LITTLE THINGS.
Hesfi5e Nut The Ha) 111' Small Ihin.
In the uu'l rush of this busy, hustling
stirring age, there is a great teudency tu
ignore liiilu things the little motives
and acts that go tu luako up our daily
life, like the seconds that make the
minutes, and in turn mark the hours
The great mass uf humanity is in a
wild and frenzied rush for something big
They want to grasp it all at nunc.
The mind and heart must be developed
by degrees. All minds havu not the
same c ipahilities, nor have all hearts the
same moral prcecptioti or tender sympa
thies. The mind must grow and the
heart must be developed. This growth
is necessarily slow, us all growth is.
The child must learn its alphabet, letter
by letter, before it can form words or
read sentences. The biy must study his
multiplication table and learu tuadd figures
together, b'.foro lie can comprehend the
lighter mathematics. The heart intM
be made to understand right and wrong,
to percieve the evils that fulluw bad
actions, before il will be strong to insist
temptation All this is a matter of little
thinos.
In character building it is the pa tiic
ol the little virtues that makes beautiful
and sirmiL' the whole life, and en ib'cs one
to discharge tlie duties ami tlie respon
sibilities that devolve upon him Man
hull l.shisowu character, little by little, and
upon that th ' world erects his reputation.
His character can never be inj ired
save by his own net. His reputation may
be destroyed by the breath of scandal or
the connivance uf enemies And this
breath ul scandal and these aels of
enemies are very little things.
If I he little acts that go ti makeup
the (.very-diiy life in secret and in the
busy world are pure and bright, then the
cheracter will he stud led all uver witli
gems.

WHAT TO EAT.
Siime SeNtlc Sudffesliuii

That Shtiiill

Aralstouitc, writing in that excellent
gaslronutuie journal, What Tu Kal,
makes a few sensible suggestions in re
gard to the diet I hat ought lo be posted
in every household. He says that the
healthiest and purest lives come fretu
those who do not eat meat before tlie
ago of 1,1.
Putaloes, sliced thin and fried, arc in
digestible. While tasting delicious, they
ullord no real nourishment and cause a
derangement of the liver.
.Cake clogs the stomach. All rich
pastry is poison to the liver. Soft cara
mels and cream arc also bad for any one
with a liver at all rebellious.
When you get uld, luok out fur your
foud. Ho yuu ever notice that grand
father's face is uot us jolty as it used to
be? His strength of mind also seems
slowly disappearing, though ho is getting
fleshier every day. He needs a change
of fond. Probably be lias been eating
buckwheat cakes and syrup, white bread
and butter, sugar, fat meats, etc. (jive
him lean meat mid li-h, cracked wheat
potatoes, barley cakes, rye bread and
out hem corn cakes. Try it, and in
stead uf moping and sitting around the
muse all day you will tinej liuu running
iroiind lively us a cricket.
.Maybe, on tlie coutrary, lie is growing
thin and pale. Then he needs buck
wheat and molasses, fat meals, mashed
potatoes in milk, northern corn, cracked
wheat and fish, oatmeal porridgo aud
fruits cveiy morning.
All rules have their exceptions, and
i' diet described for the mass may not
answer for exceptional cases, but the fol-
owing directions are iroud for tho nia-
ority:
Milk is the simplest and most natural
'nod. If ymi cannot drink it, your stoin
icli is iu a diseased condition. Cheese
is a good substitute, il tuild, Ircsti and
mide from pure cream. Persons
who live mostly un vegetables have the
best nerves aud tho best couitilcxiuns.
lied pcpp.r is an excellent condiment.
Its effect upon tlie liver is remarkable.
Malaria, iir rmiitent fever or congestive
hills catiuot endure the presence uf red
pepper, l ure rcl pepper (known us
cayenne) should lie on every table.
II health is caused largely by improp
er food which is in a bad couditiou when
it is eaten .
'Let me give you a pointer," Mid
M. I". (iregg, a popular conductor on the
Missouiil'acitie r.iiiroad. "lo you know
that Chamberlain' Colic, Choleia and
Iharrhoca llemedy cures you when you
have tlie stoiu I 'll ache? Well, it does,'
And afier giving (his frendly hit of advice
the jolly conductor passed on dowu the
ile. It is a fact tli.it thousands of rail
road and traveling men never take a t ri i
without ii bottle of this Hcniedy, which is
the best cure lor bowel disotdcrs in tht
world, "."i and .'ill cent hi tiles.
