With the rapid growth of reconstructtve

dies, among which buttermilk demands
respectable place A young lady patient of
the writer's was suffering from q severe con-
sumptlve cough. None of the usual anti
spasmodics, expectorants, etc, seemed to do
any good, simply because her stomach was
too weak to bear enough medicine to effect
the purpose. Finally suggested to her mother
the use of buttermilk. 1t was adopted at
once. Her first nights experience was one OF
comparative freedom from cough and pain,
and a pleasant slumber for several hours. 1t
was continued for long time, with an I'M
varying relief of all her distressing symptoms
and an almost perfect freedom from cough
for several hours after each draught of THE
hot buttermilk.
Lingering at one time for weeks from an
attack of congestive fever, dosed with Gallo
mel and qlEinine almost beyond endurance,
the writer began to desire buttermilk to
drink. The physician didn't believe in
humoring the whims of patients" as he ex-
pressed it; besides, he contended that q
single drink of the obnoxious fluid might
produce death, as acids and calomel were in
compatible jewellers in the same stomach.
But was good persuader, and my mother
was susceptible subject. The buttermilk,
fresh from the churn," was procured and
drank. No evil resulted; instead came a
perspiration and speedy recovery.
Many years afterward l had missed my
usual noon meal 1t was about or p.
m.-dinner, of course, was over-when
reached a farmhouse, weak, tired, hungry,
and ''all out of condition'Sfor active work.
Dinner was suggested by the housewife. 'No,
indeed!" said l, mot this time; am nearly
home. But if you have any buttermilk
will take drink of that to stay my stom-
ach." A good, kind hearted woman, she
soon brought up a pitcher of buttermilk
from the cool spring house, while l examined
my patients and prescribed for them Perhaps
pint was drunk during the stay of nearly
an hour. For months indigestion had held
his unfriendly grasp on my stomach. From
that notable day forward his reign was
broken; my stomach was healed, and could
ride all day, if necessary, without feeling Sc
woe begone from the lack of food as before
the drinking of the buttermilk.
There are people, however, who cannot
use buttermilk at all, and some who cannot
use milk of any kind, nor bntter; but to
others it proves both food and medicine

calling the child's attention TO II, SAD:
Snow, Winnie, whenever you feel like cry
ing you must lie down upon this coat"
The child obediently threw herself upon
the garment and sobbed herself to sleep
Afterward, when for any reason the tears
began to flow, Winnie took the coat from its
nail, laid it upon the foor, and wept out her
sorrow upon it. And So the garment ratur
ally took the name OF grGndpa's crying coat.
What hopes and fea;s, what soul hurts,
what heart burnings, what paroxysms Of
pride and passion were washed away by the
brine of salty tears upon that old, faded,
worthless coatl And with what awe did the
child regard It'll No secrilegious hand could
be laid upon it without awakening passion
ate objection from the child, and a long tale
at night to her grandpa of how the garmsnt
had been ruthlessly flung about during his
absence
There came day when the coat failed to
perform the kindly offices with which
grandpa had endued it Winnie tossed
about upon it, and threw her arms over her
flushed face, but no relief came to her A
malignant fever had smitten the child, and
dried the fountain of her tears And in her
delirium she called for grandpa and his cry
and leaned over the flushed face the tears
stole out of his eyes and ran down his brown
cheeks The light of momentary intelligence
came back to Winnie's eyes, and feebly she
said:
Grandpa, lie on the coat"
The coat does not hang in the garnet now.
1t is carefully laid away in q trunk, and
sprinkled with tobacco to keep away the
moths. Sometimes John takes it out Of the
trunk when the door is locked and no one is
looking, and handles it reverently. 1t is sus-
pected by other members Of the household
that be does so, although no one can say GER
tainly as to what John does when he is in the
room. 1t is said when John comes out of the
room he wears a gentle, subdued air, and
that'he moves around softly, as if some one
was asleep whom he does not wish to waken.
These indications, in connection with the fact
that the keyhole is plugged when he is in the
room, has led Johns friends TO suspect that
the coat is just as much entitled to its odd
name as ever it was.--New York Evening

The Destructiveness of Love.

