Prof. Henry Drummond, LL. D. Five years ago, the Chaistian workers - gathered at the Northfield, Massachusetts, meetings welcoming to their "midst a young Seotchman, - then thirty-five years of age. HAI addresses in time meetings and else- where, especially at educational centres, awakened great enthusiasm. Those who heard from the lips of the _speaker, in its first form, ' " The Greatest' Thing in the World," did not wait for the hearty com- mendations since given by thousands of readers before they recognized the power of that analysis of the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians. But the -speaker was sure to have inter- ested audieuoes, not alone because of what he would do, but because of what he had done. His letter of introduction had gone before him in the shape of his " Natural Law in the Spiritual World." a book that had leaped at once into prominence, and whose title had for months been on the Hps of many- The two lines of thought in the work indicated the two lines ot study to which its author had given himself. To the education gained at Edinburgh and Tubin- gen he had added a course of study at the Free Church Divinity School. Ordination and mission work at Malta had followed. But the chosen work was not in the pastor- ate, but in connection with a professorship of science in the Free Church College at Glasgow. Geological study prompted to travel, The Rooky Mountains 1%d attract- ed the young scientist to America in com- panyfriend, with his Profs 'o Geikie - Professor Japan and Australia have beenP r visited by him. Among the subjects of his addresses while in America were the explorations made ou a visit to Africa in 1883 in behalf of the Lakes Navigation Company. Oae fruit of these travels was the publication of " Tropical Africa." Although so much is being written on the "Dark Continent," the wealth of information, the conciseness, and the• powerful style of this brilliant sketch has won for it a wide popularity. But Professor Drummond'e name is linked more prominently, in the minds of most persons, with his religious than with his scientific work. His birthplace was at Stirling, and through the zeal of his father and uncle the family name has been honor- ably -connected with Christian enterprises in that vicinity. When Professor Drummond came to Northfield, he was not making, but renewing, an acquaintance with the evan- gelist who has made that town so widely known. Fourteen years earlier, he had read before the New College Theological Society a paper maintaining the necessity of adding to preaching constant spiritual work with individuals, which course,, however, the essayiet confessed that he had not then been able to put into practice. A few months later, Mr. Moody and Mr. Sankey were in Edinburgh, and with such earnestness did Henry Drummond enter upon the work in the enquiry room, that he was invited and persuaded to spend two years in company with Mr. Moody as he went from plaue to plane holding meetings in Greet Britaic. Since that time young men especially have ever found a he'pful friend in Professor Drummond. Glasgow students hear him during the week in the lecture room, but Sunday after Sunday has found him stand- ing in Edinburgh before a class of students numbered by hundreds. Many conversions have resulted, and a mission movement has been organized. The head of that work h is also been closely connected with thee," uni- versity settlement " plan, by whiCh is is sought to bring to bear upon the pdrer and working classes the best influencerd from educated men. Whether as wrier, edpeaker, or man, Pro- fessor Drummond shows the traits that at- tract and move men. With a figure that tells of physical strength ; a refinement that speaks in fastidious carefulness as to drtss art well as in the delicate features of the fade ; with an eye alert and flashing ; a clear voice well managed ; a oordial,sinoere, sympathetic manner ; fresh thought ; pun- gent and clear style ; a quality of mind that recognizes the desirability of cultivating the humorous aide of one's nature ; and, above all, earnest Christian manliness, it is no wonder that Professor Drummond is a favor- ite with eo many.—Golden Rule.

