DON'T WEAR TIGHT SHoEs.-Never
try to wear a shoe too small or that
does not fit when you first put it on.
There is no misery more nearly dis
tracing than shoe that hurts the
foot. Never let your shoes get hard
and dry. Don't let them run over.
Don't let the heels run down. Don't
dry a wet shoe till you have rubbed it
we'll with a flannel cloth and then
with vaseline. Never put it near the
stove. Half peck of oats, kept in a
small box, will be the very cheapest
and best foot form for a wet shoe. Fill
the shoe and shake the oats down,
after having rubbed and oiled it, and
set it in a dry place to dry gradually.
When dry, pour the oats back for fur
ther use. Do not "black upon black
ing" more than a week at a time.
Take wet rag and wash the shoe at
least once a week and oil overnight to
keep in good condition. Never handle
patent leather until you have warmed
it. Never wear rubbers with good
shoes. Put on old shoes in wet wealth
er. There is no part of the apparel of
q lady or gentleman which should be
more scrupulously neat or that is so
often scandalously neglected.

RECREATION In LUNG DISEASE.

RECREATION In LUNG DISEASE
The recreations should be of nature
that will inspire all interest on the part
of the invalid in their accomplishment.
There should be an Importance attach
ed to them requiring some thought.
The unemployed mind is powerful
depressant to the nervous forces. Let
the daily walks and rides have some
purpose, if nothing more than the
performance of the domestic errands
of the family. If he loves art and
music, his tastes should be gratified.
There should be moderate indulgence
in out-of.door sports, as bicycling, ball e,
surf-bathing when allowable, horse
back riding and skating. Our lady
patients have their gymnastics-tri-
cycle, horseback riding and skating
and of great importance, their vocal
gymnastics. This will expand the
lungs and strengthen the pectoral and
respiratory muscles, being pleasant
recreation, and at the same time a
most excellent means of bathing the
air cells with oxygen and teaching the
vocal organs the proper performance
of their functions. After few weeks
of judicious practice the dimensions OF
the chest will be found to have in-
creased from four to five inches.
Practicing at the piaho, needle-work
or any employment which requires
close application and necessitates con-
traction of the chest walls in its per-
formance should be forbidden.-Jour-
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton.

HONEST WITH HIMSELF.

Little frankie was forbidden to
touch the sewing machine, and as he
was generally pretty obedient boy,
his mother, auntie and his auntie's
friend were much surprised one after
noon to find the thread badly tangled
aud the needle broken. frankie was,
without doubt, the culprit, and he was
called before the family tribunal of
justice.
"Frankie, did you touch the sewing
machine ?" asked mamma, severely.
"Yes, mamma" was the tremulous
answer. He was such mite, so frail
and delicate, so utterly helpless as he
stood before US all with parted lips and
big, frightened eyes, our hearts went
out to him in pity.
"Now, Frankie" continued his
mother, "you know I said I would
punish you if you disobeyed me, and I
shall have to keep my promise"
ayes, mamma" came in trembling
whisper. Surely the little fellow was
punished sufficiently, and yet we real
lied that justice must be enforced.
cit is a very long time since you
forbade him touch the machine, and
perhaps he has forgot" suggested his
aunt.
"And if he forgot, that would make
difference, would it not ?" ventured
to suggest.
"Certainly," answered his mother
"did you forget, frankie? 1 know
my boy will speak the truth"
There was pause, and in that pause
there was a struggle between right and
wrong; then came the answer with a
passionate cry, as though the struggles
were almost beyond his puny strength {:
"Oh, mamma, mamma, I did remem-
ber. I shan't make believe to my
self"

THE WORD OF GOD.

