INJURIOUS HELP.

An exchange, in protesting against
the habit of unduly aiding children,
says: "A girl that is never allowed
to sew, all OF whose clothes a.e made
for her and put on her until she is
ten, twelve, fifteen or eighteen years
of age, is spoiled. The mother has
spoiled her by doing everything for
her.
"The true idea of self.restraint is
to let the child venture. A child's
mistakes are often better than no
mistakes, because when q child
makes and has to correct them it is
on the way toward knowing some
thing.
"a child that is walked up every
morning, and never wakes himself
up; and is dressed, and never makes
mistakes in dressing himself; and is
washed, and never makes mistakes
about being clean; and is fed, and
has nothing TO do with his food;
and is watched, and never watches
himself; and is cared for, and kept
all day from doing wrong-such o
child might as well be tallow can
die, perfectly straight and solid, Land
comely, and unvitaI, and good for
nothing but to be burned up"

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach
are various, and statistics show con
clusively that more persons die from
disease of the Throat and Lungs
than any other. tits probable that
everyone, without exception, receives
vast numbers of Tubercle Germs in
to the system and where these germs
fall upon suitable soil they start in
to life and develop, at first slowly
and is shown by slight tickling
sensation in the throat and If allow
ed to continue their ravages they
extend to the lungs producing Con-
sumption and to the head, causing
Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous
and il allowed to proceed will in
time cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing
cold to go without attention is
dangerous and may lose your life.
AS soon as you foel that something
is wrong with your Throat, Lungs
or Nostrils, obtain a bottle of Bo-
schee's German Syrup. 1t will give
you immediate relief. Jy27-eow.

HINTS FOR YOUNG WOMEN

An exchange gives the following
rules to our young women:
Do be natural. A poor diamond
is better than good imitation.
Do try to be accurate. not only for
your own sake but for the sake of
your sex. The incapacity of the
female mind for accuracy is stan
dard argument against the equality
Of the sexes.
Do observe. The faculty Of oh
servation, well cultivated, makes
practical men and women.
Do try to be sensible; it is not u
particular sign Of superiority to talk
like q fool.
Do be ready in time for church !;
if you do not respect yourself sufli-
ciently to be punctual, respect the
feelings of other people.
Do avoid causes of irritation in
your family circle; reflect that home
is the place in which to be agreea-
bic.
Do be reticent; the world at large
has no interest in your private af-
fairs.
Do cultivate the habit of listening
to others; it will make you an in
valuable member of society, to say
nothing of the advantage it will be
to you when you marry; every man
likes To talk about himself; a good
listener makes a delightful wife.
Do be contented. Martyrs" are
detestable; cheerful, happy dispo
sition is infectious; you can carry it
about with you like sunny atmos-
phere.
Do avoid whispering; it is as bad
as giggling. Both are to be con-
dernned; there is no excuse for
either one of them. Ii you have any
thing to say, say it; if you have not,
hold your tongue altogether Silence
is golden.
Do be truthful; do avoid exag-
geration. If you mean a mile, say
u mile, not mile and a half II
you mean one, say one, and not q
dozen.
Do, sometimes at least, allow your
mother to know better than you do
She was educated before You were
born.

Don't Experiment.

You cannot afford to waste time
in experimenting when your lungs

seems, at first, only cold. Do not

you with some cheap imitation Of

sure you set the genuine. Because
he can make more profit he may tell
you he has something just az good,

SIZE AND IsrPREssIvENEss.
Chicago America.

