LLEWEL‘LYN A. MORRISON. Toronto, February 20, 1892. “Imperfectly as the Christian ideal has approached realization, the forgiving temper has won an established place among the objects of our moral admiration. It is contradicted, indeed by the ‘laws of honor.’ and violated by the jealousy and slanders of private life. But for these so- called laws of honor society has scant respect. Dueling has come under univer- sal condemnation. The man who suffers himself to become a party to a brawl is black-listed socially. The scold who resents abuse with raillery manifests a lack of Self-control that deprives him of respect. To forego resentment is felt to be nobler than to indulge it, that is when forebearance arises not from beneath the insult but above it, not from indifference and pusillanimity, but from confidence in the inherent force of right.”-â€"Christian Inquirer (Baptist.)

Let me tell you, my friends, the worst kind of religion is no religion at all.

He was made Bishop of Durham. and there showed him- self an able adminiscrator and leader of worship.

THE TOBACCO HABIT AND ITS EFFECTS UPON SCHOOL WORK, After making a study Of several hundred boys, running through a period of ten years, I give only Observed facts, and neither assume the CODditions nor jump at fore-ordained conclusions. 1 Boys that begin the habit at an early age are stunted physically, and never arrive at normal budily development, 2 Accompanying the use of the narcotic were certain disordered physical functions, such as indigestion, impaired taste, defec- tive eye sight, dull hearing, nervous affections and diseases of the heart. 1 have not found a single case of early addicting to the habit of tobacco using that (ha not suffer with one or more of these direful abnormal condltlons. 3 Tobacco, used in any form, destrcyed the ability to apply one’s self to study, and prevented his comprehending or remem- bering his lessons. The mental faculties of a boy under the influence of the nar- cotic seem to be in a stupor, and since depraved nerve and power stnltifies and weakens the will power, there is but little use for the teacher ta) seek to arouse the dormant, paralyzed energies, or to interest and foster the famed desire. I have not met a pupil that is addicted to the habit who will go through a. single day’s work and have good lessons. I have never had one whose scholarship record was good, and in almost every case the department was below the average standard. At the regular examinations for promotion, near- ly every one of the tobacco-using: pupils: fail in dome; the most reasonable test work. even if this is not the first time the work has been passed over in class. I have had numbers of cases in which they have remained in the same grade for four sue- cessive years, and then they were not ready to be advanced into the next higher class. H. H. SEER'LEY. Principal of Iowa State Normal School. Actual Casesâ€"1 A high-school boy who had always done excellent Work, was re- ported one term as not getting his lessons. I had a talk with the boy and stated the facts, assuring him that with his past record his peor work was unexplainable, as he insisted he devoted his time faith- fully to his studies. He denied using tobaccoat all His work failed from month to month. and before the ye 1r closed his parents withdrew him from school. His father deeply regretted the failure, adxn.t- ted that a change had come in the boy’s Conduct at home, but as he had heretofore been truthful and faithful, he Could not think that the presupposed cause was the true one. In a few months the habit, thus far secret, became more yronounced and more nuhhc, and it was ah»â€" solutely established by the boy’s own admissions. that. it was begun several months before the trouble noticed at school. and that no one knew it save the salesman that furnished him the supply of Ilill‘Cuth. 2 Four years ago a boy entered one of my pri nary schools as a chart pupil. Be- fore the boy was four years of age he had learned the habit of smoking cigarettes and stubs of cigars. His father taught him the use of narcotics, and considered it sport to see his son to exhibit the habits and tastes cf his elders. During the four years he did not Complete the twenty-four lessons on the ch irt. although he attended regularly. and applied himself as diligently as the average pupil of that grade. He seemed perfectly unable to learn like other children, though he was at the beginning a precocious, promising child. His mental activity was so dull and paralyzed as to render him but little better than an idiot or an imbecile. Experience has shown that the younger the habit. is acquired, the more disastrous the results to the mental- ity oi the child. 3 One boy was a. successful primary pupil. His work and his interest were constantly praised by his teachers. ()n his entering the last half of the third grade, his work began to lag and his interest. to decline. At the examination for promo- tion the case was conditioned, and it was detected that he had begun some months before to use tobacco. His parents were informed, and strenous efl'ects were made by his teacher to get the habit; restrained and corrected. His reform was not se- cured. and though he :unamed five years in the same grade, he was never able to advance on merit, and Several trial pro- motions proved failures. 4 In 0586 where refurm was secured and the habit nvemome, the pupil again return- ed to normal prubvress, and had a. success- ful career as a student Uther ()bscrvations.â€"â€"So far as my obser- vations have ext-ended, not a single boy has passed the examination required for admission to the high school after he had acquired the habit, and not one has grad- unted from the high school who begun the habit after begiumg his course in the high school. If these observations mean anything, they declare that something; ought to be done to save the child-life from the pitfalls that commercial interests are digging, and thatgreed is encouraging; that more should be done than to instruct by oral or text lessons in school; that teachers, parents and philanthropists are not yet sufficiently roused regarding the magnitude of the evil of tobacco-using bv children ; that in the crusade against alcohol we should recognize that other evils, though more quietly, are just as surely sapping the strength and destroying the vigor 0f the youth of this generation. But the moral results are also as serious. Pupils under the influence of the weed are constant. subjects of discipline, are not truthful. practice deception and cannot be depended upon. A change in character in a formerly good boy is a. very strong indication that some habit is getting hold of him whose tyranny must be broken before he will again be clothed and in his right mind. The worst characteristic of the habit is a loss of peisonal self-respect, and of personal regard for the customs and wishes of ladies and gentlemen, especially when among strangers. ‘ Salt and vinegar will clean the mica in stove doors.

MONTREAL- Everything in the furniture line is to be found there, from a twenty- five cent chair to a fifteen hundred dollar bedroom set, and prices to suit everyone. No one need despair; the millionnairc can furnish his house from top to bottom with the finest and most costly, and his junior clerk can fill his little tenement with useful and pretty articles at prices to suit his more limited means.

The celebrated bent wood furni- ture imported from Vienna, Austria, and of which the Messrs. McGar- vey make a specialty, also occupies a prominent position on this floor.
