Manv I think that owing to the peculiar for. mation of the horse's hoof a nail driv en into the wall of the foot causes no" pain, but it has lately been asserted by , expert veterinarians that though a small nail when driven into the wall ! of the hoof causes no pain, yet if the nail is clinched on the hoof with a ! hammer it induces pain, and frequently lameness. This arises from irritation caused by pounding the hoof. Ii r this is the case, then some method i should be found whereby the naih i may be clinched without" poundill j insGo Out in the Air.?Ladies often I give as a reason why they do not tukt J" exercise; "Oh, I don't like to go out Without an object."

In all our efforts to promote truthfulness we do well to begin witli culti. vating accuracy. We need not merely the moral aversion to a lie, but the practical habit, of exactness in, our ! words. Indeed, the latter, when once thoroughly acquired, will include the former, and much more. It will lead nci r?\iirlonm mid nvoid msinv forms of untruth that are now palliated and excused. There are the supposed requirements of etiquette in expressing a pleasure that is not felt and a flattery ihat is not honest. It is averred that such things, with the other "white lies" of society, do not really deceivethat they are but polite nothings, which are taken for their worth, or rather for their worthlessness. If this be so, what object do they serve or what reason can there be for continuance 1_ Are we not, by their repeated use debasing the value of language and lessening the reverence for truth? it is not necessary to tell people that they bore us; that we are glad that me evening is u\ci, ui mat u?ic iureiview has come to an end, or in afiy other way rudely lo hurt their feelings. A little of the laet which is so abundant in social circles will enable anyone to avoid impoliteness without sacrificing truth, and the truth, and the result would be a most wholesome return to sincerity, and to the real meauingof what we say. As it is, we have no means to express our real admiration and our real enjoyment when they are houestly felt. Then there is the covnmon habit of exaggeration, so lightly censured, If at all. If accuracy were esteemed a duty, how would the frequent unbridled use of sunerlalives be treated? Cer tainly not with the indulgence which is now extended to them. There would be an instinctive displeasure at the random atid overdrawn lauguage go much in vogue, and a vigilant effort to utter the exact shude of meaning, by carefully selected words. Our Euglish language is rich and full, amjdy providing abundaut means lor every gradation of thought, and every shade of feeling, for those who care to seek for it. To line it. thus is not merely an intellectual accomplisnment; it is also a moral obligation in the interests of truth, and siiouldever be so regarded. There is no doubt "that the earnest pursuit of knowledge in any direction contributes largely to the habit of accurate truthfulness. A desire and an effort to find out the truth will tend to make us careful in uttering it. To weigii ana consiuer me worua <u uuiers will help us greatly to weigh and to consider our own. Ignorance is responsible for much of the present carelessness in speecu; those who never study shades of meaning will not l>e likeiy to exercise much judgment in .selecting ihem. The cultivation of i the senses is also a valuable aid. To see keenly and clearly what we look at, and to hear acutely and correctly wheu we listen, are vast helps to the memory, and clear away many of the vagaries of the brain. In recounting these tilings, u coninseu ana vague remembrance of them often tempts us to alter and embellish so as to hide our perplexity. Could we have the courage and honesty to repeat only that which we clearly remember, perhaps our mortification at its meagre amount would strengthen our power of auction in the future. Like all habits, this one of accuracy is best laid in early years. It should I indeed be a chief element in all education, bothas a mental exercise and a moral obligation. Children brought up in an atmosphere of truth and sincerity and taught how to obtain clear ideas, and to express them simply and faithfully, will not be likeiy to violate the truth in their manhood, either in its letter or spirit.?Public Ledger. ? V "Tlie Xilleniiimn." Dilly communicated the story coniidentially to Freddie Burr. "See here," she said, pushing the * ? nf ui/inK rit.it.' alinnc nicra vi a |/au vi o?v/u? through the fence. "Where did 3'ou get 'em?" asked i Freddie. ''And see here," continued Dillv, bobbing up for an instant to show the pretty red hood that covered her yellow hair and touching it signilicantly with her finder. "Where did you get'em?" repeated Freddie. "My pa worked an' bought 'em an'brought'em home; an' ihey fliiln'h n-ut into nnbodv's barrel, eith-! er," explained Dilly with ^reat pride aud little regard for grammer, pressing her lace close against the fence foi a prolonged interview. "You nee, Freddie Burr," began Dillie, "The Nillenniuin has come to our hou.se." "The what?" said Freddie, in be wildcrnient. "TheNillentiium. It'sa pretty long word," explained Dilly complacently,! "but it means good times. Anyhow,; that's what ma called it, and I g:?ess she knows. It was just this way, Fivddie Burr. When you told nie Mr. Barney had all of our good things I just went down there ri?ht oft'and a-ked for'em?me and Tooddles." "You didn't!" exclaimed horrified Freddie. "Dili, too!" declared Dilly, with ?*mphetic nod. "Well, he wouldn't give i us one of 'em, and he was just as cross ' as anything. 80 then my pa got up t from behind tlie stove anil walked i home with iu\ Pie didn't hcold a hit, but he just sat down before the lire r this way and thinked. At last he put. his hand in one pocket, hut there was I nothing there; then ho put it in his I other pocket and found ten cents, and : he went out and bought some meat for > supper. When ma got home he talk ed to her, and they both cried. I don't 1 know what for, 'hss il was cause we didn't get the tilings out of the barrels. > And ma hugged me most to death that night, and ki.-scd me Jots, slit (lid. Well my pa jjot some work next day, and brought some money; and now f he has found a place where works ev erv day. He bought all these things, ' and he says his little hoy and girl shall I have t hings like other hoys and girls. So now you know what the Nillennium means, Freddie Jitirr, when anybody asks you: and yon can tell them f that Dilly Kene '.-plained it to you." i 1 *- ? --i 1:1 ir?..,.A nf i nert* i> in? )>iui:u uitcu m wi 11 Commons for a "nice derangement of M motnnhor."

