One day I missed the paper, and com- plailied that I had not seen it ; but the complaint was a passing one, and only re ceived a passing answer. Nor did I trouble myself about the matter. And yet strangely enough, I felt all that day a curious and almost oppressive pre- I could not formulate I knew of Commencing with the remark that it was acknowledged. The world has found out that it can do less work in seven than in six, and the fiftyâ€"two days of the year devoted to rest are an addition rather than a subtraction. Experiments have been made in all departments. The great Lord Castlereagh thought he could work his brain three hundred and sixty-five days in the War, but after a while broke down and committed suicide ; and Wilberforce said of him, “Poor Castlereagh ! This is the result of the non-observance of the Sab- bath !” A celebrated merchant declared : “I should have been a maniac long ago but for the Sabbath.” The nerves, the brain, repentance by appropriate contrition. His own health, he went on to say, was rapidly failing, andliis duties were onerous; but be trusted none the loss thattheDivine blessing had prospered his labors. If it would give me any comfort so see him he would hurry down at once;but he certainly, after what had passed at our last interview, would not do so uninvited.

Who made the law? You, out for the Sabbath rest. What is true of man is for the most part true of the brute. Travellers have found out that they come to their places of destination sooner when they let their horses rest by the way on the Sabbath. What is the matter with those forlorn creatures harnessed to some of the city cars? Why do they stumble and stagger and fall? It is for the lack of the Sabbatic rest. In Other days, when the herdsmen drove their sheep and cattle from the far West ,1 down to the seaboard, it was found out by a experiment that those herdsmen and drovers who halted over the seventh day got down sooner to the seaboard than those who passed on without the observance of the holy Sabbath. The fishermen off the coast of .Newfoundland declare that those men during the year catch the most. fish who stop during the Lord’s Day. When I asked the Rocky Mountain loco- motive engineer why he changedlocomotives when it seemed to ha a straight route, he said, “ We have to let the locomotive stop and cool off or the machinery would soon break down. ” Men who made large quanti- ties of salt were told that if they allowed their kettles to cool over Sunday they would submit themselves to a great deal of ride leisurely and with comfort,” said an expert, “should have a turned~up handle and a seat set upon springs. If the wheel has the turned down handle, the bar would have to be raised so high in order to enable the rider to sit upright that the handles flections, not forgetting a complaint that the present were revolutionary times in which Church and State alike were threat- ened, and that the Clerk to the Chapter found it impossible to collect the Cathedral rents or to pay the small stipends with anything like the punctuality that could be desired.

It would make it wobble. “The nearer the handles are to the framework of the machine the easier it is for the rider to keep his balance and steer. Thelowering of the handles to this position increases the ability of the rider to speed the machine, because when he bends over he gets a better hold on the pedals and is able to exert more power in forcing the wheels ahead. And when his body is thrown forward, with the head down, there is less resistance to the wind. " Elderly or leisurely riders would find the upright position more to their comfort and liking, and that is why all good wheels I promised the blanket at once, and told t her to call for it that evening ; but the old dame broke out afresh. “ Whata dreadful thing !

