A well-known brilliant entertainer who has just returned from a five years' tour in Australia, has many amusing tales to tell amopg which is the following: "I was ordering my advertisement in a. Melbourne daily newspaper office one day," said' the narrator, "when a tall, lanky countryman walked in and said he wanted an "In Memoriam" notice in the obituary column of the paper. "My ole gav'nor died a year ago," he exclaimed, "and I should like a bit o' poetry in the paper about him." "All right" answered the clerk:. "have you brought it with you?" "No," said the rustle; "can you fix me 'Certainly" replied the clerk. "Our charge for 'In Memoriam" notices is six shillings an inch." "A look of intense amazement passedover the countryman's face. "Good gracious 1" he cried, as be made for -the door, "I can't afford that; my guy'nor was six feet high." An Advertiser's Dreain. A certain merchant believes thonoughly in advertieing, and the result is he has' the biggest business' in his town. Indeed, he works so much on week days that when he goes to church on Sunday, as he always sloes, he generally goes to sleep am soon as the preacher gets well started into his ser- mon. Not long ago a visiting clergyman filled the pulpit-, and our friend, being unaccus- tomed to him, slept rather uneasily, start- ing up every now and then as the minister grew emphatic and almost shouted the words of truth at the congregation. When the preacher called out : " Brethren, why stand ye here all day idle t" " Because they don't arlvertise," sung out the half awakened merchant ; and the way his wife grabbed at him and shook him into a sense of his situation almost broke up the meeting. Questioning a Witness. An American advoe,ste badgered &witness until he lost his temper. The witnese in- cidentally said something about a cat, and the crusty lawyer seized upon this u a means of still further worrying the witness. " How old was the cat ?" asked the attor- ney. " I don't know," was the answer. A TEA -GROWING PARADISE." The Home of Li 57 tEYLON TEA Every leaf is full of virtue. Every infu- sion is delicious. Sad in lead packets only. '41c, 40c, 50c and 60c.

" I tell you don't want a plain 'answer to a plain question. How old do you think that cat was ?" The witness looked straight et the attorney, whose shining bald head was the most prominent feature of his figure, and said calmly,. " Oh, I can't guess how old the cat ,vas ; but she was old enough te be bald- headed ?" • Personal Sarcasm Generally Don't Pay. There is a great temptation to people somewhat gifted in thht direction to in- dulge in sarcasm ; and it sometimes requires considerable determination to -mist doing it, but as a general rule it don't pay. When I first entered good old Dartmouth college I was appointed to represent our clue in a debate with a member of each of the other classes, and the Junior, opposing -disputant, thought he would (and did) make considerable laughter at our expense, by quoting Milton s " Paradise Lost." He finally closed by saying that " for an • angel, I had accomplished very little in the way of 'argument." " I brought dotrn the house • with cheers by simply replying that " I believed I had accompliehed one thing that had never been accomplished but °ace before in the history of the world, and that was when an angel opened the mouth of Baleam's ass." During the rest of hie college course it was not uneommon to hear him called -.out to on the foot -ball ground, " Go it, " But he never spoke to me again hem that day, and probably remembered it ageinst me all the rest Of his life. It would have been better not to hive said it. Sarcasm, generally don't pay, unless it be of the pleasant kind nsed by an Irishman to his employer—a coal dealer—who proposed to discharge him because " Re couldn't learn him anything," " Well, I've learned one thing since I've been with you," said Pat. " What'a that?" " That eighteen hundred make a ton." Pat was retained. • Consecrated to his Work. As the world goes, the first question in making a choice of a calling is, " Which one pays best ?" But earth and heaven measure human work in very different ways, and devotion to a right service is never repro- senttd by the dollars it earns or by the hon- ors it brings. Dr. S. A. Steel, of St. Louis, nays that he began hie career as a preacher with a for- tunate lesson. One Saturday, while a student in Henry College, he was riding over -the mountains, to fill a Sunday ap- pointment at a village church, when he fell in with Doctor White, a veteran minister. Doctor White was a man of fine appear- ance, eloquent, scholarly and high bred, but the huinble work he was engaged in had his whole heart. The two men travelled side by side, con- versing pleasantly together. Doctor White made some reference to a call he had re- ceived to the presidency of a college, " You have accepted the call, of course,' said his young companion. The position was one of high honor, in- fluential, conspicuous, and commanding a rnuch large salary than his present support. Young Steel could not disguise his astonish- ment at such a refusal. B1 ut the doctor's reply silenced him. Gazing far away over the panorama of lovely valleys and majestic hills, he -said gently . Aly brother, I would rather preach Jesus to the simple -hearted people living in these mountains than be President of the United States." Twenty years afterward Doctor Steel had forgotten—he says—his college lessons in psychology and logarithms and Greek roots, but the lesson that the brave old clergy. man's answer' had taught him never' faded away.— Youth's Companion. • n Observant Youth. " Now, Bobbie," said the teacher, " spell pipe." " That's right. And now tell. me some, thing about pipes. What do people do with them ?" " Well," said Bobbie, thoughtfully, " boys blow bubbles with 'em ; plumbers put jem in ; Sciitchmees blow music out of them ; Scotland blows music out of 'em ; and men like Pix smoke 'elm It all depends on the kind of pipes you want me to tell you about." ' Man's Intuition. Mr. Goldfogle has a daughter who is past 30, homely and unattractive, and he and his wife had years ago given up hope that she would ever have a chance to change her name. A day.or two ago, when he came home to upper, his wife said joyfully Our Jennie has an admirer at last. Mr. Simpson, the stock broker. sent her a big box of candy and asked her to go with him to the theatre to -night.

