"Welllwife, I'm bank from church, yott see; Too bad you couldn't go, For what the preacher said would sure Have done you good, I know. He told a woman's duty plain; How they should patient be, And bear the cares and ille of life With due humility. He spoke of dress, and I do wish You could have heard him when He preached about the Bufferin' poor And needy missions; then He told about the sinful waste Of money time and strength That wimmen spend upon their clothes— Ile dwelt on that at length. I thought of you, and how I wished That you were there to hear His mind on foolish fashions, for He made it all so clear. Ton don't have mach? why no; but still You'd like to, all the while; You've got a taste for finery, And hankerin' after style. But then you ain't entire to blame, For wimmen's minds is weak; So, as the preacher said, they ought To be both mild and meek; And such adornment's quite enough For them. But I declare, The very ones he sought to reach With warnin' wasn't there. The sermon not for men, you say? C yes, 6p lilt' £lie"m;'ioo; -'" ,.:,...• How some were hard and miserly— I thought of Jason Drew; And some were mean and quarreleome— I wished Joe Trent was there. He would have thought of that line fence, And all he made me bear. And then he preached of selfishness, And bein' harsh and proud, And it did seem he re'ly spoke My very thoughts out lond: But my! that sermon won't half pay For all his pains and care, Because the ones it ought to reach And profit was not there." WELL KNOWN LON ON PEOPLE SAY: Mr S. F. Glass, London Pottery Works, says: —"No testimonials can be too strong to express the beneficial effects I have ex- perienoed from the use of R. Stark's (Head• ache, Neuralgia and Liver) Powders per- sonally and in my family, as they have af- forded me perfect relief from the most dis- tressing sick headaches which frequently incapacitated me from doing business. I know of others equally benefited. I consid- er them one of the most useful medical combinations of the day." Mr H. C. Paterson, of Messrs Masuret & Co., wholesale grocers, says: —"I have found Stark's Powders for Sick Headache, Billlousnese and Liver, to afford immed- iate and permanent relief in every case." Mrs L. G. Johnsons says:—A most valu- able remedy. The result has always been satisfactory." Price 25 cents a box: sold by all medicine dealers. WHERE ALL METALS BOIL. When the great Foreman shaft was finished at Virginia City, Nev., some curious observations were made on the temperature from the surface to a depth of 2,100 feet. At 100 feet it was found to he 511 degrees, and at 200 55 degrees, an increase of ,4) degrees. This rate of increase in ternperature did not hold good for the entire depth, however, for at 1,500 feet it was found to be I01 degrees, and at 1,700 feet only 1044 degrees. At the very to lest level in the great shaft (2,100 feet) a Frahremhett thermometer stood at 11l“ degrees. In 1879 • the German Gwvarrilnent commenced to sink a chart, for the express purpose of ascer- tairring the rate of increase in the t.eurperatute of the earth's crust. The work was discontinued at a depth of 1,172 feet, the rate of increase in temperature being set down as aver- aging 1 degree to each' 35 feet of de- scent. A writer in summing up the series of such observations, says the increase is 1 degree for each 80 feet in dept h. Rev. Osmond Fisher, in a very remark elite work entitled "Physics of the Kir h'4 (;rust," says that "the rate of l u•reu.e in temperature as the dis- tance beneath the surface is augment- ed is. en the whole, an equal one, and may he taken to average 1. degree for each 51 feet." Figuring on the last statement as the most reliable, we find that a depth of 30 miles below the sur- face all known materials and roots are in a state of red-hot fusion.

