the King OF Caicut, he found that monarch adorned
With jewels on every available part of his person.
The barharty of a ring in the lip cannot be sufici-
emily stigmatzed by lady who wears one in her ear
The lady who affects the lip ring considers the pierced
ear sign OF slavery, as it was known to be by the
Hebrews long ago; Travellers in India have realized
the nursery tradition of the lady with rings on her
fingers and bells on her toes and we know that the
tntllng feet of the Jewish women incurred the re-
probation Of the proi het Ezekiel. All nations seem
to agree IN this love of personal ostcntation The

FRUIT VERSUS LIoUoR.-The late David Thomas
often made the remark, that among all his acQuaint-
ances he he scarcely knew person who was decided

There appears to be natural demand in the system
for fruit, and this demand not being always met,
many are tempted to fill this vacancy by drinking
alcoholic liquors. One of the best things we can do
therefore. while we urge the positive influence Of
temperance principles, and the prevention of an in
temperate appetite by abstaining entirely from the

culture of fruit in all its kinds, extend tho

temptation to supply its deficiency, as above stated.
