Human Frailty.

We are frsil creatures physlcally-the most
robust among us. The unhealthy man or
woman is in great measure incapable of
benefit to society. If, for instance, bilious
stinately resistant of ordinary medication,
obstructs the harmonious action of the liver
and the bowels, the sufferer is sure to be dys-
peptic. The three disordered conditions are
sure to be confirmed by neglect. Under the
erroneous impression that there is no hope
for him, an impression in all Likelihood con-
tirmed by the use of Objectionable remedies,
the sufferer lie apt to become neglectful, nay,
even reckless, and that the sooner he is re-
moved from the sphere of human endeavor
the better for all parties concerned. What q
series of mistakesl His liver is responsible.
1t is an incorporate part of himself. How dis

Bitters, certain medium for the re-establish-
ment OF united, regular ection in the stomach,
liver and bowels. 1t also cures and prevents

A LOVER ON PROBATION.


They were speaking the other day of a
romantic marriage. should call it, rath-
er, in many respects the most sensible mar
riage OF which have in som time heard.
When the would-be bridegroom put the u.s.
ual question to papa, that fine soldieriy
gentleman gazed a few seconds into vacaE-
ey, then he turned his eyes on the expec-
tant lover and spoke as follows: ''There is
plenty Of in the house; come and live
with us for six months. AT the expira-
ton of that time, if you wish to marry
my daughter and she wishes to marry you,
we will order the wedding breakfast"
The breakfast has been ordered and eaten;
but if all engaged couples were put on
that sort of probation, there might be few
er marriages, while very certainly the div
orce courts would lose half their business.

FOR PEACE AMONG MIN.

l find we're almost sure to get
The full amount of misery we earn,
We then b~ewail-bewaiI, because we feel
Our own sharp weapons on their quick re-
turn.
Throughout the world, among the high and
low,
There's great complaining of reflected woe.
Men frown, then wonder that so many scowi;
They're rough, then sigh that other tongues
are foul;
They SANDER, and the SANDER is returned,
They spurn, then ponder why Is 1t they're
spurned;
They strike, and learn some blood will never
yield;
Then here we have a little battlefield.
How clearly is the corollary
They reap according to the seed they've sown.
When you confront the p%rejudicial hate,
Here IS the best way to retaliafe:
So live that ev'ry Zoe can plainly see
His hate is founded on a faisity.
When wrfthing from The words that sting and
burn,
So act that sober reason may return.
That sober season may soon prove your
friend,
And sign a peace enduring to the end

A sODA-TOUNTAIN NOVELTY.

The most startling soda-fountain novel
ty, though, is crushed violets.'' The
syrup is manufactured under a patent by
Philadelphia firm, and when served up
with the usual carbonic fzz makes a
delicately favored. sweetish drink, which
IS best described as tasting exactly as
violets smell. The secret Of the favor be-
longs to the manufacturer. 1t is not de-
rived in any way from violets-that is quite
certain. The violet, when crushed, gives
forth mont of that grateful perfume which
is somehow manufactured within the veins
of the plant and exhaled from the blossom.
None of the odor of violets is obtained
from the flowers. A distillation of their
juice gives an acrid compound of no pleas
ant odor. The perfume is all manufactur-
ed artificially and orris root is its base.
Probability orr;s root is the base also of the
fiavoring which enters into this new drink.

DON'T CARE WHAT NEWSPAPERS
SAL

Have you never met the man who doesn't
care a blank for what the newspapers may
say of him, good, bad OF Indifferent? If
you have met him, and the meeting chances
to have been when the paper of the day
has made severe mention of him, you need
not be told that he is the maddest man out
of a lunatic asylum. His contempt for
newspapers is expressed in vehement male
dictions and VOWS of yengence on the
head of the editor. Possibly you have
met him when something pleasant has
been said of him in the newspaper. He
doesn't care for such things, not he; but
Notwithstanding this indifference, you rave
observed, no doubt, that he reads the laud-
ing paragraph over and over, and audibly
wonders how the deuce those newspaper
fellows manage TO get hold of SO many
facts, and how they happen TO know so
much about him. He is pleased all over,
and gives so much outward expressions to
his satisfaction that no one would ever
imagine that he is one of the kind that
don't care a continental blank for hat the
newspapers say.

MKT TO

Miss Willard Rays: Begin to teach
temperance in the lullaby song and
he twilight evening story" The Pennsyl-
yania Bulletin contains the follow :
ing suggestion in %furtherance of this idea
A telegram comes into the house. Child
rem i'll ask numberless questions about if.
Mothers, it pays to stop, and lake time to
answer all these countless little Inquiries.
Don't finish your story until Won have told
of the wonderful telegraph system which.ex-
tends over our bodies. Tell of the fine net
work nerves upon which messages are con-
stantly being carried to and from the brain,
the central office. They must be kept soft,
like an egg, in order to keep the telegraph
apparatus in working order. Alcohol
sucks the moisture from the delicate nerve
cells, and then they do not work perfectly,
and the drinker thinks he feels better,
when the truth is he only feels less.
Mother and child are walking the street,
and notice a sign over a store. What was
it placed there for? To show what it con-
tains within. God has m ade man so that
he cannot help hang put his sign and show
to all what he keeps within. A dishonest
person will seldom look..you square in the
face: he cannot laugh full and u and
open. like the true-hearted honest man.
There are those who read character in
everything, but the tobacco user and the
drunkard hang out a sign 80 plain that all
who see may read.

