Especially is this the case where there are little people toddling about. ready to fall into all kinds of danger upon the slightest— often upon no provocation. Every housekeeper. especially every mother. should know just what to do for bruised heads, out fin- gers. burned hands, and so on through the list of ills to which children especially are subject. The further away one is from physicians and pharmacies. the more iiecessai'y it is that the house.hold should be sufficient un- to itself. There should l)e a mediciiie chest~better still. a medicine closet~in every home. This does not mean an assortnient of drugs. l)ut merely a collection. in one place. where they are at hand when needed. of the simple remedies that are always inde- niaiidiii a home. If one waits for money and time to fit up a medicine closet outright. the chances are there will never be one. but it is a simple matter to establish a nucleus. and that once done. the collection grows almost without one‘s knowing when. In stead of having to turn the house upside down fora bit of cotton» wool when Sally has the tooth- ache. or keeping Simon screaiii- ing with the colic while the pep- permint-bottle is hunted up. it is a much more sensible plan to have a case or closet. provided with a lock and key. set apart for all such articles. The necessity for toothache drops. by the way, can be done away with by having a reputable dentist look at ones teetliwcliildreirs and grown people‘s—every few months. He can find cavities long before they get to the aching stage. and a dol- lar's worth of filling then, saves five dollars’ worth. perhaps the But if there are toothache drops in the house. have a place to keep them in. and see to it that they are there. alone with some absorbent cotton. If the bits of. fine. old linen are rolled up and’ put in the iiiedicine chest as tlieyi come to hand. it will save inanyl a precious minute some day when they are needed. and that at once. There should be sonie lint kept on hand. and a bottle of linseed oil and liine-water in equal parts. The oil inust be boiight: the water can be made by putting a piece of unslacked lime the size of a very large walnut into a coin- mon—si7.ed wine-bottle of cold water. Shake the bottle a few times. let the contents settle and pour off the water. which is then ready for use. It cannot be made too strong. as the water will take up but a certain quantity of the lime. In cases of burns. wet a soft cloth in the mixture of liiiiewater and linseed oil which is sold un- der the name of carron-oil and lay over the burn. Put a dry cloth or flannel over this. and se- cure it with a smooth light band- age. Keep the burned surface froin exposure to the air—»this is the important treatment. Wet the inner cloth. as directed. from time to time; when the inilain— mation subsides (that is. "when the fire is out.") and that depends upon the extent of the burn. ap- ply a simple ointment. One of the best is made from common whiting. such as tins are cleaned witn. mixed with common lard that is free from salt. This can- not be kept for any great length of time. but the ingredients should be kept at hand. If, through bad management. there is no limewater and linseed oil on hand when wanted, make a dress- ing of a pint of hot water and milk—one—half pint of each—and a small teaspoonful of bicarbon- ate of soda—common baking soda] Do not put pastes of flour. soda. and so on, on a burn; they cake and are very harsh and irri- tating. Slight ‘cuts often bleed pro- fusely, and no one should be frightened out of her wits at the sight of face, hands and frock covered with blood.

It is in- human. to say the least. to be ignorant of the proper methods of caring for the bruises. cuts and burns so common to children, and which. if not dangerous. are often very painful. The best known remedies are extremely simple. as lias been suggested. but they are as unavailing as if written only in an unknown tongue. unless they are learned. and the various healing agents are ready w ieii needed.

It is now the seasoii of the year when stock of all kinds is most liable to disease. and in my experience upon the tarni and as a veterinary surgeon. there is no one thing so much n(—-1-(l1;-d. and so universally lacking. as :1 suit- able place to care for sick ani- mals. I have been called to treat ani- mals sut't'eriug from various dis- eases. and found them lying in fence corners. 1niry' barnyards. and cold. damp basements. where there was no ventilation at all. or where damp, chilly winds blew upon them, increasing their suf- ferings; in fact they are usually surrounded by the very condi- tions that are most liable to pro- duce the disease, and I am sorry to say it is not often a suitable place for the suffering animals can be found. There is an idea abroad that medicines cure dis- ease. but it is an error. It is true that We give medicines. but only to aid and assist nature to overcome the disease; and to do this in half the cases met with, I would rather have adry. roomy. warm and well veutilated box stall, with good food and water, than all the medicines one could carry.

