The night before last the Utica Croquet
club—composed entirely of young ladies—9
held its second meeting for the season of
1881. Two new .members were admitted,
and propqldsjfor membership were made.
The Committee on Resolutions-made their
expected report. The «resolutions were‘
, written on scented paper and penned with
violet ink. "After the business of the evening
had been finished, the young lady sitting on
the ottoman suddenly exclaimed: .
“Oh, my'l' Girls, did you hear about Cank-
ling '1’" r .
“No. What is it i" said the four misses
on the settee in one breath.
“Why, he's resigned l"
“Resigned to what. Has he

“No, no. Can’t you understand il He has
given up his senatorship." ’
“Goodness gracious! Ain't that too bad ?”
“How much did he get for it ?” queried
the girl withthe album in her lap. '
“Why, you silly thing; you ought to read
the newspapers. Senator Conkling got dis;-

—while they were trying a lawsuit. Come
..to think, Mr.~ Conkling wanted to give him
some instructions and Robertson wouldn’t
have it. Then the President appointed Rob-
ertson to collect money in some ward in
New York City—" _
“That wasn’t it," interrupted the first
speaker. “The President told Mr. Repert—

A Plea. for ,Going Barefoot.

Refusing to buy tight shoes might bring
easy ones into fashion; but boys are better
off without them, especially . in years of
rapid growth, when their measure changes
from mouth to month, for too wide shoes are
as uncomfortable as tight ones. Out-doors,
children's stockings are almost sure to get
wet, and keep the feet clammy and cold;
while a young gypsy or aScotchmau, inured
to wind and weather, treads with bare feet
the swampiest valleys and the roughest hill
roads without the least discomfort. Nature
produces a better sole-leather than any shoc-
maker; the tegument of a raccoon’s foot or
'a monkey’s hind-hand can give us the idea
of the marvels of her workmanship. The
sole of a plantigrade animal is not hard; on
the contrary, quite pliable and soft to the
touch, but Ewithal tougher than .any caout-
chouc, impervious alike to water, sand and
thorns. A camel, too, has a foot of that
sort—pads that resist the burning gravel of
the desert for years, where a horse’s hoof

An Incident in Gough’s Platform
' Experience. '
Like all other speakers,probabiy, I have
been placed in embarrassing circumstances,
and a certain amount, of self-possession has
been necessary to overcome an unexpected
difficulty or opposition, especially such. an
interruption asoften occurred in the earlier
days of temperance work. On such an oc-
casion I lost ‘all fear, and became self-pos-
sessed,watching for an opportunity to re-
taliate. The secretary of the National League
in London as ”once told me that he was
tempted to induce some one to hiss me, as
the sound of a hiss seemed to stir me up to a
more vigorous speech.
_I was never utterly put down by anon
position in my public addresses. I have been
sorely tried. On more than one occasion I
found it was of no use to employ arguments
with those who were determined to annoy
,me, but if possible would think of some apt
story to get the laugh on them; and then I
always succeeded in maintaining my own
ground. ' '
Occasionally, the most practised speaker
will be thrown 0E his guard if not self-pos-
sessed, and even with all his self-possession
may be considerably disturbed. As he sees
all before him, some trifling incident, some.
untoward accident, may upset his gravity.
At one time, a couple were seated before
me on the front, seat. They had evidently
come to hear what was to be said; just the
people one likes so speak to. They were not
critical, but. came to the hall to be pleased
(and it depends very much on the audience
whether they are pleased or not).
Sit cold, critical, determined not to be'
moved, and ‘let‘ the speaker'see"the slight
sneer on your face at his efforts. Lookzat
him, as much as to say, “What are you going
to do next ‘1’" and you will so destroy-the
elasticity of any speaker, that, if he has not
the ability to turn from you, he will be re-
riously embarrasssed. But take your place
,with the desire to be interested, look at the
speaker as if you would say, f‘We have come
expecting and desiring to be pleased; how
do your best, and we will show our approv-
"ill,” and you encourage him to“ do his heels? '
There are audiences that are positively
cruel to a speaker, and who, withoutintendé
'ingja wrong, may dees’sential and permanent
injury to a timid speaker, who by a little
encouragement might be a splendid success.
The audience can. hardly understand how
much life an occasional expression of approv-
al may put into a spea r.
But to return to my couple. They were a
middle-aged pair, who attracted my attention
at'once. As I arose they «greeted me with a
smile, and evidently settled themselves to
listen. As Igproceeded, I found them
growing more ,and more interested, and at
every point I’ms‘de, one would nod at the
Other. [At ”a. ff’unnytst‘ory. they. laughed

