The Progressive Farmer, February 18, 1C02 I -Ah tetian Life Column. THE AIHIBAL'S BIBLE. tjpto the time of the Battle of g4ntig the battle-ship Texas had icffcre-1 pnoh a series of misfortunes ftt tiie sailers declared her to have been "hoodooed " Her honorable gvre in that battle quite redeemed ter from that nautioal superstition. Anions the ( flicers of the navy, ccn0 eniprprd from the war -with in with brighter lanrels than the cJmnvitulor of the Texas, Captain, after vara Kear Admiral, "Jack No one incident in the war cicifl d-oi ly touched the hearts of the .rian people than hi cour se !-nd humanity in that battle. His cce nn(i reverent confession of faith in God in the moment of vio rr, and hi calm words that step pe tbo ch"r on the lips of his eager cea, ,n cneer boys, the poor fellows ivo dying,' met with instant j.isiintion as the honest expression cf a brave, reverent, manly soal. Admiral Philip did not live long 4fter the war. After his death his Bible pished into the hands of others, ,54 its well-thumbed and heavily ssderscored pages revealed in part 9 secret of his power. Of this treasured book, Rev. Mll tca Merle Smith eays: "I have never ie?a a B.f.ue more marked and tombed than his. The portions ocst marked are the fourteenth chapter of John and the eighth chap ier of Romans. In the former chapter every verse except three is marked. "It was Admiral Philip's custom to note on the margin the dates when he began eitt er the Old or the New Testis.ent m his readings by course, twelve dittos noted when he to re.-.d the Old Testament, tz thirty four when he began to reilthe NV-.v.

Stanton, in Collier's Weekly. SOME BOYS I'VE SEEN. One boy I have seen I would not recommend for any position what ever He is bright and energetic, he has winning manners, but he is dishonest. What does he do? He cheats in little, mean ways and thinks it's smart. He writes a note on the corner of a newspaper and mails it at newspaper rates ; he holds his rail road trip ticket in such a way that when the conductor punches it the boy gets threo rides where ho should have bat two, and then he boasts of "getting the better" of the railroad ; he borrowed a poncil when he en tered an office on trial, and the pen cil went away in his pocket. Ho has no keen sense of honor, he has lost his self-re.-pect, and woreo still, he does not know it. I saw a small boy stealing a ride on the back of a street car. "Not muoh harm in that?" Well, it is cheating, that's all. "John," said a lady in tho offi?e where John was employed, udon't you live near the corner of Ffth st root and West avenue?" Yes, ho did. "Then will you take this parcel around there cn your way homo?" John did not quite dare to say "No," but ho grumbled out after tho lady had turned away, ' -There's no mocey in working overtime." He nover knew thut one listener right have recommended him for a totter position, nor that his surly remark lodfc him the chance. "What ho wants," two men were talking of a third, "is a truck that will corue righs up to the j )b and load itself." Tom was that kind of a boy. Ho would do his work yes, but in a grudging sort of a way, and nover in the way ho was told to do it if he could possibly devise another. Unless constantly called to order, ho would tip back his chair, in his leiuro moments, put his feot cn top of tho table and drum with his fin gors. Tom lost his place after a very short trial, and so will every boy who takes no pains to do as heia told or to bo courtaou. Alice 21. Guern eey, in Tho American Boy. BADGES OF H0H02. SoTsocne has paid that a boy is wolldre?.i td when his collar is clean and his sh:e3 are blacked. Thit ought to comfort some of you lads who have been looking forward with a littlo dread to tho opening of school. For though most boys have better things to think of than the clothes they wear, still it is not pheasant to have patches on your knees and elbows, when the boys who sit next you are resplendent in brand-re w suits. Yet there aro times when patches ar:? budges of honor, while tho new suits aro like disgraceful uniforms. Wo have known boys to threaten to "stay out of school" unless they could bs dressed ''a3 well as the other boys," when perhaps the father and mother were well-nigh sinking beneath financial burdens. A boy shows a weakness not only of head, but of heart, when he de cides that he would "rather leave school" than wear a shabby coat, when his father and mother are making sacrifices for him. Exchange. Woman's Work. FASHION. This Fashion's a whimsical sort of a sprite; Her ways, I confess, are too much for me, quite Tiavinia, sixty years ago, Was dressed in the height of the, style, you know, The pride of her fond relations ; Yet Mabel smiles at the quaint little miss, With her frock like that, and her shoes like this, As some one at Mabel will smile, I wis, When the dress that to day she is proud to wear Belongs with the hoop and the powdered hair And the patches of past genera tions I But this is the question that puzzles mo ; The rose's frock is the same, I see, With tho trimming of dew upon it, That roses wore in Lavinia's day ; And the tulip's petticoat, striped and gay, Is made in the same old-fashioned way ; And never a change, for a hundred years, In the out of the marigold's gown ap pears, Or the shape of the sweet pea's bonnet ! Yet nobody says that the flowers look queer. Pray can you explain to me why, my deart Margaret Johnson, in February St. Nicholas. How many women drink enough water? Very few indeed ; and no wonder they have dried up, wrinkled