The SANITARY USE OF LIGHT
Care should be taken both in health
and disease to insure a sufficient
amount of light to the inmates of
houses, and that it is impossible to
rear well-formed, strong and robust
children unless attention is paid TO
this requirement. Sun baths, or apart
ments In which the solar rays can fall
upon the naked body, are doubtless
highly advantageous to health and
rooms for this purpose could probably
easily be constructed, in or on most of
our city houses. At present the chief
object Of city families seems to be to
devise means for keeping the sunlight
out of their houses. That that is con-
trary to nature needs no argument.
The world is said to be under-fed it
is certainly under-lit, as we manage IL.
-Dr. w Il. Hammond

Great crimes work great wrongs

from its larger passion; but woful and
most melancholy are the uncatalogued
tragedies that issue from gossip and
detraction; most mournful the ship.

lovely lives by the bitter winds and
dead salt water of SANDER. So easy
to say, yetso hard to disprove-throw-

them as guilty, if unable to pluck out
the stings they never see and to 81

Gossip and SANDER are the deadliest
and cruelest weapons man has for his
brothers heart.

How TO MAKE A MUSTARD PLAs-
TER.-How many people arethere who
really know how to make a mustard
plaster? Not one in a hundred, at the
most, perhaps, and yet mustard plas-
tiers are used in every family, and ply
sicians prescribe their application, nev
er telling anybody how to make tn EN-
for the simple reason that the doctors
themselves do not know, as a rule.
The ordinary way is to mix the mus
tard with water, tempering it with a
little flour, but such plaster as that
makes is simply abominable. Before
1t has half done its work it begins to
blister the patient, and leaves him final
ly with painful, hayed spot, after
having produced far less effect in
beneficial way than was intended.
NOW mustard plaster should never
blister at all. If a blister is wanted,
there are other plasters far better than
mustard for the purpose. When you
make mustard plaster, then, use no
water whatever, but mix the mustard
with the white of an egg, and the re-
suit will be a plaster which will 'draw"
perfectly, but will not produce Bills
ter even upon the skin of an infant,
no matter how long it is allowed to re-
main upon the part. For this we have
the word of an old and eminent phy-
stefan, as well as our own experience.

HEALTH OF FARMERS. griculture
should be the most enobling of all vo-
cations. 1t would be if farmers cult
waited the earth as teachers develop the
head, and preachers educate the heart
Teachers and preachers aim to train
the thoughts and feelings to truth and
love, utility and happiness. Farmers
should train the earth to produce such
crops and fruits, and such only, as are
conducive to the best health and high
est welfare Of human beings. Then
would their calling be transformed from
one of degrading drudgery and inter
minable toll to one of refinement and
luxury. The terminating seeds the
waving grains, the luscious fruits, so
suggestive of the source of all life and
all blessing, and the season so typical
Of resurrection and Immortality,
ought to make the life of an agricultu-
rist a continual pastime. And this
would be the farmers life, if farming
was managed as it should be. Farm
ers have unequalled natural advanta-
ges for health, strength and longevity.
The statistics OF disease and the tables
OF mortality, however, are againts
them. This is not due to their yoca-
ton, but to their misl1ses of it. No
class, as a whole, is probably so utter
ly reckless Of health conditions. So
Tar as our acquaintance with the hab-
its of farmers is concerned-and it has
been extensive-it compels the conclu-
sion that, as a rule, the dietetic habits
of farmers are worse than those of any
other class who have the means of
choosing for themselves.-Erom Sci

"NEARER, MY COP, TO Thee" -
Sarah Flowers, the writer of this
touching hymn, was worthy of the
name; for Sarah signifies a princess,
and sweeter fragrance has rarely exu-
ded from any flower in the garden.
This gifted girl married Mr.. William
B. Adams, an English civil engineer
of superior abilities. She was of frail
constitution, and amid many bodily
suferings she kept her pen at work
upon various poetical productions. At
what time she caught the inspiration
to compose that one immortal hymn,
which is now sung around the globe,
we have never learned. Probably it
was some season of peculiar trial when
the bruised spirit emitted the odor of
a child-like submission to Christening
father. 1t must have oozed from a
bleeding heart. Her hymn first ap
peared in volume of sacred lyrics,
by Mr.. Fox, in England, about the
year 1S41. The authoress did not
live to catch the fame it was to bring,
for she died in 1S49, aged forty-four.
She was buried near NARROW, in Essex.
Presently the hymn began to work it's
way into various collections of songs
of worship. 1t was married to the
tune of Bethany" and everybody
caught the strain. In MONDAY gath
erings for prayer it soon became so ia
miliar that if anybody "struck up" the
hymn the whole audience joined in
Petersburg Commercial.

The Three Bells.

Beneath the low-hung night cloud
That raked her splintering mast
The good ship settled slowly,
The cruel leak gained fast.
Over the awful ocean
Her signal guns pealed out.
Dear God was that thy answer
From the horror round about?
A voice came down the wild wind,
"Ho! ship ahoy!' its cry:
"Our stout Three Bells of Glasgow
Shall stand till daylight by !"
Hour after hour crept slowly,
Yet on the heaving swells
Tossed up and down the ship-lights,
The lights of the Three Bells
And ship to ship made signals,
Man answered back to man,
While oft, to cheer and hcarten.
The Three Bells nerer ran;
And the captain from her taffrail
Sent down the hopeful cry.
Take heart! Hold on !" he shouted,
1.-THE Three Bells shall stand BY"
All night across the waters
The tossing lights shone clear:
All night from reeling taffrail
The Three Bells sent her cheer.
And when tho dreary watches
OF storm and darkness passed.
Just as the wreck lurched under,
All souls were saved at last.
Sail, on, Three Bells, forever,
In grateful memory sail
Ring on, Three Bells of rescue,
Above the wave and gale!
As thine, in night and tempest,
l hear the Masters cry,
And, tossing through the darkness,
The lights, of God draw nigh!

and who led some to suppose that he would

and scarcely ever goes back or e Saint Patrick S

ing he voted to pay a policeman 80 for half a

which was ordered by Council. Mr.. Burnett
would think it unjust if any one, in view of
the above facts, should call his act hypocriti-
