WE Musr CONCENTRATE.

Again remark: We want more common
sense in the obtaining Of religious hope. All
men understand that in order to succeed in
worldly directions they must concentrate
They think on that one subject until their
mind takes fire with the velocity Of their
own thoughts All their aoumen, all their
strategy. all their wisdom, all their common
sense. they put in that one direction and they
succeed But how seldom it Is true in the
matter Of seeking after God. While no man
expects TO accomplish anything for this world
without concentration and enthusiasm, how
many there are expecting after awhile to get
into the kingdom Of God without the use Of
any such means A miller in California,

full Of the talk about gold. Gold in the eyes,
gold in the ears, gold in the wake Of ships,
gold in the streets-gold, gold, gold. Word
comes to us that the mountain of Gods love
is full Of bright treasure; that men have
been digging there, and have brought up
gold, and amethyst, and carbuncle, and jas

who, digging in that mine for one hour, has
brought up treasures worth more than all the
stars that keep vigil over our sick and dying

Is it undeveloped territory Oh, no; the story
is true There are thousands of people in this
audience who would be willing to rise and tes-

FACTS ABOUT INSOMNIA.

Frequently 1t Is Caused by Utter Lack of
Domestic Recreation.
Are you afflicted with insomnia? Per-
haps you have too much time for sleep.
Perhaps you depend too much on sleep
for rest and recuperation. For sleep
is not the sole rest of the. used-up
nerves. SOciability, congeniality and
the enjoyment of good company rest
the body quite as much as sleep. The
dreary monotOny of life in many a
household, involving this tumbling into
bed with the mechanical regularity of
a machine at nine or ten o'clock in the
evening, does not always rest weary
bodies. Early to bed and early to
rise" does not always make man
healthy, wealthy or wise. Numbers of
organizations are only capable of five
or six hours sleep at time, and their
early lying down to rest is often sue
ceeded by an early waking up and a
consequent restless tossing for hours
preceding daybreak. The practicers
of punctuality are often surprised after
breaking their own cast-iron rules
aRd passing two or three later hours of
mirth or jollity past their usual bed
time, to find themselves even more re-
freshed in the morning than usual.
The relaxation of sociability has rest
ed them more than sleep would or an
attempt to sleep. But these are condi-
tions not so easily reached in the aver
age family. In fashionable life we
have formal, exhausting, mechanical
evening of more or less dissipation.
On the other hand, the evenings in
great numbers of families are monoto-
nous hurn6rum. They involve the
assembiage of the same people,
the same surroundings, the same
paterfamilias yawning over his paper,
and the same querulous mamma
oEerladen with family cares Fresh
people with fresh thought, fresh at
mosphere, any thing to stir up and
agitate the pool of domestic stagnation,
are sadly needed and sadly scarce.
There needs to be also constant sue
cession of such fresh people to bring
about these results. The world is full
of men and women, and in a better
regulated lite it would be their bust
ness after the days work was done to
entertain each other and give each
other fresh life. AS it is now, hun

holds are little better than cells for the
incarceration of each family. Thou
sands are thus worn out prematurely
from utter lack of domestic recreation.

VICTORIA AT HOME.
Something About the Inner Life of the
English Court.

Something About the Inner Life of the
English Court.
The inner life of the court has little
in it to tempt Sybarite-simplicity,
dutifulness, conscientious performance
of work are its characteristics. AT
nine o'clock Her Majesty breakfasts
alone, unless some of her children,
grandchildren or personal friends are
stay ing in the palace. and she is rarely
without them. In summer, at Osborne,
Windsor or Balmoral, this meal is gen.
orally served out of doors, in some al
cove, tent or summer house, after which
the Queen either drives in a small pony
carriage, accompanied by one of the
princesses, or she walks, attended by
a lady-in-waiting or maid of honor,
with whom she converses with friendly
ease, and followed by two Highland
servants and some favorite dogs.
Luncheon is served at two o'clock,
the convives being Her Majesty's fam
lily or royal guests. Until this hour,
from her short after-breakfast exer-
else, the Queen is diligently occupied
with official correspondence and bust
ness of various kinds. Long training
has made her politician of no mean
ability and breadth of view, her natu-
raj common sense forming an admira-
BILE basis for such a superstructure. 1t
assists. too, in enabling her to choose
her friends well and wisely, though
the court surroundings are not calcu-
lated to help royal personages in form
ing just judgment of character. HUI
man nature puts on a somewhat too
angelic guise, where every thing may
be won by amiability and nothing by
the reverse.
In the mornings the maids of honor
(they are nine in alb in waiting for
the tim' are with the princesses read
ing or practicing on the piano, sing
ing or playing lawn tennis with them,
as any young ladies, companions to-
gether, might. The waiting
accompanies the Queen in her after
noon drives and visits, which are most
frequently to the poor and to humble
workers, often to simple gentry or any
one in trouble. Afterward this lady
reads aloud to Her Majesty in her pri-
vate sitting room.
The royal dinner hour in $50, and
that meal is shared by those of the
royal family then residing with the
Queen, by distinguished visitors and
some of the household in rotation, viz. :
lords and ladies-in-waiting maids of
honor, equerries and grooms-in-wait-
ing, this latter official holding con-
siderably lower position than the
equerry, though to the uninstructed it
sounds like a distinction without a diff
ference.
The Arizona sentinel., 1889-08-24