The same system of literary work and social culture cannot be successfully used in all Granges. any more than fixed rules on domestic economy are applicable to every home. The wife and mother in the home studies the wants of her family, estimates the possibilities of her income, counsels with her hus- band and does the best her cir- cumstances will allow for the welfare of her household.

It is a bright. beautiful day in spring. The flowers. the grass. and all nature are again spring- ing into activity. seeming to say: “Rejoice and be glad. for spring has come.“ It is a day to make each one harbor good thoughts and bright anticipations of the good things they can do and enjoy this coin- ing sumtner. and I. sitting in my schoolroom after the day's work is done. am wondering if I can not encourage sotne one to do better: to meet the responsibili- .’ies—of life with a firmer deter- mination to do right than ever before. In all my school life I have found the great lesson to be learned is the importance of "little things." The little trials and pleasures of the children. though so trifling to us. are all- important to them. Childhood is so short. and oh! so soon the real cares and res- ponsibilities will open before them. that we should study to make their childhood and school days as pleasant as possible. Little questions.little trials: little sympathy, little advice and little help when in a little trouble will . dispel the dark clouds and turn all to brightest sunshine. Yes. dear sisters. I know it seems hard sometimes. when we are so worried and we had much ratherthey would "run away and play” and "not bother “ but had you thot that the little tendrils. clinging around the parent vine are beingloosened bysuch unkin(l- ness. that soon the children will learn that mother has no time to . talk with them. Oh. it’ we could all realize in its fullest sense the iniportance of "little things!“ Tired mothers and worn teacliers. do you imagine out the benefit is all to the little ones'.’} Oh no. will it not teach us a needed lesson of patience. of self denial and thoughtfulness‘.‘ How much better we feel at the close of at trying day to be able to say. "I have done the best I could. and I can commence another day with a clear conscience. For, though our trials are many, they will seem nothing if we. at the close of life. can have the best assurance that goodness can give ethat the world has grown better because I have lived.

One of the easiest things in the world to do is to find fault. and in no place are there so many opportunities for indulging in this kind of work as in the home. There are so many little things occurring among its inmates where there is a family of any size. such as the tnisplacing of a garment. leaving a door ajar. uttering a thoughtless word—in fact. a great many trivial things that to people inclined to find t fault will give plenty of cause. It is a disagreeable thing to ifind fault—anyway. to tnost peo ple: yet there are some who seem to like to do it. simply for the fsake of finding fault. These peo- 5ple do not mean to be chronic lfault finders. and it never oc- ‘curs to them that they are. They gwould 11ot for the world be l thought disagreeable. and b1.1t for this one trait would be generally very pleasant companions. They do not acquire this habit at once: any of their friends will tell you that there was a time when they were not so: but they began by noticing every little failing. or supposed failing among their ac- quaintances. and the habit grew with them until it appeared as a part of their nature ‘to notice and condemn every little fault. sup- posed or real. They are far from being perfect themselves: in truth. they think so much about others‘ imperfections that they have very little time to attend to their own. They would be grieved and hurt should their friends retaliate by noticing every little eccentricity of theirs: and. perhaps. had their friends the courage to do so it would open their eyes to the unpleasantness of fault finding. It certainly would be a disagreeable duty. if duty it might be called. and few people would care to try it. un- less of the same stamp as the fault finders. in which case it ‘would do very little good ~12)- I.‘/Iu)/gr. . :,-,__,._ Worth Remembering.

Last spring I decided to bring a part of the woods to my back door. The little boys harnessed up old Kate to the mud boat. put on a large box and away we went. We had previously filled up the corner somewhat with stones and rubbish that we found in the yard. and several loads of chip dirt frotn the wood-pile. so as to make as few trips to the woods as possible. We brought three loads of the rich. black. woods‘ loam. I had a large quantity of stones which had formed a rock- ery in another part of the garden. They were very choice. having been brought some distance from a noted petrifying spring. They are composed of layers of wood. bark and moss. turned to stone by lying in the water from the spring. Some of them have the imprints of forest leaves and ferns imbedded in them. I piled up these stones to form a rockery and mimic grotto. placing the best ones on the out- side (as we all do with every- thing). filling in the chinks with ferns and wild plants that grow best in the shade. taking up a large quantity of soil with the roots. VVe planted squirrel corn. adder tongue and livewort. Everything from the woods. ex- cept a few slips of joint plant. which will grow anywhere. We found a few gnarled branches covered with moss that we used with good effect; also some par- tridge berry vines. which grew finely, and looked lovely after a time.

