A Startling Paradox. "Unselfish mothers makeseifish children." This may seem startling ; but the truth is, that the mother who is constantly giving up her owu time, money, strength, and pleasure for the gratification of her ehildren teaohes •them to expect it always. They learn to be importunate in their demands, and to expect more and. more. II the mother wears an old dress thet her daughter may have a new ne, it she works that her daughter may lay, she is helping to make her vain, sel- sh, anti ignorant, and very likely she will e ungea,teful and disrespectiul. Panning Milk. IVItlk can 1c preserved by canning as well as fruit or any other perishable food•sub- stance. It is only neccstary lel cleanse the can or bottle thoroughly witb hotline; water or steam' then fill with milk which has bon d obtainefrom the cow in such a manner as to keep it free from germs; or brieg the milk to a boil, put it in a tin can, and put the cover on quickly the same as in canning fruit. Milk prepared in this way will keep perfectly sweet for several weeks. The Aim of Education. The aim of education should be O pre- pare the individual to make the most of himself in life. It should be a process which will make the Most practical men and women, the most effective workers for the advancement of all human institations, Any system which neglects any one of the three departments of human nature, mental, moral, or physical, must be necessarily a failure. Simply eckcating a child in the arts and sciences, without developing a love for truth; purity, goodnets, juttioe, and ther-raoral qualities, omiy prepares him to become the most expert of criminals, and to 'Amara moat successfully to elu.de &scow y and defeat justice. So' also, mental and oast discipline, withoutproper physical ulture, may in many respects qualify men or great usefulness in some departments of -Innen life ; but will very likely leave them o belting in the physictl force and stamina required tor an active and useful life as to ender them dead weights upon society, rather than effective agents for the advance- ment of its interests.

" Taste," it is eaid, "is the mind' e taot ; and assuredly the namd, even mere than the eye, must be brought to bear on the subject of what suite a woman, what she can afford, and wbat will blend harmoniously with her surroundings, and. the abaraoter of her hue. Granted that a woman has taste, she must oleo be poseessed of a fairly liberal mount of pin -money if she aspires to be wellalressed individual, for of all, the mem and pitfalls to be avoided and abhorred, oheap materials (no matter how pretty) must rank first. Let trimmings go by the. board it you cannot afford them to be in keeping with the stuff of which your mantles or gowns are to be made. Buy your material first—the best of lie kind—and let the et- ceteras take care of therneelves. To make up cheap dress', costs as much as the lash- ioningof a good one; only, in the one °Aso i there s much after -bitterness of spirit; in the other an inward content, that waxes stronger when the "good" garment outlasts half a dozen of a sio ter's cheaper fineries. "The more you dreas a Frenchwoman the better she is, and the less you drese an Englishwoman the better she is," is an old saying (slightly al- tered); and well-built women will do well to re- member this when they seek to cover them- selves with ribbons, braids and gimp ri that servo only to fritter away the figure, and are absolute death to the clear' fine outlines that should be followed withthe greatest exactitude. Dress an average woman in a onse-fitting suite or quiet neutral tinted tweed; give her a spotless linen collar, and offs to inatoh ; take away °hake and gew- gaws, and telt me if she ever looked better, unless indeed it were in a pink cotton cam - brio, on &summer's morning, with a rose at her throat instead of a brooch. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity—a costly simplicity if you will—but let every dress be ono- ideaacl, and let no unnecesaary or extraneous •trifles be introduced into it. And after simplicity, or rather a a consequence of it, oomes Freshness, that most desirable gnat - sty, which to a woman's clothes is much the same as a fair healthy skin is to her face; so that to say of a woman, "She always looks so fresh" is to pay the" highest of all .compliments to herself and her milliner. Don't Forget That house plants will not thrive when kept in a draft. That eas seem more tender when eat into wager that is cold, and allowed to boil gradually. That carpet dealers use a composition called camphorene for keeping rugs free from vermin. That you may same your back many an ache by having year. ironing board a. little higher than usual, high enough BO that you need not bend over it. The suggestion might also apply to the sink andltitchen tabl e. Hypnotism at Berlin. At a late meeting of the Berlin Medical Society Prof. Virchow introduced a French &violate Dr. Feldmann, who made some experiments in hypnotism. A young man named Garrick offered hintself as a medium. Alter a few seconds of the usual manipula- tions the medium fell into a deep magnetic sleep. He became perfectly apathetic and motionless. In the state of " sugeestion " Dr. Feldmann showed the Mono of vari- etre medicaments on the medium, who took quinine for sugar, smacking his like with enjoyment, and he believed ammonia to be perfume and smelt at it for some time. Im- mediately afterwards, following the' will of the doctor, he showed the usual signs of ab- horrence for those bitter and caustic sub- stances. With the same success he ate a lemon for an apple. A piece of camphor held on his forehead had a