Tne feature on wiilcn I want to lay special stress Is that which Is generally known as the *tage ol incubation or the prodromic symp- ( lorn, or the symptoms tbat one experiences when the fever is taklug charge of the system. In oraer to make tnis plclln to every one I : will cite a case to illustrate wbat I wlsL to impress on the public mind: J. B.. age 2.% white, lamlly history good, a powerful spec imeu of young manhood. He was superintending outdoor work, requiring exposure to suu.etc. He came to me wltb the usual feeling of lassltuUe, heailacbe, loss of appetite, lever, coaled tongue, red around edges, anu j tremulous when he pointed It out of his * | mouth. I began Ibe usual treatment lollow ' ed in such cases hoping that it was a case of periodical malariai fever. 1 lound after three < jr lour days that my antluote lor malarial POMUUIDK U1U uuguuu nuoicitii, <.uu >? er, languor, pains and lassitude continued. .Alter the the third day I urged iny patldnt to ' go to bed, out he said he thought he could wear it out. Alter nearly a week, of dragging .tloug be gave up aud seul lor uie aud 1 weui I viiti dread lu my heart, as I knew what most likely would be the termination of the oaso. Well, alter being three days in bed { without auy warning he began to bleed copiously from the bowels. All the doctors in iowu were called in but we could do nothing nut stand aud watch blm bleed to death. s Now mat patient was the cause of his own 8 death by not listening to his physician. He should have gone to bed when he was first told. In this continued lever the bowels are, [ in a majority oi the cases, the seat of the InUamatiun aud the locatlou of the poisoning 0 mat causes this. It will be lound out that uo medication win stop a genuine case ol continued lever. bo If you take active medicine, t tonics, aud everything else "old women" and * -smart aiecs" tell you to lake and you still (eel badly, go aud see your doctor aud 11 lie Knows any tuiug about fever he will put you io bed and keep you there till ten days after r the lever leaVes, and eight days after you be c come as huugry as a woll. Remember this r le*er is well limited, runs a natural course, wheu there ase complications and I don't be Aun niira || Knt h? i?un vculnh _ IIOCOUJ U.IVIU. w. ... ?V n it and combat bad By my tomb aud ward them ' off. t it is also loiporiaut for us to remember tbat ^ood water, well cooked loud, and uol too .uucb ol the latter, are safeguards agaluBt r taklug tins lever into our systems. Tbe mistake most, people make Is Dot giving * up to It lu time and tbey go until tbey Ian i down, aud you will llud tbat tbe majority ol ibesekludn ul cases dieeituer of hetiiorrbege or perioratlou ol tbe bowels,or beart laliure. r It will be well to remember tbat this (Job- | tluut-d Fever comes on gradually and terml- t nates in death or recovery gradually. t Xu tbe periodical or malarial levers the attack is sudden and tbe termination or interval is more abrupt, tbe former Is stubborn 4ud does uol respond to any treatment and tue latter readily re*pouds to the proper medication given by the proper person. ? t t HOW FIRES MAY START. . c Several 'i'liliiff* That Will Cause fipou- t iHiieous ConibiiNllou. Damp lampblack will Ignite from the Bun's rays. The same Can be suid of cotton waste t moist with lard or other animal oil. Lamp- \ black and a little oil or watir will uuder certain conditions Ignite spontaneously. XIiHeadd and charcoal create spontaneous com- : bustlot). New printers' ink ou paper when lu contact with a steam pipe will Ignite quickly. Boiled Unseed oil aud turpentine in equal parts on cotton waste will Ignite In a tew nours under a mild heat and will In time createcnougn bent to ignite spontaneously, says Ciissler's Magazine. Bituminous coal should not be stored where It will come In contact wltb wood partitions or columns or t against warm boiler settings or steam pipes. I'uls coal should not be very deep if It Is to be . kept In storage lor a long period If piled In H the basemeut of a building It should be shallow and free from moisture and under good . ventilation. That liable to absorb moisture '! should be burned first. If on Are a small quautlty 01 water showered on this klndol coal chokes It and . retards auy great supply U of water reaching ihefire. thus necessitating the overhauling of the pipe. Iron chips, filings or turnings should not be stored In a t shop In wooden boxes. The only waste t which Is not infrequently thrown among them adds to tbe danger of fire from this source. The sweeping Irom the machine r Hriup, li k-epu on iihuu, xiiuuiu uever ub piuueu ? over Iron shavings. This mass of dlslnte- 8 grated iron