DIR. NEwMAN.-The question is often
asked why DIR. Newman has continued for
so MANY wears to hide, not his one, but his
ten talents under n napkin, and to lavish
on the untutored ears of birmingham
artisans those matchless powers of pulpit
eloaueuce which would tell with so much
better effect OH the cultivated audiences of
Farm street or the Oratory. The influence
he commands and great it undoubtedly is,
comes not of any effort made by himself to
gain it, for AN who know him are fully
aware how he has ever shrunk from party
attachments. and still more from party
leadership. 1t is the unboughtand unsoughL
homage elected by his matchless talents,
his profound learning, his single minded
ness, unselfishness, and the fragrance of
life of unbIemished sanctity.
Dr. Newman is by far the greatest mind,
and he is the greatest man, i'll the Catholic
Church in England. He was the instru-
mcnt chosen by God to turn the hearts and
minds of thousands in the Anglican Com
munion towards the Catholic Church. nls

SUMMER sEAsEs.-Diarrhna is a
very common disease in summer time
Cholera is nothing more then exaggerat-
ed diarrhea. When man has died of
diarrhea, he has died of cholera, in
reality. 1t may be we'll for travellers to
know that the first, the most important,
and the most indispensable thing in the
arrest and cure of looseness of the bow
els is absolute quietude on bed; nature
herself always prompts this by disin-
clining us to locomotion. The next thing
is to eat nothing but common rice parch-
ed like coffee, and taken with little
salt and butter. Drink little or no liq-
uor of any kind. Bits of ice may be
eaten and swallowed at will. Every step
taken in diaprhea, every spoonful of
liquor, only aggravates the disease. If
locomotion is compulsory, the misfortune
may be lessoned by having stout piece
of wooden bound tightly round the abb
domin, so as to be doubled in front, and
kept well in its place. In the practice
of many years we have never failed to
notice gratifying result to follow these
observances.-HaEs Journal of Health.

TO SEE DowN A WELL.-The New
Hampshire Journal Of Agriculture sug-
gests plan for exploring the bottom Of
a well:
1t is not generally known how easy
a matter it is to explore the bottom Of
well, cistern, or pond Of water, by the
use Of q common mirror. When the sun
is shining brightly, hold mirror 50 that
the reflected rays of light will fall into
the water. A bright spot will be seen
at the bottom, SO light as to show the
smallest object very plainly. By this
means we have examined the bottoms
of wells fifty feet deep, when half full or
more Of water. The smallest straw or
other objects can be perfectly seen from
the surface. In the same way one can
examine the bottom Of ponds and riv-
ers, if the water be somewhat clear, and
not agitated by winds or rapid motion.
If well or cistern be under cover, or
shaded by buildings. 90 that the sunlight
will not fall near the opening it is only
necessary to employ two mirrors, using
one to reflect the light to the opening
and another to throw it down perpendic-
ularly into the water. Light may be
thrown fifty or hundred yards to the
precise spot desired, and then downward.
We have used the mirror with success
to reflect light around the field to .
shaded field, and also to carry it from
south window through two rooms, and
then into cistern under the north side
Of the house. Half dozen reflections
of light may be made. though each mir
ror diminishes the brilliancy of the light.
Let any one, not familiar with the emeth-
cd, try it, and he will not only find it
useful, but . pleasant experiment. It
will, perhaps, reveal mass of sediment
at the bottom of q well that has been
little thought Of, but which may have
a fruitful source of disease, by its decay
in the water.

A girl in one Of the New York pub
lie schools applied to her teacher for
leave to be absent half day on the plea
that they had company at home. The
teacher referred her to the printed LIST
of reasons that the school committee
think sufficient to justify absence, and
asked her if her case came under any of
them. She naively replied that it ullxht
come under the head Of 'tDomsstic -
fiction."
