THERE Is NO DEATH If it be true
that Nature abhors vacuum. it is
equally true that the Great Creator ab-
hors death and glories in life. There
is really no such thing AS death-the
term Is q nisnomer, used to designate
the changes which occur in life. Life,
eternal life, is created by the laws of
Almighty will-power, which are as i'm
mutable in their application as is the
existence of the Creator Himself. When
God made life, He made everything
necessary to sustain it, but left it for
mans progressive intelligence to dis
cover, convert and utilize. Good medi-
cine is to the ailing physique what good
fuel is to the expiring flame; the better
the fuel. the quicker the fire-the better
the medicine, the quicker comes relief
from pain. CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BIT

Miscellany
a Good Woman.


There are plenty of women ready TO
90 into the gilded saloons OF fashion.
The perfume of the flowers, filling the
air with fragrance. the music gushing
out in bursts of melody; the radiant
lights, falling in streams OF brightness
around the blazing gems and the gor-
geous robes of silk and satin; and the
soft tones of fiattery, and the seductive
dance, all this is captivating to the
senses of woman.
Not so the dreary prison-the abode
of misery and crime, the den OF DIRT,
and the home Of woe. When woman
seeks place like this ); when she carries
her purity and goodness, her gentleness
and refinement into the midst ofribsldry
and vulgarity, of discord and dirt and
wretchedness, Heaven inspires her, or
she could not perform the task. Few
women have the heart for prison work !;
while many women have the heart Tor
the saloons of pleasure. .-
Elizabeth Fry was fitted by nature for
the work she undertook. She was cour-
ageous, resolute, seif-sacrificmg. yet
quiet, meek, and gentle. 1t was tins
combination of qualities which gave
power and made successful the efforts
of this devoted Quaker woman. Without
these her labor would have been III vain.
When Elizabeth Fry commenced her
work, Newgate prison was indeed a
terrible place. Men and women crimi-
mails were herded together, the place was
filed with the sounds of cursing and
vulgarity; dirt, disease, and discord
was all around. But how soon this
angel of mercy turned darkness to light,
as she raised her voice to counsel, to
comfort, and to teach. She formed
schools for the prisoners; the women
began TO employ themselves IN knitting
and sewing she preached to the cap
tives, she drew them to her by chords
of love. She did not upbraid, nor speak
harshly; ont Of the deep of her heart
carne only the pure pearls of charity.
The world looked on an4-zed at the
wonderful success in prison reform
effected by this Quaker woman, and
where it had doubted, it now believed.
She visited the prisons OF other conn
tries, aud effected similar reforms. She
never wearied of her task, and sought
no other reward than the smiles of her
Heavenly Father. Thus, for thirty years.
quietly, persistently, coursgeously and
effectrally she followed mp her good
work, and left name when she died
that will never grow dim, q memory
that will never perish so long as the
world reverences goodness and admires
self sacrifice in woman.

Love IN THE FAMILY.-
Love is the little golden clasp
That blipdeth upthe trust;
oh. break Il not, lest all the leaves
Shall sratfar snd h. Lost


o - oh. break Il not, lest all the leaves
Shall scatter and be lost.
The heart of child is easily won.
Love begets love. Love children and
they will love you. Let children feel
that you care for them, and you are in
terested in all that interests them, that
you sympathize with them in all their
sorrows, rejoice with them in all their
joys, show you are their friend, and
haye the key to their hearts. Teachers,
do you wish to be loved by your pupils?
Love them. Children read hearts in
tuitively. s.a. .-r- -.f
We have not half confidence enough
in the power of love to disarm the vio-
lent and to reclaim the vicious. The
fault begins in our families. Parents
lose the confidence in their children,
never to be regained, by injustice, sell
ishness, and the absence of love. Love
is the grand secret in domestic educa-
tion. Give your children genial low
ing atmosphere in which to grow. Love
precludes not decision or correction,
but is prompt il the execution of both.

BoRAx AND CLEANSING BLANKET4-
The following is a good method of
cleansing blankets: Put two large tea
spoonfnls of borax and q pint bowl
of soft soap into a tub of cold
water. When dissolved, put in pair
of blankets, and let them remain over
night. Next day rub and drain them
ont, and rinse thoroughly in two wa
tiers, and hang them to dry. Do not
wiring them. But this is not the only
domestic use to which borax may be
put. Borax is the best cockroach ex-
terminator yet discovered. This trou-
blesome insect has a peculiar aversion
to it, and will never return where il has
once been scattered. AS the salt is per-
fectly harmless to human beings, it is
much to be preferred for this purpose
to the poisonous substances commonly
used. Borax is valuable for the laun-
dry; use n. to about ten gallons of
boiling water, and you need only one
half the ordinary allowance of soap. For
laces, cambr;cs, ETC., use an extra guam
tity Of powder. 1t will not injure the
texture of the cloth in the least. For
cleansing the hair, nothing is better
than o solution of borax water. Wash
afterwards with pure water If it leaves
the hair too stiff. BorsI dissolved in
water is as also an excellent dentrifrice,
or tooth wash. .... .....

THE BEST WAY OF RoAsTISa CHEST
NUTs.-In the South of France chest
nuts are first put into a pan Of cold
water, placed on the fire, and boiled
until nearly soft. They are then taken
out, each chestnut receiving a small
slit on the rind with knife, after which
they are put into a large fiat pan (sn or

over glowing fire until they become

A MARVEL 0uTDoNK.-hlr. Finlay son,

which she bears about with her in her
voyages around tire loch. It is now in

Now, Mr.. Finlayson, he added, '.csn

clearing his throat, and adding: when

A New GALvANC' BATTERY
Fiehol, says Les Hondes, has recently
constructed a new battery, nsing q
Spanish mineral which is probably
hnd of pyrites. Within a glass jar is
placed zinc cup, inches long, 3
inches deep, and 2 inches broad, into
which the mineral is packed. Above is
piece of copper, and the interstices are
filed with pulverized coke, mixed with
ten per cent OF chloride of sodium
common -salD and .moistened with
water. Four elements, united with
isolated copper wires, copper to copper
and zinc to zinc, It IS stated, gave a
current of surprising energy, fully equal
to that of five Bunsen couples. The
battery is constant, and it has been
found that, after eighteen months con-
tinuous use, it operates as well as when
first employed. The only condition
seems to be that it should be kept tho
roughly moistered.

SoLIp1FIcATIoN OF NITROUS OXIDE
According to Wills, nitrous oxide may
be easily solidifed by causing q rapid
current of air to pass through The liqui-
fed gas. Differing in this respect from
carbonic acid, nitrous oxide may be
kept liquid for some time in open ves-
sels. Carbonic acid solidifes, as soon
as it escapes from its containing reser-
voir, because the tension of the vapor
of the soliditied acid, even at the mo-
ment of its formation, is considerably
superior to atmospheric pressure while
liquid nitrous oxide attains-1330 Fab.
and solidifies at-l460, SO that the ten
sion of its vapors is weaker than one
atmosphere. The density Of the liquid
protoxide at 32' Fab. is equal to 1904 !;
its coeffcient of dilation is very con-
siderable 1t is insoluble in water.
