The Bible is a book Of Women. t
Is tho only book which has come down
from the misty ages Of antiquity that
presents us viii women as the equal for
men. From Eve, the mother of all fv-
ing, to Mary, the mother of Jesus, wo-
men always occupied conspicuous place
in the grand drama of the worlds histo-
~. Here sne is seen as the wife and
mother, filling her mission, with shrink
ing modestY and gentle frmness. Mir
lam and Deborah, Rebecca and Ruth,
Sarah and Esther, shine forth in charac-
tiers at once original unique, consistent
and feminine.
On the still brighter canvass, and still
brighter colors are drawn the charac-
tiers of the MaFthas, Marys and Lydias
of the New Testament. Here they are :
they ought to be, and here they viii 7,
main forever. Not forward, not depar
ing from her sphere, not immodest, nC
mas"r,lne. They shine not ike the sun,
but AILh a radiance as mild and gentle
as tils light Of the evening star.

Chinese nenfistrr.

It is well known that the Chinese
attribute toothache to the gnawing of
worms, and that their dentists profess to
take these worms from decayed teeth.
But how they performed this trick, and
50 artfullv concealed it in the hurry
Of daily business, was a secret only re-
gently solved BY a European inquirer.
After some difficulty and delicate nego-
tiation, an Notwithstanding native
practitioner was induced to hand over
the implements of trade, together with a
number of the worms, and to give in
structions in the method of procedure.
When a patient with toothache applies
for relief, if the tooth is solidly fixed in
the socket, the gum is separated from it
with a sharp instrument and made to
bleed. During this operation the cheek
is held on one side by a bamboo spatula,
both ends of which are alike, and on
the end held in the hand some minute
worms are concealed under thin paper
pasted to the spatula. When all is ready,
this is adroitly turned and inserted in
the mouth, and the paper becoming
moistened is very easily torn with the
sharp instrument used for cutting the
gums the worms mix with the saliva,
anu llO Q6Alllets VI C00Ib6 PICKS buGlu Oub
with a pair of forceps. The patient
having ocular demonstration that the
cause of the disease has been removed,
has good reason to expect relief, which
IN many cases would naturally follow
the bleeding Of the gum. When the
pain returns the same operation is per
formed over again, and fresh supply
Of worms fully accounts for the recurring
trouble. These worms are manufactured
In quantities to suit the trade, and they
are very cleveTlV done; still. to carry
out the delusion fully, the dentists are
obliged to keep on hand a few live
worms to show their patients, explaining
that most of those taken from the tooth
are killed either by powder which is
often applied, or the process of remov-
ing them with the forceps. The practice
just described, it may be added, is re-
sorted to when the tooth is firmly set
IN the Jaw.

You can secure the endeaYor, the
