/. Moral fnanrm:c Of Flowers.

That the love OF flowers is
mark of social improvement no one
can for moment gain sag. There
is a humanizing influence in asso-
ciating with flowers that. where
ever it exists, cannot fail to be
productive of good. We are call
ing on u friend, % man of high
standing in the medical profession.
whose opinion was always well
worth his fee. We found him just
home from a hospital meeting, ag-
itated and vexed at something
that had gone wrong. He began
to speak, full of grievance, stopped
short after few minutes, rang the
bell and ordered his servant to
bring him a jug of cold water and
his scissors. Then spreading a
newspaper on his table, he collect
ed all the flowers that were in the
many vases in mis- room, cut their
stalks, gave them fresh water and
rearranged them. This done.-
"There, now" he said, 81 am all
right now. In the whole pharma-
copeia there's no better medicine
for nervous agitation than that,
nothing that sooner. gets rid OF
anger, malice, and allnncharitable
ness. with the physical ills that
are sure to attend them, than re-
arranging cut flowers" And who
that has tried it will deny that he
was right?
1t would he interesting to test
the moral Influence of association
with flowers by reference to the
statistics of crime. Such a refer
ence wonld naturally support the
same conclusion; and if so, this
prevailing taste for flowers would
seem, without doubt, to merit
every encouragement.

Cold Weather Rules.

A recent Issue of the Sanitarian
contains the following cold wealth
er rules:
Never lean with the back upon
anything that is cold.
Never begin journey until the
breakfast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and
then Immediately go out into the
cold.
Keep the back, especially be
tween the shoulder blades, well
covered; also the chest well pro
tected. In sleeping in Il cold room
establish a habit Of breathing
through the nose, and never with
the mouth open
Never go to bed with cold OF
damp feet.
Never omit regular bathing, for
unless the skin is in active condi-
tion the cold will close the pores
and favor congestion and othel
diseases.
After exercise of any kind, new
er ride in an open carriage or neal
the window of a car for a moment:
it Is dangerous TO health or even
life.
When hoarse, speak as little al
possible until the hoarsenrsS is
recovered from, else the voice may
be- permanently lost OF difficulties
of the throat be produced.
Merely warm the back nv the
fire, and never continue keeping
the back exposed TO the heat after
it has become comfortably warm
10 do otherwise is debilitatlng.
When going from a warm at
Tnosphere into a cooler one keer
the mouth closed, so that the all
may be warmed in It's passage
through the nose ere it reaches the
lungs.
Never stand still in cold wealth
er, especially after having taken {
slight degree Of exercise, and al
Ways avoid standingoni ice or snow
or where the person is exposed tc
cold wind.

How Fame is Achieved.

Hardly any one who has risen in
the smallest degree into pnbllc no
tice is ABOVE the harmless vanity
of telling the utterly obscure man
how fame is achieved or the foun-
dation stones Of even moderate
greatness laid. The millionaire
recalls his diligence as boy in
sweeping out the store on cold
wiuter mornings, the lawyer his
wonderful assiduity in copying pa
.pers and reading very early edi
tions of law books by the freight,
and the literary man the toll ex-
pended on his first verses and his
secret JOY at seeing them in the
epoet's corner' Of the country
newspaper. There is nothing
sweeter than the reflection that
ones career IS standing encour-
agement to the young and friend
less to be up aud doing with a
heart for every fate.-N. Y. Post.

It Saved Him Money.

Not long since, says a writer, /
dropped into a prominent newspa
per office, and, while chatting with
the editor, a well-to.do stock raiser
of that country dropped in and
planked down the necessaryamount
for two years. subscription in nd
vance for the paper, and at the
same time remarked:
II want the Gag on my paper to

my house, TIC let him see it. You
may believe me or not, but it is a
fact all the same," lie continued,
"that a little matter like that has
already saved me considerable
money; aud ore particular instance
l want to tell you about. II had
some dealings with a certain man,
SAID he, "and one day, while at his
house for the purpose of selling

the tag upon the margin that be

fact that a man would allow bis

after year, to such an extent, set
me to thinking, and | resolved that
should he ask me for credit-he
already owed me for fifty head Of
sheep would respectfully decline
his request. As had anticipated.
he did ask for time, which [ not
only refused him, but demanded
the amount already due ME. He

Industrial Careers.

The professions today are, indeed
overcrowded, and many of our
Young men are turning their backs
upon them for an Industrial career.
A gentleman prominently con.
nected with the Institute Of Tech
nology sai,l:-''Thele is a general
belief that young man who en-
tiers this or a similar school in
preference to receiving classical
education. sacrifices, for the sake
of practical knowledge, a mental
culture and development which he
could only get through u classical
education. Now, III my mind, this
is not at all so. I would send my
child to an industrial school in
preference to Harvard or Yale. if
my sole object was that lie should
simply get 1.-THE best possible men
tai training, irrespective Of any
use he might ever make of it. The
fact is, an industrial education
calls out the powers quite as much
as any other kind Of education. l
do not wish, since l have no incen-
tive in the first place, and it would
i'll become me In the second,to give
any opinion as to the desirability
of a classical as compared with an
industrial education, any more
than I have already given by say
ing that al industrial education
gives as high degree Of mental
discipline as can be got anywhere.
I mean to say that it is not my
place to declare that young. man
will stand better chance of get
ting a good living if he leads an
industrial career than he will If he
enters one of the learned profes.
sions. AS an attache-of an indus
trial school, this would be unbe.
coming in me, even if I felt quail
fec. to pasg Judgment upon This
point; which / do not since it lsnot
nv place to keep posted on the de
mand for young men in either OF
these two branches.
"If were thinking OF studying
law [ would not go to LAWYER for

devoted my life. The main thing
for young man deciding upon
his career is 10 he careful and
choose something for which he has
an aptitude. would rather a son
of mine would receive given
