Use OF Ice.

In health no one ought to drink ice
water, for IL has oecaSiOned fatal inf1as
nations of the stomach and bowels,
and sometimes sudden death. The
temptation to drink it is very great in
summer; TO use it at all with any safe
ty, the person should take but q single
swallow at time, take the glass from
the lips for half minute, and then an
other swallow, and so on. It will be
found that in this way it becomes disa-
greeable after few mOnthfuls.
On the other hand, ice itself may be
taken as freely as possible, not only
without injury, but with the most
striking advantage in dangerous forms
of disease. If broken in sizes of q pea
or bean, and swallowed as freely as
practicable without much chewing or
crushing between the teeth, it will of
ten be- efficient in checking various
kinds of diarrhoea, and has cured vio-
lent eases of Asiatic cholera.
A kind of cushion Of powdered ice
kept to the entire scalp has allayed vio-
lent inflammation Of the brain, and ar
rested fearful commissions induced by
too much blood there. In Group, wa
ter as cold as ice can make it, applied
freely to the throat, neck and chest,
with sponge or cloth, very often Rf-.
fOrds an almost miraculous relief; and
if this be followed by drinking copi-
Ously of the same ice~cold element, the
wetted part wiped dry, and the child be
wrapped well in bed-clothes, it will fall
into a delightful and life-giVing slum

The Tower Of Babel.

y writer describes the present appear
ance of the place where languages got
mixed: after a ride of nine miles
we were al the foot of the Bier's MINI
rood. Our horses feet were tramplinp
upOn the remains of bricks, which
showed here and there through the ac-
cumulated dust and rubbish Of ages.
Before our eyes UpTGse 4 great mound
of earth, barren and bare. This WAS
ARier Nimrood, the ruins of the tower
Babel, by which the first builders OF
Rrth had vainly hoped to scalC
heaven. Here, also, it was that
dchadnezZar built for bricks bear

lins. At the top Of the mound Il great
pass of brick-wOrk pierces the accu-
iulated soil. With your finger you
A2ch the very bricks-iarge, square
ed and masSiVe--that were thor
zIy' burned, the very mortar, the
e. now hard as granite, handled
lore than four thousand years ago by
earths' impiOus people. From the
summit of her mound far away over
the plain, We see glistening brilliant a.
a star, the gilded dome OF mosque,
that caught and reflected fine bright
rays of the morning sun. This glitter
ing speck was the tomb Of the holy
Ali. To pray before this at somc peri
od of his life to kiss the sacred dust of

other; 10 bend his body and count his

AnecdOte OF 4 Bear.

Leopold, Duke of Lorraine, had 4
| bear named Marco, which was kept in
a small den or hut, placed in Il barn.
during the winter of 1909, some Yer
poor people, who had liked to have
perished with the cold, went into In
barn for shelter. Among the poor peO-
pie there was a little boy, who, being
cold, and seeing that Marcos den was
snug and warm a'Svent into it,
without thinking anger of do
ing so. Marco, he instead of
tearing the poor IDD+eiIoW all IN
pieces, as might have been expected,
took him between his paws and hug
ged him up to his breast, and kept him
warm and comfortable until morning !;
he then let him go to ramble about the
city. At evening he returned to the
bear, who was glad 70 see him, and
took him between his paws to keep
him warm as before. For several
nights the poor little boy had no other
place to sleep but with the bear, and
what is still more singular, the animal
kept part of his food 10 give him when
he came. The keeper of the bear knew
nothing Of this for number of days
At length going one evening later than
usual, to give the bear his supper, he
was surprised TO see the animal roll his

that the animal did not seize upo
as usual, but lay still without toucE
it, for fear, as he supposed, of awal

A report Of this strange story waSN
soon carried to the Duke, who, with
some of his mobiles, wished TO see SO Gu
riOus and interesting a sight with their
own eyes. They, therefore, one night,
went and stayed near the bears hut,
where they could now andathen look
in and see what was gOipg~on. They
saw, with astonishment, that the ami
NAL never stirred, 50 long as the boy
lay still and continued to sleep. The
child awoke very early in the morn
ing, and was much ashamed TO find

ing at him he was also afraid of being
punished for being found there. The
bear all this time was trying to make
the boy eat what had been brought To
him the night before, and which he
finally did at the request of the gentle
men. The Duke was so much pleased
At this singular friendship, that lie had
the little boy fed and taken care OF.

