Weakness of the stnmaoh.

Weak digestive organs are best treated
mechanically. The patient lies down on a
cot or bed and an attendant works over
the stomach by kneading and percussion,
particularly the latter for twenty minutes,
with intervals of rest as may be agreeable.
The clothing is removed excepting one
garment. If there is soreness or tender
ness the operator adapts his treatment to
it so as not to give pain. 1t is better that
part of the time he muscles over the alb
domen be relaxed and then contracted
when the percussion is applied.
The lungs may be partly filed and the
breath held during a moment also. The
treatment is very agreeable when right
ly done, digestion is promoted and the
strength of the organ augmented. The
best time is about two or three hours after
meal time. Ifthe patient has no one to as
sist him he can do the work himself with
nearly as good results.-Exchange

Jenny Lind.

Jenny Lind, the woman, was greater
than Jenny Lind, the singer. 81 would
rather hear Jenny talk than sing-wonder-
ful as it is, wrote Mrs. Stanley, the wife
Of the bishop of Norwich, in whose palace
she great singer was guest while in that
city. The bishops son, subsequently Dean
Stanley, who had no "ear for music" and
on whom, therefore, her singing was
wholly lost, wrote that she had 'sthe man
ners of a princess with the simplicity of
child and the goodness OF an angel" Her
character showed itself, he added, through
thousand traits of humility, gentleness,
thoughtfulness. wisdom, piety."
She hooked upon her natural faculty as a
gift of God, and never sang without re-
fecting that it might be for the last time.
1T has been continued 10 me from year
to year for the geod of Others"
This feeling was no fine sentiment, but
religious principle. While she was the
bishops guest she begged Mrs. Stanley to
allow her TO take three of the maids to
concert where she was to sing
AT service in the cathedral she was
moved TO tears by the singing of the boy
SbOrlsteTs, and bSd places reserved for
them at her concert the next morning.
When she came on the platform she greeted
them with smile of recognition which
the boys never forgot
She gave to charitable objects thousands
OF pounds gained by her wonderful voice
While singing in Copenhagen, such was
the excitement that court and town begged
her to give them one more day of song. A
gentleman of musical culture had, with his
wife, snxiously looked forward TO her visit.
When she came ne was on a sick bed.
Jenny Lind heard of his desire, and found
time 10 so TO his house and sing to him
and his wife.
When she went to London Mendelssohn
asked her TO sing 70 a friend OF his who
had long lain upon bed of sickness She
went and cheered her with songs, the re-
membrsnce of which are still cherished by
the family
Again and again. when the opportunity
offered for such an act of kindness. she

Training Children.

Disorder in a child is inherent It is Just
as natural for a boy when he comes into
the house to throw his hat on one chair
and his coat on another as it is for him to
eat when he is hungry. The only way to
get him out of this bad habit is to make
him stop whatever he is doing, wien the
misdemeanor is discovered, and pick up
the hat and coat and put them in place.
He will soon remember to perform the
duty when be comes in.
Girls are quite as disorderly as boys, but
being more continually under the eve of
the mother they are more quickly trained
into thoughtful ways. The habit of tax
ing care of things should early be instilled
in children. 1t has good effect upon the
mind.
One often hears an indulgent individual
say: "Oh, don't bother the child Let her
have her own way. Her troubles will come
fast enough" Such a method carried out
is completely wrong, for it gives the child
so much suffering later in life. Self con-
troll, learned early, smooths over many
difficulties
There is no more serious work in the
world than that of training children. All
mothers do not have the art. There was a
time when the birch rod did the work.
Now it is seldom resorted to. Patience
and loving kindness are more effective
weapons. AS for the former, there should
be no end of it; the latter comes naturally.

The Burden Bearer,

It is the women who are either compelled
to assume, or who voluntarily take upon
themselves heavy burdens, and very often
life burdens, whose lives prove so pathetic
that even angels must weep over their sad
and never ending labors Misfortune pur
sues the head of the family. The sole
shield and comforter may be stricken with
disease. A daughter, it may be an aunt
stands in the breach. She is tactician, a
general; a committee of ways and means;
a counselor and sympathizer all in one.
Death does not dismay the woman who
bears the burden of the family; she forti-
fies herself anew and pursues her path
steadily, without making a sign. Disgrace
that is ten thousaudfold worse than death
may crush her in seoret-outwardly the
woman who bears the burden of a family
is as composed and courageous as though
her heart had not bled in the very bitter
ness OF hopelessness. The old are
humored; she deals plainly with them,
while the babes that whimper without
knowing why they cry are cared for with
the consideration only angels could feel
The motherieSs oneS-what they owe 10
the burden bearerl Seasons come and 60;
there may be parties, operas, plays, con-
certs, marrying and giving in marriage,
but none of these are for the woman that
bears the burden of the family Hers is
the sisters place. She looks to the well
fare and personal comfort of older and
younger brothers, or 1t may be she dis
charges oonscientiously the duties usually
assumed by a mother.
On her shoulders all burdens fall. God
on iv rnONrc 1rhu If ia ho0ouca bo is
strong, for she is frail in body. But the
accumulation is borne uncomplainingly,
until at last life can bear no more. Then,
when the woman's hands are folded in
eternal peace and rest, it dawns upon all
who should have assisted her that she has
been overtasked; that they have lost, for
ever lost, the one that bore the burdens of
the family.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

