The GREAT LONDON EXHIBITION.
1t is officially announced that the
exhibition will close en- the Ilth OF
October. A letter from Edward
Riddle, Esq, U. S. commissioner, un-
der date Of London, 26ih ult., makes
the following mention Of the prac-
teal interest taken in the exhibition
by various governments OF Europe:
Austria has supported a corps OF
thirty scientific men here; besides
ten commissioners, whose duties have
been confined 10 making drawings,
specifications, and reports Of what
was useful, new, interesting, or val
liable in the exhibition. Sardinia
has sent over sixty-three Of The most
intelligent young men from h T
workshops, paying them for their
time, and delraying all their expen-
ses, that they might have what Of
good could be gained in their various
arts from this great tore-house OF
the worlds industry. Turkey has a
body Of young engineers, shrewd,
clear-headed, practical men, whose
investigations, If measured by the at
tention they have given 10 every in.
genious piece Of mechanism in our
department, cannot fail to be most
salutary upon the industrial progress
Of their country. Egypt hastwo OF
her officers now for nearly a month
investigating what would be likely
to turn to good account there
Russia, Norway, and Belgium are
supporting each body Of artisans
among tn e numerous articles Of
moving machinery in the building;
while Frankfort and others of the
Hanse towns are collecting every
kind Of statistics, through men o.
eminence they have sent, for com
parison and publication

We lately saw an advertisement
headed as above. 1t conveys TO ev.
cry boy an impressive moral lesson.
San honest, industrious boy" is al
ways wanted. He will be sought;
his services will be in demand; he
will be respected and loved; he viii
be spoken OF in terms of high CON-
mendation; he will always have a
home; he will grow up TO be a man
ofknown worth and established char
acfer. |
He will be wanted. The merchant
will want him for salesman or clerk;
the masier.mechanic will want him
for an apprentice or a journeyman;
those with job to let, will want him
for contractor; parents for teach
er Of their children, and the people
for an officer.
He will be wanted. Townsmen
will want him as citizen; acquain-
tances as a neighbor; neighbors as a
friend; families as visitor; the world
as an acquaintance; nay, girls will
want him fer a beau, and finally for a
husband. ~,
An honest, industrious boyl Just
think of it boys; will you answer
this description? Can YOU apply for
this situation? Are you sure that you
will be wanted? You may be smart
and active, but that does not fill the
requisition--are you honestl You
may be capable--are you Industrious?
You may be well dressed and create
a favorable impression at first sight
ARE you both "honest and indus
trious"-are you sure that your
friends, teachers, acquaintances, can
recommend you for these qualities!
o, how would you feel, your charac-
ter not being thus established, on
hearing the words "can't employ
you" Nothing else will make up
for these qualities. No readiness or
aptness for business will do it. You
must be honest and Industrious
must work and labor; then will your
"calling and election" for places Of
profit aud trust he made sure.

Heated and fatigued, we prepared
for a general bathe-as a private
party; for the pilgrims determined
10 reserve their energies for the sa-
cred Jordan, the lake Of Sodom being
held by them in horror and abomi-

lake was held, did not, however, de-

plunged like wild ducks into the IL

an old hen on the bank. We plunged
Disastrous was the plung-rapidly

it was not, nor bitunen, nor salt,
nor sulphur, but a disgusting COM
pound OF all four. A hogshead Of it
would serve US an emeiic for all
Asia Minor, and leave some gallons,
to spare against the next epidemic;
you could neither sink nor swim in
it. Talk of a fly in molasses, or a
wasp in a barrel Of tar-I can find
no parallel Tor bath in the Dead
Sea. But the sufferings of my COM
panions were a trifle to what felt;
cut and MANNED in consequence of
my superior horsemanship, jumped
into the water as raw as a beeisteak,
and jumped out Of it--as il | were
flayed alive. However, let me be

fectually cauterizeG, completely skim
med over--the cure was perfect to

lortable sensation Of men who had
been coated with mutton suet; stiff,
greasy, and extremely out OF sorts,
with a tingling, creeping feeling over
the skin; and remounting, turned
our steps to the fords OF the Jordan.

APPLES FOR HUMAN FooD.-Tht

APPLES FOR HUMAN FooD.-The
importance Of apples as food'has not
hitherto been sufficiently estimated
in this country nor understood. Be-
sides contributing a large portion of
sugar, mucilage, and other nutritive
matter, in the form Of food, they
contain such a fine combination Of
vegetable acids, extractive subStan-
ces, and aromatic principles, with the
nutritive matter, as TO act powerfully
in the capacity OF refreshments, ton
les, and antiseptics; and, when fully
used at the season Of ripeness by ru-
raj laborers and others, they prevent
debility, strengthen digestion, correct
the putrelaciive tendencies of nitro
genous food, avert scurvy, and prob
ably maintain and strengthen the
powers Of productive labor. "The
operatives of Cornwall, in England,
consider ripe apples nearly as nour-
ishing as bread, and more SO than
potatoes. In the year 1901, a year
Of scarcity, apples, instead Of being
converted into cider, were sold to
the poor; and the laborers asserted
that they could stand to their work
o baked apples without meat;
whereas a potato diet required either
meat or fish," The French and Ger
mans use apples extensively; indeed
it is rare they sit down, in rural dis
tricts, without them in some shape
or other, even at tie hest tables
The laborers and mechanics depend
on them to very great extent as an
article of iood, and frequently dine
on sliced apples and bread. Stewed
with rice, red cabbage, carrots, or by
themselves, with a little sugar and
milk, they make both a pleasant and
nutritious dish. If our friends will
only provide themselves with plenty
of choice fruit, we will venture that
mot one man, woman. or child in fifty
would care for animal flesh to eat.
Who doubts for a moment that many
scrofulous and other diseases are
traceable TO a meat dietl 1t is well
known that much Of the meat we
eat is in a diseased state when
slaughtered, andits effects may well
be imagined. Yet your fruit is al
ways in healthy state, and cannot
generate disease in the human body;
but it has a diIuting, purifying, and
renovating tendencyl-W Wafer Cure

g. ANOTHER WOMAN OVER THE
FALLs.-We learn from a reliable
source. that yesterday morning,
about seven O'Clock, woman fell
into. the water at the edge of the
Horseshoe Fall and was carried over.
She was a crazy woman, and well
known TO all visitors on the Canada
side, and for some years has been a
terror to ladies' walking alone. A
man was arrested and examined'on
charge of pushing her into the
water, but we understand he was
discharged, for want Of evidence
He alledged that the motions made
by him, and which were thought TO
he made in pushing her over, were
only attempts 10 save her, Still,
some by-standers think they plainly
saw him shove the poor creature into
the stream.-Bnf. Cour.

A cloud may intercept the sun,
A web by insect workers spun
Preserve the life with the frame,
Or vapours take away the same.
A grain of sand upon the sight
May rob giant of his might
Or needle point let out his breath,
And make a banquet-meal for Death.
How often, at single word,
The heart with agony is stirred,
And ties that years could not have
riven,
Are scattered to the winds of heaven.
A glance, that looks what lips would
speak,
Will speed the pulse and blanch the
cheek;
And thoughts, not otlooked. nor yet ex-
prest,
Create a chaos in the breast.
A smile of hope from those we love
MAY be an angel from above:
A whispered welcome in our ears
Be as the music of the spheres.
The pressure OF a gentle hand
Worth all that glitters in the land;
OH trihes are not what they are,
But fortunes ruling voice and star.

succeeded in picking the removed

esteemed that lock perfectly un-

now been picked except the Newell
