Strain the juice of both and grate the rind of one, which strain with the juice. Beat all together, and bake quickly in a rich under-crust. The two re- maining whites may be used with four desv sort uls of powdered anger, the t rind of one lemon to make a meringue or the top. l’JJAnT Carcass are a delicacy, if the chickens are of good quality.

B the completion last month of the relf from Town to the Ssuth Affirm. diamond mines at Kimberley, steam car- liave supplanted the tiresome sages ani greet ox wagon of the Dutch and Britisl traders for about 700 miles along the dirch route toward the Zembesi. The advent of the locomotive into the very region when Horns-r and LlVlSGS‘l’OKI lived benighted seveges is not only an evidence of the substantial butalsc illustrates the impulse that is now moving civilized nations to penetute no fields of commerce with railroads. Theeeenterprises seem to be justified bv similar ventures already completed. South Africa’s 1,562 miles of lines, all owned by Cape Colony, paid all workin expenses and maintenance during the first months thls year, and three fend s haiffer cent, to apply on the interest account. he British Bur- mah railroads returned six per cent. dlvi (lends last year, and have paid good inter- est since the day they were opened. Gen. Strschey, the greatest authority on Indian railroads, estimates that the benefits acorn» ing fromher railways to Indie amount to over £30,000,000 per ennnm. It is found also that immense and promis- ing regions will continue to be isolated until the are tapped by railroads. )ir. Holt H ett has shown that the cost of; caravan traffic in Indo-Chine is from fif to one hun- drodtlmesssmucb'as by rel . The Glasgow Chamber of Commerce has declar- ed that railroads are indispensable to econ new markets for British commerce in Bar- meh, Siam. and western Chine. Gen. Gor- don wrote in 1882: “ A belt of arid send of 280 miles separates the Egyptian Soudan from ovllintion, and till this is spanned no real progress can be made. The route from Sunkim to Berber is the natural route to be opened. When that railway is completed an entire change will mks place in the whole of this country." What Gordon said of the Soudan the International Association now says oi the Congoâ€"that the populous and fertile up-river regions will not be worth a nny to commerce until the worthless dis- trict cf the lower river is spanned by rail. The fact also that railroads are needed to further the political purposes of some great nations is giving a remarkable impulse to certain ler e enterprises. Had Khartoum been place within easy reach of Europe by the completion of Ismail‘s railroad from Wady Haifa past the Nile cataracts, Eng- land would heve been spared the waste ‘of treasure and blood that her failure in the Soudan involved. No fresh war cloud be. tween En land and Russia on the Afghan borderw catch them with railroads pro~ jocted but unbnllt. England’s Iiron route from the Arabian Sea to Afghanistan has this month reached the Quette plateau through the Boleu Pass. The work on Ron- sia's transcespisn road is advancln day and night. It is now approaching erv, and Russia expects to carry it on to Bokhara and Tashkend. For the purpose of giving facilities to her troops, England leased the money to Cape Colony with which the rail- road to Kimberley has just been completed. From all corners of the world we are hear- ing of railroads projected, surveyed, or in course of building. In Venezuela, for in- stance, eight or nine difi'erent lines of greater or less extent are under contract, surveys are in progress, grading and track layfn are considerably advanced on two lines, an are soon to commence on others. Portugal has granted a concession for a railroad from Delagoa Bay in East Africa to the Transvaal border to connect with the Transvaal lrall~ road which it is reported will be built by German capital. The more progressive among the Boers say they must have rall- rocd connection with the sea. To ils rail- roads is largely due to fact that South Af- rica now stands tenth on the list of the chief foreign nations dealing with England. It is in the Oriental world, however, that new railroad schemes are most rapidly ed- vancing. The King of Siam is eager to con- nect his capital with the Chinese frontier by rail, and has promised to build this road if the Indian Government will build a road through Burmah to meet the Siamese sys- t m at the frontier. The leading Chambers of,Comrneroe in Great British sent agents to report upon the feasibility of this project, and Messrs. Elliott and Cclquhoun have returned home with enthusiastic endorse- ments of the scheme. In China the power- ful Viceroy, Li Hung Chang, has for some time been urging the need of railroads and telegraphs. His influence, aided :by the support of other able statesmen, has already given to China over 3,000 milesof telegre hs, manned by Chinese operators, and the little nine-mile railroad near Tientsin, and is pav- ing the way for r. ilroed schemes that, it is be ieved, will in the course of time reach a large development in China. The railroad that is to connect the chief towns of Siberia is slowly advancing eastward, and surveys for projected lines are in progress in Asia Minor, the Euphrates valley, and Persia. The development of some of these projects will be the work of many years, and some of them will doubtless utterly fail. Yet it is one of the most significant fight: of the times that these schemis have entered so largely into the purposes and ambitions of the com- mercial world. It may yet be one of the chief glories of this century that it intro- duced on a large scale among the less pro- ve race those inventions and facilities which have assisted Western civilization to outstrip all others. “MWâ€"â€" Give the Boys a Chance. Frank and trustworthy boys carry their bones on their faces, and when such are need for services, or desire any favor, an intelligent person Is not only excusable for putting faith in them, but may confer a great encouragement and benefit by doing so. A gentleman of wealth and high official posi- tion says : Somewhat more than fifty years ago I was ap inted midahipmen in the navy and sent to sw York. I wee only 14 years old, and being of a delimte make and small stature, did not look more than 11. My previous life had been spent in the country, and I knew nothing of city ways orjbnsiness proceedings. Payr‘izy was the 30th of the month, but I wen some money on the 20th, and passing through Wall street 1 went in s. broker's office and said : " You lend money here, do you not 2" " Yes." “it‘ll want to borrow $20 for ten days," i I did not then understand the quluical manner with which the broker looked at me before replying : “ You shall have it and I won't charge you any interest for It either." He gave me the money and I signed the receipt; and i need not odd, the twenty dol- lars were promptly returned at the expi‘ra tloncften days. I am sorry that I ve forgot the name of the broker.

The same thing occurs with the various parts of the intestinal canal. The mechan- ism by-whlcb the acts of chewing and swal- lowing appear to act as stimulants to the circulation and nervous system, thuszinsuriug the proper coordination between the func- tions of the mouth, the stomach, intestines, and liver has been described. But if the nervous system be exhausted by previous fatigue, or deblilhtcd by illness, the requis- ite oc-ordlnetion may not take place, and indigestion or biliousnrss may be the result How often do we find that the meal taken by a person immediately after a long railway journey disagrees with him, and either causes sickness or diarrhea: or a billous headache l Forty winks after dinner is not always a bad thing; but forty winks be- fore dinner is certainly much better. How often do men who have worked hard all day, with their mental faculties contin- ually on the stretch, go home and have dinner forthwith ! Exhausted as they are, now can they expect to digest properly what they eat? Almost the only saving point is, that many of them live some distance from their laces of business, and have a short time uring the homeward drive to sit still and rest. This is sufficient for some, espec’al- iy for young men; but It is insufficient for elderly men. and they ought to make a point of having a little rest at home before dinner. Some men, unfortunately, are so misguided as to believe that exercise after a hard day’s work will do them good ; and instead of utilizing the little time they have for rest after a day’s labors are over, they walk three or four miles, or take a tricycle- ride of several more, before dinner. The consequence is that, under the combined mental and physical strain, their digestion is impaired and their strength broken down." There is ave truth it these remarks, and they shoul be well laid to heart by those who are compelled to work at high pressure, and thus fail in that due repair of the bodily waste which lies at the root and foundation of all health. But mental emotions and the play of mind my in their turn produce dis- turbance of the body's duties in the way of food-digestion. Here, again, the views ex- pressed teem with a common sense and phil- osophy which commend them to the thorough appreciation of those who find digestion to fail from the nervous influences that chess one another and career over the surface of the mental atmosphere :â€" “Efi'ects, somewhat similar so those of fatigue, may be produced by depressing or disturbin mental emotions, or bodily condi- tions. e know how readily