THE LOVED AND Losr.-The loved
ones whose loss I lament are still in exist
ence they are living with me at this very
time; they are like myself dwelling in the
great parental mansion of God; they still
belong to me as to them. As they are
ever in my thoughts, so perhaps, am l in
theirs. As / mourn for their loss, per-!
haps they rejoice in anticipation Of our
reunion. What to me is sill dark, they
see clearly. Why do grieve because I
can no longer enjoy their pleasant society /?
During their lifetime was not disconten-
ted because I could not always have them
a ound me. If journey took them from
me, ! was not therefore unhappy. And
why is il different now They have gone
on journey. Whether they are living
on earth in a far distant city, or in some
higher world in the infinite universe 81

the same house Of the Father, like loving
brothers Who inhabited separate rooms !?
Have we therefore ceased to be bro hers q

Coal AND CHEMICAL DISCOVERY

Coal AND CHEMICAL DISCOVERY
There is no raw material with which We
are acquainted that is utilized to so great
an extent as coal. A few years ago al
most the OILY product obtained from il

ually increasing lead to an almost weekly
addition TO the number Of patents con-
nected with coal. Heated in tie retort
Of the gas-hous-, it affords our chief
source Of artificial light. AT The same
time large quantity Of ammonia is pro-
duced, material Of great commercial
value, and one form Of which is Familiarity
known as smelling Salts" With tho
ammonia tar is afforded, and from this
chemistry obtains those beautiful colors
known as the aniline dyes; the nitro-ben-
zole, which is almost identical with the
essence of bitter almonds parafiin and
paraffin oil, naphtha, creosots, pitch &c,
Very recently large quantities Of Prus-
sian blue have been obtained by a pecu-
liar chemical method Of dealing with the
cyanogen, also produced by heat from
Goals. The waste in the retort--the coke
lis the chief source Of the profit of gas
companies. Ten years ago Boghens coal
was the only source of paraffin in this
country. Now, through improved chem
ical processes in treating the raw mate

SPEAKING OUT IN CHuRcH.--A most
amusing instance of speaking out in church
occurred some years ago in the parish Of
-. The minister in preaching upon the
story Of Jonah, uttered piece Of declam-
a:ory rhetoric, to something like the fol-
lowing effect: "And what sort Of i3sh
was it, my brethren, that God had appoints
ed thus to execute his holy will. Was II !
shark, my brethren !? Not could NOT
be shark; for God could never have
ventured the person Of bis beloved Prophet
among the deadly teeth Of that ravenous
fish. What fish was il, then, my brethren7
Was it a salmon, think ye? All no that
was too narrow lodging. There's no q
salmon i the deepest pule o a'Tweed could
swallow man. Besides, ye ken, it's mair
natural for men to swallow salmon, than
for salmon to swallow men. What, then.
was it? Was it a sea lion, or sea horse.
or a sea dog, or great rhinoceros Oh.
no. These are not Scriptcr beasts eva.
Ye're as far aft as ever. Which Of the
monsters of the great deep was it, can ys
tell ine?" Here an old specialized dame.

perplexity about the name Of the fish, in

How TO KEEP SILK.-Silk articles
should not be kept folded in white paper,
as The chloride of lime used in bleaching
The paper, will probably impair the color
of the silk. Brown or blue color is bet.
ter; the yellowish, smooth India paper is
best of all. Silks intended for dress
should not be kept long in the house be-
fore they are made up, as lying in the
folds will have tendency 10 impair its
durability, by causing it TO cut or split par
ticularly if the silk has been thickened by
gum. Thread lace wells are very easily
cut. But dresses of velvet should not be
laid by with any weight above them; if
the nap of thin velvet Is laid down, it is
not possible to raise it up again. Hard
silk should never be wrinkled, because the
thread is easily broken in the crease, and
ii can never be rectitied. The way TO take
the wrinkles out of silk scarfs and hand
kerchiefs, is to moisten the surface evenly
with sponge and some weak glue, and
then pin the silk with some toilet pins on
mattress or feather bed. taking pains to
draw out the silk as tight as possible.
When dry, the wrinkles will have disap-
peared. The reason of this is obvious to
every person. Some silk articles should
be moistened with weak glue or gum wa
ter, and the wrinkles ironed out by hot
fai-iron on the wrong side.-Leisre Hour.

NOR, as they were brezthed upon, anu
were also deferred from doing as they
pleased, and one bee showed his dispIsas-
urc by stinging Mr.. Simmonds At the fork
OF his two fore-fngers. This was not
pleasant of itself, but it IVES a serious o.
currence, as It might be the prelude Of .
more extensive attack. He avoided max

fectly closed. Of course, the few minutes
that elapsed before the return Of his son
and servant seemed terrible long period
to Mr.. Simmonds, and during the whole of
it he remained motionless on his knees.
On their arrival the hive was placed on
three bricks, with its mouth downward,
and Mr.. Simmonds slowly laid himself on
his breast on the grass, with his head close
to the hive. The honey soon attracted the
bees nearest to il, and slow movement of
the bees took place, till at length the swarm
gradually gathered itself under and with
in the hive. except few patches Of bees,
which, in walking away, Mr.. Simmonds
easily disengaged from his dress with his
hand and made them join their compan-
IONS Mr.. Simmonds thus escaped from
not only very disagreeable but perious
situation. II occupied two hours from the
time that the bees slighted on their mas
ter to the time Of bis release.

TuE ANCIENT ROMAN WoMEN.-Ihc
ancient Romans, in some respects,
were in advance OF the present age in
their practical physiological knowl-.
edge. This was especially the case in
the habits of the women. They Gem
eI to be fully aware Of the fact that a
hardy race must be born OF beautiful
mothers, and consequently any usage
or practice likely to affect injurionsly
the health of women was viewed BY the
State with suspicion, The muscles
were Systematically educated. Frequent
bathing was required by law. Large
bath houses were established, which
were places Of common resort.
Nvr several centuries oftlle best ages
of Rome il was Il criminal offence for a
Roman mother to drink Intoxicating
liquors. AT the time of our Savior on
earth, and for q long period after, it was
considered infamous fora Roman wo-
man to taste wine. For 4 guest to of.
fer a class of wine to one Of the house
hold was looked upon as Il deep insult,
as it implied a v want of chastity on her
part. History records several cases
where they we're put to death by their
husbands because they smelt Of ''tomc-
tun." The consequence OF this phys
zeal training and abstinence from all i'll
~toxicaing liquor was that the Romans
were noted TO. their endurance and
strength. Had We the same habits with
our superior civilization we should as
tonish the world by our physical. health
and strength.
