A minister of the gospel was asked
to visit poor dying woman. Ihe
messenger being ignorant, could
give no account Of her state, except
that she was a very good woman,
and very happy, and was now, at the
end OF well-spent life, therefore,
sure Of going to heaven.
The min ster went, saw she was
very IL, and after u few kindly in-
ouiries about her bodily condition,
said, "Well, | understand you are in
u very peaceful state Of mind, de-
pending upon well spent life. -
The dying woman looked hard at
him and said: Eyes, l am in the en-
loyment of peace" You are quite
right; sweet peace, and that from a
well-spent life, Butitistho wcll-spont

not my own merits, but His redeem

Hints on Health.

Coarse bred is better for children
than fine. Children should sleep in
separate beds, and should not wear
night-caps, Children under seven
years Of age should not be confined
over six or seven hours in the house,
and that time should be broken by
frequent reccsses Children ard
young people must be made to hold
their heads up and their shoulders
back, while sitting, standing or walk
ing. The best beds for children are
of hair and cotton. From one to
one pound and q half of solid foods
sufficient for a person i'll the ordlna-
ry avocat'on of business Persons
in sedentary omploymonts should
drop one-third of their food, and
they will escape Indigestion, Young
persons should exercise at least two
hours u day in the open air. Young
ladies should be prevented from
bandaging the chest. We have
known the worst disease, tcrmina-

Tha Sick Chamber nt Night.

The glare of bright light at night
tends to keep an invalid from sleep
ing. and yet, in many cases, 1t Is not
desirable to be in total darkness. Ii
u burning candle has common salt
nut ON the melted part of the candle,
until it reaches the black part OF the
wick, it will not only Cause the can
die to burn very slow, but make it
give a dim, mild and mellow light,
proving very agreeable to the lnva-
lid.
Another expedlent in this connec-
ton: A room can be very well ven
tilated, in the hotter nights, bylight-
ing candle and placing it on the
hearth in the fire place; this causes q
draught upwards, which ispromoted
by the fresh air coming in at the
open window or door In the win
ter, a fire should be always burning
in the CRATE or fireplace, more ne
cessary at night than in the daytime
it not only keeps the air Of the room

Tho Childrcn's Land.


One of the first things that strikes
the attention of an Englishman
in Germany when he begins to get
a little inslf hit into the life of the
people is the equality and sympathy
existing between parents and chill
dron. In no country do parents
take moro pains to enter the voty |
hearts and lives of their children
than here. They very early make
them acquainted with their plans,
talk with them as with oldor people,
never 20 on m excursion, or journey
without them, and search everywhere
for whatever will minister to their
amusement and instruction. In no
home would we sooner expect to find
II ia her turning himself into II horse,
an elephant, or n camel, ON the par
lor floor, Tor his children to ride him,
roll him over, or do with him what
they please, than i'll a German one
and tho cltrgyman's as soon as
any other. There ere probably five
juvenile household games in Germa-
ny to one anywhere else, and the pa
rents exercise wido discretion by
having frequent entertainments for
their children, and providing every
hiring possible for the amusement of
all, to make their homes the most
attractive spot on earth to the little
folks. The child that asks a quos-
tion is rot met with a blunt answer
but with such II rcply-as pleasant
and instructive as the parent knows
how to give~-ns naturally promotes
other inquiries and gives stimulus
to the mind
One of tho causes of the equality
between the old aud young here lies
in the fact, that the child, at any
rate, the oldest boy, is expected to
follow his fathers business, and must
early share his plans. The same
house, the same employment, and
sometimes, perhaps, the same gen.
Grafton of customers, are identified
with the same family and name, tc

CuriOus Experiments with Ice.

Professor Bottomly of GLASGOW
University, i'll u recent lecture to his
class, placed lump of ice as large
as an apple on piece of wire Gauze,
and on this board Weighing twelve
pounds. Before the conclusion OF
the lecture, u considerable quantity
Of ice was found on he lower side OF
the gauze, firmly united to that above
though apparently forced through
the meshes in room at Id deg Y.
$50 deg. F.) In u second experiment
he placed block of ice on two par
allel boards near together, passed n
loop of wire over the ice, and hung
WEIGHTS on the ends. Various sizes
of wire were tried, and i'll the final
experiment wire one-tonth OF IN
inch in diameter was used, weight
ed with Sc pounds. 1t passed en-
tirely through the block OF ice, anu
fell on the floor; but this block of ice
though the plain of passage was
clearly marked, was not divided, nor
could II be split in this plane with a
knife or chisel.
This remarkable result he explains
to be IL consequence of Thompson
theory of regulation. The stress
upon the ice, due to the pressure Of ;l
the wire, gives it tendency to melt
at the point in contact with the wire
and the ice, in the form OF water III
termixed with fragments and ne"
CRYSTALS, moves 80 as to removes IT.
self of pressure. AS soon as any
portion of the mass is thus relieved
freezing takes place through it, be
cause it's temperature is reduced be
low that of the freezing point OF wa
ter at ordinary pressures, by melt
ing contiguous parts. The obvious
tendency of the ice under the pres
sure from above is thus, by a serie
of MEETINGS and refreezings, to ALLOW
the passage of the wire and yet re
mains solid block.
