Strangely enough, since the last reined
was applied, the child has grown more still
and Hee with its large dark eyes wide open
and fixed in a stony stare, which strikes new
terror to the young mother's heart.
All at once a strong shiver passes ova
the little frame, the tinyhands (Reno
tightly, and, with a convulsive shudder, th
limbs contract violently, and white foa
flecks the crimson lips.
The blood forsakes the face of the mother
and she trembles in every limb, but a new
hope is in her heart, and a fresh purpose;
too, for -she rises, and, laying the child ie
her husband's arms, whispere, "It is
Penlorn! (the wind). I shall offer to the
river -god."
With hands that shake with her feverish
haste, she takes a tiny boat from some re-
ceptacle in the wall and heaps it full of
flowers. At the prow she inserts a, taper,
and now with a wild glance at the
baby lying stiff and motionless in her
husband's arms, she flies with winged
feet down to the river's edge.
She trembles so that she can scarcely light
the taper, but at last it burns clearly, and
kneeling in the sand she rests the fragile
craft on the water, and carefully pushes it
out iato the stream. •

stretches out her small brown hand, and

Yonder it goes, the tight still burning.
and now the dark Ube is aglow with hope
and. excitement, for still her boat floats
bravely, and surely the spirits are propia
tious and her darling will get well; but ah,
the fated little boat ! Alas for the heathen
mother's one last hope.
Even while she looked and smiled a pass-
ing canoe has struck the fragile thing. Its
light is out and its precious weight of flowers
and of human hope is scattered upon the
waves, and all is over for Koala.
Now Fa•ying must die. She has not a
ray of hope left. She offered to Buddha in
his temple; and he did not hear, and now
the spirits would not hear her and accept her
gift, and so the child must die.
Slowly she drags herself back to the bane -
boo hut, where she thinks even now death
may have entered. She shudders, poor
child -mother, as she thinks of all the black,
dreadful horror of it. Her Pa-ying, her
little flower, her one precious treasure, has
gone from her, and her soul may even now
have been born again into the body of some
wild bird, or hideous beast of the field,
while the dear little body, with the clinging
arms and lips of love, must be burned to
ashes.

For Catarrh.
Here are &few excellent prescriptions for
Nasal catarrh, which, by extensive experi-
ence, we have found to be the most sathifeae
tory, in ordinary cases, of any remedies
which we have ever employed.
1. To it pint of water add 2 drams of
baking soda and one of borax. Apply to
the nose with an atomizer giving a coarse
spray. The spray should have sufficient
force to carry the fluid through to the back
of the throat, there is much dripping in
the throat, the sprat should also be applied
by means of a tube to the post nasal remain
at the back of the throat, by throwing the
spray up behind the soft palate. This so-
lution is for the purpose of cleansing the
mucous membrane, and thould be used
thoroughly in all cases where there is a dis-
charge from the nose, either a fluid discharge
or masses of dried mucus.
2. To a pint of water add two or three
ounces of listerine, which oan be obtained
at any drug store. Us this with an atomi-
zer same as directed with No. 1.
3. When,there is a very profuse disoharge
from the nose, use the following in the place
of No. 2; alum, 2 drams; 'famine, 3 oz. ;
wats.,
•
4. In all eases or OEttarkli in which there
is less discharge, but much thickening of the
mucous membrane, as indicated by the ob-
struction of the nostrils, breathing, and
snoring during sleep, use the following so-
lution to follow No. 1: Iodine of 2
drams; iodine, 5 grains; listerine,
water sufficient to make 1. pint.
_Brewery Stomachs.
That alcohol is formed during fermenta-
tion in the stomach, as well as elsewhere,
there can be no doubt. As is well known,
t is the function of the saliva to convert
starch into sugar. The starch conatitutea
about half the weight of farinaceous foods.
Besides, more or lessoragar is taken with
the food. An ounce of sugar, when fer-
mented, produces nearly two thirds of an
01111013 of pure alcohol, or the equivalent of
more than an ounce of whiskey. Probably
not less than four Onneen of starch and sug-
ar are taken at an ordhiary meal. Suppose,
then that in it ease of dyspepsia the foot
remains in the alimentary canal long enough
for onahalf the ataroh and sugar taken at
one meal to be converted into alcohol, we
have as a result, the equivalent of not less
than two ounces of whiskey. Is it any
wonder then that the dyspeptic is flushed
and giddy or excited, and sometimes cora-
p ains of a feeling of partial intoxication a
few hours after eating!
It may be a new idea, that a man may get
drank on a bad dinner, but the fact remains
that a sour stomach is actively etigaged in
the production of alcohol, becoming a sort
of brewery,. in fact. Such a stomach needs
a good disinfection and its p.oratessor can
hardly be called eAotal abstaaner until he
has so refornaed his diet that he has put it
stop to the manufactere of alcohol in his
own alimentary canal.

