TEST OF Coop Cow.-It is said that the
color of the inside of the cows ear affords an
infallible guide to the selection of good but
ter cow. If the skin on the inside of the ear
is of rich yellow or orange color and the
lining of the ear is covered with an oily Sc
cretion, the COW will be sure to give a good
quality of milk, rich in butter. Cows that
produce a high-colored butter have large
amount of the secretion, the inside of the ear
being of an orange tint On the other hand,
light-color butter-makers present scanty,
thin, and pale yellow secretion, in some cases
found only at the bottom of the ear, while the
inside lining is of correspondingly pale,
underlined color. Every female of the bovine
family has the power of secreting a certain
amount of this oily matter. If the quantity
be normally large, secretion will take place
freely in the mammary glands, the ear, and
the skin. As the test is simple and costs
nothing, it cannot fail to prove a useful aux
ilary in the selection of rich mixers.

A New CEMENT.-A new cement for glass
ware has been discovered, which is said to
have the quality of being unaffected by boil
ing water. 1t is also free from another objec-
tonable feature of china and glass cements,
as it does not dis6gure by dark line along
the junction. The method of making the
cement (Which must be used when fresh), is
to add to FIVE parts of solution Of gelatine,
one part of solution of acid chromate of
lime. The articles, after the broken surfaces
have been united with this cement, must be
exposed to strong sunlight for few hours
and meanwhile should be held in the proper
position under considerable pressure from a
wire or a string. A fracture thus repaired in
glassware is said to be hardly perceptible.

be avoided 80 long as solid food can be ta-
ken. Rise from the table feeling you have
had enough, but not oppressed with what you
have eaten. The bread should be stale, and
no very heating food taken. Eight hours
sleep should be taken every night if possible.
This alone will nearly cure. Take no mar

before bedtime are worth all the narcotics in
the world, are easily digested and furnish ma.

pockets to avoid prosecution will compromise
on almost any terms. Not long ago lady
in New York had her pocket picked of a
portmonaie. She was able to describe the
thief and he was arrested. She claimed to
have lost a solitaire diamond ring in the sto-
len pocket-book, but on searching among her
valuables day or two afterwards discovered
the diamond. The time for the examination
of the thief in court was fixed, and the day
previous the lady was astonished to receive
her purse with its contents intact, including
a diamond ring, which the newspapers had
stated was in it, but which the thief supposed
he must have lost in the hurry of the rob.
berry. To receive as present from thief,
diamond which she had never lost, so pleas
ed the lady that she refused to appear against
him, and he was discharged.

hell, when God has purchased for US heaven
and provided means to fit US for heaven? 1t
is not on account of any defect, either in the
atonement or in the manner of its application.
No one in this country, or any other Chris
tian land, can say, "It is true that Christ
died for sinners and made all necessary pro-
visions for their salvation, but this salvation
was not offered to me-" The instruction
which Christ gives his ministers is to preach
the gospel to every creature-to all of Ad.
ANS race-to the rich and the poor--to all,
absolutely and unrestricted. God offers Christ
to all freely and in good faith. God has no
delight in turning sinners into hell. "As
live, saith the Lord God, have no pleasure in
the death of the wicked" Ezekiel xxxiii II.
Who will dare say that God is not in earnest
when he says: "Look unto me, and be ye
saved, all ye ends of the earth" Isaiah,
xlv:22. Who will say that Jesus Christ is
mocking the sinner when he says: "Come
unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy Ia
den, and will give you rest" Matt. tx: 20.
1t is impossible that the friend of sinners is
not in earnest when he invites the lost and
ruined to come unto him and live Why,
then, is it that many will be told by the sa-
viour at the last day, to depart into everlast-
ing fire, prepared for the devil and his an
gels? Matt. XIV Al. Who is to be blamed
for this state of things? 1t is not God the
father. He so loved the world-the human
family-that he gave his only begotten son
that whosoever believeth on him should not
perish-that is, 60 to hell-but have eternal
life. John iii 16. God the son is not to be
blamed that men are lost. He took upon

The Newspaper.

