Milk a Solvent Of Quinine.

ATTENTION has recently been called to
the fact, not generally known, that milk
not only acts as solvent of quinine,
but also to a certain extent DISCUSSES its
bitterness. 1t is stated that if one grain
of the sulphate be dissolved in an ounce
of milk, the bitterness of the salt is
scarcely perceptible, while even two
grains in the same quantity of solvent
do not make it bitter to a marked de-
gree. Five grains may be taken in two
ounces of milk without rendering it par
ticularly disagreeable, and if this be
added to tumblerful of milk, nearly
all the bitterness disappears. The res
ident surgeon of the Birmingham Gen
eral Dispensary recommends the use Of
solution of quinine. i'll glycerine, in
the proportion of one grain to one
drachm-the dose being administered
in wineglassful of milk. The method
would seem to present especial adj
vantages in the administration of quiz

Prosperity ana Happiness.

Talking not long ago with a friend,
she remarked; "Well, Tor my part, |
find it a great deal easier to be good
when Pm happy than when Pm unhat.
Ply. Misery only brings out my bad
qualities"
Doubtless other people have said this
or felt it, for Ito a certain extent) it is
true. There ia D sort Of goodness
which is brought out by prosperity.
People who are satisfied with their sur
~reundings and themselves, are apt to be
good humored and gracious to their COM
paniOns. Good fortune makes them
cheerful, %Contented, 10 they advocate
cheerlulness, and conLentment as chief
duties. The pleasures and the luxuries
of life await theih on every side, and
they wonder vaguely what makes
some people 80 unthanktul or so
gloomy! They enjoy their W chart
ties and %generosities, forgetting that
neither has cost them effort. They
are bright and happy and amiable often
from sheer force of circumstances.
On the other hand, how many really
good Christian people are sour, %fretiul,
Respondent, almost faithless, under the
pressure of adversely. They cannot for
bear worrying and anticipating, and so
they appear at a great disadvantage too
often, if they do not cast an absolute re.
proach upon the Master whose name they
bear.
TO the unconverted soul adversely is
likely to be m unfavorablo experience,
for, when the sunshine Is withdrawn, the
unstaple goodness, evoked byits warmth,
must vanish away. But to the child OF
God this must not, cannot be. Faith is
commanded to look beyond the clouds and
see hat "the SUI is still shining" The
consciousness of God'sl love and care and
sympathy a outweigh the present trial
can and will outweigh all trials If we
hold fast to it.
That it is easier to be good when life
is all brightness, we admit, but it is pos
sible to be better when the light is over
Swallowed we rush out through thick
darkness for His loving, guiding
hand. And the reward is not promised
to those who find life easiest or pleas
but to "him who o%vercometh !"
And the strength TO overcome may be
for the asking.

Bear us witness, ye poets and actors,
We painters and sculpt0rs, ye singers and
players upon instruments, that your arts
have not saved the most of you from be-
coming petty and selfish men and women.
You are Jealous of one another. You
are greedy OF praise and of the gold it
brings. You know that there is nothing
in your art that enlarges and liberaljzes
YOU, that restfains you from drunkenness
and vices that shall not be named, that
gives you sobriety and solidity OF char
acter, that enIarges your social sympa-
thiee, that naturally leads you into Or
ganitations for helping Others outa'de OF
your own circle. Bear us witness that
you are not the men and women VINO are
relied on for performing the duties of 10
ciety. If all were like you--if all were
controlled by the ideas that dominate you
If all shirkcd the duties of social and
civil life like %you-"it all were ~ much
united by their ideas and their em-
ployments rs you are for carrying the
great burdens of society, what do you
uppose would become of the country,
and what would become of tho world?
Vow, if there is anything in art that
can take the place of religion, we should
like TO see it. II there is anything in
culture that can take the place Of re-
ligion, ii has not yet revealed itself,
Culture il centered in self. Self is the
god and self is The model Of all culture,
Why should it not ultimate in selfish
ness2 Culture assumes that what IL
present in a man needs only to be de-
veloped and h~armoniz.d to lift character
to its highest point and life to its
highest issues. 1t carries NO idea of
sell. surrender, which is the arst fact in
practical religion of any valuable sort,
and the first fact in all good develop
ment. Greece and Rome had plenty of
culture, and are still our teachers in
art, but the beauty that looked upon
thetn from every hill and gate and tenn
pie could not save them from their
vices. BY and by, culture will learn
how powerless it is to make a man that
shall be worth the making, and what
poor instruments science and art are
for ~uprooting the seltishness that rules
the world. 1t is slowly learning this,
and men who have bowed low to her
have been touched with that divine dis
content which nothing but religion can
allay -Tur. ]. q. Holland.