faces and figures ! And yet every woman can have a water cure at home. The first thing after rising in the morning tho teeth should ba brushed and one or two glassfuls of water drunk. If the liver needs stimulating, the water should be hot and a little salt added Drink frequently between meals, but never while eating. Folly a pint of water should be taken be fore breakfast and on retiring. Maude C. Murray-Miller, in Woman's Homo Companion. THE NEW LOOSE-FITTING FEONTS, IN JACKETS, WAISTS, ETC. In consequence of the contour given the figure by the low-bust, straight-front corset, and the bouf fant effect of shirt waists and bedices at the front, tho fit of coats, jackets and outer garments generally, of the present season, is looser than hereto fore. The general principle of this easy fit over the front is similar to that of the present style overcoat for men. The satisfactory results ex perienced in wearing a garment of this cut are supassei only by the feeling of comfort in knowing that a handsome bodioo or shirt waist will not be crushed and deprived of its original freshness after being worn only once or twice under a garment cut on lines heretofore fashionable. A special article in The Delineator, for March, makes plain the steps by which this new fit is accomplished. HOW A WOMAN SUCCEEDED WITH GEBANIUMS. I have better success with gera niums than with any other flower. In July or August I plant cuttings for winter blooming, using four or six-inch pots, tin cms or anything, filled with a mixture of well rotted stable manure, leaf mold and garden soil. I put one cutting in the pot in whim it is to stay and do not trans plant. When five cr six inches high, I pinoh out the top and pinch tho ends again later on, until I have a bushy plant. Keep all buds pinohed off until November, and then the plants will bo full of luxuriant blooms all winter. I have no pit or greenhouse, but keep my plants in tho south and west windows all over tho house. In very cold weather I pin a newspaper around eaoh plant, and have never had any frozen, even in our coldest winters. In the spring I put these geraniums in beds in the yard cr in larger pots on the porches where they grow very large and bloom profusely, but they are not good for houso plants the following winter. I rarely ever keep a gera nium more than two years. Mrs. LeRoy R. Whitener, North Carolina, in Home and Flowers. THE EVERY-DAY CHILD. The mother aims at perfection for her child without realizing what per fection in a child should be. Too often the fond parent feels that the dress makes the child, and conse quently adorns it in the latest and showiest fashion without realizing that harm instead of good is done, to the child by hampering its actions or making it over conscious. The every-day child will revel in dirt. It accumulates it by satisfying its curi osity, for its hands are into every thing as well as its feet and knees and clothes. He must get nearer to Mother Eirth. His instinot is unerr ing in this respect, and his good nurse repays him a thousand fold. Dr. Grace Peokham Murray, in the February Delineator, says mothers should encourage the mud pie mak mg and sand digging, and the dress and olothing should be such that the child would not be reproved for muddy shoes, soiled and torn dresses. EECKLESS DEUG-TAKING. A physician, who knew what he intended to say and was not accus tomed to speak rashly, once ex pressed his conviction that the aver age life of mankind would be pro longed, and the sum of human misery lessened, if every drug in existence could be destroyed and none ever again made. He was a practising physician, pre scribing drugs daily in his treatment of disease and believing in their eflioaoy. What he meant was that more harm was done by the oommon practice of flying to the medicine chest or the apothecary's shop for every little ailment, and by the en slaving opium, ohloral and other "habits" so induced, than oould be counteracted by the good effected in the legitimate use of remedies by properly educated physicians. And truly he had much to justify him in this gloomy view. An American physician who has endeavored to investigate the use of narcotics in his State has published some startling figures as to the oon sumption of opium. If his results can be relied upon there is in this country an appalling number of slaves to the opium habit, most of whom doubtless began by the taking of an occasional dose on their own responsibility to relieve pain or in duce sleep. But all the harm of self drugging is not in the formation of those "habits." Many, who have never taken a dose of narcoti3 medioine knowingly, nevertheless seldom let a day pass without swallowing some thing which they think, or have been told, i3 2d for kidney disease or gout or rheumatism or dyspepsia or biliousness, or some other ailment whioh they think, or have been told, they are suffering from. They may or may not have guessed the oause of their bad feelings, but the chances are ten to one that the drugs they take so reoklessly will do no good, if they do not do aotual harm. Drugs are poisons, whioh cannot but work evil upon the system if taken in a haphazird fashion by those ignorant of their action on the delicate maohinery of the living body. Laxatives and liver remedies, nervines and tonio3, quinine and iron, all are useful life saving at the proper time and in the proper dose ; but taken in the quantities that they are, in season and out of season, for some reason or no reason, they are pernicious destroyers of health.
