Kow, beys and men, hear my advice. And don't refuse lo talte it; If you've commenced to use this weed Just sternly now forsake it. Come, epe your mouth and cast it out. And tow you will not chew iL Turn square around, be very firm, I'm sure you'll never rue it. Don't chew, don't smoke, don't use the weed In aaywy whatever. Be firm, be true, and cleanly, too; Cant il away forever. Now, boys and men, I ask again Thai you this weed will banish; And. as I've polten all my piece. I'll make my bow and vanish. The Polar Rare. (SL Nicholas. I Far away to the north of us stretches a land white with enow during most of the year, where bleak winds in unobstructed fury sweep over deserted wastes; where night hangs like a somber cloud for months and months unbroken, and where the crystal mountains called icebergs are born. There is the home of the polar hare. There, where man aimlessly wanders in a vain search for food or ahelter, this dainty creature thrives Strangely enough, however, it sometimes happens triat men are overtaken by starvation in the midst of numbers of polar hares. This is because the little creature has a peculiarity which makes it difficult for the iuexperienced hunter to shoot iL When approached.it seems to bare no fear at all. but sit up, apparently waiting fur the coming hunter. Just, however, as the prob ably hungry man begins to finger the trigger of his gun, and to eat in anticipation the savory ciew, the hare turns about and bounds activeiy away toa safe distance, and, once more rising upon its haunches, sits with a provoking air of seeming unconsciousness until the hunter is again nearly within gun-shot, when it once more jumps away. This must be tantalizing enough to a wellfed sportsman, but how heart-Dressing to the man who knows that not only his own life, hut the lives of his comrades as we:!, depeuds upon the capture of the pretty creature. Notwithstanding, however, the apparent impossibility of approaching near enough to the hare to shoot it, there is in reality a very simple way to accomplish it This plan is practiced by the natives, who no doubt have learned it after many a huugry failure. It consists in walking in a circle around the animal, gradually narrowing the circle until within the proper distance. Simple as this plan is, it is so effective that, with care, the hunter may get within tiity yards of the hare, which seems completely bewildered by Iii- circular course. Perhaps the sad story of the heroic suffering and linal loss of Captain DeLong and his brave comrades might never have had to be, told, had it not been' for their probable ignorance of a matter of no more importance than this of how to shoot a polar bare "When they left their ship, the 'Jeannette." they took with them only rides, thinking, no doubt, that they would fall in with only such large game as bear., reindeers, and wolves. As a matter of fact, such large animals were very scarce, while ptarmigan, a species of groove, were plentiful, and would have supplied food in abundance to the whole brave band had there been shot-guns with -which to shoot them. As it was, the ritieä brought down but a few of the birds, and thus, in the midst of comparitively plenty, the brave fellows starved. The Knlffhthood or Baby Prince. Eliot McCormick, in Harper's Young People. Centuries ago, when countries were at war all the time, and nearly every man was a soldier, the bravest and most distinguished officers we re called knights. These would go into battle, forming the bodyguard of the King, or attended by their followers and servants, while in time of peace they would meet one another in tournaments, or mock libtf, Or travel around the country in search of adventures. In those days adventures were not bard to find. The country swarmed with robber bands, who fell upon villages and unprotected castles, and took noble ladies and helpless children captive; so that, even when there Was no war, the knight's sword had no:b.ance of becomine rusty. It was & mile and lawless liie. and in some things the knight was rude and lawless himself, but his vow of knighthood bound hira to respect the innocent and helpless, to defend the Christian .faith, and to do all in his power to bring wrong doers to justice. One of the most celebrated knights was known as the Chevalier Bayard, and the charge which his mother gave him when he .received his svord will show what the true knight was expected to be: "Serve God," she said, "and He will aid .thee; be sweet and courteous to every gentleman in divesting thyself of all pride. Ue not a flatterer or tale-bearer, for this kind of people come not to great erfection; be loyal in word and in deed ; keep thy word, be helpful to the poor and orphan, and God will reward it to thee." -One may be a knight