Chinese Arms.

The adoption of European engines of
destruction by the Chinese, to any ap-
preciable extent, is of very recent date.
It has lately been shown that gunpow-
der is not, as is commonly asserted, a
Chinese invention, and that the use of
explosive compounds was introduced
into China at a comparatively late
period. Artillery was first constructed
on models derived during the first quar-
ter of the sixteenth century from the
Portuguese navigators who visited Can
ton, and hand-guns were unknown for
some time subsequently,, until manu-
featured in imitation of those already
in use among the japanese Nearly a
hundred years after the first rude no.
tions of artillery began to prevail, the
French and italian missionaries ingra-
tiated themselves with the ruling powers
in China by casting cannon of improved
form and transcribing European works
on fertilization and gunnery; and, with
the knowledge and appliances current
IN Europe during the seventeenth cen-
fury, China remained content until the
first war with Great Britain in 1840-'42
exposed the inefficacy of her defences
and the irresistible power of her antag-
onist. A hurried and futile endeavor
was made at this time to repair the con-
sequences of past neglect by casting
monster cannon and by devising tor
pedoes, for which latter engines the
hint was given by an American naval
officer, whose ingenuity, however, fell
short of his good intentions but it is
not necessary to dwell upon the fate
which befell all attempts of this kind

sc4yTER SEEDS on KTYDNEss.

Let us gather up the suLbeams
Lying all around our path
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting the thOrns and chat;
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day,
With patient hand removing
ALI the briers from the way.
Then scatter seeds of kindness
For our reaping by-and-by.
Strange we never prize the music,
Til the sweet voiced bird has flown
Strange that we should slight the violets
Til the lovely flowers are gone!
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one half so fair
AS when winters snowy pinions
Shake the white down in the air 4!
Then scatter seeds of kindness
For our reaping by-and-by.
If we knew the baby fingers.
Pressed against the window pane,
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow
Never trouble us again
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow?
Would the print of rosy fingers
Vex us then as they do now?
Then scatter seeds of kindness
For our reaping by-and-by.
All those little ice-cold finge
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strewn along our backward track?
How those little hands remind us,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Nor scatter thorns but roses,
For our reaping by-and-by!
Then scatter seeds of kindness
For our reaping by-and-by.

Coffee,

The plant or tree is Indigenous to
Southern Abyssinia; but it derives its
name from Kaffa, in Eastern Africa,
where it grows wild. 1t has grown
wild in ETHIOPIA from time immemorial,
whence it gradually found its way over
the Eastern lands. 1t was used as a
medicine in Persia, and was carried
thence (about the fifteenth century of
our era) by Dervishes to Mecca, where
it was used as beverage, and soon be-
came so popular that it became the fav-
orite drink of the followers of Mahom-
ct, and appears to have been used by
them as substitute for wine. Its cul-
tivation is widely diffused over the
tropics. 1t is grown in the West India
Islands, in the provinces of Central
America, Cayenne, Peru, Bolivia and
all. 1t is likewise spread over Arabia,
the Western coast of Africa, Ceylon,
Sumatra, Bourbon, Mauritus, Java, and
some of the Pacific islands. The coffee
plant bears the extremes of climate
well. 1t grows on the level of the sea.
It is now an ascertained fact that much
of the far-famed Mocha coffee is pro-
duced in the East Indies and shipped
to Mocha, and no inconsiderable por-
ton also comes from the low-land of
Kaffa and Enarea, in Africa. The excel
lence of Mocha coffee appears to consist
more in the name and method of curing
than any other cause. A coffee field in
full bloom is said to be the most beau
tiful sight in the world, and travellers
say it is worth voyage to Java or Cey-
lon to inhale the delicious fragrance of
the air in the coffee seasons. Coffee
was first introduced in England about
the middle of the seventeenth century.
About hundred years ago New York
coffee houses were the places of princi-
pal resort for merchants, and the scenes
of many heavy mercantile transactions
and auction sales. They held their own
until they were practically merged in
the more pretentious hotels. The
American people are its greatest con-
sumers; and after them the French and
English.

Self-Culture.