NO DRfNkERs WANTED.

Nearly all railroad managers are now
agreed in prescribing strict temperance to
their employees while Oh duty. They have
TO be thus careful, for strong drink is the
cause OF moro. accidents than any other one
cause. On many roads an empIoye who is
found to frequent drinking places when of
duty soon gets a discharge. So many such
have been turned off that it is nov known
that drink is the cause of their discharge.
1t is becoming the same in lesser degree in
other ~employments where skill, nerve and
character are needed for success. Inside
of fifty years no man without capital will
be able to earn a living, except as a day
laborer, if he has drinking habits.

A few dollars inteligently expended will
provide the busy worker, hampered by old
fashioned methods, with utensils which
will save many hours Of time in a single
week. The following should be regarded
as indeper sible a patent sieve, which is a
combined scoop and measuring dish and
which costs bn, fifty cents, a press and
vegetable strainer, which mashes potatoes,
strains ~gravies, presses out jelly, and pre-
pares all sorts of vegetables for the table,
and performs a variety of other useful
services simultaneously, and which also
costs but half a dollar; a little nutmeg
crater which works with a crank; 3 patent
egg beater, a potato slicer and patent chop
per, and combined apple peeler, corer and
slieer. A II old coffee cup tea, cup, pint
bowl, tablespoons. knife fork and mixing
spoons, should always lie kept ready at
hand. In fact, the smallest compass, with
in which the cook keeps all her cooking

TALKING AT THE TABLE.

There is no end to the modes of con-
Quoting table talk as a means of child
training, and there is no end to the infiu-
ence of table talk in this direction, how
ever conducted. Indeed, it may be said
with truth that table talk is quite as likely
to be influential as a means of child train
ing when the parents have not thought OF
using it to this end, as when they seek to
use it accordingly. At every family table
there is sure to be talking, and the talk,
that is heard at the family table is sure to
have its part in a child's training, whether
the parents wish it to be so or not.
There are fathers whose table talk is
chiefly in complaint of the family cooking
or in criticism of the mothers method of
managing the household. There are
mothers who are more given to asking
where on earth their children learn to
talk and act as they do, than to inquiring
in what part of the earth the most i'm
portant archaeological discoveries are just
now in progress. And there are still more
fathers and mothers whose table talk is
wholly between themselves, except as they
turn aside, occasionally, to say sharply to
their little ones: Why don't you keep
still, children, while your father and moth
or is talking?' All this table talk has its
influence on the children. 1t leads them
to have less respect for their parents, and
less interest in the home table except as a
pl ace of satisfying their natural hunger.
1t is potent even though it be not profita-
BILE.
Table talk ought to be such in every
family. as to make the hour of home meal
time one of the most attractive as we'll as
one of the most beneficial hours of the day
to all the children. But in order to make
table talk valuable parents must have
something to talk about at the table, must
be willing to talk about it there, and must
have the children lovingly in mind as they
do their table talking.

WISE WORDS TO SCHOOL TEACHERS.

Let me warn teachers, especially young
ones, against attempting to reply to any
question by a scholar when they do not
really know what answer to give. No one
can be prepared for every question that
can be asked. The veriest fool can ask
more in five minutes than the greatest
philosopher can answer in a Lifetime. l
know the temptation is great to give a re-
ply of some sort, which may be right or
may be wrong, "for fear the scholars
should think us ignorant but the temp
tation must be battled with. The real
reason why an answer is attempted, nine
ty-nine cases cut Of a hundred, is pride,
and it is a pride which viii certainly have
a fall, for if the scholars does o know at
once that the reply was a guess, he will
remember it, and confront the teacher with
it at some most inopportune time-per-
haps quote his own words against him.
Then, indeed, will the scholar look down
upon the teacher, and probably give him
a far lower place in their regard than he
really deserves. II, however, their teacher
is generally well informed and well ahead
of them, he will not sink at all in their es-
timation if he honestly confesses that lie
cannot answer some particular question
it is generally one of fact-on the p u of
the moment. Still, he should carefully
treasure the question, and see that he OBJ
tains the correct answer to it for the very
next time he meets his class, and should
give them the reply, with any other infor-
nation about the subject he may think fit.

MEALS SPOILED.

An easy way to spoil an evening meal
is for each member to tell sad tales of
all ina has gone wrong during the day.
To mention the disappointments and vox-
atoms, tell of the Sights that were endur-
ed and the offences that were given, and
to lament over the results of this intellect
tous combination of affairs, is enough to
counterfeit the refreshing effect OF all the
good things with which the most gener-
GUS and skillful ife can load the ia
BILE. Better put this complaining off until
some other time. What is the best time
for it, is hard to say. Perhaps an indef-
mite postpenement would be a happy thing
for all concerned. Half the things that we
groan over tonight will right themselves
before tomorrow night, if we let them
