The Wrong and Right Way.

How parents provoke their children
by unreasonable commands, by per-
petual restriction, by capricious jerks
at the bride, alternating with as
capricious dropping the reins alto
gether; by not governing their own
tempers; by shrill or stern tones where
quiet, soft ones would do; by frequent
checks and rebukes and sparing praise
And what is sure to follow such mis-
treatment by father or mother? Bursts
of temper, for which the child is pun
ished and the parent is guilty, and
then spiritless, listlessness and apathy.
81 can not please him, whatever do"
leads us to ranking sense of injustice,
and then to recklessness-''i is useless
to try any more" And when man
or child loses heart there will be no
more obedience. Many parent,
especially many a father, drives his
child into evil by keeping him at a
distance. He should make his boy a
companion and playmate, teach him to
think of his father as his confident,
try to keep his child nearer to himself
than any body else, and then his au-
thority will be absolute, his opinion
an oracle, and his lightest wish a law

The Rights of Other People.

Too commonly the fact is ignored
that a mans opinions and convictions
are his private personal matter, with
which no one else has the right to
NEEDLE.
In politics, the spending of money,
in social life, in dress and education,
each one should scrupulously avoid
acting as censor of others who may
differ with himself.
No one is privileged while guest
to attack the opinions of the family
whose hospitality he enjoys. When,
for any reason, he cannot acquiesce in
the family regulations let him depart
and not try to reform the family to
his standard of propriety.
A man may believe in homeopathy
to the highest dilution, but that
belief does not entitle him to the
privilege Of calling his neighbor to
account because he chooses to seek
relief by means of mercury and
quinine in as heroic doses as he may
fancy.
BY calm, personal arguments or by
the force of example one may try to
convince another that his way is the
better, but a true courtesy requires
that he shall not unasked present his
opinions where to do so will wound
and not alter in the slightest degree
the course of his opponent.
Let no person fiatter himself that
because a man is loud of voice and
blunt in speech, ever ready with
cruel judgment of others and free
with advice on all matters, that he
will pleasantly accept such treatment
from others, for he is quite as likely
to resent interference with his affairs
as the man of gentler speech and
greater charity.
1t is so easy to form the habit of
medicines, and to persuade ones
self into the belief that ones mission
is to be ''private investigator and
public adviser" that one is apt to
forget that in the regulation of ones
own conduct life presents enough
perplexing problems without tres
passing upon the rights of others in a
mistaken zeal to convert them to a
better way.

The Happiest Woman.

Somebody asked me the other day,
says Bah in the New York Star, who
were the happiest women and I've
been thinking it over ever since. The
conclusion | have come to is that she
is the happiest woman who is not too
handsome. / don't mean that she
shall be disagreeable looking, and
she must have a certain charm Of
manner, but by her lack of beauty
she can keep the lovliest women
friends and no jealousy arises, while
she is always pleasant companion.
The woman who is not great beauty
does not need to anticipate growing
old with that horror that must come
to her who knows that it means the
loss of her great attraction. | have
always made thanksgiving every
night that providence arranged that
/ should be born south of Mason and
Dixon's line, but now add to my
thanks the fact that nature did not
make me beautiful. One can only
feel this way after one has become
how old? The woman without
beauty is going to try to be something
else, for in the heart of every woman
figure without Roman lines and a
caliope voice there is a desire to be
considered the incest in the world by
somebody. And if the woman is
worth penny, she prefers that some
body to be a man.

Bees Hurt Our Trade.
New York Mail and Express.

New York Mail and Express.
The bee industry is very large
one in this country. Thousands of
persons are employed all the year
round in tending to these little in
sects and collecting their honey to
supply the wants of those who have
a sweet tooth. California is the state
where this industry thrives most and
there it pays very well. The honey
is collected at certain seasons of the
year, placed in Jars and shipped all
over the world. The New Zealand
ers and Australians, until lately, have
had to import all their honey and
large orders have been filled by Cali
fornia merchants. Now they gather
their own honey. Until within few
years they had no bees in New Zeal
and. They were taken there almost
by an accident. Red clover had to
be annually imported from Germany,
because it did not ripen there suffi-
GENTLY to yield seed for reproduction.
This was explained by the absence of
those fructifying insects which it is
well known contribute so much in
this country to the propagation Of
many kinds of plants. Three years
ago parcel of 100 wild bees were
sent from England and set free in the
neighborhood of Lyttleton. They
have multiplied greatly and have
spread all over the island. Now the
farmers gather and make use of the
clover seed from their own fields and
also gather the honey. Thus the
busy little bee is destroying Ameri.
can and German trade.

Courtesy in Business.

