A Noted Cell. In torinection with the cell in Holloway jail, wheee Earl Russell will aerve his sen- tence for bigamy it is said that it was for- merly occupied by the Beglish journalist, T, Stead, and the noveliit, Edmund H. -Yatee. The affairs- in which they were en- gaged, although they -caused a tremendous sensation at the titne, are now almost for. gotten. Steed, it may be remembeaed, was largely in the eye of this country about six years ago as the author of a book, " If Chriat Should Come to Chicago," that was regarded as so blasphemous that the big news corn - rules refused to handle it, In 1884, Stead crested a remarkable commotion by alleging that English society was permeated by the most horrible immorality. A body of gen. tlernen, composed of some of the most emin- ent in the kingdom, sifted his charges and the result was that new laws were proposed -and passed regulating the subject matter of his allegations. In proving them, how- ever, Stead was guilty of a technical viola. Con of the law, and for this he had to un. dery prison detention for three months. The offense• for which Yates was impris- oned took place in 1874, and consisted of an .alleged libel in his newspaper, the World, on the Earl of Lonsdale. While nob the writer of the article himself he refused .to divulge the name of its author and so sub- jected himpelf to penalty, Only a Little Backache.

A census whicili has just been completed in British India has brought to light the ex- traordinary fact that there are in that coun- try 1,116,638 persons who, fast. and remain entirely idle during nine `Months of every year. These persons are members of- the Jain sect, and their homes are in Bengal, and in tho provinces of Gazerat and Rejputana. Their principal shrine is on the mountain of Pares/lath, near Chan Nagpore, and thither they flock every spring, in order to begin the first great fiat of the year. A Jain can easily live for six or seven weeks without taking even a morsel of food, and during certain festivals it is customary for all of them to abstain from food for two fall months. When they eat they confine themselves to vegetables, for they never kill aa animal, even in eelf-defence„ It is their religion which imposes upon them the obligation of fasting, but travelers say that abstinence from food is no penance in their case, and that even if they were all to become converted to some other creed they would still remain idle and lead a 'se- verely ascetic life for the greater part of the year. • Loss of Flesh. If you flnd yourself falling below normal weight there le danger. The gee of fiat' oils can temporarily aid fat, but will never build up healthy Mesita. Dr. Oheseia Nerve Food acts through the blood and nervotte system, and oarries new life and energy to every nook and corner of the body. It regulates the the variaus organs of the body, makes the appetite pod, adds- healthy flesh, and replacca the tissues wasted dieease. Naturally and gradually thie food cure restores color to the cheeks, inoreaeos the weight of the body mil thoroughly overcomes dis- ease. Women vs. Men. It appears that Che number of women em- ployed in the British post office, including no doubt the telegraphic service, is 34,000. These women have supplanted as many mon, and the same thing is going on in other em- ployments of the lighter and less manual kind. Educietion elso is passing largely in- to the hand& of women, floe without peril to the male character, the speoial virtues of which women can hardly be competent to train, Women are everywhere crowding in- to the universities and trying to supplant men in the learned profeasions. • This ex - elusion of men from employment by women is not the least serious feature of the social situation. The cause in the oaae of Eng- land,is no doubt largellyetnigration,which has taken ofj the men and leavea the women, who, according to Mr. Chamberlain now oatnumber the men by a million. *omen thus left unpaired are under theeiecessity of earning their own bread. But besides this, there is evidently a growing disposition among women, for which -Mill and other feminist writers are largely reeponsible, to become what is called " bachelor women," refusing the burdens of matrimony and ma- ternity, and, as they say, " living their own liven. A bachelor woman can afford to take lower wages than a man, especially if the mam is married. The results, apparent- ly, must be an increased emigration of the men thus deprived of employment, and among those who remain a tendency to re. nounce marriage for want of the means of maintaining a family, which again can hard- ly fail to effect mortality. 