When the unmistakale Indications
of a bad cold are first felt, glass of hot
lemonade before going to bed will
sometimes correct the mischief. The
feet may be soaked in warm water with
a couple of tablespoonfuls of mustard
stirred in it, if the cold is in the head.
But when this is done, warmer stockings
than usual should be worn next day.
If the chest is sore, it may he rubbed
with warm oil, or spirits of turpentine,
and an extra layer of flannel placed
next the skin before going to bed.

During last week there have been intro

the pension list. But among all these
bills there is not one to increase the pit

were killed in battle or died Of diseases
contracted in the service and in the line
Of duty. This shows lamentablc lack
Of gallantry on the part of the representa-

Setting Money Without Earning 1t.

The most unfortunate day in the ca
teer of any young man is the day on
which he fancies there is some better
gay to make money than To earn it;
for from that feeling spring the many
extravagant and visionary schemes which
are INDUCED in for the purpose of gain
ing livelihood without labor. When
young man becomes thoroughly infect
ed With this feeling, he is ready to adopt
any means for the accomplishment of his
objects, and, if he is foiled in his efort1,
uyon the crest of the wave which he has
already mounted, and in full view, is the
temptation to crimes, to shield him from
the disgrace which he thinks must iney-
tably follow in the wake of defeat.
To those he yields, and the first ho
realizes he finds himself the violator OF
tho law, and criminal in the eye Of
tho community, and the inmate of a 2ris-
on, waiting trial, all brought about for
the want Of little manly firmness in
the outset Of life to prompt him to choose,
an avocation where the penny earned
would bring with it its sure reward.
Then let young men spurn the ideA
of obtaining money without rendering
an equiva.ent !; let them be ready and
willing to occupy positions in. life which
will give them the best possible opro-
tunity to develop their natural ts'ent,
and do good to others while ..eiping
themselves.

Salt In the Ocean.

The proportion of salt in the ocean Is
generally about three or four per cent,
although it varies in different seas and
in the same sea at different seasons and
ct various depths. The Atlantic ocean
is more saline than the Pacific; the An
tarctic than the Arctic. The safest part
of the Pacific is in latitude 22' N. and
17o S. of the equator. The least saline
water is in the polar seas, where the ice
freshens the water. The surface is very
often less salt than the depths of the
eea, owing to the flowing into the ocean
of large quantities of fresh water from
rivers Deep seas nre generally much
more saline than shallow ones, and in
land seas than the ocean; but this do
pends on the proportion that the river
water, Rowing into the sea, bears to the
evaporation from its surface, and also
partly to the influx of salt water. The
Mediterranean, for instance, in its deep
er parts, is much more salt than the open
sea, but the Baltic much less go.

4 Hint to BOYS,

A philosopher has eaid that the trui
education for boys is to teach them What
they ought to know when they become
men. What is it they ought to know?
l. To be true; to be genuine. No edu-
cation will ,e worth anything that does
not include this. A man had better not
know how to read-he had better never
learn letter n the alphabet, and be true
and genuine in intention and action,
rather, than, being learned in all sci
ences and in all languages, be at the
iame time false at heart and also coun-
terfeit in life. Above all things, teach
the boys that truth is more than riches,
more than culture, more than earthly
power or position.
2. To betrue in thought, language and
life-pure in mind and body. An im-
pure man, young or old, poisoning
society where he moves with his srnutty
stories and impure example, is moral
ulcer, plague spot, a leper, who ought
to be treated as were the lepers of old,
who were bani.hed from society and
compelled to cry "Unclean," as warm
ing TO save others from the pestilence.
3. To be unselfsh. To care for the
feelings and comforts of others. To be
polite. To be just in all dealings with
others. To be generous, noble and manly.
This will include genuine reverence
4. To be selfreliant and self-helpful
even from early childhood. To be in
dustrious always, and self-supporting at
the earliest age. Teach them that all
honest work is honorable, and that an
idle, useless life of dependence on others
is disgraceful.
When a boy has learned these things,
when he has made these ideas part of
his being, however young he may be,
however poor or however rich, he has
learned some of the important things he
ought to know when he becomes man.
With these four properly mastered, it
will be easy to find alltse rest e.
