HOW TO AVOID PNEUMONIA.

The best possible cure for pneu-
monia is the ounce of prevention.
Nasal obstruction and enlarged tom
sils should receive immediate at
tention, and radical treatment when
necessary. The nose has within its
channels elements for clearing the
air with foreign particles and warm
ing it for the lungs. Any nasal oc-
clusion compels the air to be taken
in by the mouth-a most pernicious
habit that of necessity affects the
general health, causing narrowing
of the chest, premature decay of the
teeth, and limits the air supply and
lung capacity. Whoever breathes
through the mouth invites pneumo-
MIA. tits of the greatest Importance
that every inch of lung tissue should
be in a relative perfect condition.
The sum of all the little spaces
where air meets the blood is equal
to the enormous area of $50 square
yards. Each breath may be bring
ing in from the external atmosphere
all manner of deleterious material,
seeking some weak spot to gain
foothold. This weak place cannot
exist without danger to health.
The entire blood current comes to
the lungs to obtain from the outside
world the life giving principle. This
$50 square yards of tissue requires
a supply of pure oxygen over 10000
times every hour. When children
play, race and romp the lungs are
filled in every part, and this very
exercise of filling them strengthens
their substance. Brisk walking,
with deep inspirations and the
mouth closed, helps sweep out the
products Of waste. Everything that
expands the chest, as tennis, bowl
ing, rowing, fencing, etc., is an an

FAT FOR FRYING.

Just here let me tell thee how to
prepare fat for frying that will not
have the disagreeable taste or smell
that lard has, neither will it be sc
expensive. Have thy butcher re.
serve it for thee, say about ten
pounds at time, Of the best bee1
fat, and cut it up into small pieces
When it is brought into the kitchen
put it into large pan, and cover it
over with water, letting it stand a
half hour or so, as convenient.
Then take it out, putting it into a
broad kettle over the stove to grad
ually dry out. When done strain
it off into a pan with some cold
water in the bottom. All impurities
will settle in the water or on the
cake of fat, and the next day it can
be melted over and poured into jars
ready for use. For frying l prefer
beef fat for many things, also the
kettles for that purpose, consisting
of a double kettle, the lower one for
the fat, with a side handle for allow
ing the upper one, which has holes
in it, to be hung upon it, and so
drain off all superhuous fat from
the articles fried. Have all pieces
of fat from steaks or roasts of beef
saved, fried out and strained.
Chicken fat as it is taken from the
chickens before they are cooked, is
very nice for making molasses gin
gerbread, and, by some, considered
nice for shortcakes and biscuit.
Mutton fat | know of no use for { as
it is impossible to disguise the
taste) except for chapped hands
and the like, but all such scraps are
good for soap grease, and that can
be easily made and is very useful
for cleaning purposes. Fat from
sausage meat is good for frying po-
tatoes, also for gingerbread. Just
try it if thee feels disposed to doubt

The Chinese Baby Traffic.

