How few people are found without some indi-
cations OF nervous. disease. This truth has
sound mind In sound body was held as the
perfection OF human existence. Some from
congenfal disease, others from youthful tndis-

free use or tobacco, suffer from tremor, palpi-
tation or nervous excitement-all of which can
be removed or permanently cured by the Eng

DisagreeabIe Habits.

NEARLY all the disagreeable habits
which people take up come at first from
mere accident or want Of thought. They
might be easily dropped, but they are
persisted in until they become seconc
nature. Stop and think before you allow
yourself to form them. There are disa-
greeable habits of body, like scowling,
winking, twisting the mouth, biting the
nails, continually picking at something,
twirling key Or fumbling at chain,
drumming with the fingers, screwing and
twisting chair or whatever you can lay
your hand ON. Don't do any of these
things. Learn to sit quietly like a-ge71-
tZenaan, I was going to say, but L am
afraid even girls fall into such tricks
sometimes There are much worse hab-
it's than these, to be sure, but we are only
speaking of very little things that are
only annoying when they are persisted
in. There are bad habits of speech, also,
such as beginning every sentence with,

Some Simple Experiments.

1. PLACE tobacco-pipe in such a po-
sition, on the edge of the table, that if it
were left unsupported it would fall to
the ground. "A poker may now be sus-
pended from the pipe, in such manner
that the weight of the poker will be sus-
tanned by the pipe The looped string
on which the poker hangs should be as
close as possible to the bowl of the pipe,
and the end of the poker must fall under
the edge of the table The center of
gravity, in this case, is below the center
of suspension, and the pipe consequent
ly supports the poker.
2. If little thread be we'll soaked in a
strong solution Of salt and water, and
then dried and tied to a ring not much
larger than wedding ring, you may ap-
ply the flame of candle to the thread,
which will burn it to ashes and yet it
will sustain the ring. The cohesion of
the fibrous particles of thread having
been destroyed by the action OF the
flame, the ring is now suspended by the
cohesion of the particles of salt.
8 Wrap piece of clean writing paper
tightly about the cylindrical handle of
the poker, and the paper may be held
over the flame of lamp or candle for
some time without being in the slightest
degree injured or burnt; now wrap a
similar piece of paper around a cylinder
of wood and hold it over the flame,
which will burn it almost Immediately.
This experiment shows the difference be
tween the conducting powers of metal
and wood, the heat being conducted away
from the paper by the iron almost as
rapidly as communicated, whilst wood,
being bad conductor of heat, takes fire
almost Immediately.
4. Suspend poker by two strings and
insert the extremities of them into the
ears. A blow given to the poker will
now produce, through the medium of the
strings, a sound equal to that of great
bell. This shows that the vibrations
given to the metallic mass of the poker
by the blow are much more readily COM
municated to the ear by the strings than
through the air. Thus, on the same
principle, the boiling of a kettle, inaudi-
bic in the air, may be distinctly heard,
even from the beginning, by resting one
end of the poker on the vessel and ap-
plying the other to the ear. So also the
beating of a watch placed at one extrem-
ity of long beam of timber may be
heard through the timber at the other
end of the beam by person who holds
his ear to the wood, although it is totally
inaudible in the air.
5. Place in small glass bottle hot
water near the boiling point, colored
deep carmine with cochineal; place the
same at the bottom of glass jar of cold
water. Immediately the light hot-col-
ored water in the phial will be displaced
by the heavier cold water in the jar, and
will ascend in beautiful crimson clouds
to the top of the jar.-EGc1ba'age.

And now [ am going to tell you what
Matty has lately done. She has saved
the lives OF six people. She is no longer
child, but she is not yet too old to be
called a girl, and / am not sure but that
even now she speaks of herself as 4" only
a girl. And yet the doctor says she has
saved six lives, and comforted many
hearts beside.
There was house to which sickness
came. In that house was woman who
is called clever, but she did not know
how to nurse the sick. In the house,
too, there are four men and boys, but
they were so frightened that they were
not OF much use, although they certainly
did all that they could, such as going on
errands and carrying things up and down
stairs.
The doctor looked at all the people
who were well, one after the other, and
he did not seem quite satisfied
" 1t all depends upon the nursing" he
said. eff they have really good nurs-
ing they may recover; but unless they
have it l cannot answer for the conse-
quences."
;, What shall we do? I am not good
nurse" said one.
"Nor l." said another.
Try me-" said Matty.
"You! why you are only girl"
81 cannot help that. But think can
be nurse all the same"
Yes, let Matty nurse Us" said one
of the invalids, and that settled the
matter Very soon there was change
for the better, and presently all were
well.
Matty is worth her weight in gold"
q would rather have patient, pains
taking Matty for sister than anyone l
know"
"Matty is good and loves God, and He
makes her wise"
g Matty is better than two of some of
| the women one Sees"
These are few of the things that are
said about Matty, although she is only
a girl "-L071dOn1 Christian World.

