Keeping the Mouth Closed. .

Children and all young persons can
not be too strongly admonished of the
danger of breathing through the
mouth instead or the nostrils. Savages
living in cold latitudes seldom take
cold. Scientist say it is because they
keep their mouths tightly closed when
out doors. That is, they do not allow
the air to strike the inside of the
mouth except when talking. Disease
germs find direct route to the lungs
when a person breathes through his
mouth. Keep the mouth closed to
avoid this danger. The teeth suffer
from frequent exposure to the atmos.
pbere. Sudden changes of tempera-
ture, whether liquid or atmospheric,
are hurtful to them. The best teeth in
the world are those of the savage
tribes, whose members always keep
their mouths shut except when talking
or eating. Throat and lung diseases
are often contracted by persons who 60
about open mouthed. The frosty air
of winter inhaled directly into the
lungs through the mouth is frequent
cause of bronchial disorders. Taken
through the nose it is modified and
sifted of many of its dangers.

which Was The Fool.

A king gave his fool staff, telling
him to keep it until he met. greater
fool than himself, and when he me-
with such an one to deliver it over tt
him.
Not many years after, the king was
on his death-bed. His fool came tt
see him, and was told by the dying
master he must shortly leave him.
"And whittier wilt thou go?" sait
the fool.
"Into another world" replied the
king.
"And wilt thou come back again
within q month ?"
"No."
"Within year?'
"No.n
"When wilt thou come then ?"
Never"
"Never! And what provision hast
thou made for thy entertainment
whittier thou goest ?"
"None at ALL"
"What !" said the fool. "None al
all? Then take my staff"
So the question returns-Which was
the fool?

How to Manage A Husband.

A husband is not strange kind of
creature who needs duplicated
treatment or peculiar management,
as one is led to believe by the many
articles written on the subject but
on the contrary, a simple little dash
of common sense will insure happy
married life, unless the couple are
entirely unsuited. I have often been
asked privately the reason of my mar
ried happiness, and for the harmony IN
our little household. 1 have never had
any set rules /; but will try to analyze
the cause of my success.
l. Keep an even disposition, and be
above frettiDg over trifles.
2. Treat your husband like being
who has feelings, not like creature"
who needs management"
3. Act to him exactly as you expect
him to act to you.
4. Try to be his companion, and
interest yourself in what interest him.
5. Meet him half way, and don't
forget to overlook his little peculiari-
ties.
6. Don't try to make him feel: you
know more than he does, but don't
underate yourself to him.
1 have often heard of wives ''spoil-
ing" their husbands but if a woman
respects herself, and keeps her hus-
bands respect, there is no such
danger" AS for his going out
evenings-if a wife is really the COM
panion of her husband-he will want
to stay at home and, unless it is
absolutely necessary, he never will
20 out without her.
Of course every man is different, and
no one rule fits two cases but good
common sense, combined with a
loving heart and kind intentions,
will not fail in excellent management;
though the less thought given to
"rules" the more natural the actions,
and the better the result.

"A Lesson From the EAGLE"

A beautiful lesson of Holy Scripture
is taken from the eagles method OF
exciting her young to attempt their
first flight.
GAS an eagle stirreth up her nest,
fiuttereth over her young, spreadeth
abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth
them OH her wings, so the lord alone
did lead them" Deut. Xxxii, ,.
Of a part of this instructive proceed
ing of the eagle, Sir Humphrey Davy
was once an eye witness. II once saw
very interesting sight," says he,
"above one of the crags of Ben Nevis.
Two parent eagles were teaching their
offspring, two young birds, the ma
neuvers Of flight. They began by ris-
ing from the top of the mountain, in
the eye of the sun it was about mid
day, and bright for that climate. They
at first made small circles, and the
young birds initiated them: they paus-
ed on their wings, waiting till they
had made their first flight, and then
took second and larger gyration, al
ways rising towards the sun and en-
larging tl.eir circle of flight, 50 as to
make gradually extending spiral.
The young ones still slowly followed,
apparently flying better as they
mounted: and they continued this sub
lime exercise, always rising till they
became mere points in the air, and the
young ones were lost and afterwards
their parents to our aching sight"
What lesson is there in this nara
tive to every Christian parent? How
powerfully does this conduct Of the
parent eagles appeal to such to teach
their children betimes to look toward
heaven and the Son of Righteousness,
and to elevate their desires and aftec.
tions thither more and more on the
wings of faith and love, themselves all
the while going before them, and Ell.
couraging them by their example.

