Power of the Imagination.

Not only an8sthesis may be produced,
but the secretion may bevery powerfully
affected by the influence of the mind
over the body. Here we find the facts of
great Importance indeed. There are
many facts which show that the secre-
tions of milk may become poisonous for
child from O mere emotion in the
mother, and especially from anger. And
if it were not the duty of every one to
avoid anger, it would certainly be the
duty of a young mother who has to
nurse child. There are cases, although
they are not common, in which death has
resulted; and alterations of health in
children from this cause are very fire.
quent. A great many men who have
reached an adult age owe their i'll health
to such an influence in childhood.
Every one knows, also, that the secre-
ton of bile, the secretion of tears, and
the secretion of saliva are very much
under the influence of the nervous sys-
tenn. The purging of the bowels, which
depends on secretion there, or a secre-
ton in the liver, is also much dependent
on the influence of the Imagination. The
Emperor Nicholas tried to see what power
there is in the Imagination in that re-
spect. Bread crumb pills were given to
a great many patients, and, as result,
student, not of medicine but of the
ology, having the idea that the word pill
meant purgative, looked for pill in
the dictionary, and the first kind of pills
that he found there was one composed
mainly of opium and henbane, both
astringents, and capable of producing
great constipation. He wanted to be
purged, and took a certain number of
these pills, and instead of becoming con-
stipated he was purged just as he wished
to be. Laughter.
Vomiting may be produced in the
same way. DuCros, French physiolo-
gist, tells of trial made in hospital by
a nurse who went around and gave to all
the patients very harmless kind OF
medicine, and then told them she was
sorry that she had by mistake give them
all very powerful emetics. Out of 100
patients, so were affected as if they had
taken the most violent emetic, and vom-
tied for long time.

seaboard every summer. | have no doubt

measure due to that, and if you could 60

Blue Sky and White Clouds.

The ethereal blue color of the sky is
due to the minute particles of matter
which float in the air. Were these parti-
cles removed, the appearance of the sky
would be dead black. 1t is a fact in
optics that exceedingly fine portions of
matter disperse or scatter the blue rays
OF light, coarser portions scatter red rays,
still coarser portions scatter all the rays,
making white light. An atmosphere is
full of aqueous vapor, the particles of
which difuse white light in all direc-
tions. When these particles are enlarged,
they become visible in the form of clouds.
The vapor particles of the white clouds
are supposed to be finer and lighter than
those of the dark clouds
That the diffusion of light in our at
mosphere, the blue coloring of the sky
and the colors of the clouds, are due to
the presence of matter floating in the
air, has been conclusively proven by
Iyndal. On passing a beam of sunlight
through glass tube, the beam is render
ed brilliantly visible by the reflection of
light from the dust particles floating in
the air contained in the tube. But on
removing the dust particles, which is
done by fltering the air by cotton wool,
or causing the air to pass over flame,
the beam of light is no longer visible in
the tube.-iScientifc american.

sler gives it as his opinion that his Gre

we are glad it was nothing more, be-
cause that would raise 4 question

hate to follow up. Rev. w. V. Tudor,

would have been less scandal" and
saws. 'truc christian clarity never

charity where no true repentance took
place.
We wish to be particularly under
