CIergymen's SOre-Thrcat.

We have communications asking
advice on this subject. The minis
terial malady seems to be on the in
crease. There are several causes
why clergyn-en are more subject to
the "throat-ail" than are lawyers,
legislators, lecturers, singers. dra-
matists, and other talking persona
ges. The clergyman leads more
sedentary life. He is more indoors
He is more confined to his desk in
calculating his labors and arranging
his sermons. Moreover, clergymcn,
as a class, are reckless in the matter
Of hygienic habits. This is not so
much from ignorance as from neces-
sity. 1t is not so much because they
are not intelligent with respect to
health conditions, as it is because
they have little self-ownership. They
are liable to be called away any mo-
ment, and to be required to do ex-
ira duty at home at any moment.
HINGE they are usually toobusy with
other subjects to attend to health
matters, even if they have time to
study them. They arc apt to inter
pref the injunctiOns of the Apostle,
''Take no heed of what ye shall eat,
drink, or put on" too literally. They
may have a wholesome regard for
what they put on, because selecting
or being measured for q suit of
clothes, or for clothes enough to last
year, only requires a few minutes.
But eating and exercising take time;
and SO does the preparation for
them. So does the preparation af-
ter them. II the hurried minister
undertakes to digest hisftext for the
next sermon while he is eating his
dinner, he will certainly not digest
the dinner in the best manner, what
ever may happen to the text. He
cahnot live a fast life" with impuni-
ty more than others.
Ministers should have play
ground, or play-room some sort of
a gymnasium, with a museum at
tachment of pictures, or objects of
natural history or art. These would
induce them to exercise regularly
and compel them to sec something
interesting while exercising, so they
should not lose the benefit of the ex-
ercise by studying theology mean
while. 1t should be Il religious du-
ty with them to spend half an hour
before each meal, and an hour after,
In the museum, when not otherwise
pleasantly exercised. They should
at all events have something to see,
to do, or TO suffer, that would pre-
vent study for certain hours, of each
day.-FroBl Science of Health.

Criminal Secrecy.

The martinets of the medical profess
sion insist that it is beneath the dignity
of a regular physician to advertise. If
a member of the faculty should discover
an absolute remedy for any disease, it
would be a breach of professional deco
rum to offer the specific for sale through
the journals of the day. Scorning such
prejudices. one of our leading practi-
TONERS is now making known to the
public, through the columns of over
three thousand newspapers, one of the
most comprehensive remedies for dis
ease that has ever assuaged the suffer
ings of humanity. DIR. Walkers Cali

Used through all the channels accessible

has been the preservation of thousands
of lives, and the prevention of an untold
amount of physical torture. DR.. Walk

greatest number" is the true object of
medical science, and hence he steps
bCldly out of the contracted circle of
professional exclusiVencss, and places

put him forward as so much IN adj

it is difficult to comprehend that

They are to be farmers, John is TO

and this all at the expense of the
other boys No books for them, no
amusements or instruct ion, hardly a

above the drudgery of daily labor.
Is it s range that they should "sour"

should seek to break the bonds which
are 50 irksome at the first opportu-
nifty? Is there anything to encour-

Health Of School Children.

The medical college of Middlesex,
Massachusetts, having for a long
time considered the influence of pub
lie schools on the health of children,
authorized the publication of the fol-
lowing facts as the opinion of its
members:
/. No Child shall be allowed to at
tend school before the beginning of
his sixth year.
2. The duration of daily attend
ance-including the time given to
recess and physical exercises-should
not exceed four or five hours for pri-
mary schools; five and half for
other schools.
B. There should be no study re-
CURED out Of school-unless at HIGH
school; and this should not exceed
one hour.
4. Recess time should be devoted
to play outside the school room-un-
less IN stormy weather-and, as the
time rightfully belongs to the pupils,
they should not be deprived of it ex-
cePt for serious offences; and those
who are not deprived Of it, should
not be allowed to spend it in study;
no child will be confined to the
school room during an entire ses-
sion. The minimum of recess time
should be fifteen minutes each ses-
ton, and In primary schools there
! should be more than one recess IL
each session.
5. Physical exercises should be
used in schooI to prevent nervous
and muscular fatigue, and relieve
mOnotoay, but not as muscular train
ing 1t should be practiced by both
teacher and children in every houl
not broken by recess, and should be
timed by music. In primary schools
every half hour should be broken by
exercises, recess or singing.
6. Ventilation should be amply
provided for by other means than by
open windows, though these should
be used III addition to special means
during recess and exercise time.
Z. Lessons should be Scrupulous
! ly appOrtioned to the average capa
city of the pupils, and in primary
schools tho slate should be uset
more and the book less; and the in
structions should be given as mucl
as possible on the principle of cob

This long established preparation has
acquired an extensive and very merito-
rious reputation. It is used for promo
ting the growth of aud identifying the
hair, and rendering it dark and glossy.
The Cocoaine holds, in liquid form, q
large proportion of cocoanut oil, pre-
pared expressly for this purpose. Nc
other compound possesses the peculiar
properties which so exactly suit the va
rious conditions of the hair. It softenS
the hair when harsh and dry, and its nat
ural adoption for infants and adults o.
both sexes, or for the dressing of artili
cial hair, has given it great renown.

VALUABLE RECIPES.

