A Medical Students Prank.

A London livery-stable keeper recent
ly sued medical student for disfgur-
ing a pony with lampblack. The pony
was originally milk white; his owner
left him for about five minutes in front
of a public house and in charge of a
small boy. When he came back he
found waiting for him an animal as
black as dress-eoat. He protested
that the pony had been changed for
another one, :. but. on calling it by its
name, the intelligent creature showed.
by its recognition of its master $
voice." that its identity was mques-
tionable, although, as the owner told
the Judge, it was transformed into :. a
complete guy. the queerest-looking an
imal you ever saw" All that the boy.
who was severely berated, could offer in
explanation, was that gentleman had
been examining the pony. The
gentleman turned out to be mischiey-
Gus medical student, whom the Magis-
trate fined fifteen dollars, chiefly, per
haps, because the pony had caught a
severe cold from the washings neces-
sary to the removal of the lampblack.
The owner testified that all efforts
made for a restoration of the white coat
were unsuccessful: :. it was impossible
to get the lampblack out of her, and
she shone like beetle" The medical
student paid his fine. and was doubtless
ashamed of himself.

international unday-sehoel Lessons,
A Religion of Reason.

CHRISTIANITY is prominently re-
hgion of reason. 1t comes as a testi-
mony from God, and LAYS before every
man its credentials 1t challenges the
closest and most thorough inyestiga-
ton 1t is religion of light, of knowl-
edge, of evidence. 1t shrinks from no
scrutiny, it eovets no concealment, it
sets on a hill. Its grand facts and
doctrines were never hid in a corner,
but were things transacted in the light
of the sun. Its language TO every man
is come and see, come and taste, and
know for yourself, come and let us rea-
son together. 1t appeals TO the intel
lect of every man.
Hence, all its divinely-appointed or
dinances and institutes proceed upon
the assumption that man is an intelli-
gent creature, that he is rational and
free agent. and that he must believe
and act on sufficient evidence, that he
must study in order 10 learn, and that
he must learn in order to know and do
the will of God. In a word, the Chris
tan is disciple-a disciple for life in
the school of Christ The Sabbath is
his school-time, the Bible his great text
book, the Lords public sanctuary. and
/ his own household sanctuary, the school
rooms where his studies are to be pre-
scented as long as he lives. God has
made most ample and thorough pro-
visions for the satisfying OF all the de-
mands of his rational nature, and for
that complete intellectual education in
the truths of the Bible, which will enable
every true disciple in this school to give
to every inquirer an intelligent and sat
isfactory reason for his faith. How
deep, how strong, how impregnable
must be the convictions of the truths of
Christianity on the minds of such a
man as the Great Chalmers, after dill
gently studying Gods word through a
lifetime. preaching them to others and
preaching them to himself. And how
clear, how logical, how irrefragable
would be the argument. the demonstra-
tios, the answer which such a student
would be ready and able to give for the
faith he professed. 1t is the privilege
and duty of every intelligent Christian
to do the same.
Well, it is just as competent for the
Christian of our day to give that logical
objective reason for the truths of Chris
tianity as it was for those in the times
of the Apostle. And every man, woman
and child will be able to give it just in
proportion to the interest and diligence
with which they give themselves to the
continued and systematic study of the
Word of God. Thus not only the VEN
cradle Apostle Paul, after long life OF
toll and study could give IT. but he could
confidently appeal to his young Disciple
Timothy. as one who had been thus in
structed and was in like manner able to
give it. :. But continue thou in the
things which thou hast learned and hast
been assured of, knowing of whom
thou hast learned them, and that from
child thou hast known the Holy Scrip
lures which are able to make thee wise
unto salvation through faith which is
in Christ Jesus.-Reu. L. j. Halsey,
d. d.

THOUSANDS suffer from wakefuIness
who are otherwise in good health
With some of them this becomes . hab-
it. and too often ; growing one. Not .
few resort to soporific drugs, and the
taste for opium is thus often initiated
Others find alcoholic liquors occasion
ally effectual, and there can be no doubt
that in this way the foundation of IN
temperate indulgence in these liquors
has been laid Many people, however,
have found a way Of going to sleep
without resorting to such dangerous
measures For instance, looking at .
fixed point steadily will often succeed
in inducing sleep; or, if it is too dark to
do this, closing the eyes and in mag
nation watching attentiyely the stream
Of air entering and leaving the nostrils.
Another plan has recently been pro-
posed by DIR. Cooke, who tells us that
in many eases of sleeplessness it is only
necessary to breathe very slowly and
quietly for few minutes to secure re-
freshing sleep. He thinks that most
cases depend on hyperamia of the
brain, and that in this slow breathing
the blood supply is lessened sufficiently
TO make an impression. Certainly,
when the mind is nncontrollably active,
and so prevents sleep, persons whose
observation was worth trusting have
testified that the breathing was quick
and short, and they have found they be-
came more disposed to sleep by breath
ing slowly. This supports DIR. Cookies
practice, but at other times his plan
quite failed. II is certainly worth any
ones while who is occasionally Sleep
less to give it trial In doing so they
should breathe very quietly. rather
deeply, and at long intervals, but not
ong enough to cause the least feeling
of uneasiness. In fine, they should i'm
itate person sleeping. and do it stead
ily for several minutes.
In no case should opiates or other
drugs be resorted to for sleeplessness
except under the direction of a physi-
cian- The other methods mentioned
above may be safely tried by anybody:
but if they fail, and the case becomes
at all serious. medical advice should be

