OCCUPATION AND CLIMATE DMVK US ON.
The character of our occupations add to j
tne prcitb.'ilty Tbose who are in tho pro
fessions arc undergoing n napping of the
bruin and nerve foundation. Literary
men la thl country are driven with whin
aad spur to their topmost speed. Not one
brain worker out of a hundred olmurve

stimulating in our climate that If John '
Brown, the ewtayUt of Kdlnhurgh, hod

thirty-five limtead of llftylho. and Charles
Dickens would have droppcil at forty.
There Is something In all our occupations
which pmlixiMvscs to disease. If we Ih

In view of this, I advise that you have

In view of the probabilities mentioned, 1

A maniac was found pacing along the
road with it torch In one hand and a pail of

him what he meant to do with them. He

to put out the fire of hell." He was a

I wish you might know what n Job Jesus

A great plague came In Marseilles. Tho

This great salvation of the Gospel I now

pi ii vails with some peopl-), but it is 11
iiuisl uneconomical method. Tho leu
should be cut iuto regular cakes of a
size coilveuient to handle and then care
fully placed into tho house, layer on
layer, just us a brick wall is built, atten
tion being given to breaking joints, us iu
any kind of mason work. Where tho
cakes join one another, sawdust should
bo placed. This serves to stop up air
holes, and it also makes it easy to take
out the ice iu tho original cakes instead
of having to bring nn ax into requisition
and hack the ice all up, thus causing
much waste. A person who luts been in
the habit of putting in icoin tho careless,
old fashioned way will find that by
adopting this method he can save- at
least fiO jwr cent, iu material, besides
making it much less difTJcult to get ice
when it is required.
How tu OUgtiUa ttut Titste of Medicine.
Have a tumbler of water handy. Take
the medicine and rotain it in the mouth,
which should be kept closed. Then drink
tho water rapidly and tho tnsto of tho
medicitio is washed away. Even tho bit
terness of quinine- and aloes may bo pre
vented in this way. If tho nostrils aro
firmly compressed by tho thumb and fore
finger of tho left hand while taking a nau
seous draft and so retained till the mouth
has been washed out with water, thodioa
grccablo tasto of the luediciuo will bo
quite unpereeived.

No one could ask for a richer store than theso works of Thackeray, from which to
draw for literary recreation during tho evenings of tho winter or tho days of the summer
outing.
Thackeray was the king of satirists. Ills brilliant wit scintillates Ilka tho gleams of
light from tho facets of the diamond. Ills shafts pierce like tho point of a rapier.
Tho foibles and fashions, tho fads and follies of tho upper crust are held up to
scathing ridicule, while the habits and habitations of the masses are laid bare for Instruc
tion, amusements and general edification. No man or woman should be without
Thackeray's Works.
No household has the right to withhold Thackeay from its youths and maidens.
Everyone should avail themselves of the following