tinge' ar effect. The tnediutn bent his body far backward and had to be held on his chair. A magnet caused a dreamy state, during which the medium related his impressions as to the events in the streets, ie which he believed himself to be. Then the medium obeyed the will of the doctor in various ways, shoveling snow, skating, falling and rising again with one jump at the doctor's sugges- tion, and finally took a pocketbook by force ut of Prof. Virohow's pockets. He was then ordered by .Dr. Feldmann to reseat himself and soon woke out ot the hypnotic sleep, re- membering nothing of what had happened, Two young physicians then spoke'declaring that such experiments were wilhout scientific basis. They believed the " suggestrons " to be probably genuine'but as to the other experiments, especially the effect of medi- cinea and the magnet, they thought they needed careful examination. Intellect in Hairdressing. The ladies have been trying to let the hair fall down on the nape and not to wear it high on the heed as fotmerly. But I think the attempt will prove abortive. Young ladies with pretty necks like to show them and rebel at this decree. There is unquestion- ably intellecb and a thousand:other charms displayed in the high dressing of the hair. Whenever the upward line of the forehead is continued, it is felt that mental dignity is given. Of all the:weapons a woman posses- ses either for good or evil, their expression Iles in her hair. It is the low head, with loose wandering tresses which, from the days of the sirens to those of Louis XIV.. has most undeniably revealed the Delilah. Gather them up and the elements re-formred. On this account loose, flowing hair is only suitable for children or very young girls. A woman with her hair over her shoulders looks untidy or something worse. The high style of dressing heti the advantage of bring. ing out the forehead, not protruding it barc and bold, ces when the hair was drawn tight ly back from it, the fashion some years ago. --[The Amerioan Hairdreseen TWO WONARRESTED.

We give space this; week to t/ae following very able speech de_livered $ir John A. Matidoneld at the Woronto Board of Trade eituneuet ;— te, Yonr Excellency, Mr, President, ladies and gentlemen,-- My good fratucl and col- league deecribed most graphioally the torture that he was suffering in being obliged to nudge an after dinner speech, I did eot obi serve many eigns of torture, and I fancy that he was recompeneed a good deal for his suffering by the pleasure; lia must have felt far happier than his audience The position in ray case is the reverse. I have the greatest pleaeure in eddreesing a Toronto eedience, and the torture I hand over to to you. (Laughter.) I rise with the greet - est pleasure to respond to the toast, ancl I am more than pleased. I would be inseusl Isle if I were not. I am highly gratified by the manner iu which you have rehetved the toast of the two legislative bodies with which we are principally concerned—the Parlia• ment of Canada and the Legislature of On- tario. I have a sort of fetherly interest in the Parliament of Canada, because I sat at its oradle, and my good friend, the Premier of ()uteri°, helped me to rock the cradle. (Hear, hear,) 'The bantling has grown to a healthy filtato of maturity. It has come to full age this year, aria I am nob the man to state that it has not showu unmistakable evidence of having come to years of discretion. (Hear, hear.) Buit if you will look back to the events of the het 21 years, I think all those who were concern. ed in laying the basis of the Confederation, and in carrying out the legislation under the constitution which was then formed, I think they have cause to be satisfied. Only last year the statutes of the Dominion were re- vised, and if anyone will look at those two ponderous volumes, and scan the index, and see the 3714,(58 of legislation, all for the good of the Dominion, all directed for the purpose of developing Canada in its social, material, and moral position, he will say theptere laws that ally oountry may be proud of. (Hear, heats) It is a code that no party in Canada, can claim the exclusive praise for. From 1867 to 1873 the representatives worked earneetly and wisely up to the time they ceded their places to the Opposition—they, I say, worked vigorously to carry on this work. They succeeded, and we have laws which any nation may to proud of. My colleague has pointed ont to you, in terms the most eloquent, how this country has rapidly and eteildily grown, almost without interrup. tion, until we have arrived at *he position which he has described as being one of al- most unexampled prosperity. Just look at affairs in 1367. Taen we were three provinces, four in effect. The Parliaments of Upper Canada and Lower Canada, although having one Legislature, had different laws. The duty, the responsibilities, thrown upon the first Parliament of Canada and the Administra- tion which guided the. legislation of that Parliament was to educe order from chaos. Each province had its own Legislature, ita own set of laws. Those laws were founded upon the common law of England, yeb there were t great and lutportant diver- gencies :from that great fountain of law. Order had to be substituted for chaos, and now we have one great system of laws—one system of commercial law, of criminal law, one system of material law—for the develop• ment of the country; and all this has been done in twenty years with less friction than has occurred, I believe, in any country hav- ing to undergo the same experience. rook I at the United States ; look at the numerous questions which have divided them since they first adopted their great