ABSORPTION OF ToBAcco.-An artical
on the effects of tobacco, published in
the February Herald of Health, says
''That tobacco does lodge in the It's
sues is evident from the following fact.
The hydropathists have among their
processes one which they call the wet
sheet pack. The patient is enveloped
first in wet sheet and then-over this
in blankets. By this process they claim
that through the operation of the princi-
pies of endosmose and erosnaose, the
water of the sheet is made to enter the
body, while at the same time impurities
are Withdrawn therefrom. Now let the
habitual user of tobacco be subjected for
an hour to this process. When, at the
expiration of that time, his developments
are taken off, the ordor of tobacco coming
from his body, and from the sheet in
which he has lain, viii be perceptible to
every one present as though cigar had
just been smoked IN the room"

A Religion for Babes.


1t is little use to preach to children
SORROW for sin. Ii they cain be made to
feel sorrow for their sins it is all that we
can expect If we believe that God is
their Father, why not believe that he
acts on fatherly principles We know
very little about the future but we
know of a surety that honor and truth
and love are the best possessions in this
world, and they cannot harm us in the
next. Why should not a child be taught
that his Father in Heaven wants of him
just what his father wants-that he
should learn his lessons, and be polite to
his teachers, and fair in his games, and
dutiful to his parents, and friendly to
all that repentance means only that he
should not exult in wrong doing, but re-
greet it and try to do so no more. and
make it the rule and study of his life to
do the upright, tn just, the high mind
ed thing, instead of the doubtful and
desplicable one! How can he lowe God,
whom he hath not seen except through
the friends whom he hath seen? Why
did God devise this most intrinsic and
elaborate scheme of the human family,
but for the express purpose of leading
the rude, ignorant soul with sweet, slow
steps through all the gradatians of ami
NAL instincts and human loves up to His
own infinite love? Fathers and mothers,
81.
teachers and preachers, can clear the way
for his inexperienced feet by simply Civ
ing him true ideas of his position, of the
relation in which he stands to his Crea-
tor, of the entire, the rational friendli-
ness and sympathy with which his Maker
regards him. Or they can confuse and
confound him with their distractions and
inconsequences. 1t is difficult to be
angry, for the sword pierces through
their own souls also. It is difficult not
to be angry, for the unspeakable woe is
caused by the perversion of truth in
those whose duty it is to present truth.

should not be done without first consult

TO KEEP MILK SWEET.

In very warm weather, when it is difs-
ficult to preserve milk from becoming
sour and spelling the cream, it may be
kept perfectly sweet by scalding the new
milk very gently without boiling, and
putting it away in the earthen pan or
dish in which it has been sealded. This
method is adopted in all the large dair-
les in England, and particularly in Dew
onshire. Cream already skinned may
be kept quite sweet for twenty-four hours
if scalded, but if as much powdered
sugar be added as will sweeten it, and
then scalded, it will keep in cool place
for two DAVIS. r--. ..ts -al.

escape from death:
Mr.. Ed. Cole of this place came re,y near
losing his life, on Wednesday last. The
day was extremely cold, and he was en-
gagged in preparing car to be loaded
with stock. While behind the car, for
some purpose. a rustling noise was heard.
In the twinkling of an eye he sprang
from his hiding place. At the same in
slant freight car came with great force,
colliding with the one named From the
fact that no cars we're expected on that
switch, and the fact also. that the gentle
mans ears were tied up, he did not nee
essarily have any cause for alarm. The
na,rovness of the escape may be imagin-
ed when it is known that his overcoat,
and some other garments were stripped
from his person by coming in contact
with the bumpers.
