The following simple rules for pre-
serving health and promoting comfort,
If not new to some Of our readers, are
none the less important to every one.
The object of brushing the teeth is to
remove the destructive particles OF food
which, by their decomposition, generate
decay. To neutralize the acid resulting
from this chemical change is the object
of dentrifce. A stiff brush should be
used after every meal, and thread Of
silk floss or India rubber passed through
between the teeth to remove particles of
food. Rinsing the mouth in lime water
neutralizes the acid. ........ -. =.
Living and sleeping in q room in
which tie sun never enters is slow
form of suicide. A sun-bath is the most
refreshing and ife-giving bath that can
possibly loe taken. - '~a ..
Always keep the feet warm, and thus
avoid colds. To this end, never sit in
damp shoes or wear foot covering fitting
or pressing closely.
The best time to eat fruit is half an
hour before breakfast. -.-..
A full bath should not be taken less
than three hours after meal. Never
drink cold water before bathing. Do not
take cold bath when tired.
Keep box of powdered srarch on the

pinch over the hands. It will prevent

The Water Torture In japan.

The originators Of this cruel device
relied upon the torments Of thirst as
more powerful than mere corporal suf-
fering. The prisoner is for several days
confined to an extremely salt diet. with
out rice or water. When two or three
days have passed the craving for water
becomes incessant, and the sufferings of
the tortured man approach the bounds
of insanity. Efforts are then made to
obtain confession by subjecting the suf.
ferer to the agony endured by Tantalus
when in the midst of the internal lake,
whose waters he could not touch. On
all sides the thirst-distracted prisoner
beholds water-water for which he
would sacrifice everything-but which
he cannot touch except upon the condi-
tions of confession. Japan Gazette.

Legends Of the Rose.

pleasant valley, which still bears the
name of Solomon's Rose Garden, and
where, according to Mohammedan
myth, compact was made between the
Wise Man and the genii of the Morning
Land, which was writ, not in blood, Like
bond between Faust and Mephistoph-
eles, nor in gall like our modern trea-
ties, but with saffron and rose water
upon the petals of white roses. In Paris,
in the sixteenth century, an .edict was
issued requiring all jews to wear q rose
on their breast, as distinguishing
mark. In the Catholic Tyrol, in the
present day, betrothed swains are ex.
pected to carry rose during the period
of their betrothal, as q warning to young
maidens of their engaged state. Roses
have played, and still play, an import
ant part in popular usages in many
other parts of the world. In Germany
young girls deck their hair with white
roses for their confirmation, their en-
trance into the world, and when, at
the end OF LIES career, the aged grand
mother departs to her eternal rest, a
last gift, in the shape of a rose gar
land, is laid upon her bier. Julius
Cesar, it is recorded, was fain to hide
his badness at the age Of thirty with
the produce of the Roman rose gardens,
as Anacreon hid the SHOWS OF eighty
under a wreath of roses. At mid-Lent
the pope sends golden rose to particu-
Lar churches or crowned heads whom he
designs especially to honor. Martin
Luther wore rose in his girdle. In
these instances the rose serves as sym.
bol OF ecclesiastical wisdom. A rose
figured on the headsman's axe of the
Voehmgericht. Many orders, fraterni-
ties and societies have taken tho rose as
their badge. The L" Rosicrucians may
be instanced. The "Society OF the
Rose" Of Hamburg, an association OF
learned ladies of the seventeenth CEN
tury, is less known example. 1t was
divided into four sections, the Roses,
the Lilies, the Violets, and the Pinks.
The holy Medardus instituted IN

The HidoMer and the widow.

When Mr.. Thomas Thompson was
courting the widow who became his
sixth wife, said he, taking q pinch OF
snuff and looking wise, "I will tell you

Tile Gardeners Lesson.

Two gardeners had their early crops
of peas killed by the frost. One Of
them was very impatient under the loss,
and .fretted about it very much. The
other went patiently to work at once to
plant new crop. After a while, the
impatient, fretting man went to his
neighbor. To his surprise, he found
another crop of peas growing finely.
He wondered how this could be. a.
"These are what sowed while you
were fretting," said his neighbor.
But don't you ever fret 2" he asked.

The Reign OF Ice.

Reused from the chill Of frozen sleep,
The iee-king spoke with curses deep,
And bade the bitterest north wind blow
Down from the realm Of eternal snow. .- -.
Down from the home of the ice and frost,
Where silence reigns and life is lost,
The north wind came at the kings command
With speed, and hate and q cruel hand.
He furrowed the seas with frozen foam,
And Knocked the mariners dream Of home,
OF wife and child and sweet surcease
From strife and storm In port Of peace.
On slippery deck, with stin ming sail.
The seamen saw the gathering gale,
And, freezing, stood by the 10y mast,
Palsied and dead in the spell OF the blast.
Down from the realm OF the frigid sea,
Relentless, and cold, and cruel came he,
To cast his curse DER the land Of rest,
Where hearts are warm and homes are blest.
The traveller, tracking his homeless way,
Begging for bread in the storm that day,
Fell frozen and dead in the icy air,
As the mocking wind denied his prayer.
The widow shrank with shiyering dread e.
From his icy couch, in her chilly bed,
And her heart stood still in the cold embrace
OF that spectral fend with the fatal face.
His curse was fierce at the homes Of the poor
But the rich in their palaces bolted the door,
And laughed him to scorn, as he hastenet
away
To visit the wretcbei ones over the way.
The woes Of the wretched were carried back
To the bitter north on the winds wild track,
And the ioe-king, touched with the old desire
OF power supreme over heat and fire,
Prophetic spoke in the frigid blast:
1.-THE human race must end at last,
Despite their pride and their faithless prayers
Their selfish schemes and worldly cares.
I'll crush their hopes with endless death;
I'll chill their hearts, CONCEAL their breath;
I'll freeze for aye this wicked earth
From central fire to outer girth;
Their farms shall be but frozen land;
Their ships be locked in icy strand;
Their cities, filed with woe and ice,
Shall Efeless stand in ifeless ioe;
The long complaining waves shall be
Peaceful and still on the frozen sea;
The ocean, chained from shore to shore,
Shall boast his mighty strength no more.
The reign Of justice I'll renew,
And banish all the selfish crew,
Whose sin, and shame, and quick desire
Find food and life in heat and fire.
At war with life, and soorning prayer,
His curse is now in the bitter air.
The ground is clad for the grave to-day,
And, should no power the ioe-kipg stay,
A vail Of woe and wild despair
Would strike tho unrelenting air;
Yoiceless and cold, the earth would rell,
a lifeless orb. with frozen soul.