The Bible has had a marked inhu-
ence upon the best literature Of many
centuries, showing how completely it
has commanded the respect of master
minds. While this fact is welcome
one, it is by no means one of the best
proofs that it is the Word of God.
That fact is best demonstrated by its
effect upon individual lives.
Some of the opinions elected from
the master minds of the recent past
will bear quoting. John Adams re-
marked: "The Bible is the best book
in the world" and hence worthy of
the ecomiums it has received.
De Toqueville, the famous French
statesman, said: "Bible Christianity
is the companion of liberty in all its
conflicts, the cradle of its infancy, and
the divine source of its claims" Then
the first duty of the true patriot should
be to cherish the Bible as his magma
charta. "Every patriot should be a
Christian and every Christian should
be a patriot"
Said President Grant: "Hold fast
to the Bible as the sheet anchor of
your liberties, with it's precepts on
your hearts, and practice them in
your lives. To the influence of this
book we are indebted for the progress
made in true civilization, and to this
we must look as our guide in the
future"
Thomas Carlyle called the Bible "a
notable book-all mems book. 1t is
our first statement of the never-ending
problem of mans destiny and Gods
way with men on EARTH" This is
true. Being the word of God, the
Bible touches the fountain springs of
life. Coleridge said: ~ know the Bi-
BILE is inspired, because it finds me at
greater depths of my being than any
other book" John Locke said: ITO
give man a full knowledge Of true
morality, should need to send him no
other book than the New Testament" "
John Quincy Adams said: $50 great
is my veneration of the Bible, that the
earlier my children begin to read it,
the more confident will be my hopes
that they will prove useful citizens to
their country, and respectable men,
bers of society,""
No book in the world has been so
widely circulated as the Bible has been.
The British and Foreign Bible society
furnishes some striking figures concern
ing the circulation of Bibles as whole
or in part for the year 1856. The
figures are as follows: French agency,
142, 1877; Belgian, 81, ,1Sl; Italian, 49,
4O7 Portuguese, 1924; Spanish, 75,-
1872; German, 245, 5,OS5; Swiss, 65, ,513 /;
Austria Hungarian agency, 158,1 ;
Egyptian, including Syria, 2S,O71 ;
Moorish, 1914; Algeria and Tuuis,
1886; Persian agency, 9,595; Turk
ish, with Bulgaria and Greece, 3S, ,977 ;
Russian, 43,109; Chinese, 1928 ;
Japanese, 257,57S; India, 476,9S2 ;
Malaysian, 59,S45. This gives total
of over 100000, so that the "Old
Book" has still the "largest circula-
tion" by very long way.-Christian

DON'T WORRY.-There is nothing

those of your physician will give
strength, and in both acute and chron-

will develop vital energy which in its
turn is productive of even greater

world over, claims that vital force is
physical force. So it is, but this does
not prevent it from being metaphysi-

HIS THREAT.-A little colored boy,
the grandson of an old servant in
New England family, is a constant
playmate of the boy of the house,
whose parents are particularly anxious
that their child shall treat his colored
companion with gentleness.
They are so anxious, in fact, that
the little Negro has acquired habit
of running to his playmate's mother
with any trouble which may have
befallen him, sure of her protection.
One day the two boys were snow
balling, and in some way or other the
Negro received an especially damp
and "sloshy" SNOWFALL in his face,
though it had been aimed at his back.
"You better look out, William Per-
cival !'' he cried, turning snow-plas-
tered face, from which cleaned two
small but wrathful eyes, on his play
mate. eff you don't say you won't
do dat again, 1 take dis count'nance

MARBLES In CATTLE.-As the
spring advances small Jumps or tumors
will be found in the backs of the cat
tie, and in such large grub will be
found. These grubs are often called
wolves and other local names, but they
are really the larvae of large bot fly
or CAD fly, which lay eggs in the skin,
which it punctures or stings with its
ovipositor. These flies torment the
cattle in July or August; besides the
hides are seriously damaged. A day
may be we'll spent in destroying the
grubs which are now nearly ready to
emerge from the holes in the skin
through which they breathe. By care
fully squeezing the tumor they may
be forced out and killed; or few
drops of oil squeezed in from squirt
can will kill them. If this could be
generally done the pests would soon be
got rid of.-American Agriculturist.

Humorous 1epartment.
A FASHIONABLE SYRUP.

The following story is told Of a
Kansas man who allowed his ambition
to interfere with his gastric arrange
ments. The man, whose name was
Ike Dorchy, was in from his farm and
stopped at general store in Emporla
to get some supplies. Fortune had
smiled on him and he had plenty OF
money for Kansas farmer.
He told the store keeper that he
was fixed up for better times and
wanted the best he had.
"Gimme some raisins an some cove
oysters an somethin' nice to put on
griddle cakes" he particularized.
"Molasses ?" said the store keeper.
"Naw; somethin' nicer. Ben eat
in 1nolasses for 20 years. Amt ye
got somethin' slicker ?"
The grocer told him about maple
syrup and praised it highly. All the
stony people" of Emporia used it, he
said.
"That's what I want. The high
tonedest you've got"
By strange mishap when the boy
went to pack the goods for the socia-
bly, ambitious farmer he took tin OF
varnish, the varnish coming in square
cans of kind similar to those contain
ing the maple syrup. Three or four
months afterward the man came back
to town and reported at the store.
The store keeper, having made the
discovery of the error, was in a panic
At length he mustered courage to ask
how the maple syrup had answered.
"Oh, she was all right" said the
customer. "Kinder highfaultin, but