nowadays if he will only follow this good advice. Generally the knights were associated together in brotherhood or orders, some of which have lasted to this day, though they do not any longer serve the purpose for which thy were intended Thus the Order of the Garter in England has survived for over 5 0 years, while that of the Golden Fleece in Spain and Austria is very nearly as old. it was to the latter that Charles the Fifth, the Emperor of Germany, belonged, and he received the sword stroke, or accolade, as the ceremony of making a knight was called, when lie was only three months old. He was born on the24th of February, 1500, and it was the 1 1 tit of June in the same year when lie ras knighted It ha always been thought remarkable that the little Duke of Cumberland, son of George II. of England, should have been knighted when he was four years old, but Charles V. began his knightly career even .before he left nis nurse's arms. As it turned out. the career was a lona and eventful one. No royal child was ever born t a richer inheritance than little Charles. His father was Philip. Archduke of Austria. Who was the son of Maximilian, Emperor of Germany, and Maria, daughter of Charles the Hold. Duke of Burgundy; while his mother, Joanna, was the daughter of the great Spanish King and Queen, Ferdinand and Isalwlla. The latter you will remember as the patron of Col om bus, through whose generosity he was able to make the great voyage that resulted in the discovery of America At the death of . his . grandfather. Ferdinand, when he was only sixteen, be became King of Spain ; and three years later, when his other grandfather Maximilian, also died, he was elected Emperor of Germany, This was the highest distinction in the world at that time. Uefore he was twenty years old Charles dominions spread over the Spanish Peninsula, the Netherlands. Germany, the West' Indies, and so much of the American continent as had yet been discovered. The sun never set it is said upon his realms. No man on earth was o powerful a he; few, indeed, so powerful have ever lived. Nearly all his lifetime was spent in war. The countries which he governed were widely separated, and included so many dif

ferent people, that in one part "or another revolution wai going on most of the time; while, if things were quiet at hjme, his constant enemy. Francis I. of France, might always be depended on to keep hint riehtin . Between his own people, whether in Hpain, Flanden, or Germany, the French, and the Turks, Charles was kept all the time busy, though he found oppotunitr, meanwhile, to govern his empire in a wise and vigorous way, and to oppose with as much vigor, but with less wisdom, the new German reformer, Martin Luther. It is interesting to remember at this time, when people are celebrating the four hundredth anniversary of Luther's birth, that between hint and the Emperor Charles there was a perpetual conflict. Charles could not be anything eLse but a Cathotic; and when be heard how boldly Luther had nailed Iiis confession of faith to the Church door at Wittenburg, and what a stir the brave ac t was making throughout Germany, he begin to be alarmed for the safety of tue Romish Church. lie was barely twenty-one years old at that time, but he felt himself the defender of the faith, and accordingly summoned Luther to appear before the Diet or Congress of (erman States, which was to meet at Worms. Fortunately for Luther, Charles was young, and milder in temper than be was in later lite. Years afterward he reproached himself with having neglected his duty, for the sake of bis word, in allowing Luther to get away lite. One of the bravest and best things that Charles ever did was the capture of the fortress of Coletta, in Tunis. This was held by the Moorish pirate Barbarossa, who had submitted to the Sultan Solyman, and had received command of the Ottoman fleet. In the fort were 300 Christian prisoners, suffering all the terrible hardsuips which the Moors were accustomed to inflict on their captives.and probably never expecting again to be free. Charles, however, by a bold rush captured the fort,kuocked otl" their chains, and allewed them to turn the guns on their former mastery, which we may believe they willingly did. Toward the end of bis life his wars were less successful, and although Luther ha I died. Protestantism still lived and thrived. All his efforts had not succeeded in killing it, and at length be had found himself unwillingly obliged to recognize it as the religion of a great part of his subjects. Age and sickness, too, came upon hi tu, and when he was fifty-six years old, and had reigned forty vear?, he concluded to resign his crown to his son, Philip II., and retire himselt to a monastery. In the same room where the little baby, so