THE CHRIsTI4N CONFLICT.

1t is a battle, stern, hot relentless, that is
before you; but consecrated, blood-washed
manhood, in fellowship with the almighty
Christ, is sure to conquer, and be glorfed in
the end.
A few years ago, at the close of the late war,
saw the gathering up of all the old regimental
battle-tlags of the State of New York, and the
depositing of them in one of the public rooms
in the Capitol at Albany. 1t was public
holiday. The stores were closed. The city
was gayly dressed in flags. The President
and his staff, the Governor and his staff, and
a great many military and civic notabities
and crowds of people, were present. Those
old flags, one by one, were carried by some
officer of the regiment across the platform
upon which the President and the Governor
sat, and passed over into the charge of the
Adjutant- General of the State.
There was wonderful difference in the re-
ception which the people gave to the flags.
When neat, clean, bright, whole flag, with
stripes unstained and stars undimmed, drifted
across the platform, there were no shouts or
enthusiasm. But when some old battered
standard, with its staff broken and tied up
with ropes and bits of leather, with it's stripes
stained and bleared, and it's stars dimmed
with crimson spots; when such flag, riddled
with shot and shell, a drabbled, clouted mass
of rags, was shaken out before the people, how
they cheered, how their enthusiasm rent the
very skies
o grand, consummate hour when we shall
come marching in from our various fields of
work and sorrow and fighting, to deposit our
battle-hags at the feet Of the Great Captain of
our salvation, in the presence of the atloring
universe Be it ever remembered that the
huzzas of angels, and the twell-done ~ of God
will follow most quickly the CLEAN of the flags
most tattered and soiled. Holiday banners
will challenge no honorable response, but the
banner which has the marks of battle upon it
will wake the admiring shouts of heaven
Christ lifts his cross aloft, and with his own
pierced hands is bearing it across the world
victory. He invites us to fall into line, and
help Him conquer the world. Gladly we will
do it, and with the victory win and wear the
crown.-Reu. l. G. BidpeU.

WEARING FLANNEh.-The majority Of poo
pie are not aware of the beneficial effects of
wearing flannel next to the body, both in cold
and warm weather. Flannel is not so nncom
Portable in warm weather as prejudiced people
believe. Frequently colds and constant hack
ing coughs soon leave on adopting flannel gar
ments. There is no need of great bulk about
the waist, which condemns the wearing of
flannel with those who prefer wasp waists to
health, for in that case the flannel can be cut
as loosely fitting waists, always fastening at
the back. Scarcely are any of the effects of
sudden changes of weather felt by those who
wear flannel garments, and mothers should
endeavor to secure such for their little people,
in preference to all those snowy outside trim
mings which fashion commands.

MASONRY IN PERSII.

OF the Persian officers who are at present in
Berlin pursuing military studies and making
themselves acquainted with Prussian military
organization and arrangements, one belongs
to the Masonic order. He is Musselman.
He seems to have spontaneously sought recog-
milton as member to the craft at Berlin
lodge, and his claim was allowed only after
such an examination as satisfied the brethren
that he was one of them From the statement
of this Persian Mason, it appears that nearly
all the members of the Persian court belong
TO the mystic orler even as German Masonry
enjoys the honor of counting the emperor and
crown prince among its aderents. The
appearance of this Mohammedan Mason in
Berlin, seems to have excited little surprise
among some Of the brethren there, and the
surprise would be natural enough to persons
not aware of the extent to which Masonry has
been diffused over the earth. Account for it
one may, the truth is certain that the
mysterious order was established in the Orient
many ages ago. Nearly all of the old Moham-
medan buildings in India, such as tombs
mosques, etc, are marked with the Masonic
symbols, and many of these structures, still
perfect, were built in the time of the Mogul
Emperor Akbar, who died in 1905. Thus.
Masonry must have been introduced into India
from middle Asia by the Mohammedans
hundreds of years ago.

WHY MATCHES IGNITE.-Athough friction
matches are as common .as nails, q small
proportion of those who use them understand
the principle on which they operate. 1t is in
fact very simple affair. sThe tip of the
match is combination of sulphur and phos-
phorus. The phosphorus ignites at the heat
of one hundred and twenty degrees, which "a
slight friction will produce, and this in turn
ignites the sulphur, which requires four
hundred and fifty or five hundred degrees.
The flame of the sulphur sets fire to the pine
wood of which the matches is composed, and
which ignites at about six hundred degrees.
The combination is necessary, because the
PHOSPHORUS alone would not kinde the match,
while the sulphur alone would not ignite With
the ordinary friction.

