Have a chair by the stove, and when you

yea, even a moment after; you will work
all the faster for the short change of

chair in the coziest corner, where good
light will come in, and let the sun strike
upon you if possible, so that you may
get the strengthening, health-giving
iutluence of it. Drop your hands occas
ionally and let them ret. Let your eye
wander out through the window-glass as
far as possible and rest your eyes by
looking at something interesting out of
doors. Don't rule all the time. Drop
the reins of household government for a
little while, unbend yourself and sit
down on the rug and play with the
children, an i, as it were, become again
a child.
Economize your strength. Sit when

Who Dilates

Mother.
Love of u
Mrs. Arp's Fight With the Croup.
Remedies World Without End.
The Philosophic Pair
Discussing Medicine.
Cartersvillk, Ga., August 1. The most
vital, providential and beautiful trait iu
our humanity is the maternal in
stinct. The love and care which a mother ua3 for
ber ortVpring is the saving grace of child
hood. Without it the little helpl-ss things would
perish in their infancy, and the world htcome
depopulated.
For years and years I have watche 1 these
nuthers watched and wondered and to my
mind there is no greater proof of t 1h love of
God to the human race than the intense, all
absorbing love of a mother for her child.
This love is n X fouuded in any philosophy
that we can understand Whv she loves one
child more than another? Why luve her
own ill-favored, fretful, troublesome off
spring more than the beautiful, affectionate
child of her neighbor There are C!.,0OO,(JU )
people in the United States, and everyone of
them hml a mother I reckon though t' e
scriptures do speak of "nun that is born of
woman." like there might be some other sort
somewhere. Perhaps O-t.UKJ.oco of them had
a mother's love and care during infancy, uud
if that love and care could have Leeii ex
clusive, uninterrupted and unprejudiced by
outside influences w hat a world of &ood peo
ple we would have.
I was luminal big about this the other
night, because about midnight, "wheudee.p
tsleep fal let h upon a u an," but not upon a
woman with an infant child, there was an
alarm up stairs, and iny wife stiuck a match
and hurried up to find" the little grandchild
suffering with the croup. There is nothing
in the world thit comes so suddenly, and
with such a sharp metallic, unnatural crow
iug sound that death seems right at the dcor,
and w hat is to be d.ne must be done quickly
or not at all.
The anxious mother trembles aud piteous
ly begs for help help to 5-ave her child, her
only child; but Mis. Arp his raised ten from
the' cradle to courting time, and they have
all had the croup, a goad deal of cioup, and
it is hard to scare an old soldier: but still she
has a holy horror of this insiduous, night
loving, treacherous disease, and she goes to
fighting it like killing snake. Syrup of ipe
cac is her favorite re .edy, but she uses
warm lard and turpentine, and flax seed, aud
onion juice, and calomel, and Dover's pow
der, and liniment, and warm water, aud lo
belia aul nitrate of silver and some ether
things when necessary, according to circum
stances, and some or them always do the
work and bring lelitf, and 1 has e thought
that if a small portion cf all these remedies
was put iu a bottle and well shaken before
taken, it would cure most any infirmity that
flesh is heir to.
We were talking about the alarm we had
the other night and 1 remarked that the in
flammation of the mucous membraue of the
larynx was always atte ded with
"It was croup,'' said Mrs. Arp, "the child
had the croup. '
"Of course," said I, "but you know, my
dear, that when the trachea and bronchial
tubes become partially obstructed with false
membranes "
"The child had the croup," said she. "It
was a clear case of old-fsshioned croup."
'Under such circumstances," said I, "it is
essential that the inner cuticle of the larynx
be suffused with absorbents, and the outer
epidermis be subjected to counter irritants
because "
"Syrup of ipecac is better than either,'1
said she, aud so 1 subsided.
'i he next morning after a case of croup,
my wife begins with calomel and quinine to
work oft' the cold, ami she generally pre
vents a return. SShe takes the lead as the
family doctor, and keeps ou hand a pretty
fair drug stora. All that 1 have to do iu
such emergencies ,s to stand around and be
handy, and move with alacrity aud wait on
her, and Are up the stove and bring hot wa
ter, and spill some of it on iny bare feet aud
never flinch. It croup was the only infan
tile trouble our conjugal life would have had
a fair share of felicity, but there has been the
wear and tear and anxiety of teething and
colic and scaria ina and whooping cough and
measles and nmu ps and wounds and bruises
without number, but it's all over at last, for
the crop is laid by. We me ulayiu patri
archs now, and helping these young mothers
when we can. but we have 1 i.-t lots of rest
and our old age is calm and serene. Mrs.
Arp is, Ikuw, for she is tn th go more
than I ever knew her, and hisent any car
riage to go in either, and she is pres. dent of a
missionary society, and takes missionary pa
pers, and takes all my little money, too, and
the tenuis court is right cl jse to the church
where the misMouuries meet, and I never know
where she is exactly, and la.t night he weut
to tha blind man's e uvi t , ami i nad to stay
at home with the young mother and her
child for fear of acvidcui.
That is all right Mrs. Arp she would
stay if I wauted to go. but she duiei.t say it
vry strong, and 1 me kly loid her 1 dident
care to go, to it's all rilit. I wanted th
young mother to go, too, and L ave the el ild
with me, but she looked Misprised and siid:
"No, indeed, 1 woiildrnt leave my child for
all the shows in the w rld."
Aud that's why 1 was i uininating over flu
maternal ins inct, and 1 wisi that it prevail
ed all over the wor.'d, and would keep these
city mothers more at home, instead of goim;
to the theaters and operas un st every night
and leaving their tender tftoring with a
nurse or some poor, tte 1 old mother, ir e
woman has 'io little children, and vuU tc

