Girls, take good care of your health.
Don't think because you are perfectly well
now you can expose yourselves In every
way, and because it never did hurt you,
that it never will It is no light matter to
trifie with ones health, for it is too often
a blessing too little appreciated until lost.
know how you feel about such things,
for was once a thoughtless girl too; and
although had kind mother to give me
advice, which have often wished l had
taken, / thought then / knew best and
only found out my mistake when IS was
too late. How often do you do as didg
Change thick and heavy clothing for light
er, and heavy shoes for thin gaiters, to go
sleighing, or to some party or singing
school. Then have you not come chilled
through, and risen next morning with the
headache, swollen eyes, and generally
uncomfortable feeling? Don't do so, girls.
Don't follow fashions that will make you
sacrifice your health. If you do, you will
be old women at thirty, in spite of all the
embellishments you can give your faces;
for if your health is ruined, you will have
little pleasure in anything else.


I once knew young girl who was as
healthy and hearty as one usually sees,
who walked home from party In thin
shoes. through the dewey grass she
caught cOlu WHICH settiSo on AAoA -.
and in a short time carried her to her grave,
She is NOT the only one who has shortened
her life by her own carelessness. HOW
many we see who are killing themselves
by lscing. I think it is pitiful sight to
see an unnaturally slender waist, and eyes
projecting from the head from the COM
preston, while the victims of their own
foolishness are unable to eat one third as
much as they need, for fear their misery
will be more than they can bear. No SEN
sible girl will do this, and no one ever
would if she could only know the suffer-
ing she will have to endure in after years;
Take advice, then; dress so that you zee,

IF such generosity as that of Mrs. Prim-
rose, who gave each of her girls guinea
to keep in her pocket, but with strict in
functions never to change it, would satisfy
the greedy youngsters of our generation,
their parents would not object to its exer-
else. The children, however, of these
days are provoked by too many tempta-
tions to expense, to be contented with
being made the mere depositaries of mon
ey. They know too well the capabilities
of a dollar to be satisfied with the ring and
touch of it. 1t is not possible to keep the
young in ignorance of that which fulfills
so universal and important a function in
the relations of the world as money. They
must necessarily, from the earliest age, be-
come more or less familiar with its power,
and it is desirable that they should learn,
as soon as possible, how to use it with dis
cretion.


1t is prudent practice, we think, to
give children a regular allowance of mon
ey. This, apart from the opportunity it
supplies of gratifying their small and in
nocent desires, and thus adding to their
happiness, affords parents and guardians
periodical occasions for intoxicating discre-
ton in expenditure, and observing the eff
feet.


When children are somewhat advanced
in years, it is we'll to make the allowances
of money sufficiently large not only to pay
for the innocent enjoyments which are per-
mitted, but for various articles of need.
They thus learn early to discriminate be-
tween necessary and unnecessary expendi-
ture, and with the not infrtquent good re-
suit of checking the latter.


| Parents should be, within certain pru-
dent limits, as generous in their allow
ances of money to children as their means
will permit Lord Bacon says: THE il
| liberality of parents in allowance toward
their children is harmful error, and
makes them base, acquaints them with
shifts, makes them sort with mean COM
pany, and makes them surfeit more when
they come to plenty; and therefore the
proof is best when men keep their au-
thority towards their children, but not
their purse"


The tendency of youth to excess must
always be regarded as reasonable motive
for keeping the supply of pocket money
within reasonable limits. No child should
have the means of inordinate indulgence
and as his capacity of stomach for tarts
and sweets is only to be checked by the
emptiness of his purse, it becomes neces.
sary to compensate for the boundlessness
OF the one by the smallness of the other


There is negative advantage in the
pocket-money system which has been
proved in the course of a considerable ex.
perience in the discipline of children


ihe Withholding of the regular allowance
has been found, like the stoppage of the
sailors ration of grog, or the prisoners
supply of tobacco, an easily applicable and
most effective means of punishment. We
have known many ayoungster, unterrifeG
by the threats of the rod and the darE
closet, however imminent, subdued at tht
least hint of the possibility of losing hi
pocket money.-Harper' Bazar.

Is the great remedy that physicians appeal to
and use almost entirely in all diseases of the
Liver. There are thousan at the present time
that are suffering with the rheumatic int In

has created disease of its own worse than that
which it was intended TO cure. There is DO

should not be dealt out as il has been, and is at

what they are doing, but in reality do not. The
Liver il more liable TO disease than any other
organ in the human system, and when that fails
to do its duty it leaves the weak points of the
body exposed, as the bile is not thrown of, but
taken up by the blood as it passes through this
great filter of the system. and becomes impure.