There is in every household a great
quantity of worsted and flannel pieces
that are of small account, and can be of
no service for garments, but if saved it
can be rendered useful and beautiful in
the manufacture of hearth-rugs or mats
to lay before bureaus, sofas or organs.
Take piece of hemp sacking, and draw
some pretty design in the center-a
bouquet of flowers, a wreath Or some an
imal, mark border with a chain or her
aldry pattern; sew the canvas into a
frame like quilting frames, only smaller,
so as not to occupy too much room have
a hook made like a crochet-hook or
needle; one can be manufactured easily
by taking a parasOl-brace and filing the
end into proper form; cut the strips of
cloth into strips of half an inch in width
if thin fabric make it wider Pass the
hook through the canvas with the right
hand, have the cloth underneath the
the hook, and draw it to the upper side
about three-fCurths Of an inch; leave
about two threads space and close IN an
other loop. Regard the selection of col
ors so as to'shade them nicely and keep
the form of your pattern. 1t is very
quiet, easy and fascinating work; work
the figure first, and then draw In the fill
ing-up or groundwork of some dark col
or-black, brown or drab. After 1t is
completed, shear the whole surface even
ly, but not too close, and you have fine,
substantial, durable rug, that will last
lifetime, and do more service and be
prettier than an imported article that
would cost anywhere from ten to thirty
dollars; and, best ofall, il is homemade

WHAT WOULD YOU THINK?

WHEN walking out some summers day,
What if a little bird should call,
And on your shoulder perch and say,
"Speak well of all, or not at all!''
What would you think?
What if you chased and caught for fun
An airy, gaudy butterfly;
And on its wings there in the sun
You plainly saw the words, Don't lie"
What would you think?
what if you watched an opening rose
Spread all its petals to the air,
And to your wondering gaze disclose
Two little warning words, Don't swear"
What would you think?
What if you sought to rob the BIRDS,
And hunted for their nest with zeal,
But found each egg traced DER with words
As plain as print, "Dear boy, don't steal!"
What would you think?

OBsTRUcTNo THE PARK DEPARTzTST.-
Comptroller Green and his allies are opening
their batteries against Park Commissioners
Martin, whom they chorge with obstructive
and disorganizing efforts" to interfere with
the management Of the department, out Of
'unreasoning hatred" for Mr.. Green. But
what right has the Comptroller to meddlc
with the Park Department and its manage
ment? If he attended to his own business
and kept his fingers out Of department with
which he has nothing to do Mr.. Martins
course as Commissioner could have no effect
upon him and would bear no relation to him.
The attack upon Commissioner Martin Is
proof thai Comptroller Green does unduly
and improperly intermeddle with the Central
Park management-an interference which tho
present President Of the department has on
occasions denoun ced as "a system of interior
ence and espionage inconsistent with the
interests of the city and injurious to the de-
partment."

/
that our Catholic fellow citizens have
diminished reasons for looking abroad for
spiritual guidance and objects of ecclesiastical
reverence. II the Pope himself should even
come to reside among us no. intelligent Prot
estant would grieve, and our whole Catholic
population would find new motive for low
ing their country. Nothing would do 50
much TO spread the great American principle
Of complete separation Of Church and State
throughout the world as for this country TO
become the local seat Of the Papal authority.
The Pope would enjoy here the most perfect
freedom IN the discharge of his ecclesiastical
functions, and the genius Of our government
IS SO totally repugnant to any blending of
ecclesiastical and civil authority that nothing
would tend SO powerfully to final dissolu-
ton of every Church in Christendom from
ties to supporting State
There is no sound reason why any citizen
should object even to a Pope, much less to
Cardinal, on American soil. Our people have
become too enlightened to think liberty is en-
dangered by the Catholic faith. That
great keystone in the arch Of freedom"
Magma Charta, was extorted by Catholic SUBJ
jects from q Catholic king. All the great
safeguards of liberty which we have inherited
from the mother country date their origin
from the time when England was Catholic
Catholic France assisted us to achieve our in
dependence, and then overthrow monarchy
and aristocracy at home. Even the Catholics
OF Spain revolted against Charles ". in the
name OF popular liberty. The Italian repub-
lies of the Middle Ages were established by
Catholics. The Catholic colonies of South
America set up republican governments when
they threw off their allegiance to Spain. The
Catholic immigrants to this country from Ire
land detest monarchy with as hearty sin
cerity as any class of American citizens. The
Catholic population of Louisiana oppose
Casarism with intenser hatred than the people
of any other American State.
The wonderful growth ofCatholicism in the
United States should convince every Catholic
that nothing is so favorable to the propaga-
tion of religion as national institu-
tons which forbid favor or hostility to any
sect There is no country in the world where
las uufduCcu Win ouCn
strides as it has in the United States since the
full establishment of our great principle of per-
feet religious equality. One hundred years ago
the Catholics formed but one-eighth even of
the population Of Maryland, and were mere
handful in the other States. Now they rank
as the third, or, at least, the fourth, of our
Christian denominations in point of numbers,
and next TO the first in the value of their
Church property But all our Protestant sects
together SO greatly outnumber the Catholics
that the latter are in minority of seven or
eight to one, and nothing could be more
chimerical than fears that they will ever con-
troll the government No such fear is enter
tanned by the great body Of our intelligent
Protestants, who regard the proceedings at
the Cathedral to-day as pleasing addition to
the variety of American life.
