look as II the ferns we're iulaid. I made
mine about six months ago, and the ferns
have retained their color, and are just as
pretty as ever.-E Letter to Chicago
Tribune.
The prevalence of a disease resem>
bling erysipelas, among the young chill
dren in London, has been traced to poi
sonOus ingredients in toilet powder
used. A person whose child was thus
attacked suspected a violet powder In
use in the nursery, and sent a package
of it TO firm of analysts for chemical
examination. 1t was found to contain
70 per cent. of white arsenic. This
poison it seems is unfortunately exceed
inely cheap, at all events cheaper than
starch, OF which violet powder is usually
made According to the Lancet, subse-
quent examination revealed arsenic in
similar quantities in most of the violet
powder ia use.

drawers and vice versa. We sought in
vain the French name of some article.
And when the first washing came back
minus more or less articles and the con-
comitaDt fuss was raised, we had first the
landlord, and then his wife, and finally
his SON, all talking st once in cur room.
They burst in one after the other, with
out ceremony. They talked and we
talked, with the usual unsatisfactory
results when two parties converse in a
language which neither understands.
FINALLY, we sat down. and allowed the
French natien to do all the talking. 1t
seemed SIS if they would never stop. /
had rather go with garments unwashed
than endure the ordeal of an average
trenchman explaining away an inform
atty in a washing list. Because, at
such time, he endures for ever and ever.

STICK HALL One of the most charming
halls for concerts in \. Y. city is The justly
celebrated Steck Hall, No. IL E. 14th street.
The seating capacity is about 500, and the
acoustic properties of the building are so ex-
eellsnt that they surpsss those of any other
similar establishment. Connected with this
hall are the wsreToOms of the renowned Steck
pianos, the manufacture of which was started
a quarter of a century ago by Mr.. Geo. Steek.
These instruments are unrivaled for tone and
durability, and have taken the first prize at
the Vienna exhibition in 1873, and at Phiia.
in 1876. The finn in full sympathy with the
times offer intending purchasers every pos
sibIe inducement as to prices and terms.

Sunlight.

1t is a familiar fact that potato-vine
growing in q dark cellar is white, puny,
and without strength. 1t would be
almost precisely the same with child
confined to dark room. It is also well
known that light is somehow essential to
health, and that simple sunshine Is the
best medicine in many diseases. But it
is not known how the hygienic effect is
exerted, though there is reason to believe
the effect is mainly due, not to the color
rays, but to the actinic-the invisible
rays that paint the picture in the photo
graph, and penetrate to the seed beneath
the sod and quicken its germ.
Some experiments, however, recently
presented to the English royal society,
have bearing on the solution of the
question. They prove that the presence
of light, but especially of direct sun
shine, prevents the development of the
microscopic fungi which are associated
with putreiaction and decay. When
there are germs already present in q
liquid, it destroys them. and perfectly
preserves g putrescibIe fluid in which
they have not yet been developed.
While this preservative quality is most
powerful in the direct rays of the sun.
it also exists In diffused light.
The hygiene of light viii doubtless
sometime be fully understood, Mean
while we know enough TO make it sin
against health not to let the sun have
freest admission to our dwellings.

Incorporate Water Drinking.

Improper drinking has killed thou
sands. There have been instances where
thirsty armies, after long marches, have
come to some river, when the men would
lie down on their faces and qusff an inor-
dinate quantity of water, with these
results: Some died almost instantly,
others become crazy and staggered like
drunken men. Avoid drinking water as
much as possible while walking. When
you feel thirsty, rinse the mouth with
water, but do not swallow it. Drink
only when resting. Men, When heated,
should not drink anything cold. Drink
slowly; half a tumbler of water will
suffice the thirstiest man in the world, il
he drinks it by sips. In fact it is almost
impossible to get down a full glass OF
water taken in this way.

some foods are more readily assimilsted
than others, and those which contain
little nutriment in themselves NAV
strongly promote the digestion of other
substances. In one respect, fruit pos
sesses q power of preventing disease,
when regularly eaten, which gives it
great value. Residents of newly settled
portions of the country when they can
have a regular, supply Of well-riPened
malarial diseases which SO often prevail
in thoss regions.

viii not be finished to eternal ages. To
fear tho censures Of men, when Ged is
your judge; to fear their evil, when God
is your defence to fear death, when he

Joy, and security, fear TO offend God to

the alluring face of lust. and the smooth
entertainments of intemperance fear the

it; and, when you have recovered from
the snare, then infinitely fear to return
into that condition, in which, whosoever
dwells, is the heir of fear and eternal
sorrow.-[ Jeremy TAYLOR.

A Cure for Drunkenness.

The Scientific American contains an
account of an experimental test of Lie
big's theory for the cure of habitual
drunkenness. The experiment consisted
of simple change of diet, and was tried
upon twenty seven persons, with salts
factory results. The diet proposed Is
farinaceous, and in the cases reported
was composed of maccaroni, haricot,
beans, dried peas and lentils. The dishes
were made palatable by being thoroughly
boiled and seasoned with butter or olive
oil. Breads of highly glutinous quality
were used, care being taken to prevent
their being soured in course Of prepara-
ton. Liebig remarks that the disinclin-
alton for alcoholic stimulants, after
partakiug of such food, is due to the
carbonaceOus starch contained therein,
which renders unnecessary and distaste-
full the carbon of liquors. If this plan
proves successful, it viii be the medium
of ef1ecting 8 more thorough reform than
years of legislative enactment OF soasms
OF social work can possibly accomplish.

Working and Thinking.

Ruskin made very practical point
when he said " It is a no less fatal error
to despise labor when regulated by in
tellect, than to value it for its own sake.
We ere always, in these days, trying to
separate the two; we want one man to
be always thinking and another to be
always working, and we call one q gentle
man and the other an operative whereas
the workman ought often to be thinking,
and the thinker often to be working, and
both should be gentlemen IN the best
sense. As it is, we make both ungentle,
the one envying, the other despising his
brother and the mass of society is made
up of morbid thinkers and miserable
workers. Now, it is only by labor that
thought can be made healthy, and only
by labor that thought can be made
happy, aud the two cannot be separated
with impunity. All professions should
be liberal, and there should be less pride
felt in peculiarly Of employment snd
more in excellence of achievement
