Some DOn'ts for Swimmers.

Diving is certainly the best way fol
you to enter the water-always pro
vided that you know all about its
depth. Nothing can be more un'
healthful than the dawdling habit Of
wading out ankle-deep or knee-deep
The hot sun beats down on your head
Your feet aud legs are in the COO
water, whose temperature is anywhere
from ten to twenty-five degrees lower
than that of the air.
You can't remain long under these
conditions without injuring yourself
Natures plan is to have the head cool
and the extremities warm. Go con.
trary to this and you are in trouble
Probably most of you can remember
having had a headache sometime ol
other from this very cause. Indeed
physicians will tell you that many at
tacks of cramps in the water are due to
the swimmers foolishness of wading
in very slowly. Deranged circulation
causes cramps. In places where it is
not safe to dive you can easily stoop
over and throw few handfuls of wa
ter on your head. Then hurry for
ward and throw yourself in-fall in.
Will other fellows laugh at your pre-
cautions? Well, let them laugh, and
pay for it with the twinges of cramps.
T have been swimming twenty years,
and I've never had q cramp, simply
because I've followed the rules laid
down here.

Sewing on Buttons.

"When I get a bright idea, l always
want to pass it along" said lady as
she was watching a young girl sewing,
"Do your buttons ever come off,
Lena?"
"Ever! They're always doing it.
They are ironed off, washed off and
pulled off until I despair. I seem to
shed buttons at every STEP"
"Make use of these two hints when
you are sewing them on, then, and see
if they make any difference. When
you begin, before you lay the button
on the cloth, put the thread through
so that the knot will be on the right
side. That leaves it under the button
and prevents it from being worn OF
ironed away and thus beginning the
loosening process.
"Then, before you begin sewing,
lay a large pin across the button, so
that all your threads will 60 over the
pin. After you have finished filling
the holes with thread, draw out the
pin, and wind your thread round and
round beneath the button. That makes
compact stem to sustain the pulling
and wear of the btutonhole.
ut is no eXaggeration to say that
my buttons never come off, and Pm
sure yours won't, you use my meth
cd of sewing"

The Home Doctor.

Olive oil saturated with camphor
makes an excellent application for in
fammatory swellings; also for rubbing
rheumatic joints.
1.-THE soothing effects of hot water
are not fully appreciated" said ply:
sician the other day. 81 recommend
it to large number of my patients
who suffer from insomnia produced by
nervous irritation of the stomach, and
also for certain forms of indigestion.
Many of them objects to it at first, but
soon come to like it and are generally
much benefited by 1t. A glass of hot
water now and then will work no ap'
preciable good, of course, but steady
habit of hot water drinking once form.
ed and sustained regularly for few
months, works wonders with certain
constitutions. generally recommend
its use just before going to bed. 1t is
great soother."
A celebrated physician declares that
he can name seventy differently dis
eases, some of them incurable, which
are the result of the use of tobacco.
This may be an exsggerating, but it is
absolutely certain that many an OBJ
scure affection of the nervous system
is the result of its abuse. While we
depreciate the excessive use of tobacco
in adults, we condemn utterly its use
in growing boys. The evil effects are
already showing themselves, and in a
few years we shall hardly find room in
our asylums for feebleminded youth
1t behooves every father of boys to
put stop at once to the practice, and
since the State has an interest in the
health, both moral and physical, OF
its future citizens, we believe some
enactment by the legislature to forbid
the sale to or use Of cigarretts by
minors would be looked upon with
favor. 1t is the duty of every family
physician to explain to those over
whose health he has supervision the
evil consequences of the use of cigarett-
es by their children. 1t is the duty of
the medical, secular and religious press
to denounce the use of tobacco by
minors. Will they do it?

A Mother Worth Winding.
".My mother says"

My mother says"
"Ho your mother-she isn't one OF
the kind that's worth minding."
whit do you mean ?" advancing
threateningly towards the boy standing
with his back against tree. shes
as good mother as ever lived, and
won't have you say such things"
A knot Of boys had gathered close to
the speakers, one cool and quiet, the
other with angry, heated face.
"She isn't worth minding, and you
know it, Jack Somers," was the reply.
you've said go yourself many and
many q time"
"That's true W came in loud whis
per from one of the boys standing
near.
Everybody knows it., too, came
from another.
Jack turned from the speaker in an,
cry amazement: "You're pretty LOT
of boys talking about mother that way,
and pretending you like her all the
time!"
"We do like her,n came in chorus
from the half-dozen boys. "George
said she wasn't worth minding."
"Well, what do you mean?" anger
giving place to surprise. ..
"Why, just this, that you don't
think she's worth minding."
II never said such a thing in my
life !" trying to recall any remark of
this kind.
"Look here, jack" said one of the
boys, coming forward: "you don't
seem to see what George and the other
boys are driving at. You may not
have said in so many words that your
mother wasn't worth minding, but by
your actions. This morning, when
your mother asked you to post letter,
you said you wouldn't have time to 60
around by the postoffice, and yet you
have had half an hour before school
in which to play ball. Wheo she told
you to put on your coat for fear you
would take cold, you still left it hang
ing on the fence, paying no attention
to what she said. Of course, we boys
can see she isn't worth minding, since,
you see it so plainly yourself. Tell
you what it is, old follow, I don't
know of anything so satisfactory in
the long run as minding mothers"
The angry light died from Jacks
face before Tom had finished, and as it
came to a close, be turned and walked
away.
Here was boy who loved his moth
er dearly, and yet how unmindful he
had been of her wishes!
"Guess I needed that lesson, and al
though the boys may never know it, !
am much obliged to them for it. I'll
see that they don't have to tell me
again ~
And thew did not.