THE SHIFTLESS FARMER.
Some PecularIties of the Average
Texas Farmer-NO Such Man Lives
in AbbevilIe County.

some fecularltteS OF the AVerhEe
Texas Farmer-NO Such Man Lives
In AbbeviIIe County.
Are you acquainted with him? Did
you ever see him? Is he your neigh.
Dor? The editor of the Navasota
(Texas) Tablet gives such full and
accurate description of one, that should
you meet him you could hardly fail
to recognize him. The editor says the
shiftless farmer has lifelong ambi-
ton to gain reputation for wearing
a dirty shirt.
He will alarm the neighborhood by
by getting up two hours before day,
and then sit around and not 60 to
work until after sunrise.
He will ride around week looking
for So hog.
He will complain of hard times, then
tear his pants climbing over fence
where gate ought to be.
He will pay So for a new bride,
and then let the calf chew it to pieces
before Sunday.
He gets ali his neighbors to help in
getting cow out of the bog, then let's
her die for want of attention. She
will get and destroy his crop at a
place in his fence that he has been
putting off fixing for six months
He will sprain his back lifting some
thing to show how strong he is.
He will 60 in his shirt sleeves on a
cold day to show how much cold he
can stand, and then return home at
night and occupy two-thirds of the
fireplace till bed time.
He will ridicule the mechanism of a
corn planter and then 60 out and
smash his thumb mailing a board on
the fence.
He will 60 to town on Saturday and
come home with fifty cents worth of
coffee, a paper of pins and dollars
worth of chewing tobacco.
He is economical economy In his
forte; he will save ten cents worth of
axle grease and ruin the sprinkle of
a $40 wagon
He won't subscribe for a newspaper
but will borrow from his friend and
fail to return it.

Putting Away Winter Clothing.

In putting away winter clothing,
whether it be in the form of personal
apparel or household furnishings, such
as heavy curtains or bedding, it is ne
cessary for one to exercise the utmost
care in order to guard against great
loss from the ravages of moths. No
trouble, no matter how laborious,
should be spared, there being much at
stake, and the consequences being
quite too serious to be trifled with in
the very least.
Heavy curtains, which are used only
in the winter time as protection, and
all surperfuous bedding, such as blank
cts and quilts, should be exposed to
the sun and air for a few hours; the
curtains being we'll beaten and freed
from all dust and the blankets carefully
washed. Then they should be neatly
folded, wrapped in large cotton sheets
and laid away in the linen press or
store-room, upon substantial shelves,
which are clean and dry, accompanied
by goodly supply of camphor.
All heavy articles of apparel, such
as gowns, coats or wraps of any kind
should be taken out of doors and hung
upon the line to air; after which they
should be thoroughly shaken and
brushed until all dust and dirt of any
| kind have been removed, the smallest
atom affording food in which moths
thrive and revel. The garments sdould
be put away in cotton bags, made ex-
pressly for that purpose, in large boxes
or trunks that are not in use, it being
quite immaterial 80 long as all air is
entirely excluded.
All woolen underware should be care
fully washed and dried, then rolled up
and put into clean paper sacks or old
cotton pillow cases-care being taken
to see that there are no holes in them
with generous quantity Of pure cam
phor or moth camphor, the latter pos
sessing the great advantage over former
of being much less expensive, although
the odor is perhaps not quite so agree
able.
Bags of all sizes and descriptions are
invaluable at such time of year for
holding articles that are to be put away
until the cold season has rolled around
again. These could be made of any
short material and if desired could be
adorned with the owners initials.
Furs should be packed away in their
own boxes, with plenty of moth cam
phor, after all dust has been beaten out
of them.
Felt or velvet hats should be care
fully cleansed by means of a soft hat
brush, then wrapped in tissue paper,
and put away in their respective band
boxes. Each box, package, bag or
trunk should, for convenience sake,
contain label, upon which is legibly
written list of the contents.

A Sisters Influence.

Some sisters forget that the first and
often most enduring impressions men
receive of the sex come through their
sisters actions. Is the girl a vain,
pretty, selfish being, never considering
the brothers. needs? Is it any wonder
if the brotheS thinks that all girls are
like his sister? Sisters should seek to
be friends Of their brothers: Their
gentle, virtuous conduct may do much
mind, and will inevitably refine and
help him. You, dear girls, can do, and
you are doing, very much in shaping a
young mans habits. If the sister
Shares his youthful troubles, advises
him in difficulties, refuses to listen to
or mix in any wild conversation, seeks
to lead him into the right conceptions
of manhood's privileges-in short, be-
comes loving companion-wlll have
that exalted view of womanh hood which
will be a safeguard in the days to
come.

mothers, dear mothers, in the
Church of Christ, will you not think
of all this? Will you not help to stop
the killing of birds? Will you not
refuse to wear the plumage of slaugh-
tered birds? Their lives are dear to
them and to the God who made them.
Will you not urge your children to be
members of humane societies, that in
them and in their parents homes they
NAV learn to be merciful and tender
hearted, and protect all harmless crea'
lures from cruelty of every kind?

Christianity, if it means anything,

Christianity, if it means anything,
means sixteen ounces to the pound,
three feet to the yard, a just weight,
and just measure. 1t means honesty
in all dealings, purity in all conversa-

untlinching integrity, sympathy, hu.

what we want, and it is only when our
wants and needs are the same that
we are truly wise.
