Only an Apple Left.
One morning in the winter of 1878 a Clirie-
tian lady, who had often dietributed to the
neeessitiee of **tants, at alone in the room,
where advanced age and the beginning ef
what proved to be her last illness confined
Roused from her meditation by the en-
trance of her daeghtet, ahe caid
dear, old Mr. and Mrs. W. have been on my
mind all night. 1 hear they were net eat
church on Sunday. I know that they are
poor ; they may be sick and in want, • I
wish you would take a basket, call a cab,
drive to the market, buy a good supply of
provisions and take it to them." Here ahe
geve the address, and as her daughter was
leaving the room, she added, handing her
a thick flannel *skirt, "Perhaps you would
do well to take this, too ; the weather is cold
and Mrs. W, may need it."
The younger lady went, The provisioes
were bought, andiat the head of the third
flight of stair In the tenement house to
f
which she had een direeted, she stopped
short. Throug the thin door he eould hear
Mr. W.'s voice asking a blessing upon the
food before him.
At the conclusion of the grace, and smil-
ing at ivhat she now believed to be her
mother's unnecessary anxiety, she knocked
and entered. Sure enough, there they were
at dinner, the wife at the foot of the table,
waiting to be helped, the husband at the
head, carving --one large apple, all the food
they had I
With tears in her eyes, the lady drew
forth her kindly stores, and while a, comfort-
able meal was being prepared, she listened
to their thanks, and heard from uncomplain-
ing lips their pitiful story—how they earned
a precarious living as clear starche: s; how
the husband had been attacked by rheuma-
tism, and the wife by a felon; how, though
utterly destitute, they had poured out be-
fore their God all their troubles; and how
they had surely believed that He would send
some one to help them.
' This excerpt presents all the usual accom-
paniments of society as it is usually found:
1. "A Christian lady" in her "last illness"
benevolently inclined, and accustomed to
look after the poor. 2. Sends her daughter
to the "market to buy a good aupply of
provisions," and take it to the old and in-
digent couple. 3. "The husband has rheu-
matism, and the wife a. felen."
These conditions are in the strictest har-
mony with what is expected, and does hap.
pen in all grades of society as it is now con-
stituted. These hnproper foods, illnesses
and deaths, are the result of a lack of a
proper understanding of the laws of health.
The superabundant carbonaceous substances
in the shape of animal fats, sugary prepar-
ations, starch and fine flour, cake and bread
supplies, all of which are devitalized by the
cooking process, causes the blood to become
thick and dark, clogging up the capillaries,
superinducing inflammations and abnormal
strictures. Our green -grocer supplies are
only once elaborated in the process of growth
and are consequently insuffieiently vitalized
to supply such hutnan tissue as God has
made ample provision for; and upon the
basis of which He, by implication, promised
our first parents .nsttstereption from a phys-
ical death.
The in
human food supply la desig-
nated In Gen. 1 : 29, and consists of ripe
uncooked fruits and grains. These should
be eaten in verygreat moderation, and not
opener than twice a day.
Usually, if fruit is eaten, it is eaten after
A
more than enough of other and much less
valuable tissue -building food has been taken.
Under such circumstances, t is impossible
to have the processes of vitalization by
steeping in the vital fluids ,and oxyclation
by breathing imparted to the blood.
A proper underspancling of God's laws
leads Irresistibly toNte.eonclusion that am-
ple provision has been made for the daily
reparation of the used up tissues with as
good material as was used the previous day.
If this high standard of excellence is strictly
maintained, it is clear that sickness, old
age, dierepitude and death, can be avoided.
This is not immortality; but it is "incor-
ruptibility," the contention for which the
Saviour always contended.
This story of an aged lady, charitably dis-
posed, with ample means, is ill with what
proves to be her last illness instructs her
daughter to go the market, buy a supply of
food and take it to an aged couple of whom
. shehad been thinking during the night. On
her arrival she found the husband suffering
from rheumatism, and the old lady with a
felon, the three cases of illness being the
result of the use of such food as is usually
used,—suggested the foregoing thoughts,
which are held by the writer as a result of
30 years carefully devoted to the study of
the human system and its legitimate require-
ments.
How to Take a Bath.
There is a right and a wrong way of taking
a bath. The wrong way may result in evil,
but the proper mode of bathing is sure to
bring benefit A separate bath -tub is not
essential in taking a good sponging. For
healthy persons, who are accustomed to a
daily bath, cold water would be best on ac-
count of its invigorating influences. Those,
who can take a bath only once a week, had
better use warm or tepid water, as it cleans
es the body more thoroughly. In using
warm water caution should be taken, to
avoicl contracting colds. The best way is to
sponge the body with cold rsater innnediate.
Is, after the warm has been applied ; have a
coarse crash towel at hand and rub the body
thoroughly until a flush and glow appears
all over the surfaoe. ,
A warns bath should not be taken in a,
cold room. Di's well to have the temper
-
attire of the.- water correspond somewhat
.,..,
with that of the, oom. If the bather has no
tub, but mete:Avrde es- the sponge and bowl,
great Care should be taken to avoid exposing
inuch of one's person at a time. Beginning
at the head, sponge but a portion of the
body at a time; rub and dry the moistened
part, and continue this plan until the bath
completed. Especially do we advise this
method, when the combined, warm and cold
bath is taken. We would lay some stress
on the advantage of using cold water.It is
much superior as a guard against cold. '
Weakly or invalid people should be warned,
however, against using cold water if their
system is not vigorous or robust enough to
withstand its sudden influence. If it gives
a ahock to the system the bather must de -
slat at once. But if a pleasurable feeling is
experienced and a glowing sensation follows,
ft is always the sign of a, healthful and sue -
(meal bath; no fear of taking cold need
then be entertained.

