The ENDURANCE of rain.

Writing of "Pain and its consequences" in

endurance. What you, a boy, to cryl BE

boy He is taught early that from him en-
durance is expected, the self conquest Of re-
strained emotion is his constant lesson. If it
be a girl who suffers, she is assumed to be
weak, and it is felt that her tears are nat
ural, and not to be sternly depressed; nor arc
her little aches and complaints dismissed as
lightly as her brothers. She is trained to
expect sympathy, and learns that to weep is
her prerogative. The first gush of tears after
a hurt of body or mind is in some mysterious
way a relief, and not rudely to BIO chidden;
but upon the whole it is wise and right to
teach patience and Unconditional endurance
to the sex which in life is sure to have the
larger share of suffering. 10 be Of use this
education must begin reasonably early, and
We may leave to the mother to make sure
that it is not too severe. "-Hcrald of Health.

What a Mcnaeerie Man Saws.

Our hunters who are kept busy catching
all sorts of wild animals in all sorts of coun-
tries lave no fear of u bite as n bite. Of
course, if lion or a tiger bites your head
off. you miss it, but that is only because the
laceration is so severe. a wound from a
wild beasts tooth is no worse than II wound
from any other weapon. The result depends
on whether the tooth is clean, or how severe
the wound is, and on the physical condition
of the man.
Our hunters, naturally enough, are greatly
exposed to bites. They have to capture live
animals whenever it is possible, and many of
the animals object. But in case of u bite
they treat it simply as u l%aceration. They
have L! IMMINENT or salye that they use, |
really don't know what 1t is, and then they
use the barks and leaves that the natives use.
or course, if a mans blood is in n bad
condition when he is bitten, or if any dirt or
decayed matter gets into the liberation, tho
patient is likely to suffer, but from the bite
as a bite there is nothing to fear unless it is
from some poisonous creature or from a
rabid animal That is. of course, a general
statement. Circumstances may make all ex-
ception, but the rule is true. New York
