‘3‘ ”ht; Young women make a big blunder if they do not learn to take care of a home. It is a grevious, social and moral wrong, remarks a thoughtful writer in the Labor Tribune, when girls are brought up help~ less in household life. How often we see a mother busily engaged in domestic duties like a slave, in order that the girl may enjoy every luxury and do nothing; indeed many hardly let their daughters soil their hands. No woman ought to marry who cannot look well to the ways of her house‘ hold. In case she herself may not be required to work. she ought to be able to see whether the work is done in a proper mauner. ‘A woman is out of her element unless she is acqainted to a certain extent wtth sciences of bake-ology, boil-ology, stitch-ology and mend-ology. There never was a greater blunder than to substitute good looks for good qualities. They rea- son why so many men do not make homes for themselves in these days is because they cannot afford it. The women are too much averse to working, and too extrava- gant in all their tastes. We want more] n prawn v; v.......... ___-v, and Surgeons have opened an oflice for medical and surgical attendance, at No. 2303 St. Catherine Street, Montreal. They give free services to all who call upon them before August lst, 1892. and frankly tell you if your case is curabu: or not. All incurable cases are rejected. Special attentlon is haid to every case. Invalids living outside of Montreal should address their letters to MR. JOHN MURRAY, Manager, and enclose two 3 cent stamps for symptom blank and ques- tion sheets. The following verses composed by the late Mrs. Emeline Tooker in 1864, were found by her husband, Mr. S. S. Tooker, of Highland avenue, among the contents of a secretary : The line to Heaven by Christ was made With Heavenly truth the rails are laid ; From earth to Heavcn the line extendsâ€" To life eternal, where it ends. Repentance is the station then Where passengers are taken in; No fee for them is there to pay, For Jesus is himself the way. The Bible then is engineer, Though it points the way to Heaven so If we would feed with as much care spiritually as animals feed physically, then it would be much better. When I was a. boy I used to feed my father’s flock, in the evening I would give them fodder and hay. The next morning when I would go to feed them again I would find that they had eaten out all the good part of the fodder and had eaten out all the good hay, but there were briars and the hard stalks; you can not make them eat that. Do we eat wilh as much discretion? No. And alas! what a sad confession. We pick out all the good hay, tear off all the good leaves and husks from the fodder and throw them away and then try to eat the trims and stalks. That is the way, alas, that many of us read the Bible. We hunt out all the difficult portions, pick out all the good that is in them, throw them away and try to eat what remains. W clear, Through tunnels dark and dreary here It does the way to glory Steer. God’s love the fire, His truth the steam “’hich draws the engine and the train ; All you Who would to glory ride Must come to Christ, in Him abide. The first and second and third class, Repentance, fait h md holiness You must the way to glory gain, ()r you xx ith Christ will never reign. Come, then, poor sinners, now’s the time At any place along the line ; If you repent and turn, from sin, The train will stop and take you in. A father who is habitually silent in his own house may be in many respects a wise man, but he is not wise in his silence. We often see parents, says the National Me- thodist, who are the life of every company which they enter, dull, silent, uninter- esting at home among their children. If they have not mental activity and mental stores sufficient for both. let them first provide for their own household. Ireland exports beef and wheat and lives on pota- toes; and they fare as poorly who reserve their social charms for companions abroad and keep their dullness for home consump- tion. It is better to instruct children and make them happy at home than it is to charm strangers or amuse friends. A silent house is a dull place for young peo~ pleâ€"a place from which they will escape if they can. They will talk or think of being “shut up” there; and the'youth who does not love home is in danger. Make home, then, a cheerful and pleasant spot. Light it up with cheerful, instructive con- versation. Father, mother, talk your best at home. TH E AM ERICAN DOGTORS (x Years-practice is Euro}: “6 Ameâ€"7:20.)