A British contemporary mentions an in- teresting. experiment which wire tried by a progressive newspaper; the aim being to show in how short a time the entire pro- cess of paper making and printing could be accomplished; A poplar tree in the forest, was taken as a beginning. To chop, chip and load in a boat the necessary quantity of wood took three hours ; manufacturing of pulp occupied twelve kours ; 'making the pulp into paper Wok five hours ; transport- ing the manufactured paper to the news- paper office eighty minutes ; while, to finish up with, on the paper thus produced with the utmost speed, one thousand copies of the journel were printed in ten minutes, making in all for the whole process, from inceptton to completion, just 24 hours.— Paper Digest. Millions in Bread Crumbs. One of the richest men in Paris made his fortune out of bread crumbs. He • bought the waete and stale bread from the kitchens of hotels, colleges, etc.,and pulver- ized them afterwards working them up into bread and' cakes for the trade of the poor communities. The idea was at first carried out on a small scale, but it gradually grew until Chapaliere as his name acquired a very large fortune and an immense business. • The Digestion of Stable Edibles. Boiled rice will digest in one hour ; if boiled in milk, hoWener, it requires two hours ; if eaten with unboiled milk, two hours and fifteen minutes. Rem egg will digest in about one hour and a half ; fried, three hours and a half ; soft-boiled, three hours ; hard-boiled, theee hours and a half. The wkite and yellaw should be served to- gether as one assist"! in the digestion of the other. Salt beef requires four hours and fifteen minutes. Beefsteak, broiled, three howl: Stewed oysters, three hours 'end a 'half. °rotors require a. longer time , to di - gag than broiled meat. Boastveal requires five hours for perfect digestion. Pork the same. Suet pudding is supposed to take five hours and a half.—Mrs. S. T. Rorer in Ladies' Home Journal. • Keep the .Day Holy. belie if this republic gives up the Sabbath we are going to have anarchy. One hundred years ago France and Britain stood abreast in the march of nations. Where do they stand to -day ? France undertook to wipe out the Sabbath and has nearly wiped itself out, while Britain belts the globe, The whole influence of the Sunday Reiser is a,golnst keeping the Sabbath holy, and there is not a judge upon the bench to -day but will tell you that the first downward step is Sunday desecration. They tell me the Sun- day paper has come to stay and I had bet- ter let it alone. Not much ! I believe it is a great evil, and I shall fight it while I live, and I have sworn my two eons on the altar to keep up the fight after I am gone.—.D. L. Humors of the Irish Tenant. A maiden lady who possesses considerable property in Ireland had, until quite lately, got on very well with her tenants; she being of a most benevolent nature, and always only too ready to do all in her power to ben- efit them. When the agitation spread for enough to include this lady's property, the agent called a meeting of the tenants and reminded them of all their landlady had done for them ; _amongst other things he mentioned a school which she kept up free of oharge, except that in winter each child was to bneng'asod of turf for the , fire, A few days after the meeting a deputation handed in a written answer to the agent's remarks, and, referring to the free school, stated it was " an acknowledged failure, since the curriculum did not include instruc- tion in the French and Latin languages !" • Remarkable Testimonials.'