NEW TORE, Ii. Y, Sold by J. S. ROBERTSi Druggiet, Seaforth, RESULTS REACHED, AT THE WISCON- SIN EXPERIMENTAL STATION. The Best Way to Get Rid of the Trouble le to Cheek the Growth of the Horns on the Calf—How the Operation in Perform- ed on Fully Grown Animals. There are many farmers who would gladly remove the horns from their cattle if they were not restrained by the thought that getting ready to perform the operation carried with it the necessity of attending to a long list of details, or providing specially prepared facilities, as for instance, a chute for securing the animal, or some particular form of saw. While I do not wish to depreciate the use of improved facilities for performing the work, still the man who keeps only a few head of live stock need not feel that it is too much trouble for him to dehorn his cattle him- self. Undoubtedly the most satisfactory way of dispensing with the horns is to check their growth on the calf. For thisi purpose I have successfully used Caustic potash. It is sold in sticks about the size bf a lead pencil, and may be obtained at any drug store. Five cents' worth will be sufficient to dehorn six or eight calves. The best GETTING READY FOR DEHORNING. time to kill the horn is when the calve' are from three to six days old, or as soon as the little horn button can be definitely located. :With a pair of scissors clip all the hair away from the embryo horn. Dip a finger in water, and moisten the horn, dry the fingers and, after wrapping all but the lower end of the stick of potash in paper, to prevent the fingers com- ing in contact with it, hold it as one would a pencil, and rub on the horn. All portions of the horn must be treated. During the process of applying the potash, the horn must be kept moistoned, but great care should be observed not to put on so ,much r water as to cause the dissolved potash to run down the calf's head;' and cause un- necessary suffering. When the horn taken on an inflamed appearance, and the skin that covers it has become loosened, it will be evident that it has received sufficient treatment. This application, or indeed that of any other fluid prepared to accom- plish the same purpose, does cause some pain, but it does not last so long, nor is it as severe as in the case of the mature ani- mal, when the saw is employed, Fig. 3 shows the result of an application of a pre- pared dehorning fluid to the one horn only, the other horn in the cane of each animal: being left to develop naturally. When chemical dehorning compounds are used care must be observed to keep the bottle tightly . corked with a rubber cork, otherwise a second experiment with the same bottle, after it had been open fol+ several months, might not be very satisfactory. If caustic potash is used it will be necessary to- bottle it up tight to prevent the moisture in the air from dissolving it. - Next to checking horn growth on the calf,, the only resource is the saw, and while this operation may appear as an act of cruelty, it is a remarkable fact that the criticiam on the practice come almost wholly from persons who have no practical experience in the management and feeding of cattle, while its exponents are the men who know hill well that more cruelty it ,directly traceable to the wearing of horns ' by cattle than can be charged against their owner by his act of depriving them of their useless weapo.is. When horns are to be removed by means of the saw, I prefer to .0Sinborns � bffe.e The Infidel and the Minister. A very learned minister preached a series of sermons on infidelity for the benefit of a very learned man in his church. There were some eeven sermons, and he rendered_ thorn to his entire satisfaction. Soon after he got through the infidel sante to o him, said ho was a Christian,and accepted the Lord Jesus Christ. He was very much gratified. He to all the credit to himself. After it was all talked over, he said : "Now, my dear friend, will you tell me which of my lectures it aas that convinced you?" He said : `, Sir, it was not any of your lectures. It was that pcor, hobbling, color- ed woman, who, when she cimeout, would mutter among her tears, ' 0, my precious Saviour, my precious Saviour, 1 could no live without you !'.and I watched that wo- man and saw that it came right straight from her heart. I did not hear all that you said,but I was -deeply attracted by what she said, and convinced."—Christian Alliance. A Poor Preacher. " Weel, Janet," raid one of the elders of the Carbally Parish Church, the other day, as he met old Aire. Kittlebody in the village street, "hae ye had a ca' frae the new minister yet ?" ", Ou ay," returned the old lady, somewhat shortly. " Ay," con- tinued the elder, " and hoo are ye pleased wi' him, na ?" " Oh, juist middlin', juist middlin'," replied the dame with some acerbity. " I canna say I think very muckle o' him." " And what mak's ye hae sic a puir opeenion o' him ?" inquired the church officer, iri his most insinuating tone. " Weel," was the reply, "I dinna think he's muckle guid o' a minister, for every Sabbath since be cam' he's prayed for guid weather, an' it's gettin' wetter than ever." JERSEY COW A HARMLESS DEKORNED JE11SEY BrTr;r._ animal ror uenorning is illustrates. The animal is placed in an ordinary stable stanchion, except that the precaution is taken to have it braced very securely. A pair of light double pulley blocks is then theceiling fastened to a little in front and to one side of the animal's head as it stands in the stanchion. A heavy five -ringed halter is placed on the animal's head ; the pulley hook is then fastened to the halter, and the head drawn up as high as it can be. Owing to the block being hung to one side of the center the animal's head is turned sideways ; when it is drawn rp, this posi- tion enables the operator to get at the horn conveniently. The horn should be sawed off clear down to the base so that there will be a rim of hair left on the severed horn. As soon as one horn is removed the assist- ant releases the rope, the pulley block is hung up on the other side of the animal and the operation repeated on the remaining horn. The operator- should have an assistant whose duty is to draw the animal's head up and hold it while the work is being done. The 'rope should not be fastened, but held in the hands, so that the head may be re- leased the - instant the horn is off. The operator should, when all is ready, work with all the vigor possible, and not hesi- tate and stop - because the animal moves about a little, A carpenter's saw, such as is .used for light finishing work, with a blade about eighteen inches long, I have found the most satisfactory for my own use. It should be very sharp and have but little set in the-teeth.