For when we are young we have the voice, but not the art; and when we are old we have the art, but not the voice.” So with our better selves. Just as we begin to know the precious secrets of life we lose interest in them here but awaken to a higher life hereafter. seen; Mine eyes behold the King!

If you do it will make you a. slave and expose you to great temptations, Business men borrow money and trust persons who buy goods of them, but all careful business men get security when they can, and only trust those that they believe will pay them, while money is coming in all the time from what they sell for cash and by the payment of the debts ‘which are owed to them. When men fail it is often because they have loaned money or sold goods on promise to pay to the wrong persons. Others have been tempted to steal or to run away. Don’t run in debt. Deny yourself and save until you can buy what you think you must have. Remember how easy 1t is to do without a. great many things. One boy found he had spent thirteen dollars for soda. water in the summer, and he was then in debt eleven dollars. He said to himself, ‘What a fool I was to tie myself up in knots like this for a lot uf froth.’ Did you ever read Benjamin Franklin’s story, ‘I paid too dear for the whistle?” The one who runs in debt is a greater fool than the one who merely spends his money. the Watchman.

Yet Christianity teaches us that length of days is promised to the well- doer. It may be claimed to a certain ex- tenttliat the gradual lengthening of human life is among the achievements of modern civilizations. It is suggested that 2. via- orous old age may be in a considerable de- gree dependent upon perSonal conduct, and some able authorities advise that parents give their children a start, in the most favorable conditions by protecting them from mental shocks and unnecessary griefs, and making their surroundings as happy as possible. The persons them- selves, when older, should amid grief, and eschew hate, jealously. and intemperance, all of which has ten the coming;r of old age. When old age has really begun its pro- gress may be reduced to a mininum by securing the least friction and waste. Rules for this include subsistence on a moderate quantity of light but nutritious food varying according to the season; dressing warmly, but lightly, to preserve an even temperature; keeping the body in fair exercise and the mind active and cheerful; maintaining an interest in the world‘s affairs, and taking a reasonable share in its labors and pleasures : securing plenty of sleep at proper hours in a corn- fertable room, and avoiding,r excitement and luxury. The best was of living is to lean upon God and trust to his goodness. Hast thou a care within so deep It chases from thine eyelids sleep? To thy Redeemer take thy care, And change anxiety to prayer. Home Manufacture of Copper Carbon ate. As the precipitated form of carbonate of of copper IS not always obtain- able from druggists, directions are here- with appended for the ezsy preparation of this material at a cost much less than the wholesal price. Ina vessel capable of holding,' two or three gallons, disolve 1% pounds of copper sulphate (blue vitriol) 2 quarts of hot water. This will be entirely dissolved in fifteen or twenty minutes, using the crystalline form. In another vessel disolve 12 pound of sal soda (washing soda) also in 2 quarts of hot water. When completely dissolved pour the second solution into the first, stirring briskly. When efl'ervescence has ceased fill the vessel With water and stir thoroughly; then allow it to stand five or six hours, when the sediment will have settled tothe bottom. Pour Ofl‘the clearliquid without disturbing the precipitate, fill with water again and stir as before ; then allow it to stand until the sediment has settled again. which will take place in a few hours. Pour the clear liquid ofl' carefully as before. and the residue is mrlmnutc of comm. Usmg the above quantities of copper sulphate and Sal soda, there will be formed 12 ounce of copper carbonate. Instead of drying this, which is at operation, add four quarts of strong ammonia, stirring in well, then add suffi- cient water to bring the whole quantity up tn 6 quarts. This can be kept in an ordinary two gallon stone jar which should be closely corked. Each quart will contnn 2 ounces of the carbonate of Copper, which when added to 25 gallons of water, will furnish a solution for spraying, of the same strength and character as that obtained, by the use of the dried carbonate, and one which can be prepared with little labor, and kept, ready for use throughout the season. CARBONATE OF COPPER IN SUP INSION. \Vhen the carbonate is to be used in supersion, Instead of adding the ammonia to the sediment, add water until the whole quantity is made up to 6 quarts Stir this thoroughly until the sediment is complete- ly suspended (entirely mixed throughout) and pour the thick liquid into a. suitable jar. when it will be ready for use. -e _ Befure using shake; the contents thoroughly, S!) that all the sediment may be evenly distributed in the water. Pour out a quart of the thick fluid and mix with 25 gallons of water.

