A Few Rules in Business.

When a man pays you money be
sure to count it in his presence; other
wise a mistake may cause trouble,
confusion, and hard feeling. When
you pay man money require him
to count it before he leaves you, and
then there can be no danger of mistak-
es and no room for dishonesty. When
a man seems unwilling to furnish a
receipt for money paid, you will be
wise to require it of him, and put 1t
carefully away. If you want to re-
main on friendly terms with your
friend, don't loan him money without
requiring the security you would ask
from stranger. When a man
borrows money of you to pay of
another, who is pressing him, you
will probably never gel it back. When
you become security on note, bond,
or other paper, you need to see that
it is settled when due, or it may turn
up at an unexpected and inconvenient
season for you to pay it. Live within
your income, and then you will not
have occasion to borrow, or 60 in
debt. Pay as you 60, and you will
not be dunned with bills, nor threaten
ed with suits.

Sad Fate Of CameIs in War.

One of the horrors of war consists
in the cruel sufferings inflicted on
horses, camels. and other animals.
The recent Chitral expedition in India
has resulted in great mortality
amongst the overburdened camels. Of
these animals an Indianiofficer writes,
"There is frequently no time for graz
ing on the march. Of course there
can be no halting; full rstarving, the
unhappy beasts, strung nose to tail in
one long line, must struggle on till
the camping ground is reached, often
too late for their, drivers, after remov-
ing their burdens, to take them out
to feed. I have seen hundreds of cam
els sink! down when relieved of their
loads, which they had borne for
nine or ten hours at a stretch. and die
of hunger and fatigue, or fall dead
on the march, leaving their burdens to
be piled on the backs of their already
overweighed companions" During
the second Afghan War the Bengal
army alone lost 1000 camels, besides a
large number belonging to the Govern
ment. The mortality among mules
and horses has to be added to this.

A Difference Of Prayer.

There is life in man which the
senses cannot comprehend, no phys.
lcal science measure its height and
its depth. Before all things it is
personal, conscious, secret, turned TO-
ward the invisible, at home in eternl'
ty. It's very essence is communion
with the Supreme and it prays be-
cause it loves. I do not envy the
mortal VINO has never known its
influence. And I am certain that SO
long as physics and metaphysics
take realities into their consideration.
and are willing to be guided by the
testimony of the spirit to its own
experiences, the life of devout prayer
will be acknowledged as the only one
which secures what is best worth hav-
ing.
Unless the Eternal can speak to US
and we to Him, all saints, poets, reli-
gious-minded have been victims OF
delusion. But the spiritual life is too
deeply rooted, and its effects are too
momentous and beneficient for delu-
sion to be the true account of it. Moral
rectitude is theessence of civilization
and prayer is the normal method upon
which that rectitrde has been stayed
up since man came to know that he
had conscience. Herein is the surest
benefit and its most abundant reward.
How can a science dealing with mere
phenomeon, or criticism that begins
by overlooking the facts that it has
to explain, satisfy the reason? By
what arguments will it win the heart ?
This however, is the whole man, to
whose inward sense at last every
system must appeal.

Suggestions to Children.

Reverence your parents. Always
address them in respectful language.
Slang terms that would bring them in-
to disrespect with others are offensive.
s"The governor" the old man." 1.-THE
boss,n are terms of disrespect. Your
heart may not be so course toward
them, and think such expressions only
add spirit to your conversation, out
you are working evil to yourself.
Honoring your parents secures coos
favor. 80,
Appreciate your parents. You will
never understand how much they
have done for you till it is too late for
YOU duly to show your appreciation.
You will never find any other
friends WHO will care for you and cling
to you in evil fortune as your parents.
They may not have worldly renown,
but they deserve your homage. Your
best blood you receive from them.
Do not shorten childhood by haste.
Muturity will come only too soon.
Childhood is your probation for life.
Extend it, and make the most of it.
Confide in your parents. Your most
sacred and your most dangerous secrets
are safer with your parents than
anywhere else. Never conceal any
habit or course of action from them.
If you cannot trust it with your moth
er it has no right in your bosom. II
you would blush to tell her you should
blush to know it.
Never read a book you would not
show your parents.

frequently. Soon it will be impossible.

How to Cure Meat.