BARLEY CoFFEE-Take common
barley, or the skinless if it can be OBJ
tanned, roast as you would coffee,
mix in such proportions as suits
our taste. 1t is We ry good.
MUFFINs.-One quart of flour,
pint of warm milk, little yeast. two
eggs, little salt, two spoonfuls of
butter, melted; let it set to rise,
when light put in rings.
To KEEP HANS IN TIE SUMNER
Cut in slices and trim off the rind
and outside; fry it about half as
much as you would for the table
Pack it tightly in jars; pour over it
the fat that has been fried out of it,
close the jars tight, set them in a
cool place, and when used give it q
second frying.
Ham ToAsT.- Chop some lean ham,
put in pan, with little pepper, a
lump Of butter and two eggs beaten;
when well warm ed, spread it on hot
buttered toa t, and serve.
70 To CURE FRECKLEs.-Take two
ounces of lemon juice, half drachm
of powdered bOTaX, and one drachm
of sugar. Nix together and let
them stand In a glass bottle for few
days, then rub it ON the hands and
face occasionally.
AN IMPROVED METHOD OF COOKING
BEETs.-Bake them it requires about
two hours to cook a medium sized
beet. We hardly think that any
person Will resort to the old method
of boiling them after eating one meal
of baked beets.
SWEET PICKLE (PEAcHEs) Boil a
pickle made of one pint and half of
cider vinegar, three poumdsO of sugar;
with mace, cloves and cinnamon,
pour this boiling hot over six pounds
fruit-plums require FIVE pounds OF
sugar to six pounds of fruit.
CoRN-STARcH PASTE. starch
makes the best paste for scrap-books.
Dissolve small quantity in cold
water, then cook it thoroughly. Be
careful and not get it too thick.
When cold it should be thin enough
to apply with Il brush. 1t will not
mold or stain the paper. 1t is the
kind usei by daguerreotypists on
gen" pictures.
PEPPER SAUCE One peck, or one
hundred pods of bell-pePpers, take
out the seed, and add one gallon OF
vinegar, boil until soft enough to
strain, then add two table-spoonfuls
Of mustard, three Of salt, one OF
black pepper, three of sugar, and a
half-pint of onions chopped fine; add
spice if wanted; boil after mixing I'M
| til the onions are cooked.
Flour PUDDING.-Take one quart
of sweet milk, one teaspoonful OF
salt, half q teacup of sugar; mix,
boil and thicken with one teacup OF
-four, wet with cold milk, and stir
until it boils again, then remove
from the fire. When half cold add
two well-beaten eggs, flavor with
nutmeg or lemon. Add raisins il
you choose. Bake half an hour. To
be eaten cold, with or without sweet
! ened cream.

Subsection of Man to Conditions.

In whatever relation we view man
and his actions, we almost invaria-
bly, find that though we are taught
that he is free agent, nevertheless
the evidence of the domination of
conditions governing and controlling
his actions sooner or later looms into
view.
II, for example, we examine into
the causes Of mortality, we find that
his condition or occupations exert an
all-important influence on the dura-
tion of his life. If he is very poor,
his chance of death is half as much
again as if he were rich, and as re-
CARDS profession, QuetEete shows
that in Germany, for twenty-four
doctors that reach the age Of seventy,
thirty-tWo military men and forty
two theologians obtain their three
score and ten.
If we inquire into his honesty. we
find that It depends on his age to a
certain extent, for between the ages
of twenty-one md twenty-five the
tendency to theft is double what it
is between the ages of thirty-fve and
forty. On this aud other crimes ed
ucAtion has n very important infu-
ence, as is shown IN Quetelet's Stats
tics of crime In France and England.
In the former country, out of one
hundred criminals, sixty-one could
not read or write, twenty-seven could
read imperfectly, and only twelve
could read and write well. In Eng
land, thirty-six could not road atall
sixty-one could read and write i'm.
perfectly, and only three could read
and write well.
Actions which appear on the sur
face to depend entirely on the vii
of the individual are also strangely
influenced by apparently trivial csus
es. Statistics of suicide by hanging
for example, show that the maximum
of such cases occurred between sir
and eight in the morning; the mum
Der decreased slightly till noon, anC
then dropped suddenly to the mini
mum, there being 123 cases between
ten and twelve o'clock against onl,
80 between twelve and two o'clock
The number rose in the afternoon t.
104 cases between four and six, drop
ping to an average of about Il
through the night, the second mini
mum, &c. being between two anC
four o'clock in the morning. How
clearly the influence of the mid
day meal and the midnight sleep ar
marked in their elevation of tn,
mental tone, while the depression 0
the morning and afternoon at tn
prospect of another day or night o
misery is likewise indicated by Tia
increased number that sought relic
in self-destruction.
Another instance of this inhuenc,
of obscure laws on the actions 0
man is the statement by NJ Quetcle
that, in Belgium, out of 10000 mar
riages in each period of five year
from 1841 to 1865, 6 men eyed from
10 to 45 married women aged 60 o
more. NJ Quetelet thereupon re
marks: "It is curious to see man
proudly entilling himself King o
Nature, and fancying himself con
trolling all things by his free will
yet submitting, unknown to himself
more vigorously than any other be
ing in creation, to the laws to whicl
he is under subsection. These law
are co-ordina'ed with such wisdom
that they even escape his attention.

1t is not at all wholesome to be in
a hurry. Locomotives have been
reported to have been moved a mile
in minute for a short distance.
But locomotives have often come to
grief by such great rapidity. Mui-
titudes, in their haste to get rich,
are ruined every year. The men
who do things maturely, slowly, de-
iberately, are the men who oftenest
succeed in life. People who are
habitually in hurry generally have
to do things twice over. The tor
toise beats the hare Mt last. Slow
men seldom knock their brains out
against post.