The FELoSs AND THE BULL.--On one oc-
casion Charles Dickens was unfolding the
theory that whatever trials and difficulties
might be placed in a mans path, there is al
ways something to be thankful for.
Let me, in proof thereof said Dickens,
"relate a story. Two men were to be hanged
in Ncwgate for murder. The morning ar
rived the houI approached; the bell of ST.
Sepulchre's began to toll the convicts were
pinioned; the procession was formed it adj
vanced to the fatal beam the ropes were
adjusted around the poor mems necks; there
were thousands Of motley sight-seers of both
sexes, of all ages, men, women and children,
in front of the scaflold--when just at that
second of time, bull, which was being driven
to Snithfeld, broke its rope and charged the
mob right and left, scattering the people
everywhere with its horns whcreupon one of
the condemned men turned to his equally I'M
fortunate companion, and quietly observed :

The London Lancet gives an account of Tie
death of a young lady at Exeter, induced by
nitrous oxide Laughing gas administered to
her while undergoing dental operation. The
first symptom the patient presented under the
influence of the gas was rapidity of pulse,
with diminution of volume But the imme
diate cause of death was clearly paralysis of
respiration. There was no obstruction of the
air passages, yet, as was remarked at the in
quest, she was as powerless to breathe as
though she had been immersed in water. The
Lancet says:
"The most important lesson afforded by
this painful case is that we have yet great
deal to learn before we have perfected
an@sthesia. Toward such learning the re-
introduction of nitrous oxide has been a serious
check. Nitrous oxide, indeed is not an
anesthetic at ALL A true anasthetic is an
agent which suspends common sensbility
without, by any necessity, interfering with
those organic processes on the continuance Of
which life depends. Nitrous oxide acts not in
this way but by suspending for brief period
one of the most important of the organic pro-
cesses, that OF respiration itself. For the rea-
son named the insensibility produced by the
gas is afforded during an interval of partial
death. This interval, transient, doubtful,
dangerous, may allow an operator time for a
short operation and, the agent away, the sus-
pended function may return. Usually the
suspended function does return, more fire.
quently, in truth, than could be expected, but
not always, as we know by lamentablc proof"

Killed by kindness is a phrase which has Just
been lurdly illustrated by statistics in England
Who would have believed, save upon the au-
thority of the great Or. Lancaster, the Lon.
don coroner, that not less than 1900 tender
infants are annually smothered to death by
their mothers, who fall asleep in bed while
nursing their pledges2 Unfortunately, mo-
theirs involuntarily kill their children in great
many other ways-by absurd indulgence in
diet, by foolish exposure in dressing, and
through utter ignorance of the laws Of the
human system. The only wonder is that the
race, or at least the civilized portion of it, was
not long ago utterly exteiminated. Babies
are called tender; it strikes us that they are
remarkably tough.

POETRY.
WHY SHOULD WE CARE


Well, If the bee should sting the flower to death,
With just one drop of honey for the singing;
If the high bird should break its airy breath,
And lose the song forever with the singing,
Why should we care?
If in our magic-book no charm is found
Toeall back last nights from last nights distance
If yiolets cannot stay the whole year round,
Spite of their odor and the dew's resistance
Why should we carer
If hands nor hearts like ours have strength to hold
Fierce shining toys treasures sweet and simpe
If nothing can be held for love gold;
If kisses cannot keep baby's dimple,
Why should we care?
And If the grass is but pretty veil
Spread on our graves to hide them when we enter!
And, after gone, If light should fall,
And fires should eat thu green world to its centre,
Why should we carer
If tears dry and laughter should strange,
And if ths soul should doubt itself and falter;
Since God is God, and He never change,
The fashions of the earth and heaven may alter,
Why should we care?

WATCHING FOR PAPA.

She always stood upon the steps,
Just by the cottage door,
Waiting to kiss me, when came,
Each night home from the store.
Her eyes were like two glorious stars
Dancing in heavens own blue:
Papa" she'd call, like wee bird,
"rs lootin' out for you"
Alas how sadly do our lives
Change as we onward roam;
For now, no birdie voice calls out
To bid me welcome home.
No little arms stretch out to me,
No blue eyes, dancing bright,
Are peeping from the cottage door,
When come home at night.
And yet, it comforts me to think
That when I'm called away
From scenes below, to those of bright
And everlasting day,
a little angel Mt the gate,
With eyes divinely blue,
Will call with birdie voice, "Papa,
rs lootin' out for you"