Legion. There are many that suffer from pain
in the side and across the body, dull, heavy,

The first cargo Of railroad iron for the
CarOndelet Street and Carrollton City
Railroad Company has arrived at this port
on the ship Ella s. Thayer, and all of our
citizens will be rejoiced TO learn that in a
short time we shall have another street
railroad to CarrolltOn.


The residents in the upper portion Of tn e
Sixth District. and all real estate owners
in and near Carrollton. will hail the advent
of new line Of cars with something more
than the usual encouragement that has
characterized that intelligent and hard
working portion of our population.


The road is already under contract, and
Mr.. B. S. Harrison, the contractor, will en-
ter upon the work at once.


The present line of street railroad cars to
and from Carrollton is entirely inadequate to
accommodate the wants of the public, and
we have seen five car loads Of passengers
waiting for an opportunity to ride when
there was only one car at the station. The
new line will be a great and needed conve.
nience to people who reside between the
line of st. Charles avenue and the swamp.
and Will bring into the market building lots
that have hitherto been ineligible to a con-
siderable extent.

The venerable VIM. Cullen Bryant, in
letter tells how he spends his time, and
keeps in health. He says:


rise early; at this time of the year
about $50 ; in summer, half an hour or
even an hour, earlier. Immediately,
with very little incumbrance of clothing,
begin series Of exercise, for the most
part designed to expand the chest, and
at the same time call into action all the
muscles and articulations of the body.
These are performed with dumb-bells,
the very ightest, covered with flannel /;
with pole, horizontal bar, and light
chair swung around my head. After q
full hour, and sometimes more, passed
in this manner, I bathe from head to
foot When at my place in the country,
/ sometimes shorten my exercise in the
chamber, and, going out, occupy myself
for half an hour or more in some work
which requires brisk exercise. After
my bath, if breakfast be not ready, sit
down to my studies until am called.


My breakfast is a simple one-hominy
and milk, or, in place Of hominy, brown
bread, or oatmeal, or wheaton grit,
and in the season, baked sweet apples.
Buckwheat cakes I do not decline, nor
any other article Of vegetable food, but
animal food never take at breakfast.
Tea and coffee never touch at any time
Sometimes I take a cup Of chocolate,
which has no narcotic effect, and agrees
with me very well. At breakfast ] often
take fruit, either in its natural state or
freshly stewed.


After breakfast I occupy myself for a
while with my studies, and then, when
in town, I walk down to the Office OF the
Evening Post, nearly three miles distant,
and after about three hours return, al
ways walking, whatever be the weather
or the state of the streets. In the coun-
try I am engaged in my literary tasks
till feeling of weariness drives me out
into the open air, and I go upon my
farm or into the garden, and prune the
trees, or perform some other work about
them which they need, and then go
back to my books. I do not often drive
out, preferring to walk.


In the country I dine early, and it is
only at that meal that I take either meat
or fish, and OF these but o moderate
quantity, making my dinner mostly Of
vegetables. At the meal which is call
ed tea, I take only little bread and
butter, with fruit if it be on the table.
In town, where I dine later, make but
two meals day. Fruit makes consid-
cradle part of my diet, and I eat it at
almost any hour Of the day without in
convenience. Ny drink is water, yet I
sometimes, though rarely, take glass
Of wine. I am naturally temperance
man, finding myself rather confused
than e1hilarated by wine. never med
die with tobacco, except to quarrel with
its use.


That may rise early, I, Of course, go
to be bed early; in town, as early as ten,
in the country, somewhat earlier. For
many years have avoided in the even
ing every kind of literary occupation
which tasks the faculties, such as COM
position, even to the writing Of letters,
for the reason that it excites the nervous
system and prevents sound sleep.

FREAK OF LUNATIc.-As two civil
engineers were at work in the wilds OF
Michigan couple of weeks ago, eight
cen or twenty miles from any camp, one
of them began to suspect that the other
had become insane-a suspicion which
was made certainty when his companion
came to him and said: 81 wish You
would hide my revolver, and the axes,
for came very near killing you with
them last night. Igot the revolver and
cooked it at your head three times, but
something told me not to kill you with
that, but to get the gun and then l was
commanded not to kill you then, but am
afraid I will if you don't hide them, and
God knows don't want to hurt any
man. This was not very pleasing in
formation, and he did his best to per-
suade him to go back to the camp.
Failing in this he left him went back
alone, procured assistance, and the un-
fortunate man is now in an asylum.

