Rules Worth Following.

Chronic grumbling is dangerous, as it
keeps the sensitive nerves constantly
vibrating with discordsnt emotions, and
pot only hurts the grumbler but every
one who hears it. This is not often
considered from the standpoint of health,
but perhaps it is a wise view of it, says
the Philadelphia Record.
Nothing so weakens the powers of
digestion as the habit of "pieking up a
snack" here and there as the chance may
be. Even if it is only a bit of bread thus
taken it is unsafe. The smallest morsel
of food is apt to rouse the full activity
of the stomach and digestive apparatus,
only for waste of effort.
No change should be made in the
flannel underclothing because of
occasional changes in the weather.
Flannel gently stimulates the skin, pro-
notes the inseDsible perspiration, while
it absorbs the moisture thrown out, aud
tends greatly under all circumstances to
keep up an equal temperature. This is
of the greatest Importance in the season
of sudden changes.
Bathing the hands and feet every night
in warm water in which some common
salt has been dissolved is one of the best
%preventives of chillblains. Those who
are subject to chillblains should be very
careful to dry the hands aud feet
thoroughly after washing them until all
moisture is removed and they are warm
and glowing.
Cold water is the safest application for
an inflamed eye. Poultices should never
be used, and no one should read or sew
or use the eyes for any work where close
application is necessary while there is the
least Inflammation or pain 10 the nerves.
1t is best to be very careful in the use of
the eyes for some time after all soreness
has disappeared if thsy have bern badly
inflamed.

Sing at your Dolly labor.
Sing with a cheerful voice,
Sing songs of praise to Jesus,
Ever in Him rel dice.
Others will hear your praises,
Others will join the strain,
And 1t may be the sweet words you utter
Will soothe some weary hearts pain.
Close by my side works a dear one,
Sweet vote ed and cheerful and CAV.
Heart filled with love for the Master,
Singing His praise day by day.
Caroling hymns full of gladness,
Praises to Jesus above;
Songs of His goodness and mercy.
Songs of His infinite love.
How often the sweet strains have cheered
me
When weary with toll or with care;
How oft the sweet words to my spirit
Seem like benediction or prayer,
How often my thoughts lave gone heaven
ward,
AS on my listening ear,
Some grand old hymn, so familiar.
Rang out so joyous and clear.
And though the bright, happy singer
o not of the good that is lone
By the sweet words of praise that are uttered
And the triumphant strains that are sung;
Yet still the sweet voice in gladness
Sings on TO the sayiour's praise.
And the music brightens the hours
OF many wearisome days.
Then sing, Christians, sing for the Master,
Daily your voices raise,
Chaopipn tho hoo to oil aro,1rd VIZ, - -
By your songs of praise.
Sing, but sing only for Jesus,
Consecrate all your powers of song
To Him whose love has redeemed you,
And to whom your voices belong.

His G~randmother's Gift.

Others are struggling along the path that

but whether treating a struggler favora-

be cautious. Probably a well known
Colonel in Berlin seriously thinks of this

a state ball.
A young Lieutenant wbo wore a single

diamonds, attracted the Colonel's stten-

asked:

Colonel burst into a fit of laughter that
lasted a couple of minutes.
During the interval the young Lieuten-
ant, unabashed, stood calmly by looking
at him.