'The social effects of emigration are invariable, but those whose feminine sympathies lead them to stimulate " the revolt of women," would surely do well to consider w-hithet the move- ment leads. • Superstition as to Marriage. If you can make your firet and little finger meet over the back of the hand you will marry. Count 99 white horses and a white mule, and the first person you shake hands with you will marry. Look at a new moon over your left shoul- der, and make this wish : New moon, now, ' Let me see Who my future husband is to be ; The color of his hair, The clothes he will wear. And the happy day he is wed to me. ' The new moon must never be seen through the trees when making a wish. A custom known as " sweating eggs " is at follows : Place an egg in front ef an open fire at night and sit in front of it wit hout ,speak• ing. Your future 1' to be " will come in and turn the egg when it is hot. A dumb supper " is sometimes given. Wot e word is spoken by the guests or the hosteas during the entire evening. That night each one who fails to speak will dream of hia or her " intended." Oa the night of the 30th day of April, spread a handkerchief in a wheat field, and and in the morning the name of your future huaband or wife will be written in the comer. How They Laugh. The Chineee laugh is not as hearty or as expreasive as the European or American. It is oftener a titter than a genuine out - beret of merriment. There is little charac- ter or force in it. As for the Arabian laugh, we hear little of hilarioas ring through the ages of mirth in the old world_ The Arab is gen. orally a stolid fellow, who must either see good reason for a laugh or be surprised inte it. In Persia, the man who laughs is consid- ered effeminate, but a free license is given to female merriment. One reads of the " grave Turk " and the " sober Egyptian," but it is not recorded that they bave never moments of mirth, when the fes bobs or the veil shakes under thing." the preasure of some particularly " good In Mohammed himself, Christian writers have noted cordility and tdooseness, and they amp there ia a good, ringing laugh ia the prophet with all his seriousness.

Not al Great Loss. A atory ie just now going round about a ccriain well.known English politioian. For a long time he has been in the habit of buy- ing an evening paper in Westminister on his way to the House, and usually from the same newmpaper boy. One evening, how- ever, by small chance he had not with him the necessary penny for his accustomed pur- chase, and intimated as much to the youth• ful news -vendor. " Never mind," replied the 'Other, " you can pay me for it to -morrow." " But, my boy," said the M. P. solemnly, " perhaps I may not be alive to•morrovi." Well," -answered the boy, simply, " if that is so it will not be a great loss, after all." The legislator looked at him, gasped' and passed on in silence."—Tit-Bits. • . What the -King Wears. King Edward's wardrobe is " immense," due to a considerable extent to the many complimentary naval and military appoint - meets which he holis. About the fit of hie. private clothes he is moat particular. When clothes are sufficiently advanced to be tried on an appointment is made with his tailor— he gives employment to three—generally for eleven o'clock, and the Kidg receives his tailor in his dressing room.' His Majesty has a great dislike to eccentrilpity ia dress, and startling neckties, fancy twaistooate,and above all, a ,profusion of jewellery are etrict- ly " taboo' by him, In Scotland the King wears the kilt, and in the evening he ap- pears in the splendid full dress of Royal Stuart tartan. The silver crnaments he wears with the Highland dress are exceed- ingly handsome and are of great value. What Is Nothing '? An old Scottieh farmer, being elected a member of the local school board, visited the school and teated the intelligence) of the class by his questions. The first inquiry was : " Noo, boys, can ony o' you tell me what naething is ?" After a moment's silence a small boy in a back seat arose and replied : " It's whet ye gie me t' other day for haudin' yer horse ?" • Do Your Best. • " When I was a little boy," said a gentle. man one day to a friend with whom he was talking, "I paid a visit to my grandfather. He was an aged man, and wore a black velvet cap, and knee.breeches with large giver buckles at the knees. When I went to say goedlaye to him he took me between hie knees, kissed me kindly, and then laying his hand on my head, heaved : " My dear boy, I haee only one thing to nay to you ; will you try to remember it ?" I looked him in the face and said : " I will, grand• pa." " Well," said he " it is this ; What• ever yon have to do, always do the beat ydu can." This was my grandfather's legacy to ma. It was worth more than thousands of gold and silver. I have never forgot hia words, and have always tried to act upon them. Made a Difference. " Sir," he eaid to the manager of the store, " 1 want to warn you against that clerk at the ribbon counter. I understand that he has a wife in the east and left her on eccount of his bad habits, and hiercharac- ter, sir, his character---" The visitor became very emphatic and excited. " I beg your pardon," interrupted the manager ; " you were _saying