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.

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. The robins have come, and now we can all have chicken pie—if we can catch the robins, \ x YOL. XXVII No. 11. 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 Free Press. 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.

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.” Is your name on our subscrip list?
