When a person has remained for an hour
or more in crowded room, the system is
already contaminated to greater or less
extent by breathing air initiated by exhala-
lions from the lungs, bodies and clothing
of the occupants. The immediate effect
of these poisons is to debilitate, TO lower
vitality, and TO impair the natural
power of the system to resist dis
ease. Hence it is that persons who are at
tackled with infiammatery diseases, as
pneumonia or rheumatism, can generally
trace the beginning of the disease to
chill felt on coming out of crowded
room into the cold or damp air. wearing
perhaps thin shoes and insufficient cloth

stood and acted upon, thousands of lives
might be saved every year. It is well.
known fact that men who camp out, y
sleeping on the ground at all seasons Of the
year, seldom have pneumonia, and that
rheumatism, with them, comes, as rule,
only from understandable imprudences.
There are two facts that should be learn
ed by every person capable Of approaching
them and should never be lost sight Of
for moment.
One is that exhalations from the lungs
the breath-are a deadly poison, contain
ing the products of combustion in the
form of carbonic acid gas, and if person
were compelled to reinhale it unmixed
with the oxygen of the air, it would prove
as destructive to life as the fumes of char
coal.
This is an enemy that is always present
in force in assemblies of people and only
a constant and free infusion of fresh all
prevents it from doing mischief that would
be Immediately apparent. The other fset
is that pure air is the antldote TO the poi
son.
The oxygen of the air is the greatest o
all purifiers. Rapid streams of water tina
passes through large cities, receiving th'
sewage, become pure again through tn
action of the air after running few miles
Air is the best Of all blood purifiers.
Combined with vigorous exercise to max

consumption.

Two Interesting Incidents in the Life
of the Great Orator

Mr.. Puryis told coed and characteris-
tic story Of the late Wendell Phillips, who
fought side by side W it'll him during the
battle for emancipation. One day he
arose to address d meeting that was un-
usually hostile to the abolitienists, and
had how led down and insulted several
previous speakers. Mr.. Phillips walked to
the front of the platform ana, scanning the
angry faces in front Of him with a keen and
fearless eye, began: .'You scoundrels!"
Instantly there was storm of angry
howls and curses, but when they ceased he
repeated in a louder voice: ''Y on Sound
relsn' Again the storm rose and again he
repeated the term. The fourth time the
American respect for fearlessness and fair
play asserted itself, and the balance of his
speech was listened to in silence and with
respect. Another time Mr., Phillips was
in a railway car in which were number
of ministers returning from a convention.
Among the number was man with a
loud, student voice, who was loudly de-
claring against the Abolitionists, and es-
pecially against Mr. Phillips. He was
talking at every one in the car, and finally
shouted that he understood that Mr..
Phillips was on board. Calling the con-
ductor, he asked him to point out Mr..
Phillips. The conductor indicated the
orator, who had been quiet and interest
ed listener
The little man th the voice strobe up
the aisle to disrespectful distance, and
after striking an attitude, the following
colloquy took place:
$50 You are Wendell Phillips
Il am SIR" replied the orator. quickly.
Then why don't you go South and
preach your doctrine thore?' shouted the
little minister.
''At this time, explained Mr.. Pnrvis,
in relating the incident, ''any Abolitionist
would have been lynched in the South"
Replying to the clergyman Mr.. Phillips
asked:
"Art you minister of the Gospel"
81 am, sir.
"Your mission is to save sonls from
hell?n
at is, sir :"
"Then why don t you go there, sir?"

GLAD AUTUMN DAYS.

The magic voice of spring has gone,
Her emerald blades are turning brown;
The Dandelion's ball of lace
Has given place to Thistle. down;
The Niolets have caught the dew,
And hid it meath their bonnets blue.
And orchard blossoms, pure and sweet,
Have long since withered in the heat
The sickle, sharpand keen, has reaped
The meadow blossoms, rows on rows;
The Barley lies in winnowed heaps,
And aftermath luxuiiant grows;
The sumac tail, al touched with change,
Forms crimson head around the grange,
And, floating ROW my. path across,
On gauZy wings is Milkweed's floss
o, Naples, all in scarlet dressed;
o, spikes of fiery Golden rod;
o, purple Asters everywhere
Upspringing from the sere. grown sod;
o, blue-fringed Gentian growing tall,
Thou contest when the leaflets fall,
Sweet flowers TO bloom meath golden haze,
And glorify glad autumn days.
No good thing can be lost, no real worth,
Nothing that's true and pure.
We do not see the seed-eorn in the earth;
The harvest time is sure.
Prayer, love, and hope, and work are gclde
grain,
None SONS in vain.