A "Hallelujah Lassie." <lNo, I don't parade the streets in a procession for five dollars a week," i said the girl in calico; "though some I folks say that is all we have to do after I joining the Salvation Army. I don't I ever march iu the ranks except on ex- i tra occasions, when we muster in full : force, Slum brigade and all. I belong I to the Slum Brigade, you know, and my work lies in a part of town where, < just as like as not, tne sight of a girl in c the Salvation Army uniform would i rlr.iw ?i nvfwtni thof o nnH/iomon urAiil/l % have to disperse. I am on the street a 1 sjood deal, yoing from house to house, I but dressed as I am now, nobody i would take me for a Salvationist, and i so I am no more noticed than any oth- i er plain, quiet body would be. I I daren't even wear the army bonnet, ' because I want the folks around where 1 I live to think I am just one of them- i selves. It's a rough sort of neighbor- < hood, and in the evenings there's a i lot of drinking and swearing, and sometimes fighting, going on in the < tenement-house where' I have my ! room, but I ain't afraid of roughs and i rowdies; if I was, I shouldn't be fit i for I he work I have undertaken. J ' hnvpn't, nnv pdn?!!ition to sneak of. and < I should hate the worst in the world to i have t > stand up on a platform and t make an address, but I can go into a poor woman's room, if she is ailing, i and do her work for her?ses how big and strong m.\?arnis are?and then I < can sit down and talk to her in a friend- ] ly sort of way about a country where ( tliere won't be no nrore sickness or 1 suffering, where children won't go ] wrong, and babies won't die juat as i soon as they begin to take no- ( tiee. i ''Folks say that the best thing a ' tenement house baby can do for itself < is to die, but it would be hard to make < its mother believe that, no matter i whether she was a sober woman who i looks after lier childreo, or a drunkard who spent half her time on the Island. And i am thankful that I know what to do for a crotipy baby, or a (brushy baby, or one whose teeth are going bard with it. I was the eldest of the family at home, and accustomed to taking care of the children when my mother was out at her work, and since I have belonged to the Slum brigade I've come across a lot of mothers who will just hand over their babies 10 me when they get sick, and watch me while I try. to make the poor little tbingcomfortahle. When baby is all right a^nin, and before the mother gets over thinking there isn't nobody like me, then is the time to ask her to go down on her knees with me, and thank God. " 'I don't want no preaching.' said a sick woman to me when I went to see her one morning. 'I ain't much of a < liuiwt tr? nrf>iif>h ' said I. 'but f fail I make a Clip of tea with anybody and < with that I crossed over to the stove, started the tire, and made her one. Then I put on some oat meal ror her three little children's breakfast (her husband had to go ofF early to his work, and couldn't attend to things), and while it was cooking I tidied 'em up so nicely that they didn't know themselves. Not one word did I say to that woman about her soul, but now she comes to our meetings regular, and our captain says she was converted, not by my theology, l^it by my serubology. I am better at cleaning up than at expounding Scripture? that's a fact. I ain't good even at repeating texts from Scripture. I disgraced myself once in a meeting where we were all called on for texts, hxr riuinnr nr> oiwj uuviiwr mit. lnilfi li KfJ A MUM ^V'O """ ? 'Cleanliness is next to godliness.' < Some folks back of me began lo snick- | es and the girl next to me whispered ] that wasn't iti the Bible. Then I felt i so ashamed I didn't know which way i to look, and it was not any comfort to have a great fellow on the side of me ] say, 'Never mind, young lady ; if it i isn't in the Bible, itoujjht to be.' i ''Mind telling me what pay is? Not a bit. 1 have my room-rent paid, and < am supplied with food and coal, and i once in a while receive a bundle of J cast-off" clolhts. If I was to come out in new clothes, the folks in my tfiiement-house would think I was growing proud. 80 you see I didn't ' go into the work to make money, or 1 even to make a show.

