And if it were not the duty OF every

quent. A great many men who have
reached an adult age owe their ill-health
To such an influence in childhood
Every one knows, also, Il It the secre-
ton Of bile. the secretion OF ears, and the
secretion Of saliva are very much under
the influence of the nervous system. The
purging of the bowels, which depends on
i secretion there. or a secretion in the liv-
er, is also much dependent on the infu-
ence OF the imagination. The Emperor
William Nicholas tried TO see what pow
er there is III the Imagination IN that re-
sPccJ Bread-crumb pills were given to
a great many patients, and, as result,
most al them were purged.
In one case a student, not of medicine,
bat OF theology, having the idea that the
word pill meant a purgative, looked for
pill" Ia the dictionary; and the first kind
Of pills that he found there was one COM
posed 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-
shPated, he was purged just as he wished
to be. Laughter
Vomiting nay be produced in the same
way. Du eros, French Psychologist,
tells Of trial made in a hospital by a
nurse who went around and gave to all
the patients a very harmless kind of med
lciHe, and then told them that she was
sorry that she had, by mistake, given
them al very powerful emetics. Out of
100 patients 80 we're affected as if they
had taken the most violent emetic, and
vomited for long time.
This we see on very large scale on
sea-board every summer. L have no
loubt whatever that sea-sickness Is in
great measure due to that, and if you
could get on board of steamer with the
idea that you would not vomit, | am well
satisfied, from experiments | have made,
that you would escape great deal Of sea-
sickness, If you did not escape it alto
gether One fact | recall is very inter
esting. A person had crossed, on one
occasion, a small bay when it was very
rough. There was a man playing the vio
lin on the boat. The person | refer to
was terribly sea-sick and vomited a great
deal. He had not, of course, made up
Ills mind that he could not be sick
However, the point is that after that he
could not hear a violin without vomiting.

From the Boston Globe.
The real field for temperance effort is
in the homes and the schools. Not much
can be done, perhaps, with those who
have reached maturity and become the
bond slaves Of appetite aud passion IA
rely have they been emancipated from
thatawfdl thraldom till death has brought
their release, but the rising generations
can be saved The precious growth OF
character should be watched and guarded
in the family, the church, the school, and
wherever moral effort can be brought to
bear. Let one generation be brought up
wisely and virtuousiy, and the millen-
MUM will draw amazingly near. We do
not look with confidence Tor It's speedy
advent, nor expect to do much in one
short Lifetime TO bring it about. Va
merely endeavor to indicate the direction
which our efforts for reform can take
with far better results than they are nov
obtaining.

that '.if a man beat an outlaw, traitor

punishable, because by the Law Common
these persons can have no action" And

better the law Of France, set forth in a
sentence in French, but which we trans

when she will not obey his commands, or