—American Agriculturist. WITII ONE BORN REMOVED BY CHEMICALS. wait until they are fully developed, for it has been my experience that ugly stub horns will surely be the result when half grown horns are sawed off. If the work be properly performed on a mature animal there will be very little further growth, the horn will soon round over with a hard shell, and rarely ever grow so long that it will not be covered by the hair on the head. Twelve cows had their horns sawed off March 16, 1888. From the data obtain- ed at the time the twelve cows were dehorn- ed, it was found that there was a slight falling off in the milk yield during the twenty-four hours following the operationr_. and. an increase in the fat. There was also a slight increase in; the temperature of each animal, denoting a slight degree of fever for a few days after the operation was performed. All of the animals struggled more or less, while the work was being done, and there can be no question but that itis painful, but the work can and should be done very quickly. In no case, by actual observation, did it require more than half a minute to -remove a horn ; :n a few cases it only took five or six strokes of the saw. As soon as the horns were off the animal was released, and bran was immediately placed before them to see if they would eat. Only in one instance was it refused. The loss of blood is usually slight;but it is not uncom= mon for one or more fine streams to spurt out from the horn for fifteen or twenty minutes. I have never yet found it necessary to put anything on the horn to atop the flow of blood, or to as- sist in healing. The work may be safely done at any time except during the hot months when the flies would be trouble- ws[e. A supple method of securing the IMPORTANCE OF THE NERVES. The Complex System Which Connects the Brain With All Extremities. There are very few persons who have even a slight conception of nerves as they exist and - of the part which they are tri play in the affairs of life. The nerves are the "wheel of fortune," and any little inter- ference with their( cogs means- a deflection from the normal.; The nervous system be- gins with the brain and ends at every ex- tremity. Little lends of systems of com- plex composition* are the telegraphic and the transfer agents of every impression transmitted to the central station. Nerves are simply the exponents of impressions, and are not responsible for what they trans- mit. Nerves start from the spinal cord, and incidentally the brain, and accord- ing to the Baltimore Herald are simply agents of more important matters than the various senses which they sub - serve. The nerves are subject to external influences which lire not regulated on a monetary scale. They are masters in every sense of the word. They may maintain their energy for years, or they may serve their time of duty and degenerate. - While they hold their sway they regulate life ; when they get tired they are useless. The life of the nerve is a matter of idiosyncrasy. One may preserve an ideal for many years and another for as many months. ' It is the temperament and the individual which act as a balance wheel. Nerves are subjected to every influence of wind and weather, to sensations of sight, hearing, tasting, feel- ing and smelling ; they have to attend to every function opf the body and to regulate the affairs of'life. - Iron can bear in mind that impressionis have to be received and re- ported it would not require much reasoning to�'be convinced dist the lines of . delicate tissue which attend to this work require a little rest, as well as do the other parts of the body, and they are human as well as energetic in the performance of duty. The nerves of the eye, of the ear, of the hands and feet, of the,nose and mouth, are sensi- tive bodies, and convey simple sensitory impressions which have been recorded by the brain. These impressions are {photo- graphed andidcposited in recollection and form the basis of dreams. The nerves of the body, which have nothing to do with sensation, control the muscles, both volun- tary and involuntary, and preserve the secondary part of existence. They make you walk, move your arms and in general keep you going. Other nerves, not con- nected with the muscles or muscular exer- tions, waste their exertions, waste their energy on the various functions of life. Chinese Theory of Evolution. The Chinese have as old ideas about the earth and the origin of (man as they have about other things with which they, as well as ourselves, are etteracquainted. Accord- ing to their way of viewing the matter, the rocks of the earth are the bones of the divine body; the sail is the flesh, the metals the nerves and veins. The tides, winde, rains, clouds, as well as frost and dew, are caused by the respirations, pulsations, ex- halations, etc._ , of this seeming inanimate d. beOriginally, according to their idea, the mountains rose to the skies, and the waters of the seas and oceans covered the moun- tains to their tops. At that time there was no lite in ! the Divine t 1 body, except the Divine 1 life. By degrees the waters subsided and small herbs began to grow, and in the lapse ot immense cycles of time, these herbs developed into strong shrubs and trees. As the body of man, unwashed for years, breeds vermin, so the mountains, unlaved by the seas, bred worms and insects, greater creatures al- ways developed from the lesser. In the course of untold ages beetles became turtles, earthworms became serpents, and highflying insects became birds. ilfice developed into wildcats, and ;the wilds' is into tigers ; the mantis was bet degrees transformed into an ape, and some of the apes were finally born hairless. A hairless ape playing with two flints accidentally kindled a fire by striking them together. - With the fire thus obtained he cooked food, and the eating of food thus prepared made, him more strong and intellectual than his fellow ape. With all their faults, who will say that the Chinaman's theories of evolution are not as reasonable ts some of the ideas advanced by the Darwinians ?