something about his character." " sir, they say--" " Ah, quite a difference, my dear sir ; quite a difference. My friend, such people as you may establish a reputation for a man,' but you can't touoh his character. A man's charaeter is what he is ; his repute - tion ie what peeple say he is, Good -day, sir." . And the young man at the ribbon counter just kept on working and didn't teel a ,tareeze. Perth N otes —A very painful accident happened to ex. Warden Sandereon last week. He was busily engaged sharpening the knife of his binder when the knifo slipped and cut his wrist very badly. It 'was most fortunate that the main arteries were not severed. The wound is abaci one and it is likely to be some time before Mr. Sanderson will have the full use of the wrist again. —The death of Mrs. Violetta. M. David- son, the wife of 1Mr; Archie Moire- of St. Marys, was not unexpected. FOr some time past she has been a very great sufferer from that dread disease, coneumption, 'an affliction whieh she has born with remark- able patience. Her death took place on Saturday, July 27th. Her mother is Mrs. George Swalesy of that town, and .she was born in Whitoehurea. Fifteen years ago she was married to Mr. Moir. There are two children. Deceased *as 37 yeare of age. • e• -•Fire broke out in the Garnett House stables, St. Marys„about 9 o'zlock Thursday morning of last week, 1, In a few minutes after the alarm was gi. en, there were five streams of water' playing oa the building.

Koch, of Des Moines, Iosva, at the residence of his uncles, the Messrs. Goerling. The young man, who was in poor health for some time prior to his arrival there, was advised by his physician to take the trip for a change of air. He reached Kastnerville in very poor health about a week ago, and although he reoeived every care and attention that skill and affection could suggest, It was of no avail, his death coming quietly a little before no in. Ho was a native of that village, having been born there in 1868, —At the home of Mrs. Alex.' Mulheron, of /Vlitchell, on Thursday of last week, her youngest daughter, Margaret Alexina, was united in marriage to Rev. J. I. Manthora, B. A., B. Th., of Parkhill. The ceremony was performed by Rev. (a. C. Little, B. A., of Galt, ootain of the bride, and the bride was assisted by her esteemed friend, Miss Minnie Mackay, of Soaforth, while the groom was supported by Mr. S. Schram, of Parkhill. The happy couple left on the afternoon train and after taking a trip ex. tending about two weeke, they- will take up their residence at Parkhill. —After a trying illness of several weeks, resulting from an ettack of grip in the spring, Mr. Anthony Rowe of Mitchell,' paned away on Sunday mornina, July 28-.h. He had reached the ripe old age of 91 yearn and died on his birthday. Up to the illness that resulted in hie death, the de. ceased had scarcely ever known what it was to be unwell. His habits were simple, his life frugal, and his dealings with his fellow men were strictly honeat and honorable. Before leaving his native land, the south of England, he had followed the life of a coach- man. Coming to this country he bought property and engaged in farming. He was soon able to retire, and by various inveet• manta and money lending he acquired a considerable competence. For the haat 25 or 30 years he had lived a retired and quiet life in Mitchell, never mixing in any public matters but his own home and the seam:da- tion of his church. He will leave money and property to the value of about $25,000, or a little over, $2,000 of which has already been given to the Methodist ohurch at inter - eat as long as he lived, $2,000 will go to the representatives of - old Trafalgar street church, to be applied now to a new parson- age ; a few thousand are to be divided among distant connections and the balance to ehe missionary society of the Methodiat church. News Notes. —The five•year.old mon of Wm. Neal, of Northwood, Kent county, strayed from home Sunday afternoon of last week. He evidently wandered to the railway track near the house and fell asleep between tte rails. The approach of the noon flyer awakened the child, but before he could got clear of the track the train was upon him. The boy was struck and carried upon the engine for several yards, being fivally hurled into the side ditch. He was not found until evening, still in an unconscious condition. The child will die. — While walking with his mother, Tues - .day afternoon of last week, the three•year old son of Mr. John Askin, of Sandwich, near Windsor, was ferociously- attacked by a bulldog, and before the animal could be driven away it had inflicted several severe guiles in his head and face. The dog ern. bedded its teeth over the left eye and cheek, and the services of three physicians were regeired to sow up tke wounds. The child will prrobably be diefiured for life. — Harry Maesey, son of ex Alderman Nathaniel Massey, of Chatham, had a mir- aculous