A stiulriiU Troubles. I thought when IM learned rnv letters Tlmt all my troubles were ?l<?nt-; Hut I find m\self much mistuken? They only have just begun. Learning to reaii was awtul. But nothing like learning to write; IM be sorry to have you tell it, l!ut tny copy book is a sijjl't, ThereM be som? comfort in learning II <>ne could gel through; instead Of that there are books awaiting. Quite enough tb craz.* my head. Tt.ert's the multiplication luMe Ami grammar. and?U. dear me! There's no good place for stopping. \ When one lias begun, 1 see.

Hail etch to becin as 1 ?lo; If that's so, where's my pen? Why Loan Heat Ik Poisonous. Is lean meat diseased? Why shouldn't it be? The instant the animal is killed there is a certain amount of refuse or impure matter on its way to be excreted, the same as in the hu^ man form. Life stops and so does these diseased germ?. They arc in the flesh when we crave it up, every libre is fill. ed with them and carnivorous man calls it luscious. Did you ever know of a drunkard who was not a hearty meat eater? Certainly not. .Stimulating food leads to stimulating drinks. n't. ulmll MPVI*!' llJlVl* I ucj lining ucucv u x., x. ? . , less drunkards so long as moat is eaten. These, mind you, are facts 1 believe I have worked out during a live years stretch of Vegetarian habits. Yes, lagrippe is the direct result of meat eating and in less than ten years the fact will be heralded abroad by eminent scientists and physicians. My experience as a Vegetarian leads me to believe I would lather be a little previous and escape the poisonous germs, those we read about so often in the papers, and let the other fellow devour them while I wait.?Eccentric in Grand Radids Democrat. 1'Neftil to Know. Cold air retains more moisture than warm. Thoroughly cook your meet?especially pork. Candy and cakes are distructive to the teeth. Better give the children loaf sugar than candy. Soil should not be worked when it will stick to the polished hoe. Use a small, soft sponge to apply the blacking to a stove. Tannin mixed with mutton tallow is good for chapped hands. Put a teaspoon of salt into a kerosene lamp once in awhile. A good.sized sponge is nice for clean ing paint and washing windows. A large, soft sponge, either dry or slightly dampened, makes a good 'duster. A paste made of equal parts of lard aud powdered chalk will cure corns. Throw a quantity ofsalt in the stove if the chimney is on lire and there is danger from sparks; if not, let it hum. Nitre is excellent for a cold, especially a feverish one. Use ten drops to a teaspoonful, according to age, once in four hours. Potato Soup.?Fry a medium sized onion, sliced thin, in half a cup of butter, an'd then pour on it a quart of milk and let the two come to a hoi I. Mix too cupfuls of cold mashed potatoes, beaten smoothly, into the boiling soup. Boil all together a few moments, reason with salt and pepper, and serve. Fie PrftiPrvod. Take the weight of the ligs in sugar. Peel the fruit and place it in a jar. Make a svrup of the sugar by adding a small quantity of water and boiling well. While the syrup is boiling hot pour it over the tigs, and let them stand in the syrup .over'night. It is best to do this at supper time. The next morning take the tigs out of the jar, draining oft'the syrub. Spread the tigs on large dishes and let them remain in the air all day. They will have to be covered with netting to protect them from the yellow-jackets. At night make the syrup boiling hot again, pour it over the figs wmcn nave beeu replaced in the jar, letlthem stand all night, and expose them to the auditing the day. Do this live times, then the preserves are made, and none of the delicious tig flavor is lost. Pit in. Did you ever realize that pain is a good thing? It is our warning that something is wrong with the machinery of our bodies. Nature does not often strike us behind our hacks or in the dark. She gives warning. It would be 110 blessing to the child to bump his head an<1 feel no hurt, or to put his hand against the stove and experience no burn. * Garrulous stranger (on the train.)? My wife's name was wood.