REMEDY FOR APPLE SCAB An Unnatural Father. JOHN CRAIG. Horticulturist Experimental Farms. Living for Old Age. FORM ULA THE W ATfiHMAN, LINDSAY, THURSDAY, MAY 12, I892. A royal duke once announced his father’s intention of either drafting the 79th Highlanders, or sending them, to the West: Indies; whereat Colonel Cameron retorted, “You may tell the King, your father, from me, that he may send-us to ” (a. hotter cllnlate than even the West Indies) “if he likes and I will go at: the head of them, but he daurna draft us.” This choleric gentleman was a person of some taste, as is proved by his settmg his mother to design a special tartan for his regiment, because the red of the proper Cameron tart-an clashed with a scarlet tunic. Few curious legends are connected with the 913t Highlanders, but. they possess an interesting relic in the sergeant-major’s walking-stick. This was made from the sword of a swordfish, which attacked the regimenfifi'transport on itszay from the Cape in 1802, On the eight plates of gold round the stick are engraved the names of those battles in the Peninsula through which it was carried. ’ THE 921). The 92d Gordon Hiuhianders are a. dis- tinuuished regimet t. They held the pass of May a in 1813, when their ‘stern valour would haxe graced Thermopylze.” Sir “711113.111 Stewart orde1ed Colonel Winchester to retire. He answ,ered “Say, if I retire, what 13 to become of the 50thy ’2" At Quatre Blas, when the French infantry pressed heavily en the British line, Wellinoton said “9211, you must charue these felloxxs.’ ’ When the Scots Greys made thei1 great 011.11” at Vi aterloo shouting “Scotland for ev er?" it was the 92d who charaed with them, and, as Sir Dennis Pack testified, they “saved the day.” The 92d is the only infantry regiment entitled to bear “Balaclava” on its colour. During that action, when the Turks had run away, Sir Colin Campbell rode down the line of the 93d, before they began to tire, and saidâ€"“There is no retreat from here, men! You must die where you stand I_" To which they answeredâ€"“ Ay, l ay, Sir Collin, and needs be, we’ll do‘ that." They kept their word. “The gallant and splendid 93d,” as the Queen calls them in a letter to bird Canning, were sent out to India at the time of the Mutiny. At Khudjwa smne wounded “R. 1’s” and 93d Highlanders, none of them able to stand, routed a body of Sepoys. In the last siege of Lucknow their pipe-major was one of the first to force his way in, through a breach, and once inside, encouraged the men by play- ing all the time, regardless of the shot that fell around him, to the dismay of the Sepoys, who probably thought him insane. THE QUEEN AND HARD TARTA‘N KILTS. In 1867 this regiment. was inspected by the Queen at a few minutes lnotice. l She examined their dress. and hearing: ‘ from the men that the sharp edges of the hard tartan scratched and cut their knees on a loner march, ordered that Soft tartan should henceforth be supplied to all High- land regiments. FOUR HleHLAND REGIMENTS The minimal 93d revimental colour has long been” missing although its companion the “Kim" s’ ’colour, has been framed and carefully preseiv ed. There Is a story that Lieut.-Colonel Dale, mortally wounded before New (Mama at. the beginning of the century, made it his dying request that he might be laid in the grave wrapped in one of the colours. All medical men teach that the best way of impruving the skin is to improve the health generally by temperate living and moderate exercise. Teach‘selfâ€"denial, and make its practice pleasurable, and you create for the world a. destiny more sublime than ever issued from the brain of the wildest dremnerr. It is best to bathe just before going to bed. as any danger of catching cold is thus avoided, and the complexion is improved by keeping Warm for several hours after leaving the bath. Stimulants should never be given in any form of bleeding, even though the patient should faint. unless the cause of the bleed- ing is removed, as alcohol will only make the heart beat faster, and cause more blood to flow from the wound. Salt, heated dry and applied to the outer surface over the seat of inflammation or congestion, will give almost instant relief, while application of a strong hot solution of salt in water or vinegar acts like magic upon toothache, eat-ache, neu 'algic head- ache, and all that brood of distressing ills.

Drunkenness may bring on epilepsy, or falling-sickness, and may excite it into action in those who have the disease from other causes. Many persons connot get slightly intoxicated without having an epileptic or other convulsive attack. These fits generally arise in the early stages, before drunkenness has got to a. height. If they do not occur early the individual will probably escape them altogether for a time. At half-past three o’clock Thursday morning the debate on Mr. Edgar’s motion that his charges against Sir Adolphe Caron be referred to the committee on privileges and elections, was brought to a .close; when Mr. Howell’s ame‘hdmenf. to the effect that. the new pharges! be referred to a c mxmssion, consisting of one judge or more than one judge m the discretion of the house, was carrieo by 125 to 62 votes.

A tailor was asked by a miserly old woman to came on a certain day to her house to make down some old clothes. The old dame set his breadfast on the table before him at eight o’clock. With avaricious eyes she keenly watched every bite she took. When eating a piece of bread the tailor nearly choked himself, and exclaimed.