| Senator Farwell, while explaining
the qualifications Of Mr.. Fuller for
the Chief. Jnsticeship to Senator
Edmunds, concluded by saying:
"The truth is, Senator, that the
only point you can make against
Mr.. Fuller is his size; If he were as
large man as you are you would
vote for him in o minute" Mr..
Edmunds laughed heartily. Senator
Farwell touched on fact OF great,
though curious iAterest-the init
mate relation between mind and mat
ter in the political world. In the
general run of cases man of large
frame has more health and vitality
than a small man, and, other things
being somewhere near equal, can
stand the wear and tear Of political
life better and survive it longer.
Samuel j. Tilden was certainly
remarkable exception, and so is Mr..
Evarts. Stephen A. Douglas was a
short man, but he was stocky, mus
cular man. Look at our recent
Presidents. Mp Cleveland is in
clined to what we call embonpoint.
but really his immense size is due
to his great frame, and not mere
adipose deposit; he is more remark
able for his girth Of chest than for
his waist measure Mr.. Arthur was
a man Of commanding height
and breadth. Garfield and Hayes
were large men. Lincoln was tall,
muscular man, conspicuous as a
young man for his ssuperior strength.
The majority of the Senators are
men Of 6 feet and 200 pounds. One
of the smallest of the Senators said
recently that he never had thought
much about his size at home; among
the lawyers and politicians Of his
own State he had never had his lack
of inches and pounds much impress
ed upon him. But, after being in
the Senate for a time, he felt over
whelmed by the size of his associ-
ates, his own confidence in himself,
never before shaken, was perceptibly
weakened by his inferior dimen-
sions. In the House the proportion
of understood men is larger, but the
wit and acumen of 'rhos. b. Reed
would be far less useful to himself
and his party if he were deprived OF
his great bulk and immense lungs,
and compelled to cover up his mind
as well as he could with body 8
feet 5 inches long and weighing l20
pounds.

There are four grand arguments
for the truth Of the Bible. The first,
the miracles un record; the second,
the prophecies; the third, the good
ness OF the doctrine, and the fourth,
the moral character Of the penman.
The miracles fow from divine power,
the prophecies from divine under
standing, the excellcnces Of the doc
trine from divine goodness. the char
acters Of the writer's from moral pu-
rity. Thus Christianity is built
upon these four immovabIe pillars
the power, the understanding, the
goodness and the purity of God
The Bible must be one Of these
things, either an invention of good
men or angels, or of bad men orbad
angels, or = revelation from God.
But it could not be the invention OF
good men or angels; for they neither
would nor could make book telling
lies, and at the same time saying.
thus saith the Lord" when they
knew ii to be all their own inyen-
tion. 1t could not be wicked men
or devils; for they could not make
book which commands all duty,
which forbids all sin, and which
condemns them to all eternity. The
conclusion is irresistible; the Bible
must be given by divine revelation.

she moved forward straight into the
gloom. Once she stumbled. and the
food rolled over her, but straight on
she passed with a percision seem
ingly supernatural. As she moved
she felt with her bruised and torn
feet in the soft ooze and the slime;
slowly and patiently, for she fancied
she could tread every foot of the
dark depths until the knife was
found.
But there is limit to human
progress in Black Ankle Swamp
and just as the spot was reached to
which she had calculated that her
strength could have hurled the
bloody weapon, the ground passed
from under her feet. Frantically
she clutched at a cypress knee to
draw back, when instantly sharp,
swift pain ran along her arm. She
had touched a snake, and he had
struck his fangs ints her clenched
hand She must pot loose her
hold; she did not. But her lips
opened and sent up one wild, frenz
led cry from that dreadful place.
30 my God %
But what was thatS There was no
serpent in her grasp; onlythe long,
keen blade of a knife, thrust into
the tender cypress. Ignorant. and
superstitious, her frame trembled
with terror; then the truth was up
on her. The weapon she had hurl-
ed out into the night had stuck
where it had struck; the splash was
the plunge of startled cooter.
She drew it from its rest and rush
ed from the place, as when a'brown
deer, the hounds pressing hard,
breaks through the swamp and the
cane and the treacherous ooze inso
the clear fields beyond.
But gone now fatigue The
woman passed the cabin, with its
crib and its memories, almost with
out knowing it. and took the road
back to the city. 1t would have
been as well to crouch there and
wait for the buggy or to have sought
the village, but wait she could not.
The fever was upon her; she must
move. So she ran cityward to meet
the gray-haired rescuer. Mile after
mile passed, hour after hour, and he
came not. Day broke and the sun
rose. A presence of mortal danger
was upon her, faintlyiat first, ter
ror at last; and mastering the fever
ed energy of her great struggle, it
slew her strength and hurled her by
the way side,--to lie with her hunt-
ed eyes fixed upon the tree-arched
lane overhead.
And thus she lay, an old man
riding flying gray horse rose in
the Swallowed light of the lane and
presently burst into the full sunlight
there before her. The laundering
feet of the animal were almost upon
her as she staggered dizzlly to her
feet and thrust upward the knife.
Wonder shone in the face of the
rider, as divining the truth, he
caught the weapon and passed swift
ly from her view. A smile came
over her wan face. "'En de valley
an de shadder,'" she whispered
feebly, then set her feet towards
home. Tired ? Yes, tired near un-
to death, but leaning upon rod
and staff that mortal vision could
not compass.

