Farmers often take cold and It set
ties on their lungs, and finally develops
into rheumatism without their know

and kidneys are intimately connected.
No one can take cold and have it set
tie on the lungs without having it af-
feet the kidneys. If aperson thus at

cough, his kidneys fail to perform
their work which IS to take the uric
acid out of the blood. This acid final

Every man ought to know what kind
of universe he is in, what hts rela-
tions to It are, what and where in
variable conditions are imposed, what
in the nature of things Is possible and
what impossible, within what limits all
his achievements must be, and hence
what ideals he may consistently cher
ish that his work may not be in vain.
1t hardly needs to be said that neither
literature nor art nor history nor the
ology can acquaint a man with
these. Only science can do it-science
not as mass of facts, but as body OF
relations. If there be anything that
the ordinary man is markedly deficient
in, and which the best schooling has
not added to his mental equipment, it
is his failure to see the necessities OF
relation. Exercises in logic and the
study of mathematics have been sup
posed to qualify, .. man to be logical,
but'if by this is meant that for. every
effect to be- explained an adequate
cause must be assigned, then-most men
are unequal to the occasion. A.
e. Dolbear, in Popular Science Monthly.

Nensnss. in Girls.

Neatness is good thing for girl
and il she does not learn 1t when she is
young she never win. 1t takes q great
deal more neatness to make girl look
well than It does to make boy look
passable. Not because . boy, to start
with. is better looking than, girl, but
his clothes are Of different sort, not so
many colors in them; and people don't
expect boy to look 90 pretty as girl.
A girl that is not neatly dressed is
called a sloven. and no one likes to look
Mt her. Her face may be pretty. and
her eyes bright but if there's spot OF
dirt on her cheek. and her fingers ends
are black with ink, and her shoes are
not laced or buttoned-up, and her apron
is dirty. and her collar is not buttoned
and her skirt is torn, she cannot be
liked. Learn to be neat, and when you
have learned it it will almost take care

Beniamin Hammond. one of the early

story OF the times when wolves were
common in that neighborhood. One
winter they were especially numerous
and troublesome. lie set traps and
caught FIVE of the brutes. The pelts
brought fair price, and there was also
a small bocnty paid.
One winter afternoon / went out to
inspect my traps, and found the fifth
wolf caught in them. He was big
fellow and ugly enough. He showed
his teeth and leaped fiercely at me,

Waterproof shoes.

Every winter sees new idea in shoe
making to avoid wet and cold feet The
cork sole has outlived three or four in
ventions and seems very popular, but
the fashionable idea now is to have an
oil-skin lining between the uppers and
the ordinary lining. This effectually
keeps ont cold and wet, and by doing
away with all ventilation and retaining
the Precipitation a considerable amount
of warmth is acquired. The plan is
probably open to certain sanitary objec-
lions, but residents in suburban dis
tricts far removed from granitoid or
even plank walks are willing to take a
few chances in order to get downtown
with dry feet In Canada they have a
simpler and much cheaper way Of secur-
ing the same result by using very
thick sock made of wood pulp and mill
board, which requires an immense
amount of water to soak through. 1t is
doubtful whether anything but good
rubbers will pass muster from medi-
cinal standpoint. but as long as some
people have q prejudice against wearing
them, every winter will probably see
some new invention to take their place,