He felt ineach of hispocket's, then he wiped
his eyes: with his hand. ‘ Seeing his wife’s
handkerchief in her lap, he took it and began
using it. The wife soon began to sniff, and
felt for her handkerchief. Missing it. she
found her husband using it; ‘and so, With; a
loving, wifely motion, she " leaned toward
him, and taking one end of the handkerchief,
she wiped her eyes with it. The sight of
that pleasant couple, wiping their eyes with;
the same handkerchief, so excited my sense
of the absurd, that I had hard work to keep,
my face sober, and was compelled to look in:
another direction to maintain my gravity.
Then again, a ' speaker may he considers;
bly annoyed and perhaps vexed by the con-
duct of some one person in his audience. ‘A
man once sat before me, who in the midst of:
' my speech, ostentatiously drew, out a news-
paper, opened it, and began to read, turning
it over with a very unpleasant rattle. I bore
it as long as I thought it best, then I said a
few. words, requesting him to bear with the
speaker's lack of power to interest him,and to
go to sleep rather than to disturb those'who
desired to listen.
Once a couple of young ladies had taken a
sent directly in front of me, and I had hardly
commenced when they began to whisper and»
giggle, and became so excited in their con-
versation that they were evidently annoying
others. I did not like to.tell them to stop
talking, SO I said? “A minister told me
that he regretted very much rebuking two
young ladies who were disturbing him and
others by talking during the discourse, for
he' was told that one of these young ladies
had just secured a bean, and that she was so
exceedingly tickled about it, she could not
refrain on all occasions when ' she could get
a listener from expatiating on the dear young
man’s perfections: there seemed to be so
many of them she could never exhaust the
enumeration; and when she' began to talk
about her beau, she went on interminably.
Just so whenever I see two young ladies
talking together in a church, or ‘at a lecture,
I imagine one or the other, or both, have
got a bean, and it would be hardly fair to
disturb them, so I let them talk.” The
whisperers troubled me no more. '

Use ofLemons. _
For all people, in sickness or in health,
lemonade is a safe drink. It corrects bil-
iousnes's. It is a specific against worms and
skin complaints. The pippins crushed may
also be mixed with water and sugar and used
as a drink. Lemon juice is the best anti-
scorbutic remedy known. It not only cures
the disease, but prevents it. . Sailors make a
daily use of it for this purpose. 'A physician
suggests rubbing of the gums. daily with
lemon juice to keep them in health. The
hands and nails are also kept clmn, white,
soft and supple by tho daily use of lemons
instead of soap. It also prevents chilblains.
Lemon used in intermittent fevers is mixed
with strong, hot black tea or codes, withbut

