Did Hie Duty, A NEW`PERPEEANOE 001.1011Y. Feeding the Slok, It le rarely easy, and almost always vory Ball tonlb, to persuade bhe eiok to take nour- ishment in aufiieient quantity, and the sue- +oeeaful nuree must be Hoe In expedients, flier persuasive power must be great, She muab be patient, and yet firmly persistent, =El her whole duty le done. There are certain general rules for her to observe, A few of them we will give. All foods for the sink should bo of the very beet quality, well cooked, palatably seasoned and attractively served. A savory dint will always sharpen the appetite of one In health, end it must have a abimulating influence upon a delicate patient, to whom the flat and insipid pre• ?paratione woolly offered are loatbeome and even nauseating. Surprise le frequently a useful element in the thetetio treatment of the sick. Some- thing unexpected will often he acceptable, when were the patient consulted end ed - mimed of what was being prepared for him, it would take away all appetite for it, Cook- ing in the eiok room i0, of course, always forbidden, nor should the emelt of food be 'allowed to reach the patient if it is poraible to prevent it. Absolute neatnees in the service of food is a prime consideration. Where ie moro to the patient in Olean nap. Irina, spotless china, etc., than many think, • . slovenly nuree is oub of plane anywhere. 1.1 the doctor direote that certain foode bo given hot, he means that they should be hot, and not merely warm, in which eon - clition some are very insipid. Ocoaeionelly one seen the nuree tasting the food in the presence of the patient—a most unpardonable habit. No moro food ehonld be at one time taken into the sick. zoom than is likely to be eaten, and whale ever is not eaten should be at once removed. Warne often leave it in eight, in the hope that the patient may want I0 a little later, but almost invariably they are disappointed. Itis quite a common thing for the physician to find milk in a glass or pitcher standing near the bedside of bin patient, and often the appearance of the glass is such thab even a person with the etrongeet kind of/ a stomach would not care to drink from it, Of all foods, milk probably takes up impel. - hies the easiee0. Hence, to keep it exposed to the air of a sick -room or any other bad air is to simply render it unfit for use. A nuree with anything approaching neatness would never allow a glass which has held milk to be treed a eeooud time without care- fully washing and rinsing. Some consult their own oonvenienoe altogether too much in feeding the eiok, Food ought to be given at regular intervals when possible. Freta aerood and Medicine, Of ell the fruits with which we are blessed, the peach is the mon delicious and digesti- ble. There is nothing more palatable,, wholesome and medicinal than good, ripe peaches. They should be ripe, but, not over -ripe and half rotten ; and of this kind they may make a pard of either meal, or be eaten between meals ; but i0 is better to make them a part of the regular meals. It is a mistaken idea than no fruit should be eaten at breakfast', Ib would be far better if our people would eat lees bacon and grease at breakfast, and more fruit, In the morning there ie an acrid state of the secretions, and nothing ie so well calculated to correct this as cooling sub acid fruits, snot es peaches, applee, etc. Still, most of ma have been taught that eating fruit before breakfast le highly dangerous. How the idea originated I do not know, bub it is certainly a great error, contrary to boti reason and facto. The apple is ono of the beat of fruits. Baked or newel apploa will generally agree with the mon delloate 'stemmata, and are an excellent medicine in many cases of aicknees. Green or half -ripe applee stewed and sweetened are pleasant to the taste, 000ling, nourishing and laxative, far superior, in many amen to the abomi- nable doses of salts and of usually given in fever and other dimmer, Raw apples -and dried applee stewed aro betier for eoneti -.notion than liver pills. Oranges are very aoeeptable to most stomachs, having all the advanbagee of the acid alluded to ; bub the orange juice alone should be taken, rejeot- lag the pulp. The eatie may be said of demons, pomogtanates and all that alaee Lemonade is the best drink in fevers, and when thickened with anger is better than syrup of squilla and other nauseants in many ,oases of cough. Tomatoes act on the liver and bowels, and are muoh more pleasant and safe than blue mase and " liver regulab ,ore.' The juice should be used alone repot lag the skins. The email -seeded fruits, such se blackberries, figs, rasperriee, aurrante and atrawberriee, may bo cloned among the beet foods and medicines. The sugar in them is nutritious, the acid is cooling and purifying, and the seeds aro laxative. We would be muoh the gainers if we would look more to our oroharde and gardens and lees to our drug stores, To euro fever or act on the kidneys, no febrifuge or diuretic f8 superior to watermelon, whioh tnmy with very few exceptions be taken in aioknens and health in almost unlimited quantities, not only without) injury. but with positive benefit. But in using them, the water, or juice, should be taken, excluding the pulp ; ,and the melon should be fresh and ripe, but not overripe and stale.