AN OLD Way TO RAISE BLIsrERs.

l remember, says a correspondent Of the
Medical and Surgical Journal, that when
! was very young, they usedto raise blisters
with boiled hammers. Old DIR. TWitchell,
Of Keene peace 10 his ashes-once want
ed to blister some n in a farm house, far
from home. He had nothing with him to
do it with. He asked his wife to find him
a hammer. The article was brought out,
put in a teakeule over the fire, and, after
the water steamed and dubbed well, he
lifted it out and gently touched it to his
patient in a half dozen spots, over the seat
Of pain, with = positive effect. Boiled
hammers were, for many years, used in
that neighborhOOd for pleurisy: and every
old lady knew nothing was equal to a ham
mer; and there was a long DISPUTE whether
it should be a claw hammer or not. l think
the yeas finally conquered.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beeeher makes
this sensible reply in Tie Christian Union
TO a query as to whether il is wicked to
dance. 1T is wicked when it is wicked,
and not wicked when it is not wicked. In
itself it has no more moral character than
walking, wrestling, or rowing. Bad COM
pany, untimely hours, evil dances, may
make the exercise evil; good company,
wholesome hours, and home influences,
may make it a very great benefit"

THE mail advices from Havana report
that the advance of gold to $50 is disor-
gaDizing every branch Of trade, and that the
retail dealers and importers cannot hold
out much longer. The credit of Cuban
merchants abroad, it isnot surprising under
these circumstances, is seriously impaired.
Even the most respectable houses complain
that their correspondents refuse to furnish
them with co~usignments, and viii only sell
them small invoices at short dates. The
suffering among the poor, too, is increasing
to an alarming extent, and, as during our
own memorable panic of last year, every
body is r%etrenching and reducing the num-
Der Of his employees.

THE word lady is compounded of two
Saxon words, Leaf or lar, signifying a loaf
of bread, and dian, to give, or serve. In
olden times it was customary for those
families whom God had blessed with aflu-
ence to give away regularly a portion Of
bread or other food to poor families in their
respective parishes and neighbOrhOodS, and
ON such occasions the 'lady" or mistress OF
the household distributed the daily or
weekly dole. Hence she was called the
'laf-dy" or the "bread giver," and it is
probably from this hOspitable custom that
to this day English ladies carve and serve
the meat at their own tables,

THE installation Of Prof. Huxley, the
author Of the p~rotOplastic theory, as Lord
Rector of Aberdeen University, must have
greatly s~candalized the orthodox portion of
John Knox's descendants. 1t would have
been difficult to select among the scientists
Of the day one Darwin, perhaps, e%xcepted)
who has contributed more efIectually to
shake the belief in Calvinistic theology
than Huxley. But the world is fast be-
coming more tolerant. EEven ten years ago
il would have been thought impossible that
this daring skeptic should be invited to
preside over not only a Scotch, but a
thoroughly Calvinistic seat Of learning.

From Alta Californian.
DR.. Randolph combines the exceIlences
of Cough and Harry Vincent, but is a far

IL the equal, if not the superior, of his rela-
