Snails for Consumption..
Many of the alleged discoveries in medi-
cine are after all little more than revivals
of very old theories, says a St. Louis doe -
tor. One of the latest fads for the treat-
ment of consumption is the snail cure,
which is said to have been tried and found
successful. There is nothing new in this,
for in an old medical work, published in
1746, copies of which aro still to be found in.
several libraries, there is a long account of
a mixture of garden snails and earth worms
will cure consumption, and from more recent
batiks the fact can be gleaned that this very
objectionable remedy has been popular in
the South of .England and in Wales for
years, being regarded as superior in every
respect to drinking cod liver oil.
A Healthy Skin.
The scarf -skin is being constantly cast off
the form of minutes powdery scales ; but
ese, instead of fulling away from the skin
re retained against the surface by the con -
act of clothing. Moreover, they beeomo
angled with the unctuous and saline pro -
acts of the skin, and the whole together

siveness, attracts particles of dust of all

s they are injurious, even poisonous, if re-

rgans than the skin. Those organa are the
lungs, the liver, the kidneys, and the bowels.
But it will be apparent to every one that if
these organs equally, or one more than an-
other, which is generally the case, be called
upon to perform their own office, plats that
of another, the equilibrium of health must
be disturbed and the oppressed organ rust
suffer from exhaustion and fatigue, andmust
become the prey of disease. Thus obviously
ud plainly habits of uncleanliness become
he cause of consumption and other serious
diseases of the vital organs. Again, if the
ores be obstructed, respiration through the
kin will be at an end, and as a consequence,
the blood, deprived of one source of its

oxygen, one outlet for its carbon, the chemi-
cal changes of nutrition will be insufficient,
and the arunal temperature lowered, and
lie effects of cold manifested on the system,

use of other injurious disorders. The third
osation offers results even more serious than
nose which precede. If a pellicle of foreign
ibstance be permitted to form on the skin,
is will inevitably become the seat of a
etention of Miasmata and infectious
apours. They ill rest here previously to

The atoning work is done,
The Victim's blood is shod,
And Jesus now is gone

Ho stands in Heaven theirreat High Priest,
Ho bears their names upon His breast.
He sprinkles with His blood
The moray seat above;
For justice had withstood
The purposes of love
But justice now withstands no More,
And mercy yields her boundless storo.
No temple made with hands,
Hie place of service is;
In Heaven itself Ho stands.

In Him the shadows of the law
Aro all fulfilled, and now withdraw.
And though a while He be
Hid Vont tho eyes of men,
His people look to see
Their great High Priest again;
In brightest glory He will come,
And take His waiting people home.
Golden Thoughts for Every Day.
Monday—
What worn life
Did soul stand still therein, forego her strife
Through the ambiguous present, to the goal
Of some al1-reconciling, future./ Soul,
Nothing has been, wlnoll shall not bettered bo,
Hereafter. --[Robert }aro Nning.
Tuesday—I strongly recommend you to
follow the analogy of the body in seeking
the refreshment of the mind, Everybody
knows that both than and horse are very
much relieved and rested if, instead of lying
down and falling asleep, he ohanges the
muscles he puts in operation ; if instead of
level ground he goes up and down hill, it is
a reat both to the man walking and the
horse he rides ; a different set of timbales is
called int o action. So I say, call into
action a different class of faculties, apply
your ininds to other objects of wholesome
food to yourselves as well as of good to
others, and, depend upon it, that is the true
mode of getting repose in old age. Do not
overwork yourselves ; do everything in
moderation.—[Lord Brougham.
Wednesday—
Great God, to thee my evening song,
With liulnblo gratitude 1 rare;
let thy mort•y tune my tongue,
And 1111 my heart with lively praise.
My days unclouded as they pass,
And every onward rolling hour
Aro monuments of wondrous grace,
And witness to thy love and power.

