Twenty years ago if any one had
claimed that day would come when
there would be no cholera, no typhus,
no yellow fever, no smallpox, no scar
latina, in the world, his claim would
have been received with smile of in
credulity. Yet since the discoveries Of
the microbists there is nothing to pre-
vent such u state of things being real
lied. We can stamp out all these and
like maladies by strict application OF
the laws of hygiene. In some great
cities they have introduced apparatus
for sterilization, and organized a de-
partment of disinfection, but what is
yet required Is the instruction of the
people on these subjects. No greater
benefit can be rendered to humanity
than to spread everywhere instruction
that, by proper hygienic treatment of
the body, of clothing, and of dwellings,
all the noXious maladies of which |
have spoken can he stamped out-Dr.
Beauregard, in Revue Pedagogique,
Paris, October.

Love q Positive Force.
N. Y. Advocate.

If any one should say,I"I have met
one who had wronged me, and have
passed him on the street unnoticed
to-day: wish him no i'll, but cannot
have anything to do with him, "this
in all probability, would not be jen-
uine charity. This would not be that
love that is the underlying principle
of the golden rule" True charity
not only "thinketh no evil" but Is
always kind that is never fails to
seek the good of another. Love has a
positive side. 1t requires US to hold
the righteous attitude toward those
who may have injured US, or who
fancy that they have been ill.treated
by US.
Love does not leave for any stateliness
of manner toward such persons, but
leads US to ask what can be done
to restore friendship. This love, the
touchstone of Christian character, is
often subject to severe tests. For ex-
ample, we may be prohibited by an
other from making kindly advances.
What course is to be persued in such a
case by us: Manifestly we are not to
rush forward in an unconsiderate way.
This would probably defeat our loving
purpose. Love "suffereth long,"
Rather let us be patient. Time may
he necessary to remove the occasion OF
the difference.

A Toad Story.
BY ETHEL c. JONES

When I tell this story my hearers
listen with interest until I finish, and
then look at me and at one another
in a very knowing way, as though
they said "You may fool others, but
you cannot make us believe it."
However, if I tell you l saw it, you
will believe me, hope.
My uncle and sister and I were
out in the garden one day watching a
little toad, and my uncle took o twig
aid very. very gently scratched first
Oh one side Of the toad then on the
other. The toad evidently enjoyed it,
for he would roll slowly from side to
side and blink very expressively. l
took the twig and did as my uncle
had done. If, thought I, he roll from
side to side rs I touch him, what
would lie do if I run the twig down
his back? did SO and what do you
thiuk happened? His skin, which
was thin and dirty, parted in a neat
little seam, showing a bright new
coat below and then my quiet little
toad showed his knowledge, for he
gently and carefully pulled off his
outer skin, taking it off the body and
legs first, and then blinking it over
his eyes, tiIl--where had it gone? He
had rolled it in ball, and swallowed

Thos. f. Baker, for four years Pay
ing Teller of of the Consolidated Ma.
ti0nal Bank of Philadelphia, is under
arrest for stealing forty-seven thou
sand dollars. He has been with the
bank for twenty-seven years. His
salary was eighteen hundred dollars a

was good. He is not known to have
gambled, drunk, or been guilty Of

makes the difference between solven-

1t is a Christian grace to have pleas.
ant and affectionate Thoughts about
men, to rejoice in their excellencies,
and charitably to forget, as far as may
be, shortcomings. 1t is the attribute
of pure and beautiful nature to have
an eye quick to discern, and a warm
heart to honor, all this is fair and
bright and generous in human nature.
The words which discourage the char
ity that "thinketh no evil" and give
keenness, if not malignity, to the dis
covery of imperfection, are corrupt
and unwholesome they are not to be
spoken by ourselves, and not to be
listened to when spoken by others.

GRAINS.

No man ever became extremely
wicked all at once.
Speak fair words and you willalways
hear kind echoes.
The best way to keep good acts in
memory is to refresh them with new.
A discontented spirit makes the way
of life seem hard and long.
We should always conduct oursel-
YES towards our enemy as If he were
one day to be our friend.
It is not one tremendous ofort that
will make us good but constant sue
cession of struggles with little sins.
Tt is not until we have passed
through the furnace that we are able
to know how much dross there Is in
our composition.
He that breaches the gospel Of good
hard sense has an important mission
to fill.
Some men are more careless about
the company they keep than they are
of the breed of their dogs.
The true road to wealth-make all
you can, honestly, and spend less
than you make.
The more true religion a man puts
in bis business, the better, nobler and
more permanent is his success.
We love God because he first loved
US; and we love God the more dearly
because he has prompted one Of his
dearly loved ones to love us also.
If O man should register all his
opinions upon love, politics, religion
literature, ETC., beginning from his
youth, and so 60 on to old age. what
a bundle of inconsistencies and con.
tradictions would appear at last.
Whatever else may fail, be sure
that Gods everlasting love will not
fail. He he is with you in all your
struggles against sin, in your search
for truth, in your woes and griefs, and
loneliness and trials.
ALL the peace ald favor Of the
world cannot calm o troubled heart;
but where the peace is which Christ
gives, all the trouble and disquiet of
the world cannot disturb 1t. All out
ward distress to such mind is but as
the rattling of the hail upon the tiles
to him that sits within the house at
sumptuous banquet.
We must do at once, and with our
might, the merciful deed that our hand
findeth to do, else 1t will never be
done, for the hand will find other
tasks, and the arrears fall through.
And every unconsummated good feel
ing, every unfulfilled purpose, that
his Spirit has prompted, shall one
day charge us as faithless and re-
creant before God.

A Few Eye DOn'ts.
Don't allow cold wind to strike the
eyes.
Don't try to do eye work with the
light shining in the face.
Don't have colored shades on the
lamps; use white or ground glass.
Don't go directly from d warm room
into a cold, raw atmosphere.
Don't open the eyes under water in
bathing, especially in salt water.
Don't let any strong light, like that
from electricity, shine directly into the
eyes.
Don't strain tn e eyes by reading,
sewing, or any like occupation, with
All imperfect light.
Don't bathe intlamed eyes with cold
water; that which is a. warm as it can
be borne is better.
Don't sleep opposite a window, in
such manner that a STRONG light will
strike the eyes on awakening.
Don't, above all, have the children
sleep so that the morning sun shall
shine in their faces to arouse them.
Don't expect to get another pair OF
eyes when these have been destroyed
by neglect or i'll use but give them
fair Treatment, and they will serve
faithfully to the eno.--Good House