Probably few persons realize how unrelis
able are the unprofessional thermometric
reports which are telegraphed in Winter
over the country after each cold wave, so
untrustworthy are even the best of apirit
thermometers la unskilled hands. Dr. John
Rae expresses the opinion that the ther-
mometer which is quoted aa having record-
ed 58 degrees below zero in Manitoba is
fa:4n 13 to 15 degrees in error, An instru-
ment for the aceurate measurement of low
temperatures is needed as much as a reliable
pyrometer for testing the temperature of
molten metals.
The ratio of siokness rises and falls regu-
larly with the death -rate in all countries, as
shown by Dr. Farr and Mr. Edmonds at
the London Congress of 1860, when the
following rule was established: Of 1000
persons, aged thirty, it is probable ten will
die in the year, in which case there will be
twenty of that age sick throughout the
year, and ten invalids. Of 1000 persons,
aged seventy-five, it is probable 100 will
die in the year, in which case the sick and
invalids of that age will be 300 throughout
the year. For every 100 deaths, let there
be hospital beds for 200 sick, and infirm-
aries for 100 invalids.
One would almost imagine that the
power of the microscope had reached its
limits; but it is now claimed that, by the
discovery of a new kind of glass, that
power will be increased to an incredible
degree. The new ingredients in the im-
proved glass are phosphorus and boron,
and the difference between the new and
the old glass is found in the refraction of
light. With the old glass the full power of
the microscope was the discernment of one
five -hundred -thousandth part of an inch,
and with the new glass it is claimed that
the one two-hunclred-and-four-million-seven-
hundred-thousandth part of an inch can be
distinguished.
There is more in a heap of coal than most
persons are aware of. Besides gas, a ton of
gas coal will yield 1,500 pounds of coke, 20
gallons of ammonia, water, and 140 pounds

coal tar gives 69.6 pounds of pitch, 17 pounds
of creosote, 14 pounds of heavy offs, 9•5
pounds of naphtha yellow-, 6•3 pounds of
naphthaline, 415 pounds of naphthol, 2.25