Idleness should be forgiven her. The only dignified life is a. useful life. I knew a young man who was the pride of a father’s home and the joy of a fnother’s heart, says Rev. W. A. Bedell in his new book. The Spiritual Athlete. But he decided to leave his home and go into the city : against his mother’s requests and his father’s protests he decided to go. As he was getting ready his mother brought him his Bible and put it in his trunk. It was a sad day when he left his father’s house and broke his mother’s heart. When he came to the city he immediately went to the place where he expected to be employed. His expectations were realized; he began at at once to work as best he could ; that day was lonesome for him, he seemed lost ; no one cared for him. The next morning he went to his place of business with a. heavy heart. The other clerks noticed it and they say to one another, “Do you see that greenhorn from the country? We will have to take him around and show him the sights.” So they come up to him and say, “Won’t you go out with us to-night and have a good time ? We will show you the city ” “No," said he. “I cannot go ; I mnst find a lodgâ€" ing place and unpack my trunk.” “O pshaw I What is the matter with you? Are you one of those ‘goody goody’fellows? I suppose you read your Bible three times a day ; but you will soon get over that. Come on ! You might as well be broken in now as any time ;you will be broken in sooner or later anyway.” But he said “No ; I do not care to go to-night" "4-30 ;.L UU uUL Utuc cu xv u, “.5...”- That evening he weni out looking for a lodging place ; he soon found one ; he sent to the depot for his trunk ;he took it to his room, began to unpack it, and when he came to his Bible he remember- ed what the clerks at the store had said, and he thought, “I won’t need that.” and he put it down in the bottom of his trunk. There it remained for six months. Mean- while he was getting weak morally. He beganto engagein the unholy conversation of the clerks, to enjoy their Vlle stories and laugh at their evil jokes. He gradu- ally. though perhaps unconsciously, was forsaking his Saviour and taking Sides with Satan. His associates were aware of it and they say to him, “ Do you still read your Bible 2” “ No,” he replied; “I have given that up; there is ncthing in it.” “Well." they say, “ You are ready to go out with us now, are you not ?” “Yes,” said he, I’ll be glad to go." on 2” And in he goes, “straightway as the ox to the slaughter. or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; and he knoweth not that it is for his life.” Oh, the awful work was done I He had purchased a. through ticket on a lightning-express train, on a down-grade, broad gauage to perdition.

When he stood at the door of enchant- ment, debating whether he should go in and then went? No? It was when he fursook his Bible and put it down in the bottom of his trunk. He threw away his pass to heaven and got a through pass to hell.

Come LONDON, Aug. 6.â€"â€"Francis Galton, ER. 8., F.G.S.. chairman of the committee in charge of Kew observatory, has written a letter to the Times relative to a scheme for establishing communication between Mars and the earth. Mr. Galton declares that a beam of sunlight reflected through a. hole one-tenth of an inch square in a plate in front of a mirror would be just as distinct- ly seen as a faint light at a distance of ten miles. The amount of fog and haze which a beam of light would traverse between the earth and Mars, if the latter is high above the horizon, Mr. Galton says could Hard work, mental or physical, rarely ever kills. If a mild amount of physical exercise be taken, and a judicious amount of food be furnished, the bowels kept open in proper manner, the surface protected with proper clothing, and the individual cultivates a philosophical nature and absolutely resolves to permit nething to annoy or fret him,- the chances are that he can do an almost unlimited amount of work for an indefinite length of time, bear- ingr in mind always that When weariness comes he must rest, and not take stimu- lants and work upon false capital.

Parsons, of Cleveland. had a lengthy conference with Secretary of State Foster today in regard to the recent retaliatory act of Congress against Canada. The Secretary stated that the President did not anticipate any trouble to grow out of the attitude of the United States, and that no international complications had yet arisen. On the contrary, there was every reason to believe, Secetary Foster said, that when the matter was properly pre- sented to the Canadian Government it would at once see it in its proper light, and would justify the course taken by this country. Under the treaty of 1871 the American and Canadian canals were to be used indiscriminately by vessels of both countries. On our side there have been no tolls. but Canada has discriminated against vessels carrying cargoes destined for American ports by giving a rebate of 18 cents a ton of the twenty cents charg- ed to all vessels bound for Canadian ports. It was just as well. Secretary Foster thought. to let Canada know that we did not intend to stand any discrimination and that the recent act had had the desir- ed efl'ect. There was little doubt now but that Canada would come to terms. The Bible in the Trunk. The Earth and Mars.

