several thicknesses of flannel out of col
water, se it will not drip place between
two fodds of paper, and lay it upon a hot
register or top of a stove. Steam will
generate and permeate the whaleelatii, and
thus the required temperature will be
obtained. Iu this way there is no running
long distances to a kitchen, no burning of
the kande, no uncomfortable moisture in
the bed and no ruffled tempers. A hot
fomentation is beneficial in almost every
acute disease accompanied by severe pain,
and is often of great service in marmite
inflammations. It is more effectuate and
more accessible than any other therapeutic
agent. By quick, prompt and thorough
use seeere attacks of illness are often pre-
vented."-7ierald of health.

Li Ona -armed Ruler of Germany.
There is a prophecy which is widely be -
hayed in by the German people, who are
somewhat suilerstitioue. Germany is to be
the greatest, it says, under a young ruler
who has but one arm, and has four sons.
He is to suceee,: an aged sovereign, carry
on a great war successfully, and prove
another Frederick the Great. The Ger-
mans see in this the destiny of Prince
William, who was born with one arm
partly deformed—short and stiff.. And
they see in his oharaoter all the require-
ments of the prophecy, even down t0 the
four sons. But the power of Germany will
wane after this ruler, and she will go down
and become an insignificant nation. So
runs the prophecy.—St. Stephen's Review.
Not a Parallel Case.

A young German officer, rather new to

Pilar. BL.te&IE, the we11-itnown Scotch -
man, has raised an admiring laugh this
week by his response to one of the numer-
ous inquiries now going the rounds for,
opinions as to the beat books. He was
invited by an editor to name three of the
best works for young men, and he picked
out Green's " History of the English
People," Nasmyth's " Autobiography," and
Blackie's " Self -Culture." He adds a
whimsical apology for naming his own
book, 'but declares he honestly knows of no
better.
fins authorities of Dresden, Germany,
will not allow a piano to be played in a
private house after 10.30 at night, and they
punish with a fine any person found throw-
ing an article of refuse, however insignifi-
cant, into the street. Flagmen are sta-
tioned at the corners of streets intersected
by horse -car lines to warn persons of the
approach of a oar. Drug stores are ,closed
at sundown, and when a druggist is called
up in the night he appears with all the
politeness of a dancing -master to thank the
customer for his courtesy in patronizing
his store.
Poor. WARMAN, in his treatise on oaths,
says: All forms of oath.taking are imma-
terial. The Jew ends with, " So help me,
Jehovah." The Scotohmun says," I swear
by Almighty God as I shall answer to God
at the great day of judgment." A Mo-
hammedan is sworn on the Koran ; a
Chinese witness is sworn by kneeling and
breaking a china saucer against the wit-
ness box ; the Quaker simply says he will
tell the truth because he believes the com-
mand to be truthful is divine. The essential
thing, however, is that the witness aoknow-
ledge some binding effect derived from his
belief in a God or in a future state.
