Cape itretkin'aild Nova Scotia. It is said that inhabitants very frequently . reach 100 years of age without- ever suffering teobs aevere illness. The air is dry -and bracing; and no better project could be set on foot than to empty the _hospitals ottheiworld on these generous shores. The fell diseases' with which we of the eastern coast are so afflicted, as consunip- tier' RV example, and intermittent fevers, are never • known, while, nonOgenarians aild centenarians, who are still able to do a fair clay's work on the farm, are met with at every, turn. Indeed, it is an ideal spot for the -invalid / and the time is not far distant when that ghastly crowd that yearly goes to Florida to die will change their course and go to Prince Edward bland to live. I have often weiidered it this American folly which prempti one who is in the last stages of cOmiumption, or who has a serious difficlifty with throat or lungs, to leave a coinfortable home that he may roost en - the branches of the Florida coast, at a cost of five or six dollars &day, and no- thinsgnttimeates* Iosuspect that it is all aruse of the doctors, who do not care to have a patient die on their hands, and- who, therefore, advise a trip to the sunny South, which sounds well eneugh, and which is in reality a- trip to the grave- yard. Florida is Moloch, and must be dethroned. He has an insatiable appe- tite, and everlastingly demanding mere ; and more he will have as long as fashion holds control over life and death as now. When we wake from our delu- sion, We shall find that the dry, bracing, life-giWng atmosphere of some favored 804 like Prince Edward island ia worth fart:lore than the subtle poison -of Flor- ida; even if the, camelias do blossom there in February, and the sun coaxes the mercury up to 75. I do not care to sit-in judgment on the opinion of the physician, but if I had a cross-grained nude who was -Worth a million, and who had made a will in my favor • and if the- . aforesaid relation. was coughing about the hoose all day, giving me as it were anourticipatory view of his fortune; and if, furthermore, I was possessed of a dia- bolical thirst *of gain, I should coax him to go to Florida, ,and, taking his exact measure in feet and inches, should con- fide it to a 'neighboring undertaker be- fore -he started. But if, on the other hand, I' wished to retain him a little longer amid these sublunary spheres, freefrom bronchitis and tuberclea, I should_pack him off for some such se- cluded spot as Prince Edward Wand. The refreshing,air a.nd equal temperature would rebuild. his shattered constitu- tion. I would like nothing better than to land at St. Peter's Bay,. and with a couple of ponies raised from good Eng- lish stock, for which the Island has be- come famous, start on a trip over the entire Island, hunting in it woods, fishing in its rivers, and stopping at the always hospitable farm houses at night. Vilith'sweet bread, fresh mils and eggs, and rich cream, I could mage to sur- vive for a month or two at least. -Dr. Hepworth in Starboard and Port. 7 Very; Doubtful Sunstroke. William Kerrigan, a laborer, while sawing wood on a summer day, fell from the effects of the heat, and was insensi- ble for half an hour. Mr. Kerrigan ex- plained as follows: "It. is thrue, I was left insinsible, but whether it was the simstruck or what it was remains to be invistigated. I was sa,win' wood for Mrs. Mcllennin. Mrs. McDennin several times came and looked at me as I was sawin' of the Wood in her backyard, sayin' to me: ''William, it is awful hot the day.' '"Yer right there,' sez I, 'ifs power- ful bot, Mrs. MeDennin.' "Then sez Mrs. McDennin--she stand- in' in the kitchen in the roar of the house at the time-sez she: 'I finds nothin' like cowld tay for the hate,' sez she, and she tuck a taypot off the shelf and tuck a schwig. "Well, she several times came out, and sayin"William, the hate is severe,' tuck a sclAvig from the taypot. "Prisently, finding the hate oppres- sive, I went in on my own irritation, and tuck a schwig from the taypot. Thin I tuck another, and thin I tuck an- other, and whin I was finally lifted- up from beside me sawbuck, I towld thim that was 411 I knew about the sun- stroke. Church Contributions. = ' The 'United. Presbyterian. Church of Scotland devotes about one-tenth of. its total yearly contributions to the cause of foreign missions. The amount set apart for this purpose has been increased from $70,000 in 1856, to$205,000 in 1876. The Free Church of Scotland raises near- ly $300,000 for foreign missions, with which it sustains 28 ordained European missionaries, and a total Christian agency of 278. In the native churches connected- with its missions there are 2,387 communicants. There are 150 fi institutions 1/41 nd schools, and 6,057 male and. 1,306 ale scholars receiving in- struction in nglish and itt. their native tongue; 1,957 male and 1,984 female scholars receiving instruction in their native tongue alone ; making a total of 11,W6 under Christian instructicu3. The Church of Scotland and other Presby- terian bodies will probably increase Scot- land's annual contribution for foreign missions -to $700 or $800. - The Laboring IVIan. In a large city, a laboring man leaving a large saloon saw a costly carriage and pair standing in front, occupied by two laches elegantly attired, conversing with the proprietor. As it rolled away he said to the dealer : "Whose establish- ment is that ?" "It is mine," replied the man cen3placently. "It cost me $3,500; my wife and daughter cannot do. without it'? The mechanic bowed his head a moinent in deep thought; then looking up Said with the energy of a man suddenly aroused by some startling flash, "I see it! I see it !"- "See what ?" queried the dealer. "See where for years my wages have gone. I helped to pay for that carriage. for those horses and - gold - mounted harness, for the silks and laces and jewelr for your family. The money . 1 earned, hat 'should have 'given my Wife and chtidren a home of our own, and good clothing, I have spent at your • bar.