escape from death Tueeday after- noon of last week. While driving over the railway track in that town, he was struck by a shunting freight train. The horse was instantly killed, and the buggy badly de- molished. Massey was carried some 25 feet and throvan into the ditch. He was. badly bruised and cut, but escaped serious injury. —Ontario farmers he.ve recently purchas- ed some pure-bred stook in England. Mr. Carpenter, M. P. P., for South Norfolk, bought some rams at the Cardiff Exhibition, and. 20 ewes from two of the fineet flocks in Great Britain. Joseph Brethour bought some prize boars and sows, and Robert Miller, of Stouffville. got smile ()hake sheep and cattle. W. D. Flatt, of Hamilton', got some Shorthorn cattle, and Mr. J. Davis Selected about sixty head of Yorkshire swine, - — The Saginaw -Lumber Company, which has secured timber limits on the north shore of Lake Huron, are preparing to move their big mill from Saginaw City to the Canadian side. The Cleveland Lumber and Sawing Company have already commenced erecting a mill. They have purchased tim- ber limits in the township of Foster, on the north shore of Lake Huron. Both of these companies have been compelled to tranefer their operations to the Canadian side owing to the prohibition of the exportation of sawlogs. They will give employment to about 200 men. —The residents of King townehipeYork county, are still talking about the exciting experience whioh Harry Legge, one of their number, had last Saturday afternoon at Scroxton's Lake, in Whitechuroh township. The lake is a favorite watering place fqr horses and Mr. Legge, while driving past, stopped for a few minutes to allow his valu- able mare to take a drink. He drove into the water, and, when the horse had taken a few steps, it began to sink down into a large hole, iiking the carriage and driver with it. Mr. Legge barely escaped with hie life, having to swim ashore. He hueried to a nearby farm house to get assistance to .get his vehicle out, but on his return the dead animal and the' carriage were flaating on the surface of the lake. —Some 'days nit Mr. J. W. Curran, of Toronto. was arrested at the instance of the Orillia Export Lumber Company, charged with sending obscene literature through the mails. Mr. Curran had been doing business with the company, and one day received from them a letter that annoyed him. He replied hurriedly on a post -card that if a certain statement was made it was a lie, and qualified the word with au adjective not at all uncommon and se diminutive as the noun; When the cam came before Magis- trate Booth, at he declared that it was too complex a question for. him to de- cide whether the said adjective was obscene or not, espeoially as defendant showed it Bibilical, and, as the easteet way out of the difficultyedismissed the case. Mr. Curran was " discharged without a stain upon his charaeter." — Ontario cows are doing well in the dairy teat at the Pan-American at Buffalo. Re - Pints received by the Department of Agri- culture show that the Canadian Jersey herd led the whole list of competitore, in the weekending July 30, in the 'profit on the prodnction of butter fat. The Cenadian Holstein herd also led in another branch of the competition, the profit on the total amount of solids produced, their figures be- ing $9.35 ir the week, based on nine cents a' pound for solids. The profit produced by the Jerseys on the butter fat for the week was $8 78, the Guernseys, an American herd, being second, with $8.61, and the Canadian herds of Ayrshire, Freneh-Can. adian and Holstain next in order, with $8 08, $7 31 and $7.26 profit, respectively. The returns for the season so far indicate that the Canadian Holsteins will capture the prizee for the net profit on total of solids, and for the profit on solids, combined with the loss or gain in live weight. —Rei. James Livingetone, pastor of the Windsor Avenue Methodist church. of Windsor, and preeident of the London Con. ference, believes that the Gospel should be oarried to the utmost parte of the earth, even onto the race tracks which abound therein. The reverened gentleman does not lack the courage of his convictions, either, and during the race meet last week conduct- ed a prayer meeting at the Windsor race track, which was, to say the least, an. inno- vation. The race track authorities gave Oho necessary permission for the services to;be held, and although the meeting was not advertised, there was a congregation of per. haps 500 persons in the betting shed to greet Mr. Livingston when he arrived. The crowd was a Curiously heterogenenus one, Owners, jockeys, broken-down speou. lators of the turf, touts and stable boys, all were there,' and to their credit be it said, all through the service no congregation of hab- itual church.goers ever gave better atten. tion than they. The " services " were more in the nature of a talk than anything else, and seemed te be appreciated by the listeners. Rev.