The other day a gentleman entered
one of the largest stores of Cincinnati
in pursuit of an article the price of
which he knew would scarcely exceed
the cost of postage on an ounce letter.
The fact of its insignifcance and that
it was rarely called for made it hard
to find. One clerk after another was
enlisted in the search, till finally
they were joined by the proprietor
before success crowned their efforts.
Somewhat mortified at the amount
of trouble he had caused, the custom
er began to apologize, when lhe was
silenced by the proprietor, with,
"My friend it was no trouble; it was
business. We have experienced full
as much pleasure in finding that for
you as you have in receiving it. If
you insist upon calling this trouble,
please remember that we like to be
troubled"
That merchant made an invest
ment by his courtesy. He laid up
treasures where moth and rust doth
not corrupt, and it wasn't laid up in
Heaven, either. He secured the
patronage of a man, though he did
not know it, who sometimes makes
purchases that are worth the while.
Without intending it, he cast some
bread upon the waters.

Whisky not an Antidote to Rattle.
snake Poison.
Medical Journal.

Medical Journal.
DIR. A. Il. Hudson, of Stockton,
CAL, writes: "Having often seen the
statement made in the public press,
and sometimes in medical journals,
that whiskey and ammonia were the
acknowledged antidotes to rattle
snake bite, l feel it duty to admin
lister a corrective to the above falla-
cious teaching. About thirty years
ago Professor Weir Mitchell, of Phil
adelphia, spent over two years in
carefully experimenting with the
virus of snake poisons. Taking a
few drops of the pure virus from the
sac of the snake, he mixed it consecu-
lively with alcohol, ammonia, iodine,
bromide, mercury, and other reputed
antidotes, then Injected the solution
ofeach into birds, rabbits, dogs, goats,
and other animals-When he found
that the poison was not altered in its
power, but would produce its specific
toxic effect just the same as when it
was undiluted. He found also that
the virus was fatal only to a certain
extent, that is, if it took half a drop
to kill an animal of thirty pounds
weight, it would require one to two
drops to kill one of sixty to eighty
pounds. Its action is immediate, and
it kills only when the animal is toe
small and weak in resistive vitality.
1t is rare that an adult person dies
from the bite of a rattlesnake. The
virus of the cobra is more intense and
fatal. Several years ago prominent
minister in Philadelphia died from
the bite of a young cobra. AS a Civ.
en- quantity Of the rattlesnake virus is
necessary to overcome a certain
amount of physical force, it is seldom
that such quantity is ever deposited
by the snake bite upon an adult per.
son. If a large snake should bite q
goat of fifty pounds weight, and soon
after bite two children of about the
same weight, the goat might die, but
the children would not, for the reason
that the goat would receive the
largest amount of the virus, wher
there would be but little left to poison
the children. In such a case, whisky
being used on the children, their re
covery would be attributed to thu
whisky; so the friends and neighbour
would think they have positive proc
of a sure antidote in whisky. Here
is the fallacy which science alone car
demonstrate. If, when whisky il
mixed with the poison directly, it il
no antidote, how can it become 81
when taken into the system remote
ly, the whisky in the stomach anC
the poison in the goat? Physiologi
cally, whisky is antidotal so far as i
will sustain the tagging powers dur
ing the time the poison is being elm
mated by the excretory organs. II
the light. of the above scientific
demonstrations, how a doctor car
gravely or frantically proceed to trea
arattlesnake bite by injecting arounC
the wound permanganate of potassa
or any supposed antidotes, or order ,
chicken split open and applied to thu
wound, or the anus of the chicken APP

Easter Cards

The valentine has had its day for this
season and many young aspirant for certain
sweet smiles hasmournfully concluded that
the nve dollars he expended on gilt Cupid,
festooned and frescoed, was . poor invest
ment- But ere many days other strings in
tnat young mans mental harp will be touched
BY the skilfull fingers of him, the size of
whose pocket book coordinates with the size
OF your generous impulse to buy. Easter
cards are expressive Of lar different senti-
ment than is indicated by valentines, but like
them, are in accordance with a custom which
has come TO stay. The card is something
that is less transient and less expensive
than the gift of flowers and
consequently meets the demand of more
people. This years styles will show quite a
good deal of handpainted work. This sort
OF work which five years ago was solely done
FOR private sale by few individuals and
which gradually grew into a rage, seems now
to be resting about half way down the scale
of demand. There are three large firms in
Massachusetts who deal exclusively with
cards executed by hand. The artist hires
out his genius by the day and
to use his own expression, he can pound
out about thirty cards per diem. They are
spread out before time and all are to have the
same design. The same brush, with the
same color, and by the same stroke of the
hand touches them all in quick succession
Thus step by step they are all built up to-
gether. Another proof of American
versatility which meets every new demand
with quick and organized methods.