Thursday—Besides this the mind of roan
itself is too active and restless a principle
ever to settle on the true point of quiet. It
discovers every day some craving want in a
body which really wants but little. It
every day invents sonno new artificial rule
to guide that nature which, if left to itself
were the best and surest guide. It finds
out imaginary being prescribing imaginary
laws ; and then it raises imaginery terrors
to support a belief in the beings, and an
obedience to the laws. Many things have
been said, and very well, undoubtedly, on
the subjection in which we should preserve
our bodies to the government of our under -
'standing ; but enough has not been said
upon the restraint which our bodily neces.
sities ought to lay on the extravagant
sublimities and eccentric ravings of our
minds. The body, or, as some love to call
it, our inferior nature, is wiser In its own
plain way, and attends to its own business
more directly, than the mind with all its
boasted subtlety.—[Edmund Burke
The Largest Ships Afloat.
The French five -master France is the
largest sailing ship afloat. She was launched
in September, 1890, at Patrick, and her di-
mensions are as follows Length, 361 feet;
breadth, 49 feet; depth, 20 feet. Her net
register tonnage is 3,624 with a sale area of
40,0008 uare feet, and not lone since she
carried an enormous cargo of 5,900 tens of
coal on her maiden passage from Barry to"
Rio de Janeiro without mishap after thirty-
two days' sail, or within one day of the fast.
est'passage,on record. She is square rigged
on four masts, bub carries fore-and-aft can-
vas on the fifth least. Her masa are only
160 feet high, nevertheless, she looks heav
ily sparred. This leviathan is fitted with a
cellular double bobtom, and can carry 2,000
tons of water ballast, thea reducing the ex-
pense ofhallasting to a minimum.
The largest British ship is the Liverpool,
3,330 tons, built of iron, on the Cly de. She
is 333 feet long, 48 feet broad, and 28 feet
deep. Her four masts are each square rigg-
ed, but she is far from c1i ..rtsy aloft, is easily
handled, and has run fourteen knots an hour
for a whole day. We were much impressed
byher exceptional beauty she
ce t oval s"ze but for be
copares unfavorably with such a ship as
the Thermopyhe, or a large wooden built
ship of America, having bright, lofty spars
and deoks as white as a hound's tooth. Iron
decks do not lend themselves rapidly to
adornment. Next in size is the Pulgrave,
of 3,078 tons.
The United States ship Shenandoah, of.
Bath, Me., built by Messrs. Sewal de Co., of
that port, is the largest wooden vessel in
existence. She is 3,250 tons register, and
will carry about 5,000 tons of heavy cargo.
She has just left San Francisco, Cal.,. with
11`2,8 00 centals of wheat, worth $175,000.
This is the largest grain cargo on
record, Another wooden vessel, the
Rappahannock, also built at Bath, Me.,
is 3,050 tons register, cost $125,000, and
7013 tons of Virginia oak, together with
1,200,000 feet of pine 'timber, were
used in her construction. The largest Brit-
ish wooden ship is the Three Brothers,
2,863 tone register, built at Boston, United
States, in 1855. She is 313 feet long, 48
feet broad, and 31 feet deep. A further
conception may be formed of the carrying
capacity of such ships when we mention
that the Liverpool brought 20,000 bales of
jute from Calcutta to Dundee, and the Rap-
pahannock took 125,000 cases of petroleum
from Philadelphia to Japan.
Care of the Hair.

f baldness are insufficient exposure of the
air to the suu and air, close, ill -ventilated
hats, excessive mental work and worry, the

boring: the hot season, a stout slat is neces-
sary' for the prevention of sunstroke. A
head covering should never be worn indoors,
in trains, or in closed carriages. The kind
bf material employed is of importance. In
summer straw appears to be the best, on
account of its lightness and permeability.
In winter, hats made of light telt: ventilated
and unlined, are recommended. The ordin-

stant washing of the hair 1s unnecessary, as
well as harmful. Once a week is quite often
enough for cleanliness, as well as for main-
taining'the strength of the hair. The same
j emark applies to continual brushing, especi-
ally withhard brushes. There is a notion
that greasing the hair is vulgar. After the
hair has been washed, it is certainly bene -
teal to apply sparingly some form of simple
frroate o ail, otherwise it is apt to become