many years before, had received the stroke of knighthood, the great Monarch now laid down bis power. Perhaps there were some there who remembered the earlier scene.and recalled all the imjtortant events that had happened between, and thought mournfully how little royalty and wealth and power add to the enjoyment of life, and how so on, at any rate, ail thee things must pa away. Charles lived two years after that, and died in the monastery, having taken an odd fancy, three weeks before his death, to celebrate his own funeral rites. How a Cloud ruinbll D two. IHorslia Carltn, ia Golden OaTs. Everybody seems to think you ought tobe glad when your birthday comes. But I don't believe some folks are. f know my Aunt Jennie is rot. She said to mamma, the other day: "Now Delia'' that's mamma-"when my birthday comes, on the fifth, don't, tor pity sake, speak of it before Dick" Dick is pipa. Mamma said: Why not? ' And Aunt Jennie raid: "Oh, because I snail be so old. and I don't care to have every one remind me of the fact. After this, I prefer to have my birthdays in private." Mamma laughed, and I thought: "How strange of Aunt Jennie! For if yon have private birthdays, how can folks know when to give you a present?" Mamma said: "You'll be thirty, wontyou?" And Aunt Jennie kind of shievered and said: "Horrible fact!"' "Well, I won't tell," said mamma, "it shall be a dead secret between us two." But they did not tell me not to tell. They never seemed to think of me. Now, secrets always kind of weigh on ray mind this one did and by Wednesday, the birthday, I could not bear the weight any longer. So at dinner I said -and there was company present, too: "Fa pa, Aunt Jennie is t h-i-r-t-y years old to-day. But it's a dead secret." And Aunt Jennie turned red, and mamma frowned at me. But I think Aunt Jeunie ought to have been grateul to me, tor father gave her the prettiest book thatevening when he came home all on account of my telling Now, I like my birthdays. Catch me havine private ones. On my last birthday.though, when I was ten years old, some pretty provoking things happened. The very first thing that morning, when I was sovul asleep in my bed, my bad brother Dick Mamed after papa, you see he remembered was iuy birthday, and he thought he would c. 'lebrate it in his own way.' Doys are so mean, you know, always teasing the cat, or their sisters, or doing something disagreeable, I forget to say that I'm not a boy inysülf I'm a girl; but mamma calls me a to'm-boy sometimes. Why, if I'd known what Dick was going to do. I believe I would have kept my birthday private, like Aunt Jennie. 1 would to Dick, anyway; not everybody, of course, on account of the presents Well. I ll telt you what he d.d. . He went and got some red pepper aud dropped it on my tongue when I was asleep, I suppose 1 iuust have had my mouth open, though I never do sleep with it ouen. very often. The pepper burned awfully, and I began to dream I had been telling fibs, like the boy in the fable. His tongue burned, you know. But the minute I opened my eyes I "took in the situation," as papa always says. I know our Dick so well, you see. Besides, Isaw him watching me through a kno: hole inthe door But I was not going to let him see how badly the ieper was making me feel, so I turned my face to the wall, and rubbed my tongue on the sheet. Then I felt some better, and made believe to go to sleep a-ain; but my tongue burned a'good dial while I was pretending. I thint 1 looked pretty calm though. . "Oh, il Dick had only known the resolves f was making inside of me about punishing him! But I never said a word about red p?pper to him all day. I was not ready yet, and I guess Dick thought the pepper must have been poor at uff, that I did uot make any fuss. As long as it bud burned me I was dreadful angry, but afterwards I did not want to hurt Dick exactly, but I wanted to pay him back I could uot think of anv way for awhile. But that night it began to rain, and it rained all night aud all the next day, just as Lard as it could jKjur. The day after my birthday man ma sent me into the boys' room for something, and then, all at once,I thought of a way to pun-' ish llr. Dick. It seemed to me a very extranice way, too: but I suppose I must have been mistaken, for mamma scolded me, after I bad done it, Larder than for anything I ever did before in all my life When I went into the room I noticed tliat the ceiling looked rather strange. The walls and ceiling are not plastered in some of the Louses here in California; the ' ceilings are made of thick canvas stretched from one wall to another, and the walls are papered. It had rained so bard the last twenty-four hour that the water had come through the roof, but it did not drip on the floor, because of the thick canvas.