NORWALK,
How to Prevent Drowning.
A writer in Nature says: I wish to show
how drowning might, under ordinary cir-
cumstances, be avoided even in the case of
persons otherwise wholly ignorant of whatgis
called the art of swimming. The numerous
frightful casualties render every working
suggestion of importance, and that which I
here offer I venture to think is entirely avail-
able:
When one of the inferior animals takes the
water, falls, or thrown in, it instantly begins
to walk as it does when out of the water.
But when a man who can not “swim" falls
into the water, he makes a‘few spasmodic
struggles, throws up his arms and drowns.
The brute, on the other hand, treads water,
remains on the surface, and is virtually
insubmergible. In order, then, to 'escape
drowning, it is only necessary to do as the
brute does, and that is to trend or walk the
water. The brute has no advantage in regard
of 'his relative weight, in respect of the
water, Over man, and yet the man parishes
while the brute lives. Nevertheless, any
man, any woman, any child who can walk
on the laiid may also Walk in the water jult
as readily as the"animal does, if only he will,
and that without any prior- instruction or
drilling whatever. Throw a dog into the
water and'he treads or walks instantly, and
there is no imaginable reason why a human
being under like circumstances should not do
as the dog does.
The brute indeed walks in- the water in-
stinctively, whereas the man has to be mm.
The ignorance of so ‘ simple a possibility,
namely, the possibility of treading water,
strikes me as one of .the most singular things
in the history of man, and speaks very little
indeed for his intelligence. He is, in" ,fact,
as ignorant on‘ the subject as the new-born
babe. Perhaps something is to be ascribed
to the vague meaning which is attached to
the word “swim.” When a man swims it
means one thing, when a dog swims it means
another and quite a difierent act. _ The dog
is wholly incapable of swimming as a man
swims, but nothing is more certain than a
man is capable of swimming, and on the in-
ltant,too,asa dog swimswithout any previous
training or instruction, and that by so doing
without fear of hesitancy, he will be just as
safe in the water nsthe dog is.
The brute in the water continues to go on
all fours, and the ‘man who wishes to save
his life and can not otherwise swim must do
'so' too, striking alternately, one, two, one,
two, butwithout hurry or precipitation, with
hand and foot exactly as the brute does.
Whether he be provided with paw or hoof,
the brute swims with the greatest ease and
buoyancy. The human being, if he will,
can do so too, with the further immense ad-
vantage of having a paddle-formed hand, and
of being able to rest himself when tired, by
floating, a thing of which the animal has no
conception. ‘
Men and animals are able to sustain them-
selves for long distances in the water, and
would do so much oftener were they not in;
capacitated, in jregard to the former at least
by sheer terror, as wellas complete ignorance,
of their'real powers. .

The Comet.
Stated with a view .to popular apprehen-
sion, the main facts relating to the comet of
1881 may be thus given. It was. according
to present information, discovered by Crnls,
a Brazilian astronomer, on May 29, 1881, and
announcement of its elements was officially
made in Brazil June 6 and sent by cable dis-.
patch from the Emperor to the FrenchrAcadJ
In later progress it passed nearly in
line between the earth and the sun, in which
position it was eight or ten days ago. It is
this peculiarity of its motion which has rend-
ered its discovery so difilcult, although it has
really been in our sky for more than a mouth.
It did not rise until after sunrise,~and it set
every afternoon before the sun did, so it was
hidden from view.
. Amos, however, asit
gotnorth of the sun it an to rise a little
before the sun and to set a little after. Its
nearest approach to the earth was on June 23,
when it was 28,900,000 miles away. On the,
26th it was 31,500,000 miles off. Its course
is nearly towards the pole of the earth as that
polé extends into infinite space; in. other
words, in its passage from its present position
out of sight it will pass almost into range
with the north-star. . Its rate of motion is
something terrific, or as twenty-five miles per
second or 1,500 miles per minute. The swift-
est express train seldom goes more than a
mile in a minute. It may be consoling to the ‘
nervous to know that we were at woi'st more
than 28,000,000 miles within the line of safe-
ty. Several comets of record have come
nearer to us than this. Comets are a very
ordinary matter in our solar system. Sir
Isaac Newton said that there were “ as many
in our sblar system as there are fhh in the
sea." Six were observed at Cambridge last
year, and four of them carefully calculated.
These were quite small, and these smaller
ones are more interesting to the astronomer,
since the return is quicker, and repeated ob-
servations of them may be taken as they suc-
cessively go through their orbits. The size
of the nucleus of the comet of 1881 is less
than 1,000 miles in diameter. Its head or
coma is about 10,000 miles in diameter. Its
tail is more than 40,000,000 miles long. and
the spread of the tail at its outer extremity is
more than 1,000,000 miles. But slight spec-
troscopic observations have been made at
Cambridge, and these did not disclose any
lines of light, but gave a continuous spectrum,
or, in other words, indicated that the nucleus
is a solid or liquid, and not a gaseous body.
Attention has mainly been given at Cam-
bridge to measurements by the photometer,
to determine the relative brilliancy of the
:several parts. At other American-observato-
ries attention is given specially to the spec-
troscope and at others in photographing the
phenomenon.-—‘Boston Adsertber. '