is enough to incite heat and combustion. Iron and steel filings and turnings when mixed with oil will ignite spontaneous- ( ly after becoming damp. A steam pipe | against wood will cause the latter to Ignite spontaneously after oelug carbonized, particularly if superheated steam enteis the j pipe, thus increasing the temperrture. Part of the very nobility of the devotion of the true workmen to his work consists in the fact that a mail is not daunted by finding that drudgery must be done. ! A considerable part of what we re- ; ceive is not what we receive, but the gratitude that grows out of it and the uir?sni? wuiuu iuiiows me expression of that gratitude. If you could know the value of the goMeu moments now, as you will see them as you stand at the rim of the grave and look back, how earnest would be your work! It is not work that kills men, it is worry. Work is healthful. You can hardly put more upon a man than he can bear. It is not the revolution that destroyed the machinery, but the friction. It is not alone angry or unjust words that wound our friends. The thoughtless words that bring up afresh some sorrow, or that awaken a painful consciousness of personal defects, often make a deeper hurt than any others. It's poor folishness to run down j your enemies. Hatred and revenge i never harm any one so much as the . hater and still he will not let his de ' j stroyer go. ! Let the current of your being set tol ward God then your life will be filled and calmed by one master passion * which unites and stills the soul. ' I The sting of death is sin. I'oimtotl rarasrrnphs.

When one kind ol musical crank grin music out ol a bund organ It makes the otb kind gel up and bowl. Reflection* or a Bachelor. A man has a lot more friends on his p day than he has on theirs. A woman likes to have her husband ? mad and swear, so she can give thanks s is a devout Cbrlsiiau. It's mighty queer how a bigamist can U all bis wlveH wben a man who has only o can'tcome within a million miles of toolii her. When a girl says she Is unhappy for young man who wants to marry her and sa necau'c live without her she looks as u happy as when she is having an ice crea soda. ll'liiilnmV Wliluvwkf When a girl laughs at a man's idle chart ter he at om;e imagines nimself entertai lug. Men occaBionally carry fun bo far that becomes annoying. A woman Is apt to take offense when mun meets her sallies of wit. The woman who constantly complaines the one who understands herself least. Giddy girls can convert sensible men In objects 01 derision. It takes a man by surprise when a womi Intelligently contradicts his pet theories. Brain LenkN. Sourness is not sanctification. The man who whistles at his wor seldom slights it. rne man wtio forgets easiest lias u clearest conscience. Only fools envy the man who is tt ilave of his money. Clean politics will come when clea iien get into it and stay in. When money talks it seldom h{ iny trouble m finding a listener. Honestly now, did you ever ha\ i really good time at a "churc locial ?" A man usually has to work doubl lard for two weeks after a vacation i rder to get rested up. Some men look upon a house i >eiug merely a place where they ca est up for the next day's work. .The boy who never had a gram nother is going to miss some pr< iious recollections when he is nan. There is plenty of room at the toj Pile trouble is in the awful iam firoiin he botlom of the ladder. If the average man could do i nuch work as he thinks he can thei vould be' iittle demaud for labor sa\ ng machinery. The trouble with the "trustees c >rovidence" is that they claim a heir successes as their own and blair heir failures on providence. ' Reflection* of n Bachelor. Maids and married womentdresp f( he envy of other women ; widows f< he temptation of men. The mau who has a lot of insurant tould almost fool with a pistol that lot loaded without getting hurt. Once there was a girl who wouldn >elieve men when they told her sb vas pretty, but she w^s in a book. When a girl refuses to marry a duk t is because he refuses to ask her. Pointed Paragraph*. Better be not at all than not I lonest. Kleptomaniacs draw the line at tal ng hints. A graiu of sand in a man's makeu 3 worth two in the sugar. Art is long?especially the kin ised in the production of panorama! There are some positions that seer o require men who don't know ver nuch. A man who picks another man >ocket is almost mean enough to wril in auonymous letter. The lobster lays 42,000 eggs a yea jlo to the lobster, thou hen, consid< ler ways and get busy. Now is the season at hand when tl jiuwh-ujj u?uj,uier ui me uouseij.oi ueanders down to the front gate i :he gloamiug and looks