ODD THINGS EATEN•BY BIRDS, Some very odd things are come across by the ornithologists who are engaged in examining the stomachs of various kinds of birds, for the purpose of ascertaining{ what they eat arid how much of the crops they destroy, In the stomach of a, crow wasfound a warbler, sus the Boston Transcript. The stomach of the warbler coptained a caterpillar, and the traces 'of the vegetation on which the latter; had fed were clearly discerned under the mic- roscope. Another .oddity` discovered in the stomach of a crow was a rubber elastic band, which had evidently been picked up by mistake for a worm. Once in a while a bedbug is found in the stomach of a woodpecker. Doubt- less the insects are got from pine trees. Pine cones Are often infested by bed- bugs,. which must have lived on those trees long before they became human parasites. Ticks, too, which„,_ likewise breed on trees, are discovered'pceasion- ally in bards' stomachs, ;:' though so rarely as to suggest that the feathered creatures are Afraid of them, and would avoid them psis a, rule. The insects 1n a bird's stomach are ordinarily counted by their jaws. For example, caterpillars have soft bodies, which are quickly digested, leaving their jaws to be gradually ground up and disposed of in the gizzard. The jaws of beetles, caterpillars and grass- hoppers are made of one ot the most enduring substances in nature being nearly as hard as the teeth o mam- mals. They are very characteristic, so that the difference may readily be told between those of a cricket, a grasshop- per, a locust, etc. The jaws found in the stomach of a bird are counted and divided by two, which gives the num- ber of insects represented. Cuckoos are the only birds that eat hairy cater- pillars so far as is known. The horny linings of their gizzards are sometimes found so thickly perforated by the sharp and strong hairs; of these insects as to be actually "fuzzy" when dried. Not long ago a crow from Oregon was examined, whose digestive apparatus contained a beetle of a rare species, so rare that the specimen would have been worth $15 if it had been in good condition. THE ORIGIN OF TEA. it is difficult nowadays to imagine how the Japanese managed to live without tea; everybody drinks it at all hours of the day, and the poorest peo- ple rarely get a chance of drinking anything stronger, and yet it is, as things went in old Japan, a compara- tively recent introduction. Tea was introduced with Buddhism from China, and though some plants were brought as early as the ninth century, it was not much grown until the end of the twelfth. Daruma, an Indian saint of the sixth century, often represented in Japanese art eithet crossing the ocean on a reed or sitting,a monument of patience, with his hands in his sleeves,was the father of the tea plant. After years of sleepless watching and prayer, he suddenly got drowsy, and at last his eyelids closed and he peace- fully slept. When he awoke he was so ashamed of this pardonable weakness that he cut off the offending eyelids and threw them on the ground, where they instantly took root and sprouted into the shrub which has ever since had the power to keels the world awake. —Harper's Magazine for Sep- tember.

Larke, of Oshawa, late Can- adian commissioner a,t the World's Fair, has been appointed a commercial agent under the Department of Trade and Commerce, to visit the trade cen- tres of Canada and elsewhere, for the purpose of obtaining reliable informa- tion respecting the particular line of goods•which Canada can -profitably in- terchange with Australia and other countries. When his enquiries are completed in the Dominion of Canada, it is expected that Mr Larke will pro- ceed to Australia to prosecute his in- vestigations there. Early this month four prisoners in the Central Prison were awaiting pardons. They were convicted of lar• cony, and each had a couple of months to serve. The men were Geo, Swartz, of Walkerton; Alex. Nardeau, of To- ronto; John Sullivan, of Hamilton, and Wtn, Norris, .>f Hamilton. On Aug 7 Warden Massey received from the De- partment of Justice official papers, one of which was a pardon for Norris. With a glance at, the other papers he saw the namesof theotherprisoners,and, thniking they were pardons also, order- ed the men to he supplied with the cus- tomary clothing and liberty. Norris was the only one pardoned, it seems, and the document stated that the Min- ister could not recommend clemency in the other cases. Warden Massie then proceeded to hunt up the men, and George Swartz was arrested in Walk- erton, but the other three men have not been caught.

A young couple were stopping at one of Detroit's leading hotels, and trying to pass off for people who had been married for years. He- had even read the morning paper at the breakfast table, and when she addressed him, h+i,dd said in a brutal manly way: "Haven't I asked you not to disturb me when I am reading." But she came ver y near betraying herself when Sha asked him if he ate sugar on his sliced tomatoes. How- ever, he carried it off very well, for the waiters and guests at that table all heard his answer. "Did you ever know me in all the years we have been married to eat sugar on my tomatoes?" he asked brazenly. She gigled, but turned it off with a sneeze, but not before she had seen one waiter wink at another, as if he knew more than he cared to tell. The climax came later. They went out together with the eyes of bellboys, hall porters and clerks fixed upon thein. There was a shower coming up, and she was struggling to open a new umbrella. "Here," he said brusquely, in his role of an old married man, "let me open it." He gave a mighty wrench and it flew up. At the same time a shower of rice descended from the in- side of the umbrella, and covered them with its tell-tale particles. "Bride and groom," commented the crowd, as the crestfallen pair hurried off, denouncing their friends who ha thus conspired to betray them.

