Imagination q Cure.

The Sacramento Record says {: A Sac
ramentan who had heard and read n great
deal about the blue glass cure, concluded
that he would try it for his rheumatism.
He accordingly procured half a dozen
panes, inserted them in the window of
his bathroom, and took n "sun bath"
according to the prescribed formula, for
three successive days. His wife had
been away from home, and when she
returned she Wa delighted to hear that
the new cure had done her husband n
wondrous amount of good. He WAS
eager to have her see the new window,
and she felt considerable curiosity Oh
the subject herself, but on entering the
bathroom she burst into n fit of
laughter, which was explained q moment
later by her ejaculation {: "That's your
~,nazarine blue glass! Why, goosey,
that isn't blue ; that's green!" He
doesn't feel so we'll now.

4. Scene in Il .Murderer'S Tell.

Charles NJ. Sterling, who WAS to have
been hanged il Youngstown, Ohio, for
the murder, two years ago, of Il young
German girl named Lizzie Grnmbacker,
was respiteI by Gov. Young until April
20. The mystery which has surrounded
the accused was intensified by persons
who claim to be his mother and brother,
from Maxwell, Ontario, arriving in town
and visiting him i'll jail. He has since
his second trial insisted that his parents
resided there, and gave the names OF
different members OF his family, and,
when his supposed mother was taken
into his presence and rushed forward to
embrace him, he coolly drew buck, Say
ing that she Was not his mother; tlut he
never knew her and had never seen her:
that he had never been ct Maxwell; that
his nume Was not Charles NJ. Sterling;
inst he hai invented the story he had
told 50 often; that he WAS once intimate
with the real Charles NJ. Sterling, and
had assumed his na,ne
Mrs. Sterling is positive that this is
her son, though he left home seven years
ago. The mother tried to mention Incl
dents which would make hin remember
her, besought him not to add This to TIC
crime of which he was accused, and with
tears and sobs irnplored Il look of
recognition; but all to no purpose.

Prof. Tyndall,S Warning.

In concluding MI address to the students Of
University college I.ondony. Prof. Tvndall, who
is unuuestionably one Of the most indefatigable
brain workers OF or century, said Take
care Of your health. Imagine Hercules as oars
man in Il rotten boat what can he do there but
by the very force Of his stroke expedite the
ruin OF his craft. Take care of the timbcrs Of
your boat" The distinguished scientist advice
il equally valuable to all workers. We arc apt
to devote all our energies to welding the ours,
our strokes fall firm and fast, but few Of us ey-
anime or even think OF the condition Of our
boats until the broken or rotten timbers sud-
denly give way and we find ourselves the vic
Tins Of a calamity which could have been easily
avoided by q little forethought. What began
with a slight fracture, or perhaps even q care
less exposure to disorganiZing influences, ends
in the Complete wreck Of the iifeboat. The dis
ease which began with a slight headache or an
undue exposure to cold, terminates in death
unless its progress is checked and the disease
remcdied. The first symptoms, the heralds Of
disease, give no indication Of the strength of
the on-colning foe, and the victim trusts that
his old ally, Nature, will exterlninate the inya-
der. But Disease il all old general and accom-