wistful. Kusy To Be A "Nobody." It is the easiest thing in the wor to be a''nobody." All that is neee ?ary is to do nothing, or to be like tl boy who, when questioned by Liis f ther as to why he has resfused his p sition as clerk in a store, replie* "The work was too hard ; I am loo ing for something easy." Look for a "soft snap." Do not g up in the morning until you feel lil it. Do not go to work until you a obliged to. Do not nut yourself o to meet engagements. Never inii if you miss a train, or if you art.' lit an hour late at your work. If you a at school, do not trouble about pi paring your lessons, "('rib" vrhe ever you can, cheat as often as posi hie, and get the best of your teach whenever you see a chance, and yo progress will be assured. If you are in college, never mil about a scholarship; the main thii is to slide through. You can erapli a tutor at the close of each term ai "cram" for the examination. Ha "a good time," and never bother, abo results?they will take care of the] selves. Do not try to do things as well you can ; any way will do. If you : sawing a board, do not exact yoi self to naw it straight. If you start ??olra n c:loil fl tin(llrn*lUO llf>\ mi mi about completing it; or, if y | do, put it together anyhow.

Parents have been known to dismiss the question of their children's education in this summary way, while they have gone on adding field to field aud house to house. They have neither an understanding of the value of an education nor of their parental obligations to seek the highest good of their children. They value houses and lands and merchandise more than cultivated minds and hearts; aud hence they are unwilliDg to use a part of their possessions in fitting their children for some higher mission in life than mere money-getting. It is possil_ 1 _ A. _ 1 1 J _ J . 1 1 A. l_ _ Die 10 uuju a uonar so near me eye as to shut out of view the starry heaveus. It need scarcely be said that such a selfish and purblind policy defeats itself. It is a matter of common observation that the educated class, the world over, is the class that controls the wealth and eujoys the largest ahare of creature comforts. And they know how to enjoy them in the best and truest sense. Refinement and culture enables them to multiply many fold the power of their material resources to yield real pleasure and satisfaction. Icnorance is waste. Lack of money is often the plea of indolence and shiftlenesa? Any young men of good heart, with two strong arms, and with no one dependent on bis efforts for support ought to be ashamed to confess that be wants a college education and is unable to get it. If he is really in'earnest, and is willing to work, he can accomplish it. Not in four years, perhaps, but what matters that? His labor is unproductive, indeed, if he can not earn enough in rne year to pay his expenses in college the next. And the matter becomes easier each successive year for his earning capacity increases with each year of training. That such an undertaking requires pluck and perseverance, is freely admitted ; but surely these old fashioned graces have not entirely disappeared in this age of haste and short cuts. The boy who gets an education in this way learns many valuable lessons thai are not included in the curriculum of any college lessons that will prove immeasur- , ably more valuable than the tuition he has paid. The boy has laid the foundation of a sturdy manhood, and uttered a sure prophecy of higher attainments yet to be reached. We know in advance that he shall far outstrip in the race of life the boy who has not learned in the school of struggle the lessons of self-mastery, selfreliance, and courag6 in the face of difficulties. Erskine College was founded and in maintained for the purpose of bringing a college education within the reach of young men of small means; and it covets nothing so much as the opportunity of extending help to that class of students described above. Among the thousands who have gone out from this institution during the sixty-five years of its labors, a large per cent, of those who have accomplished most for themselves, for society, the church and the state belong to the number of those who acouired their equipment by struggle and self denial. I wish that propriety would permit me to write down Home names in proof of this?names that would be recognized by all who read these lines as occupying a commanding place iu the various professions and business positions around them. What has been done bv them may be done by hundreds of young men who are allowing their whole lives to be narrowed and circumscribed because difticuties seem to hedge about their ways. lIitiltlon'n LochI*.