—[Hall e Journal of health. How to Dieinfeot, Clothing whioh requires dloinfeoting should be submitted for about three hours to a temperature of 230 degrees in a chamber 'charged with sulphuric fumee from a large quantity of sulphur, The chamber should be so constructed as to prevent the tomes from , passing off. No germs can stand this. After a room nee been used by a person .eiok with any contagious disease, it becomes neeneary to dieinfeot it before it is fit to be used again, Thio is done by romoving and burning the paper on the walla, removing the bedsteads and other furniture, and exposing them to air and wind, and giving them a fresh coat of varnish ; by having the tnattrese made over new and the hair boiled ; by burning in the room three pounds of sulphur, and by white -washing, painting and papering the room anew. Now that it is generally conceded bhab aoneutnption le caused by germs whioh multip y in the lunge, a mobhod of diainfeot- ing than, which ehall bo harmless, has bean sought for, bub ao yob without avail, tChe vapor of creosote, the oil of the eucalyptus and carbolic acid have been tried, and, to some extent, they may paralyze or stun the germs and prevent their rapid Moron, but as the passages of the lunge aro delicate, mid the vapor cannot be lbrougbb very neer to them without injury, the good effects are slight, Bub there ro one method which eetnobfail t0lorove bone• toile, and bhab le the inhalation of large quantltiee of froth, pure air, iChle le Worth More bltaniauy disinfectant for the lunge and can dolma herrn, A'Fiuilish .newspaper le to be Slatted .at Iieughton,,Mieh, It should nover oonbain at,00trenuedenorp • aseleatheisteum The free and easy marmot In whioh the trial of Sullivan wee conducted ab Purvle, Miss, the uan/etrioted tendenoy of the crowd to lionise the millet and the unmistakable trend of local opinion gave litalo aseurenoe that the affair would be more than farcical; but to the surprise of alt, the jury found a verdict of guilty, and now the presiding judge has vindicated the dignity of hie office and hie own manhood by eentenoing the pugilist to one year's imprieoumenb ab hard labor, the extreme penalty of the law. Had he Impend lighter punishment he would have been shamefully derelict in duty, bub a knowledge of the prevalent sentiment In Mieeiesippi and of the vagaries of its justioe did not tend to fortify public confidence and had Sullivan moaned with a nominal fine, it would have occasioned little enrpriee, A petition signed by over one thousand people inoluding the sheriff and the jurymen, praying that Sullivan bo re. lamed with a One was a formidable doom meat, peoulia$ly eo in that seotion, but Judge Terrell poeeeeeed the courage of hie oonviob one in an eminent degree, and uncle. tarred by the sbrong influenoe brought to bear, dieoharged hie duty faithfully and manfully.

Ab with punishment they could well afford to smile, but imprieonmenb at hard labor ie an entirely different mentor and the consternation of the plug-ugly fre- ternity le easily imagined. It is poeeible that legal ingenuity may yeb defeat the oxide of juebioe, but every right-thinking man Will devoutly hope that nothing will impede Sullivan'e progress to the penitentiary or ehorten his stay in the asylum which should have received him years ago. The man le an habitual law breaker and a corse to society. •de is a fair represenbive of all that is vicious and depraved, and hie unusual strength as a pugilist hae enabled him to exert a moat pernicious influence, far reach. fug and tenacious. The hulking rowdy, droukard and wife -beater le a disgrace to civilization and it ie gratifying to know that at last he is to be planed with the oonvicted criminals where he belongs, Putting Down Drunkenness. Woadera have been done by bhe Danish police, it le said, in putting down drnnknness ab least in the streets. Itis nob your brutal patrol waggon method. No, it le the out- come of a refined and civilized age and an educated policeman. If the Danish ooneba- ble on his beat comes across a drunken men he firab gets his address, then hallo a oab, politely assists the inebriate into it, and drives off with him to his home, and after ringing the bell deposits the unhappy in• dividuel in the arms of hie family. If the man is too drunk or oannob remember hie addreoe, he its driven to the police station, and the following morning a froth oab ie hired by the constable to drive the victim to hie home. " But who pays for all these Dabs?'' the anxious inquirer demands. The publican who supplied the man with drink le made reepousibie. We do not advooate this polite method for Canada, but just mention it to show whet oonetabulary courtesy can do. In the abate of Georgia the antithesis of this treatment is proposed for the auppreseton of ebreeb drunkenness, A bill has been introduced into bhe Leglela- mre making ib a misdemeanor for any person co geb drunk excepts on hie own premises. The bill provides thab if a man does get drunk elsewhere than on his own premises he shall be fined $10 and imprisoned ten days ; if ho does ib again the fine must be $21 and twenty days' imprisonment, and the find thereafter for each offence is cumulative.

