Westminster Abbey.

In 1910, during the leisure of my
Embassy, experienced a striking proof
of the extent and charm of Macaulay's
knowledge. He offered to act as a
cicerone in visit to Westminster
Abbey. During three or four hours
wandered with him through that monu-
mental gallery of England and her
families. | stopped him, or he stopped
me, at every step, at one time in reply
to my questions, at another anticipating
them; then he explained an allegOrical
monument, reminded me of long-for-
gotten fact, related an anecdote little
known, or recited some beautiful pass
age from the writers or orators whose
names we encountered. We paused be-
fore the statue of Lord Chatham, stand
ing with his head elevated and his arm
advanced as if enforcing burst of elo-
quence; before him at his feet was
inscribed on a simple stone the name of
mis- son, William Pitt. might not one
say" observed Macaulay, THAT the
father rises and there publicly delivers
the funeral Grafton of his SON." and at
this thought some of the most beautiful
speeches of Lord Chatham thronged on
his memory, from which he quoted
select passages. The monuments of the
great writers, whether in prose or verse,
called forth the same abundant display,
the same inspiration of memory. Mil
ton and Addison were f;ivorites with
him, and he detained me several min
utes before their names, gratifying HIM
self by recalling incidents of their lives
or passages from their works almost as
much as he excited my delight in listen
ing to him. The entire visit filled me
with delight and interest. As the
illustrious dead of Italy issued from
their tombs on the passing of Dante, so
did the great celebrities of English his
tory and literature rise up before me at
the voice of worthy representative
GuizOt at the Court Of 81. james.

An American Dish.

An amusing story is told, of which
it is averred that no less parsonage
than the late George Peabody, the eel
ebrated American banker, was the
hero. 1t appears that Mr.. Peabody had
invited three Englishmen to meet two
Americans at dinner, and on this occa-
sion, having received as gift ten ears
of corn, determined to renew the recOl-
lectiOns of his youth, astonish his Eng
lish and please his American guests bv
having it served up in the well-known
American style.
Accordingly at a proper time, plates
of butter and salt were placed before
each guest, and the banker, with some
thing of an air of mystery, announced
that he was now about to treat his
guests to a well-known and delicious
American dish of food. cooked i'm the
manner. 1t would be no novelty to his
American guests, but the Englishmen
must watch how it was disposed of by
them and follow their example and
manner in disposing of it. Then, at a
signal, entered stately butler bearing
a large covered dish, which he deposi-
ted solemniy before Mr.. Peabody. In
moment more, in obedience to the
bankers nod, he whisked aft the cover,
and there, before the astonished guests,
was displayed of ten broiled corncobs !,
The banker gazed for an instant in
mute horror and dismay, and then found
voice to demand an explanation, which
was finally reached when the cook was
summoned, fellow who had never
seen an ear of Indian corn in his life.
He replied that he had followed his
masters direction to ''strip off the out
side before boiling" which he had done
most faithfully, not only husks, as was
intended, but kernels also, so that the
banker had only what is, in America.
the mute evidence of the feast to indi-
cate what were his intentions to his
guests.

1--WE Passed That"

It's one thing to have an object in
life, it is quite another thing to know
when we are aiming at it. Many begin
well, but after time get off the course
then their life is more likely to grow
wrong than right. The following in
cident has its moral for all who are
aiming to do right:
During Il beautiful summers night on
one of our great lakes, the master of a
boat thought he might take a few hours
rest, and intrusted the rudder to the
hands of his boy, a somewhat simple
minded lad. ''Do you see that star
straight before usT'' he said to him.
pointing to the Polar star.
s'Yes.''
''Well, you have nothing TO do but to
keep the boat straight in that direc-
tiOn.'
Il understand"
The captain fell asleep. The boy did
the same. The wind changed; the boat
turned out of its course more and more,
till at last it had made semi-circle.
The boy awoke; he was astonished to
see behind his back the star which had
just now been straight before him, but
he did not the less continue with firm
hand to steer the boat towards the south.
from whence it had first come.
Two hours after the master in his turn
awoke He cast one glance upon the sky
and another upon the boy.
well, stupid what are you doing p"
lam still keeping always straight be-
fore me, as you told me"
'Ah, indeed and the Polar starr"
'Oh, the Polar star, why we passed
that long agO"'

The Jerusalem Chamber, Westminster
Abbey.