Save the Moments.

a scrap or bit of time will be wasted,
many an odd or leisure hour will be
lost, unless we are wide awake and full
of energy. There are no means of
computing the results of wisely-im.
proved scraps of time. Burret, the
world-renowned author, mathemati-
clan, astronomer, and linguist, started
out in life poor blacksmith, and owed
all his great achievement to the i'm
provement of the hours that common
Iaborers usually waste. One of the
best scholars and greatest mathemati-
clans of America acquired his knowl-
edge of algebra and the rudiment of
Latin and Greek while working on q
farm, and having to work hard, with
out rest-day except rainy days. But
when it rained, and during hours
taken from sleep, he diligently applied
himself and became a master. Inc
man whom every Tennessean loved to
honor, ex-President Johnson, began
business life when he did not know
the alphabet. He had to work hard
every day to maintain his wife and
child. An intimate friend aud associ-
ate of Mr.. Johnson's, an eminent law
yer said to the writer: ~ knew Andy
johnson from his boyhood-was inti-
mate with him. He did more man
uaI labor than any other man I was
ever acquainted with, and at the same
time he did more reading and studying
than any professional man or student |
ever knew" 1t was the improvement
of the time wasted by the masses that

States. There are very few laboring
people. especially young people, but
that could devote two hours out of
every twenty-four to study; then, in
addition, many bits or scraps of time
might be added. Two hours a day
would give thirty days for study each
year. At that rate it would give one
year to study in every twelve. What
mighty things this would accomplish
in driving Ignorance from the world !!
What pleasure it would bring! And,
above all, what usefulness might be at
tanned! To do this is no child's play;
it requires a strong will, mighty cour-
age, and a high purpose. But it will
pay a thousandfold for all it costs.
Who will try it?

What to Teach Boys.

A philosopher has said that true ed
ucation of boys is to "teach them what
they ought to know when they become
men."
l. To be true and TO be genuine. Nc
education is worth anything that does
not include this. A man had better
not know how to read-he had better
never learn q letter in the alphabet,
and be true, genuine in intention and
in action rather than be learned in all
the sciences and in all languages, and
be at the same time false in heart and
counterfeit in life. Above all things,
teach boys that the truth is more than
riches, more than earthly power or pos
sessions.
3. To be pure in thought, language
and life-pure in mind and body.
8. To he unselfish. To care for the
feelings and comforts of others. To be
polite, to be just in all dealings with
others. To be generous, noble and
manly. This will include a genuine
reverence for the aged and for things
sacred.
4. TO be self-reliant and self helpful,
even from childhood. TO be industri-
ons always and selfsupporting at the
earliest proper age. Teach them that
all honest work is honorable, that an
idle life of dependence on others of dis
graceful.
When boy has learned these four
things, when he has made these ideas
a part of being-however poor or
however rich-he has learned the most
important things he ought to know
when he becomes a man.

The Truthful Boy.

Says Robert Burdette "How people
do trust a truthful boy! We never
worry about him when he is out of our
sight. We never say, Il wonder where
he is wish 1 knew what he is doing ;
1 wonder whom he is with; 1 wonder
why he doesn't come home.' Nothing
of the sort. We know he is all right.
and that when he comes home we will
know all about it, and get it straight.
"We don't have to ask him where he
is going and how long he will be gone
every time he leaves the house. We
don't have to call back and make him
'solemnly promise the same thing
over and over two or three times.
When he says, Yes, 1 will,' or No
1 WON'T just once, that settles it."

Chicken Lice.

Mix one-half ounce of carbolic acid
with u gill of fresh lard and rub some
of the mixture we'll into the breast and
body and under the wings of the moth
er hen. Do this just at night. Coal
oil may also he used on your chicks
if used sparingly. Dip the finger in
the oil, and just touch the head and
under the wings. If care is taken to
have the hen and her chicks come from
the nest free from lice and the coop
is well dosed in every crack with coal
oil, the chickens will not be troubled
with lice. In this case, as in many
other, prevention is easier than
cure. Prairie Farmer

Stop and Think.
? life please God

Does my life please God?
Am studying my Bible daily?
Am enjoying my Christian life?
Is there any one cannot forgive?
Have I ever won soul to Christ?
How much time do spend in pray
er?
Am l trying to bring my friends to
Christ?
Have I ever had a direct answer to
prayer?
Is there anything I cannot give up
for Christ?
Just where am I making the greatest
mistake?
How does my life look to those who
are not Christians?
How many things do put before
my religious duties?
Have I ever tried giving one-tenth
of my income to the Lord?
Is this world being made better or
worse by my living in it?
Am 1 doing anything that I would
condemn in others?
