Sick Men.

One might smile, were it not so pitt
able, to see the Impotence with which
strong, active man succumbs to the
necessity of lying few weeks on a
bed of sickness; the petulence which
men in vain try to smother, at pills and
potions, in place of their favorite dish
or drink or cigar; the many orders they
give and countermand, in the same
breath, to the wife and mother, who
calmly accepts all this as part of her
woman lot, and who dare not, for the
life of her, smile at the fuss this Gagged
lion is making, because his rations are
cut off for few days. This being
sick patiently" is lesson we think
man has yet to learn; but it is good
thing that 1.-The lords of creation" are
sometimes laid on the shelf awhile,
that they may better appreciate the
cheerful endurance with which the
feet wife-mother bears the household
cares all the same-on the pillow where
lies with her the newly born. Pain
and weakness never interrupt her con-
slant, careful forethought for her fam
lily. Husbands are too apt to take
these everyday heroisms as matters of
course. Therefore, we say again, it is
we'll sometimes that their attention
should be awakened to it, when the
doctor has vetoed for them for a while
the office and the counting-room, and
they are childishly frantic at cruel and
closed blinds. N. Y. Ledger.

Heroism In Plain Dress.

At one moment in the battle of Wa
terloo Wellington was left alone, his
aides-de-camp having all been sent
with messages to different parts of the
field. He was sorely in need of a mes
senger, and looked around anxiously,
when gentleman in plain clothes rode
up to him, saying: Can l be of any
use, sir?"
Wellington, looking him over, said:
Eyes. Take this note to the command
ing officer over there" pointing to a
part of the field where the battle was
hot and fierce. The gentleman at once
galloped off, rode through the thick of
the fight, and delivered the note.
After the battle the duke made long
and anxious inquiry, but he never
found out to whom he was indebted
for that special service.
II consider it, D." said he, in telling the
anecdote to Lord Shaftesbury, zone of
the most gallant deeds that ever came
under my notice, for the gentleman
who did it could have had no prospect

S0urcea nf the Grin.

One of the fruitful sources of la
grippe, and of many other troubles,
says well known physician, is the
carelessness which people display with
regard to preserving something like
uniform degree of heat The system of
heating some rooms and offices can not
be too strongly condemned. BY the
quantity of steam used the temperature
in the room is allowed to rise something
less than ninety degrees, and then a
man in sweat, after working under
such conditions, rushes into the street
where the thermometer is at forty de-
grees Since the peculiar conditions in
the matter of atmosphere and heated
rooms can not be well altered, the least
a careful man can do is to protect him
self against the sudden changes of
which l have spoken. 1t is not enough
to wrap we'll up and wear big coat
One should also take steps to prevent
the cold current of air rushing through
the mouth. 1t is always best to breathe
through the nose, for then the air grad
ually heats before it reaches the lungs.

Honey in its best estate, is not pure
sweet and consequently is open to
greater objections than free sugar The
bees are not very nice in their habits
and gather their store in all sorts of
places, sometimes lowering over that
which is very loathsome and unclean.
In gathering the nectar from flowers,
the bee rubs off more or less of the
pollen and carries it home with him
and deposits it with the honey. If the
pollen happens to be poisonous, the
honey is poisoned. At Trezibond, Tur-
key, poisonous flowers abound so that
the honey at that point is always poi
sonous. Further the bee always puts
in certain quantity of poison from the
poison bag, formic acid, to preserve the
honey. If the bees are very much dis
turbed while at their work they inject
an unusual amount of this formic acid
into their product and so the honey be-
comes rank. A person who eats rank"
honey will be taken sick and likely
break out with rash similar to nettle
rash, formic acid being the poison in
both instances. These facts have all
been determined by scientific investi-
cations. DIR J. II. kellogg.

Ignorance in the orchard.

Ignorance is at the bottom of most
fruit failures. The sons of ignorant
fruit growers learn little from their
fathers-except as they learn to hate
learning. Some day we may have
schools for fruit culture. Why not in
deed? If fruit growing or farming are
to be professions, why should not boys
be trained for the work they are TO en-
gage in? They certainly fail to get
suitable learning now. The cutting
away of large limbs of fruit trees is
murdcrous work. There would be no
occasion for it. in case the trees are
properly pruned when small When
large limbs must be cut away the
stumps should be coated to protect the
exposed wood. One aim in pruning
should be to have the fruit grow on
large limbs, and not at the extremities
of small limbs, where the wind has full
sway to snap it off. 1adicious pruning
will secure this result to a certain ex-
! tent,-Colman's Rural World.

'It's simply the grip, Mr.. Bowser.
That's exactly the way everybody is
taken. Hadn't you better exercise
little will power?"
Mr.. Bowser looked at her reproach-
fully and shivered and shook.
Curious how it took hold of a man
of your strength of character" she con.
tinued as she got his shoes off.
Mr.. Bowser's chin began to culver in
a suspicious manner and she said no
more on the subject He had been put
to bed and was groaning and SILVER
ing when the doctor came in.
"Well, your ear has been pulled
down, l see," remarked the doctor, as
he rubbed his hands together in a
cheerful way. "IIave you tried to
throw it off by strength Of will?"
IL suspect it's pneumonia, replied
Mr.. Bowser.
"Well, don't. It's grip-just grip"
Sand I'm sick enough to diev'
"Pshaw, man! you have got mild
attack-about as the babies have it. If
you had it as bad as your wife did l
should feel very anxious Just keep
quiet and take this medicine every two
hours"
"How many weeks will I be in tho
house?"
weeks? Why, you can go out to-
morrow if you feel like it. Better get
up after supper and walk around. It's
a wonder to me that such a slight at.
tack brought you home"
But Mr.. Bowser's back-ache grew
worse, and when the chill finally went
off he was out of his head most of the
time with the fever. During Mrs.
Bowser's sickest night he had gone IL
bed to sleep and snore and rest undis
turbed by her means. She had to sill
| up with him, of course. He wanted
vichy water, lemonade, water, gin.
ger ale, pickles, tea, toast and dozen
other things, and he seemed to take
solid comfort in keeping up grooming
so doleful that it finally stopped the
clock.
The doctor returned in the morning
to find Mr.. Bowser's pulse jumping, hi'
tongue covered with fur and his thr pa
almost raw, but he expressed his great
surprise that he had not gone to the
Office. He encouraged him to get w
and go down cellar and upstairs bu
