I am sorry to have to confess it, but among the many lessons which a compara- tive study of religions teaches ns, there is one that eeeme very humiliating, namely, that religions intolerance is much more common in modern than in ancient times. I know the excuse which ie made for thee. It is said that, as cur convictions become deeper and stronger, our intolerance of falsehood also most assume a more intense character, and that it would show an otter want of earnestness if it were otherwise. There may be rime truth in this, but it is a dangerous truth. It is the same truth which led the Inquisition to order the burn. ing of heretics because it was better for their seals, and which inflicted in our own times, a less violent, though perhaps a nob less painful, martyrdom on scab reverent men, true tieinkera,einoere lovers and earnest inquirer after truth as Dean Stanley, Bishop Colenso, and Charles Kingsley.— Prof. Max Muller in the March Forum. Brush the Read Frequently. If there is nothing the matter with the head or the skin, the hair will grow all right if it is treated in, the natural way. Ordinarily stiff brushes should be used; and occasional rubbing and smoothing ant with the hands are soothing to the head and good for the hair. Mental workers are especially troubled with neuralgic pains and headaches, which frequently kill the coloring pigments and turn the hair prematurely grey. Combing and rubbing. the scalp of the head with the hand draws the blood up to the surface of the head, and not only relieves the pain at times, but adds new strength to the hair. Those suf.