DR.. Irby, of Laurens, cures the finest
hams we ever tasted, and they have q
Statewide reputation. They are cured
after the old ante-bellum Virginia fash
ion. The Doctor says to save meat you
must use coarse Liverpool salt, for the
American salt won't answer if the
weather turns warm. DR.. Irby trims
his hams and joints close, when they
are thoroughly salted. About March
he covers each ham with thin coating
of molasses, and then sprinkles black
pepper over them. When smoked, the
molasses and pepper seem to enter the
meat and impart a delicious flavor
Besides, they exclude all insects. Dc
not cover the skin, but only the por,
tions of the ham that have been cut.
If you try this recipe, and use coarse
Liverpool salt you will never lose your
meat, unless the weather turns of
warm and rainy after killing.

A cement for broken china and glass
which an English paper gives may be

water, add plaster of paris sufficient to
form thick paste. and apply with a

Danger comes from unenlighten-
ment. Some of the greatest crimes of
history, such as the Inquistion, were
due to the prickings of conscience
quickened but not enlightened.
Commop-sense religion is not a spas
modic affair; it is a steady, prayer
full, and cheerful observance of Gods
commands. 1t teaches that character
is an achievement, not a gift.
"What are the things that touch us
most as we look back through the

i The utter insufficiency of any pro-
posed substitute for religion In the
training of children has often been
shown as we'll by experience as by
reasoning. But We can recall no ex-.
emplification of the truth so emphatic
as the one furnished in the case Of the
late critic and philosopher, the eminent
az. Taine, of whom it is said that, hav-,
itig sat at the feet of the modern teach
ers, he grew up to manhood in the pos
session of moral principles, ethlca5
rules, theory of the universe, ana ail

self to think about; but time came
when he had children who had to be
reared and instructed. After mature
consideration, Taine joined the Luther
an Church, had his daughters brought
up in its precepts, and, probably more
for their sakes than his own, lived,
died, and was buried in its commun-
ion. In conversation just before the
initial step, Taine said that he felt very
keenly that philosophy which would
explain the universe even more COM
pletely than his own would not CORE,
spond, on that account. to the actual
needs of social life. Modern science

does, that every sin will bring its

Nemesis? Napoleon said that if there
were no Supreme Being, it would be
necessary to invent one. Even at this
late day, with evolution excepted,
Taine's action shows that if there were
no religion it would be necessary to
find one. The cold air of scientific
distractions is one in which few can
live and breathe, and the riddle of the
painful earth can be faced by few un-
aided. -.

There are some flowers that give
their sweetest perfumes after sunset,
when the night dews are falling. The
true religious life is like these. A
heart really based upon God and at
rest in Him never breathes forth
such fragrant and strong. perfumes
as in the darkness of sorrow.
The ability to recognize sin, and the
ability to fear it and shun it, when re-
cognized, are the two great boons this
Christian religion gives US, if we truly
and heartily embrace it.

No Denominations In Heaven.
John Wesley is said once in dream
to have found himself at the gate OF
the place of woe, through which multi
tudes were passing, and he asked the
porter who they were. Were there
Catholics going in there? Plenty OF
of them. Were there Presbyterians
Plenty of them. Were there Baptists?
Plenty of them. Were there Wesley
ans? Plenty of them. Then. in his
dream, he was suddenly at the gate OF
Heaven, when he asked the porter ear
nestly: Are there many Wesleyans
inside? Not one. What! are there
many Baptists? Not one. Who, then,
Presbyterians? Not one. Then who
are inside? Only Christians.

Foolish n Practice, and Save

The custom, prevalent among physi-
cians,' as we'll as the laity, of tightly
bandaging or tying up the eye as soon
as it becomes inflamed or sore, is bad
one. The effect upon the eye is bad.
1t precludes the free access and benefi-
cial effects of the cool air, and at the
same time prevents or greatly retards
free egress of the hot tears and morbid
secretions of the inflamed conjunctivo
or cornea, or both. In those cases,
too, where foreign substance has got
into the eye, the bandage (Which is us
ually clapped on first thing presses the
lids more closely against the ball and
thus increases the pain and discomfort
by augmenting the lacerations caused
by the foreign body. This cannot fail
to be harmful. In those cases where

gan neatly fitted shade, which, while
it excludes the light, allows the free