"While in one of the restaurants one day," remarked a rotuad, good natured fellow yesterday, "I heard a stranger ask one of the waiters a question that at- tracted my attention because I have often pondered over thename weighty problem. 'Which is the best way to peel a shrimp?' asked the stranger, and the waiter pro- ceeded to drawl out a long eiplanation which aniounted, after all, to the quint- essence of 'equivocation which Dickens put into the mouth of one of his charac- ters—`still, at the same time, to a certain extent and as far as it goes, of course.' Really this problem of the best method of peeling a shritnp is very important to the man who is fond of tickling his pal- ate with these brown dainties. Fashion has practically given the question over to individual taste and simply calls on every, fellow to do the best he can tinder the circumstances. "The nicer properties usually observed ay the well .bred man or -woman at the -table cannot be respected when one sails into a dainty dish of shrimp, and hence ,even the ultra fashionables are extremely, liberal in the matter, allowieg each fellow to use his own judgment. So there are Ways end ways of shucking a shrimp, if I may use a corncrib expreseion. Ask one friend and he will tell ylisti that the quiskest and best_way is to begin at the head and work your way gradually, around the circle to the point of begin- ning. Ask another friend and he will probably tell you to pinch off the tip of the tail first, remove a few of the short claws, and then rip the monster up the back, as the saying goes, until the head is reached, and then. pull off the two side seales that protect the gills—if shrimp have gills—and there you are. He Is then skinned from. the tip of his tail to his dark broWn eyes. One may then pounce upon him without further delay. -"Still another friend will insist that the head should be pinched off first. This, it is contended, will Produce a sort of re- , taxation in the compactness aud rigidity of the vertebrre, loosening the cemented joints, as it were, and leaving the lower part of the body practically unattached to the thin shell which incases the meaty and eatable part of the shrimp. But other men who are equally as well versed in the anatotity of the shrimp insist that just the reverse is true, and that pinching the' head off first produces a certain mus- cular rigidity which greatly delays the ilei.ft.;i1(httigit.process and makes the task more "So there are many ways of peeling a ,Itrimp, and the fellow described in the old saw who waa so stingy that he would S-1:in a flea for its hide and tallow' was confronted by no'more difficult undertak- ing than the average man who sits down ‘vitli.a dish Of river shrimp before him. For the benefit of those who are not ac- customed to handling shrimp at the table Ind who rarely have an opportunity to enjoy this delicacy I would suggest that 'n the -first place they remove the thingo- undo, then pinch off the dofunnys, slit the whatyoumeycallit, and pull it off, and then you have the whole capoodle. But really peeling shrimp is a matter of prac- tice, end every fellow does it in his own way after all." The Credit of a Good Dinner. "Everything," says Yuan Mei, a Chi- nese writer, "has its own original consti- tution, just as eailh man has certain nat- ural characteristics. If a man's natural nbilities are of a low order, Confuciuss and Mencius themselves would teach him to uo purpose. And if an article of food is in itself bad not even I-ya (the soyer of China) could cook a flavor into it." Yuan then goes on to show what care 'must be exercised in the choice of food. "A ham is a ham, but in point of good- ness two hams will be as widely sepa- rated tie sky. and sea. A mackerel is mackerel, but in point of excellence two mackerel -will -differ as much as ice and live coals. And other things ht. the same way. So thee the credit of a good dinner should be, divided between the cook and the steward, 40 per cent to the stewar4 and 00 per cent to the cook." Changing Butterflies. Butterflies change their color according to the heat of the atmosphere. This in- teresting fact was discovered by M. Sand - fuss of Zurich, Switzerland, who sub- jected 40,000 butterflies to experiments under different degrees of the sun's heat. On one occasion, it being unusuaily cold in Switzerland, a butterfly common there took