Hon. Mr. Carling, Minister of Agricul- ture, received Monday evening fmm Prof. Saunders the following telegram, which may be taken as an official report of the condition of the crops in Manitoba and the North-west. The despatch, which is dated at Winnipeg, reads: “Crops in Manitoba and the North-West have matur- ed rapidly during the past three weeks. In many places west of Indian Head the yield will be small on account of the drought. About Indian Head and east thereof, also in Manitoba, the yield will be good on all well-prepared land. We are having fine ripening weather. The straw will be short, the heads average in size and well filled, and grain will be fit to cut a week or more earlier than last year. The present outlook is very promising. The crops on the experimental farms at Indian Head and Brandon are excellent and well advanced.” Bold Move of Railroad Men to Cross Lake Michigan. DETROIT. Mich.. Aug. 10.â€"Preparation is being made, and the experiment will be tested duringr this fall and winter to deal shipping interests of the great lakes one of the severest blows that that industry has yet received from the railroads. Apart from the package freight carried by the swift steamships, there is hardly anything for vessels to take from Lake Erie to Lakes Michigan and Superior excepting coal. It is at this trafiic that the railroads are now casting their eyes, and an attempt to gather it in is now being prepared for. At the yard of the Craig Shipbuilding Company in Toledo there are under con- struction two huge and peculiarly- shaped hulls. They are 260 long. 52 feet beam and 19 feet deep and will cost when com- pleted about $180,000 each. They are for the Toledo. Ann Arbor and North Michi~ gan Railroad and will both be completed this fall. Each of the steamers will be fitted with fuur tracksand will be capable of carrying 24 cars. They will be operat- ed between Frankfort. Mich., and Kewanee, Wis. a route that is 60 miles long and can be covered in six hours. The projectors of the scheme ‘igure that cars can be taken across at a cost of $2 each, against a present cost of $7, when bulk is broken. This refers to the handling of general merchandise. But it is the coal business that the best results are looked Matches and pins being among the most common things in daily use, it is seldom that any thought is bestowed upon them. Matches that are lighted by friction were first made in 1829, before which time they Were made to catch fire from a park struck from flint or steelâ€"a very inconvenient method. It is hard to say how many mil- lions of matches are made in a day, but when the number of people that use them is reckoned, the total sum is appalling. Probably in the city of New York alone over twenty million matches are used every twenty-four hours. But matches are such little things that nobody ever seems to think of them. From an ordin- ary three-inch plank 186,000 matches may be made, yet even at this rate the lumber used in the match business attains enor- mous proportions. Q n c g _.nn Pins are mentioned as far back as 1483. but not until the beginning of this century were they manufactured by machinery. The old way of making each pin by hand must have been very tedious, and it is not likely that pecple were so careless with them then, as they were very much more expensive than now. It has often been wondered what becomes of the pins that are lost, but it is hard to say. There are fourteen distinct operations in making a pin, and lots of trouble attached to the process. Pins are made of brass, and then tinned and blanched, and millions of them are manufactured daily. As a pin can be used more than once. the number used does not equal that of matches, but still miles upon miles of wires are used annually in their manufacture. Like matches, they are little things and not thought much of; but when you need a pin or a match, and there is none to be found then you realize what an important part they play in daily life. An abuse that tends to the injury cf brain workers is excessive eating. A writer in the Medical Mirror recalls to mind several active brain workers who suddenly broke down, and fancied that it was due to brain fatigue, when, as a matter of fact, it was due to overstufl'ing of their stomachs. The furnace connected with mental machinery became clogged up with ashes and carbon in various shapes and forms, and as a result, disease came, and, before the cases were fully appreci- ated, a demoralized condition of the ner- vous system was manifested, and they laid the flattering unction to their souls that they had indulged in mental overwork. Hard work, mental or physical, rarely ever kills. If a mild amount of physical exercise be taken, and a judicious amount of food be furnished, the bowels kept open in proper manner, the surface protected with proper clothing, and the individual cultivates a philosophical nature and absolutely resolves to permit nething to annoy or fret him, the chances are that he can do an almost unlimited amount of work tor an indefinite length of time, bear- ingr in mind always that when weariness comes he must rest, and not take stimu- lants and work upon false capital.
