Tliere is no habit more injur
ious than the habit of gossiping;
that is to listen eagerly to the
common report of the day, prying
into the concerns of others, aud
retailing the information from
house to house, with additions
aud embellishments. To com mit a
secret to such persons is to em
ploy a town crier, for they are
sure to publish it to the first in
dividual they meet. This bad aud
dangerous habit chiefly belongs
to those idle males and females
who have no business of their
own to attend to.

mows, when he ciiitiic-d upon the
mammoth pile of hay that reach
ed nearly to the roof. Once up
there he thought he would have
some fun by fa' ring hold of the
patent hoo'cs that are used to
ln.ist hay by means of a block and
tackle. II" swung out into the

never tlrnkh g that the other end
of lh(. (.0 (((nVJ oQ lho ,rouud
wasu't fastened, when he sud

fell fully thirty feet, alighting on
a wagon with his left arm under
him. The arm was broken above

were badly bruised.
Many old and middle aged pet-

can help it. There are others who
g o gum miug it through the world

and unsightly when a set of teeth
to chew their Jood would matce

their looks. These people pay
