fourteen-story
flats. Anything higher than one-story flat
would find itself flat on the ground after a
count on having an earthquake about once
week throughout the year. If whole
month went oy without terrestrial trelnOr
people WoulC become alarmed. They would
fear that something was going to happen.
There is another advantage enjoyed by
the inhabitants of an earthquake region
that are unknown anywhere else-vOlca-
noes. Beside the old-established volcanoes
that have been doing business in the same
place from time immemorial, there are new
ones continually cropping out to instruct
and amuse the young. They startu some
times in the most unexpected places, which
makes it little inconvenient occasionally.
After man has got his farm paid for and
in good state of cultivation, he doesn't
like to have volcano come along and stake
out claim on the same property.
Map making is a fourishing business
there. The formation of the country chang
es SO often that different map is required
very frequently. Last years map is of no
use at all, owing to the new volcanoes and
the elevations and depressions Of large
tracts Of territory that are continually going
on. An enterprising publisher can effect 4
change in school books almost every winter,
without being compelled to pay share of
his profits to the teachers and trustees. SO
you see there are cOmpensations attending
almost every place of human habitation.-

SEEDING WITH GRASS ALoNE.-Where
grass is the most profitable crop, as it NAV
be in favorable localities, the general desire
to get good seeding makes other crops sub.
ordinate. This has led to sowing grass seed
without grain. 1t should always be done in
the fall, and the earlier the better, provided
the seed is not hurried in without due prep
aration of the soil. But nearly as good
seeding may be had with wheat where
phosphate is drilled in with the grain

surface and the brain and most of it has
gravitated to the abdominal cavity. The
effect for the moment is the same as if it
had left the body by way of a severed ar
terry. AS some one has said, when a man is
killed by "shock" he has "bled to death
into his own VEINS" When blood is thus
withdrawn from the brain, the heart no
longer receives the nervous force necessary
for it to continue beating. The lungs are
in a similar starved condition and the
breathing is interfered with or stops alto
gether. All this, because the nerves whose
duty it is to keep the blood vessels OF the
abnormal cavity in a state of partial con-
traction are paralyzed and can no longer do
their work. Minor degrees of shock are ia
miliarly known as fainting attacks.-Cor.

DIETETIC FALLACIEs.-1. That there is
any nutriment in beef tea made from ex-
tracts. There is none whatever.
2. That gelatin is nutritious. 1t will not
keep a eat alive. Beef tea and gelatine,
however, possess certain n repalative pow
er, we know not what.
8. That an egg is equal to a pound OF
meat, and that every sick person can eat
eggs Many, especially those of nervous or
bilious temperament, cannot eat them; and
to such eggs are injurious.
4. That, because milk is an important
article of food, it must be forced upon pa
tient. Food that person cannot endure
will not cure.
S. The arrowroot is nutritious. 1t is
simply starch and water, useful as restOra-
tive, quickly prepared.
6. That cheese is Injurious in all cases.
1t is, rule, contra-indicated, being usual
ly indigestible but it is concentrated nutri-
ment, and waste repairer, often craved.
7. That the cravings of patient are

ach often needs, Graves for, and digests, ar

are, for example, fruit, pickles, jams, cake,
ham or bacon, cheese, butter and milk.
8. That an inaexble diet may be mark

Choice of given list of articles allowable
in a given case must be decided by the
opinion of the stomach. The stomach is

A diet which would keep healthy man
healthy might kill sick man; and diet

DISHONESTY BEGINS AT HoME.-The
crying sin of the day is dishonesty. One
hears so much of it in public life; but as we
have said before, there is too much of it al
together in private life. And its causes are
to be found in the want OF self-cOntrol in the
indulgence of tastes and appetites. Reck.
less, extravagant living is at the bottom of
it all. If this Lying had any true founda-
tion in any hearty desire for any desirable
things, there would be more hope of amend
ment. But when one comes to see what
things ill-gotten gains are spent upon, the
outlook is a sad one. Dress, display, amuse-
that it may be wasted foolishly these are
The signs of time which it is not pleasant
TO contemplate.
If man loves any one thing, say rare
books, or pictures, or objects of art of any
kind, or music, or SCIENCE. so we'll that for
the sake of one thing in which he would be
rich, he is willing to be poor in everything
else, no matter though his choice be an un-
wise one, according to the best standards of
choice, he will yet have a motive which
will help to keep him upright. But for those
who love none of these things, but simply
desire them because it is the habit of the
sine because, like pampered children, they
must needs cry for whatsoever they see just
out of their reach, for them is needed the
wholesome self-discipline which shall teach
them to let alone whatever is not theirs.
And the beginning of this self-discipline
is in the home. Parents must teach their
boys and girls the great lesson of doing
without whatever cannot be fitly theirs.
There need be no niggardly restraint, but in
some way the first lesson for childhood
should he that of earning its pleasures. To
get whatever it Graves as soon as it asks for
it, is the worst training child can have.
