The Economy f Pln.
Mr. Howells sayswe are all blinded,
we are all weakened, by a false ideal of
self-sacrifice1 Even a cursory glance
at ourselves and those about us con
firms the truth of this statement. In
some way we have so - misinterpreted
the Bible as to believe that pure relig
ion and undefined consists in ignoring
common-sense. We do not dare trust
our own judgment in the crises of sor
row and disaster, and imagine that the
most painful course, by reason of its
very pain, is the one we ought to fol
low. Many of our funeral custom,
through a false idea of what is due the
dead, become barbarous inflictions up
on the living. We are wanting in feel
ing for those whom God has taken, w
believe, if we do not torture ourselves
by every sight and sound calculated to
increase our suffering. It is a remnant
perhaps, of the savage idea that a
LTrave must be heaped with sacrifices.
There is such a thing as a luxury of
woe amounting to dissipation. It is
quite as selfish as any avoidance of
pain and more injurious io others.
Children are dressed in mourning gar
ments, the significance of which they
cannot understand, and depressed by
darkened windows and hysterical out
bursts of grief. Sometimes they grow
to hate the very name of the dead,
whom in their ignorance they hold ac
countable for the dreariuesa of their
lives.
Often entire families have been sac
rificed through a mistaken conception
of the rights of one member. Blood is
thicker than water, the adage runs,
and hence to the black sheep are of
fered up all the fat lings of the flock.
Sentiment says we have no right to
deny the shelter of the home to the
prodigal, no matter how vile and im
penitent he may be. We forget to ask
where the gain lies in allowing the ton
who has wasted his substance in
riotous living to squander the inheri
tance of his brother.
The young girl insists upon giving
up the man she loves and Avho loves
her, in order that he may marry some
one he does not care for. Three lives
are thus ruined instead of a possible
one.
The altars of philanthropy are wet
with the blood of women who have
both gratified and sacrificed themselves
in excessive zeal in behalf of orphan
ages and reformatories. Their own
children are left motherless just at the
time when thej need careful training
most.
In cases of illness there appears to
be an idea that it is quite praiseworthy
for those caring for the invalid to wan
tonly overtax their strength, and so
expose themselves that the logical con
sequence is an increase of suffering all
around.
The question where does our duty to
ourself end, and that to others begin,
is so subtle that it divides the joint
and marrow. To quote Mr. Hp wells
;u:ain: 4,It is the economy of pain that
naturally suggests itself, and which
would insist upon itself if we were not
all perverted by traditions which are
the figments of the shallowest senti
mentality." Helen Jay.
You are too young, no matter what
your age, to lose your hair. Save it
by the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor. It
removes dandruff, prevents baldness,
restores gray and faded hair to its
original color, and makes it soft, glos
sy, and abundant. No toilet is com
plete without it.
Th Dadly Cold Bed.
If trustworthy statistics could be
had of the number of persons who die
every year or become permanently dis
eased from sleeping in damp or cold
beds, they-would probably be aston
ishing and appalling. It is a peril that
constantly besets traveling men, and
if they are wise they will invariably
insist on having their beds aired and
dried, eTen at the risk of causing much
trouble to their landlords. But, ac
cording to Good Housekeeping, it is a
peril that resides also in the home,
and the cold "spare room" has slain its
thousands of hapless guests, and will
go on with its slaughter till people
learn wisdom. Not only the guest;
but the family, often suffers the penal
ty of sleeping in cold rooms and chill
ing tkeir bodies, at a time when they
need all their bodily heat, by getting
between cold sheets. Even in warm
summer weather a cold damp bed will
get in its deadly work. It is a need
less peril, and the neglect to provide
dry rooms and beds has in it the ele
ments of murder and suicide.
There is no despair so absolute a
that which comes with the first mo
ments of our first great sorrow, when
we have not yet known what it is to
have suffered and be healed, to have
despaired and recovered hope.
George Elliott.
A Christian is the highest type of
man. (Youxo.)

Small Attentions.
Les petits soin.s" do much towards
making life pass pleasantly. The
man who help. you on or off with
your wrap, who lower or raises a win
dow for you, who interims his ready
strength between you and a crowd,
who finds a seat for you, and treats
you as though you were a queeu or a
queen's mother, is a man for whom
you entertain a genuine regard. "Tom
H. is a perfect Gibraltar for honesty
and goodnev' remarked a lady of an
acquaintance, 4but he stalks in front
of you into the .dining-room, and
marches out of it before you; he talks
to you with his hat on his: head, and
puffs the cwoke of his cigar into your
face, he calmly takes the best chair in
the room, and leaves you the hardest;
he never knows anything about pay
ing little attentions. He is like a man
who may have a twenty-dollar bill in
his pocket-book, but never by any
chance carries any small change."
Probably, if the trutli were known,
Tom H., and men like him, were not
accustomed in their boyhood either to
receive or to pay small attentions. A
man learns to be graceful and defer
ential, an fait in alTsmall things, gen
tle and kindly, not after he has at
tained to six feet and evening clothes,
but while he is voting and under his
mother's and his father's tutelage.
Old people are apt to resent obtru
sive attention, and to regard with pa
thetic irritability the offered help
which accentuates the fact of their
declining years. None the less, thay
like tactful recognition of their claim
upon the service of their juniors. A
man may safely yield the easy-chair
and the window where the light lin
gers latest to the grandmother who
likes her comfort, and who takes her
knitting or her hewing where she can
see most readily. The strong shoulder
of vouth is meant for the bearing of
burdens, and unless an elderly person
be exceptionally unreasonable, he or
she will not persist in carrying loads
which ought to be borne by thoe
who are able to assume them Har
pers Bazar.
"Perhaps you would not think so,
but a very large proportion of diseases
in New York comes from oarlessness
about catching cold," says Dr. Syrus
Edson. 'lt is such a simple thingand
so common that vfiry few people, un
less it is a case os pneumonia, pay any
attention to a cold. New York is one
of the healthiest places on the Atlantic
Coast and yet there are a great many
cases of catarrh and consumption
which have their origin in this neglect
of the simplest precaution of every day
life. The most sensible advice is,
when you have one get rid of it as
soon as possible. By all means do not
neglect it." Dr. Edson does not tell
you how to cure a cold but we will.