' A Gallant Deed.
The following incident occurred: during a
general review of the Austrian cavalry a few
months ago. .Not far from 30,000 cavalry
were in line. A little child—a girl—of not
more than four years, standing in the front
row of spectators, either from fright or some
other cause, rushed out into the open field
just as a squadron of hussars came sweeping
around from the main body. They made
the detour for the purpose of saluting the
empress, whose carriage was drawn up in
that part of the parade ground. Down came
thefiy-ing squadron, charging at a mad gal-
lop—down directly upon the child. e
mother was paralyzed. as were others, for
there could be no rescue from the line of
spectators. , .
The empress uttered a cry of horror, for
the child's destruction seemed inevitable—
and such a terrible destruction—the tramp—
ling to death by a thousand iron hoofs.
Directly under the feet of the horses was the
little one—another instant must seal its doom
when a stalwart hussar, who was in the front
line, without slackening his's‘peed' or loosing
his hold, threw himself over by the side of
the horse’s neck, seized and‘lift'ed the child,
and placed it in safety upon his saddle—bow.
and this he did without changing his pace
or breaking the correct alignment of, the
squadron. Ten thousand voices hailed with
rapturous applause the gallant deed, and
other thousands applauded when-,they knew.
Two women there were who could anly sob
forth their gratitude in broken accents—the
motherand‘ the empress; And a proud and
happy moment it must have been for the

along the teeth to see whether it was.“losing
its set.” He failed'to decide, in his surprise
at finding that he was taking aim at the
minister, who stepped in range just at that
moment on the street side of the fence. His
eyes came into gear again as he laid his saw
on the wood pile and stepped up to the
fence, saying, “Well, it is queer. It's only
a minute ago I was thinkin' about you. I
was thinkin’ what a good sermon that was
you gave us last Sunday morning,’ on know
I would teli‘you so the first time I saw you."
Uncle Tim was the wood-sawyer and days-
work factotum for the village. Unlearned
as he was, the minister always missed him if
he was absent from church—he was such a
helpful listener. And to Uncle Tim’s
compliment he replied, "You told me that
you thought it was at the time; in the way
you listened to it; though, for that matter,
you always seem to be interested. I don't
suppose you know what ,a comfort such a
bearer is to a minister. If all the congre-
gation were like you, I think it would turn
my poor se'rmons into good ones.” “Thank
you," said Uncle Tim. “I don't always
get the hang of everything that’s said but I
should get less if I didn’t give attention. An’
works hard to write his sermons, an’ if folks
don’t listen to 'em, its pretty discouraging.’
An’ I says, ‘You can't put much into the
contribution box, Tim, an’ you can’t talk in
prayer-inestin,’ but you can 'count one in
listenin'; you can try to ’preciate what other
folks do."’ “The talent for appreciating is
an excellent one to have,” remarked the
minister. “Well, as I look at it, it’s one as‘
isn’t denied to anybody," said Uncle Tim.
“An’ if it’s the only one I’ve got, I’ll try
not to wrap it in a napkin. ‘ When Deacon
Mason does me good by one of his experience
talks in prayer.meetin’I think it‘s no more
than right he shoald know it. Pfraps he has

can talk better if he knows he's doing
somebody some good. An' when Widder

her children together, an give "em an educa-
tion, I think mebbe it makes it a little easier
for her to stand up to it if a neighbor drops
a word of -’preciati0n once in a while.”
The minister said nothing, but there was a
look of “ ’preciation” on his face, and Uncle
Tim continued, “The other day I see the
young school ma’am was lookin’ worn out
and sober like. I 'magined them. big boys
from the Holler was worryin’ the life out
of her. An’ I didn’t know how I could help
that. But at noon I just Went (down to the