on an appearance of a butterfly tram Lapland. On the other hand, butterflies which were subjected to a higher dogree of solar heat than the normal looked as if they bad been bprn and raised in Cor- sica or Syria. One result of these novel experiments is the production of 'butter- flies of an entirely new tape, some of them being of bewildering beauty. Caught Her. "I am 'Coking for something nice for a young man," said the young and pretty shapper. ,"Why don't you look in the mirror?" asked the gallant clerk. And sbe was so flustered that he man- aged to sell her four different things that she did not want before she knew what she was doing. Hearts Not Trumps. Oldspark—Love, they say, is the pert fume of the heart. Miss Younger—Well, perhaps it is; bat, really, I don't care for perfumery. PLANTS AND ANIMALS AN ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF A BE- LIEF IN THEIR IMMORTALITY. The Conscionioness Displayed by Plant Life and the Intelligence. and Powers of Reason Shown by the Lower Order of Animal/4N, Dr. Thomas G. Gentry In his book, "Intelligence In Plants and Animals," published by Doubleday, Page & Co., leaves no reason for doubt as to his posi- tion in the controversy over the immor- tality of animals. He says frankly: 1 claim not for the lower animals the slighteet equality with man. What I claim for .them is a higher status in creation than is generally at- tributed to them. I claim for them a future life where they will receive a just compensation for the oufferings whieli so many of them have to un- dergo In this. world. Most of the cruelties which are perpetrated upon animals are due to the habit which man has, in his exalted opinion of self, of considering them as mere automata, without sus- ceptibilities, without reason and without tbe ca- pacity of a future. * * * Not alone are we of the upper walks of being made the poseessors of the inner life, bet all nature shares it in common with us, and love is its expression and the method of its action. What are the characteristics of man which justify, which indeed compeb be- lief in his immortality? First, his mind, intelligence, spirit—call it what you will. But does man -alone possess this precious, this indestructible, spirit'? The authoe emphatically rejects the theory. He as- serts that the proofs of the spirit are to be seen in intelligence and in the affec7 tions, that animals possess both and that even plauts show signs of the former. Through the darkness of the earth the slender radicles of nlants innke their way. A stone impedes their progress; ,they turn to right or left before touching it, follow its outline round in an almost parallel course, but never touching. If a worm. burrow or some chink in the grouna a few inches away offers a path which need not be forced, the radicle turns abruptly and seeks it our. lIow does this rootlet at once sense and avoid the stone? How conjecture. the neigh- boring but invisible crevice? There are flesh eating plants, the •dro- sera or stindews. Dr. Gentry says of them: "That these plants manifest a comparatively high order of consciousness there can be no question. Try them with insects or rare bits of meat as articles of diet and in a few hours the leaves will have folded around the food and com- menced their curious process of assimila- tion. alineral substances, such as bits of chalk, magnesia and small pebbles, have no such effect. They seem to ignore these things just as an intelligent animal would if they were placed by its side." Certain minute plants have the power of locomotion. They will abandon an arid spot and creep toward moisture. If n poisonous fluid be placed in their path, they will avoid it; if a nourishing sub- stance be placed at one side, they will wander toward it, Other plants change the position of their ivanches or leaves to - meet ne to avoid the sun. Conscieusness, then, clearly appears in plant life. "It is to plants," says the author, "what mind is to man and animals, controlling their actions when such are for their well being and good. If mind pereists in a future state, then consciousness. which may be considered as mind in plants, must also persist, for it is not likely that the source of all consciousness, which we worship as God, could be unmindful of the least of his ch ren." And animals? Among them we do not have to seek painstakingly for evidences of