Be- tween the 13bh and 20011 of June every year, after the seed is all in and oared for, comes the famous "manure-herveeb,"—the inmate. school. Caplin are a small fish tomothicg like the American white fish. They are smaller than herring but muoh larger than sardines. On the pebbly beaoheathab fringe the magnificenb bays of Newfoundland, they find natural and oongenielepawniuggrounds', About the middle of Jane, io obedience to the great and universal law of Nature,—the in• oroaee and multiplfootioo of 8p00100, —they some in immense shoals, --in millions upon millions,—to deposib their spawn upon the pebbly sea -shore. Their mode of depositing sho spawn is such ea bo leave them ab the mercy of the innumerable hordes of fishes and fishers that prey upon them. The female is small and smooth, and the male ie large and ridged. When spawning they swim in throe, one female between two males ; the female fits botween the ridges in the males, end they swim parallel, almost as one fish. The males by their preeeure aid the female to deposit her epawn, and at the same time they drop their "milb," whioh fruotifieo the spawn. I6 is during this time, while the fish are apparently half•dezed, that the fisher- man and farmer reap their harvest. They °etch them with seines and eaet•nets. With a seine, four or five men in a akiff can easily geb from flfey to ewe hundred bar. rely of them in a day, The method of sein- ing them is, when the capita are close to the beach, one end of the seine le fastened ashore with a grapnel and the other end is kept aboard the skiff. The orew row around the great body of oaplin and fence in bhouaends of barrels against the beach, They then dip them out with dip nets and geb many skiff loads—from thirty to fifty barrels in a load,—in one haul. They' then land them on wharves or on the beach and haul them away to their farms, where they mix them in the proportion of one load of oaplin to five loads of peat, bog or olay. Thie makes a very etrong manure, and as it euppliiee neary all the elements of plant food, it forma heavy crops of all kinds. Fishermen also catch them and use them as bait for oocfish. They are a delioiono morsel when eaten fresh, and there Is a fortune for the man who solves the problem of getting them into bhe American markets au fresh and ae deli - clone as we get them here, When sensed or smoked they make a very good article of food for winter, and many a poor family preserves enough for We, and to feed themselves, their pigs and hogs for a whole year, till the next oaplfn-eohool arrives. Of course, ae a manure, they are a godsend to the farmers, many of whom have scarcely any other means of procuring fertilizer in suffioionb gaantibien for their lands. Bub when looking ab the thousands upon thou- sands of barrele of froth, delicious fish, 00 used, i6 name almost sinful to deetroy euoh quantities of wholesome and toothsome human food, when 8o many inilllone of the raoe would eat them with a relish if they had the chance. W. J. 0., Villa Nova, Newfoundland. A Joke that Rebounded. The Mieohelt " Advocate" says :—A oom- merolal traveller, since the elevation of Bishop Wateb, of London, to the Aroh- bishoprle of Toronto, ie reminded of an doe marrows some yearn ago in a railway oar, in whioh his present lordship took part, An irreverent traveller asked Biehop Waleh, probably nobknowing who he was, if he had not heard that in Parse as oftoh ae a priest was hanged a donkey was hanged ab the mime time, The proposeed victim of the joke replied in the blandest possible manner, Woll, then, lot Us both be thankful that we are not in Poria," Pine Steamships, HOUSEHOLD. The City of Now York, exoepb that oho i built with a view to reoord brooking, le vory muoh like any other 00050 steamship, bat the Teutonic, its au innovation, She is the first of several traders ordered to be eon - tinned, and subsidized by the State, that in oath of emergency will co•opertte with the navy, She reoo0tly book part in the naval review off Spithead and was much admired by the Emperor William, The Teutonio to a magnifioenb vessel—longer than any other ship bhab ploughs the deep, and as ornate and luxurious as a Hosting palace. Her saloon of ivory and gold will Beat 300 guests, gad when Illumined with the Mende lighb, to fairylike in Ito splendour. There is similar lavishness in her library, with its huge oases of well ohoeen books, and equal taste in her emoke•room, with its rioh fiebinge, delicate decorations, and its impel - log paintiogo of old world navies. Her beautiful lines, her enormous engines, her brilliant lighting are all without previous model's, though