Anger manages everything badly.
Use sin as it viii uBe you; spare it not
Hear instruction and be wise, and re-
fuse it not.
Wherever the speech is corrupted the
mind is also.
A crowd always thinks with its SYM
pathy, never with its reason.
An angry man is again angry with
himself when he returns to reason.
Example is a dangerous lure; where
the wasp got through the gnat sticks fast.
If anger is not restrained, it is fire.
quently more hurtful to us than the in
jury that provokes it.
He submits himself to be seen through
a microscope, who suffers himself to be
caught in a passion.
It is lively spark of nobleness to de-
scend in most favor to one who is low
est in affection.
There is transcendent power in ex-
ample. We reform others unconscious
ly when we talk uprightly.
1t is good discretion not to make too
much of any man at the first; because
one cannot hold out that proportion.
There is this good in real evils, they
deliver rs while they last from the petty
despOtiSm of all that were imaginary.
4 helping word to one in trouble is
often like switch On a railroad track
but one inch between wreck and smooth
rolling prosperity.
Some people think black is the color
OF heaven, and that the more they can
make their faces look like midnight. the
more evidence they have of grace.

Thomas Hobson was born in 1914; he
was for sixty years carrier between
London and Cambridge conveying tc

to MS express business, he had livery

students. he made it a rule that all the
horses should have, according to their
ability, a proper division of work and
rest. they were taken out in regular
order, as they stood. beginning with the
one nearest the door, No choice was al
lowed, and if any Ian refused to take
the animal assigned him he might go
without any. That or none. Hence the
phrase sHObson's Choice"
In the spring of 1880, the plague broke
out in England. The colleges of Cam
bridge were closed, and among the pre-
cautions taken by the authorities to
avoid infection, HObson was forbidden
to 60 TO London.
He died in January, 1881, partly, it is

enforced leisure HobSon was one of
the wealthiest citizens of Cambridge.

to which he left several legacies His
death called forth many poems from
members of the University, officers and
students, among them two by the poet
Milton, then a student at Chfist's College.

JNFANTILE SKIN DISEASES,

Our eldest child, now six years of age when an
Infant six months old was attacked with virulent
malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies
failingwe called our family physician, who attempt
ed to cure it, but 1t spread with almost incredible
rapidly, until the lower portion of the little fel-
lows person, from the middle of the back down to
his knees,was one solid rash-ugly, painful blotcll-
ed. and malicious We had no rest at night, no
peace by day. Finally, we were advised to try the
Cutieura Remedies. The effect was simply mary
elOus. In three or four weeks complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as white
and healthy as though he had never been attacked
IN my opinion your valuable remedies saved his
life, and to-day he is strong, healthy child per
fectly well, no repetition having ever occurred
