collie.

Roughly speaking, collie is due to irreg-
contractions of the great intestine. The
causes OF this complaint are very numor-
Gus. In some cases the disease is due to
constipation and consequent distention of
the colon. Sometimes over fatigue will
bring it on; occasionally eating some food
which does not agree with the constitution.
Many positively awful cases in which the
sufferer longed fordeath as a relief from his
agony, have been due, in my experience, to
such trifling cases as eating a bit OF plum
cake or plum pudding, a few cherries, cnr-
rants, gooseberries, grapes. all unripe apple
or pear. Water contaminated with lead or
some other metal is one of the most fire.

Middle-aged and elderly women of rather

SWEET N Err.

The spring has fed with lis shine and show
The summer reigns in the radiant hour.
When noon burns sweetness from every low
That turns its sweetness to the sun.
She reigns In the waving blue OF the skies,
When the level light of late evening lies
On pastures golden with memories
OF dear dreams over and done.
Oh summer. sweet summer, when lovers stray
Past the green mill pool by the shady way,
Through the fields soft -wreathed in the new
mown hay,
And down through the leafy lane:
When the Young dream dreams and The o,d
folks stand
And look out over the quiet land.
And sigh mot sadly. If hand clasp hand)
That youth comes mover again!
For the summer dies-as our youth must die
And vain are the prayer and The pas sionate
cry,
That roses and beautiful days go by
With all their wonder and worth:
And SHOWS are over the lily head,
and a sheet of ice on the roses bod,
Ana love may die, now the leaves are dead,
And winter Is lord of The earth.
Yet listen, sad heart, to the glad refrain
OF the brown-winged birds in the brown hedg
ed lane;
Summer has gone but she comes again,
sweet Summer never can die.
And youth, sweet youth, is immortal, too.
And will bloom again as the roses do,
And love is eternai-if hearts be true
Though youth and the rose go by.

BEAUTY Of WOMEN.

Quite the ugliest face | ever saw Cob
serves Whittier) was that of a woman
whom the world called beautiful. Through
its silver veil the evils and ungentle
nsssions locked out, hidcons aud hateful.
On the other hand, there are faces which
the multitude at first glance pronounce
homely, unattractive and sach as mature
fashions by the gross" which | always
recognize with a warm beart-thriit. MOI

changed; they please me as they are; they
are hallow.d by kind memories and beau-
tifal through associations.

THE BALLOON AND BOYS.

Some one has said that saloons can no
without logs. Lately in Chicago "a school
teacher noticed a kno of boys counting the
number Of holes in some cards. He called
one of them up and insisted on knowing
what it meant, and the boy told him that
a saloon keeper, who had his saloon near
the school, had given them those cards,
and every time they took a drink he
punched them-one hole for beer, two for
straight drinks, and three for mixed
drinks-and each month he gave prizes.
The boy who had the most holes punched
in his card got a revolver, the second a life
of Jesse James, aud the third a meer-
schaum pipe"

ADVICE TO

Husbands ought always 10 wear a smil-
ing aud happy conntenance. Should the
care OF providing the raw material to make
a home weigh you down, never mind,
always go home with a smile. Husbands
have often lost the affections Of their wives
by looking
BE careful about your personal appear
ance; much depends upon that. BE sure
that your hair is smoothly arranged aud
Your collar spotiess before presenting
yourself at the breakfast table. 1t is by
attention to such little things that you
may be able TO retain the affections Of your
wife.
Don't complain if GU are sick. A com
planning husband often drives a woman 10
seek more %congenial society. If you have
the toothache-smile.
IL you are embarrassed for want of funds
to meet the necessary expenses Of your
household, always bear it with a cheerful
and happy expression-always smile;
your wife may be driven 10 spending her
evenings elsea here than at home if you
complain.
Keep up with the times. Your wife
having the care Of the education of the
children, naturally reads more than you.
Don't let her. After you have worked
twelve or fifteen hours a day, devote the
remainder in keeping your mind in good
trim, SO that your wife may not find a
more congenial spirit elsew here.
Should your wife smoke or use tobacco
in any form, it isn't best to object. Smiles
will do more han frowns. Encourage
her to smoke or chew, as the case may be,
at home, or she may be driven to stay
away from home. Personal liberty is
always sacred.
BY always paying strict attention to the
above rules, aud smiling continually, you
will probably be able to retain the affee-
tions of your wife for a considerable time.

SILENT INFLUENCES.

As flowers and plants appear quietly, 80
is their influence a silent one. The flower
missions, which were established some time
ago, are examples showing what flowers
alone can do for the human race. They
are distributed in the hospitals, prisons aud
in the houses Of the poor. These gifts ac-
complish what words could not do.
The little blossom in its sweetness and
purity speaks of a higher love; it rouses
many a discouraged one to cleanliness and
n~eatness; it sliames the careless woman; it
soltsns the rough speech, clears the cloud
cd faces and makes those to whom they are
given not only happier but better. 1t is
pleasant to think Of the beautiful flowers as
a silent Influence sent from God to perform
their little mission in this great world of
ours.

OYSTERS.

A single oyster will deposit during July,
August and September over one million
eggs. The little oyster is at first not larger
than a pin point, and swims about by
means of cilia-that is, hairs resembling
eyelashes. In a month or six weeks they
are as large as a kernel of corn, and in
three Dr. four years are of marketable size.
The mouth has no teeth, but has two pairs
of tentacles TO direct the course of the food.
705, O00, 900 of oysters are handled yearly
in New York City alone, representing a
capital of 81. o77, 090. and giving employ
ment to thousands. The pearl oyster is
found in tropical seas, aud the shells are
sometimes twelve inches long. with a most
beautiful irrideseent lining. If any sub