But while the attempt to kill the Sabbath by the stroke of axe and flail and yardstick has beautifully failed, it is proposed in our day to drown the Sabbath by flooding it with secular amusements. They would bury it very decently under the wreath of the target company and to the music of all brazen instruments. There are to-day, in the different cities, ten thousand hands and ten thousand pens busy in attempting to cut out the heart of our Christian Sabbath, and leave it a bleed- ing skeleton of what it once was. The effort is organized and tremendous, and unless the friends of Christ and the lovers of good order shall rouse up right speedily, their sermons and protests will be uttered after the castle is taken. There are cities in the land where the Sabbath has almost perished, and it is becoming a practical question whether we who receive a pure Sabbath from the hands of our fathers shall have piety and pluck enough to give to our children the same blessed inheritance. The eternal God helping us, we will ! I protest against this invasion of the Holy Sabbath, in the first place, because it is awar on Divine enactment. God says, in Isaiah: “ If thou turn away thy foot from doing thy pleasure on My Holy day, thou shalt walk upon the high places.” What did he mean by “doing thy pleasure ?" He referred to secular and worldly amuse- ments. A man told me he was never so much frightened as in the midst of an earthquake, when the beasts of the field bellowed in fear, and even the barnyard fowls screamed in terror. Well, it was when the earth was shaking and the sky was alltull of fire that God made the great announcement, “ Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” Go through the streets where the thea- tres are open on a Sabbath night ; go up on the step ; enter the boxes of those places of entertainment, and tell me if that is keep- ing the Sabbath day holy? “ Oh,” says some one, “ God won’t be displeased with a grand sacred concert.” A gentleman handle bar. “Speeders all prefer the bar with the turned-down handles, and those who do not care for speeding select the turned-up handle bar. That is all the difference there is to the two styles of riding." 'lhe accompanying pictures illustrate both positions. FEW TEETH PULLED NOW. lecu at Root nail the Dentist Will Build It Into Serum-able Shape. In the course of an address at, a dental convention recently a delegate remarked that there is not one tooth lost now where there used to be 100. The day of reckless tooth pulling has passed. It is a mighty poor tooth that the skilled operator of to- day cannot render far better and more ser- viceable than the best possible false one. If only the root is left a new upper part of porcelain or gold, called a “crown,” is fast- ened upon it so as to be quite serviceable. Supposing that not even the root is left, a gap in the mouth is tilled in with one or or more"dummies” securely fastened by a a gold “bridge" or otherwise to the sound teeth. Complete sets of false teeth are rare nowadays. 0n the other hand, people in a palpably toothless condition are almost never seen, the cost of a complete artificial dental equipment being only $10. The de- mand for “tooth-crowns” comes largely from base-ball players, foot ball athletes and bicycle riders, who are very apt to have their teeth broken of? short. But the last and most ingenious resort of the dental surgeon is “implantation”â€" i. e., the setting of new teeth into the jaw. For this purpose real teeth are employed and not artificial ones. Cocaine having been first applied for producing local anaesthesia, a hole is drilled in the jawbone, and into this socket a good tooth newly drawn from somebody’s jaw is set. If the patient is young and vigorous the osseous structure soon closes around it, and, by the time the the tooth is ready for use. “One green field, sir,” said Johnson to Boswell, “is to a man of intelligence exact- ly like any other green field, sir. I and you do not want to look at green fields, sir : let us take a walk down Fleet Street.” Your modern Parisian is as ignorant and as prejudiced as Johnson himself.

The nerves quieted, the temples cooled, the mind cleared, the soul strength- ened, and our entire population turned out on Monday morning ten years younger, better prepared for the duties of this life, better prepared for the life that is to come. Which do you like the best, the Ameri- can Sabbath or the Parisian Sabbath? Do you know in what boat the Sabbath came across the sea and landed on our shores? It was in the Mayflower.

Tlie strike of the Scotchcoal miners began Tuesday morning, 60,000 men ceasing work. Many steel works in Scotland have closed owing to the scarcity of coal due to the strike of the miners, and others will shut down on Thursday. Thousands of steel workers are in enforced idleness. Arrangements have been nearly concluded to provide the necessary capital to finish the Chignecto ship railway connecting the Bay of Fundy with the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The promoters of the enterprise are san- guine that the railway will soon be in op- . eration, and will shortly submit a proposal in regard to it to the Dominion Govern- ment. The authorities of the War Office and Admiralty deny any knowledge of the re- cently reported purchase in Chicago by :‘a those departments of army forage and other supplies. This denial is in answer to an offer on the part of Canadian merchants to ~furnish all such supplies needed, the offer having been accompanied by an assertion that supplies were being purchased in Chicago for the British army and navy. The thinnest iron sheet in the world has lately been rolled in Swansea in \Vales. It is twenty-five centimetres long and four- teen wide. Its thickness is exactly .0052 millimetre. One may get an idea of this “ thickness" by comparing it to that of silk paper, which is ordinarily .02 milli- metre thick. Some iron manufacturers have advertised that they make visiting cards of thin iron plates. Krupp has manu- factured such of the thinness of .04 milli- metre. The longest steel chi is 79 1-2 metres long and was turned in New York. Some months ago a Dublin inventor claimed for a preparation of his that it would preserve eggs in perpetual freshness. To thoroughly test the efficacy of the in- vention, which, if successful, would revo- lutionize the egg market, an experiment was carried out at the Freeman ofiices. A sample of‘eggs immersed in the patent solution, which is a thin greyish paste of the consistency of honey, have remained undisturbed there for a period of four months, and when opened the other night in the presence of experts were found to be all perfectly fresh.