THE LAST LITTLE GAME.-Among the
implements used by confidence operators
to trap the unwary on railroad cars and
steamboats,, is patent paddock, which
opens on the side with small fiat key.
The confidence man exhibits the paddock,
and dilates upon its merits, claiming that
no one except himself (the INVENTOR
could open it, even with the key, with
out understanding peculiar twist.
Opening it several times, he induces
greenhorn to say that he can do it, and
in the heat Of the argument which the
assertion usually brings forth bet is
made. The confidence man then hands
the unsuspecting victim the paddock and
q different key from the one which opens
the lock but the eye cannot readily
detect the difference, the change being
made with the adroitness which charac-
terizes the operations Of the three card
monte swindlers. OF course the victim
cannot open the lock and loses his
money. This is the latest swindle, and
it is to be hoped the press will ventllate
it. Beware Of genteel-looking men with
patent padlocks.

Inc Three ShIpS.
Over the waters clear and dark
Flew, like startled bird, our bark.
All the day long with steady sweep
Sea-gulls followed us over the deep.
Weird and strange were the silent shores,
Rich with the wealth of buried ores.
Mighty the forests. old and gray.


With the secrets locked in their hearts away;
Semblance of castle and arch and shrine
lowered aloft in the clear sunshine;
And we watched for the warder stern and grim.
Over that wonderful northern sea,
As one who sailed in dream sailed we,
Till, when the young moon scared on high.
Nothing was round us but and sky.
Far in the east the pale moon swung
crescent dim in the azure hung;
But the sun lay low in the glowing west,
With bars of purple across his breast.
The skies were afame with the sunset glow,
The pillows were all at1ame below;
The far horizon seemed the gate
To some mystic worlds enchanted state;
And all the air was a luminous mist,
Crimson and amber and amythySt.
Then silently into that fiery sea-
Into the heart of the mystery
Three ships went sailing one by one,
The fairest visions under the sun.
Like the flame in the heart of a ruby set
We're the sails that flew from each mast of Jet
While darkly against the burning sky
Streamer and pennant hoated high.
Steadily, silently, on they pressed
Into the glowing, reddening west;
Until en- the far horizons fold,
They slowly passed through its gate of gold.
You think, perhaps, they were nothing more
Than schoOners laden with common ore?
When Care crossed hands with grimy Toll,
And the decks were stained with earthly moil
Oh, beautiful ships. who sailed that night
Into the west from our yearnlng sight,
Full know that the freight ye bore,
Was laden not for an earthly shore!
To some fair realm ye were sailing on,
Where all we have lost shall yet be won;
Ye were bearing thither world of dreams,
Bright as that sunsets golden CLEANS; W"
And hopes whose tremulous rosy flush
Grew fairer still in the twilight hush;
Ye were bearing hence to that mystic sphere
| Thoughts no mortal may utter here
Songs that on earth may not be sung
Words too holy for human tongue
The golden deeds that we would have done
The fadeless wreathes that we would have won
And hence it was that our souls with you
Traversed the meaSureless waste of blue,
Till you passed under the sunset gate.
And to us voice said, softly, Wait"

SALT LAKE, October 20-The Court


was occupied all day with the Hawkins
adultery case. The cross examination
OF Mrs. Hawkins elected nothing ma
terally new. She testified that Haw-
kins gave no reason for taking the other
women for his wives, except that she
has had her day and it was proper that
he should have some one else. She
said she had borne him seven children
up to the time he took another wife
The defense offered no testimony except
to prove the marriage OF Hawkins with
the second and third wife. Gen. Max
well spoke for the prosecution, and as
suming that the defense would rest upon
the plural marriage as being part Of
a religious faith, he argued that poly
gamy was in direct violation of both
ecclesiastical and common law. He
concluded at late hour. For the de-
fense it was contended that Hawkins
being Mormon, he had no intention Of
committing a crime, and the intention
was essential TO conviction; that there
was no law against polygamy. When
he took twenty wives he could not be
guilty of adultery, because he was le-
gally married to the women, according
to the usages and customs of the Nor
mon Church. United States Attorney
Bask will sum up this evening, after
which the case will 60 to the jury.
A number of additional arrests for las