How John Prince Johnson Hurt His Dear: Wife's Peelings, • John Prince Johnson had an object in getting drunk. John Prince Johnson's wife is not more than nine -tenths an angel according to his story, and he Want-, ed revenge on her. The other day she said to` him: "Get up and dust, and go out and work and earn some cash and help me pay rent and buy wood and keep some- thing in the ',cupboard." That was a nice way for a loving wife' to talk to a fat husband with a bald Spot on his crown. He wanted to sit around ancr get his breath for the coining cam- paign, but she didn't seem to care if he worked 'himself to death. He looked at her across the stove and replied: "Florinda Jane, I'll make you feel bad for sayiug them words," and he put on his boots and went out into the cold world. When His Honor asked the prisoner if he had any excuse for being drunk, John Prince looked greatly pleas- ed and replied: • "None at all. Fine me five dollars, and she'll have to pay it out of her own money !" That was his plan to secure revenge. His Honor also seemed tickled when he heard it, and he made the sentence for six months or fifty dollars fine. When Johnson heard the words his legs gave out and his teeth chattered. He said he had a lame leg, the asthma, a touch Of consumption and a taste of dyspepsia, but nevertheless he would go right out and tear ground and throw bricks around and strike a job if the court would let him off. The court. wouldn't do it, and Mrs. Johnson, who was. in the audience, went out doors saying: "He may bowl, and rave, and perspire and expire, bat right up there is where he'll roost till his time is out." . • A Strange Case. - A strange -breach of premise case is on trial in a San Francisco court, the peculiarity being that a woman sues a man for refusing to keep a matrimonial engagement made with her while she was the wife of another man.- Mrs. Edward.s was the young wife' of an old husband, and -she grew tired of the incongruous re- lation. Mr. Keating was nearer her own age and disposition, and she bestowed on him the affection which her husband could not gain. Mr.. Keating gave her his heart, and promised to give her his hand as soon as she could be freed from Mr, Edwarida. Several years were oc- cuPied in securing that freedom, for Mr. Edwards's behavior as a husband was not bad ehough to make a divorce easy to get; but a legal separation was at length' effected. In the meantime, the courtship between Mr, Keating and. Mrs. Edwards had progressect in a way that would have -1313en proper had she not been a wife. Many love letters were written, and preparations were made for mar- riage. After the husband was' no longer. an obstacle, however, Mr. Keating's ardor cooled gradually until he no lonor desired -to marry Mrs. Edwards. There- upon she brought the suit, which the presiding Judge Says is unprecedented. in the history of law. An Old Timer. No matter what locality an aged per- son may reside in, the journals published in his section generally manage to learn something about him _that may interest the public, and then publish it. The oldest Free Mason is occasionally heard from; so is also the ancient Oddfellow ; whilst not unfrequently an Orangeman who was made in the last century puts forth his -claims tor prominent mention. •These matters serve •the purpose of amusing the newspaper reader, and are to the people of Canada what George Washington's' nurses are to the citizens of the United States -both being heard quite often. The latest old Orangeman is thus spoken of by the San Francisco Jolly Giant: Mr. John Elliot, now of Hungerford, born near Newtonbutler, in County Fermanagh, in the year 1765, is now 111 year old, and was made an Orangeman in Newtonbutler Lodge, No. 978, on the 12th July, 1811. Mr. John .Coulsim was master. He is now a mem- ber of Loyal Orange Lodge, No. 393, in District No. 2, South Hastinge. On his farrnr the Lodgeis now going to erect a good substantial brick hall. Roland Hill. - For ten years Roland Hill, the great preacher, that singular mixture of wis- dom, drollery and piety, was an itiner- ant, and his ministry was attended by vast crowds. His wit never.deserted him, for on one occasion, preaching on Hampstead Heath. some ram fell, and he deliberately put on his hat, saying: "Excuse my hat, friends ; lipt do not let the ram alarm you so much. What would the condemned souls in Tephet, parched for it, give for a single drop of this delightful rain ?" So, *Then 4 was reproved for not preaching to thelelect only, he asked some one 'to have the goodness to mark them with a bit' of chalk, and then talk to them." On Talkers. A gentleman well known in literary circles for his inexhaustible flow of words was one day lamenting the decay of good' -conversationalists, when a very ?lever lady remarked that what she most re- gretted in the present day was the decay of good listeners. We fear the decay of good listeners is a sad and momentous fact, and proves the demoralized' state of mind of the men and women of the present generation. It is not easy tohe a good listener, it requires, certain high moral qualities. A man to listen well must be unselfish, he must be both wil- ing to give and take. He must have powers of self-control, for he must be ready to give his mind for a moment into another man's cnatodY. He must have a certain amount of deference and hu- manity which the man who accompanies your words with a running commentary of protest or contradiction does not pos. seas. The person who /eta his eyes wan- der while you, are bilking to him shows that he is deficient. in the first elements of good breeding -courtesy. The eye of the good listener ia one of the eyes which THE HU ON. EXPOSITOR: the poet and novelist have .not remem- bered to extt61. Et is 'afwayi serene, patient and Intelligent.

