How Do You Look at 1t !

There are two ways of looking at
work, by man who is earning wages,
or who is having salary; and his prac-
teal efficiency depends largely upon
which view of his work is taken by
him. One man looks at what he gets
for his work, and the other man looks
at what he gives for his pay. In other
words, one man looks at his selfish in
terest in the matter, and the other man
looks at his Efficiency in his place. 1t
is all right for man to consider before
he begins TO work whether he can afford
to be in that place at the pay that he is
to receive there; but when he is once
in the place, the duties of the place
ought to be more prominent in his
thoughts than the pay he receives in
that place. Otherwise he is, at the
best, mere hireling; and lie must sub
NIT to being reckoned such by his en-
ployer. 1t matters not whether he be
a blacksmith's assistant, a farmers
helper, a merchants clerk, pastor, or
college president, if he is careful to
get full pay for all that he does, and
not to do more than he is paid for, he is
poor man for his place, and he is sure
w ihdhC tiIlo huOMu " luOSt WHO are
over him. A man to be worth his sal
airy. or his wages, or his " sali,n must
want to give more for his pay than he
agreed to give; and only the man who
does this will be valued even at his
cash value. 1t is the man, in any DO.
sition, who is sure to do more than he
is paid for, who shows himself worth
more than he receives, and so is adj
vanced correspondingly in position and
in pay. The man who fears he is Civ
ing more for his pay than he agreed to,
and who scrimps or sights his work in
consequence, is pretty sure to make his
employer think that he is giving less
for his pay than he ought to give. He
who wants an advance in his position
and his pay, must see to it that he adj
vances in his work in his position at its
present pay.-Erchange.

Advantage of Being Bareheaded.

A correspondent complains that he can
not take his walks abroad with his head
uncovered without being exposed to gbes
and flouts and sneers and being treated as
lunatic And yet" he asks, "who but
the halter would suffer by the almost com
plete disuse of the hatp The advantages
would be many; we should entirely avoid
badness (Which our hats induce; our
heads would be AS cool as our faces (Which

Don't Crowd Your Children.

The infant opens its eyes upon earth
endowed from the first with the restless
haste inherited from its parents. Its
hours of repose are fitful, and those of
its awakening fretful and unsatsfied.
AS soon as it shows signs of intelligence
some fondly proud relative urges it on
to precocity, and its every act is told of
as something uncommon. AT an early
age it is put into school where the
crowding process is begun aud kept up
until generally the physical system is
debilitated. And when school days are
ended either by graduation, or by de-
sire to join the army of bread winners,
our boys and girls are showed off the
shore of youth, into life's stream, to
battle with the breakers as best they
may, too often without any knowledge
of how to manage a rudder or set a
brake. Those thing are not taught in
our schools. Some succeed in learning
how to live, but the majority simply
content themselves with mere exist
ence.-Rural Life.

Cold Bathing in the Morning.

Cold bathing in the early morning is
beneficial only to those persons who
have sufficient vital energy and ner-
vous force to insure good reaction with
no subsequent languor or lassitude.
Many persons who are greatly refreshed
by their morning bath feel tired or
languid two or three hours after it..
When this occurs, it is conclusive evil
dence against the practice. Persons
who have an abundance of blood and
esh, who are Emphatic or sluggish in
temperament, and whose nervous force
is not depleted, can take the cold morn
ing bath to advantage. Others who are
inclined to be thin in flesh, whose
hands and feet become cold and clammy
on slight provocation, who digest food
slowly, and assimilate it with difficulty,
who are nervous and who carry large
mental burdens, should avoid early
morning bathing. For all such, the
bath at MONDAY or before retiring at
night is far more desirable, and it should
be followed by rest of body and brain
until equable conditions of circulation
are re-established. Some individuals,
who are weak in nervous power, have
such excitable peripheral nerves that
they get at once a perfect reaction from
cool bathing, but lose in after. fleets
more than the value of the bath. This

Buying an Arabian Horse.

Covering Old Blankets.

Almost all housekeepers have a store
of blankets which, having been in use
many years, have become thin and yell
low from washing. They would make
most useful summer coverings, but for
the ugly color. Now very little ex-
pense will make them decidedly pretty
and an addition to ones comfort on
cool nights, not to be too much COM
mended. Get enough cheese-cloth,
pale blue or pink, to cover the blanket
on both sides, some blue or pink zephyr
wool to buttonhole the edges, and tie
the cover through the blanket, inter-
lining from side to side, and you have
all you need except a big darning-
needle. Run the widths of cheese
cloth together till they form two pieces
little larger than the blanket, turn in
the edges and buttonhole the three
thicknesses together all around the
square with stitches half an inch apart.
Next thread the darning needle with
the zephyr doubled, and put through
from one side to the other and back
again, tying the wool in light knot
and leaving short fluffy ends to form a
tiny tassel at equal distances in squares
all over the cover. They are prettily
made of contrasting colors, pink one
side and blue the other, and also of
dark red cheese cloth tied with black
wool. The most inexperienced person
can make them.-Mdria Pendleton Ken.

For Tired Feet.

How many times we hear housekeep-
ers say: G. could stand the work well
enough if my feet did not get so tiredl"
If people who are troubled with tired
feet could know the relief that comes
from the use of cushions placed in front
of the table where they stand when
dishes are washed or vegetables pre-
pared, they would provide themselves
with one or more of these pads at once.
They can be made with several thick
nesses of old cloth, baggng, carpet
lining or horse-blanket stitched to-
gether and covered with old carpet or
drugget, the edges turned in and over
handed, and the whole then tackled like
comfortable. Hang it up by two
loops when not in use, to keep the
edges from curling up. In fact, to pre-
vent this it is not bad plan to have it
oblong in shape.-Albany Cultivator.
