SNAKES AS LIFE DESTROYERS.
The loss of life iu India due to the
ravages of venomous snakes is almost
incredible. Yet the disease which is
as wily and deadly as the deadliest
India reptile, is winding its coil around.
thousands of people while the victims
are uneonsoions of its presence. It
hes long been a hobby with incompet-
ent physicians to assns that consump-
tion is incurable after the formation of
tubercles has begun ; and in every case
they fail to effect a cure—of course
tubercles had Levin to form and they
were incurable. The res n•ds of medical
science disprove any snob theory. Ou
the coutrayy, in oases of lung disease
which had been cured and the patients
Iived fotry and fifty years in robust
health,post•mortemexaminations show-
ed large cicatrices (scars) wheat the
tuberolea had been formed and remov-
ed. The tuberoles are removed by ab-
sorption into the blood. An efficient
atteruative, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi-
ca; Discovery, must be used to cleanse
the blood of the seorfulons impurities.
For tubecular cousumption is only a
form of scrofulous disease. -Golden
Aledical Discovery is a sovereign rein-•

skin disease's.
HOW THE FOOIJER WAS FOOL-
ED.
One party in the West end did not
make much of fooling his wife. 'When
he went home late, waiting until after
twelve o'clock so as to play the jnlce,he
rang the dour belt,antl answered 'April
fool,' when she appeat'ed at the door.
Ills wife laughed over the joke, and it
was soon forgotteu. About two o'clock
in the morning our friend was awaken
ed by his wife, who informed him that
there was something wrong with the
horse at the barn. She held the lamp
while he want out to see. As Hoon as
lie had gone a sltest distance, he'smel-
led a niece,' and returned to find the'
door locked. He knocked, potindedl,
kicked, but it did no good. He went

A SERMON.
A Northumberland miner, when
preaching to his fellow pitmen.. once
delivered the following with all the na-
tive idiosyncrasies and gutteral of that
dialect ---'Dia freel.3ds awe ganneen to
preach tu yu aboot Deavid and his pas
sel tree ; he grode that tree hissel and
nobody was letten tu hinglbis harp on't

EVADING A PARE.
The stealing of a pin is apparently a
Flight offense. Yet it may reveal char-
acter as clearly as the theft of $100.
Some years ago their lived ha New
York a shrewd old merohant named
Aymar. He Used to receive cargoes of
mahogany and logwood, which were
sold at auction.
Ou one occasion a cargo was to be
sold at Jersey City, and all hands
started from the auctioneer's store to
eross the ferry. When they were going
through the gate, 1Ir. Aytner, noticed
one of the largest buyers slip through
the gate without paying the 5 cents
fare. lie told the auotioueer not to
take a bid, from that man. •
"Why," said the auctioneer, with
an expression of surprise, '1 thought
he was good."
"So did I," answered Mr. Ayular :
"but 1 have ehanged my mind, and I
will not trust him ,$1."
A few mouths proved the accuracy of
the judgement of 1llr. Aymar, for the
slippery merchant failed,. and did not
pay 5 outs on the dollar. It does not
by any means follow that business dis-
aster will come as a retribution to a
dishonest trader ; but that is certain,
that a man who will steal even so tri•
!ling a Hum as would pay his fareen the
horse -car or the ferry boat will cheat
you ouiof alar;er awn if he fiuds a safe
opportunity.
USELESS WOVEN.
Thousands of useless women cumber
the earth to day because they were
reared upon a bad plan. The little
girl Domes into the world and, unless
she is peenliarly fortunate in being the
child of wise and good parents, is
taught to value physical beauty far
above the better qualities of mind and
heart. its years go by all her ener-
gies ere devoted to enhtuein:g her phy-
sieal charms ; all that money and ar-
tietic clothes can Ito are made to- fur-
ther the one interest of her life. She
may have gone to school where• her
ambition was spurred up in keeping
pace with her elo-asamates; the may have
shown that she possessed a brilliant
mind and even o.ut•stripped her fellow
pupils. Rut having never cultivated a
taste of general literature and lacking
the incentive "ahe had in school" her
study ceases with her last term, and
,education is finished when she makes
her bow ou . oommenoemeit day.
I3ieneeiortti she gives her whole mind

She is trained to regard matrimony as

CURAGE IN DISEASE.

How many a victim of incurable
eases has lived on through years of
suffering, patiently and resolutely hop-
ing against hope, or, what is better,
living down despair, until the viroul-
ence of a threatening malsdy has died
out, and it has ceased to be destruc-
tive, although its physical Jharaoterls•
tics remained. This power of 'good
spirits' is a matter of high unemout to
tale sick and weakly. To the former
it tnay mean the ability to survive, to
the latter tha possibility of out living,
or living in spite of disease. It is,
therefore, of the greatest importance
to cultivate the highest and must buoy-
ant frame of mind which the conditions
will admit. The Fame energy which
takes the form of meutul activity is
vital to the work of the organism.

disease tin not commonly sufficiently
appreciate the value and use of 'gond
spirits.' They ton often settle down in
despair when a professional judgement
determines the exidterce of some latent
or chronic malady. The fact that ib is

the policy in which they indulge is ex
ceedingly short-sighted. Most of the
sorrowful and worried cripples wl,o
drag nut miserable lives in this; was
would be less wretched and live lo ger
if they were tuore hopeful. It is use•
less to exreot that any one can be reit