THE TnArxING OF CHILDREN

1t should be a serious and oft considered
thought with parents that nearly always
when they have to punish child the fault
which they strive TO correct would have had
no existence but for them. Il is not merely
Of faults due to bad training that am
speaking, nor even solely of faults directly
inherited. Doubtless many a parent lays
on stripes following strictly the precepts
of that scarcely successful child trainer.
solomon, where, if justice were done,
stripes would fall upon him Cor her. for
women as well as men offend by being
unjustly seyere). Doubtless also it hap
pens repeatedly that a parent corrects Sc
verely in a child the very faults and foibles
in which the child precisely repeats the
parent
But apart from either case, the parent,
whether father or mother, should remember
that for faults which are neither due to de.
feetive training nor to direct Inheritance,
but have been inherited indirectly from
grand parents and great-grandparents
they yet are in such degree responsible
that at least they should limit punishment
to what is strictly necessary for correction.
You may see in child perhaps the
violence or the sullen temper, or the per-
versity, or the want of veracity, as the
case may be, which characterizes net
either Of the parents themselves, but may
be recognised in this uncle or that aunt or
may be tracable to some grandparent or
great grandparent.
Yet the parent has no right to be angry
with tie child for this defect, merely be-
cause it has thus skipped a generation or
so. You will see mother perchance in
heriting fortunate nature, a placid, equable
self controlling temper, from one parent
while her children manifest wild and way
ward dispositions inherited through her
from er other parent. Or in divers other
ways some atayistic popularity of temper
or disposition may manifest itself. In such
cases, or even when popularity is pre-
scented Of which no known record exists as
having Characterised either fathers or
mothers family, take it that the parents
are bound to show no less consideration
than where their own faults are strongly
shown in their children, for it has been
through them, though not from them.
that the unhappy popularity of character
has been derived. -RicAard 4. Proctor.

There is M instrument so efficient in
producing the highest polish on wood or

In the family the mothers hand is the
great polisher 1t keeps little faces and
hands clean; it keeps little dresses and
knickerbockers clean; it closes holes over
knees and toes; it fills hungry mouths with
wholesome and palatabe food it tucks in
the sleeping children at nights aud keeps
out the cold; it soothes weary limbs to
rest, and presses aching heads gently till
they forget to ache; it binds up cut and
burned and bruised fingers; it holds the
cooling draught to feyered lips; it gently
closes the eyes that look upon the sun no
more.
In figure, the mothers hand polishes
the mind and characters of her children.
Her finger points out the letters on the
blocks, IN the primer, the page in the his
tory, the noble ideal to be attained. the
far-of goal to be reached, the rocks to be

element might be fatal to her son. He

NOW TO MAKE AN oNELET FOR BREAK
FAST.
As a rule, al omelet is a wholesome and
inexpensive dish, yet one in the prepara-
ton of which cooks frequently fail, owing
to carelessness OF detail. With little at
tention the housewife can become the per.
feot cook in this as well as other branches.
The flavoring and the ingredients of ONE
lets may be varied indefinitely, but the
principle is always the same. In making
an omelet care should be taken that the
omelet pan should be hot and dry. Put
tablespoonful Of good butter toto the
heated pan; just as it begins to boil pour
in the eggs. 1t is better to make two or
three small omelets than one very large
one, as the latter cannot be well handled
by novice. The omelet made of three
eggs is the one recommended for begin
ners. Break the eggs separate; put them
into bowl and whisk them thoroughly
with a fork. The longer they are beaten,
| the lighter will the onelet be. Beat up
teaspoonful OF milk with the eggs. and
| continue to beat until the last moment be-
fore pouring into the pan, which should be
| over a hot fire. AS soon as the omelet
sets, remove the pan from the hottest part
Of the fire. Slip knife under it to pre-
vent sticking to thepan. When the centre
is almost firm, slant the pan, work the
omelet in shape to fold easily and neatly,
and, when slightly Drowned, hold platter
against the edge of the pan and deffly
turn 1t out on to the hot dish.
Salt mixed with the eggs prevents them
/ from rising, and when it Is so used the
omelet viii Look ilabby, yet without salt