The Powerful King- Snake.
The king snake is the most powerful
snake in this country, and is the cou
queror of every other species. He wages
a constant war upon rattlesnakes, moc
casins, vipers and all others, and nearly
always swallows his victim. Hecently a
large king snake , says a correspondent
of the Atlanta Court it ut ion was discov
ered making a meal of a coachwhip
much larger and longer thau itself. The
coachwhip was yet alive, but the king
was tied around it and had swallowed
its head and about a foot of its body.
"When the king snake was set at lifcerty
it ran around awhile until it struck the
track of the other and then darted off in
pursuit.
Judge Pittmau was fishing on the
bank of a river and saw a coachwhip
swimming across from the opposite side
It landed and struck out through the
woods. In a little while he saw a king
snake in pursuit, which landed at the
same spot and disappeared in the woods
on the track of its game.
The kin snake grows to great size,
and is as strong as an ox. It is black,
with small white stripes around the body.
Their tenacity of life is marvelous. They
have been known to crawl off after their
heads were mashed into a jelly.

The buffalo of Italy and other parts of
southern Europe is an entirely different
species from the bison (usually but er
roneously called buffalo) of North Amer
ica. Smaller than that aoimal.it is yet lar
ger aud more powerful than our domestic
ox, with large horns which it lays back
upon the shoulders when 'walking or
running, owing to a habit of carrying
the head with the muzzle projecting for
ward. It is a native of the East Indies
and was introduced into Italy in the
sixth century. As it is very hardy in
warm climates and marshy lands, aud
adapted to carrying heavy loads, it is
useful beast of burden, though the flesh
is not as good as that of the ox. The fe
male gives a large quantity of milk of a
very good quality. There is also a buf
falo iu southern Africa which is usually
called a distinct species, and is known
as the Capo buffalo. This has never
been domesticated, but doubtless might
be tamed and used if taken young. It is
very large, standing five and a half feet
high and measuriug eight feet from horns
to root of tail. The horns are large and
lou, and carried iu the same manner as
those of the species spoken of. ihiton

The Lizard s Love of Music.
A contributor to the Spectator writes
with reference to the discussion of ani
mal aesthetics:
"I should like to give you oue of my
own experiences. When in Switzerland
two years ago I made the acquaintance
of some lizards, living in the crevices of
one of the sunny walls of our garden
As I had somewhere heard that lizards
have a good ear for music, I resolved to
prove the fact; so one afternoon, armed
with a small music-box, I wended ray
steps to their tomato-covered home. Be
fore I had finished the first tune a con
siderab'e audience had collected an
audience it was a pleasure to play to,
for the lizards were far more attentive
than humau beings. Out peered head
after head, a little on one side, in a
listening attitude. I gave my little
friends a musical entertainment, varied
by whistling, nearly every day, and le
forc long they got much bolder aud
would venture right out of their holes
and lie motionless "ou the broad ledge of
the wall, their bright black eyes half
clos-d us a rule, but opening now and
then to give me a lazy wink of enjoy-13:.'
