We have harped on the theory of development, and hoped that man, who according to the scientists, began as a monkey, will go on improving until, after a while, under each arm will he felt sprouting the feathers of an angel 5 wing. There is nothing but a little pimple on the soul, which needs a piece of court-plaster. Ah! sin is no hail-aud-hali thing. Tho human heart is not ina tolerable condition.

You say that one soul saved it worth more than all that money. True enough; but be frank, and confess that, considering the great outlay the religious advan- tage reaped haa been insignificant.

I saw men walking the louvre Gallery in Paris half-asleep; no flach came to their eyes, no flush to their cheeks, no exclamation to their lips, amid the most thrilling triumphs of painters’ pencil and sculptors chisel. And so, until grace touches our soul, we walk through the great picture-gallery of the Gospel, and the wonders of Christ and the. glories of heaven strike no thrill through the heart. Ah: there are people who acknowledge that their heart is hard; they carry it about like a cake 0! ice in tucir bosom; and they wish it would melt; they say, “I cannot feel; I want to, but cannot.” 'lhe text is tFue.

Raphael Dubois, in a paper read i before the Academie des Sciences, de- ‘scribes a series of experiments in which he obtains a luminous source of considerable intensity by the use .of certain microbes of photobacteria. which have the power of emitting light. These are allowed to propa- gate in a liquid bouillon of special composition. When the experiment is made with good microbe cultures to start with. and at the proper tem- perature, the development is rapid,and ' the liquid soon contains the microbes gin sufficient quantity to give the § luminous effect. A glass vessel is used 3 to contain the liquid, preferably with 5 plain sides, and it is possible in this way to light a room strongly enough "to distinguish the features of aper- ;son placed at several yards distance. ? and newspaper type may be read. The light has scarcely any calorific effect, lend the properties of its chemical rays seem to be also feeble, as it re- quires seversl hours’ exposure with an instantaneous piste to obtain agood mammal“. arousing, rekindling, omnipotent Spirit only can do it. That Spirit eomes to every one of your hearts at some time. There a man says, “Oh for something better!” That ls‘a stroke of God's Spirit. Here a man says, “I wish I could. he like my old father and mother before they died.” That was a stroke of God’s Spirit. Here is a man who says, “I wish I could get over these perplexi- ties about the future world. " That is a stroke of God’s Spirit. Yonder is a man who looks all unconcerned, but he trembles. He knows that eternity is all around him, and that one step may plunge him beyond all rescue.

It well prepared, the phosphores- cent aolution will keep for a long time without deteriorating; the experi- menter has kept some samples in a basement at a low temperature for more than six months.

'l‘he storm is coming; the cloud that was only aspeck of darkness on the sky has become asquadron of black sails, and the port-holes of the thun- der are opening for the cannonade in which all those who reject God shall go down.

To peach eggs hard for garnishing add a teaspoonful of salt, and a ta- blespoonful of vinegar. to a small saucepan of boiling water. and drop the eggs in one at a time, at the point of greatest ebullition. Because of the increased temperature, as well as the motion of the water, the white will wrap itself in a ball shape about the yolk. Eggs cooked in this manner are indigestible, because of the horny condition of the white, but they make a aightly decoration. CAKE MAKING. To be able to make a cake which shall be (me and smooih'in texture, shapely in form and pleasant. to the taste is an art not to be despised. There is a knack abowt it not easily acquired, and yet it is generally supposed that anybody can - make cake. .‘lhere are cakes and cakes. Some appear to behall right but are woe- fully unsatisfactory after manipula- tion, so it is wise to choose a recipe with discrimination and then follow it with; unwavering devotion to,the desired haven. While there is usually but one process or methozl of mixing the ingredients for loaf and layer cakes, there is a difference in the baking, for the best batter can be spoiled in a refractory oven. The heat must be just right in order that the highest success shall crown the cook's efforts. For loaf cake the oven should not be quite as hot as for layer cake; still it should be rather brisk at first, gradually lessening, keeping at as even a temperature as possible. Care should be shown in the tins used. that they are the right shape, well greased, papered in some instances. Lard is much better to use than butter, does not burn so easily. may remain at about the same tem- perature; t‘lm water should on no ac- count be allowed to become cold or very hot, otherwise the leather will be either hard or slimy.

It brooms are wet in boiling suds once a week, they will become very tough, will not cut the carpet, last much longer and always sweep like a new brown. Do not keep a broom before the fire, the brush is l'able to break, being so dry. The dampening lengthens out its da3s of usefulness. Do not store brooms where there are rats and mice; they like the corn, A broom that. ’3 all out of shape may be restored by soak- ing, then pressing into shape. White bread and butter and crack- ers are very good in their place; there are times and seasons for all things. and however much we may rise above the sweet tooth orour childhood, most of us must confess to an oc- casional hankering after the am- brosial loaf. Then the kitchen di- vinity should depend upon her tried and true formulas and not pin her faith to any unknown and unvouched for flights of fancy wherein eggs and sugar and butter and flour and flav- orings wage perpetual warfare. The most misleading ingredient in many recipes is the butter. Enough is enough, and a i ttle too much' results in heavy, soggy cake. Then the baking powder if used indiscriminate- ly makes the texture coarse and honeycombed instead of satiny and smooth. One tires of such butter cakes all the time and there are many of the simple cakes that are perfectly satisfactory when well made and eaten fresh. Stale cake is not good and judgment must be exercised that too munh shall not be on hand at once. An excellent way of washing cham- ois leathers is as follows; Rub them well all ovea'. while dry, with good yellow soap; have ready a lukewarm lather in a suitable pot, put the leathers into the same, pressing them down so that they may all come into contact with the water; cover the utensil, and stand it on the side of the kitchen stove, where the contents GARE ' 0F BROOMS. In buying a broom choose one with greenish brush. See that the broom heed does not shake on the handle; it it does reject it; for the handle having been green when the broom was made, in sweeping the brush will keep falling out. Next. open the broom below the sewing. and see it there are any stalks. It should be clear brush; for as the stalk oi broom corn is brittle, if there are any below the twine they Will be continually breaking off. HO‘V TO WASH CHAMOIS.

One thousand six hundred plates would cover the entire sky. and et this rate would'contain «101100.000 stare. As. however. the stars are much toss numerous in other parts of the sky the actual number within our present reach possibly does not ex- coed 100.0003“). How many million are there beyond the present reach of our existing teleocopel and the apphances of photography! In 1886 a conference of astronomers was held in Paris, which led to the attempt to obtain photographs of the entire sky. Seventeen observatories agreed to take part in this work. each having a particular portion of the sky assigned to it. Photographic telescopes of the usual form and hav- ing an aperture 01 18 inches were prescribed for this work. each photoâ€" graph covering a region only two de- grees square. So far a small portion only of: these photographs has been taken. and Duke Henry of Meckfen‘burg- Schwerin has been fixed for January 17th next.
