Savage's Love of Medicine. Mrs. F.

It matters not whether the subject he. well or ill, or vvhvth.-r the ni-'dieine be palatable or nauseous medicine they must have it if it is

to lie obtained.

"The native patients,” writes Mrs Rowling, "are most amusing in the iniTtlicit faith they have in the musao’ tdoctor), as they call Miss Potgrim. the dispenser here. Anything she likes to give them they take, but many of them cannot yet see how a pain in the head can be cured by swallowing a pill, and would much prefer to rub the pill on the place affected. One day we visited a woman with a bad pain in her ear. We gave her two pills to swallow, but Instead of doing so she proceeded to drop them into her ear. Another tried to put her medicine up

her nostrils'.”

When Winding Your Watch. T he old superstitious belief that you will change jout luck if you stop winding your watch at night and wind It in tile morning may have some slight bujiis in fact, according to a jeweler, who says that the morning is the proper time to do the windins. This is not only because the hour of rising is for the average man muon more regular lhaii that lor retiGiig, but even the soberest and most ordnly of men at ® apt to relax and prone to rat elensni-^s at Ijpdtime, when more oi lev., worn hy the wear and tear of the day .In this <op^irton the winding is apt to he done in h jerky, irregular k rt of way, or too far or not far * to G. “Nine people out of ten winu thv.ii- watcues ou going to lied," s.aM the jeweler; “hut if they would do it w hen ib< y -gel up. at. some regular point in the pruev-s ot making tVIr toilet, tney would do it much better. ’ —Philadelphia Rccot J.

Insurance for Pigs. A scheme tor the co-operative iuaurauce of pies lias been started in Wiltshire, the idea being to strengthen by amalgamation the hundred or more pig insurance clubs which already exist in the country, and to form new pig clubs in villages which are the source of some of our best breakfast bacop.

THE PENNY CURATE.

"Many clergy guard against copper in the collection bags, and, of course^ people who can afford silver ought not to give pienaieg only; but here Is nothing to he said again t copper if there is plenty of It. In a certain rartah not long ago the vicas announced that an additional clergyman or second curate was needed. He said the cost of his maintenance was to be provided by a penny fund to which every parishioner was wanted to subscribe. The fund was started and was w> successful that the Income of the new curate was assured thereby. The new assistant Is to this day called “The Penny Curate."

ENGLISH BOYS WANT EASY JOES

Among English boys me long drudgery of learning a trade (even if the opportunity offers, which it seldom does) I? shirked. The easy job of errand boy, shop boy, office boy. messenger boy, or van boy is much preferred. The consequence is that seventy-five boys of every hundred leaving elementary schools enter unskilled oecupa.ions Of lymdon boys 40 per cent become errand, van or boat boys, 14 per cent shop boys, 8 per cent office boy* and Junior clerks. Under 20 per cent go definitely into trades—Westminster Review.