IIow a 311rrow is .llatie We have been asked to give a brief description of how :i mirror is made. j Here it is : A large stone table is used which has underneath il a screw, hyj means of which the table can be declined when desired. Around the edge of the table is a groove, the use of which will be made known presently.! While the surface of the table is perfeetly level, tin-foil is carefully laid all! over it. A strip of ylass is then laid on i each of three sides of the foil, and. quicksilver is poured on till it is nearly j [ a quarter of an inch dnep. The alii 11- j itv of the quicksilver for the tin-foil, - 9 .. i.. i... 4 I t.^. ;mi<1 ino obstruction mum: u.y uu- ?ni|w j oi' glass, prevent it from flowing oil*, i Th?i plate of glass in (ended for the mirror, having been carefully cleaned, is | now slipped in upon the quicksilver j I through the side where no glass strip was placed, and is held firm while thej table is inclined by nieansof the screw, J so as to let the superfluous quicksilver | run off into the groove along the edge I of the table. That having been done, I the table is brought back to a level,' heavy weights are put upon the glass, j and it is then left for several hours. The next step is to take the glass from 1 the table and put it in a frame, the coated side up. The coating or amalgam as it is technically called soon becomes so dry as to allow the plate to' stand on its edge, but it can not bej | used for several weeks longer. This' I method of making mirrors is the best' jin use, and was invented by the Veneti-i 1.11.* in rhf> sixteenth centurv. Iiad Manners.?No girl can be a lmly who a fleets anything she is not or has not; yet this lustiness and pretense the absence of "modest stillness and humility," are, all over the country, the curse of girl's schools, reaches its last limits in the city high schools; a streetcar full of theolder girls of one of these institutions, overdressed eager for the notice of one of the passengers, talking in a loud "hollerin', " confidant to the last degree in the power of their own attractiveness, ignorant of what reserve means, and anxious that J every word they say should be heard j by every one in ten rods, is perhaps as I disheartening a spectacle of the kind; sic our civilization nresents. because it' indicates the absence of all moral and j social training from the most impottant seats of education we have. When these girls marry, they still continue' to live in an atmosphere of sham, and i are victims of a sort of false t-hamej about their mude of life. Not one in a hundred of them has been prepared 1 by training to meet anything in the) shape of an unexpected visit or intrusion, with cheerful courtesy or even 1 calm forlitude. On the contrary, the school influence, in nine cases out of ten, have helpen to give to the discovery by a stranger that they do not al-j ways dress and eat as they seem to do I on gala days, the air of a calamity i which the strongest natures can be expected to resist. The result has been both in the United States and in England, almost to extinguish simple and informal hospitality, aii average i woman, anions plain people, is crush-i ed by a friend dropping unexpectedly in to a meal, and sits at the table in silent and flustered pain, whereas heri edueation ought to have prepared her to meet such crises with a smiling! front, if not with positive enjoyment.! Part of the drill of every school ought I to be the reception l>v a wife in an old j gown, to a dinner of corned beef and < cabbage, of an unlooked for guest,! thoughtlessly brought in by a leekless husband. Don't Get Them Mixed. Many workers fall into the habit of' treating people en masse, making no distinction between them. Here is a story with a moral: At a conference of colored preachers in Indiana a report was brought up which criticised in a general way the pastors who hud not taken proper interest in Sunday-schools. Instantly a brother was on his feet. "Hishop," he cried, "I'se 'gint dat turner: it 'flectson this whole Conf'nce." i The liishop replied (hat the brother! was too sensitive, mid that the report,' would hurt no preacher who was doing I ihis duty. Instantly, however, a second objector was on his feet. "IV posed to dat' port, too, IJishop." "State your objection," said the chair. "Bishop," answered the objector, "de man dat don't hab liens on him don't want to be put in de bug and shuk up wid de man what hab de lleas on him." This settled the question, and "dat paper" went back to the committee to be modified to suit the occasion. Boys, Read Tills. Cluiuncy Depew, against whom no one would think of charging a Puritanic spirit, speaks as follows on ilu* temperance question: "Twenty live years ago I knew every innu, woman and child in Peekskill. Ami il lias been a study with me to mark boys who started in every grade of life with myself, to see what has become of them. I was up last fall and began to count them over, and it was an instructive exhibit. Some of them became clerks, merchants, manufacturers, lawyers, doctors It is remarkable that every one of those who drank is dead; not one living of my age. Barring a few who were taken off by sickness, every one who proved a wreck and wrecked his family did it from rum, and no other cause. Of - - ' ? most? who weiu cnmun iiruju^ who were steady, industrious and hard working men, who were frugal and thrifty, every single one of them, without an exception, owns the house in which he lives and lias something laid by, the interest of which, with his house, wovld carry him through inunv a rainy day. When a man becomes debased with gambling, rum or drink, he dees not care; all his finer feelings are crowded out. The poor women at home are the ones who sudor?sutler in their teuderest emotions; sutler in their affections for those whom they love better than life.''?Herald and Presbyter.