It may, perhaps, startle many total abstainers to learn that one of their favorite beverages, (ginger beer), is really a fermented liquor, and contains alcohol in proportions varying from two to four or _five per cent.Neverthele.ss, such, according to Dr. Bathurst Woodman in the Sanitory, Record, is the case.'1"1 should be very sorry," writes that gentle- man, "to ,diminish the sale of -.ginger beer, which I regard as one of the best of our summer beverages, containing, as it does, in almost samples, either free citric or tartaric acid,'"or the almost equally beneficial bitartrate of potash. I have before me the receipts of seVeral large makers, and take the &it that conies to hand. It contains besides ginger, tartaric i and citric acids, 200 pounds of sugar to 180 gallons of water. These ingredients are duly fermented; &c., and bottled. Now, 200 pounds of sugar (cane sugar) will produee in fer- mentation nearly 100 'pints of alcohol; and making all allowances for loss in yeast, by evaporation in bottling, &c., it -is quite plain that this boor will con- tain about four per opt. of alcohol,and the result of actual -experiment snows the same. The otherecipes only diger slightly in the amount of the saccharine substance, as regards the water; or the kind of sugar present, or the acid em- ployed. This peicentage of alcohol is, of muse, about half the strength of most of the malt liquors in common use by the middle 'classes of this country, but about equal to many of the cheaper ales, and to much of. the beer drank in Ger- many and other parts of. the Continent. Chemist and Druggist. How San Francisco Mllionaires Spend Their. Money. It seems Co be a penchant among our millionaires to squander -their: money Ort hotels, opera hooses, and fast women. Senator Sharon has a seven -story palace hotel, on which he is losing about $1;000 a day ; Senator Jones inns a newspaper and a Roman bath establishment; E. J. Baldwin, another millionaire, has built an opera house and hotel, at a cost of $2,500;000. Jim Keone, another million- aire stock broker, has -given Strakosch a $30,000 lot of ground, upon which he premises to build ao "Eetalian opera „twine ;" and Jasper McDonald, a leading bear, has just taken possession of one of our leading theatres lot moneys advanc- ed. It:would Bede as if our millionaire brokers intended having a monopoly 'of all the luxuries of life.-S'an. Francisco News Letter. Girls who Sold their Hair to Get Home. Two belles of this city lately came home from Philadelphia shorn of their wealth of raven tresses. After they had: taken in all the points at the big.show and had made many purchases, before they knew it they had spent all their money, and what was worse had lost their, return excursion tickets. They had no friends in Philadelphia and no time to write to Reading. They there- fore resolved to make a raise • so they skipped away into a barber slop and struck .a bargain for their back hair. The shaver offered $3.75 each for what they had. In a- short time they were nicely shorn,. and thus they were able to get back to their native land. -Reading Eagle. A NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM. -A minister afflicted with Rheumatism men- tioned his trouble to a Paddy . employed on his premises. "Och, sure," replied Ireland, "an' if ye' would carry a potater in yer pocket, yea get well." A day or two after, the minister sat in the elegant study of an uptown city church, chatting with the pastor, a perfect gentleman, whose culture and good. sense are the pride of his Conference.-- The visitor asked, "What can 1 do for my rheuma- tism ?" The cultured, pastor replied, "Easily cured, my dear brother. 1 had the rheumatism. A friend advised me to carry a potato in my pocket. It looked a foolish thing to do; but I tried it and it cured me." Grand Trunk Railway. Trains leave Sealorth Station as follows: GOING WEST - Day Express .108 P. M. Night Express 8 56 P. M.
