A great deal has been said about the
extravaganza of women Of the pres

stand aghast should she be asked
to pay 5000. for bonnet, and it is

How to Help tho Poor.

There are scores Of good people out of
employment and in want in our CITY at
present. How to help to modify the evil
should be the inquiry of all and each.
There is only one method by which the
distress about to come can be abated,
and that method is summed up in the
word benevolencs." Prayer to heaven
will not feed aud clothe and WIN the
poor, but %benevolence, the love Of man,
will meet these coming dark days and
extract from them bali their sorrow. A
rash giving away Of money or goods may
work an injury. 1t may feed the idle or
make idlers out Of persons who once
toiled hard fer a support. Hence any
one expecting to help any of his fellows
to weather the storm for the present
should seek to become personally &C.
qualntsd with the person or family he is
to aid. Money and food given at the
door to beggars 10 kindness most rsck.
lessly bestowed. The only safe way is
to find the family that needs this food or
the clothes, or the ten cents, ard then
the cold v%ictuals will 20 forth each day
as a blessing.

TO hold a musical service once a week

sermon, and there were to be five or six
hymns or psalms, sung to good old tunes,
With an accompaniment of trumpets,
trombones and kettledrhms. The vicar
gave his assent, and the service vas
held, an immense congregation Aocking
in and joining with one consent in the
hymns, the effect Of which was rendered
still more impressive by the ancient
musical instruments.

The Boston journal prints this almost
incredible story about a plurnber: That
plumbers are men without conscienoes
has become a popular belief, arising, no
doubt from an inspection Of their bills.
But there is one exception at least. On
Sunday morning a citizen of the South
End found HE water pipes frozen. After
two hours unsuccessful work he went
forth and secured a plumber, who was
able to obviate the difficulty. The citi.
zen wished to settle at once, but the
plumber refused any pay, stating that he
could not refuse to obey such a call on
Sunday, as delay often caused damage,
but he could not c~onscientiously accept
money for work done on Sunday. We
suppress the name, as the worthy man
might have no rest on Sundays during
the present winter"

The formation of fresh.water lakes in
Australia presents some curious pbc.
Lake George, which is gene.
rally thought to be the largest lake on
the continent, was not in existence
t%wenty-four years ago. 1t is situated
about n hundred and fifty miles from
sydney, at a hight Of two thousand feet
above the sea level, and is t~wenty-thrce
miles long, sever miles wide, and from
twenty-five to thirty feet deep. The
Rev. K. Abbay, in a note to Nature,
attributes the recent and rapid ferma.
uon OF this lake to the killing of the
trees, which until lately overspread
nearly the whole basin in which it stands,
The effect of destroying the timber was
TO reduce the evaporation from the
entire drainage area, and at the same
time accelerate the flow OF water from
all directions into the lowest depression
now occupied by the lake. The settlers
have cleared away much Of the wood
land, but many acres OF bush and trees
have died from some unexplained cause
probably disease. A W~ellstocked fish
pond, which was overAowed by the lake
as 1t Increased 10 size, has supplied its
waters with fine fish, among which are
specimens of the Australian fresh.water
ced, weighing from thirty to forty pounds
each.
