WHAT TOBACCO DOES TO THE
ROY

1t is generally admitted that in
the immature the moderate use of
tobacco stunts the normal growth of
the body and mind, and causes vari-
Gus nervous disturbances, especially
of the heart--disturba which
it causes in later life only when
smoking has become excessive. That
is to say, though a boys stomach
grows tolerant of nicotine to the ex-
tent of taking it without protest, the
rest of the body keeps on protesting.
Furthermore, all business men
will tell you that tobacco damages
a boys usefulness in his work. This
is necessarily SO, since anything
which lowers vitality creates some
kind of incompetence. For the same
reason the boy who smokes excess
sively not only is unable to work
vigorously, but he does not wish to
work at all. This result, apparent
during growth, is only less apparent
after growth, when other causes may
step in to neutralize it.
Tobacco, in bringing about a de-
probation of the nerve-cells, brings,
together with physical results like
insomnia, lowered vitality, and rest
lessness, their moral counterparts,
like irritability, lack of concentra-
ton, desire to avoid responsibility
and to travel the road of least resist
ance.
If there were some instrument to
determine it, in my opinion there
| would be seen a difference of fifteen
per cent in the general efficiency OF
smokers and non-smokers. The time
is already at hand when smokers
will be barred out of positions which
demand quick thought and action
Already tobacco is forbidden during
| working hours in the United States

THE WEATHER.

Us farmers In the country. the seasons
go and come,
Is purity much like other foIks-we're apt
to grumble some!
The springs took back ard fer us, er too
forard-ary one
Wen jaw about 1t anyhow, and have our
way none!
The thaw's set in too student; er the frost $
stayed in the soil
Too long to give the wheat a chance, ana
crops is bound to spoil.
The weather's eether most too mild, er too
outrageous rough.
And altogether too much rain, er not half
rain enough!
Now what I'd like and what you'd like is
plane enuff to see:
It's Jest to have old Proveddence drop
round you and me
And asst us what our views is first, regardin'
shine rain,
And post i'm when to shet her off, er let her
on again!
And yet I'd ruther, after alI-considern 9TH
chores
L got on hand, a-tendn both to my affares
and yours
I'd ruther miss the blame I'd git, a-ruling
things up thare,
And spend my extry time in praise ana
gratitude and prayer.

THE SPRING DIETARY.

This is the time of the year when
we need to make a change in our di-
etary, diminishing the amount of
heat-producing foods, as fats, starch
es and sugars, and adding the green
vegetables which contain a great deal
Of water. In the spring we lose our
desire for fat foods and crave acids
and green vegetables, but many
thoughtless housekeepers pursue the
same routine for the table both win
ter and summer.
Nature provides for warm wealth
er vegetables containing a large
amount of water, very little of the
heat-producing elements and enough
of the meineral salts to keep the sys-
tenn in good condition. Animal fat
contains more of the heat-producing
elements than any other article of
diet. so should be used sparingly ex-
cepting in the cold weather.
The alkaline salts which are con-
tanned In green vegetables make
them almost as valuable. as q spring
medicine. Our digestion Is sluggish
during the spring, which Is natures

FOR TRAVELLING,

Take a candle in your bag and a
box of safety matches. When they
are wanted, you will be glad they
were put in. The space required
for them is small. A passenger on
steamer that was wrecked had a
small candle, which enabled her to
collect some of her most valuable
possessions when the lights went out
after the collision.
Garry a few pens in your bag II
you do not use a fountain pen. You
will find that it is worth while, as
the pens provided at some hotels
and other public places are often SO
bad that it is impossible to use them
with any satisfaction.
Envelopes used in packing small
articles will be found better than
boxes, as they take up less room
Stout, collapsible envelopes, which
may be bought where Office supplies
are sold, will be found satisfactory
Gloves, handksrchiefs, neck arrange
ments, etc., may be kept nicely in
such envelopes.-Selected.

Disdain for Dignity.

A Scot whose name was Macintosh

he was directly descended from the

loud and harshly, and it angered the

HOUSE-CLEANING.

Dirt has been defined as matter
out of place." and certainly it Is no.
where more out of place than in our
dwellings. Dirt is the parent of dis
ease, and the housekeeper who aims
to reach right sanitary conditions
must engage in a constant warfare
against it. She may not shut her
eyes to the dust underneath the car
pet, or that secluded in the closets
and clutter places about her do
main; she cannot ignore the germs
in her cellar and back yard, and
dwell in sweet oblivion to the causes
Of disease among her household,
awaiting the advance Of springtime
for that aminous upheaval, the semi
annual housekeeping.
She must constantly work along
the line of prevention, and by daily
aggressiveness and watchcare keep
her premises BEAUTIFULLY clean. In
these days of labor-saving apparatus
and OF knowledge, this task need not
be such a laborious one If undertake
en- in an intelligent and systematic
manner. 1t is the lack of having
and keeping in view plan for our
work that makes it hard.
When we learn so to gauge our
work that the most can be accom-
plished with given number of
steps: so to think ahead, and in
mind arrange the details that the
thing shall be done first upon which
all the rest depends, SO that all we
do will count, we shall have gone a
long way in solving the problem of
making all homework easy.
The best work can only be done
with good tools. The utensils en-
ployed will determine the facility
with which the work can be accom-
pAshed.
Look the ground over and divide
the work into must be done daily
and "need be done weekly" divisions.
The daily work we direct toward the
removal of dust that has settled up
on floors am other surfaces, and of
all coarse dirt, with a restoration to
order of things out of place, and such
replenishings as are needed for the
daily comfort of the family. The
weekly cleaning should aim toward
a renewal of the conditions of pris-
tine cleanliness. For the ordinary
living-room it may include, besides
a thorough busting Of the ceilings,
walls, and floors, washing OF win
dows, cleaning of chandeliers, pol
fishing of CRATES, and cleaning of rugs
and furnishings.
Much of the dirt in the house is oc-
casioned by the presence of people
in the house; hence rooms In con-
slant use need daily care; but when
this is given daily, but little is need
ed, and much less energy is spent In
the everyday brushing and wiping
than must be used when the clean
ing is done in occasional spurts
With regular daily care the extra
weekly cleaning and reasonable
painstaking on the part of occupants
to keep clean, ones dwelling ought
not to require, on account Of the
dirt which has accumulated, spring
house-cleaning after the orthodox
fashion.-Home and School.