HINTS FOR YOUNG HOUSE
WIVES.

TO cure and heal running sore,
apply alum water twice day.
Let clothes that fade soak over
night in one ounce of sugar Of lead
in a pail Of water.
An excellent furniture polish is of
equal parts of shellac varnish, lin
seed oil and spirits Of wine.
Ceilings that have been smoked
with kerosene lamp should be
washed of with soda water.
For scald or burn, apply imme-
diately pulverized charcoal and oil.
Lamp oil will do, but linseei is bet
ter.
A snre and safe way to remove
grease spots from silk is to rub the
spot quickly with brown paper. The
friction will soon draw cut the
grease. q
A simple remedy for neuralgia is
to apply grated horseradish, pre-
pared the same as for table use, to
|. the temple when the face or head is
affected, or to the wrist when the
pain is in the arm or shoulder.
Papered walls are cleaned by be-
ing wiped down with flannel cloth
tied over broom or brush. Then
cut off thick piece Of stale bread
and rub down with this. Begin at
the top and go straight down.
For dyspepsia pour one quart of
cold water on two tablespoonful of
unslaked lime; let stand few min
utes, bottle and cork, and when
clear it is ready for use; put three
tablespoonfuls in q cup of milk and
drink any time, usually before meals.
Thick brown paper should be laid
under carpets, if the patent lining is
not to be had. 1t saves wear and
prevents the inroads of moths, which,
however, will seldom give trouble il
salt is sprinkled around the edges
when the carpet is laid.
A good wash to prevent the hair
from falling out is made with one
ounce of powdered borax, half an
ounce of powdered camphor, one at.
of boiling water. When cool. pour
into a bottle for use and clean the
head with it, apply with a flannel or
sponge once week.
There is scarcely an ache to which
children are subject SO hard to bear
and so dilHcult to cure as earache.
A remedy which never fails is q
pinch of black pepper gathered up
in bit of cotton batting wet in
sweet oil and inserted in the ear. 1t
will give immediate relief
There is nothing better for cut
than powdered rosin. Pound it un-
til fine, and put itln an empty. clean
pepper boz with perforated top; then
you can easily sift it out on the cut,
and put a soft cloth around the in
jured member, and wet it with cold
water once in while. II will pre-.
vent inflammation and soreness.
To cure felon, fill tumbler with
equal parts Of fine salt and ice; mix
well. Sink the finger in the centre,
and allow it to remain there until it |
is nearly frozen and numb; then
it, and when sensation Is
restored renew the operation four or
five times, when it will be found the |
disease is destroyed. This must be
done before pus is formed.
To make good sticking-plaster,
put two spoonfuls of balsam OF Peru
to six OF isinglass, melted with very
little water and strained. Mix these
we'll together in a small stone jar
over the fire. Pour out some black
Persian or sarcenet on a board, and,
dipping brush into the mixture,
pass it over the silk FIVE or six times;
then hold it to the fire. but not very
near, ard it will soon become black
and shining.
