Danger Of Wearing Belts.

The evils arising from compression
Of the chest and body in early life are
not exclusively restricted to the female
sex. SchoOlboys and youths constantly
practice the habit of binding up theiI
clothes around their bodies by means
of a belt tightened firmly above the
hips, instead of wearing the brace over
the shoulder. Some boys and youths
are also taught the plan Of putting on
an extra belt for 'holdingin the breath, !"
before they run or leap. In the pUT-
suit of certain active businesses. in
which weights have to be carried, this
same system Of wearing a tight belt is
adopted and practiced by working-men
until the artificial and ingenious sup
port, as it is assumed TO be, becomes,
like the corset Of a woman, a veritable
necessity. To the belt the same OBJ
lection applies as to the tight band and
corset. 1t impedes the free action Of
The abdominal organs; it impedes the
freedom Of the respiration: it inter
fere, with the circulation; in the young
athletes who wear it while they are run
ming, rowing, climbing, wrestling, it
tends to bring on heTnia-ruptWe.-

A Cnrtous snrgIeaI Operation.

A boy named Frank Hanafn, who
had been injured in a saw-miIl here, and
had been as we might say, almost
skinned alive, was supplied with a new
skin by taking pieces from the arms OF
eight or nine other boys. In the aeel-
dent a very large wound was made IN
his back; the surface being one mass OF
red, quivering flesh, though healthy ln
appearance. The wound, Of course,
was very sensitive. and the operation
must have been quite painful to him.
Drs. Picott and Maynard and an as
sisiant performed the operation
Around the bed were gathered six or
eight Irish boys, from eight to fifteen
years of age, from whose arms had been
taken, or was to be taken the skin
ueeded to replace that which was lost.
As each vas called on by the doctor,
he came forward, and barring his arm,
a small piece of skin was skillfully cut
out ith the lancet, and gently placed
upon the raw flesh. About thirty
pieces in all were so put on oeNeL"l
of the. boys gave up more than one
piece, and Folg T PicOtt, the doctor s
son, contributed eight pieces. Ayoung-
er brother of Hanilin's gave nearly as
many. While the operation was going
on the boys jOked among themselves
on helping to make up IIanifin, and
bantered each other on the number of
times they had submitted to be cut into
for the benefit of their playmate. The
boys were generally very willing to give
the skin required, but after a while
they evidently began to think that
enough was as good as a feast, and they
moved out doors, watching further Op-
erltions through the wind0w.-Aubmn

Dead.
By MARGREr HOLNB,

Vow his kindly eyes are dim,
And his heart Is stiH ard cold,
Living meath the graveyard mould:
All the world is gray and old,
And is raining tearI for him.
SeeI my faithful landmarks Gown;
Buried in the shifting sand
OF Lies q sprt; now stand
Reaching VHiniy for the hand
1hat has led me all the way
From my. cradle 70 this daF.
To my tears and prayers and cries
MOcking echo brings replies;
Low, how low. the dear deRd lies,
Needless all Of smile Or frOWn.
What is death3 The wise declare
That the dead shail rise again,
Free from human Ills aud pain,
Crowned with strength and beauty rGre
Through the Christ on Calvary slain
And they wisely talk offaith
While before our aching sight,
Icy cold, and still, and white.
Lie our loved ones in the blight
And the solitude OF death.
Friends, forgive me; faith is sweet
When the skies are bright and clear;
When fair flowers spring round our feet
And we feel ne Dream or I. ar
Of the grave a7d winding sheet.
But when IsrafI has come,
And we stand in sorrow dumb,
Or with bitter tears and cries
Can we see with gTief-blind eyes
Where a sweet hereafter hes7
We may clasp our dead and weep
Tears that fall like blasting rain;
Call and praytill words are pain;
They will never wake again
From their cold and droamless sheep.
There We leave them, when we must,
Earth to earth, and dust to dust"
But we carry with us thence
That beWtlderiug, aching ssnBo
OF their loss; and providence
Never sends a recOmpense.

The New York World prints acurious
bit of information about theyOUng COM
mander-in-chief of the Egyptian cOntin-
gent on the Danube. Though but "a
years old, Prince Hassan, son Of the
khedive, is an experienced soldier, and
has already had his share of haps and
mishaps. The young prince received
his military education at WoOlwich and
Berlin, after which he occupied the office
of minister of war to his father. Dur
ing the late war with Abyssinia he was
seriously wounded and made prisoner.
Although treated with great cOnsidera-
tion, King John ''tO punish him, " as he
expressed it, ''for fighting against
Christians, +" ordered that a large cross
should be tattooed on the back of each
Of the princes hands. This was done;
and when his wounds were healed the
young officer was released and returned
to Cairo. Arrived at home, Prince Has
san consulted the best European as well
as native physicians and chemists, and
Copt sOOthsayers, promising a large sum
to any one who should rid him of these
mementoes of the Abyssinian king
Advice was freely offered and expert
ments tried, the prince underwent much
suffering, but allin va:n--the Christian
crosses were indelible. In despair he
finally resorted to a derYish for advice,
and the holy man communicated arem-
edy which, at least, had the merit Of be-
ing undeniably eficacioUs. 'Chop of
both thy hands, he sid to the prince,
''better live yi;nOrt hands than wear
for ever these signs of the infdel
giaours!" But Hassan Telished it but
little, and so remains to this day tat
tOoed with the hateful symbols. This
is why no one ever sees him without
gloves.

Desert Of Sinai.

tits a Just remark of Chevalier Bun
sen, that Egypt has, properly speaking,
no history. History was born on that
night when Moses led forth his people
from Goshen. Most fully is this felt as
the traveller emerges from the valley
Of the Nile, the study of the Egyptian
monuments, and finds himself on the
o-3ad track of the desert. In those
.nOnUments, magnificent and instrUc-
tive as they are, he sees great things,
and mighty deeds-the father, the son,
and the children-the- sacrifices, the
cOnquests, the cOrOnations- But there
IS no beginning, middle and end of
moral progress, or even of a mOuTnful
decline. In the desert, on the contrary,
The moment the green fields Of Egypt
recede from our view, still more when
we reach the Red Sea, the further and
further we advance into the desert and
the mountains, we feel that everything
hencerOrward is continuous; that there
is a sustained and prOtracted interest,
increasing more and more till it reaches
its highest point in Palestine, in Jerusa-
lem, in Calvary, and in Olivet. And in
the desert Of Sinai. this interest is en-
hanced by the fact that there it stands
alone. Over all the other great scenes
Of human history-Palestine itself,
Egypt, Greece and Italy-successive
tides of great recOHections have rolled,
each to a certain extent Obliterating the
traces Of the former. But in the psnin-
sula of Sinai there is nothing to inter-
fere from the effect of that single event.
The Exodus is the one only stream Of
history that has passed through this
wonderful region-a history which has
for its background the whole magnili-
cence of Egypt, and for its distant hori-
zon the forms, as vet unborn, of Juda-
ism, of MohammedaE ism, Of Christian
ity.-Ihe Far East.