-Acoty-
The Jerusalem Chamber itself, though
an unpretentious building alike in Its
external appearance and its internal
arrangement, is connected with two
events in the history of England, the
one OF which the great dramatist of Eng
lish literature has rendered famous for
ever, the other OF which has exerted an
influence on all English-speaking ma
tions such as is simply incaiculable.
Here it was that Henry w., coming
up TO London. covered with a hideOus
leprosy, and almost bent double with
pain and weakness, laid him down TO
die. 1t was, apparently, the only room
in the Abbey which had conveniences
for fire. Ii was the early spring; the
Abbey itself was chilly; and to the
Jerusalem Chamber the King was car
ried by his attendants, and there laid
upon pallet before the great fireplace.
IL is in room in the palace of West
minister adjoining that Shakespeare
places that most effecting scene, in
which the Young Prince puts on his
own head the crown of his sleeping
father; and thence he represents the
king was carried at his own request To
TO the Jerusalem Chamber Tor his
death.

long unto the lodging wnereI trsJ did swoon?

1t has been prophesed 10 me many years
should not die but In Jerusalem;
Which yalnly 1 supposed, the Holy land
But bear me 10 that chamber; there II die;
In that Jerusalem shall marry die.
The other, and more important,
though less dramatic scene, which
renders this chamber memorable in his
tory is Intimately connected with the
history of the church and the develop
ment of theology. Here it was driven
by the cold, as Henry ". had been,
from the Abbey itself, the famous con-
vocation of Presbyterian clergy was
held which undertook to change the ell
tire character of the Established Church
of England, but which, ending SEEM
ingly i'll failure, really resulted in
a church whose scope and
influence have outrun their widest
dreams. This little chamber is the
birthplace of the Presbyterian denom-
ination. Here, and in the chapel OF
Henry VII, changing their sessions in
part according TO the weather, sat the
famous Westminster assembly. Out of
these walls came the directory, the
longer and shorter catechisms, and that
famous confession of faith which is still
the accepted symbol of theological doc
trine of one of the largest Protestant de-
in England and the United
States.
In this chamber sit the committee
now engaged in the revision of the
Magazine.

NeU Weighing InstrumeRt.-Ihe or
dinary chemical balance Is, of course,
rather a costly instrument, it being
difficult to make the two halves sufii-
ciently alike, and to combine stability
with sensitiveness. NJ. Pager proposes
the following arrangement for small
weights A twO-armed tube is filled
with mercury, and on one of the mer-
curry surfaces is placed well fitted
plate. which can move in the tube with
out friction. This serves as a balance
scale, and the body to be weighed is
placed on it. The liquid will rise in
the other arm cOrTespOndingly, and
equilibrium is at once obtained with a
great certainty. Place known weight,
! grain, for example, and note how
high the mercury rises. Then place a
second grain and note the additional
rise. Going on in this way, a scale
may easily be constructed. AS for
each rise in one arm there is an equal
sinking in the other, this scale can be
applied to the other leg also, of course
in opposite direction. The sensitive
ness of the arrangement is cOnsidera
BILE. 1t can be increased by the use of
the TOrricellian vacuum. the plate, with
the body to be weighed resting, in this
case, on the mercury IN the open arm.
The scale can here have no fixed zero,
since the air pressure varies, which Is
only a slight Inconvenience.

