The Huron Expositor, 1886-07-16, Page 6THE HURON EXPOSITOR Petah and POwer. "The other day," said. a lady, not tong ago, "a soft satin ribbon blew a ainst my faee when I raised a window. You will scarcely believe me, but the force of the wind that suddenly came in wu such that that smooth, innocent little ribbon fairly scratched my face. I had always known that momentum was made up of weight multiflied by power, bat I had never encountered a case in which so little weight produced so tremendous a product." The lady had not applied this fact, blit an analogy may well be drawn from it. • Do we not constantly see men of fine mind, exceptional education, add high purpose who count for almost noth- ing m the community in which- they live ? The finest personal gifts are ren- dered valueless, so far as society at large is concerned, by a. lack of energy in the one tieho possesses thern. And may not a mother take heart if a child who has. been pronounced a dunce by short-sight- ed teachers, shows the qualities of con- centration and perseverance? Several ladies who were visiting a school together, were called upon to ex- press an opinion regarding the inclividus al promise indicated by the appearance of the children before them. Two or three pointed oat a boy with a:fine head and calm and thoughtful face, who sat in a back seat, and studied quietly through all the exercise. Others thought that a girl who exhibited similar qual- ities, was rather the flower of the school. "You have chosen well," said the teacher,in a triumphant whisper. "Those two are my best scholars. They have beautiful minds, and are really wonder- ful." " But," said another of the visitors, who had not yet pronounced her opinion, but who had been closely observing the busy Iittle throng before them, "no one of you has selected the child who seems to me to give promise of the greatest usefulness in the world. His head may not be of so classic a shape as those of the children you have mentioned, but I have been watching his indefatigable in- dustry with his slate, and I tell you that such energy as his is worth more to the world in the way of progress than all the fine minds we have, without it" There was considerable discussion over this point, but it is not unlikely that the opinion of the last speaker was the right one. She may have been mistaken about the case in point, but, generally speak- ing, it is not .the most finely endowed boy, nor the most thoughtful,- who ac- complishes most in the world, but the boy or girl who is most active,energetic, and fertile in expedients. The reason is plain. The intellect whielt adapts itself readily to the world set for it,and which follows most easily the leading of others, is not necessarily of the original, keen, strong kind. In fact, it is very likely to be exactly the opposite. • Mothers, do not dub the boys dunces who cannot always learn their lessons: and do not think too well of those who stand highest in their classes. Fortunately, in these days the study and investigation of the sciences have come in to make bright men out of many a poor fellow, who would have been called a fool to the end if he had kept to his Greek and Hebrew. If you can once succeed in developing the "push," the perseverance, and the "pluck " cif a, boy, you may trust him safely to take stand in later life along- side, perhaps in advance, of the man whose boyhood looked so promising. And a mother can develop " push " in a boy by urging him to carry out plans that he has made whether for pleasure or profit. When he has devised a scheme that shows forethought and ingenuity, he should be led to carry it out in order that he may acquire confidence in his awn powers ; and confidence when based upon ability, is a most desirable motor. Momentum is made up of weight mul- tiplied by power, and a little weight may be made to produce enormous mo- mentum by the application of the requir- ed power. Bedding. The most healthful bedding is that which combines least weight with greatest warmth, arid permits the air to pass most freely through it. For this - reason comfortables are to be preferred to quilts, and warm wool blankets to either. But biaukets, even under thei depressing 'influence of tariff -legisla- tion," andthe low price of our fine Mer- ino wools on the sheep's back, are worth money. Comfortables are much more universal in use. The venerable relic of past ages, which has been washed and re-covered, and washed and covered again till it is as impervions to air as a sheet of rubber, should be retired on a pension. I cannot think of any good use for it, but do not use it on the bed. It is a false economy, an economy which militates against health., to use anything which confirms the impure air within the bed -clothing. The weight, toe, in proportion to the warmth, is ex cessive, giving one a feeling of being held down, which tires and exhausts. Cotton and print are very cheap: it • is good policy to renew the cornfortables every few years. And I can recommend those made of cheese cloth as being light, cheap and warm, three great requisites. When the covering is soiled, the com- fortable cart be unmade, and the cover washed; if the cotton must be used again it should be throughly aired, but not washed, whieh always makes it heavy and thick. A comfortable should never be renewed in arly other way but by re -Making. A breadth of print like the cover, bolded over and sewed on the upper end of the comfortable, keeps it from, becoming soiled, and can easily be removed, washed and replaced. Comforters of cotton sateen in bright colors are quite popular at the moment; when new, they look like satin, and are Very pretty, and are not very expensive. Some ladies have followed the passing fancy of dressing the beds in colors, bright cover, and lace pillow shams lined with the same tint. Nothing, however, is so dainty as snowy white, with its suggestions of purity and re- pose. Pillow shams have had their day, and are much less used, but ladies who have to use a bedroom for other than its legitimate purpose cling to them, as imparting a " dressed up air" and sav- ing a frequent change of pillow slips. - A pretty counterpane can be made of a heavy material known as bolton sheet- ing, which is two yards wide. Have an outline pattern of flowers or fancy arabesque stamped on it, or if you have skill, draw it with pencil. Outline the pattern in Kensington stitch with heavy etching cotton in a color, and trace a vine or Greek key pattern for a border. Edge with wide coarse lace. The same. reduced in size, is neat and tasteful for the baby's crib. If desirable, shams for the pillows can be etched in the same fashion. A new fashion for making the small comforts which are thrown over the foot of the bed, for use if one is chilly during the night, has a Turkey red centre, a yard and an eighth long, and alxnu 30 inches wide. This is bordered by strips of cretonne, a, white ground with Turkey red flowers, or a red ground with white flowers, as is preferred. Next this is a puff, four inches wide, of the plain red, gathered to an inch wide strip of the red. It is lined with cheese cloth, and tied with tufts, of red worsted. Some use No. 1 ribbon for the purpose an unnecessary expense, however. The comfort is very pretty when finished. I am a relentless foe to patch work quilts. They have no excuse for being, 6nless the machine has done the patch- work and the quilting. Their worth never equals the value of the work put upon them. I always feel like saying Poor woman !" when I _read in print of 3,000 or 4,000 scraps sewed together for a quilt, as if it were a praiseworthy achievement. I regard it rather as an instance of badly misdirected energy. Poor woman! With all this glorious world about us, so much to learn in it and of it, such treasures in nature and in books, and this precious legacy of Time which is slipping past us on noise- less wings so rapidly we scarcely re- alize its flight, and she can find nothing better to do with her heritage than sew scraps of calico together, falsely believ- ing that in spending life's golden mo- ments thus, she is doing best service in her sphere!