We men are not fragments-we are
whole we are not types of single quail
ities-we are realities of mixed, various,
coutless combinations.
Therefore I say to every man As
far as you can-part for excellence in
your special mental calling, principal
ly for completion of your end in exist
ence-strive while improving your one
talent to enrich your whole capital as a
man. It is in this way that you escape
from that wretched narrow-m indedness
which is the characteristic of every oS@
who cultivates his speciality alone.
1t is a great preservative to high
standard in taste and achievement to
take every year some great book as an
especial study, not only to be read but
to be conned, studied, brooded over !;
to go in the country with it, travel with
it, be devoted faithfully to it, be with
out any other book for the time; COM
pei yourself to read again and again.
Who can be dull enough to pass long
days in the intimate, close, familiar in
tercourse with some transcendent mind,
and not feel the benefit of it when he
returns to the common world ?
But whatever standard of mental ex-
cellence you thus form in your study of
the excellent, never, if you wish, let
your standard make you intolerant to
any other defects but your own. The
surest sign of wisdom is charity, and
the best charity is that which never os-
tentatiously parades itself as charity.
For your idea of man as he ought to be,
always look upward but to judge man
as he is, never affect to stoop. Look
your fellow-men straight in the face.
Learn all you possibly can and when
you have learned that all, repeat it
you will never converse with any man
who does not know something worth
knowing better than yourself.-Butacer.

Value of Sheep.

The high price of wool this year, and
the great demand for sheep or lambs
for meat, has made many a farmer wish
he had flock of sheep. The price of
wool for few years back has been so
low and fuctuating that it has led the
farmers to kill off their sheep, and just
the same results follow that have in
years before they find, when wool ad-
vances, they have no sheep on hand.
We have advocated high prices for wool,
advising the farmer if he had any and
could afford to hold it, not to sell. Al
though there has been a little depres-
sion in the market, we still adhere to
the view that the wooden mills during
the coming season will be large buyers
of domestic woods ; and we notice the
reports from foreign markets show great
firmness abroad, arising from the same
causes that prevail in this country
shortness of supply. Nor do we think,
with the growth of business in our
country, Will the supply, for several
years to come, exceed the demand for a
medium grade of woods, which are the
staples grown here.
The question of raising sheep for
meat is not an unimportant one; with
GuC SIONtll VI bLc
ton of eatables increases and the favor
tie meat now, and that which brings the
highest price, is lamb, and with an in
creasing interest in it, as the most
wholesome and palatable of all meats,
it is already getting so scarce and high
that it has to be purchased only as a
luxury by those who can afford it. We
have spoken thus far of the demand of
wool and mutton at a price that will
pay largely for sheep-raising. Their
value to the farm is not, perhaps, fully
understood. It is an old proverb,
whenever the foot of the sheep
touches the land it is turned into gold. "
Sheep will enrich land faster than any
other animal On the mountain pas
lures they are valuable in clearing up
the land, freeing it from weeds, shrubs
and briars, and bringing it to clover and
nutritious grasses They are easily
raised and cared for both in summer
and winter The risk of loss by death
is small, and if well managed, sheep
will not die in debt to the owner. If it
dies at birth it has cost nothing. If it
dies the first year, the wool and pelt is
worth all it has cost up to that time.
Sheep husbandry has value to make
the land more profitable, more produc-
tive, at a less expenditure, than any
other animal kept on the farm.

Pere Hyacinthe on Christian Unity.

On January 5, for the first time since
the great change came over him,
Pere Hyacinthe spoke in public in
Paris at a meeting called by the French
Evangelical Protestant Communion, to
decide upon holding a week of prayer
for the restoration of Christian unity.
The meeting was large, and Pere- Hya-
einthe's address was chiefly of general
character upon the object of the meet
ing. He was careful to make it quite
clear that, although most anxious to pro-
mote the movement in favor of Christian
unity, and willing to attend and speak
in Protestant place of worship in or
der to do so, he came there as a Catho-
lie and faithful member, so far as per-
mitted to him, of his own Church. He
then proceeded to make his hearers
aware that any attempt to reconcile or
promote union between extreme opin-
ions on either side must necessarily
prove a mere hallucination. Between
those who stood out for the principle of
absolute authority, like the Ultramon-
tame party, and for that of unlimited
freedom of individual opinion, like the
a-Protestants, there never could, he
said, be any common ground of agree
ment or reconciliation. Union could
be affected only by mutual notifications
of these extreme opinions on either side.
Both are equally wrong and dangerous,
in the Pere Hyacithe's opinion; for, as
he happily expressed it, clerical radi-
calism was just as dangerous to the
Church as political radicalism was TO
the State. Large, rather than broad,
Catholic views were the only real basis
upon which the reunion of Christendum
could be hoped for-the ''reunion Of
Catholics and Professionals Or, as he
repeated it, putting the two antaSenis-
tic principles in the absolute form OF
opposition in which they always stand
toward, and are spoken of, as regards
each other in this Countrywide ''re-
union of Catholicism and Protestant
ISM" These views seemed to be accept
ed with entire approval.