How Long Should we Sleep.
Dr. Felix L. Oswald in Popular Science Monthly
for July. . »
The vital processes of man, like those of
all his fellow-creatures, are partly controlled
by automatic tendencies. Some functions of
our internal economy are too important to be
trusted to the caprices of human volition ;
breathing, eating, drinking, and even love,
are only semi-voluntary actions; and during
a period varying from one-fourth to two-fifths
of each solar day the conscious activity of the
senses undergoes a complete suspense; the
cerebal workshop is closed for repairs, and
the abused or exhausted body commits. its
organism into the healing hands of Nature,
Under favorable conditions eight hours of
undisturbed sleep would almost suffice to
counteract the physiological mischief of the
sixteen waking hours. During sleep the or-
gan ofconsciousness is at rest, and the ener-
gies of the system seem to be concentrated.
on the function of nutrition and the renewal
of the vital energy in general; sleep pro—
motes digestion, repairs the waste of the
muscular tissue, favors the process _of cuta-
neous excretion, and renews thelvigor of the
mental faculties. -
The amount of sleep required by man is
generally proportionate to the waste of vital
strength, whether by mulcuIar exertion, men-
tal activity (or emotion), or by the process of
rapid assimilation, as during the first years
of growth and during the recovery from an
exhausting disease. The weight of a new-
born child increases more rapidly than that
of a eupeptic adult, enjoying a liberal diet af-
ter a period of starvation, and, though an in-
fant is incapable of forming abstract ideas,
we need not doubt that the variety of new
and bewildering impressions must overtask
its little sensorium in a few hours. N urs-
lings should therefore be permitted to sleep
to their full satisfgction; weakly babies, es-
pecially, need sleep more than food, and it is
the safest plan never to disturb a child’s
slumber while the regularity tilts breathing

about the superior health, the strength and
the wisdom of our great-grandfathers and
great-grandmothers. It is a common thing
to hear old people, who ought to have better
sense, talking show the good old times and
the higher mental and physical ability of
those who lived long ago. While we have
great respect for the old folks. living and
dead, we must not-shut our eyes to the re-
ality. The truth is that people live longer
now than they ever did. The medical pro-
fession knows more now than it ever did;
and we could put into the field to-day a big.
ger army of centenarians than our grand-
fathers could iu the goodvold days when they
were young. Moreover, ’old people now are
much more vigorous than-the old people of
times past. -‘0ur people are .growing larger
and stronger. It is not so yery many . years
since the American woman was a slight, deli-
cate creature; now sheis tall and portly. The
numbers of singularly tall and well-propor-
tioned young men and women to be seen in
the streets of New York to-day astonish the

of forty or fifty years ago.

popular of all the common wild flowers.
Never has it been more abundant" in more
beautiful in the country—never so sought for
and so patronized by the ladies of the, .city.
whose admiration and presentation of it has
been in no sense lack a Mal.
Let all, then, learn
A Daisy Lesson.
BY HANNAH CODDXNGTON-
Out in the fields, all drenched with dew,
And bathed in sunshine,'daisies grew,—
' Pure hearts of gold, with snowy fringe;
Life from the barren earth they drew.
U U I I. t D
The greenhouse door-stood open wide,
The air was heavy with : perfume.
Laden with moisture, daily drawn
By sunlight through the tender gloom.
Narrow and sweet the pathway was,
Tall palms. out ferns met overhead,
But one moved down the greenhouse aisle,
With anguished look, and heart that bled.
“Is there a God who thinks or cares,
Whate’er becomes of .such as I? ,
Why struggle on in vain for years,—
I from mischief can never fly.
“Had I but half a chance to be
That which I know I could, and ought!
But all is lavished here on. things
That never sinned, or wept, or fought.
“The coarsest weed outside this door,
Might change to something rich and fair,
Sheltered from storms iind burning heat.
In soil like this, or with such care."

Dear heart, thy lowly lesson learn,—
The poorest ground has much to give;
’Tis what we take from it that makes
Barren or full the years we live.
For in the fields, all drenched with dew,
And bathed in sunshine, daisies grew,
With heart of gold and snowy fringe,—
Beauty fromjcommon earth they drew.