A significant event receutly occurred in the Philadelphia Hospital Training School. There happens to- be a strong prejudice against the admission of Canadian nurses. Which is not to be wondered at as they are so well trained as to be able to alasorb everywhere the beat places to the exclusion of American nurses. But notwithstanding this prejudice in the Philadelphia echool a solitary Canadian girl was admitted, and provoking to relate, she carried off last week the gold medal offered to the best graduate. She is Miss Minnie Watson, of 122 Scollard street, Toronto. We expect to hear of a duty against Canadian nurses in the revised tariff, but if that is not done soomrthe Canuck lassies- will have secured all the best placer', while the Americans will be "nursing their Wrath to keep it warm." Canadian American, A Raw Potato Cures Drunkeness. A man prominent in the affairs of Dun- kirk, says the Buffalo Courier, relates the following incident " One day, two months after I had signed the pledge, I had a crav- ing for a drink of whisky, so strong that I could see nothing else but drinks about me, arid felt am if I must have one drink, I told a friend of my state of mind. He said : 'You need not drink. I can tell you of a substi- tute that will stop your discomfort. Get a bowl of ice -water and a raw potato, peel it and out down one end of it convenient to take in the mouth. Dip the potato in the ice -water and suok it every time you think yeti must have the whisky. I did as he advised • I took the bowl .of ice -water and the potaio and placed them on a table at the heed of my bed, and would dip the potato in the water and place it between my lips every few minutes, until I went to aleep, I awoke free from any desire to drink whisky, and have been tree from it ever since. That one treatment eradicated my craving for Whisky for all the time that has since —The Premiers of all the British colonies have been invited to be present during the Queents diamond jubilee, It is stated that Mr. Laurier has already' accepted: —Mrs. Seager, mother of Mr. Seeger, police magistrate, of Goderich, died at Port Dover on Thursday, 28th ult„ aged 75 years. the Rev. 0.

In Lenbach's Studio. For years he worked in an -unpretentious back building on the site where he has DOW erected the magnificent house of which his brother, well knoi in his special branch, was architect.

An uuceasing and discrimiinating collector, Lenbach has filled his house and studio with objects of testhetie, and historic in- terest. There are niarble statues and friezes of ancient Greece and Rome, busts, and bas-reliefs dating • from the renale- tutnce, crucifixes and reliquaries breathing the mystleataftlatus of the middle ages, priceless and historic brocades, ruge and hangings from the east—everything from the beautiful shell grotto adjoining the studio, with its elaborate mosaice, to a rare bit'of brocade from some suppressed monaetery, giving evidepce of the unerring taste of the master.