of toludine, 0.46 pound ot aniltracine, , and
0.9 pound of toluene. From the last named
substance is obtained the new product known
as saccharine, which is said to be 230 times
as sweet as the best cane meat.
ogre—
A imple Story, Sweet and Sad.
BY GEORGE MURRAY.
Come, listen to my mournful strains,
A simple story, sweet and sad,
This tale of one who loved in -ram,
Was told tne by a harvest lad.
A gleaner brown, a rustle flower,
Loved a rich peasant's only eon;
But she could bring no other dower
Than the fend heart that he had won.
She wept: The father said at last:
"Go, reap yon barley field of mine—
U, when three days froin now have muss'd,
The task is done, My boy is thine."
The father spoke—The listening maid
With joy and love nigh swooned. away;
Forthwith she seized a sickle blade,
And deftly plied it, night and day.
When, faint and wearied, in despair,
She felt her yearning strength depart,
She drew fresh courage from her prayer,
And prayer Was prompted by her heart.
A daisy in her path delays
The tender glances of her eye;
" Pelee of my happiness," she says,
"Poor harmless darling thou inust die I',
But while it perished in its youth,
It looked go beautifully mild,
That the fond maiden wept for ruth—
She, too, was but a blossom wild.
The third day passed—with twilight shade
The rieli man to his barley came—
Breathless and pale, there stood the maid.
Her eyes triumphantly aflame I
"1 did but jest, my girl," he cried.
"Ten crowns thy toil will amply pay,"
Alas I One moist frail blossom died,
Out to the heart, ere close of day
Such is the etory, sad and sweet,
I heard amid the golden grain,;
The maidens sing it when they meet
And mingle weeping with the strain.

Calvin's Influence Still Lives There.
The small republic of Geneva spends an-
nually one-fourth of its income for public
instruction; this poliey is not modern, but
it has existed since the Reformation, when
it was taught by Calvin that knowledge is
the strength ot a nation. Calvin himself
created the college which bears Ins name,
and installed in it the same building which
is still used for the same purpose and called
St. Antoine; it is the Geneva boys' pride to
finish their studios ifl that establishment

children •from three to six years, old in 56
' schools, 'divided tanong the whole' canton

public gardens they are led in procession
throngh ,the principal streets, with, bands

during all the holidays.

On Thursday of last week Mrs. Stephen
Van Worden was found dead in the woods
at Port Saxon, N. Ss, about two miles from
the main road. The circumstances are re-
ported as follows :—Since the death of her
husband the deceased had resided with her
son, Mr. Abram Van Worden, at Port
Saxon, and at the time had been paying a
visit to her daughter, Mrs. William Chis-
holm, at Clyde River, some three or four
miles away. Having stayed beyond the
limit arranged for, Mrs. Van Worden had
sent one of her children th inquire if the
grandmother NYRS' all right and still at Mrs.
Chisholm's. It was then ascertained 'she
had left for home two days before. A search
was immediately instituted, with the result
stated. The deceased was a native of Aber-
deenshire, Scotlisncl, and vvas more than
eighty years old.
During the past year 77,221 cases of lob-
sters were packed on P. E. Island, valued at
about $405,410. The number of fish killed
amounts to over 25,946,256,faveraging in size
about seven to a can. The greater portion
of these goods were shipped to England.
Besides these some 14,703 cases, put up in
Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia, were brought there for shipment.
On the whole the season has not been sat-
isfactory, and in all probability the packers
will soon hold another convention to con-
sider their course for the future. Compar-
ed with last year the output has been about
1,430 cases more, bathe fish have decreased
again in .size; for whereas in 1885 it took
six and a half lobsters to fill a can, during
the past year it took seven. In fact, ever
since 1879, when it took but three to is can,
the fish have eteadily decreased in size,
sometime by three-fourths of a fish th a can
per year.
How to Dress Small Skins.
To dross small fur skins, clean and scrape
the skin and moisten it with water; then
cover the flesh side with a paste made as
follows: One pound each of powdered alum
and salt and of rye flour ; mix into a thin
paste with warm water, and spread it on
the skin a quartet of an in& thick, Lay
another skin upon this, and so on in pairs ;
then put a board on the top and a light
weight. After ten days take ant the skins,
cleat and scrape them, and repeat three
times ; then stretch the skim* and rub them
smooth with pumice stone and chalk.

