Family Relic.

We all know with what pride, and even ten
derneSs, the father and mother OF a family of
tentimcs regard old pieces of furniture; a pic
ture; a piece ofcracked china, which TO Others
may seem useless. but which, tathem, is close
" identified with the dear old days whcn they

worthy of notice, came under the writer's OBJ
s~ervation n few days since. at Salina, Kansas +;
A family, in which 4 Davis Sewing Machine
had been in use for the last eighteen years,
were about to lose their firstoorn-a hand

ATTENTION TO SANITATION.

Within late years we have learned that
contagious diseases are vastly more cura-
BILE and less liable to spread, when treated
in shelter tents than in our homes or hos
pitfalls; and we are more and more caring
for the ventilation of our dwellings and
school houses and churches, preferring the
sunny side of our houses for sleeping
rooms.
We are building our cities with wider
streets, and providing access to clear sun
shine and pure air in extensive parks. We
are, moreover, demanding more scientific
and faithful plumbing, and looking out
better for the condition of our cellars. But
we have o reached the limit of what is
possible or desirable in this matter

KEEPING WARM.

As cold weather approaches, we set our
selves to solving the problem of how to
keep warm. A few simple rules may be
useful. Commence by a generous meat
breakfast. There is more warmth in one
ounce of cold meat than in a pint of hot
coffee. Cleanliness being essential to per-
SEPARATION, and free Precipitation being nee
essary to warmth, it is well that persons
should battle frequently in as cold water
as they can bear, without danger. Hot
liquors are fatal to warmth. A piece of
bread contains the elements of warmth in
a greater degree than a glass of beer. 1t
is impossible for persons who sit indoors
all day to remain warm more than 4 few
moments when they go out of doors. The
ladies who do their own marketing are
among the last people to complain of the
cold. Walk frequently, live moderately,
drink sparingly, and see that the house is
well ventilated, and the most rigorous
weather will have no deleterious effect upon
a person Of average health.

Never do anything to Brighten a child
before it goes to bed. Whatever punish
ment it may have incurred. do not select
the evening for its execution. To leave it
in its lonely crib in the dread silence and
darkness of a long night is cruelty which
may carry its poisonous fruit with it to the
end of life. How much misery has been
caused to delicate, nervous organizations
by ~tlloughtless aggravation of the inherent
dread of darkness and solitude no one can
say. None but the brightest and cheerful
est faneies should have a place in the minds
of the young, and if dreams do visit their
pillows, they will at least, it may be as
sured, partake of the same character. Then
the longest nights will be deprived Of their
terrors.

RELIGION IN POLITICS.

What's a mans religion for? Merely to
save his soul from hell? Something more
than that. For what does a soldier 60 to
the war? To come back safe? No; but to
fight until the enemy is subdued.
Religion in politics means a new and
better dispensation. 1t demands a state of
civilization in which men, women and
children shall be better prepared to die
and to live in the sweet hereafter. What
kind of a preparation for eternity are the
children of our saloon-cursed cities and
towns receiving? In most cases only that
which is calculated to turn boys into
drunkards and girls into prostitutes.
No religion in politics is like driving a
span of wild unbroken colts-no safety for
man or beast.
American voters, you cannot leave
Christ out of your duty as citizens with
out taking an awful risk. America was
the gift of God to the down-trodden and
oppressed. The blessing should be hand
ed down to posterity without a blemish.
ne sdioOu ~ tue uaTkest spob tidt HAS yet
cursed it. 1t exists by virtue of the votes
of the people. Take away by your votes
the legal sanction that gives it life, and s
give the boys and girls a chance to live
pure and useful lives.
When a majority of voters shall deter
mine to make it a part of their religion to
be Christ-like in the performance of the
duties of citizenship the saloons will be
banished. But not until that time, for
what the majority of the people vote for
they get.-George Il. Scott.

considerable activity in the divorce market,
severing the chains seeming to gall three
couples. Rosa Talbot was freed from

was cruel and Incorporate.
A similar decree was made In favor OF

cruelty and then deserted both her aud
their child. She is permitted to again
take her maiden name Of Mary Linkins and
have the custody Of their child.
