-A writer gives Several. instances of
, the discovery in hens' eggs of mintite
specimens of the distoma ovatum. They
appear like a small speck, the size of

lieved by helminthologists that these de-
velop into a species of tapeworm.
-The recent stormy weather especial-
ly that on Sathrday and Sunday last

A few weeks ago the little girl, who is
nine years old, saw two or three drunk-

and her paroxysms of grief were well
nigh uncontrollable. Soon afterwards
her hair began to tuna gray, and now it
is white.

woman of prepossessing appearance,

delphia, valued at $115,000,000, 11
square miles of land on the banks of

Col. Baker settled near Ottawa in 1801,
and did not know of their father's de-

left the estate. Their children were
also igiacirant till recently of the wealth
awaiting them.
-It is thought that a good deal of
theeiekness prevalent in Montreal at
the present time is due to double win,
dbvvs and the consequent want of ven-
tilation. An incident is related in
whieh a horecepathic clootor in that
city figured. Having called upon a pa-
tient who was suffering, he thought,
from the want of fresh air, he raised up
the inside window, and finding the
double window still preventing the. en-
trance of the fresk air of heaven, he
raised his walking -stick and smashed a
pane of glass. This rather startled the
patient, but indelibly impressed. upon
her mind the doctor's 'prescription.
young woman, who lately served
out a senteuee of five years in the
Bangor, Me., State Prison, found. means
of education, and becoming thoroughly
reformed and a Christian left the prison
in appearance a lady. She was employ-
ed by a dry goods firm in Portland as
saleswoman, and gave -perfect satisfac-
tion to her employers, till one day a
wealthy lady of the place entered the
store and, recognized her. Calling the
proprietor aide, she told him that the
girl had been in the StatePrison. He
replied that he kuetv it, but that she
had done her duty faithfully, and that
they wers well satised with her.
"Well," said the lady, "if you keep her
in your store, I will neither trade with
you myself nor suffer any of my
frieuds to if I can help it." So the pro-
prietor, rather than lose his customer,'
called in the poor girl `and discharged -
her.
-Mr. Samuel A. Rodgers, of Barker-
ville, British Columbia, has arrived
home on a visit to his friends in Lon-
don. Mr. Rodgers left Barkervillo on
the 17th, of July iu company with a
friend, to reach Manitoba by an; over-
land route. They had witEi them ft )ur
horses and provisions wliieh they sup-
posed would last them six weeks. They
fonud the route over the Cariboo range
of mountains one of unparalleled 'diffi-
culty and. danger, aud for about ten
days curiug the trip they had little
hope of ever reachiug their destination.
So tedious was the journey and so
great the difficulties to be eucountered
that they ran oat of provisious, and for
five days had to subsist Otatiroly upon
the flesh of one of their horses which
they killed. Affer passing the Rocky
Mountains they fell in with a party of
five travelling m the same dieectio11
with nineteen horses. Joining forces
with these, they were able to make the
•
rest of .the journey with leas difficulty
and danger. After a romantic and
- perilous journey of two thousand miles
they reached Winnipeg on the I6th of
November, or four months after start-
ing. Mr. Rodgers describes the great
country through which he passed as
possessing almost every possible variety.