excitement of almost any kind will destroy the appetite in some people, and depressing emotions will do it in a most every case. We not unfro- qucntly hear of iris in whom consumption appears to have can brought on by an un- fortunate love affair. If we accept the view that consumption depends upon the presence of the tubercle-bacillus (or living germ), we mi ht. at first sight, think that there can be 'ttie or no connection between consump. tion and dissapointed love ; but the depres- sing efi'ect of the disappointment will lessen the digestion, impair the nutrition, and ren- der the body more likely to afi‘ord a suitable nldus (or soil) for the bacillus.” From this it would seem to be equally pro- beble that various emotions efl'ect speclil parts of the digestive system. A strong im- pression of disgust may excite vomiting ; com assion is said to produce movements of gas n the small intestine; worry is known to afiect the liver; and Dr. Bruntcn gives some countenance to the popular notion that jaundice may be brcu ht on through a men- tal causejiilustreted, or example, by anxie- ty. The old adage respecting the wisdom of maintaining an easy mind if we would grow fat, has, therefore, a physical basis. It is the surest of inferences that the mind and nervous system which are allowed to remain lucid and unruflisd are most likely to be ound presiding overs body and processes which respectfully live and act in a healthy and normal fashion. If care really kills us, it seems provable that its method of slaughter is largely that of destroying the harmony of those functions on which the proper nutrition of our bodies depends. The foregoing considerations have paved the way for the discussion of the practical question that faces us at the close of the interesting lectures we have been engaged in reviewing. We have seen, in the first place, how very varied are the causes which pro- duce the disordered states collectively known as ‘indigesticn." The whole subject is a complex one, and these papers may have accomplished at least one useful rrsult if our readers have been led to note that each case requires personal study before the exact cause of the digestive disturbance can be traced. There is no greater or more foolish error, against which one ml ht be torn ted to speak in strong terms, an that w 'ch promph the idea that all cases and classes of lndllgesticn are of similar nature and ori- ' . tls this idea which enoonreges that etesteble habit of indiscriminate drug-swal- lowing which chsrecterixes our age. Given an ingenious “pufl'”of any drug or pre er- etlen, and the “great army of msrtyrs' (to indigestion) will fly thereto for relief,â€"only, of course, to experience the trebly bitter disappointment which attends the dashing down of ho of renewed health and re- gained vigor.

We used to talk about it around the camp fires, and think of it on picket until relief aroused us from our reveries. In eboyish my I often fancied that I was on duty, pacing my best, on a green hillside in Ireland, and that the rebel camp fires which flickered in the distance were snrronndedby men who wore England’s cruel red. There was asuilen joy in that boyish dream, as I used to picture my ne- tive vale cf Gisnmaluse guarded by boys in green,with England's union jack flutteringcn one side, and the harp, without the crown, flying over the heads of enermy of ex-Irisb~ American soldiers on the other. The war ended, and the Irish men of ac- tion made "Canada" their cry. I drifted into the Roberts wing, and in June, 1866, found myself scrambling through the cluster- ing vineyards around this Canadian village, rifle in hand, one of thernians who invad- ed the Dominion. From where I write I can see the Ridge road along which we marched while birds warbled in the bushes. whlohfipark like, here hedge the highway, with their closely matted sides, while blos- soms gave a fragrance to the air of this ger- den of the Canadian confederation. Fields of clever, with bursting pods, waved in atohes before the refreshing breeze which blew across the road that day in June, and cattle of a superior breed wander about the rich fields which dotted the country. The large and comfortable homesteeds, the spa- clous barns, the well-kept fences, the exten- sive orchards, the sleek and well-fed cattle, the latest agricultural machines for farming. and the air of comfort, thrift, and neatness which we passed on our way, bore evidence of a people who were well-to-dc. These rural sight's of peace and prosperity might have had a peaceful effect were it not for the union jack which fluttered from the flagstafi' on the Town Hall at Ridgewsy. I could stand at the door of my hotel and see the ledge of limestone, the sloping ridge crowned with wood, and old Bertie Station, which was