It just collected there, and tho ceiling in looked all one place, right over Dick's bed, baggy, and weighed down with I don't suppose any o:ie eUfl had the water. notice! it yet. Well, the thought came to me could only make the water fall tint if I dawn on

Dick w lien he was asleep, what a glorious thing it would be! But I really did not think of there being more than a little water there. If I hsd, I would not have doae what ldid. But at first I could not think how to make the watar run out of the canvas. I got the broom and stood up on the bed and experimented a little by poking the ceiling with the handle; but it would only kind of sink in the place where I oked it, and look all the heavier in other places. I saw that I could never poke a hole in it with the broom handle. Then I remembered the new pitchfork. It was just the thing, witlt its four sharp tires. 1 never said a word to anybody, but went out and got the pitchfork and put it ander inj" bed. ready for use that night Mamma always aouds us to bed by eistht o'clock, and Dick hadn't been to bed five minutes that night, when I could hear him through the odea door breathing loud, the way folks do when they are sound asleep. I hadn't gone to bed at all. Then I grabbed my pitchfork and marched into Dick's room. It was pretty light from the hall, and I could see well enough where to go. I jumded upon the bed and flourished my pitchford. and said: "Six, seven, tyrannis! This is to pay yoa for putting red pepper on my tongue!" And then 1 drew the pitchfork across the canvas ceiling. But eh, dear! I never thought bow quick the water would come down, nor how much tqere was! I think there must have been a whole cloud up there, and it came down whole all over me. myself, ai well as Dick and poor little kaby Willie; and I had not meant to have a drop go on Willie only just some on Dick's face. 1 was awfully scared when the water came down, and I screamed just as loud as I could; and Dick jumped up, and screamed louder than I did. lie was nearly choked at first, and baby Willie cried louder than any of uj sei earned. I'apa and mamma and Aunt Jennie came rushing in, with a lamp, and Dick sat up there in bed, all shivering and wet, and said: "Oh. oh! The world is being drowned out, and we haven't got any ark." I raid: "It ain't; it's onlyju3t a cloud that fell out of the ceiling " I'apa examined the ceiling, and he saw where the water came from, but he did not know at first that I made it come. Mamma had to make up anew bed for Dick aud Willie, and have all their clothes changed, and mine, too. Suddenly mamma, who had been too sacred before to think, thought of something. She said : "How did you happen lo be in here, Nettie?" And then, oh dear! i had to tell. But I told tho whole truth about the pepper, and the pitchfork, and the cloud, aud all. But I guess I wint tell you the rest. I don't feel like it. What would your folks have done to you? But, anyway," Dick got punished, too, for the red-pepper part. LITTLE FOLK.

The following narrative comes to us in cold blood from the honest old "Wooden Nutmeg State:" A little jtirl attended Church for the first time and listened to an elegant sermon from the text: "An angel came down fron Heaven and took a live coal from the altar." !She was afterwards asked what the text was, and delivered the following astonishing rendering: "An Injun came down from New Haven and took a live colt by the tail and jerked him out of his halter!"

FORTY BILLIOJf GEItJTH.

A Wonderful Theory That Cmrern the Welfare, Il.ippinea and Life of tierrone. In his oniet and cosy library at the close of a busy day sat a gentlemen and his wife. be absorbed in anew booü and s;ie manewsCaper. Quickly glancing toward her hnsand, she asked, at a certain point in the article: "John, what is the germ theory?" "The germ theory well ye; just look in the encyclopedia under 'Germ.' that will explain it so much better than lean." Accordingly his wife opened jt he book at the word named' and read: Germ Theory of Disease A theory advanced by the ablest and best investigators and scientists of the times It 6uppose the surface of the earth , the air and water to be inhabited to a greater or less extent with a peculiar growth of the lowest form of fungi commonly termed bacteria, whose power of reproduction, under favorable conditions, is so great that a single germ will increase to fifteen millions in twenty-four hours' time, and unchecked in its increase would grow to a ruas3 ot 80o tons in three days' time, if space and food be furnished There is no condition under which it can be said to be absent, unless it be from fire or air filtered through cotton-batting in numerous layers. A single drop of water contaning a germ put into water boiled, filtered and thus freed from bacteria, will grow murky in a day or two from the development of new germs. When it is considered that it requires about forty billion to weigh one grain, some remote idea can be bad of tho capacity of germ reproduction. Professor John Tyndall, in a late work, elaborately treats ot tne influence of germs in the propagation of disease, and charges upon this cause the inc?ption and development of very many of the ailments most injurious to man. 1'rofessor Pasteur, an eminent French savant, has carried his original and beautiful experiments so far, and from them deduce I such practical results as very greatly to diminish the number of cases of anthrax among sheep, and chicken cholera among fowls; proving bis theory that these are essentially and actually germ diseases. These germs are carried into