the reunion, and after some discus¬
sion of the merits and advantages
of the various routes, by comrades,
Mr. A. A. Vernoy, passenger agent
of the Southern railway being pres¬
ent, was invited to address the
camp, in behalf of the Southern
railway, which he proceeded to do
in a very clear and succinct state¬
ment of the inducements offered by
the Southern in the four different
routes it presented for reaching
Dallas, the shortest being 10 hours
less than any other route, and
one night out.
Mr had
retired, there was some further
of the matter, when on
motion of Comrade J. M. Pace, fur¬
ther action was deferred until our
next meeting, which will be on the
first day of April.
On motion, a committee of three

The Cigarette Poison.
We commend the following item
from the Morning News to parents
who permit their boys to make fun¬
nels of their noses for emitting the
poisonous fumes of the deadly cig¬
arette :
< ( The superintendent of public
schools in an Indiana city recently
made some investigations with re¬
spect to the cigarette habit among
the boys under his charge, Of 1,-
300 boys he found that 400 were
addicted to the habit of smoking
cigarettes, and that as a rule the
smokers were at least two years be¬
hind the non-smokers in their
studies. y »
The Illinois Central railway com¬
pany is going to run its trains
hereafter by telephone, It is saic
to be more satisfactory than tbe
telegraph, and that the ’phonescan
be easily attached to the telegraph
wires, and conversations carried
on while messages are being sent
over the wire, This seems 'almost
incredible, but we are not prepared
to dispute it. As Marconi can talk
1 2,000 miles across tbe ocean with¬
out any wire at all, we are prepar¬
ed to believe almost any sort
electric story._
Duluth is a peculiar city, Its
population is about 70,000, yet the
length of the incorporated town
along the lake front is 28 miles. Its
width ranges from one to two miles.

Slight Misunderstanding.
The chance for argument be¬
tween the loquacious barber and a
somewhat impecunious patron re
suited from a very simple remark
which the tonsorial artist intended
to be funny.
“Would you like a shave with¬
out pain ?” he inquired, as he jam¬
med his victim down into the
depths of the newly patented chair.
< ( Why, certainly. I’ll take all
that kind you can give me, J > respon
ded the customer, smilingly to him¬
self.
During the operation the gilt
tongued razor-wielder entertained
his helpless patron with all manner
of small talk about the baseball sit¬
uation, the ripper bills and other
live topics of the day, throwing
out an occasional suggestion as to
the advisibility of a shampoo and
the benefit of hair singering, with
side remarks as to the vir¬
tue of Leithead’s Hair Tonic, and
kindred preparations that are al¬
ways so insinuatingly placed before
the man in the chair.
When he had been shaved, and
dusted by the porter, the wearied
customer started towards the door
without offering to pay. The bar¬
ber, thinking it was a case of ab¬
sent-mindedness, halted him with
11 Oh, Mr. Blank, didn’t you—00—
00 forget something ? * >
‘‘I believe not,” said Mr. Blank,
innocently,
<■ 1 Well, do you mean to charge
that shave ? » »
I ( Why, what are you talking
about? 1 )
responded Blank ; didn’t you ask
me when I sat down if I wanted a
shave without payin’ ? Well, I took
you at your word, and I’m very
much obliged for the favor.
The facetiously-inclined barber
to explain suave trot that " ire he was meant com- a
to admit the shave was on
and as he cashed up a check
the ‘‘head push,” he remarked :
‘‘There are lots of little ‘skin
in this business. This ex¬
puts me in mind of the
who asked how much I would
for shaving one side of his
face.
i ( Five cents,” I replied, unsus¬
pectingly.
« ( Well, I’ll have the outside
shaved,” was the reply, and he got
a shave for half price. »> Detroit

Heat as a Home Remedy.
There is scarcely any simple ail
ment in which heat may not bead
vantageous if used understanding
ly. Bruises and sprains are better
treated by heat than cold. It may
be applied as a local bath or as a
fomentation.
Colic pains in infants are quieted
by the application of dry heat after
the manner of our grandmother,
who knew the value of hot flannels
and the importance of warm feet
and hands. If the heat applied
over the abdomen does not still the
pain, try it on the spine, This ofi¬
ten produces a quieting effect at
once.
An incipient peritonitis or pneu¬
monia may be checked by hot ap¬
plications, accompanied by rest and i
fasting, or, at least, abstinence
from solid food.
For earache or toothache, heat
either moist or dry, will usually
give much comfort.
If the child cannot breathe with
the mouth shut, heat applied over
the nose will be apt to open the na¬
sal passages and give relief.
In headaches, a hot foot and
hand bath are often beneficial. A
hot water bag over the stomach
will promote digestion. Spinal ir¬
ritation and sleeplessness are fre¬
quently relieved and permanently
benefited by applications of beat,
and no way of administering is
more practical than by the fomen
tation.
A knowledge of the value of
heat is of great value to the moth
erof “croupy »* children.—Ex. I

Wisdom by loving.
In the Life and Letters of Phil¬
lip Brooks occurs the following
observations and conclusions of his
mother :
i 1 There is an age when it is not
well to follow or question your boy
too closely. Up to that time you
may carefully instruct and direct
him ; you are his best friend ; he
is never happy unless the story of
the day has been told ; you must
hear about his friends, his school :
all that interests him must be your
interest. Suddenly these confi¬
dences cease ; the affectiouate son
becomes reversed and silent, he
seeks the intimate friendship of
other lads, he goes out, he is averse
to telling where he is going, or
how long he will be gone. He
comes in and goes silently to his
room. All this is a startling change
to the mother ; but it is also her
opportunity to practice wisdom by
loving, and praying for, and abso¬
lutely trusting her son. The faith¬
ful instruction and careful training
during his early years the son will
never forget; that is impossible.
Therefore trust not only your
heavenly Father, but your son.
The period of which I speak ap¬
pears to me to be one in which the
boy dies and the man is born ; his
individualities rises up before him,
and he is dazed and almost over¬
whelmed by his first consciousness
of himself. I have always believ¬
ed that it was then that the Crea¬
tor was speaking with my sons,
and that it was good for their souls
to be left alone with Him, while I,
their mother, stood trembling,
that when the man was developed
from the boy I would have my
sons again, and there would be a
deeper sympathy than ever between
us.”—Ex.
Old Age and Family Likenesses.
Southey, in a letter to Sir Blger
ton Brydges, says : ‘‘Did you ever
observe how remarkably old age
brings out family likeness—which,
having been kept, as it were, in
abeyance while the passions and
business of the world engross the
parties, come forth again in age—
as in infancy—the features settling
into their primary character before
dissolution ? I have seen some af¬
fecting instances of this, a brother
and than whom n0 tw0 p„.
^ - n middle ufc could have
unlike - countenance or
^ n
character> becom wg like as twins
at last. I now see my father s
lineaments in the looking-glass,
where they never used to appear.”
