How FAR THE EAGLE SCREAMS.
people are aware that the proud boast of
Englishmen that the sun never sets on the
British empire, is equally applicable to the
United States. Instead of being the western
limit of the Union, San Francisco is only
about midway between the furthest Aleutian
Isle, acquired by our purchase of Alaska, and
Easport, Me. Our territory extends through
1877 degrees of longitude, or II degrees more
than half way round the globe. The Rocky
Mountain Presbyterian, in commenting on
this fact, says: "When the sun is giving
its goodnight kiss to our westermost isle, on
the confines of Behring's Sea, it is already
flooding the fields and forests Of Maine with
its morning light, and in the eastern part of
that State is more than an hour high. At
the very moment when the Aleutian fisher;
man, warned by the approaching shades of
night is pulling his canoe towards the shore,
the wood.chopper of Maine is beginning to
make the forest echo with the stirring music
of his axe."-Philadelphia Record.

TALKING AT TABLE.-Talking at table is
one of the very best digesters there is no
tonic known to equal it, if it is of the kind
calculated to promote hilarity and good feeling
generally. Most parents are prone to prohibit
their children from laughing and talking at
the table; it is unphysiological; it is cruelty.
Joyousness promotes the circulation OF the
blood, enlivens it, invigorates it, sends it ting
ling to the remotest part of the system, carry
ing with it animation, vigor and life. The
louder the little ones laugh the better; the
faster they talk the better, for then they eat
less in given time, consequently chew their
food more thoroughly. Discard controversy
from the dining table. Discourage all subjects
which invite political or religious rancor. Let
every topic introduced be calculated to instruct,
to interest. or to amuse. Do not let the mind
run on business, or previous mishaps, or past
disappointments. Never tell bad news at the
table, nor for an hour before. Let everything
YOU have to communicate be, if possible, of a
gladstone, joyous, hilarious character, calcula-
ted to bring out pleasanter remarks OF more
agreeable associations. On the other hand,
never administer reprO0f at the social board
to either servant or child find fault with
nothing; speak unkindly to no one. If re-
marks are made of the absent, let them con-
tain some words Of cOmmendatiOn, which, II
repeated in their hearing afterward, will kindle
kindly feelings, and thus will thoughts Of the
family table come across the memory in after
years, when we have been scattered, and some
laid in their last resting place, bringing with
them sweetness of emotion which makes 1t
pleasure to dwell upon them.

WHAT IS IT?-Recently farmers horse
and wagon were hitched on Congress street,
and after the man had gone into the store an
individual, who must know something about
human curiosity, walked slowly down to the
wagon and carefully examined hind wheel.
In ten seconds he was joined by two boys. In
a minute there was a crowd of six. The man
looked at the wheel from one side and then
the other, and the increasing crowd did the
same. In three minutes there were twenty
people around the wagon. Some looked over
into the box and some at the wheels, but no
one said anything. The first man mentioned
seized the wheel and shook it, and then meas
ured one of the spokes with pocket rule.
When he had finished, the crowd numbered
forty. No one could say what had happened
or was about to happen, and the mystery was
fast becoming intense when corpulent citi-
zen bore down on the crowd and cried out:
"Whats the matter here-any one hurt"
"No, sir" was the quiet reply of the man
with the pocket rule.
"What is it then?"
81 was looking at this hind Wheel"
whats the matter with the Wheel" ask
ed the fat man, as he seized and shook it.
Nothing"
The fat man scowled, clenched his hand,
looked up and down, and then slid, and in
thirty seconds no one was left around the
wagon but small boy who was trying to
hook an old umbrella.

TAKING CoLD.-How shall person who is
sensitive to cold, who takes cold whenever a
door is opened or window raised-how shall
such a person acquire that hardihood which
will enable him to endure exposure and avoid
taking cold? In the first place, he should spend
a considerable portion of each day out of doors.
He should do this at all seasons of the year and
in all kinds of weather. Secondly, lie should
watch with the greatest care the temperature
of the room in which he spends the remainder
of his time-both the living room and dormi-
tory. Thirdly, he should each day bathe his
chest and neck, and, if he can bear it, his
whole body in cold water, and follow tins With
vigorous rubbing with coarse towel. what
is called the splash-bath is, perhaps better than
any other for this purpose. 1t consists SIMPLY
in dashing water against the body with the
hand. This causes slight shock to the SKIN,
which brings the blood to the surface; While
it causes an involuntary, deep inspiration OF
air, which expands the lungs and increases the
force of the circulation. This can be accom-
plshed in a few minutes, and should be fol-
lowed by little brisk exercise in cold room
or in the open air. Of course, person unac,
customed to this should not commence IN cold
weather but beginning in the summer, ne VIII
find, as the winter approaches, that his ability
to endure the bath will increase with the falling
of the thermometer, and that his susceptibility
to changes of temperature will be greatly dl-
minished.

OuppcI, w lollOHo
the unworthily receiving of it, he admonshes
us in the 2Sth verse to examine ourselves be
fore we eat and drink The 18th verse as
signs the reason for self lfexamination. If we
eat without determination, making no dis
elimination between the Lords Supper and
an ordinary feast, then we eat and drink
damnation to ourselves.
Now, damnation, in this instance, cannot
mean that we cut ourselves off from all hope
and seal our everlasting ruin. This is mani
fest from the fact that the import Of the word
damnation is fixed in the next verse, by spec
flying what things it comprehends. They are
weakness, sickness and death. 1t is great
sin .to eat and drink the emblems of the
broken body and shed blood of Jesus Christ
unworthily but it is not an objectionable sin.
1t will, no doubt, relieve the minds of some
to inform them that the word which is trans
lated damnation, more properly means judg-
ment. The judgments which follow unwor-
thily celebrating the Lords Supper, are stated
to be bodily calamities, such as weakness,
sickness and sleep, which in this passage most
probably means death. None are permitted
to treat, with even neglect, the Lords Supper;
much less are any permitted to insult Jesus
Christ by treating unworthly that ordinance
which is designed to be a public proclama-
ton of the victory which he won on the cross.
Still, multitudes have eat and drunk unwor-
thily and were pardoned. Whoever has no
better reason for keeping out of the church
than the fear that by unworthily eating and
drinking the bread and wine which represent
the body and blood Of Jesus Christ, he will
cut himself off forever from Gods pardoning
mercy, is simply wrongly interpreting the
Scriptures. 1t is admitted that it is a sin to
eat and drink unworthily, but the Church of
God has great reason to be thankful that it
is not the sin against the Holy Ghost which
will never be forgiven. Were that the case,
there would be none saved.

Wabash

LAFAYETTE, IND, July 10.-The
hard rains of Monday, yesterday and
last night have swollen the Wabash
until it is out of its banks, and the
water is still rising. Thousands of
shocks of wheat have been washed
down the river, and the loss from
this alone is considerable. The log
RATS of Alternately & Carnahan were
swept away, entailing a loss of Sl0,-
600. They walnut mostly, and
there were nearly 500 logs. The
Tippecanoe river, tributary to the
Wabash, has become q rushing food,
and the crops upon its bottoms are
destroyed. This sudden rise is un-
precedented. The great fresbets of
June, 1858, and August, 1875, were
not so sudden in rising as this. 1t is
estimated that the entire crops of the
Wabash are swept away, and a loss
of great magnitude is the result.