It is cruel that from beginging to end a
woman's part in love so often is one of self
destruction. 1t begins with the love making,
when the youth, fascinated with a novel
interest more potent than bicycle or business,
outstays the moon in that long, lingering
talk which is so sweet, but which breaks up
her beauty sleep when she needs it most
For love is an upsetting thing to young
nerves, and sendiig girl off with feet cold
and hands trembling and heart throbbing at
mention of name or sound of q voice is not
conducive to good circulation and sound rest
by day or night. The dreams, the uncertain
ties, the drain of feeling all tax her nervous
system, till few persons can realize the strain
of mind and nerve in which highly wrought
girl can live weeks months and years.
Then the introductions to the new rela-
tives, the preparations for the wedding all
tell on the average girl, who takes more or
less of her own responsibilities beforehand,
American girl fashion. All this counting
time he has been coming two, three, five
nights a week, on his idiotic alteration trips
The girl would be glad to be spared so much
of his presence, but she hardly knows how to
tell him so, and isn't aware that six months
or so of such courtship is excellent prepare
ton for stupid honeymoon. Married, a
man can't realize that his wife is not just as
able as his fellows of the club to sit up till
any hour of morning, keeping up bright con-
versation, playing whist, or eating suppers
at a. m. There is almost nothing worse
than keeping a delicate young woman up
late till her eyes shut and her sentences wan.
der for very sleeplessness.
Oh, the pretty, languid eyed women I have
heard say: "If only didn't have to go out

Grandpa Monroe's Crying Coat"

Rather young was John Monroe for a
grandpa. He had just passed his 10th year
stone in the journey Of life, and the coming
of the baby Winnie gave him an awakening
shock which was something Of a surprise
He noticed now, for the first time, that the
fires of ambition had burned down to gray
ashes. There were no northern lights on his
fancys horizon, and he found himself looking
into his mirror for gray hairs. He found
them, too, in silver lines along his forehead
They were so plentiful that he could not pull
them all out, and so he was forced to let them
remain, grim warnings of a coming crop of
gray. And with their coming hopes of great
achievements died and were buried with de-
sire and pride and hope. But Johns youth
was renewed in the little Winnie, his sons
baby, and as the baby grew and emerged
from the long clothes period into that Of
short clothes, and began to lisp those little
household words which fall like music'on the
ears of parents. Mr.. Monroes love for the
child waxed stronger and stronger. As love
begets love, the baby returned her grandpa's
affection, and so it came to pass that when
Winnie was 2 years old, John and Winnie
were inseparable.
One day on returning from his daily work
grandpa found Winnie crying. He Went up
to the garnet and brought down with him an
old coat This he laid uDon the floor and.

Starving to Death for Love.

Ouida says that woman has the heart of
dog, meaning by that l suppose, that the
more she is beaten the more she loves the
hand that beats her. But it is not true The
strongest love of the strongest of us can be
bent and broken like lily by indifference or
neglect The man who holds his heart proud
and high, too often takes the love of a woman
for granted. Having once won it, he feels
too sure that he can keep it without any
trouble, at least without any extra trouble
"Tve got her now," he says to himself. "She
belongs to me as much as my horse does; l
will see that she is well fed, well stabbed, well
groomed and well shod, and what more could
a reasonable woman DESIRE" and he picks up
the little mote he laid at her feet before he
'got her, :" and which he was pleased to call
his heart, aud holding it up proud and high
he turns the key and leaves her. But some