In a photograph collector’s album there are the pictures of 100 criminals who were tried and convicted last year. A good pro- portion of them are men of fine appearance with honest looking faces and a pleasant expression. The owner of the album often shows these pictures to his acquaintances, without telling who the men are :and he says that, of all the people who have - seen them, not one has yet guessed that '. they are convicted criminals, or that they 1 do not rank among the most respectable citizens. “Whats. remarkably handsome and good lot of friends you must have." said a clergyman after looking over the album, all the pictures in which have been chosen for the purpose which they subserve. Two of the photographs represent man killers now in prison. ______â€".â€"â€"â€"- A remarkable case of what can be done Some gell, prevailed upon him to allow her to go into the office and assist in the work. For the first few days she found occupation in folding papers, etc., and she soon became so proficient in that that she asked to be allowed to set type, and was given a case to see what she could do. In less than an hour she had the boxes learned, and the first stickful of type was set in fifty min- utes. What is still more remarkable. she can now set as much type as the average com- positor and do it uith greater accuracy. She experiences but little difficulty with her copy. She is expert in writin the language of the blind, and matter is ictat- ed to her. \Vriting it down in her language, she goes to her case, and gliding her ngers over the raised sutiace, she retains in her mind entire sentences, and accordingly can set with great rapidity. In order to get the type right side up, her middle finger is used in feeling the nicks, and this is done while the type is being lifted into position in the stick. She has not yet attempted to distribute type, but she expects to soon become master of this artas well. Miss Angell is a very intelligent young woman, and is a fine player on the piano. She has also achieved quite a little fame as a singer. .â€"_â€"â€"vâ€"â€".-â€"â€"â€"‘. The Queen's Memory. Here are a couple of stories told of the wonderful power of memory enjoyed by her Majesty. Conversation at the dinner table at Windsor recently turned on Home and the Pope. The Queen somewhat surprised those present by saying that she had seen his Holiness, addingâ€""He was Dresented to me many years ago, when Cardinal Pecci by Cardinal Howard; then we did not know he was at all likely to be Popeâ€"in- deed, Cardinal Howard seemed to have . much the better chance. But I remember ' / the occasion quite well : it must be nearly " thirty years ago." In Florence one day the Queen perceived a man attempting to photograph her in her carriage. She cal- led the attention of one of her attendants to him, and saidâ€"”I should like to s to that man ; he was mentioned to me by Lord Palmerston when I wanted some photographs copied by a permanent process and he did them for me, but I thought he was dead long ago.” The man being pre- sented to her Majesty, said he had been out in Australia for fiVe and twenty years. and was indeed the person to whom she had referred. W They Should be Taught. Comparatively few children are natur- ally neat and orderly in their habits, yet it is one of the easiest lessons they can learn, and if rightly taught it soon become a confirmed habit and a source of pleasure and satisfaction to the mother. To help them form the habit we must see that they have a convenient place in which to put everything and see that all their childish belongings are in the place allotted, when not in use. In this respect as in many others there is a vast difference in children. Some, from the beginning, only require an occasional word and gentle direction Others are, perhaps, so naturally careless and untidy that one almost despairs of ever teaching them or getting them to be clean and orderly. But persevere firmly and kind- ly. They will learn in time, and orderly, methodical habits once formed will never be i forgotten.
