Questions Of Health.

The popular notion that an athlete,
because of his athleticisTn, is healthy
man is q delusive one. Muscular deyel-
opment is not an affair Of the con-
stitution. 1t is an accident. Strong
limits and a weak heart are not in
frequently associates. Many ''strong
man" dis prcmatarely of consumption.
If health may be defined ~ capacity
for holding on to life, then, in many
eases, the weakiings are tie heaithiest.
II such i definition is accurate, woms

woman who recently died at the age of

Could such q one have ever been cor

health is, and the way in which un-

No Harm in the Fairy Tale.

''Some girls" says the Brooklyn Ea-
gle, put away their dolls and theiI
fairy books long before they wish 10
give them up, because some one says,
"You are too old for sIch things"
That is all nonsense. There are gem
inc fairy stories with no hint of a moral
which are the delight Of every one who
loves good literature. The word love
is used purposely instead of like, for
those ofUs who love literature feel that
the characters are real, and many Of
them are cherished friends. The next
time you long for fairy stories and fear
that YOU viii be laughed at, go to the
library and get Hawthorne's wonder
Book" Read il in full sight Of those
who condemn fairy tales. Coax them
10 look into it. You will probably not
be allowed to have it again for a long
time-not till the one who took it has
read it at least twice over"

Not as "Great" as he Was.

\ correspondent OF a German Journal
had lately an opportunity Of inspecting
Bismarck's bedroom, at Friedricbsruhe.
He gives n minute description of his
investigations. Among the objects
that interested him most was the
weighing machine used every morning
by the Prince as soon as he gets out Of
bed and draws on a pair of slippers.
On n table beside the machine lies a
notebook, in which he inscribes with
his own hand his weight for every day
in the year. In 1879, we are told, the
Chancellor-then in the heyday of
power-turned the scale at the respec-
table figure f2i2 pounds. Since then
he has been physically on the down
grade, for to-day he scales only 202
pounds, and appears only too anxious
to reduce the figure still further.
There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We
refer to Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
When it is kept at hand the severe
pain of burn or scald may he promptly
relieved and the sore healed in much
less time than when medicine has to
be sent for. a sprain may be promptly
treated before Inflammation sets in,
which insures cure in about one
third the time otherwise required. Cuts
and bruises should receive immediate
attention, before the parts become
swollen, and when Chamberlain's Pain
Balm is applied it will heal them with
out matter being formed, and with
out leaving scar. 4 sore throat may
be cured in one night. \ piece of
flannel dampened with this liniment
and bound on over the seat of pain,
will cure lame back or pain in the side
or chest in twenty-four hours. 1t is
the most valuable, however, for rheu-
matism. Persons afflicted with this
disease will be delighted with the
prompt relief from pain which it af-
fords, and it can be depended upon to
effect complete cure. For sale by

Feeding Whest to Hogs.

From the Western Agricuiturist-
From many parts of the West we
hear of successful results of feeding
wheat 10 domestic animals. Its value
as "A food-or cattle and horses. whether
the whole grain is fed or It's by-pro-

the present experience has confirmed
that knowledge. But the greatest good

wheat in lis place, will he the feeding
of wheat to swine. Its value here, when
the price makes it practicable, is in
calculable. We have fed too much corn
We have for many years made this
cereal the almost exclusive food for

the greatest harm resulting from this

in the grain ration, this pest would
soon cease TO be formidable.
