Cattle are frequently troubled with
sore feet from standing in filthy sta
bles or muddy yards. To prevent it
keep the stable floor and yards dry
and clean. To cure the feet wash
them with warm water and carbolic
soap. Break all blisters and scabs and
get clean raw surface. Then apply
carbolated vaseline or cosmoline mix
ed with enough acetate of copper (ver-
digris) to make the ointment green.
Bandage the feet, passing a part of
it through the cleft. Keet the feet
dry.

For Cramps.

A lady correspondent writes Take
a piece of unbleached cotton cloth
that has never been wet, heat it well
by the fire, and wrap it close around
the limb or part affected, and in a
very short time the cramp will cease
and will not return as long as the cloth
remains.
To wear piece of cotton wick con.
stantly around the ankle, will prevent
cramps in the feet. The other night
l forgot to replace the cotton, and be-
fore morning was obliged to call fol-
help, and by replacing the wick was
soon perfectly relieved. Such simple
remedy is within the reach of all, and
I have never known a single failure
through many years of practice.

The horrid outrage committed by
the brutal fury Of the conquerers on
the innocent and defenseless, give US
q view of the nature of the pride Of
war that pride of which we are &C
customed to speak as constituting the
soldiers glory. However strained by
cruelty, perfidy, or injustice, he is
henceforth transformed into q hero,
and.dignfiied by all the epithets ex-
presive of admiration. The reader
the young reader especially, is thus apt
to be surprised into appreciation of
deeds which, if stated in their native
deformity, his soul would ihave alb
horred.

1t is reported of the late DIR. Wilson
that he said to one of his classes in the
Western Theological Seminary "Gen-
tlemen, when you 60 out to engage in
the work of the ministry, do not jostle
one another around to get the best pla-
ces, but take places that no one wants
and make something out Of them"
Good advice this, and it might not be
out of place to commend 1t to the at
tention of some Methodist preachers
about Conference times where there is
sometime a good deal OF jostling
around for places.

The Dark.
h bara do tho chiclyenc RIM

Where do the chickens run
When they are afraid?
Out of the light, out Of the sun,
Into the dark, into the shade,
Under their mothers downy wing,
No longer afraid Of anything.
Dear little girl, dear little boy,
Afraid OF the dark
Bid your goodbye to the day light with JOY
Be glad of the night. for hark!
The dark ness no stranger at all can bring;
1t Is the shadow of Gods wing.
Where do the little violets creep
In the time OF snow?
Into the dark to rest and sleep
And to wait for the spring, they go
Under the ground where nostorm can reach,
And God takes tenderest care Of each
Are you afraid. little girl or boy,
or the dark Of death?
Jesus will carry you. full Of joy,
To the world OF light he saith:
Under the ground where the violets sleep,
Your little body the Lord will keep.

Make vour home the brightest place

Make your home the brightest place
on earth if you would charm your
children to the high path of virtue,
and rectitude, and religion. Do not
always turn the blinds the wrong way.
Let the light, wich puts gold on the
gentian, and spots the pansy, pour
into your dwellings. Do not expect
the little feet to keep step to a dead
march.

IestlmOny OF Cne Rocks' 0eolo-
gists can read upon the rocks records
which were made upon them ages
upon ages ago-how this world was
formed, and how changes have taken
place in it from age to age. And they
can read records of small events as
we'll as great. Upon the red sand
stone the geologist reads how ages
ago there fell a shower of rain-gen-
erations of people have been born and
buried since then; but the impress
sions remains and they are so plain
that the geologist tells US he can tell
even the direction from which the rain
came. So upon our memories impress
sions are being made which will abide
forever. Small matters are treasured
up as well as great. Even looks and
tones and gestures are making a re-
cord, and that record will be read
again when ages have rolled away
and the day of eternity has come.
Elderly people tell us how strange
ly, at times, things which they had
imagined long forgotten and buried
past recovery reappear quite sudden
ly. A gentleman told me how he
once fell into river and narrowly es-
capped being drowned. AS he sank
and rose in the water, as in moment
the events of his whole life reappeared
before him, and things which he had
thought forgotten forever came back
as vividly as if they had only occurr-
ed the day before. Our memories are