I took ride on the river this af-
ternoon. Canton has about three
hundred thousand people who live
on the water, and there is no buster
city in the world than this city Of
boats. Crafts of all kinds, from the
small steamer, the great Chinese
junk and the river cargo-boats to
the sampans and little tubs rowed
by spoon-like paddles, move here
and there or dart in and out through
forests Of masts. Whole families
live on boats about twenty feet long
and no wider than the average city
vestibule. Here children are born,
grow up and die. Marriages take
place, and the whole business and
actions Of life go on. Little chill
dren swarm over them, and tots two
years old, with queues hanging
down their backs, play about their
decks. The boys have little round
barrels or drums, about a foot long
and six inches in diameter tied by
strings to their backs, and many
girls of the same size have nothing.
If the girl falls overheard it would
be good fortune to the poor family
to get rid Of the expense of raising
her, but the boy must have his life
preserver Poor girls are of no ac-
count in China, and infanticide is
still common. You can buy girl
baby from one cent up to a dollar,
and at the Jesuit children's asylum
near Shanghai one of the sisters
told me that they bought hundreds
Of girls every year for less than a
dollar apiece. At Foo Chow Mr..
Wingate, our Consul, told me of a
poor woman who strangled her OWE
baby girl in order that she might
adopt the baby Of a neighbor to
raise as wife for her little son, and
missionary there told me of man
who went around peddling children.
There is a founding asylum here,
which, upon the payment of twenty
cents by the mother, will take {.
girl baby to raise, but these girls
are sold as soon as they grow much
past the weaning age, and they are
bought in large numbers by brothel
keepers. The selling of girls for
wives and concubines is common,
and full-grown maidens bring from
$25 upward. l spent day sitting
beside the Chinese judge in the
mixed court in Shanghai, and
among the cases tried was that of
an old woman who wanted to pros
ecute mandarin for breaking his
contract in the buying of her daugh
ter. The girl was sold for $50, and
the mandarin took her with him to
Formosa, but did not pay the moth
er. Babies are often bought here,
their eyes put out, and they arc
raised as blind beggars.-Frank G..

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

It is idleness that creates impos.
sibilities and where men care not
to do a thing they shelter them
selves under a persuasion that it
cannot be done. The shortest and
surest way to prove work possible
is to set about it, and no wonder il
that proves it possible that for the
most part makes it SO.
The highest Of characters, in my
estimation, is he who is ready to
pardon the moral errors of mankind
as if he were every day guilty OF
some himself, and at the same time
as cautious of committing a fault
as if he never forgave one.
Wear your learning, like your
watch, in a private pocket, and do
not pull it out and strike it merely
to show that you have one. If you
are asked what o'clock it is to tell
it; but do not proclaim it hourly
and unasked, like the watchman.
It is common to hear persons
complain of a want of language ;
they should rather complain of a
want Of ideas; they forgot that the
tongue is subordinate to the intel
lect.
Many do with opportunities as
children do at the seashore-they
| fill their little hands with sand and
then let the grains fall through, one
by one, till all are gone.
Though reading and conversation
may furnish us with many ideas of
men and things, yet it is our own
meditation that must form our
judgment.
1t is the close observation of lit
tie things which is the secret of sue
cess in business, in art, in science
and in every pursuit in life.
It is easy to discern hattery in
most people, but to discern it's mo-
tives requires an uncommon depth
of penetration.
The shortest and most direct road
to popularity is for man to be the
same that he wishes to be taken for.
Negligence is the rust of the soul,
that corrodes through all her best
resolves.
Poetry should strike the reader
as wording of his own highest
thought.
True merit is like a river; the
deeper it is the less noise it makes:
Politeness has been we'll defined
as benevolent in small things.

Their meeting was touching, and
Harry freely forgave his father for
his harsh treatment.
1t was happy family that gath

appeared and followed the wagon,
which drove to neighboring park,
when the school officers went among
the children, distributing candies
and getting their names and ad-

sixty parents kept their children
from school; and as result Of the
monkeys, the brass band and candy,
about two hundred little boys and
girls have been set at study.

Are We Superior to Our Ancestors

A series of questions interesting
to thoughtful people were lately
propounded in sermon delivered
by Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson
Here are few of them:
because we travel by rail and
not by stage-coach, have our mes
sages sent by electricity and not on
horseback, our clothes stitched by
machines and not by hand, oleo-
margarine on our breakfast tables
instead of butter, and instead OF
sugar glucose, are we so much wiser
and better than our fathers? How
many Chicagos are the equivalent
of one Athens? How many million
aire manufacturers of lard from
cottonseed go to the making of one
Plato? How many glucose factor
les equal one Parthenon? Would
you swap Macbeth or King Lear
for the largest railroad in the United
States? or Paradise Lost for all
the pork ever packed or all the lard
ever adulterated."
MISS FRANCES WIZARDS new
book has just been issued. It is
entitled: "Glimpses of Fifty Years