and wise conetitution. Look at the dangers of sever - once that again and again rose from the con fliot ing questions that arose upon that condi- tution—those questione which at last out- minated in a great aivil 'war. Here we have our differences; there may be opposing opin- ions as to sonae legislation thet is now on the statute book ; but on the whole I believe that if Ministaes were to change every five years, and I don't suggest that—(great laughter)— we should find that the varying legisla- tion offered to the different Parliaments by changing Govetnments would be based and founded substantially upon the body of laws which we how have the happiness of being governed by. (Hear, hear.) I am not going at this late hour to keep you much longer under the torture with which you have been threatened—("Go on")—but, Mr. President and gentlemen, I will say this, that I believe that the Parliaments of Can- ada., as they have been elected every o ur or five years, have substantially repre sented the feelings'the wishes, and the de sire of the people ntho elected them. (Hear, hear. Whether it was the Legislation of 1874— which- did not exactly agree with'me in all points— (laughter) -- or the Legislature of 1878, in which I think they exercised a wise discretion—(renewed laughter) -- I believe that those several Legislatures, the repre- sentatives elected by the electorate of Can- ada, did fairly and honestly and substanti- ally reflect and represent the desires and wishea of the people of Canada — (hear, hear)—and I speak not only for the retire. tentative body of the Parliament of Canada, but I speak ale° for our House of Peers. There are some who think that we ought to, have a different kind of House of Peers. Well, that opinion may prevail by -and -bye —I hope it will not—(heat, hear)—and I think you gentlemen who have heard the representatives from that body speak to- night will agree 'with me 9109 11 those are fair specimens of the Senate we could not • well DO WITHOUT THE SENATE,- :elation, filet they love the conetitution under which they new live; that they love the Sovereign who now rules over them—(hear, hear, and epplause)—thet they fully appre- ciate the greet advantages, moral, OQL0M0F, eial, political, and material, which they enjoy by the conneotioe with the Grand Old Country—the Mother Country of most of us. (Hoer, hear, and cheers.) Aye, let any man in Comae go to a constituency in Canada thriki make one of the grounds ot claiming their confideuee that he was auxioue to sever the silken tie that has so long connected us with theM other Country, I think, gentlemen, 010 under our rigid laws he would most likely forfeit his deposit. (Laugher) Gen. tlemen, we are doing very well. We are very comfortable. We arts very happy; and the people outside are quite cie happy as we are, and perhaps a little happier, as they have not the trouble of listening • to your humble servant. (Laughren) We are heppy, and we are resolved to remain era I (Hear, hear.) And the best way that we can do so is to go on aa we have been doing for the last twentytene years under our present constitution. You know the Italian epitaph which was put upon the tombstone by the sorrcwing survivors of the person under the sod :— (Heer, hear, laughter, and applause. With respect to having a second Chamber, I would only call your attention, if you have never heard it, to an aneodote told by General Washington—who was an Etiglish- matt at heart, and a lover of the English Constitution. (Hear, hear) He on one oc- casion was atomising yirh Mr. Jefferson the question of the advisability of having a second 'Chamber. Mr. Jefferson, as you all know, Was in love with the French system then in foroe—the Revolutionary system, where they had one Chamber only, one Con- vention --arid rs pretty mess that Convention made of it.

We are well, and if we try to be better in the way that some few advise us, to try. the quack medicine, I think that we will be in the position of the Italian, and have somebody else to wfite that epitaph for us. (Laughter,) We have very PLEASANT NEIGHBOURS TO THE SOUTH of us. They have got a great coestitution. They have a constitution in some respects more conservative than, our own, They are happy under it. They love it, and they have fought for it, and will fight for it. We have a constitution in no degree inferior— in very many degrees, in my opinion, superior—to the constitution they have in the neighbouring Republic— (applause) —and while we desire to trade with them, we desire to have the most friendly social relations with them, and we desire our young men to go across the line and to marry the prettiest and, the richest Yen: kees that they can —(laughter—yet we desire to retain our own independence, and to remein Canada, a nation belonging to a nation. (Cheers.) We heard the other day, during the excitement of a great pond. cal election in tne -United States, about retaliation. Well, we are not going to retaliate, although we are younger, and bigger, and the stronger nation. We will be magnanimous, now that the fever has' disappeared. We will forget all about it and resume our former relations, our trade, and our little srcial arrangements, and allow our young men to cross the line again with the same holy purpose. (Laughter.) In 1854, AB a member of the Government of that day—I was actually a Minister of the Crown before three quarters of you 'were born—I had to do with the passage of the FIRST RECIPROCITY ACT. We got on very well with the 'United States then. It was bone:Baal to both nations. It intimated our commerce enormotedy. I 0013 - not quote the figures—I will not quote Bucka book of