ded: "Yes." For q ride on q loqE

sions when q locomotive ride is intense
ly exciting. And so we sat down by
friend Fountaine, q man who has driv-
eli his iron horse millions of miles, With
never an accident that resulted in
physical harm to any one, feeling a
sense OF security in his superior skillV
as we drew out over the open prairie
Only twelve miles and the fun wOult
begin. Then we should meet another
hOmeward bound train on competing
line of road, and for nearly twenty
miles, over an arrowy track, solid a.
adamant, we should have an OppOrtu-
nifty to see the best engine win. The
fireman evidently thinks we shall need
steam when the time comes, for he docs
not neglectihis duty. Standing on the
tender, at length we see a trail Of smoke;
it is but for an instant, as all IS quickly
hidden by intervening foliage. The
furnace-dOOr is closed, a little more
steam let on, and we are moving at the
rate of forty miles an hour. Quick as
thought, only a hundred rods behind,
comes the train, fairly flying ut q fifty
mile rate! Will she pass us? No! 1t
can not be! Fountaine shOrtens stroke,
draws the throttle, but it is too late.
From every car-window hang out the
white signals of victory. We are three
lengths behind. Steady! We are cut

is no longer any jar. We fly. We are

The strength or jJcR. Animals and
Insects.

y man Ui thirty, weighing un an Iy-
erage a hundred and thirty pounds,
can drag, according to Regnier, only
hundred and thirty pounds. The pro-
portion Of the weight drawn 70 thc
weight of his body j. 80 nOTG than a.
twelve to thirteen. y draught horse
can exert only for = few instances an
effort equal TO about twO-thirdS of his
own proper weight. The man there
fore, Is stronger than the horse. But
according TO PlaUteau, the smaller in
sect draws without difficulty five, >iN,
ten, or twenty times its own weight.
The cockcafer draws fourteen times IL
own weight and more. Other coieop-
terra are able to put themselves into
equilibrium with q force OF traction
reaching as high as fUrJy-two times
their own weight. Insects, therefore
when compared with the velterbrata
which we employ as beasts of dTaught,
have enormous muscular power. II a
horse had the same relative strength as
Il donacia, the traction il could exercise
would be equivalent toASty thousand
pounds. NJ. Plateau has also adduced
evidence of the fact that, in the same
group Of insects, if you compare two
insects, notably differing la weight, the
smaller and lighter viii manifest the
greater strength.

hal Mastai Ferretti. Although
ere had never before been any men
ton of hiAselectiOn, there were thirteen
of the aug cardinals who knew of the
piety, the Tn integrity of his charac-
ter, and del I'd him worthy Of tbissex-
alted position
Far away o.. ie s'aslmpas of Buenos
Ayres, amid tho lofty Andes, and by
the coast of the Pacific Ocean, he had
fulfilled the divine command of the Sa-
viour: "Preach ye the. Gospel to all
nations" To save the erring, to cheer
the fainting heart, to sustain the cour-
age of the faithful, had been his mis-
sion. He had no ambition for power,
no wish to possess it, and he trembled
as he proceeded to open the ballots
Each contained his name. When he
came to the last one he paused, and
asked that some other cardinal should
be directed to read it. This could not
be allowed. So he opened it, and pro-
nounced his own name for the thirty
sixth time (the number of votes re-
quired for an election
Words of delight and murmurs of
satisfaction filled the chapel. But Mas
tai FerretIi appeared not to hear them.
He sank upon his knees in earnest
prayer, unheeding all around him. So
devout and saint-like was the express
sion Of his noble face, 80 meek and
humble his attitude, that all bowed be-
fore him in reverence, convinced that
in selecting him they had chosen q
pontitf worthy to be the successor of
the holy Saint Peter.
An immense multitude was Assem-
bled on the Piazza di Monte Cavallo,
eagerly watching the smoke which
arose from the burning ballots which

When it all vanished, p door on the
balcony in front of the palace was
opened, and it was announced that
Cardinal Mastai Ferretti had been chO-
sen as Pope of Rome. Then the deep
silence of anxious expectation was bro
ken by Joyous and eXulting shouts,
which swelled over the city, fioated far
out over the wide campagna, and even
cTept down into the dungeons, where
prisoners had languished for long and
weary years.
Rome was wild with delight, and
hope blaZed up in many heart fast
sinking into despair. The "GoOd Car
dinal'' was the affectionate appellation
constantly applied to him, for he was
well known to the poor and the sorrow
stricken as full of Kindness and charity
toward them. All were certain that
justice and mercy would prevail i'll his
councils.
A new life seemed to possess the RO-
man people. Clouds vanished from
their stern faces, and words of Joy were
heard everywhere. The dungeOn-dOOrs
were opened, and prisoners told to come
forth, for they were free once more
free once more To look upon the light
Of loving eyes.

phant, and glorious were those days in

Yet, fair one, with fond emotion

And cannot all forget!
As the sorrowing turtle mourneth

Thus TO thee my spirit turneth,

But It's sinful thus to mourn thee,
While ann'' sr claims thy hand
Then, as memory never sleepeth,
All throughout our varying track,
But our souls fond idols keepeth,
And TO loved ones wanderS back,
will deem thee, grateful duty,
Far too bright for mortal bliss;
Thou shalt be nympth of beauty,
Efom some brighter CLINE than this!
None shall know I was thy lover,
While roam through life apart,
Or thine image e'er discover,
Locked within my faithful hearts
Yet that image viii I cherish,

And it shall nOL-cannot perish,
Till my heart forget to beat!
