He was Bowmen to preach sixty-six years ago, when a young man of 22, and was married the same year. His wife is still living, and both are vigorous. A traveller inNorway says that the home in that country, have a very sensible way of taking their food, wleich perhaps might be beneficially followed here. They have a bucket of wateripnt down beside their allow- ance of hay. It is interesting to am with what relish they take ar sip of the one and a mouthful of the other alternately, sometimes only moistenirm their mouths, as a rational being would do while eating a dinner of such dry food. A broken -winded horse is scarcely ever seen in. Norway, and the ques- tion is if the mode of feeding has not some- thing to do with the preservation of the animals respiratory organs. The following is one of the rules of a liv- ery stable in New Y ork, where the horses of many of the Wealthy men are boarded: "No man will be employed who drinks itt. toxicating liquors. Xo man must speak loud to erty of the horses, or in the stable where they are. Horses of good blood are nervotts, and loud, excited conversation is felt by every horse in the stable who hears it. Excited words addressed to one horse are felt by every horse who hears them, and. keep them all nervous and un- easy, No man may use profane language ha the hearing of the horses." It would not be a bad idea for livery stables all over the country 00 adopt apart, en all of this rule. rsi the chemical laboratory ; 4' Professor, what has become of Tont Appleton?

Mr. Rainsford, noW rector of St. George's Church, New York, but formerly of St. jamas Church, Toronto, recently made the somewhat startling proposition to hus congregation that those of them who were leaving town for the summer should allow poor families of the parish who were well recommended to occupy the basements of their houses during their absence, and that he would be personally responsible for the conduot of the inmates. By this means valuable property 'would be safely guarded, and poor families would live rent free in comfortable and healthy houses during the most trying season of the year. To the credit of the congregation it may be said that a great many of the wealthy members profited by the suggestion; and now be- tween twenty-five and fifty poor families are living in handsome brown -stone houses. This plan has about it a practiced side which ought to commend it to the benevolent minded. Solaemes for the amelioration of suffering and poverty are now attempted which fifty years ago would have been pro. nounced visionary and Quixotic The French lottery loan for the Panarna Canal is likely, it is now said, to prove a failure. It would be a surprise should the event be otherwise. The very fact of resort being had to such a naethod of raising funds, even under Government sanction, should be sufficient, one would suppose, to condemn the scheme in the eyes of all sober capital- ists. When a company appeals to the gemblin4 mania So lam as to promise prizes, varying an amount from 100,000 to 500,000 francs, it is pretty clear that their enterprise cannot stand on its own merits. In the case in question a French financial writer predicts thannot more than one-half, possibly net more that one-fourth, of the amount required will 'be sulasmilted. It is thought that a large pert of the sum thus raised will have to be deposited with the Government as security for the successful prize drawers. Theprospects for M. de Lesseps' completion of his greet enterprise, with funds 'derived from the lottery loan, are certainly dark. ueen general and Enelentl about et ae'eating syatern, aPi an geomal Was Z110 31/11 that Its abuso ebeali be leilhen into eorrecten, thot Gte Howie ef Urdu ap. 1.1404a 41pe 411 committee to get inter- im the subject.

The advanced age ot the monarch and the frailtondition of the Crown Prince's health have certainly hed mule to do with the grandson's rapid promotion. Two veave ago —he is now 29—Prince Williaturanked ouly 4.11 a major, and people in general apoke with surprise at the elownese with which he ad. stoned* yet all praisea the thovouglinees of his inilitery educatioa, Innumerable prinelinga were then above Mwo ma well as untitled men of mit much longer nervica, for A PrIleSian prince receives his atraps at the ago of ten. Ho wat compelled to work like the rest of his comrades, equally subject to military dtacipline. Early and late he was with his regiment, ordered about as an ordinary major, saluting his superiors, with little or no attention—in a militray way —paid to his royal rank. But all this is changed, and he wean now the brilliant in- signe of a Premien naajormeneraL The Em- peror appointed him by telegraph—he being atadoned Poteciam—and a few hours late he presented himself to his grandsire in bis new regiments's, beamingly happy at his in- creased importance. Any hour may make him Crown Prince—yea, may make hint King and Emperor—and the proud old ruler has at last thought it best to recognize this possibility, and prepare the young man for its realizetion. Yet Prince Willian is a young looking major -general. He lacks the prominent rugged features of his father and the hand- some lines of his grandsire. The Hohenzel- terns have no hereditary physical character, 'sties. Even Prof. Richow failed to find any cranial ones in his scientific examina- tion of the ancestral skulls. They have never intermarried, having the purest blood of all royal families—a custom which tends to preserve and intensify oeculiarities. Prince William has the appearance of a young man of twenty-five. His upper lip shows a sparse blonde moustache, his nose is slightly Roman, with a roe. dium forehead and hair stands back like Beethoven's. But despite the compare. Merely weak chin, his gold blue eye has a brave, daring expression, which reminds one a little of the great Frederick, whom he is fondly said to resemble in character. He is slender in build, and shorter in stature than his brother, the naval Hohenzollern." His right hand is badly crippled, and his right arm at least two inches shorter than his left, a defect which has mused t much annoyance and mental pain as ever Byron's deformity. did. He tries upon every coca - doh to conceal it, but -tries, of course, in vain. Yet the skill he possesses is remark- able. He carries his sword upon parade as well as any ofeicer, and bas become a most excellent fencer, rides like a Cossack, and shoots with unerring aim. No officer in the army is more popular than this royal scion and none more clever. No wonder that his men are attached to him. He has a pleasant word for all, and cracks his joke with the common man as though he were of his number.

The experiment which was initiated two years ago at Harvard College of abolishing compulsory attendance at the devotional ser- vices has been attended with gratifying Sue - cess, A report recently heeled states that under the optional attendance system the services have been thronged, and that there has been an increase ofeweligious life mid activity at the college. Met the same time, it is only fair to state that when compulsory attendance was abolished a committee was appointed with instructions to make the services as adman as possible. The result has been cited by a contemporary to show that denominationalism in a college is not essential to the existence and effectiveness of religious influences. records speech but repeats it.