A very little child can understand that a book must not be j til row 11011 thelloor, or torn, or bent j backward, or maltreated in the fifty < I small ways in which children are per- ( mitted to abuse books. Such children are due quite as much to ignorance as | to carelessness on the part of parents. | j Those who have no interest or a flee- ; ' tion for books themselves are not likely to expect it from tlieir children, A reverence for books is a part of the 1 love one bears them, and people who i have been brought up in an atinos- 1 pliere of books, or who spend much ' time in reading or study, will natur- ! ally handle a bonk respectfully them- j selves, and insist that their children ! shall do likewise. i There is much negligence shown in I the matter of returning borrowed I books, and this often by persons o 1 i whom one would expect better things! 1 For months after a book is read it is allowed to He about the house, and no ' ' special eflbrt is made to return it to its ' owner. Thai a book should be re- 1 tniMKwl ?u ciwtn nu riiml iiisif nu ivirh'i>n. I larly us ane would return a tool ufter ! using it, or a garment after wearing it, ! would appear to go without saying, j Vet it is not always the ease. And it 1 is right to insist that our children shall be as exact in this respect; that they shall, after borrowing a book, i cover it neatly?if it be a nicely bound i jone?treat it carelully while in their possession, and return it promptly when tinishi'd. Not only is this siin- i pie justice to the owner, but such | [ teaching will go far toward making a < j child particular^ubout the property of < others. < ? riarper s mzar. < A begging letter asking for a pair; of cast-ofl' trousers closed pathetically [ witli these words.

This is not going to be an advertise- .. ment advising you to take some mixture which, while it may relieve the '. tickling in your throat, is quite likely Lo make you sick somewhere else. The , medicine we want you to use is very limply, is made of but one thing, and that is Will Power. ^ "Make myself stop coughing?. I i ?an't do that." Ah, but you can very jften when you think you cannot. If you have a burn, when it is nearly . ivell it will itch* you will want /ery much to scratch it. But you are P :old, "Don't do that, it will only make t worse." and if you are wise you let L it alone. When you want to cough it * is because some spot in your throat. bronchial tubes, or Jdngs is sore and :f )? a il i i t> i_ .1 ./* til iiunea. -uauKing uuugu uoes lor , this sore spot just what scratching or P.! rubbing would do for a sore on the out- , side of your body : it only makes it P' tvorse. DJ A lady who was brought up by a J? i*ery stern grandma told nje that when * <he coughed in the night her grandma . il ways whipped her. I asked her if ^ t cured her cold and her answer was, 'No, but it stopped the cough. I IT teemed to remember even in my sleep what would happen if I coughed, and ?u ;he dread kept me from coughing." I am not recommending whlppingas i cough medicine, but tell this to show what the use of the will power can accomplish. In a children's hospital in tfew York half the children sick with *>f colds in various stages were put iu one ar ward and forbidden to cough, being a kept from it both by fear of punishment and hope of reward. The other tt jnuaren were pui iu anoiner waru ana n il lowed to caugh all they pleased. se 1'his was an experiment to see wlieth- w ?r coughing helped or hindered recov- OC ;ry, and it was found that it hindered yery decidedly, as the children who wete not allowed to cough were cured e' much more quickly than the others, ?' hough in every other way their treat- ?| aierat was the same. Jsow that you know it ie better for Ia pou not to cough, and that yov need not if you will not, will you try the next time you have a cold this strange cough medicine? It isn't bitter any 8C way, anu certainly wui noi uurt you, jven if it does not help you, and if does uot cost anything. P' Here is a.story which tells how one at minister proved to his people that they P' 3ould keep more quiet if they tried: J? "It was during the prevalence of the influenza last winter that the Rev. Dr. Si Blank gave gave his cougregation a reminder that will not soon be forgot- n, ten. The various forms under which ^ the epidemic .presented itself had in q sommon the faculty of making people sough in church, and the disturbance q\ which crosefrom this source set all the sensitive nerves of thei- divine on wlfTe. ni "One Sunday morning in particular A it seemed as if half the people in the cl congregaion were coughing alreaby, 01 while the others were rapidly joining m in Willi them from the sheer force of H jxample. to "Dr. Blunk whs preachiug eloquent- T ly that morning, and partly with the pj interest in his subject, and partly from Si ;he necessity of raising his voice to lo uake himself heard, he was part'cu- . arly impressive. Suddenly, with no naming whatever, he stopped in the yery midst of a sentence, and stood perfectly silent. Surprise held the * congregation silent also. tt "It is well-known to physicians that persons taken by suprise will stop coughing, and during tue moment for S( which Dr. Blank stood regarding his congregation not a single cough was 0j lieard in the church. The preacher iield the attention of the audience for v space which, although really brief, Cl under tne circumstances seemed long. "I paused to remind you," he said at 0f length, 'that coughing is more largely under a person's control than we are lccuslomed to suppose.' w "He took up the thread of his dis- h course and went on, but for therestof that day at least th^re was remarkable fj little coughing in that church." 0j To most persons, "Old Mother gt GJoose" is us much a creature the hu- w tnan imagination as Cinderella. The fac} that she is as much a historical character as Martha Washington or w Molly Starke will come with a thrill ^ af surprise to those who have been ac- 01 2uatomed to regard her as a companion stfade of Jack the Giant Killer.
