When to Take Exercise.
An audience of about one hundred

lecturer began with a few remarks ex¬
planatory of the waste and renewal ot
muscular tissues nnd of its dependence
upon the amount of exertion, both
physical ami mental, to which the
qyman frame is subjected. The best
result is obtained from exercise when
the body blood is in a slate of perspiration. :i»

The proper object of the pillow level is, nut the
to raise the head above the of

of the head when tho body is on its side.
And this is the natural position, for it
is seldom safe to sleep on tho back.
Hence, the pillow should the he needed con¬

This is more than

THE LOST CHILD.
A FATE WORSF. I HAN ABDUCTION.
How Parent*, by a Lack of Precaution
and f are, are Responsible for
the heath of Their
Children.
(Camden, Me., Herald.)
The moral and legal responsibility of
parents, in the care of then children is,
fortunately,attracting the serious attention
0 f better portion of the entire country,
The many instances of child-beating, op
presion, and other forms of cruelty whicli
have come to light, demand that something
tie done; and it is gratifying to know that
the people are becoming thoroughly arous¬
ed. Whether the cruelty be in the form
of physical violence or physical neglect
matters not—the principle in botli
cases is the same. The man or woman who
neglects his or her own health may be par¬
doned, as the consequences fall upon the
individual alone; but, the parent or guard¬
ian who permits the inroads of disease
upon the innocent ones dependent upon
him for protection, is criminally liable
in the sight of God, however he may
appear in the eyes of men. There arc,
however, parents that intend to care for
their children, but who, through careless¬
ness or the urgency of other duties, permit
them to become Ihe innocent victims of
disease. Buch parents may be guileless of
intentional wrong, but the disastrous
results upon their children are just as
great. These truths which must be
are manifest
to every worthy parent and especially in a
vicinity where the unknown effects of the
atmosphefe, the water and the general ten¬
dency to malaria are so great. There are
many families in this locality who have
been called upon to mourn untimely losses,
even when the greatest care was exercised;
hut the experience of one only will tie
given : It is that of the iate W. 0. Thomas.
Thechildren were all most p.omising, but
for some unexplained reason their health

feared they were
the v ctims of consumption. One by
one they sickened and died lin
til three had departed and two of the
surviving brothers were also taken ili.
Their names were Hermon and ft-i ward.
Hermon, however, seemed the stronger of
the two; and while his younger brother
was confined to the house constantly, and
to his bed much of the time, Hermon was
able to be about but in so weak a condition
that he had no desire to play. Eddie’s
symptoms Were terrible! He found diffi¬
culty in retaining and food upon his stomach,
was restless irritable, ami out of his
head frequently. At various times three
different told physicians his visited him; and each
one friends he could not
live. He finally got so low that death
was only considered a matter of a few
days. At that critical time his elder broth¬
ers, aroused almost to the pitch of desper¬
ation by the deaths that had so recently
occurred, and the other one staring them
in the face, resolved to take the case into
their own hands. They accordingly did so,
and secured a remedy that was being ii ni
versally used, and began giving it to him.
Its effect at firat was slight, but any im¬ 1
provemen t was considered a good symptom.
By degrees his strength returned: he was
able to eat with a relish, then walk about
the house; and finally he regained com- ,
plete health and strength. The boy was
so rejoiced over his recovery that,
accompanied by the editor of
this paper, he went before Justice
Charles K. Miller and made oath to the
fuels of his sickness as above related, and
that he was restore 1 to perfect health by

Some _ of the most important Invention* The
have been the work of mere boys. the
invention of the valve motion to
steam engine was made by a mere boy.
Watts left the engine m a very incom
plete condition, from the fact that he had
HO way to open or close the valves, ex
cept by means of leavers operated by the
hand. He set up a large engine atone
of the mines, and a boy was hired to
work these valve levers; although this
was not hard work, yet it required his
constant attention. As he was wording
these levers, he saw that parts of
the engine moved in the right that di
rection, and at the exact time
he had to open or close the valves.
He procured a strong cord and made one
end fast to the proper part of the engine,
and the other end to the valve lever; the
boy had the satisfaction of seeing the en
grne cine move move off on with villi peneet perfect regularity rcgumiiLj of ui
motion. A short time after the foreman
came around and saw the boy playing
marbles at the door. Looking at the en
gilie ho soon saw the ingenuity of the
boy, and also the advantages of SO great
an'invention. Mr. Watts' then carried
out the boy’s inventive genius in aprac
tical form, and made the steam engine a
automatic machine.
The power-loom is the invention of a
farmer boy who had never seen or heard
of such a' thing. He whittled one out
with his jack-knife, and after he had got
it all done, he, with great enthusiasm,
showed it to his father,' who at once
kicked it pieces, saying he would have
no boy about him that would spend his
time on such foolish things. The boy
was delighted at the idea of learning a
trade, and he soon found that lively his inter¬ new
master was kind and took a
est in him. He had made a loom of what
was left of one liis father had broken up,
which he showed to his master. The
blacksmith saw he had no common boy
as an apprentice, and that the invention
was a very valuable one. Ho imme¬
diately had a loom constructed under the
supervision of the boy; it worked to their
perfect satisfaction, and the blacksmith
furnished the means to manufacture the
looms, the boy to receive one-lialf the
profits. In about a year the blacksmith
wrote to the boy’s father that he should
bring with him a wealthy gentleman who
was the inventor of the celebrated power
loom. You may Iks able to judge of the
astonishment at the old home when his
son was presented toliim as the inventor,
who told him that his loom was the same
as the model that he had kicked to pieces
but a year before.— Western Trade.
Tree Planting.
Economy has led to tree planting and on
an extensive scale in the far North
Northwest. Belts of timber are taking
the places of pine fences along the ex¬
posed portions of the railroads where
some barrier must of necessity be main¬
tained against snow drifts. The fences
that have been relied upon have to be
eight feet high, and, besides costing $800
a mile, need constant attention and re
pair. Furthermore, the farmers carry
off the boards,and the stoutest oak posts
snap like pipe stems in a thoroughgoing the
prairie gale. Trees answer all re¬
quirements much better. The white
willow, which grows to a height of
twelve feet in four days, has been found
to be the cheapest and the best, though
the box elder, cottonwood and green ash
will serve. The soil must be prepared prairie
by harrowing, however, and the
soil is often so poor ns to require two said or
three years’ work. Even then it is
that it is cheaper to use live fences than
dead ones. These tree fences are con¬
structed by planting two parallel lines
of trees on the side of the tracks expos¬
ed to the strongest winds and one line
on the other side. — N. I r . Sun.
s»***-»>»w-**-w* — A Hartford physician who has just