Upon the action of the kidneys bladder and
bowels depends the depuraEon of the blood.
Ii Is by promoting the activity OF these organs
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters ensure pur-
ity to the circulation. In its passage through
the kidneys, impurities which beget rheuma-
tlsm- gout and gravel are strained from the
blood but when those small but all important
organs grow inactive, these impurities of
course remain, and inevitably produce the dis
eases mentioned. Hostetter's Bitters rouse
the kidneys TO renewed activity, by which
means the blood is depursted. 1t likewise
purlfies the blood when contaminated with
bile by promoting gentle but effectual action
of the bowels, and has the further effect of
regulating the action of the liver, thus counter
acting tendency to blliOusness. Dyspepsia.
malarial feyers and urinary complaints are

Spring FeUer Hor Not to Hare It.
In the Christian Union, writer gives
the symptoms and several remedies for
very common complaint, prevalent
with almost every one to q greater or
less extent at this season of the year !:
The hampered body, says the writer,
which has been cOddled, petted, stuffed
with carbon bearing fats, and calOritied
in every possible way, begins to pro-
test. The machinery is clogged; head
ache, Dyspepsia and the thousand
nameless sensations of discomfort
which We charge to variable weather,
affiict and hamper poor humanity. To-
day the fog depresses our vital force.
tomorrow the brain is pierced with
binding sunshaft /; and so each days
external is made responsible for inter-
nal shortcOming. The htterdteur, In
atrabiliOus humOr, afflicts the world
with morbid philosophy. The pastor
sees weak humanity more than ever
sinful, and his Lenten homilies are un-
consciously tinctured with deeper dye
for the pangs of his own mortality.
The housewife, in over heated rooms,
with monotone of circumscribed care
and TOO little outside diversion, finds
dirt and despair in the kitchen, chaos
III uODt III utI
mendiDg basket.
Among other remedies for people
who say. 81 always have bilious at
tack in the spring." the following seems
the most potent:
On rising, sponge the body lightly
and quickly with cold water, briskly
tOweling after. 1t is not necessary
that this be long or labOrOus opera
tiOn the more rapid the better, with
sufficient friction to bring glow to
the skin. If you cannot secure time to
go over the whole bodily surface, at
least make it point to daily sponge
the trunk and arms. ROusing and
stimulating the whole system, clearing
and opening the pores, 1t imparts an
indescribable freshness and exhilara-
ton, amply repaying the effort. Re-
habilitated, you are now ready for your
morning bitters, namely, the clear
Juice of a fresh lemon in a wineglass of
water, without sugar. This Is bomb
straight at the enemy, for a more po-
tent solvent of bile is not in the nlaterid
Dledicd. Searching our rheumatic ten
dency, attacking those insidiOus foes
which are storing up anguish against
our later days-calculi-it pervades
the system like fine moral sense,
rectifying incipient error. 1t is need
full, perhaps, to begin with two lemons
daily, the second at night before retir-
ing.
A primitive but most efficaciOus pre-
scriptiOn, which corrected the physical
reaction after a pork -eatiDg winter for
our ancestors, was a wlneglass full of
very hard cider, made effervescent
l. l. nE al
and palatable is the cOncentric force
of the pure lemon acid.
We venture TO claim for this self
treatment alone, faithfully applied,
more relief for the body and stimulus
to the mind than from a battery of
pills OF quarts of herb decOction.

Treatment Of HydrophoJid.-The fol-
lowing treatment of hydrophobia is
suggested in the Medical journal. The
patient is to be undressed, seated on a
cane chair, and the whole body up to
the neck envelOped in blankets. Under
the chair spirit lamp is placed. This
lamp is protected in cage, on the top
of which is a receptacle for the calomel
(twenty or thirty grains), and saucer
for water. The flame beneath bOiIs
the water, and volatilizes the calomel.
Moderate salvation, which is all that
is required, says the writer, may be in
duced in a quarter of an hour, and
judiciously repeated If the symptoms
seem benefited by the treatment. This
treatment is said tn have been success
full in a case of hydrophobia in India
during 1867.