the system through the lungs, the stomach, and Kssibly the skin, but through the lungs chiefly. Once in tho system, they begin to develope poisoning the blood, invading the nerve centers, disturbing the functional activity of the great organs of the body, and inducing a general impairment of the vital processes. They are the cause of fevers, rheumatism, Bright's disease of the kidneys, pneumonia, blood poisoning, liver diseaiie, diphtheria and many other ailments. Lately Professor Koch, a famous German physician, has proved that consumption of the lungs is due to this cause; the presence of a jculiar germ When the circulation is bounding, the nerves elastic and the system all aglow with life and energy, the germs seem to develop poorly, if at all. But with weakened nerves, poor digestion or malassimilation ot food or a lowering of vitality from any cause, a change ensues, and in this impoverished and weakened fluid the germ finds a genial home and develops until symptoms of disease are distinctly manifested. This is seen in the every-day experience of all. The healthy man resists the influences around him and docs not take cold, while those whose systems have become weak from any cause readily contract colds. This is on the same principle as the germ theory. The germs attack any weakened spot in the body, and, fixing themselves upon it. begin their propagation. It is plain, therefore, that it is only by fortifying the weak portioaj of the body that the germs of disease can be resisted ans driven from the system. But this has proved almost an impossibility heretofore, and it has been the study of physicians for years how best to accomplish it. Within the past few years, however, a preparation has been attracting great attention, not only throughout the e ti tire, land, but among the medical profession and scientists generally, which is based upon this theory, and it may safely be said no remedy has ever been found which can so successfully place the system in a condition to resist the germs of disease as Warner's Safe Cure. This article is unquestionably the best and most efficient that has ever been discovered for this purpose, and "John, say, John? does the Encyclopedia advertise V arner's Safe Cure?" "I should not wonder, dear; it's a grand remedy, and that pamphlet we received the other day stated that Dr. Gunn, of the United States Medical College, indorsed it. At all events the wonderful cures it is accomplishing entitle it to be honorably noted among the great discoveries of the present century." However the facts above stated may be, the truth remains that the germ theory of disease is the correct one, and that the great remedy mentioned is the only one which has ever been found that can put the system in a condition to kill these germs before they obtain a hold upon the body and undermine the life. A Word to Mothers. Clara P. Davidson in Woman's Journal. Do you ever take time to teach your children to abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors? It is not enouch to tell them a few instances of drunkenness that have fallen under your immediate notice; vou should be able to give them scientific instruction on the hysiological effects of strong drink. Let them know that fermented liquors are a3 realty poison as putrid meat or decayed vegetables. You can not send out into the world "such men and women as it needs strong in spirit, loving and tender in heart, vigorous in intellect, fine in form, laughing with the honest happiness of perfect bealth.nnlessyoudevote a part of your time to ßtudy. These thinsrs can not be remembered from girlhood to old age; there roust be a constant brushing up and rearranging of old knowledge supplemented by the best thought and discovery of the present We should not live altogether in the past, if we do not wish to be fossils. These good results can not be brought about by a haphazard style of life; they are only reached through painstaking application of scientific knowledge. How vain, how flimsy, how absurd, how absolutely wicked, then, is the excuse, "I have no time!'' You should take time, as you take time to eat. Eurfles are pretty, white aprons are dainty, scoured floors are well enough for those who always look down, carefully prepared cakes, pies, and other delicacies for the table are tempting; yet none of these are absolutely necessary, and an intelligent mother is so. Let necessaries come first, and luxuries be counted in their proper order as only wcondary considerations. Better feed your children on plain, substantial food, that which helps in the formation of brain, bone, and muscle, instead of that which produces indigestion, headache, and sour temper. Better clothe them in plainer garments which require lesa time for making and ironing; better exercise the devil of ultra-cleanliness, if you have one, and be content with 4 modcrate degree of excellence in housekeeping; always taking care, however, that there is nothing foul or impure or filthy about the bouse, no ill-smelling cellars, stagnant pools, unvtntilated rooms, spoiled meat or vegetables, dusty carpets or filthy floors, or clothing, cupboards or dishcloths. All these things breed disease, but in your studies, if they are prosecuted intelligently, or even in your own experience, it you will appropriato its lessons, you will learn that "there's more in keeping clean than there is in cleaning.". You have no time! My dear friend, think well, and B'.udy deeply on this problem, "What do 1 live for?" "and when you have folved it, your plans for usefulness will undergo a marked revision.