COMFORT ONE ANOTHER.
av menu a. smcsrun.
Comfort one another;
For the way is growing dreary;
The feet are often weary,
And an heart is vary sad. '
There is heavy burden-bearing.
When it seems that none are caring,
And we half forget that ever we were glad.
Comfort one another; .
With the hand-clasp close and tender,
With the sweetness love can render,
And the looks of friendly eyes.
Donot wait with grace unspoken,
While life's daily bread is broken,
Gentle speech is oft like manna from the
skies. -
Comfort one another ;
There are words of music ringing
Down the ages, sweet as singing
Of the happy choirs above.
Ransomed saint and mighty angel
Lift the grand deepwoiced evangel,
Where foréver they are praising the Eternal
Love.
Comfort one another;
By the hope of Him who sought us
-In our peril—Him who bought us,
Paying with His precious blood :
By the faith that will not alter.
Trusting strfirgth that shall not falter,
Leaning on the One Divinely Good.
Comfort one another ;
Let the grave-gloom lie behind you,
While the Spirit's words remind you,
0f the home beyond the tomb.
’ Where no more is pain or parting,
Fever’s flush or tear-drop starting,
But the presence of the Lord, and for all His
people room.

CHILDREN’S JOY.
The children’s world is full of sweet sur-
prises:
Our common things are precious in their
sight; -
For them the stars shine, and the morning
rises
To show new treasures of untold delight.
A dance of bluebells in the shady places;
A crimson flush of sunset in the west;
The cobwebs, delicate as fairy laces ;
The sudden finding of a wood-bird’s nest.
The hearts and lips are full of simple praises
To him who made the > earth divinely
sweet; . .
They dwell among the buttercups and dais
sies, _
And find his blessings strewn about their
feet.
But we, worn out by days of foil and sorrdw,
And sick of pleasures that are false and
vain, _
Would freely give our golden hoards to bor-
row ,
One little hour of childhood's bliss again.
Yet he who sees their joy, beholds our sad-
new.
And in the wisdom of a Father’s love
He keeps the secretof the heavenly giadness:
Our sweet surprises wait for as above. .

' A Cheerful View ofDeatli.
Mr. Beecher talked about death and the
grave at his prayer meeting Friday evening.
On these cheerful subjects he entertained his
audience for more than half an hour. A
future state, he said, is hardly mentioned in
the Old Testament. It is not till we reach
heaven and hell. Any future punishment
will be mental, ‘not physical. Men carry
their habits and practices in this life beyond
the grave. There is no use of thinking much
about death, for you cannot tell how youwill
die. Nine out of ten of you will die in per.
feet calm, like a snowflake melting in the
palm of the hand Not more than one person
in a million is racked with remorse at death,
as we sometimes speak of. This is all fium.
mery. Bad men die just about ' as good men
die. There is very little difference as far as
the physical death is concerned. It is ten
thousand times easier to die than to be born.
A ’Wonn 'ro Giana—Many a girl is care-
less as to how much money a young man
spends for her. Three and five dollars for a
‘ horse and carriage he can poorly afford, per-
haps, yet she will go with him week after
week, with no particular interest in him, un-
mindful apparently whether. he earns the
money or takes it from his employer's.
drawer. He makes her expensive presents.
He takes her to a concert in going to which
usually, save for her pride and his gallantry,
n horse-car ride for ten cents would be far
wiser than a carriage ride for several dollars.
A young man respects a young woman all
the more who is careful of the way in which
he spends his money, and will not permit too
much to be used for her. A thoughtful and.
welLbred girl will be wise about these mat-
ters.
A Sari-Francisco lady wanted her little girl
to bathe in a room the windows of which
opened into the yard, in which were some-
fowls. “But,” said the little girl, “I don't
'want to bathe before the chickens." “Oh,
never mind the chickens," said the mother.
“Well,” said the little woman, “I won't bathe
before the rooster, anyhow.”
