Brown to love the carp. He fed It from
Ids own hnnd , nnd now that It was liv
ing In the same element with himself
bo took It from the tnnk nnd left It na
free to follow Its own dcvlcca as wna
the family cat. The llttlo nab nUo
loved ltd mnnter. It followed htm about
from place to place , flopping along aft

leap for n pnsulng fly. Ono day the
dentist was crossing A bridge. Tbo

Sag the pleasant nlr of the countryside

Nerve specialists say that n great
many suicides are the direct results of
exhausted brain colls. When you find
yourself becoming morose- and despond
ent , when you arc conscious that the
Ecst of life Is evaporating , that you are
losing the edge of your former keen In
terest In things generally and that
your life Is becoming n bore , you may
be pretty sure that you need moro
elcop ; that you need country or out
door exercise. If you got these , you
Trill find that all tbo old enthusiasm
will return. A few dnys of exercise In
the country rambling over the bills and
meadows will erase the dark pictures
twhlcb haunt you and will restore buoy
ancy to your animal spirits. Success.

The average porsob In danger of
drowning usually attempts to lift a llfo
buoy over bis bead , with the result
that lie Is Immediately plunged deeper
Into the water. A good swimmer can
do this with a sudden upward Jerk , but
with the nonswlmmer It Is almost an
impossible feat.
What ho should do when ho has
aclzcd tbo buoy is to place both bands ,
palms downward , on tbo buoy on the
-part nearest tbo body , pressing It
.downward nnd slightly away , when the
farther part of tbo buoy will rise out of
the water and actually fall over the
bead. Tbo arms can then bo put

The II ml Mennnre of Time ,
It was the moon and not the enn
which first nuggoBted to mankind the
circle of the year as a measure of
tlmo. The pun exhibits no changes of
appearance , and his light obliterates
all the landmarks of the oky. A lu
minary which IB the same yesterday ,
today and tomorrow might glvo rlso to
conceptions of perfection nnd eternity ,
but beyond the alteration * ) of day and
night It could suggest to men's minds
no abstract measure of tlmo. But with
our humble satellite It IH far otherwise.
The regularly recurring phenomena of
new moon and full moon are too
marked to cacapo the attention of the
moat obtuse and unreflecting of BUV-
agca.
The motion of tike sun may bo coin-
pared to that of the mtnuto liand of a
clock , sweeping on hour after hour with
out leaving much record of Ita compar
atively vast Journey. The progress of
the moon , on the contrary , may bo Ilk-
ciuvl to thut of tiic hour hand , which
rcgi"ton the movements of Its com
panion and resolves them Into twelve
Well defined periods.
Two Vletva of the Same Question.
A i.otal bishop In or cr to point a
Icssoa In humility sometimes tells n
etory o ? a young clergyman whoso first
appointment wns to bo an out of tbo
Way nnd poor parish ,
On hia first Sunday In tills now sta
tion the young man as ho looked over
his wretchedly clad and Ignorant con
gregation could not help saying to himself -
self , with a groan :
"Dear me , what n dreadful thing It
would bo If I should Imvo to stay hero
any great length of tlmel"
At the end of tlio sermon n deacon
niiulo a prayer. To the young man's
horror one part of the prayer was n
benevolent hope that "this ignorant , In
experienced , barren pastor Unit had
lately como to the parish might 1m-
provo and grow learned and fruitful In
good workH , KO that ho would como to
merit being kept on there for awhile. "
The IMIlow of the Italian I'cnimiit.
The Italian peasant girl na BOOH aa
Bho has learned to spin and sew begins
to make her wedding trousseau. Thcuco
pleco by piece it grows , and she has
put Into It all her finest stltchery and
Bweutcfit thoughts. As soon as she is a
brldo she makes a bag of line muslin.
Tills she begins to fill with rose leaves.
Each year adds Its share. When she
dies , perhaps an old woman full of
years , It is tills rose pillow that her
head rests on. In this calm acceptance
of nnd preparation for the great events
of life , such as marrlago and death ,
there nro tlmo and soil for the blos
soming of fancy which we , stumbling ,
hit and miss , through life , do not fur
nish.

Sir Richard Wallace ouco heard the

acters , at whoso sallies ho was simply
roaring. " But this was years ago , when
Imagination went baud In hand with

Snlllclont Qtmiititlo * .
A physician has called attention to
tbo use of water not only OB a remedial
and therapeutic agent , but also as n
mechanical agent , in the treatment of
certain forms of dyspepsia , especially
these forms characterized by a fullness
In the left epigastric region , with fre
quent eructations of sour or acrid mat
ter , accompanied by loss of appetite ,
Insomnia and a mental condition close
ly allied to melancholia.
Let the patient drink from one to
three pints of water one hour before
each meal and then comfortably scat
himself In an cany rocking chair and
rock backward and forward for half
an hour. The rocking will agitate the
water In the stomach , wash the walls
completely , detaching any mucus that
mny bo adhering and dilute and mix
the contents thoroughly. By this means
.absorption will bo moro rapid , and ns
a consequence the skin , kidneys nnd
bowels will act moro freely , eliminat
ing from the blood uric acid and all
efTeto and deleterious matter , while the
stimulus of the wato.r will cause the
stomach to contract and gastric julco
to bo secreted In such quantity ns to
cause digestion to go on uninterrupted
ly and painlessly. Farm and Fireside.
