Without an — of faith in any doctor who regular, and without prejadice to a sincere intention of calling in a thoro structed and expert practitioner whenever occasion demands, it ia still permissible to smile amiably at the profeesional jealousy of quacks. succeasfal physician, with exceptions which happily are much more numerous than they were, is the most intolerant despost on earth. And we encourage him to beso. We are vaguely aware of the Hteaftastons of his knowledge; we know = he bas to guess firsts what is the mat- with us, and next what do us moh, and thas though ice are facts his acquaintance with which helps him to guess right, many theories that regulate his professional action are still hypotheti- oa], acd may or may not be correct. We know that be has discovered that many of the methods his father used were unwise and deletrious, and that the doses his grandfather pave often hastened the result they were intended to presen and hindered what they were designed to induce. 6 know not only that he is a man, and there- fore fallible, but that his professioal science like his father's and grandfather's, is pro- greesiv, and ia still very far from being exact. Nevertheless, when anything ails i ow of hie limita- he is, he kpcws more than we do, and that his knowledge is, on the whole, the best that stour command. This childlike trast in our physicians isa phenomenon which is oreditable to us and to our dootors, and from which we both get nefit. Undoubtedly our physicians do us good ; and indeed they ovght to, even if |) they knew less and guessed less fortunately than they do, else were faith a much less potent virtue than it is declared to be. But it is one thing for us to flook of our own accord to the dootors, and quite another thing far those professional gentlemen to hold that we shall come to them and to none elee, and that we may neither be legitimately born, nor die legally, except i the concurrence of the lea faculty.—From ‘ The Point of View,” in June “ Scribner.” Spiders and Their Young. Exbibisions of maternal affection are by no mesnus confined to the higher animals. Even the spider is displaying great heroism, where her young are cerned. It is ssid that one spider, “the lycoss, when her egg-bag was captured by an ant-lion, refused to leave it, preferring to sbare the fate of her eggs, and be swal lowed up.

Years ago a friend of the “lela” a stalwart Protestant, trained in a a school, was elected to tario. He went to Parliament with a feel- ing against Roman Oatholios which he himself described as strong prejadioe. He was not long there until he became inti mately acquainted with Mr. A. A. Dorion. The purity of Mr. Dorion's life, hia polite, refined manner, his high aime and scrapu- lous honor so impressed our friend that he nearly lost his aversion to Roman Catholia- ears of arg ope with the late Ohiet Justice when he was a member of Parliament led thia re icion Protestant to think that even a French Roman Catholic pe ihe may be an estimable, lovable man. There ia an important lesson here. a Roman Catholic can eo live, even in Parliament, as M1 disarm prejadice and almost commend his religion to one who wag trained to look upon that religion as repulsive, how mach more should Protestants be able to com- mend their religion to those who do not like it.? Afser all, daily life ia the most power- ful kind of argument. Whero we all fail is in living in euch a way ag to commend the “| religion of the Lord Jesus Obrist to those around us. The best Protestant is the man who commends Protestantism by his y life. Photographing the Dead.