Doubtful Friendship.
While not admiring the olassioal phraseo-
logy of the last sentenoo in the following
editorial extract from the Toronto Telegram
we cannot refrain from saying that the ex-
tract itself hits a good.sized nail plump on
the bead:
The New York Sun speaks approvingly of
"our friends the Liberals." Its censure is
more to be coveted by a Canadian party than
its praise. It is the brightest of American
newspapers, but even those who admire its
ability despise the spirit that makes it the
unreasoning enemy of Britain; the foe of
every party that makes the nation's great-
ness its first care, and the friend of every
faction that troubles the empire.
Tho Sun is a tpyical American newspaper.
Never, even by accident, is it just to Bri-
tain, and not a good word for the greatest
of countries appears in its editorial columns
from year's end to year's end.
This is the journal that speaks of " our
friends the Liberals."
.ehatparty through the errors of its wrong
headed leaders has earned the approbation
of journals that pato Canada and fear Bri-
tain. When Canada is choosing between its
own parties, approval from the cultured
Pollination of the New York Sun is a poor
recommendation for the faction that has
earned its praise.
The idea that the Sun's praise is helpful
to "our friends the Liberals "1 an entirely
superfluous proof of thatjournal's ignorance
of Canada and the Canadians. The popu-
larity of the Opposition in the United States
Ias not been earned by devotion to the cause
of its own country. The big but fat -headed
journal in question does not see that in
blessing the Grits itis giving the Tories oc-
casion to be thankful for the enmity of
"their friend the Suu."

Saturday—The author of nature has not
given laws too the universe which, like the
institutions of men, carry in themselves the
elements of their own destruction. He has
not permitted' in his works any symptom of
infancy or old age, or any sign by which we
may estimate either their future or their
past duration. He may put an end, as He
no doubt gave a beginning, to the present
system at some determinateperiod of time ;
but we may rest assured that this great
catastrophe will not be brought about by
the laws now existing, and that it is not
indicated by anything winch we perceive.—

It is only an error of judgment to make a
m stake, but it shows infirmity of character
to adhere to it when discovered,—[Bovee.
The hate Bishop Doane of New Jer sey
was strongly opposed to prohibition, and
his side- bo and was lined with brandy, wino,
&c. On one occasion the Rev. Mr. Perkins
of the Sons. of Temperance dined with the
Bishop, who, pouring out a glass of wine,
desired him to drink with him.
"Can't do it, Bishop. " Wine is a mock-
er.'"
" Take a glass of brandy then," ��
"No. " Strong drink is raging:
By this time the Bishop, becoming excit-
ed, remarked to Mr. Perkins. " 1 ou'll

Progress of the Bible.
Nothing in the triumphs of science or in
the history of literature matches the prog-
ress of the Bible. How it was originally de-
vised no one knows. Commentators cannot
authenticate beyond cavil a page of its
contents. Its age is wholly unknown. The
identity of the authorship of many of its
chapters remains unsuspected. No other
work has been so critically tested. No
other has suffered equally from ignorance
and superstition. Yet age after age it has
progressed in the world. Cherished by the
early Obifistians, manual labor delighted in
reproducing its sacred texts and artistic
lands in numberless cloisters illuminated
its margins. Diverse as must have been
the fountains whence its streams have
flowed, it became the great well of modern
religious thought. Full of apparent contra-
dictions, the church of the middle ages
made it the basis of comprehensive sacred
science, and by logic surpassing the skill of
antiquity deduced from it a compact and
formidable body of dogmatic creed which
continues to hold its place in a practical ,
world. When revolt overtook the ancient
church every seceder from her dominion
carried the Bible along as his dearestitreas-
ure. When printing became the preserver
and disseminator of literature the Bible be-
came the most popular of books. It is now.
There is every reason for believing that it
will continue to be."