one of our objective points, and to capture which we formed in open order, like a ladder, and moved forward for such cover as the nature of the ground afforded our long, thin line. There is the old brick house of Farmer Athol behind which I, with some others, took cover, and on which can still be seen the marks of the bullets fired from English rifles. Behind it is the orchard from which our men kept firing at the dark uniforms of Toronto's crack cor , the Queen’s own militia. I am told t at the very loge we used to form a hreastwork across the road are now a part of the out- bcuses. There is the fence behind which the Canadians open fire at our skirmish line. i‘here is where we crowded along the orchard and began threatening their fisnx. Thenâ€"- how well I remenbsr itâ€"comes their bugle call, and soon their scattered lines were forming square into which we poured a iak- ing fire, under which we could see men fell deed and wounded. The Value of Hip-Pockets- The general proctioner is frequently asked by anxious parents: “ that shall I do for my boy ; he is getting so awfully stoop shouldered that I am afraid he will get eon- snmption I will have to get him a brace. What kind would you recommend 2" It requires no extended argument to prove the importance of a. well e ded chest. Apart from the fncalcuble benefits to health, an erect carriage and graceful movements attract the attention of the most humble. It causes them to correct as far as they are able, in their children any ten- dency to awkward stoopfng, or ungainly positions. Apart from the cost and incon- venience of expensive instruments, but few meet the requirements. In many cases bet- ter results may be obtained by attending to a few simple details, within the reach of every one, in the ordinary clothing. The boy's pockets are to him every im- portant part of his dress, and the natural tendency to keep his hands in them. “When not actively engaged, there they are usual- ly found, and if the pockets are pro rly placed, they will inadvertently cause bikes to throw back the shoulders and more or less expand the chest. For instance, the jacket or overcoat should have what is called breast pockets, the opening should be high and as far back as sslhle, parallel with and in the line of the ody, instead of low down and transverse as usually found in the ordinary jscket or overcoat. The pants should' have: whe t arc called “ hip-pockets," and no others. It will then be apparent that, whilst the hands are in the pockets a better if not a perfect, position will be assumed and the boy spared the many admonl .ions to “Keep your hands out of your pockets," and the accompanying box on the ear. w-â€"â€"â€"â€" The well-known pugillst Charles Mitchell attributes much of his success to the fact that he cannot raise a board, or evene moustache.

It is said that a large part of the pop- corn used in the world comes from Bloom- ington, 111., where the farmers' wives and children used to consider it their parqulsite. In 1884 the crop was so large that the price fell to two cents a pound, and then experi- ments were made to use it as a. food rather than a confection. A farmer who fed his cows with popcorn as s they gave more milk than ever before. then made "mush" of it, and found it more palatable and nourishing than the ordinary article. Then the chemists analyzed it and declared it to contain more albuminoids than most of the other cereals ; so popcorn bids fair to become a recognised diet. A singular sort of manure for potato fields has been introduced on e Pomeranian model farm. Hitherto herrings and pets. toes have been known as a palatable dish in family households. The mesa er of the farm in question has hit upon t e idea of blending them from the start by lentlng his seed potatoes with a herring p d in every help, and with so decided a success as to cause him to increase the area thns lsnted from twenty acres last year to sixty n the present one. The expense he calcul- ates st about nine marks per acre, which is cheaper than the cost of any other kind of manure, and amply repays the outlay. Of course it can only be employed near the see coast. The King of ilsvarie keeps carefully out of sight, but oontrives to provide matter for more chroniquu about his private doings than any of the visible monarchs of Europe. King Lud wlg's latest eccentricity is remark- able even for him; he has been photograph- ed. Duringcne of his solitary walks in the Bavarian Alps he encountered an nnaml. able ox, which barred the way and refused to allow his Majesty to pass. For a bovine sulj st to make himself so “pleasantly conspicuous was not to be endured ; where- fore ths King seized a plank which happen- edtobeet bend,and,plscing hfmsslffna position of stuck, as with a bayonet, he ted to charge.