resources of wealth to future °Migrants.
-A land owner in Santa ,-Barbara,
.Cal., has seven acres of tuberoses in full
bloom. The fleivers are sold when
fresh to florists for decoration, and to
druggists for making perfumery. The
bulbs find sale for planting in gardens
elsewhere, and are larger and finer than
eastern grown bulbs. Theae tuberoses
receive only ordinary culture, aud yet
some of the clumps have sent up 20
and 30 flower Stalks, ranging from three
to four feet high. The bulbs were
originally procured from the East. Only
five hundred were planted some three
years ago, and they have multiplied
thus wonderfully.
-The Montreal Gazette's commercial
tells a story on Saturday of a
blindfolded judge of butter, who was
taken int6 the cellar of a provision mer-
chant, who stated -he had some Kam-
ouraska butter there which could not
be distinguished from Eastern. Town-
ships. The judge was given several
samples to taste, and. one he declared to
be Eastern Townships, another Brock-
ville, another Kamouraska, and so on
until nine distinct kinds of butter had
been detected. "But," says the writer,
"upon his sight being released from
bondage, he beheld on the cellar floor
before him a package of genuine Kam-
ouraska bored nine times, which he had
ca,llecl by so many different names."
-I have heard that in the desert.
when, the caravans are in want_ of wa--
ter, they are accustomed to'esend on a
camel with its rider some distance in
advatace ; then, after a little space fol-
lows another, and then, at a short in-
terval, another. As soon as the first
man fmds water, almoit before he
stoops_ down to drink, he shouts aloud
"Come !" The next one hearing the
voice repeats the word "Come !" while
the nearest again takes up the cry
"Come I" until the whole wilderness
echoes with the word "Come I" So in
that verse the Spirit and. the bride say
first of all, "Come !" then let him that
hearetk say "Come!" and whosoever is
athirst let him come, and take of the
water of life freely. -Spurgeon.
-The other day a veiy stylish
brougham, with cornet on panel and on
harness, and with coachman and groom
in orthodox leathers, boots, and dark
livery, stopped at the door of a fashion-
able West End London bank._ Inside
were two ladies, one young, the other
old. The groom jumped off the box,
touched his hat at the Window, and re-
ceived a slip of paper from one of the
occupants of the vehicle. He took it
into the bank, and presented it to one
of the tellers. It was a cheque of the
Dowager Countess of W., for $1,250.
The teller asked where her ladyship
was, and. being told that she was at the
door an.d wished to communicate with
ohe of the officers of the bank, went out
to speak to her. The elderly lady ask-
ed him to give her $1,000 in £5 uotes
and the rest in gold. This was done,
and it was not until the next day that
the signature was discovered to be a
forgery.

They give to all, who will faithfully use
them, the society, the spiritual prese

-In. Oxford street, London, tte other
day, a lady left her cab to get the name
and mimber of a carman who was cruel
to his horse. Immediately she was sur-
rounded by a rude crowd, who, first by
jests and then by filthy, remarks, stroVe
to frustrate her intentions. She, how-
ever, never flinched, until she was
thrown down on the pavement, mauled,
and, though uninjured, her silk dress
was besmeared with mud, a police con-
stable who was present being apparent-
ly unable to resist the violence of the
crowd. At this moment a -gentleman
managed. by much energetic elbowing
to force his way through the roughs and
pick up the lady. He got her into the
cab, and with -the aid of a police in-
spector the driver was taken into cus-
tody and charged it the Marlborough
street Police Court, where he was con-
victed of the act of cruelty. And this
in one of London's chief West End
thoroughfares..

Salt should always be put in the last
thing in any soup, stew or frioasse,
when milk is used, as it is apt to cur-
dle. Oysters should never be boiled,
but only scalded, as it makes them tough
and shrinks then all up. If they are
to be stewed heat them hot, but don't,
boil them; always have the soup or
gravy hot.
In making pearl barley pudding, put
a quarter of a pound of barley intu three

The Price of Wheat.
The value of wheat in the Canadian market is -
controlled to a great extent by the foreign de-
mand. If crops aro short in Russia, France and
India, England must bay more Canadian wheat,
and the price consequently advances.
Buttheprice of Wilson's Compound Syrup of
Wild Cherry neverchanges. A twenty -live cent
bottle will cure any ordinary Cough or Cold and
give marked relief in old standing oases of Bron-
chitis. In hundreds of eases 50 cut bottles have
, cured Coughs and Colds, which have been proof
against all other remedies, and the proprietors
positively claim that a $1 Bottle will- eusure a
large familyagainst anainst . any danger ifrom Croup,
Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, Otittirrh, Loss- of
Voice, Coughs and Colds, and all kindred diseases,

This is no empty boast, but a fact which has
already been proven by thousands of Canndian
families to their entire satisfaction. •
