How to Attend to Blankets.

Never wash blankets Air them as often as possible. and if possible for 24 hours Shake them we'll whenever a bed is vacated, and until put back on the bed let them hang open wherever they can best get the air. Once year or less send them to the cleaner, and they will stand several years of use if treated in this way. Never turn down bed coverlets and leave the blankets ex- posed. Tho rough surface is n ready re- ceptacle for dust, etc. Blankets, no mat ter how we'll washed, become harder and heavier. Lightness, cleanliness and warmth without weight are the secrets of comfortable rest

Breuillac. president judge of the Lyons assize court, will preside over the trial of Santo.
 In speaking of his school days Santo said that had he been a better scholar he would have been better man. He eX- plained that he did not desire to convey the impression of being sorry for his crime. When questioned about his choir days he said that he had represented John the Baptist in church processions. but added II was a child then. and children unwit- tingly act stupidly." He denied being an anarchist or knowing any anarchists. He was very cool and displayed no emotion.

The Bible.

Young people are sometimes dispos.
ed to think and speak lightly of Bi'
BILE reading. One Of the most distin.
gnished journalists of the time,
Charles A. Dana, in recent address
on journalism, in answer to the ques-
ton, "What books ought journalist
to read ?" said 4:
"There are some books that are alb.
solutely indispensable to the kind of
education that we are contemplating,
and to the profession that we are con-
sidering; and of all these the indis-
pensab1e, the most useful, the one
whose knowledge is the most effective,
is the Bible. There Is no book from
which more valuable lessons can be
learned. / am considering it now not
as q religious book, but as manual OF
utility, of professional preparation,
end professional use for journalist.
There is perhaps no book whose style
Is more suggestive and more instruct
i've, from which you learn more direct
ly that sublime simplicity which never
eXaggerates, which reconts the great
est event with solemnity, of course,
but without setimentality or affectatio n
none which YOU open with such conf
dence and lay down with such rever-
ence there is no book like the Bible.

The Presbyterian.

It was through the influence of a
girls unselfishness that Vassar College
was founded.
It has been said-and if true, it Ia a
beautiful story-that niece Of Mr..
Vassar was slowly dying, and that he
loved her and spent much time in her
sick room. AS he paced up and down
before her fading eyes, she did not
talk to him about herself, but the sub
stance of her conversation was,
Uncle Matthew, when am gone do
something for women"
Over and over again the same sweet
refrain sounded in his ears: "UncIe
Matthew, Uncle Matthew do some
thing for women.
IF she had walled: "Why don't
you do something to save me ?" Vas
sar College, that has done so much for
the women of the country, might
never have existed.
In our greatest suffering, even in
mortal sickness, 1t Is still possible to
remember other sufferers and other
needs.
No one can tell what may be the
value of last impression made by
one who is about to leave loving friends
forever.
AS the conservatory is the sunny,
fragrant bower OF the rich home, so
the sick-room can be the beloved re-
treat of the household. Even terrible
pain may be divinely unseltish.
Christ's last thought upon the cross
was for other people.

A Drunkard's Brain.
st, Louis Globe-Democrdt.

II was present at an autopsy OF q
noted old FOUNDER of my town a few
weeks ago." said resident of Troy,
N. Y, recently, "and was started
and shocked at what l saw, The
dead man was about sixty years of age
and had been the town drunkard Tor
forty wears, The doctors had surmised
that when they cut his his head open a
pronounced smell of alcohol would is
sue from the skull.
II thought it only one of those grim
Jokes that Hsculapians indulge In
sometimes when they are carving a
fellowman to mince meat in the inter-
est of their science. But l soon learn
ed that it WAS no joke, for when the
surgeons saw had cut off the top OF
the mans skull the odor Of the alcohol
that filled the home room was strong
enough to almost sicken one. Then
one of the surgeons struck o match
and held it close to the brain. lmme-
diately blue flame enveloped the en-
tire portion of the cerebral organ ex-
posed, and the quivering flesh sizzled
as if on a gridiron.
THAT experiment and disclosure set
me to very serious thinking about the
error of my way. am not a temper
ance lecturer nor prohibition poll
tician, but I must most respectfully
and firmly decline your invitation to
have something. I don't want my
brain to float around in sea Of alco.
hol, as did that of the poor old town
drunkard at Troy. There is no telling
how many other mems brains will re
veal the same condition if an autopsy
is held upon them"

Have 1 preached to save souls or to
make reputation?
Have I in my daily life and in my

Instead of encouraging his sisters to
fight, he most earnestly and affection
ately sought to prevent it. Children
when they see two boys and girls
fighting, sometimes urge them on.
They seem to think it is good sport to
see brothers and sisters fight! 1t Is
a shocking sight to me. If anything
is more shocking, it is to see compa-
ny of playmates standing round shout
and urging them on. :,
How much more generous and noble
was the spirit and conduct of Joseph
How tenderly he sought to sooth and
comfort his sisters, and to make hem
love each other and he succeeded.
Heaven bless the dear generous boy
And heaven does bless him, for-"Bles-
sed are the peace-makers."
All mankind are brothers and sis.
ters: We have one Father in heaven
who loves all his children.
How shocking to see these brothers
and sisters angry with one another
and fighting, as is the case with chill
children sometimes, and with nations
when they engage in war. How hor'
! rible to see them urging one another
on in the deadly conflict! Our Father
calls to US and says, my children
live in peace ;" and yet men are often
seen shouting, and clapping, ano
stimulating each other to mutual ha
tired and slaughter!
Then the party that kills the mos
and conquers the other, exults.
They fire cannon, ring bells, cele
brate feasts, sing and dance. and walk
i'm procession, to boast and glory il
their deeds of blood and murder
Biothers and sisters stimulating on
another to deed of blood and still
more horrible. praying their commol
Father to help them to butcher on
another.