At this stage of the proceeding Justice Woodman, not knowing how far the disrobing process would go, yelled out, "Hold on, madam, please." "It's all right now, judge," she smilingly said, and there she stood, the blush on her cheek contrasting strongly with the white of her petticoat, which reached to her boot-tons, and the neglige which loosely encircled her bust. The ceremony was soon over, and the happy bride, with the strong arm of her Hoosier husband, instead of an evil omen, around her, calmly put on her black outfit and proudly walked away.

The propriety lor educating women so that they may be able to fight life's battles, sue1 cessfully has been so eloquently urged by philanthropists and humanitarians that it is admitted on all hands that the philanthropists and humanitarians are in the right It does not appear to be so well understood, however, that the best way to help womeu procure employment is to fit them for employment before they procure it. This is a matter to which parents and guardians should attend. Education of this kind should begin in childhood, und when girls are treated as nearly as possible as boys are the problem of female employment will be easily solved. All women will not be successful; all men -are not. But when the gentler sex are equally qusllitied for labor they will stand an equal chance with the lords of creation. So let tLe young women be trained in mind,, in nerves, in muscle, as far as mav be, at home and at school, to begin their work. Nor is this all. To most 'women when the necessity comes for them to help themselves they are shocked at the prospect, because they have not been taught to contemplate such a necessity. This 8bock is depressing, often ;to such a degree that they can not face the inevitable with calmness and resolution., With a proper view of the possible responsibilities of life this heartbreaking ordeal need not be endured. Labor that is anticipated may be performed with a cheerfulness which is one of the components of success But after a woman has been taught toearn herbreadtheduty of society toward her is not accomplished. She needs themoral support of active sympathy, encouragement and kindness. IJeal encouragement and real -.kindness 'to the working women from her more favored sisterswill never come nntil so-called society women can be made to recoguize as honorable

any honest work. The spirit which places a social bar in the way of a well-bred, welleducated, earnest woman because she earns her own bread must bexorciscd. The kind of pitying patronage that is usually bestowed upon working women is inexpressibly galling to them. It is a blundering sort of kindness, against which the spirit of a sensitive woman rebels ajkiudness that wounds where it has no power to heal. There are a thousand ways in which working women may be helped along with wholesome heartiness. The whole problem may be solved by he application of the golden rule Whoever approaches it in a "put yourself in-her-place" sort of a way has already reached a solution. A healthy beginning will be made if women whose bread is earned for them will treat their toiling sisters with womanly considera tion and regard, and not with a -'cold po'a-toes-and-stale-bread" kind of sufferance. Such help will not cost anything, and may produce a moral eftect the extent of which can not be estimated.

There is hardly an adult person living but is sometimes troubled witn kidney difficulty, which is the most prolific and danger jus cause of all disease. There is no sort of need to have any form of kidney or urinary trouble if Hop Bitters is taken occasionally. S10O oa Kentucky. During the Tilden and Hayes campaign a numler of passengers on a railroad train crossing Indiana became very much excited talking politics. Some were very bitter against Hayes and others no less seveie on Tilden. There was a religious fanatic on board who stepped forward and remarked: "Don't surler yourselves, gentlemen, to get so excited talking politics. This is the last election we will ever have in the United States. Before the next four years roll round the Lord Jesus Christ will be King of ail Kings and I-ord of all Lords and ruler over all lands." "Look here stranger," exclaimed a tall Kantnckian as he pulled out his pocket book, "I'll bet you a hundred dollars that the Lord Jesus Christ will never carry the State of Kentucky." W. D.
