Worth Remembering.
It is the penny saved more than ihe penny earned that enriches; it is the sheet turned when the first thread breaks that wears the longest; it is the damper closed when the cooking is done that stops the dollars dropping in the coal bin; it isthe lamp or gas burn- ing low, when not in use, that gives you pin money for the month ; it is the care in making the coffee that makes three spoonfuls go as far asa tea cup ordinarily ; it is the walking one or six blocks instead of taking a cab or omni- bus, that adds strength to your body and money to your purse; it is the careful mending of each week’s wash that gives ease to your conscience and length to the days of your garments ; and, last of all, it is the constant care exercised over every part of your household, and constant endeavors to improve and apply your best powers to your work that give peace and prosper ity to the family.
— ee Politeness in Children.
Do you permit Susie or Jennie, un- reproved, to tease or annoy Bridget in the kitchen. Never let them allude to her as the “servant girl,” or speak of “servant girls” in her presence. The phrase may define her position, but she does not like to hear it, and it takes off the bloom of their refinement every time they use it. Do not pick up your own thimble which has rolled away when Charlie is in the room. Let him bring it to you, and say “Thank you” to him for the kindness. Do not en- courage in yourself the habit of criti- cisingfand commenting on the foibles and faults of any member of your own fumily. There is nothing gained by it anda great deal is lost. Love itself is often choked back and hindered in its growth by the rank sturdiness of the weeds which spring up against it, in houses where people say all manner of ungentle speeches to each other. If you want to cultivate real happiness, cultivate goodness, Think more of others’ excellent qualities than of their failings, and be gentle and amiable to ll._—Christian at Work.

Home Contrivances.
Is there a vacant or bare-looking cor- ner in your back drawing-room, or break- fast room? Think what a nice ottoman can be easily contrived to fill it up—one of those empty square trunks in the box- room, a few yards of grey wadding,which costs about 14d a yard, and a few yards of chintz or cretonne. Have a small, neat pattern with a clear ground. Con- trive your cover to fit well—that is the main point; don’t let it be too short, or too long, or too wide, or too narrow, nor have one side full and the other skimpy. Above all, have the corners exact, and get the sides to hang evenly and grace- fully; place it cornerways; place all fur- niture—couches, easy-chairs, tables—at some apgle—a correct one to to the eye, if you can and the result will be surpris- ing. We have seen pretty, tasteful, modern furniture look stiff and old-fash- ioned from being arranged in lines, and a well-worn old suit look effective and charming from artistic arrangement and a few cleverly contrived aids in the way of cushions, covers, and padding.
Having transformed an unsightly box into a pretty and useful article of furni- ture, we may, in houses where such con- trivances are pot needed or permitted in the drawing-room, with greater advantage transfer it to the bedroom where a pretty seat in a window, or by the fire, is not only a great comfort, but a box in the disguise of an ottoman relieves overcrowd- ed drawers and wardrobes, so adding to comfort and orderliness; and here we may say that without orderliness there can be no real comfort; without comfort, hardly can we hope to maintain perfect health; and without health there is no happiness.
Book-shelves for the bedroom may be easily contrived from the boards of old boxes, which in some mysterious way ac- cumulate about a house. Three pieces should be selected, of three sizes; care- fully paper them; and when theroughly dry, have a hole bored in each corner about half an inch from the edge ; get a few yards of green or red window-eord, puts it through the holes of the largest shelf, then place four firm khots on the

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.
There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has Deen caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the Instant one ia applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribo them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- tera and liniments, and they have failed, and 3 want a certain cure, ask your druggist for
R. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You ean hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and ethane poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and qne plaster wil] sell hundreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPSI- CUM POROUS PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,

four ends at equal distances, then draw the ends through the holes of the second- | sized shelf, and so with the third; then fasten all four ends firmly together, leav- ing the two front ones a little longer than those meant to be next the wall. Wheo the shelves are firmly and evenly hung up, get a few yards of ornamental leather, and tack it round the ends and front of the shelves. It hides the edges of the beard and the knots on the cord, and, most important of all, keeps the dust from the books.—Casseli’s Magazine.
