STOP THE WASTE.

A great many persons cannot understand
how it is, when there appears to be plenty
of money in the country, that there Is
nevertheless SO much suffering and SO much
complaint OF hard times. 1t puts me in
mind of story once read about farmer
and his hogs. He had lot of hogs, of
good breed too, which he could not get fat.
He gave them milk every day, plenty Of it,
and yet they got poorer continuously. H1
concluded those hogs had some new and
strange disease. He wrote to an agricul-
tural journal about them. A veterinary
surgeon thought it a strange case, and de-
termined to investigate He went to look
at the hogs; they were sorry looking sal
indeed. He climbed into the hog pen to
investigate, and, 10. the mystery was solved
there was large leak in the trough. Ii
society wishes to exist and prosper, this
leakage, the liquor traffic, must be stopped

ApxncE ABOUT FEMALE TOILETS.

A sensible girl win not keep lot of cos
metics and drugs on her toilet table. but
there are few articles she should always
have in convenient place. She should
have an array of glass-stoppered bottles
containing alcohol, alum, camphor, borax,
ammonia and glyeerine or yaseiine. A
little camphor and water may be used as
a wash for tie mouth and throat if the
breath is not sweet. Powdered alum ap-
piled to fever sore will prevent it from
becoming very unsightly and noticeable.
Insect stings or eruptions on the skin are
ed by alcohol A few grains of alum
in tepid water will relieve people whose
hands perspire very freely, rendering them
unpleasantly moist. A few drops of sul-
phurie acid in water are also desirable for
those whose feet perspire freely. We
should always recommend care in the use
of scented soap; in many cases the perfume
is simply disguise for poor quality.

THE GOLDEN SIDE.

There is many a rest in the road of life,
If we would only stop to take it;
And many a tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would make i'll
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust meier faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright
Though the winter storms prevalent.
Better TO hope though the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep
through,
When the ominous clouds are riftedi
There was never night without day.
Or an evening without morning;
And the darkest hour, as the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is may gem in the path ofllfe,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure.
That is richer tar than the jeweled crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasure:
1t may be the love of little child,
Or a mothers prayer to heaven,
OR only a beggars grateful thanks
Fora cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web OF life
\ bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with a ready heart,
And hands that are ready and willing,
Than to snap the delicate, minute threads
OF our curious lives asunder,
And then blame Heaven for the tangled
ends,
And sit and grieye and wonder.

SEPTEMBER HEALTH HINTS.

This piece of reading matter that follows
is from the National Educator. Says the
writer: Large quantities Of rain have fallen
the past few weeks. The air is surcharged
with moisture, so much so that the walls
in our houses are damp and the paper on
the sides of rooms and ceilings is giving
way. This indicates a state of affairs which
needs careful watching. The raw, damp
mornings and evenings are fruitful causes
of colds and sickness. Damp walls, damp
rooms, damp cellars, damp ground and
damp clothes are productive of heavy colds.
Sitting in damp room till one feels chilly,
dressing in damp clothes which have been
lying about on damp floors in the night,
damp parlors, sitting-rooms and school
rooms in which there are as yet no fires
will swell the sick list and mortality bill
most fearfully.
What is to be done? The weather cannot
be changed. These cool, damp September
nights visit us every year, only some years
more so than others, as the season is more
wet than dry. Now is the time for fever;
this is the month malign. Wecannot change
the month, but we can guard against ex-
posing ourselves unnecessarily to the damp
ness or remaining long in damp, chilly
room.
Fires must be made to take off the damp
ness, even if for only half an hour in
day. Under-g garments must again be worn.
Avoid being out in the dampness, especial
y after nightfall. Always have bright
fire after sunset. Do not retire at night
into damp bed, even if it should only feel
damp. Do not ''slip on" your damp
clothes, feeling sticky, like molasses, where
they touch the body. Keep windows and
doors closed until the sun shines out bright
ly again. Remember that diphtheria, scar
let fever, malaria, rheumatism, etc., are
getting in their deadly work, and will
carry off to the grave their victims by
thousands this fall again, not only chill
dren, but also adults. Will you be one Of
them? Multitudes of children are taken
sick with different maladies, resulting from
damp schoo-rooms, with possibly water in
the cellars. Nine-tenths of these diseases
and deaths are avoidable.
Parents see that your children wear
undertaking. Begin now; never mind
few warm or even hot nays; they can be
endured much better than subsequent
sickness. The cool, damp days and nights
will soon have the majority. Do not allow
child au RI r,, a rouud With ha ra feet and
damp stockings at this season. Make them
eat something warm before they go out
in the morning. 1t will not hurt you to
observe the same rules, though children
are more sensitive, and hence get sick more
frequently.

HIS SISTER.

'You won't fog me, sir" said the boy,
in a low voice. His face flushed holly.

''Oh, John told him not to, did hee How

reioinder, and then the girl was silenced.
81 suppose John told him not to put mp

unwilling to end the controversy.
'John said nothing to me about that; l
simply forgot il" said Robert, sullenly-
"Of course you forgot it You're al

Last night fat man, wearing a low.

then slid down inside Of his shirt and
nestled on his breast,
No one saw the incident, The obese

that something had happened and that
he had arrived at a crisis In his life. A
panied, startled expression rested for q
moment on his face; then with low,
plaintiye wall Of heart-bFeakilg agony
he half rose from bis chair and clapped
bis hand on his stomach, He struck the
oyster, but that coy creature was one OF
the most alert and agile OF It's species,
It at once changed It's base on feeling
the pressure, and SHE'D upward and

With wild howl OF anguish the un.

The unfortunate fat man was now In a
state Of MUD bordering on insanity. He
kicked over his chair, yelled and swore,
grabbed himselfin front and behind and
on both sides, rolled up his eyes, froth-