This -to dispute is a folly of which only puerile agnosticism. will be guilty. The documents bearing on his life and death have, therefore, an exceptional petition among the records. purporting to chronicle events or to speak of the career of hero oi-warrior. This, as much as any other e,onsideration, has prompted modern Xlew testament science to the effort to fix, if poesible, the earliest and most authentic text of the new testament writings. Greek man- uscripts and the quotations found in early church fathers did good service in this direction; but the critics were also powerfully aided by the old translations, that often preserve a text different from that of our Bible and, often nearer the original Vain. Three years ago on Mount Sinai an old Syriac version was discovered whichi as it now appears, shows most strange de- partures from the received text of the gospels. Of Syria's translations of the. Bible or New Testament no less than five had been known before the diecov- ery of this last palimpsest. When ha 1858 Cureton published, from a very Old mann- soript fragments from a new Syriac ver- sion of the gospels be -and many echolars supposed to have at last the original form of Matthew. In this they undoubtedly erred, .but the Cureton text could peewits the inest ancient translation extant. Now, however, even this is doubtful. The new find has many striking similari- ties to ,the Cureton readings, but has many pasages that are strikingly dissim- ilar. A few of the departure from our verion are most remarkable. The most noticeable, however, are these: Chapter -1. of Matthew, verse xvi. reads: "Jaen% begot Joeeph; Joseph, to whom Virgin Mary was betrothed, begot Jesus;" versenie "She shall bear unto thee a, son," and verses xxiv. and xxv. "And he,took his wife ' unto himself 'and she bore him a son and he called him Jesus." The supernatural birth of Jesus is thus denied in this version. This indicates that the translation originates from Ebionite circles: Up to the fourth Chris- tian century there existed in the east Jordon dietricts of Palestine thelanguage ef which parts of this Syriac translation recalls, oongregations of Ebionites or lqazarenes, that denied. the supernat'ural birth of Jesus. These must have been the translators whose work an acoldent laid into our hand. At all events, this new Syriac version is very old, and will be a great helnito New Testament criticism.

A Hamilton Lady Undergoes an Experience and Relates the History of a Severe Trial. Mrs. James Grahsro, 280 James street north, Ham- ilton, wife of the well-known grocer at that address, relates the following circle -minutes". Mr. and Mrs, Graham have resided in Hamilton for the past fourteen years, and are very well and favorably known : Mrs, Graham says : " During the six months prior -to taking liiiburn's Heart and Nerve Pills I had a serious trouble rutting 'from wron action of the 153 heart And nerve". One of the sym me was that I could notlie en my left side, for it did so my heart throbbed so violently as to give me great pain. The smallest noise or the slightest exertion would start my heart palpitating terribly. It was impowible for me to go up a short flight of stsire without stopping to real and regain - my breath. I was excessively nervous, and my limbs. would trernble as it nith ague. My hands mid feet were unnaturally cold, and 1 coffered from sharp pains in the back of my heed. The shurraing of a door would nearly set me wild. Frequently I would wake up frighteued, and then was unable to get to sleep again. I lost flesh, and hecausayery weak and despondent. I felt miserable in mind and body. " For six' months 1 have been oonstantly taking medicine, trading that it would help um, and for a time was Under the oar* of.a physician, but all the efforts I Made towarde a cure was of no seal!. My physician. Rosily told sny husband : ' You know there is no cure for heart diaeilse,' which -made me morn -despondent than ever. " Six week" ago I was induosd to try Milbum's Heart and Nerve Pitts, and from that time my re. Maranon to health dates. I have taken four boxes which I bought at John A. Barr's drug store, -corner Junes and Merriek-etreete. These pills are the only niedicine that has done me any good, or given me relief. I am happy to - say that they proved that the doctor was mistaken in "eying that heart disease could not be cured. Since I com- menced taking -Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills I have been daily getting better. I can now go uth stairs without trouble and atteni te my deity duties without the elightest themes. I have gained iu flesh, in health and in strength. My blood is healthy and circulates freely. Lyiog on my left side causes me no inoonvenience or psin, and / en- joyehealth and restful sleep. My nerves are etrong an ' igorous, and there has been such a radical e ange for the better in my condition that I can say these wonderful pills have practically made a cons- plete cure.