Philip Gilbert Hamilton, in his ad- mirable papers on 'sIntellectual Life," thus talks of the paper: Newspapers are to the civilized world what the daily house talk is to the members of the family-they keep our daily interest in each other, they save us from the evils of isolation. To live as member of the great white race that has filled Europe and America and colonized or conquered whatever territory it has been pleased to occupy, to share from day to day it's thought, its cares, it's in spiration, it is necessary that every man should read his paper. Why are the French peasants so bewildered at sea? It is because they never read a news paper. And why are the inhabitants of the United States, though scattered over territory fourteen times the area of France, so much more capable of concerted action, so much more alive and modern, so much more interested in new discoveries of all kinds and cap able of selecting and utilizing the best of them? It is becanse the newspapers penetrate everywhere, and even the lonely dweller on the prairie or the forest is not intellectually isolated from the great currents of public life which flow through the telegraph and press.

Japanese Damsel's Toilet.

The toilet preparations of Japanese damsel, are of no light consideration, and to be in good time for the feast she must be up and dressing long before the sun rises from behind Fuji, the great sacred mountain. The long, coarse tresses of black hair must be washed, combed and greased till the head shines. like a knob of polished black marble. The cheeks must be rouged to the proper tint, the throat, neck and bosom powdered-carefully leaving however, on the neck three lines of the brown skin of the owner, in accordance with the rules of Japanese cosmetic art. Then the eyebrows must be carefully rounded and touched with black, the lips reddened with cherry paste, with patch of gliding in the centre. When all this has been done, and she gets together proper allow ance of pocket-handkerchief paper, her tobacco pouch, pile and fan, she sallies forth

Social Life.

Any great movement in social life begins at home. It begins with fathers and mothers. The first and highest duty is to make home cheerful and at tractive. Husband and wife must do this for each other. Without this their mutual affection will dry up. If they have children, it is their duty to make home sweet and precious to them. Children with good homes seldom go to the bad. Girls who have learned to trust their mother, in their whole round of thought, seldom get talked about. Boys who are made to feel the strength of fathers and the tenderness of a mothers love seldom run wild. Their natural love of fun and mischief does not bind them over to the Devils ser vice. Pleasant, cheerful, bright homes, then, are the great demand. They may be poor, but they still can be pleasant and attractive and good. The heart and spirit are more than furniture and dwelling.

The Stones of the Pyramids.

The immense stones used in the erec- tion of the Pyramids of Egypt were ob- tained from the quarries in the Arabian hills, and were carried to the river and over bridge of boats. They were then brought toward by means of a cause way, which is said to have been a fine work, with it's polished stones and fig ures of animals engraved upon them. One hundred thousand men were em- ployed at time, and these were relieved by the same number at the end of three months. A long time was spent in the leyeling of the rock on which the edifice stands, and twenty years for the erection of the pyramid itself. The stones were raised step by step by means of a ma chine made of short pieces of wood, and last of all commencing from the top, the stones were cemented together with 8 layer of cement not thicker than a piece of paper, the strength of which is proved by the age of these enormous memorials.

 Mrs. Belden made a naughty gesture with her hand, as if she would have warned off the intruder.
 ''Wait, mother" said Louis calmly. ''Of course Jenny's good sense will tell her what is right, and she belongs to me, you know"
 I saw Jim give great start. The blood flushed up hotly into his brown cheeks. There was pause for a mo- ment; then Jim said, passing his hand over his forehead, as if he were not quite clear as to what he heard;
 ''Is it so with thee, my little Jenny? Will my little girl be happy always away from her poor old Jim ?''

 "Louis," said I, ''I have loved you with these, and perhaps for these; but I loved Jim without them long ago and I will love him without them the rest of my life. Forgive me, Louis; I am not fit, as you see, for wealth and splendor. It is natural for me to re- turn to my kind. Come, let us part in peace."
 Mrs Belden rose; her eyes were like the flaming sword that drove Adam and Eve from paradise. She would have spurned us from her presence.
 But Louis laid his hand calmly upon her shoulder. "Mother," said he, "Jenny is right
 have often said to Jim since, as we two were chatting in the cabin of Jim's good ship:
 ''Captain Jim, Louis was gentle man, after all, though he wasn't man enou gh to save my life.'