arithmetic as my friend, the Minister ofFinance,quoted—(laughter) —butourtrade increased enormously, and when the Ameri- can Congress put an end to the treaty we all regretted it, but we did not despair, did not despond, and we found that we got on and prospered and incres sed in prosperity. (Ala plause.) In 1871 I was one of the British Commiesioners who settled the treaty known as the Wathington Treaty. That also was a great benefit to the country. It settled some troublesome questions. It settled all questions respecting the fisheries of which we have heard so much. It was a good treaty, although, by the way, I may say that I was told that I was a cross be- tween Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold for voeing for that treaty. (Laughter). We were all sorry that it was abolished, but true we are still prospering, still increasing in wealth, still able to enjoy banquets like this one, still in a position to enable our chief men to make such speeches as you have heard tonight. lThese facts show that even if our neighbors, from political or any other reasons, choose ta withdraw their present friendly relations, commercial or otherwise; it should prove to us that we are still able to walk alone, to pay respect to the 'repre- sentative of our Sovereign in the manner you have done too:tight, that our wealth will still increase, that we are still able to hold our own, and that our credit will nob (Cheera.) I do not think that we should be at all annoyed by the ,offer of Mr. Butterworth and others to .TO/N THE UNITED swing. It is a compliment he hag paid to Canada, and a testimony he has given as to its value. It you will allow me I will mention a little anecdote that was told me by a Toronto gentleman, an old colleague of mine, Sir Wm. Howland. A good- many years ago Sir William was travelling eastward from Windsor on the Great 'Western railway, and there sat in the seat before him two Ameri- cans, countrymen of his, as you know, whose conversation he could not , help hearing. These men were paying their first visit to Canada, They were ignorant of what Can - ado, was, and after looking out of the win- dows one of them said, "This is nob a bad country." A little further on -the first man said, "This is a pretty good &entry." "Yes a rather good • country," Was the reply.° Still further on the first man said, "This is a very good country "—and I could make the anecdote a little more spicy. (Laughter.) I could put in all the little ad- jectives that garnished the conversation, but I am afraid there are BOMB clergymen tier?, (Loud laughter.) At last one said, "This ie a very good country, and we must have It." "Well" replied the other, "1 would not mind having the country, but we would be obliged to take the infernal people too." (Loud laughter.) You see it br the know. ledge of Canada in the neighlicairing Repub- lic that makes them anxious to take tho country, including the infernal people them- selves. (Laughter,) tut we will not be indeced by Mt. Butterworth. As the song runs, 'Will you weak into my parlour 7 fiaid the spider to the fly. No, sir, I thank you, I am no curiositye," Cheer e and laughter.)

After taking this medicine, two or three monhe, lie was pronounced a well man. Hft health remains geed to the present day. ' J. S.

The toads had grown fat and clumsy through imbibing the sweet- ness of many' a honey bee. I had not the hardihood at that wierd hour to reinove their monstrouti stomachs or to think of counting the number et bees they had slain. Sometimes after taking a bee in its mouth, , a toad will give a sudden twinge and look astonished as if it could say—" 13Iess my soul, how hot his little foot le I" One day this season James called me into a certain back yard where sat, close up to a greasy bone, three small toads, elbows light- ly touching. Every moment a fly alighted on the bone, whereupon one or other °Labe toads snapped it up. The number of flies that eaoh consumed must have been simply enormous. When a toad is satisfied with his conquests and wishes to retire from view, he betakes himself to a softish plot of ground, and giving a sweeping Or,swimming motion with each of his feet, removes the earth from beneath his body. After a very few efforts the body sinks below the surface of the ground. Another effort and the fresh earth is forced .up and drops lightly on the crea- ture's baok. In an exceedingly short time the toad has disappeared, but at intervals the earth moves slightly an the delver goes clowh. • Until this hot summer of 1888 I had sup- posed that toada reveled in het. This season I had good evidence that, like human beings the toad has no fondness for the heated" term, but that lie appreciates the luxury of ice in midsumtner. My friend Phillips has his ice.chest in his north porch. A small lead:pipe conducttffe water frern the melting ice beyond the floor of the porch, where it drops two or three feet to the ground. One hot day it July, I saw a toad sitting beneath ,the pips, end enjoying a bath �f /08 wattr. As the deys went on, the number ot toads increased until one,, sweltering day In Augueb when the mercury "tee etood at over 100 degrees in the shede I f counted 13 toade huddled close up to the spot where the ice water wad dripping.' The crown of my hat would almost haves:levered the whole of the snug party. The water was perfectly pure and oold, and not an iesect did I ever, tlee about the (Italia so that 1 feel positive that the toads were not there eeelef ing food, In the very center of the group, with kgs sprawling, and body flattened, ect BS 90 re00iVO the cooling bath to the best advantage, was by fax the largest toad of the 13.
