T)1az's f4Bybury to Beacon Street" is full of sound counsel to the young people of the day, and ie worthy of wide distribution. The tnother of a fami- ly, after a hard forenoon's work, had given and ho had gone upo tears for her girl r n t Y aay leaving their nails undone, and the burden of the day seemed to be growing greater than she oouid bear. Her husband, finding her thus disoourag• ad, inquired into the matter, and came to the conclusion that their children should be made to realize that a part of the house- hold work belonged to them, and not that they were generously "helping mother" when they gave any assistance, So one evening, afterLaura had finiehed her examples, her father asked her to write down all the different thine I had to do in the dif- ferent days of the week. She began to write, her father and Fred prompting when her memory failed, 'The list covered both sides of the elate. :Husband wrote at the beginning, for a title, 'Mother's Work,' and then remarked that it was a good deal of work for one person. "'I help her some,' said Laura. " Yes,' said he, 'T suppose you call what you do helping her, and that Fred calls what he does helping her, bub after all, you are only helping yourself. Mother eats a small part 6f the food she cooks, and weare a email part of the clothes she makes, and washes, and irons, and mends, So all thio work ie not really hers, to do.' "Then he rubbed out the title, and wrote in its place, ' The Family Work which is called Mother's Work.' "' Now, 1 should like to know,' said he, ' why members of the fancily consider it a fa- vor to mother when they do parte of their own work 2' "'For instance, I have noticed that, to get a meal and clear it away, there mast be wood and water brought, vegetables got, cleaned, and cooked, other things cooked, the table set, dishes washed knives scoured and some tidying of the room afterwards. Now it doesn't seem right for ono person to do all this labor and for other persons to feel that their part is only the eating part. That isn't fair play. " Having thus oonvinoed the children that it was nob, indeed, fair play, the father proceeded to allow them a certain portion of the family work for their own doing. Rea- der—big boy or little girl—profit by the hint, no longer pluming yourself on " helping mother,' but honestly aoouming the labor which belongs to you, Don't Talk About Your Troubles. Sitting by my window the other day, I saw a little fellow, who was running on the sidewalk, stub his toe and fall with a great thump. It must have hurt him severely, and I expected to hear a tremendous out- cry. Instead of that, he got upon his feet as soon ae•poosible, rubbed his head, looked around to see if there was anybody to pity him, and not discovering any one he trotted on without a whimper. " There," said 1 to myself, " that is about the way we grown folks aot. Oar troubles are never half so serious when there is no one to whom we can explain how dreadfully we are hurt," Whereupon I fell into a brown study upon the folly of giving voice to every little die - comfort. The habit certainly develops our selfishness, The common human mfirmity.ie for each to make himself the center of the universe, and to look upon every event as of more or leas consequence in exact proportion ao it offeote his interests. He glances over the newspaper account of the flood that swepta village away, and drowned twenty five people, giving it scarcely a thought ; but he speaks again and again of the :freshet that carried off a rod or so of hie fence and did sundry other small damage. He talks it over on every occasion with all its tiresome details, because, forsooth, Mouthed hiseaered poseeosione. He oan dispose of the:calumny under which another may be writhing, with some old threadbare proverb ; and he fanoiee that he has settled the matter handsomely, but let some disagreeable thing be said of him and you'll not hear the last of it for ono while 1 .and the worst of it is, like the story of the three black crows, the grievance growe with every repetition, till, if you take him literally, you are obliged to regard' him as the moat cruelly injured individual upon the planet. Since this is an infirmity of the race to which we belong, it is only common pru- dence for us to guard against it, 1f ib makes us selfish to demand sympathy in every little trouble, let us see to it that we avoid speaking of our trials. By talking about discomforts we give them proportionately more attention, and by so much we increase their power to annoy us. If we have something to take our thought, a hot, dusty day on a railway train will pass by without seriously incom- moding ns ; but let us give our time to fan- ning and fretting, constantly commenting upon the heat and duet and the frequency of the stops, and we get all the discomfort possible out of the trip. If ono gets up in the morning with a pain in bio head, and begins at once to toll every- body who aeke after his health how much he is afraid that he isobo about t to have one of his dreadful nervous headaches, and what untold agonies he suffers with then and how he has worn out this and that remedy, one., if it is at all poseible leo will probably bring about the result he fears, Nob infrequently a little bright, thankful talk, casting the care most fully upon God, and getting an added touch of faith, and a shining in the joy of the Lord, will help one glide over the hard places so easily that his morning headatho will be forgotten long before night.

