CROSS PEOPLE.

81 believe" exclaimed bright woman one
day, "that would rather have really wicked
person in the house, if he would only be good
natured, than to live with the best one who
was cross"
This was extreme, but anyone who has ever
endured the society of an irritable companion
for many days will feel a sympathy with even
this strong statement Such companion is
species of torture.
1t sometimes seems as though almost every
duty were more forcibly impressed upon the
young than the duty of amiability. In many
quarters this virture is absolutely at disad-
vantage. The cross ones are likely to get re-
putatiOn for greater ability than the pleasant
ones. Fools, we are told, "are always amia-
ble."
We plead for reform and so pleads every
body who happened to be in certain house
in an idland town, where handsome and
fashionable young woman was stopping with an
aunt who had every claim upon her ten
derest consideration.
"Are you going out to the cliff?' the young
woman would demand of her aunt.
~ don't know yet, F" the aunt would respond,
YEARLY.

''But must wait and see how l feel after
my dinner" the invalid aunt would protest.
lift wasn't that it would be something else,
the niece would exclaim petulantly.
YOU'RE always waiting always undecided.
get so sick of it P'
The aunt bore her young charges (or super
intendent'S) vargaries almost too sweetly; but
the hateful little bicker and imprudence of the
latter were uncomfortable to the outside listeners,
before whom she took no pains to control her
self. Yet this young girl was member OF q
church. She would not have lifted her hand
against her aunt, yet she gave her daily worse
insults than physical blow.
n ole ~ 10 h11fIu
Does the mark yet discolor my cheek?
But when the heart suffers blow,
Will the pain pass as soon, do you know"
1t is to women that the poets are always Civ
ing praise for their amiability. 1t was woman
to whom belonged those.
''Sweet lips wheerupon perpetually did reign
The summer calm of golden charity"
But it is doubtful whether women are really
so equable as men. Xantippe and poor Rip s
wife are types of very large class.
1t is reasonable to expect that women should
be less amiable than men. Emerson says, "All
healthy things are sweet-tempered." 1t is
only within few years that women have be-
gun, as class, to take proper care OF their
health. Even now they are not exert in the
and more than half our women areseml-ln-
valids.
A woman's mode of dress, her diet, her in
door and monotonous life, have all been against
her. Women are more conscientious than
men. They ought to have more principle
about keeping pleasant face on; but when
the whole nervous system is ajar from lnsutfl-
cient nourishment and close air, an angel
could not always keep her temper.
1t was only she who ''felt so pretty and
pleased all day. who could not take the
trouble to be cross" When one is baffied ano
thwarted all day, crossness becomes luxury
that most women are too prone to indulge in.
But oh +! how it spoils and degrades family

will come out tonight for verbal reply"

TOWsONTOWN, DECEMBER 6,
FATE OF THE GENERAL FAvoRITE.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

'''Tis strange" said Mehitable Jones
To her neighbor, Zeruvia Barry,
"'TiS strange-I declare If it isn't!
That Nancy Terhune doesn't marry.
She's had offers enough, goodness knows;
So that doesn't furnish q reason;
And no longer she blooms as a rose,
For this is her twentieth season.
"Why, there was picnic that year
AT Farmer Terhune's, remember;
And Nancy was just seventeen,
Her birthday the first of September
And she was the life of it all,
A creature of frOlic and fancy;
And some of the girls that were there
Were nightly Jealous of Nancy.
HShe wasn't flirt or coquette,
AS ever [ could discover,
But, somehow, as soon as she'd won,
She was always right off with lover;
Yet oh, she was pleasant and kind,
With manners so easy and hearty,
We knew we should have good time
Ii Nancy was one of the party.
"And tits strange-I declare if it isn't!'
Said Mehitable Jones, rather nettled,
''That Nancy-the belle of the place
Wasn't long ago married and settled!
Shes nigh on TO forty, you know.
And with young folks no longer should mingle
But she laughs with our girls and our boys.
Who rejoice that she still remains SINGLE"
81 see how 1t is''-with a nod
Said her neighbOr, Zeruvia Barry;
"The general favorite's the one
You'll find the least likely to marry.
And though she may be very oft
By matchmaking parties berated.
She'll be missed very, Gerry much more
Than her sisters-the married and mated"

How to Elude the Doctor.

A popular physician was recently called on
by friend, to whom, in the course OF CONVEX
sation, he said; There are ten simple pre-
cautions which form an excellent rule of life,
and if people would but observe then | should
have to resort to some other means making
livelihood" Then he enumerated the follow
ing: Don't read in the street cars or others
ioiting vehicles Don't pick the teeth with
pins or other hard substance. Don't neglect
any opportunity to insure a variety OF food.
Don't eat or drink hot and cold things immed-
iatelty in succession. Don't pamper the ap--
petite with such variety eff food that may lead
to excess. Don't read, write or do any delicate
work unless receiving light from the left side.
Don't direct special mental or physical ener-
gies to more than eight hours work in each
Don't keep the parlor dark if you value your
own and your children's health. Don't delude
yourself into the belief that you are an excep--
ton so far as sleep is concerned; the nominal
average of sleep is eight hours Don't endeav-
or to rest the mind by absolute inactivity, let
it rest in work in other channels, and thus
rest the tired part of the brain.