The Queen Is a woman of strict
business habits and steady applica-
ton. The amount of correspondence
she gets through is enormous. In the
private portion of this correspondence
Her Majesty is assisted by her private
secretary, a lady-in-waiting and a
maid of honor, especially the Dowager
Marchioness of Ely, one of the ladies,
who is valued friend.
When the court is at Windsor the
members of the household in attend
ance are one lady-in-waiting (these
ladies are always peeresses), two maids
of honor, lord-in-waiting, also the
keeper of the privy purse, the private
secretary, assistants in both depart
ments and the master of the house
hold. The attendance is the same at
Osborne and Balmoral, with the ex-
ception of the lord-in-waiting.
To attend to Her Majesty S toilet and
wardrobe there are five maids, viz;
three dressers and two wardrobe
woIhen. The senior dresser, who has
been many years with Her Majesty, is
charged specially with the task of
conveying orders to trades people
jewellers, Diapers dressmakers, etc. /;
one dresser and one wardrobe woman
are in constant attendance on the
Queen, taking alternate days.
Dress is a matter in which, even in
her young days, Her Majesty does not
appear to have taken much interest.
At present her perpetual morning al
lows of no crude color combination.
Some of us elders have pleasant, if
vague, recollection of Victoria Regina
a good many years ago, say forty or
forty-three, in very simple and be-
coming bonnet tied beneath the chin,
wreath of wild roses under the brim,
framing a sweet kindly young face.
All, me! sorrow and experience have
writ their cruel marks on hers and
ours since then.-Mrs. Alexander, in

TREATMENT FOR HOGS.
SaItpeter the Main Remedy for Most Dis
eases of Swine.

Saltpeter thins the blood and allays
fever. Spirits of turpentine is healing
to the lungs and fatal to typhoid symp-
toms. A teaspoosful of saltpeter and
the same quantity of spirits of turpen-
tine in each barrel of swill is a good
thing for well hogs in district where
there is any liability to hog plague. If
any symptoms of sickness occur in
crease the dose to a pint of saltpeter
and half tea-cup of turpentine to each
barrel of swill, and if it does not stop
at that give all they can be made to
take in their swill. One year, while
! feeding over a hundred shotes, they
were taken with cholera, or hog plague.
say hog plague because the disease
did not always assume the same form.
Hogs will generally purge in the last
stages of almost any fatal disease, so
purging and vomiting is not always
the beginning, but frequently the
ending, or last stages of the
disease. In nearly all cases |
find fever. The blood thickens and
sometimes the hogs are costive. They
almost always cough more or less, &C
cording to the severity of the disease.
They frequently have blind staggers,
will turn round and round, run against
buildings or fences, and sometimes
travel in every direction as far as the
limits of the pasture will allow, until

times they have quick, irregular

typhoid fever. experimental long
time before | came to the following
conclusion as to remedies:
A have given 2-quart pailful of
saltpeter in rich swill to 100 sick
! shotes, and it benefited them at once.
If the hog gets so sick he will not
drink the swill, let two men hold him
on his back and, forcing his mouth
open with stick, put half teacupful
of pine tar, mixed with a heaped Ia
blespoorf full of pulverized saltpeter
down the animals throat. Then make
tablespoonful of turpentine follow 1t
and anoint the neck and chest Of the
patient with teacupful more of the
the same fluid. l have cured hogs
worth $40 apiece. Sometimes the

ond time. Three men can dose 100
hogs in two or three hours, so it is
not great JOE. D. Griswold, in