The pain from a felon oan be at once re- lieved by smoke from woolen rage. Place the raga under an inverted flower pot and put coals upon them, or set on fire some other way, then hold the felon over the smoke and it will extract all the pain. GROWTH Ob HAIR,—The hairs are said to grow more rapidly in the daytime than at night and in warm than in old seasons of the year, Each hair grows from a bulb contained in a follicle or sac in the akin. If not injured, the limit of growth is reached at a pertain time ; it then loses its vitality and drops out. This period of lite in robust persona is estimated by some to be from two to four years. While the follicle romaine healthy it furnishes the hair bulb with material necessary to its growth, and new hairs continue to replace the old, The hair ie simply a plant with a bulbous root placed in a soil favorable to its growth. At certain intervals the stalk ceases growing, withers ani is broken off, From the same follicle another shoot is sent forth to grow, mature, and, in tarn, wither and disappear. Slave Catching in Africa, The anxiety Fait in Europe and America concerning Henry M. Stanley, has led to a further interest in the condition of that part of Africa which he set out to penetrate. Undoubtedly hie expedition awakened the hostility of the slave -catchers and slave - traders. The worst of these are Arabs. They make a business of it. One principal purpose of Gen. Gordon in taking up his abode in Central Africa, was to break up thfe nefarious trade. Emin Bey has remained there, when he might easily have eeoaped, with the same high and humane purpose. Recently news oomee from France that Cardinal Lavigerie, Archbishop of Carthage and Algiers, is preaching a crusade in Paris and other places, against this relic of bar. barism. It ie said that hie olcquence is creating great excitement. He shows that 100,000 slaves are annually Bold for trans• portation on the east coast of Africa, and that every one represents ten persons who were killed during their capture and jour- ney to the coast, These man -hunters sur- round towns, set fire to the buildings, and kill every man, woman, and child they eon - not capture. They only want the young and middle-aged. If they can obtain thee°, they will leave the infants and the old to suffer. Only the vigorous are able to stand the long march from the interior of the country to the coast, Elephant hunting as now practiced, tends to keep up the slave trade. The slaves are trained to the business, and their value is thus enhanced when they are taken to the coast, Cardinal Lavigerie is doing a good work in awakening the attention of Europe and the civilized world, to the horrors of this business. The Great Powers of Christen• dom should unite in practical steps not only to send relief to Emin Bey, and rescue Stanley, but also, to quote from Living- stone—"to heal this open sore of the world."

Doing the Wrong Thing. Wesley, my colored man of all work, pas- sesees in a wonderful degree the ability to understand just what you don't say. One day I called him to the garden gate, and, pointing down a walk on either aide of which grew some shrubbery, said : " Wesley, 1; want you to trim t'he shrub. bery on the left-hand side of this walk." Yoe, 'um." Aware of his aptitude for misunderetand- ing I repeated : "Remember now, Wesley, the left-hand side," "Yes, 'um." A few hours later he came to say the work was done. I went to the gate and found the shrubbery on the righthand oloso- ly out, while the loftremaineuntouched, " Wesley," I said angrily, " didn't I tell you to trim the left-hand side and nob the right 7" "Yee, 'um, but I begun at de sen' ub de walk." lloboon—Dutnpoey, what in the world do you euppooe makes my boy so stupid ? :Dutnpooy—I dunno.

FUNNY ALL ROUND, I talked to her of the humming bees, And how they made their honey In the summer time on the flowery leas, And she anewered, " Ain't it funny ?"

Dogs and the Hohenzollerns, It was o ourioue idea of the late Emperor Frederick to bequeath two favourite King Charlene to the Comtesse Munster "in the hope of; enabling her to; overcome her an- tipathy to the canine race." The doge are descended from the pets of Frederick the Great, whose taste for lapdogs was imitated by the members of his house in his reign, and has since become a characteristic of the Rohencollerns. The late Duchess of York lived in a perfect lapdog kennel at Oaklands, and turned her park there into a canine lecropolie, Rationalism aocepts truth for its author ity, and asks no authority for truth.

When the rabbit le so young that the pelt ie worthless, the hooter receives the same pay, but is obliged to produoo the oars as evidence ot his work. When he rabbits on a salary, ho gets from six dollars to fifteen dollars a week, Tho work ie of the moat arduous kind. The places, particularly in New Zealand, where the rabbits most abound, are hilly in the extreme, and they scarcely deign to speak of anything as hilly that would not be called preoipitious anywhere olee. The animals on be hunted with success only at the earliest dawn, and in the twi- light. Going over thoee hills at breakneck speed in the attempt to save half -a -dozen rabits' ekins from being mangled by as many different dogs in not romantic, and hours of it give the meet enthusiastic his fill, Each rabbit is skinned as soon as taken, almost by a turn of the wrist, and the pelt distended inside out by the insertion of an elastin twig bent double. These skins are then all taken to the whore, and hung around on the bushes to dry. While drying in the hot sun they fill the whole neighbor- hood with a terrific, stench, and any one coming on to a rabbiter's cam from the fact a leeward is aware of thehalf a mile off. . When thoroughly dried, the pelta are packed in bundles containing twenty-five each, and carried to the station, 'where the rabbiter receives hie pay. Tho skins are manufaotured into various ertiolea of wear- ing apparel, notably hats, and not infre- quently are dyed to imitate the more expen- sive furs, when they bring a very Lair price. The meat, although not badly flavored, ie seldom eaten, at least in the neighborhoods where they abound, though the earoaseeo bring twenty-five cents apiece in the larger cities. On a desirable station, rabbiting is not an unprofitable job. One man made one thou- sand five hundred dollars a y ear at it, for three successive years on a New Zealand run. Weighing One's Thoughts. Starting with the idea that the hand varies sensibly in size with the amount of blood in at any moment, Prof. Mosso, an Italian physiologist, has made some most interesting investigations, nye the Analyst. "In his first experiments the hand was plao- ed fn a closed veesel of water, when the change in the circulation produced by the slightest action of the body or brain, the slightest thought or movements, was shown by the rise or fall of the liquile in the oar. row neck of the vessel. With a large bal- ance on which the human body may be pois- ed, he has found that one's thoughts may be literally weighed, and that even dreams, or the effects of a alight sound during slum- ber, turn the blood to the brain sufficiently to sink the balance of the head. The chang- ing pulse even told him when a professional friend was reading Italian and when Greek, the greater effort for the latter duly affect- ing the blood flow. " In a Woman's Hand -Bag.