A Genuine Surprise.

Boys brought up on the sea-coast of
the British Islands have usually pas
sion for the sea, and by the time they
reach the age of fourteen or fifteen
years. they generally come to the de-
termination to run away from home
and ship as apprentices on board the
Newcastle colliers or foreign trading
vessels. Indeed, it may be said with
perfect truth. that the merchant navy
of Great Britain is largely recruited
from such runaways, and there are few
men of shore-going occupation, wheth-
er merchants, clerks, artisans. or labor
ers, who cannot look back TO one of
these runaway experiences in their
lives. 1t would be destroying the ro-
nance of the thing for boy TO ask the
consent of his parents to go TO sea; he
must run away and ship on his own
hook, as all sailors have done from
time immemorial. Many of these boys
arrive in Newcastle-on-Tyne without a
cent in their pockets. and SO worn out
with their journey that they are not
able TO walk the remainder of the way
to the shipping-port-North Shields
which is eight miles down the river
These boys area frequently referred to
the Aeel-men, and these worthless never
hesitate TO give a boy a passage down
the river in their wineries. On one oc-
casion couple of boys were given a
passage by keelman, and ON the pas
sage he had curiosity to examine the
bundles they carried. They opened
them, and, after displaying their Sun
day clothes and white shirts. pipes and
tobacco, the latter of which the keel
man took possession of, one pulled out
a bar of soap.
What's that?'' the keelman in
quired.
"A bar of soap" answered the boy
LAY man, is it gud for eatin' ''' said
the keelman.
Good for eating,' said the boy,
smiling. No: that's for washing your
SELF
"Ay man, dye say sac said the
keelman. "an' how div We usesiro"
why, you wash yourself with it, y
said the boy. Its soap, don't l tell
you.'
.'Ay; but its hard. an l dinna see
ony water in it, observed the keelmaD,
as he examined it and held it between
BIN and the light
The boy drew bucket of water from
the river. and with the soap washed his
face, the keelman watching him Curl
ously.
LAY, az, see. !" said the keelman,
"but never would thout it. Man,
man. what inventions there is in this
yearth. Let me try that.
/ The keelman tried the process, but,
as he had not been washed for some
twenty years before, the incrusted
dirt came off only in spots. and when
he looked in the glass, which one of the
boys carried in his pocket, he started
back and cried:
What is it? It's made me like a
lepy-yard i the circus"
As may be surmised, that keelman
never tried the experiment again. As
he was constantly carving coal the
white spots soon healed over and he re-
covered from his fright, but he never
afterward looked upon piece of soap
without feeling of aversion. Boston

Mixed Drinks and Mixed Drinkers.

Revelations of the secrets of the
dram-selling business in Chicago were
recently made in the United States Dis
trict Court. A saloon-keeper, who had
enjoyed the most fashionable patronage
in the CITY, went into bankruptcy
Among his liabilities was scheduled a
debt due to firm of wholesale drug
gists = for materials used in compound
ing liquors" The publication of this
bill, which under ordinary circumstan-
ces would be marked :. strictly private
and confidential, has agitated the
fashionable youth The inquiry which
is naturally suggested to the whisky
drinking man in connection with it is,
what materials are used by the best
saloon-keepers in compromising liq-
uors?n And what is this new and ESQ
teric art? 1t is evidently a fourishing
industry. For if the saloon-keeper owed
nearly $1,000 for drugs when he went
into bankruptcy he must have paid
many Thousand dollars on the same ac-
count in the days of his prosperity.
There is something mysterious about the
phrase, :. compromising liquors" The
cocktail they know, and the insidious
julep they have not neglected; but
g compounded liquor has no place in
the vocabulary of the drinking man. 1t
is painful superstition, but reason
able one, that the compromising Of
liquors is the treatment of highwines by
means of various chemicals more or
less toothsome and noxious. Thus the