they indicate very clear- ly the direction of England's advancement in the future. Except for size and adorn- ment, however, bhere is not much to distin- guish the Teutonic from her ongoing oom- petitore. In length she be 582 feet, in depth 39 feet 4 inches, and in breadth 67 feet 6 lnohes; while oho can boast a dieplaoomont of nearly 10,000 tone, Her hurricane deok, whioh le of great height, is between 80 and 90 yards long, and be unimpeded by the boats, whioh are all above. At each end of the voseol are strong batteries of Armstrong guns—breechloaders with 6 inch bore; and their efficacy may be gauged by the fact that they peasant a range of five miles, and can pierce half a dozen inohes of armour when at close quarters. With suoh an equipment sho should bo able to beat off at least fifteen out of every twenty asseilaoto, and in the presence of oraf b with heavier metal ehc can always show "a Olean pair of heels." In a general way the Teutonic will rank as an ordinary liner, but it is part of the compact with the authorities that she shall be ready to obey the Admiralty sum- mons whenever called upon. For thin pur- pose, a portion of her crow are naval reserve men, and, in nee of danger, they will nob fail to make her an armed cruiser in feet as well as in name. A Vile Plot Frustrated, A remarkable interposition of Providence is on record in Paris. In 1766 a young peas- ant girl went to Paris and was hired as a domestic servanb by a man whose reputation was excellent, bub who was a hypocrite and a libertine, Ile made improper propoeale to the young girl who refused bo understand hie moaning or give him any encouragement, This so enraged him that he had her arrested for theft, and secured her conviction by hid. ing some jewelry in her trunk, The prisoner had no friends to intercede for her and was hanged. The executioner was a novice, bungled over the work, and after repeated attemnb to kill the girl imagined he had succeeded, and handed the body over to a dissecting surgeon. The firab out with a knife showed that the girl lived and she was quickly restored. When she opened her eyes she imagined herself in another world, and it was some time before she could be convected of her escape. Her description of what she saw during her apparent death was listened to with wonder and amazement by her new found Monate She told of lovely parterres with beautiful streams flowing through end round them, of flora end fauna of dazzling gorgeousness, of perpetual sun- shine and unmeasurable happiness. The young girl had'iived a proealolife, was poorly eduoated, and bad no imagination at all, if the chronicler is to be credited, and her revelations are the more remarkable in con- Beeman°a The eeoundrel who compassed her ruin was arrested, bub acquitted on technical grounds, bub the people "loaded him with well•merited reproaches." Apple Fxporte. A nd now it is apples. The exports from America to Great Britain in the last fiscal year reached a total of 1,401,382 barrels. Of this cruelty 481,766 barrels were forwarded from the port of New York, and 380,176 barrels from the port of Boston, Halifax sent 95,122 barrels, and Annaeolie only 9,119 berrele—the total less than one. eighbh the quanty of New York and Boston shipments. The United States apple grow- ers, it will be seen, are nob only supplying their home market, but beating us all hollow in the British market. And yet certain Grit papers have the audacity to toil our farmers and fruit growers that all they need to make them prosperous be nnreetrict• ed reolprooity with the States 1 Ib is clam Haab there is little market in the United States for our apples, but fortunately there is an almost unlimited market in Britain. While we have been grasping after the shadow, the United States pproduoere have been reaching out for the substance. If the Grib preen had been in bhe pay of Canada's enemies, the most ingenious could scarcely have devised a policy so well calculated as the advocacy of unrestricted reciprocity to stifle enterprise and prevent our people from adepting themselves to the ohanged 000di- tione of the world's markets•—[Moncton Timeo. Perfumes. An interest, an individuality belongs to the parsons who attach themselves to some fine old scents, once fashionable but nearly forgotten, and who 0ome to be known by the boquot de.

A Girl's Toilet Articles, A senaible girl will not keep a lot of ooe- motion and drugs on her toileb sable, but there are a few articles she should always have in te oonvenienbplace. Sheeeould have an array of glass stopped bottles oontainbeg alcohol, alum, camphor, borax, ammonia and glycerine or vaeelioe.