How to Deal with n QuarrelsOme
NeiehbOr.

In the summer of 1887, being at the
house of all aged friend, he related an
interesting illustration Of the proverb.
IA soft answer turneth away wrath"
which happened to himself years be-
fore.
At that time animals of various
kinds were allowed to run the roads
unattended, and were often very
troublesome. At the house of my
friend, the lane or lawn leading to the
public road was very wide, and fur
nished a supply of grass which was
tempting to the wandering cattle. He
had an unusually valuable dog, which
he had trained to drive out any stray
animals which might enter the lane,
This the dogiusually did very judicious.
ly, and without iDjuring them. But
one day, when the fences were down
from some cause, it so happened that
the oxen of near neighbor trespassed, ,
and when the dog as usual attempted
to eject them, one resisted, and at.
tackled the dog. This probably reused
the anger of the guardian of the prem
ises, and he seized the offending OK
near the tip Of the tail, and i'll the
struggle bit off small piece.
When his owner returned home
towards evening and learned what had
taken place, he was much concerned
and next day called ON the owner OF
the injured animal, who received him
rather coldly. However, after a little
general conversation, my friend spoke
of the accident, when his neighbor eX-
claimed in an excited manner, IL Will
kill that dog within week." and re-
peated the same threat. lie was q
resolute man, who generally carried
out whatever he had determined upon.
NV friend mildly reasoned with him
and said the dog was a very Valuaole
one. which he should be sorry to lose
that the dog was not to blame, for ne
had trained him to do that we're thing
keep stragglers away that, therefore
the blame must rest on himself anu
he oueried with his neighbor whether
he would kill him. NO" said the
man, II will kill YOU Well, said
NV friend, I will make three PROPOSE
tons. I have in my barn-yard twenty
or more head of cattle, fully a. good as
thine which has been injured. Ihou
may drive thy animal to my yard, and
take in exchange for it, any, one OF
mine thou may select: mo-" was the
reply, II won't do that"
"Well, then, I'll make another pro-
position. Fix thy own price on thy
OK; and whatever thou say'st 1t Is
worth, I will pay thee"
"No, I won't do that"
'Then Twill make third PROPOSE
ton, say how much injury thou thinks
the dog has done TO thy beast,-I will
leave it altogether to thee to deter.
mine-and 1 will pay for the damage"
The anger of the neighbor by this
time had abated he saw that it was
one of those accidents which happen
without any bad intention, and be re-
fused to receive any compensation,
and they parted in friendship. Thus
an incident, which easily might have
led to permanent alienation and dis
turbance of the peace of the neighbor-
hood, really tended to strengthen the
bonds of friendship and good will.-

True Manhood.

1t is not always the coat that tells,
Nor the collar your friend may wear;
It Is not only the shine of his shoe,
Nor the finished touch Of his hair.
tits not all in silken hat,
Nor the fitting neat of his gloyes;
1t is not merely his cultured air,
Nor the circle in which he moves.
1t is not his temper, his pride, nor his smile,
Nor vet his worshipful mein;
1t Is not even the name he bears
In world that Is shallow and mean.
All, no, after sill tits the man himself,
AS he stands with his God alone,
'Tis the heart that beats beneath the coat,
The life that points to the throne.
The eye that cheers with its kindly glance.

The hsnd that points to hope beyond,
'Tis loYe that endures to the last.

DR.. Jowett's Preaching.
(The Watch man,

The late DIR. Jowett's sermons were
not of a sort which conform to the
evangelical idea Of preaching. They
were, as rule, either essays on con-
duct, or obituary notices of greafmen.
In the latter he occasionally hit upon q
conceit which brought out admirably
the specific trait he wished to present.
It Is recalled that in his sermon on
Dean Stanley, speaking of the Deans
lack of desire for preferment, he said
And even If 1t had rained niters from
heaven, his head was of such shape
that not one would have been found to
fit it,"

How we are after almost nineteen

How we are after almost nineteen
centuries of experience, working on
in the old barbarious ways of killing
enemies with shot and murderous
shell! Warships cover the ocean, and
standing armies darken the lands.
Yet there is not wrong that justice
can not arbitrate, there is not all en-
emy that love cannot conquer If you
give her fair chance. There are
some of US who may be stigmatized
as "cranks," who yet believe Christ's

for his heart, and that you have never
succeeded in killing an enemy until
YOU have made him a friend.
