SOCIAL HoNoR-Every person should G. eul-

SOCIAL HoNoR-Every person should cul-
tivate anicesense ofhonor. In hundred differ
ent ways this most fitting adjunct of the true
lady or gentleman is often tried. For instance,
one is guest in family where, perhaps, the
domestic machinery does not run smoothly.
There is sorrow in the house unsuspected by
the outer world. Sometimes it is a dissipated
son whose conduct is a shame and grief to
his parents, sometimes relative whose eccen-
tricities and peculiarities are a cloud on the
home. Or, worst of all, husband and wife may
not be in accord, and there may be often bitter
words spoken, and harsh recriminations. In
any of those cases the guest is in honor bound
to be blind and deaf, so far as people without
are concerned. If a gentle word within can do
good, it may be well said; ; but to go forth and
reveal the shadow of an unhappy secret to any
one, even your friend, is an act of indelicacy
and meanness almost unparalleled. Once in
the sacred precincts of any home, admitted
to its privacy sharing its Life, all that you see
and hear should become sacred trust. 1t is
as really contemplate to gossip about such
things as it would be to steal the silver or bor-
row the books and forget to return them.

= A correspondent of the London Tine

A correspondent of the London Times
writes from India:
~The Roman Catholic Bishop of Batang, on
the confines of Thibet, China and Burmah,
sends to India terrible account of an earth
eaake in that region, affecting an area of one
hundred and eighty by ninety miles. The
event occurred on the 11th of April, and his
last letter is dated the 30th of May. Consider
ing that the missionaries there can communi-
cate only by Shanghai, the transit OF the letters
has been rapid. Last year, it may be remem-
bered, there was very destructive earthquake
in the, in one sense, adjoining British district
of Cachar. A shock at five in the morning
and stronger shock at noon were followed at
sunset by an earthquake which leyeled the
whole town and killed or bruised half the pop
ulasion. The missionaries escaped to their
garden, and only one of their servants persisted;
The large and splendid Lamaserai, inhabited
by three thousand Lamas, fell with crash.
"The Chinese official reports, which Dr.
Chauveau tells us are little exaggerated, estl-
mate the loss of human life at Alb Lama
priests, 81 soldiers and 2,S13 common people
A series of earthquake shocks were felt as tar
as Pung-montang, where Mr.. I. I. Cooper met
Seer S1ggutsing, the Nepaulese Ambassador, in
1868. The village and many others are de-
stroyed, and 80 many Of the authorities and the
soldiers have been buried under the ruins of
their houses that robbers, like wild beasts, run
everywhere To conclude, in the bishops own
words, the imperial highway from Pekin to
LHassa seems, and is said to be now, totally
impracticable near Kong-dze-tin by the fall of
q mountain and the sudden upheaving of new
one.'"

SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION OF WoMEN.-Few
have yet realized the enormous gain that will
accrue to society from the scientific education
of our women. If, as we are constantly being
told, the Sphere of woman" is at home, what
duty can be more clearly incumbent upon us
than that of giving her the opportunity of &C
quiring knowledge Of the laws which ought
to guide her in the rule of her house? Every
woman on whom the management of a house
hold devolves may profit by such knowledge
If the laws of health were better known, how
much illness and sorrow might be averted
What insight would knowledge of chemistry
afford into the wholesomeness or unwholesome-
ness of different articles of food What added
zest would be given to country walk with the
children, or month by the seaside, if the
mother were able to teach the little ones intel
ligently to observe and revere the laws of Ma
ture Above all, what untold sufferings, what
wasted lives, are the penalty we have paid for
the prudish ignorance of the physiology of
their bodily frame in which we have kept our
daughters!