An Instance of Canine Affection.

a waterspout which burst recently on
the Batcombe Hills, in Dorset, Eng,
and sent destructive torrent of water
through the valley below, the Dorset
County Chronicle mentions touching
instance of canine affection which oc-
CURED at local farm-yard. A collie
bitch, with puppy, was chained to a
kennel. When the flood entered the
yard the mother seized the puppy in
her mouth and lifted it above the
water; the chain. however, was not
long enough to allow the dog to swim,
and, as the water rose, the dog and the
puppy were gradually drowned, the
mother trying to the very last to save
the life of her offspring. When the
water subsidized the puppy was found
still in the mouth of the dead mother

MIGRATION OF ANTS.
Remarkable Circumstances will Which
the Expeditions Are Attended.

Remarkable Circumstances will Which
the Expeditions Are Attended,.
The ant cities, as they ought to be
called, of Brazil. are of such amazing
size that they have more the character
of structures reared by human hands
than that of monuments of insect
industry and skill They are con-
ical mounds of clay, which their tiny
architects rear to the height of ten or
twelve feet; their circumference is
nine or ten feet. A hard, yellow clay
forms the external coat; the inside is
divided by number of horizontal
floors or stories of hard, black earth,
in thin plates, which some times shine
like Japan-ware.
These habitations are peopled by
myriads of ants of a large size, and
brown color. They have the power
of exuding from their bodies viscid
fluid, by which they moisten the clay
to the consistency fit for making
floors. Some species form covered
ways in this manner, and tunnels or
avenues of this description have been
found stretching for a considerable
distance from one settlement to an
other, and through these the ants are
enabled to make pretty long journeys
unseen.
They sometimes migrate, and their
expeditions are attended with truly
remarkable circumstances. In fact,
they resemble on small scale, the in
roads of Attillt and his million OF
mounted barbarians into the fruitful
and glowing plains of Italy-leaving
parched desert in their wake. When
these insect Huns set out in such en-
terprises, they proceed right forward
in straight line, just as the laden
bee flies to its hive, and they devour
everything in their way which is eata-
BILE, like cloud of locusts 'warping
on the wind"
1t once happened, during one of
these ant expeditions which was under
tal1sn near the city of Rio de Janeiro,
that garden INSTRUCTED their line
of marcia deep ditch of water in par
ticular seemed an unsurmOuntable OBJ
stacle; however, a stick happened ac-
cidentally to be lying across it; this the
ants used as bridge, and over it they
poured by mYriads, so that in u few
hours the garden was swarming full
of them, and every thing of a vegetable

ceeded on till they came to the house of
the Swedish Consul, through which
they actually made their way. The
gentleman who inhabited it was sud-
denly awakened during the night by a
horrid sensation, and starting from his
couch, he found himself covered with
these insects, whose crawling and
biting had awakened him. The house
was full of them; there was neither re-
cess nor apartment nor closet exempt
from their presence. Impeled by their
instructive tendency to advance, they
pursued their onward course until the
whole body passed through, aud next
morning not single one of them was
to be seen.
Strange to say, the ants devoured
every o her insect in their progress, so
that the singular visitation was not
without its use. Spiders, cockroaches
and every thing of the kind which in
tested the house became the prey of
these nocturnal visitors, and when
they disappeared it was found that
every other species of insect had dis

The sun is wonderful beautifier OF
the complexion, but, like many good
tonics, ought not to be taken in toe
large doses at first. Going from the
city, where, even when walking out,
we take the shady side of a street, d.
rectly into the glare of a monday sun
in the country is of all things to be
avoided. In fact, the monday sun is
penetrating even to very healthy coun-
try people, and it is not advisable to
seek it too often, even for the sake
of the complexion. The morning and
afternoon sun will do all that is de-
sired in this respect,
Some fair-skinned people are pre-
vented from enjoying the country,
owing to getting so easily sun-burned.

When sun-burned battle the afflicted

lemon juice to the face just before re-
firing for the night, letting it remain
over night, and washing it off with soft
warm water in the morning. A few
drops of the spirits of camphor in the
wash water two or three times a week
will help to keep the skin clear.
A good wash for the skin during the
summer is made as follows: To one
quart of rose water add, drop by drop,
stirring all the time, one ounce of
tincture of benzoine. Remember that
it is benzoine, and not benzine. Bot

to the wash-water each day, until the
water is like skim-milk, and the skin
may be kept soft and nice, even
