The sunday Sch 1ot Teachers InRuene,
During the Week.

The sunday -Sch1ot Teachers Influence
During the Week
When Sunday>school teachers appre-
ciate the fact that little ears and eyes are
AZ wide open during the other days of
the week as upon Sunday, and that the
lie teachings are really as potential as
the class instruction, then will we begin
to reach our ideal in Sundsy-school
work. The model teacher continues his
work seven days of the week. He does not
feel that with the teaching of purity, char
ity, truthfulness, and the like, his mission
ends; but he expects his pupils to look
to his daily life and personal habits for an
pliication of the principles taught.
Think you a lesson of temperance could
be impressed upon an intelligent boy
who had seen his teacher emerge from a
beer saloon with cigar in his mouth,
on the previous day :? How would the
thoughtful girl judge of the instructress
who urged benevolence, but who wore
into the mission box? None are quick
er than children to notice the incon-
sistencies of those who are showing them
the way of life. The scholars must re-
spect before they will be Influenced.
A young man about to be ordained for
the ministry acknowledged that at one
time he was nearly an in6del. But,
said he, there was one argument in
favor of Christianity which l could never
refute-the consistent conduct of my
fsther" On the other hand, professed
Christian, at home. went into theatre
when in a distant city. Years afterwsrd
he was sent for to visit dying msn,
who charged him with the ruin of his
soul. He had seen his Sunday school
superintendent go to the play house
had followed him been fascinated be-
come hardened, and now lay dying,
hopeless.
Even the personal habits, such as neat
ness of dress, use of slang, etc, are
quickly noticed. The great aim of the
Sundsy-school is the formation Of charac-
ter and some one has we'll said, "By
the influence of early impressions, the
force of example, and the power OF habit,
the character becomes slowly and inn
perceptibly, but at length decidedly,
formed. - Sunday School Magazine.

PRACTICAL SCIENCE.

Wire ropes newly tarred or creased
have about 40 per cent. less rigidity
than untarred rope.
The gradual mode of seasoning is the
most favorable to the strength and dur
ability of tim Der.
When the fbres of materials cross
each other, friction is less than when
they run in the same direction.
Under the pressure of the atmosphere
alone the temperature of water cannot
be raised above the boiling point.
In high speed betting the tension, or
the breadth of the belt, should be in
creased in order to keep the belt from
slipping. Long belts are more effective
thsn short ones.
Timber freshly cut contains about 81
to 4S per cent. of liquids. By exposure
to the air in seasoning one year it loses
from II to 25 per cent. and when sea-
soned it yet retains from 10 to Is per
cent
A good waterproof cement ID made by
dissolving FIVE parts of gelatine in hot
water, and adding one part of chromate
OF lime the cement must be kept in
vessels which are well shielded from
light.
Charring or pointing timber is highly
injurious to any but seasoned lots, ss il
edsctuslly prevents the drying of the
inner part of the wood, in consequence
of which fermentation and decay soon
take place.

A Corkscrew Wanted.
Peck,s Sur


There is always some one on the train
to make people feel happy. For in
stance, there was gentleman who had
bottle of homemade wine, and he
couldn't get the cork out. We have
never seen a man in distress but there
were noble souls that would sacrifice
themselves to assist him. One offered q
knife, and after the blade had been
broken and left in the cork, he subsidized.
The conductor was applied 10, but he
only asked what they took him for, and
looked offended. 1t was noticed that
there was bad crowd in the rear car,
and so boy who desired to be messen-
ger, was given a little practice. He was
told to go into the back car and find
Senator Hide, and borrow his corkscrew.
Senator Hide is Methodist deacon, and
he YVES seated by the ride of good

The Man who Had Dyspepsia.

Adrian Times
There came to the dinner>table at the
Lawrence house, the other day, two
strangers, one lean and huugry-looking
one, the other decent-appearing young
fellow. As they reached the table the
older man clutched frIntically at the
hill of fare, and remarked as follows:
Let's see what they got. You know
can't eat every thing. Been nearly dead
for ten weeks with dyspepsis. All,
oyster SOUP guess that won't hurt
me-" To waiter" Bring me some
oyster soup, and, let's see, boiled white
fish, yes, I'll have some O. that"
The soup and the fish were rapidly
eaten.
Now, let's see, what else they've got,
you know / can't eat everything.
Roast turkey that ought not to hurt
me. I'll have some O that. Roast beef
yes, I'll have some O. that. Chicken
pot-pie,' yes, that's easily digested, I'll
have some. Let's see, can't eat every
thing, I'll take bit of the boiled ham,
some macaroni, and ah, some chicken
livers. and vegetables"
The waiter had been taking the order
and the man with the weak stomach
reached this way for crackers, that way
for butter, here took piece of bread,
there pickle, and stalk of celery, and
frequently remarking that he couldn't
eat everything, stayed his stomach until
his dinner was brought. Ee looked it
over, sent the waiter back for some roast
veal, and another onion, remarking that
his stomach was weak, he had been suf-
fering terribly from dyspepsia, and
couldn't eat everything, but at last got
TO work and cleared the dishes.
The matter of dessert troubled him
some because his stomach was so weak.
but he finally ordered mince pie, plum
pudding and ice cream, with a cup of
coffee.
They were brought and ievoured, and
then he called the waiter, and made her
confidential communication to the
effect that he had been sick with the
dyspepsia, that his stomach was weak,
he couldn't eat everything, and would
she bring him bowl of milk?
The milk was brought, he crumbled
some bread therein, aud as his younger
companion had departed, the man with
the weak stomach remarked to the gem
tleman across the table from him that it
was darned rough TO have to come down
to bread and milk, but he bad been sick,
he couldn't eat everything, and had to
be careful.
And now the landlord is anxious for
that man to come sround when be is
we'll. He needn't come but once.