even sitter and colder than ms and some
times she beats her hot, impetuous sighted
heart against the bars of her prison until she
finds her way out to sunshine and to freedom.
But, alas that / must confess it, she more
often starves TO death from love hunger
within her prison walls.
Men may laugh of it, but there are such
deaths, and women die there daily and are
shrouded and cofiined and buried without
the worlds ever knowing that there is even
so much as a faint bruise on their tender,
loving, patient hearts. 1t is the men who
hold their hearts proud and high" who kill
women in this noiseless, stealthy way.
1t is q strange fact that cold, reticent, I'M
demonstratiye men who hold their hearts
proud and high, and who weigh out in homoe-
opathic doses the words of affection they
give to woman lest they should give her
the hundredth part of a grain too many,
have often the power TO awaken the passion
ate alteration of the most intense and loving
est women of us all She thrills with bliss at
the lightest touch of his hand and turns pale
with emotion at the very sound of his voice
or his step. When he smiles on her she goes
right up to heaven, and when he frowns she
drops down to earth with sickening thud.
She would climb the highest peak with bare
and bleeding feet just for one soft look from
his hard, cold eyes. She would wade ankle
deep through the burning sands of desert
to win one word of love from his cold, dumb
lips. She would throw herself between him
and death and gladly die on his cold bosom
for the sake of one warm and tender kiss;
and she would lay her prettiest tea gown on
the altar of self sacrifice as burnt offering
if he would only call her darling" just one
time.
But even the most intense, constant and
lovingest woman of us all cannot go on
climbing high mountains, wading through
hot sands and sacrificing her best tea gowns
forever She is human, and she will faint
and die on the way, leaving her broken heart
as warning to others who stake all on love
and lose; or she will get tired of striving
for the love that is held out of her reach,
and will comfort herself with some tenderer
heart that loves her and is not too proud to
tell her so,-PeaTl Rivers in New Orleans

the dangers Of interfering with intellectual
development. The immature brain of child
hood is such an exceedingly delicate organ
that grievous consequences often, in later
life, result from efforts to quicken the under
standing. In the natural order of things
the powers of the mind are disclosed grad
ually and in harmony with the advancement
Of other functions of the system.
But to return to our subject Unexcep-
tional children who are destined, too, to prove
unexceptional adults, constitute the great
ma jority. 1t is much safer to encourage in
tellectual tendencies in them than in children
who are pronouncedly intellectual. Peculi-
arly their property, however-in addition to
those among the qualities we have already al
luded to, which should obviously be secured
for them-are the moral graces which most
adorn childhood and are due TO all. These,
in later life, we find to be our dearest treas
ures and highest incentives Those lessons
of right and truth and uprightness which a
mothers heart wisdom best knows how to
write upon her children's souls ranks first
here Nothing can outweigh them, nothing
can fully replace them. They sow the seeds
of the highest future character. As air and
exercise make healthy bodies, they constitute
the health of the spirit. Next comes the
education in love, kindness and courtesy to
those about us, conferred by the same pre-
ceptions, which makes life now and in
memory afterward rich, and creates natures
capable of later expansion of joys. Integrity
and loving heart are the brightest jewels
you can give any child.-Boston Herald.

Arsenic in WALLPAPERS.

Where arsenic in quantities in wall
paper is suspected, we suggest the fol-
lowing test. No apparatus is needed
beyond an ordinary gus jet, which is
turned down to quite pin point until
the flame is wholly blue; when this
has been done, strip of paper sus-
pected to contain arsenic is cut, one
sixteenth of an inch wide and an
inch or two long; as soon as the edge
of this paper is brought in contact
with the outer edge of the gas flame a
gray coloration, due TO arsenic, will be
seen in the same. The paper is burned
little, and the fumes that are given
of will be found to have a stranpe
garlic-like odor, due to the vapor of
arsenic acid. Take the paper away
from the flame and look at the charred
end. The carbon will be colored q
bronze-red; this is copper reduced by
the carbon; being now away from the
name in fine state of division. tho
copper is slightly oxidized by the air.
and on placing the charred end a see-
ond time not too far into the flame. the
flame will now be colored green by the
copper. BY this simple means it is
possible to form an opinion without
apparatus, and without leaving the
room, as to whether any wall paper
contains arsenic, for copper arsenic is
commonly used In coloring wall papers.
