But few days ago, in visiting the

planted in sod for many years, had last
spring a small strip Of land plowed

HOW THE PIGS GOT THE PLUMs.

once lived on farm i'm the western
part of Illinois. My father owned a
great many fruit trees, but the finest
fruit on the farm grew on a plum tree
which stood in the centre of Il small
meadow. in which few of the hogs
were wont To run. There were few
other trees in the meadow, and alto
getlrer it made a very nice pace TO be
in on warm day.
One morning. when the plums We're
ut their best my mother gave me q
small basket and asked me to go
down to the tree and fill it. The tree
was loaded with the bright red plums.
and l soon filed my basket, and then
sat down on the grass under a large
shady tree TO eat some Of tl,e delicious
fruit.
Soon / heard gruff Ugh! Ugh."
followed by the falling OF Il perfect
shower Of plums from the tree. Quick
ly turning, / saw six large hogs stand
ing under the tree quietly munching
the fruit and racking the pits between
their teeth.
Having consumed all The plums on
the ground, one old hog, that seemed
TO be the leader, went up to the tree.

"Wby is hard bed any better than 3
sofG one if person sleeps in the correct
position ?" was the next question.
''For several reasons" answered the
other girl. "Sleeping oa hard bed is
undoubtedly better for the figure, for it
hardens the muscles and keeps the body
straight. A soft bed is enervating, par
ticulary in warm weather. 1t embraces
the figure and more of the body is
heated. Women have another wretched
habit. They sleep under too heavy
coverings. The heat generated softens
the muscles, and the weight and pressure
interfere with skin circulation. The body
demands certain amount of air, which
is kept away by the use of too thick and
too weighty coverings. Warmth can be
obtained without weight, and this custom
Of going to sleep under load Of blankets
and quilts is all matter of habit.
Sleeping in temperate degree is not
only much more healthful, but 1t also
keeps one from dreaming"

that you cannot perceive any change for
some time. 1t will take little while to
get in the habit of sleeping correctly, but
at the end of year you won't know your
self. You'll never hear Hold up your
shoulders! then, and at the end Of a year
and half you will look as il you had
been made over again. I've had many
friends and acquaintances bring about
marvellous changes in their appearance
by following out what I've told you in
regard to their bed, position, covering
and the temperature of the room. One
woman who has known me since was a
child, and saw me grow from a steoped,
gawky, awkward girl into all, graceful
womanhood, asked me if good fairy
had touched me with magic wand. I
told her that little self sacrifice on my
part had wrought the change and not a
fairy, and then l explained just what l
had done.
81 know Of another girl who was much
more stopped than you are, and hardly a
night passed over her head, winter or
summer, that she didn't take cold. She
began to sleep in the correct position,
and, 10 and behold! her shoulders not
only began to straighten out, but she also
stopped catching colds. When l men
toned this to the doctor as a remarkable
fact, he said:
"'Why, my dear girl, didn't you know
that person who sleep on bis back is
much more liable to take cold9 What
did l tell you about the way in which
animals sleep?"
Miss Stoop- Shoulder replied that if by
next New Years Day she was not as

o mother, my love, if youIl give me youl

And go where i ask you to wander,

We'l walk in sweet posie garden out there
Where moonlight and starlight are stream

And the flowers and the birds are filing the

With the fragrance and music of dream
ing
There II be no little tired out boy to undress
Noquestions or cares to perplex YOU
Therell be no little bruises Or bumps tC

Nor patching of stockings to vex you.
For I'll rock you away on the silver-dew
stream
And sing you asleep when you're weary,
And no one shall know of our beautiful
dream
But you and your own little dearie
And when om tired I'll nestle my head
In the bosom that's soothed me so often,
And the wide-awake stars shall sing in my
stead
A song which my dreaming shall soften.
So, mother, my love, let me take your deal

And away through the starlight Wen
wander
Away through the mist to the beautiful

The doctor may be q good old man, but
even 80, medical examinations and the
''local, application" treatment are abhor-
rent to every modest woman. They are
embarrassing-often useless. They should
not be submitted to until everything else
has been tried. In nine cases out of ten,
the doctor in general practice isn't compe-
tent to treat female diseases. They make
a branch of medicine by themselves.
They are distinct from other ailments.
They can be properly understood and
treated only by one who has had years of

A faitful wife
Becomes the truest and tenderest friend,
The balm of comfort and the source of

To rejoice in anotber's prosperity is to

A smooth sea never made skillful

deeds,
Unless our own just virtues form our
title,
And give sanction to our fond assump

If there be JOY in the world, surely a

THE PAINTER.
BY T. BRUCE DiLKs
Nature hath taken her delicate brush,
Her palette, and paints, and all,
She hath worked in the silence of twilight
hush,
She hath worked in the storms loud
braw;
She works-and 10!
The frescOeS grow
On the sides of her ample hall.
She hath tinted the apple with tiushes of
rose,
She hath covered the pear with white,
And the osier blooms where the honey bee
goes
She hath crowned with golden light,
The leafing sloe
Is draped In snow,
And the celandine stars CLEAN bright.
She bath spripkled the meadows with silver
and gold,
And the cuckoo flowers delicate hue.
She hath kindled the gorse on the wind
haunted void,
And hath garnished the woodlands anew;
The speedwell's eye,
Demure and shy,
She hath touched with 1t heaven born blue.
And in and about and around them all
She hath filled in q background of green,
The Leaf buds burst at her noiseless call
And spread out verduous screen,
And wearied eyes
In quiet wise
Find rest in the soothing scene.

Care of the Ears.

Never wear cotton in the ears if they
are dischargipg pus.
Never put anything into the ear for
the relief of toothache.
Never drop anything into the ear until
it has been previously warmed.
Never attempt to apply poultice to
the inside of the canal of the ear.
Never use anything but syringe and
warm watsr for clearing the ears of pus.
Never strike or box child's ears; this
has been known to rupture the drumhead
and cause incurable deafness.
Never wet the hair if you have any
tendency to deafness; wear an oiled silk
cap when bathing aud refrain from diving
Never scratch the ears with ANYTHING
but the finger if they itch. Do not use
the head of pin, hairpins, pencil tips OF
anything of that nature.
Never let the feet become cold and
damp nor sit with the back toward the
window, as these things tend to aggra.
vate any existing hardness of hearing.
Never put milk, fat or any oily sub.
stance into the ear for the relief of pain.
for they soon become rancid and tend to
excite Inflammation. Simple warm water
will answer the purpose better than any.
thing else.
Never be alarmed if living insect
enters the ear. Pouring warm water
into the canal will drown it, when it will
generally come to the surface and can
easily be removed with the fingers. A
few puffs of tobacco smoke blown into
the ear will stupefy the insect.
Never meddle with the ear if foreign
body, such as bead, button or seed en-
ters it. Leave it absolutely alone until a
physician can attend to it. More damage
has been done by the injudicious attempts
at the extraction of foreign body than
could ever come from It's presence in the