COUNCIL MEETING. —A meeting of the municipal council of the township of Hullett was held at Londesboro on the 30th of June, 1886. All the members present. A petition was read from Wm. L. Ouimette and 26 others, pray- ing that the council would place Sarah Grantham, an imbecile girl, in some suitable institution for safe keeping. The clerk was instructed to get the said Sarah Grantham into some suitable institution where she will be properly taken care off at the least possible cost. The Reeve was granted two months' leave of absence. The Reeve and Treasurer were authorized to borrow $1,000 from the Molson Bank in Clin- ton to pay current expenses, and the assessor to be paid $5 for -extra services and J. Brunsdon $60.45 for new scrap- ers, &c. J. Lasham and J. Britton were instructed to have St. John's bridge repaired. Agravel sidewalk was ordered to be made from Londesboro to the rail- way station, under the direction of J. Lasham. Twenty-five cords of gravel are to be put on side road 20 and 21, concession 14, under the direction of J. Lasham and J. Brigham; the treasurer to pay for said work on the orders ol the said councillors. The council then ad- journed to .meet again when called by the Reeve or clerk. • An Officer Who Never Drank. When • General Grant was in com- mand of the army before Vicksburg, a number of officers were gathered at his headquarters. One of them invited the party to join in a social glass; all but one accepted. He asked to be excused, saying that he "never drank." The hour paSsed, and each went his way to his respective command. A fewdays after this the officer who declined to drink received a note from General Grant to report at headquarters. He obeyed the order, and Grant said to him, " Yon are the dicer, I believe, who re- marked the other day that you never drank." The officer modestly answered that he was. "Then," continued the General, "you are the man I have been looking for to take charge of the com- missary department, and I order that you be detailed to that duty." He served all through the war in that re- sponsible department, and afterwards when General Grant became President, the officer who never drank was again in request. The President needing a man on whom he could rely for some im- portant business, gave him the appoint- ment. —Christian Leader. Let Us GO Back. It is'a shame that the nomenclature of civilization should be worse than that of the savages who have preceded us. The Chippewas named more than one of our lovely lakes set in wild scenery, the "Lake of the Spirits," or " Spirit Lake." The devil -worshipping white man gave' the honor to his master, and called each of those liquid jewels, "Devil's Lake." Let us go back to the reverend spirit of the aborigines. Rainy. Many amusing stories are told of the sayings and doings of the astonished backwoodsmen when the first lines of railroad began operations in America. When the first Maine railroad was built the conductor, Mr. Pitman, left Water- ville on the morning train,5 It was rain- ing hard. When he arrived at North Belgrade, a flag station, not seeing any flag, he ran by the station. As the train passed the red flag was hurriedly run out. Mr. Pitman stopped his train, and, backing up to the station, called out to the agent: "Why didn't you put up the flag sooner ? • "Why," was the reply, "be you a goin' to run trains in rainy weather ?" "Of course." "1 didn't reckon so." A Boy of Little Faith. A good story at the expense of "natur- al "bone setters is related by the "Whitehall Review." RI occurred in the North of Scotland, where a certain self-taught practitioner had acquired wealth and local fame. A country lad residing a few miles off had got his leg hurt at one of the local factories, and had been treated for some time by the local medical men without any good re- sult. His mother, who had great faith in the neighboring bone -setter wanted the lad to go to him, which he declined, preferring, as he said, the reg'lar fac- ulty." Eventually, however, his mother's persuasions prevailed, and he agreed to allow himself to be taken to see Daniel R., the bone -setter. A bed for the in- valid was extemporized on a cart, and, accompanied by his anxious mother, he was, after a rather painful journey, ta- ken to the town where the bone -setter resided. The leg was duly examined, and it was found necessary to haul it very severely, in order, as the bone - setter said, "to get the bone in." The lad was liberal with his screams while this was going on, but eventually the bone was got in," and he was told to go home and in a few days he would be all right and fit for kis work. He was lifted up on the cart again, and, with his mother seated beside him, set off for home. " Didn't Danny do the thing well ?" said theijoyous old lady. "Yes, he did, mother," said the lad, "but I was na sic a fool as to gie hini the sair leg !" The " reg'lar faculty" will, we have no ''-doubt, appreciate the story. GRATEFUL—COMFORTING.

For Consumption and all wasting diseases, the use of MORSE'S CARBOLATED NORWEGIAN COD LIVER OIL. For teething infants and nervous troubles, the use of GLYCEROLE OF CELERY COMPOUND (containing no opium.) You probably ask why we recommend these remedies ! It is because we know them to be reliable remedies, endorsed by leading physicians throughont the Dominion, for the cure of specific diseases, and not claiming to cure everything. Also beeausethey have the exact formula printed on eech bottle la.beLthereby enabling the pur- chaser to know just what he is taking. The time is rapidly approaching when intelli- gent people will refuse to take quack cure-alls, the ingredients of which are kept secret, but will insist upoti knowing just what they are taking.