consciousness. All have that, all have intelligence in greater or less degree, many have reasoning power, some have the qualities which we are accustomed to regard its purely human--affection.unself- ishness, generosity, Inagua nitni ty. Memory is a quality so general in animals that -it is needless to recount here instances. Generosity iS often shown by birds which feed the offspring of ethers that have been slain. The author cites several cases where the fledgelings and their sponsors were of different varieties. Magnanimity. Who hasn't seen a big dog gently set. aside a snarling terrier which he might aenihilate with a grip of the jaw if he would? Sometimes it is shown by brutes to less magnanimous men. So, too, of the less admirable qualities of man—qualities which nevertheless pre- suppose possession of a mind. The ani- mals have most of them. Malice, pride, jealousy, anger, revenge, have all their ex- emplifications in the life of dumb brutes. If they have souls to be Eared, perchance they have sins to be expiated as well. How closely the higher orders of ani- mals approach in intelligence the lower orders of men is clearly shown in this book. For a time the exigencies of the- ology compelled us to regard this gulf as infinite, but one who contrasts the ways of the high bred, well trained house dog with those of some of the more brutalized aborigines will doubt whether the abyss which separates them is so very wide. Animals have some idea of nuMbers. "The crow has been known to caunt as far as the number six, and a dog I once had knew as well as 1 did when Saturday came." There are Aus- tralian savages who cannot equal theee performances. aThe sense of beauty," continues tbe author, "which bas been declared Pe- culiar to men, is innate in birds. Certain bright colore and certain sounds when in harmony exaite in them pleasure as they do ingnen. * * * lf eve are to judge from the hideous ornameuts and the equally hideous music admired by most savages, it migbt be urged - that their (esthetic .faculty was lees highly developed than it is in some species of birds." The author's conclusion may not be shared by all, but all will surely reccg. nize,its beauty: When man v.as placed on this earth, or rather when in the sequence of events. which was brought about. by the prescribed echeme of divinity, he appeared upon the earth, he was given control of all the creatures of God's hands to rule them as his Judgment seemed best. They were a necessary part of the plan of creation. Ood gave the man directions concernirer them and what they are, and we refer to the Amesti- co ted species especially. They have thus been made through man's wise; intelligent and thought- ful eelection. • • • That they will pees into the future life with him, at least such as 'have shown their fitness to endure, there can be no doubt- in the mind of any one who pauses a few brief t110- ments in the rush and turmoil of everyday life and considers the matter with all due seriousness. All existence, as we have eleewhere claimed, is a unit. All life, like all love, divine. There ca s nothing exist that does not contsin some sort of development of soul. There is no eecape from this assertion. Instead of isolating ourselves, then, from the humbler creatures of God's work- manship let us recognize them as our kin and ire elude them in the grand scheme of redemption and as partakers with us in tbe future state of Divine Love and in higher and endlessly higher development and progress. —New York Journal.

The boys and girls of Farringdon have a reputation of being distinctly original. A sixttestandard pupil at one of the schools there was asked to write an essay on " Coal." This was the result : " Coal differs from most other articles of merchandise, for it is no sooner delivered to the buyer than it goes to the cellar. g A ton of coal weighs twenty hundred- weight ; but coal ordered fox delivery by the railway companies makes many thousands weft. " Coal in the fire is alight, but the barge that brings it up the river is a lighter. 0'13ad coal is like a bad husband— smokes, often goes out and does not keep the pot boiling," Our correspondent does not say whether it was a boy or girl who wrote this. From the last part of the essay, however, we see it was a girl. RELIEVES CHAFING, ITCHING OR IRRI- TATION-. COOLS, COMFORTS AND HEALS THE SKIN, AFTER,SHAVING.