Do An Eousokeepers Agree9

The old saying, What is worth doing at
all is worth doing WELL" is taken alto
gether too literally by some of the famous
housekeepers. Teach women to slight
their work" Is rule which might be as
aptly applied as the former one, especially
when women are built to last 100 years and
die at forty rs a result of too much stove
| blacking, fine iaundrying, etc. What is
the use, because one is a housekeeper, of
forgetting the outside world and spen ling
all of the time polishing kitchen aprons
which would be just AS well unstarched,
of rolling out cookies when the hungry
children would relish it as well if the bat
ter were baked in a loaf?
How many ambitious housekeepers are
up Monday mornings at and o'clock in
the morning in order to have their wash
ing on the line before daylight. In the
first place it is only a matter of custom
that washing happens on Monday. Be-
cause our ancestors always washed Mon
day is no more reason that we should than
that we must weave our own cloth because
they did. | think Monday should be
picking up day. On Sunday things usually
become moro or less scattered about, and
so Monday is invariably the day for
strengthening out and resting up for wash
ing on Tuesday.
Then the work may be divided up for
the rest of the week proportionately, and
by the end of the week the work is done
just the same. Many will judge me lazy
housekeeper, perhaps it is fact, but /
think there is too much obstinacy shown
in clinging to old fashioned ideas of house
work.-Cor. Lewiston Journal.

The No Pocket Mystery.

Why do not women wear pocketsi John
Hamilton Reynolds, Keats friend, knew a
-ady who wore pockets she could carry
books in, but that was seventy years ago
The result of this deficiency is that woman
keeps her cards, money and other matters
in a purse which she carries about in her
hand. Where the public suffers is in ON
nibuses and at ticket Offices. Here, while
a crowd murmurs. woman wastes the
golden hour by dipping, like the swallow,
into the many compartments of her purse
where she finds various matters of personal
interest. probably, but never the proper
change.
They say that women would fain wear
the distinctively male attire. All, that she
would Then she would have her silver In
one pocket and her pence in the other, all
handy. That the kindness of the sex
IS shown by their prolonged flirtations
through the window with the ticket clerks
we all admit. That is dull life Of the
ticket clerks, and woman entertains him,
as the daughters of Ocean comforted Pro
metheus. But hurried and selfish pub.

close of the railway idyl, the Oaristys of

Webster's Income.

The legal profession of the present day
will be surprised to learn that Mr.. Web.
ster, the greatest American lawyer OF
his time, made but SIS, 900 year by his
practice. But the fees of counsel be.
tween 1910 and 1850 were not what they
have been since.
In 1s4S 1 accompanied client to Mr..
Webster's Office in Boston and asked
him to name retaining fee in an i'm
portant patent case. He said he thought
a couple of hundred dollars would do.
When the case was tried his fee was only
$1,000. On another occasion l paid him

His fee for arguing the great equity
cause of Goodyear versus Day in the cir

district of New Jersey, by which he es-
tablished the validity of the Goodyear
patent, was 5000. This was in the
spring of 1852, and was the last case be
ever argued.
His professional income from 1918 tc

Girls in vermont,s Celebration.

The most beautiful feature of Yer

high. In its lofty turret was a throne
of gold and national colors, occupied by
Miss Lille Adams, of Bennington, robed
as the Goddess of Liberty. Just below,
on the top Of the arch. were 125 girls.
selected from the public schools, clad in
pure white and with flowing hair, who
sang patriotic songs accompanied by a
cornet, as the parade passed beneath the
erchway. Below these the arm arches
were filed with maidens. bearing in
their hands banners emblazoned in gold
and colors with the various coats of

many notable ladies were present. and

A Few Rules for Mothers.

1t would seem that there are no rules to
be laid down for the discipline of children
One must study their children, and take
their heaven given tact for a guide, sacri-
fcing no principle, yielding to no artiice
to obtain desired results, but always re-
membering that we are dealing with small
editions of ourselves, frail as we were and
are frail, and that while we may bring i'm
mense power to bear on the notes in the
childish eyes. there may be. and probably
are, large sized beams in our own. "Chil-
dren are quite as often spoiled by harsh
ness as by overmuch petting," says Miss
Mulock, and it is true. Avoid nagging
children. Be as blind as possible to their
little faults
Never hold one child's virtues up to an
other child as a contrast to her own faults.
And be patient and longsuffering always.
l. E Chittenden in Housewife.

about ten times a day, or once in two hours
except when sleeping. A measure recon-
mended for an infant is two-thirds barley
water and one-third milk, with little bit
Of milk sugar to sweeten the mixture
The barley water must be boiled well and
then kept simmering at the back of the
stove. The vessel used for it should be of
earthenware or enamel, and cannot serve
for any other purpose.
The simplest way is to sterilize enough
bottles of milk 10 last the entire day and
keep them on ice until they are needed A
bottle must never be opened until it is to
be used, then put it into warm water to
bring it to the right emperature and add
the barley water and sugar.
Borax may be added to the boiling water
in which baby's bottles are cleaned, and the
nipples should lie in hot water until thor
oughly cleansed If any bowel trouble
arises prepared oatmeal may be substituted
for the barley. When the child is few
months old it may be necessary to add
teaspoonfulof of cream to each bottle of milk.
A quart of cream will be sufficient for q
week, and it must of course be sterilized
Immediately. 1t is then mixed with the
milk each day and sterilized a second time.
When the child is six months old two
thirds milk and one-third barley water is
better proportion, and when older yet
nothing but milk will be taken--New York
Recorder.