A pan of sliced raw onions, .placed in it

Professor Brinton says that the very best
thing for a sprain is to put the limb into a
vessel of very hot water immediately, then
add dolling water as it can be borne. Keep
the part immersed for twenty taunters, or
until the pain subsides; then apply a tight
bandage and order rest. Sometimes the
joint can be used in twelve hours. If neces-
sary, use a silicate of sodium dressing.

The trousseau of the Viscountesse Rouge
was so magnificent that it was publicly ex-
libited in Paris. It is said to be the most
beautiful ever made.
Rome has grown so that many of its most
interesting features are threatened. The
magnificent Ludovun Gardena were offered
to the city f or $000,090. They are now worth
ten times that amount as building lots, and
will be cut up.

It must be much cheaper to live in Scot-
land than in Ontario though the opposite is
often asserted. At least it is very evident
that the wages are much lower and
some people affirm that the same clams
of people live more comfortably there than
here, Carpenters, by tbe latest returns, earn
in Scotland a little over $7 a week, and
painters and plumbers about $7 50. Labor-
ers get about $4 or rather less,- while farm
servants get $105 in the year. All these
figures would look very smallin this country,
yet it is said that wages in the old country
have nearly doubled within the last twenty.

Ladies' Hats.
No decided or very noticeable changes
appear in hats and bonnets, except that the
fronts are a trifle larger and the trimmings
a little lower and broader, but the crowns
are unchanged. Colored straws, both in
plain and fancy braids, come in great
variety, as the Neapqajtans, the rough and/
readya, Milano, eth. lhips, in all the
shades, are again revived. Colored. tut:
:ruin Brussels net hats trimmed with
\
aigrettes. beads and gilt lace are effectiak,
for dress ccoasione. Soft, wide loops
ribbon have succeeded the stiff pointed iv,
of last year. These are laid so as to partl
cover the crown without adding much to itt,
height. Ribbons shaded from the paletak
to the darkest hues of a color are used fore
trimmings; others are watered and shaded,
and again strided and watered or changeable.
The corded or straight edges are now pre-
ferred to the picot or feather edges. Rib-
bons from five to six inohee wide will
be used for the large loops that wooly
cover the crowns of beennets. Flowers with
long trailing stems UM, together, or a single
rose and bud with long stem, or a trailing
ivy vme, cluaters of leaves, pink and yellow -
roses without leaves, are all used for Spring
trimmings. • Gray is still a popular shade,
ce;ally mouse color, as is also green, in
nae.44 linden and olive tints, ohaudron, er,
copper color, and other kindred hues Blaek
wiIl still be used as a trimming for bright
colors.
Round hats alwaya find favor with young
ladies, especially in the city. These still
he,ve high crowns, some of which are indent-
ed on the top, with close brims, faced with
velvet or not, as preferred. The severity of
these hats is relieved by bows of ribbon up
the front,. left side and back. For the coun.
try, lower crowns, with wide projecting
brims in front, have preference. Tnrbans
made of the same material as the dross are
much usee for travelling.
No man can answer for hie own