You sometimes see a woman whose old age is as exquisite as was the perfect bloom of her youth. She seems condensed sweetness and grace. You won- der how this has come about; you wonder how it is her life has been along and happy one. Here are sotne of the reasons: She knew how to forget disa- greeable things. She understood the art of en- joyment. She kept her nerves well in hand. and inflicted them on no one. She believed in the goodness of her own daughters and that of her neighbors. She cultivated a good dispo- sition. She mastered the art of saying pleasant words. She did not expect too much frotn her friends. She made whatever work came to her congenial. She retained her illusions. and did not believe that all the world was wicked and unkind. She relieved the miserable. and sympathized with the sorrowful. She retained an even disposi- tion and made the best of every- thing. She did whatever came to her cheerfully and well. She never forgot that kind words and a smile cost nothing but are priceless treasures to the discouraged. She did unto others as she would be done by, and now that old age has come to her andthere is a halo of white hair about her head, she is loved and considered. This is the secret of a long life and a happy one.—Lmlic.s-‘ Home JOZ()')Z(([.

The faithful doing of one's dttty is always commendable. and the marks of toil are no disgrace. but there is no virtue in the abusing of the hands that per- form the labor. and for ones own comfort due care should be taken to keep them from becoming callous and rottgli.—(;'ood llm/sw- /t'w'p/')I_I/. ._4-,_.,_ What VVomen Like in Men. Women. I think. like manly‘ not lady-like men. They like honesty of purpose and consideration. They like men who believe in women. They like their opinions to be thought of some value. They like a man who can be strong as a lion when trouble comes. and yet. if one is tired and nervous. can button up a shoe and do it with an amount of consideration that is a- mental and physical bracer—up. They like a man who can take hold of the baby. convince it of his power and get it to sleep after they have been worrying with it. and walking with it. un- til their eyes are tired and they feel as if they had no brains. I They like a Inan who is inter- ested in their new dresses, who can give an opinion on the fit. and who is properly indignant at any article written against women. . They like a man who knows their innocent weaknesses and caters to them: who will bring home a box of candy. the last new magazine. or the latest puzzle sold on the street. that will do more than its duty in en- tertaining everybody the whole evening. They like a man who is the master of the situationwthat is. who has brain enough to help a woman to decide what is the best thing to do under the circum- stances, and who has wit enough to realize. when one of the fairer sex is slightly stubborn. that persuasion. is more powerful than all the arguments in the world. They like a man who likes them-who doesn‘t scorn their opinions. who believes in their good taste. who has confidence i11 their truth. and who. best of all. knows that the love prom- ised. is given him. That's the sort of a man a- woman likes. and her every sigh of satisfaction. as his virtues are mentioned. is a little prayer that says: "God bless lii111."—I.mli«-s‘ llumc Jru/rim/.

The trick of always seeing the bright side. or. if the matter has no bright side, of polishing up the dark one, is avery im- portant faculty; one of the things no woman should be without.

A neighbor told him that the mice would eat his clover all up. and said: “Just you wait: I will show you how to grow clover.“ The neighbor left liis statiding. The reported result was that the properly-i;nowed field is all right. and the other eaten so by mice that it will have to be plowed up. When I came home I walked all round my clover field. but failed to find one mouse. or a Sign that one had been there. I stepped over into the pasture where there were bunches of standing grass and could start up :1 mouse anywhere. or in the standing grass in the fence corners. But in my field. although there was at good deal of stiitf mowed off. it was done at a time when it shrank up and worked down to the siirf-(ice of the soil. so that there was little chance for :1 mouse to hide.

The body of the book, from A to Z, is a cheap reprint, page for page, of the edition of 1847, which wasin its day a valuable book, but in the pro- grass of language for over PORTY YEARS, has been completely su rseded. It is now reproduce , broken 9, errors and all, by photo-lithogra b rocess isprinted on cheap paper an ally bound. A brief comparison, pap‘: by page, between the reprint and the test and enlarged edition, will show the great superiority of the latter. These reprints are us out of data as a last car's almanac. No bon- orablo dealer allow the buyer of such to suppose that he is getting the Webster which to-day is accepted as the Standard and THE s'l',—-every copy of which hours our imprint as given below. I8‘ If persons who have been induced to purchase the “ Ancient Edition" by any misrepresentations will advise us of the facts, we will undortako to see that the senor is punished as he deserves.