In the summer of 1864, several wound ed officers and two or three private were going up the valley of Virginia A rain came on and all hands too shelter for night in a school house. II happened that in the course of the night a skunk found its way under th floor, and by and by announced its pre sence after its well known effective manner. The officers all waked up,. but being gentlemen, and each suppos ing that the others were still asleep, they kept silent. At last one of th privates, a German, could restrain him• self no longer. "My ! my!" he exclaim ed,.".Dish_is.too bad l..,_.Uey_shleeps,and I wakes and I ish got to smell it all !" No appetite?

Major Brown's command was march ing a hot and dusty` road in Souther' Pennsylvania. Orders were very stria against foraging. but in spite of them soldier suddenly sprang out of the ranks in pursuit of a tat gobbler stand ing among the sumach bushes on the roadside. The turkey started off in hurry, with the man after him. Major Brown called out angrily: " Halt What do you mean ? • Halt 1" A few hurried steps, and the soldier laid the turkey low with a blow from his rifle barrel. "There, dum ye!" he exclaimed as he picked it up. "I reckon you'l understand that when the major say halt he means halt !" The receptions of a certain Prussian general's wife were for some reaso uncongenial to the youths under hi command and unfrequented by thein. The general, a strict, martinet, was imprunent enough to reproach them with their shortcomings in this matter and to demand a change in their man- ners. At his very next ball, when all the guests were assembled, the tramp, tramp of marching feet was heard up- on the staircase, the door was thrown open, and there marched into the room a whole corps of cadets, who, with their young officer at their head, halted, and stood at attention. "What is the meaning of this?" shouted the general. "The first corps of cadets, to dancing commanded!" replied the youth, ealuting as on parade. "Take them away!" screamed the general, beside himself with rage. "Right about face, march!" was the calm and unmoved answer, and the cadets marched out, in the same order as they had entered. On one occasion a member of the House of Commons made use of the phrase, "King, lords and commons, or" —directing his gaze toward Mr Pitt— "as that right honorable member would call thein, "Commons, lords and king. ' Mr Pitt rose with great deliberation and called to order, "I have frequently heard in this House doctrines which have surprised me," he said, "but now my blood rune cold. I desire the words of the honorable member may be taken down." The clerk of the House wrote the words." "Bring them to me," commanded Mr Pitt, in a voice of thunder. By this time the offending member was thoroughly frightened. "Sir," he said, addressing hitnself to the Speak- er, "i am sorry to have given offence to the right honorable gentleman, or to the House. I meant nothing. Kings, lords and commons; lords, king and commons, lords and kings; tria juncta in uno. I meant nothing; in- deed 1 meant nothing." Mr Pitt then rose and said gravely: "I do not wish to push the matter further. The mo- ment a man acknowledges his error, he ceases to be guilty. I have a great regard for' the honnfrable member, and as an instance of that regard I give hire this advice, that whenever he means nothing, he will say nothing," u ;nat 31; /89 Sere, There and Everwllere, An amateur oculist in Michigan made a glass eye for his spaniel dog.

Every morning 2,000 male and 600 female scavengers, divid eel into 149 brigades, turn out to per- form the toilet of the capital. The men work from four o'clock in the morning till four in the evening, less two hours off for meals, or ten hours a day. The women work in the morning only. During a discussion lately in Aber- deen Presbytery, of the plans of a new church at Powis, Rev W. D. Scott, of the South Parish, said that there was no use blinking at the fact that there was a certain model of church arrange- ments being thrust upon them at the present time, the good old Presbyterian pulpit being displaced by a fashionable chancel with a pulpit in the centre.