How to Succeed, *Trust ;ends. Fos
A correspondent, who appears to _e wies, Jit t$05 . Urcato,
eareeet, writes : "Aa a new year )1a6

on 'How to Succeed' might prove of interest
to those who, like myself, are always ready
and anxioue to learn, and who desire to
commence 1887 with a laudable ambition, to

This is rather a strange remiest, as we are
not aware that we possess any speeial quali-
fication** for imparting information ou this
enb'e st to our inquircr whleh he doee nqt,
poosess himself. We do not believe the 004
old way can be iznproved on ; at least, if it
can, we are not acquainted with the method.
We well remember the *supreme contempt
with which we regasded the teachings of
sense of the wisest philosophers who ever
lived, when first reading their advice to
those entering the race of life, who ared
th succeed, or occupy an honorable position.
How commonplace seemed their arguments
and recommendations ? To be assured that
to reach the goal, integrity, sobriety, per-
sistence, attrition to business, regard for
truth and honor, a settled determination to
make , the word 08 geed as the bond, were
indispensable, seemed ao ridiculous, so fri-
volous, SO Oht of character with the end
sought for, which we had expected to mimes
by a patented or pyrotechnic method, that
we threw them down in disgust; and we
have no doubt that thousands of others have
had a sinialar youthful experience, and labor-
ed under a similar delusion, But the old,
cad story has been repeated, as it will be re-
peated to the end of time. The then esteem-
, ed dreary platitudes have materialized into
' the wisdom of the sage, and proven that the
possession and exercise of these virtues are
pisential, nay, more essential LLOW, to
achleve a lasting success than they were a
century ago, beeause fraud and tinseled
shams were not then as rampant, as danger-
ous, as positive or as deceptive factors in
thema,ke-up of society as they are to -day.
Napoleon's definition of genius—success—
explaina its significance when coupled with
his Well-known aphorism : "Providence
generally favors the heaviest battalions.'
The student who carries off the honors at
Oxford or Mc Gill more frequently owes
his triumph to laborious, unflagging study
than a special so-called natural gift, exem-
plifying the fact that there is no royal road
th learning. When. the Prince of Wales'
sons entered the British navy, the instruc-
tions given to the officer under whom they
were placed, in effect were : " Teach them
their duty, and show no favoritism," thus
practically recognizhag that although born
with silver spoons in their mouths, they had
to learn by actual experience, equally with
the humblest seaman, how th splice a rope
or Vox the compass. And thus it is in the
ordinary walks of life. Not more sense-
less was King Canute's command to the
ocean than is the too prevalent expectation
thal a special freak of fortune will bridge
the' chasm between ignorance and know-
ledge, and afford a loop -hole for a genius (?)
to prove his superiority over sublunary
mortals.
History repeats itself, and he is a wise
man who cannot learn by the experience of
others. As the lighthouse warns the mari-
ner of the hidden rock or dangerous shoal,
so the failures of the past should act aa
beacons th those svho are anxious to avoid
the pit holes which censtantly beset their
pathway.
Many of the failures are the result of mis-
directed effort. There is an old though
trite saying, "You cannot make a whistle
out of a pig's tail," so is man who has mis•
taken his calling cannot expect to success-
fully compete with a rival peculiarly adapt-
ed by taste and training for it. Others
trust to chance in preference to following
theabeaten path. A few years ago we in-
quired of one of the most prominent of Col-
orado's miners, what, in his opinion, had
been the ratio of successful to noinsuccess-
ful mining adventurers, during fifteen years.
The reply was that one in ten thousand
would be a liberal computation. Is it not
ratioral to suppose that if these nine thou-
sand nine hundred and ninety-nine 'failures
had turned their attention to legitimate
business the result would have been fax
different? Some fail because too little at-
tention is paid to details, others because
they simply skim the surface and fail to use
the subsoil plough.
Life is a continual struggle from the cra-
dle to the grave' and the man who is not
prepared to meetwith and overcame ob-
stacles has no right to expect success. No
cross, no crown. While it is certain that
everyone who starts in pursuit of wealth or
fame will not become a Crcesus, a Bacon, or
a Webster, it is equally certain that those
who follow the divine injunction "What-
ever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all
thy might," and are guided by honor and
principle, may rationally expect a certain
meed of success to attend their efforts.