The Little Busy Earthworm.


The earthworm has been growing in impor-
tance since Darwin first called the attention OF
the British public to its merits. 1t has been
shown to perform in New Zealand and in some
other countries the same useful functions in
draining leveling, and renovating the soil that
it performs in this country. Professor Drum
mond held, however, that in tropical Africa
its place was taken by the white ant. The
claims of this rival are disputed in the current
number of the Ken Bulletin by Mr.. Alvan Mill
son, who has sought to restore our faith in the
fertilizing effects of the work of the worm:
According to Mr.. Millson the rapid rotation OF
crops in certain districts of Yornbaland is rem
dered possible solely by the labours of the An
nelids, whose united efforts in the movement
of So, ,233 tons of subsoil on each square mile
every year. Apparently the assistance to
agriculture is not the only benefit which these
creatures confer upon the inhabitants of Yorn-
baland, for it is suggested that the thorough
ventilation of the soil is q decided hindrance
to the growth of malarial germs.

Something About Patent Medicines.
Medical Record.

These firms of manufacturers of proprietary
medicines, nine out of ten, live solely by the
newspapers, and sometimes are admirably
managed. l know some establishments in
which there is a regular staff employed. l
know something about them, because they try
to bribe me to certify to the value of their con-
coctions. AS say there is a regular staff.
There is the literary man, who writes the let
ters, giving marvellous accounts of marvellous
cures; there is the artist, who shows the pa
tient before and after taking twenty-five bottles
of the medicine; there is the poet, who COM
poses poems upon the subject; there is the liar.
who swears to what he knows isn't true, and
the forger, who produces testimonials from
his own imagination. Without exaggeration l
should say that nine out of ten of these pro-
priety medicines are frauds, pure and simple

pretty sure if were to pound up brickbats and
spend 100000 in offering it at 81 an ounce as
sure cure for some disease which cannot be
cured, should get back at least $40, 900, thus

of the medicines sent out in his fashion have
no more curative properties than brickbat

Here is Something Worth Knowing.
t London Truth.

A few days ago I was standing by an Ameri-
can gentleman, when l expressed wish to
know which point was the north. He at once
pulled out his watch, looked at it, and pointed
to the north. asked him whether he had a
compass attached to his watch. "All watches,
he replied. "are compasses." Then he explain
ed to me how this was. Point the hour hand
to the sun and the south is exactly half way
between the hour and the figure XII on the
watch. For instance, suppose that is 1t four
o'clock. Point the hand indicating four to the
sun and II on the watch Is exactly south:
Suppose that it is eight o'clock, point the hand
indicating eight to the sun, and the figure X
on the watch is due south. My American
friend was quite surprised that did not know
this Thinking that very possibly was ignor-
ant of thing that every one else knew, and
happening to meet Mr.. Stanley, asked that
eminent traveller whether he was aware of this
simple mode of discovering the points of the
compass. He said that he had never heard Of
it. presume, therefore that the world is in
the same state of ignorance. Amalfi is proud
of having been the home of the inventor of the
compass. 1 do not know what town boasts Of
my American friend as citizen.

How a Nickel Can be Made to Grow.

Some time ago the Ladies' Aid Society agreed
to invest nickel in some kind of article and
sell it at a profit and reinvest it in something
else, and so on, to speculate on this capital for
two weeks and see how much each one could
meeting bought cabbage with her nickel.
She carried it home and sold half of it to her
neighbor for nickel. She invested that in
vinegar and picked the remaining half and
sold the pickle for 25 cents. She then bought
20 cents worth of cloth and a spool of thread
and made it up into three aprons which she
bought molasses and gave a candy pulling to
the children, making them pay 10 cents plate
for the candy. The molasses made twenty-one
plates of candy so she made $2.10 on one
nickel in two weeks time. How money will
grow if properly used.

CAMPHOR AND THE GRIP,
1t Is Said to Have an Invaluable Infiu-

According to Hahnemann, says Medical
Classics. the alcoholic tincture of camphor, il
used in frequently repeated doses, will not only
shorten, but also take down the violence of an
attack Of infiammatory influenza provided the
drug is taken at the very onset of the disease.
Although we do not feel justified in posi-
lively asserting that camphor has preventive
action in influenza, We do feel justified, from
our experience in over one hundred cases
which have come under our care within tile
past three or four weeks, in the emphatic as
sertion that camphor has an invaluable inhu-
ence in controlling the disease
1--WE have again and again. in case after case,
observed its power. and especially when
conjolned with aconite and antimony.
Ii taken in the preliminary stage, as
soon as the first indications of chilliness,
nervousness, aching and prostration are felt

and anti-spasmodic. 1t is irritating to the

cised in its administration.
Its effects differ with the individual Doses
