The Christian Home.

A recent letter to the American
Board, from Rev. Thomas D. Christie,
from Hadjin, Turkey, contains the fol-
lowing graphic passage:
You, wives, mothers, daughters of
America, can scarcely be made to re-
alize the degradation of these Arme-
MAN sisters of yours. ! went the other
day, with the pastor, to call upon IL
leading family The master of the
house showed us'every attention, and
asked lis to stay and eat supper with
him. We told him that if he would
bring all his family together to eat
with us, we would stay. You must
know that no husband in this country,
unless he be Protestant, ever eats
with his wife. But our host saw the
point in our request, and, after little
good-humoled chat upon the subject,
he agreed to our proposition. The
food was brought in and set upon Il
table; the father and mother of our
host entered the room, in came his five
tine-lookiGg children, all gathered
around the table, and we were asked to
" sit up" "No,n we said, "your wife
is not here! we want to see all your
family" and we reminded HIM laugh
ingly, of his bargain.
NJ Off he went, and we heard him, in
the next room, coaxing her to come in
just to please lis. At last she complied
looking sheepish and sacred never be-
fore had that poor woman been asked
to eat with her husband. A blessing
was asked, and all began to eat, all but
three Of us. The pastor had whispered
to me that although the wife sat at the
table, she would not eat, and so it
proved. So, when we were urged to
begin, we good -naturedly replied that
we were waiting to see Lucia eat first.
Then there was more coaXing; we
stood firm, aud carried our point. But
q defeat Was coming. Presuming ON
victories already gained, we went IL
step farther. Taking UP Il piece Of
sugar, the pastor asked the wife what
it was. But, in the presence of the
motEier-in- law, the wife dared not utter
q word. We entreated, we scolded we
urged, 'hnt all in vain not one word
could we extort from Lucia. The old
motther-i,n-laW said. in q half-Warping,
att-apologetic tone: "She dare not
speak, lou are responsible for this"
sdld the earnest young pastor to the
older woman, "and it is a great SIM"
pealed to me: IS it q sin 7" "It is"
said I, ''.the Bible tells wife to obev
her husband, not her mother-in- -lawh
But 1T was of no avail, the poor wife
could not he made to open her: lips.
. We are haunted by an ideal life. and
1t IS because we have within us the
beginning and possibility of it.-[Phil-
lips BROOKS.

NEOst Wonderful OF Cnlcu-
latimg Boys.

D. When Bidder was ten years old he
answered in two minutes the following
. question What is the interest of
E4,444 for 444 days at 4 !! per cent per
annum. The answer is t2 ,434 16s, sid.
A few months later, when he was not
yet II years old, he was asked, How
long would a cistern mile cube be i'll
ling IL receiving from river 1870 gal
Ions per minute without intermisson
In two minutes he gave the correct an
swer 14,300 years 2Sj days 12 hours and
46 minutes. a year later he divided
correctly, in less than n minute, 46S ,592, =
4l3,5G3 by 9,07G. have tried how long
this takes me with pen and paper; and,
after getting an incorrect result in one
and quarter minute, when through
the sum again, with correct result,
(3l,6s9, 1888 and 1910 over), in about the
same time. At II years Of age, he an
swered in less than Il minute the ques-
. tlOn. 1t a distance of 81 inches is pass
ed over in IL second of time, how many
inches will be passed over in 3GJ days 5
hours, As minutes, 81 seconds? Much
more surprising, however, was his sue
cess, when IL years old, in dealing with
the question. What is the cube root of
S97, 1886, 1881 ,003, L53? He obtained the
answer in p minutes, viz, 964 ,537. do
not believe one arithnetician in Il thou
sand would get out this answer correct
1y at a first trial, in less than quarter
OF an hour. But | confess | have not
tried the experiment, feeling, indeed,
perfectly satisfied that should not get
the answer correctly in half i, dozen
trials. No date is given to the follow
ing case: "Thc question was put by
Sir William llerschel, at Slough, near
Windsor, to Master Bidder, and an
swered in minute: Light travels
from the sun to the earth in eight min
ltes, and the sun being 9S,00O,000 of
miles Oft, LOT course, this is quite wrong,
but 10 years ago 1t was near enough to
: the accepted value if light would take
six years and four months travelling at
the same rate from the nearest fixed
star, how far is that star from the earth,
reckoning 3G5 days and six hours to
each year, aud % days to each month ?"
The correct answer was quickly given
to this pleasing question, viz, 40, ,633, 74O,-
100000 miles. On one occasion we
learn the prOposcr OF question was
not satisfied with Bidders answer. The
boy said the answer was correct, and
requested the proposer to work his sum
over again. During the operation Bid
der said he felt certain he was right,
for he had worked the question in an
other way, and before the prop0ser
found that he was wrong and Bidder
right the boy told the company that he
had calculated the question by a third
method.

To CURE A COLD.-A bad cold, says
Halls Journal of Health, like measles
or mumps, or other ailments, will run
its course of about ten days, in spite of
what may be done for it, unless reme-
dial neaus are employed within forty
eight hours of its inception. Many a
useful life may be spared to be increas-
ingly useful, by cutting cold short off,
in the following safe and simple man
ner:s On the first day of taking a cold,
there is a very unpleasant sensation of
chilliness. The moment you observe
this, go to your room and stay there !;
keep it at such a temperature as will
entirely prevent this chilly feeling,
even it it requires hundred degrees
of Fahrenheit In addition, put your
you can bear it, adding hotter water
from time to time for u quarter of an
hour, so that the water shall be hotter
when you take your feet out than when
you put them in; then dry them tho
roughly, and put on warm thick woolen
stockings, even if it he summer, for
summer colds are the most dangerous; !;
and for twenty-f0ur hours eat not an
atom of food; but drink as largely as
you desire of any kind of warm teas,
and ut the end of that time, if not
sooner, the cold will be effectually
broken, without any medicine what
ever. Efficient as the above means are,
not one in thousand will attend to
them, led OH as men are by the hope
that a cold will pass off itself; never
tlieless this article will now and then
pass under the eye OF a wise man, who
does not choose to run the double risk
of taking physic and drying too.

formers who imagine that wheat in
this state will go above $1.00 for
No. 2, will probably be disappoint-
ed if they hold for such expectations.
With the close of lake navigation,
and the increased cost of railroad
transportation, even though wheat
should advance in Liverpool Is or
20 cents bushel, the advance will
not reach the farmer. There is a
good profit in wheat at $1.OO.-St.
