The Value Of Sunlight.

Whether your home be large or small, give
it light There is no house so likely to be
unhealthy as a dark and gloomy house. In
a dark and gloomy house, you can never see
the dirt that polutes it, Dirt accumulates
on dirt, and the mind soon learns to apollo
gize for this condition because gloom con-
ceals it, Flowers will not healthily bloom
in dark house and flowers are, as a rule,
good indces. We put the flowers in our
windows that they may see the light. Are
not our children worth many flowers They
are the choicest of flowers. Then, again,
light is necessary in order that the animal
spirits may be kept refreshed and invigor-
ated No one is truly happy who in waking
hours is in a gloomy house or room. The
gloom of the prison has ever been consid
cred as part of the punishment of the
prison. 1t is so. The mind is saddened in
a home that is not flushed with light, and
when the mind is saddened the whole physi
cal powers soon suffer the heart beats Ian
guidly, the blood flows slowly the breathing
is imperfect, the oxidation of the blood is
reduced, and the conditions are laid for the
development of many wearisome and un-
necessary constitutional failures and suffer-
ings, Once, again, light sunlight mean,
is of itself useful 10 health in direct mau-
ner. Sunlight favors nutrition sunlight
favors nervous function; sunlight sustains,
chemically or physically, the healthy state
of the blood. Children and other persons
living in darkened places become blanched
or pale; they have none of the ruddy
healthy bloom of those who live in light
Lately, by an architectural perversity which
is simply astounding, it has become a fashion
to build houses like those which were built
for our ancestors about two centuries ago,
and which are called Queen Anne houses or
mansions. Small windows, small panes,
overhanging window-brows, sharp, long roofs
enclosing attics with small windows-these
are the residences to which | refer-dull,
red, dark, and gloomy. | am told that their
excellence lies in their artistic beauty, to
which many advantages that we santarian
artists wish for must necessarily be sacri-
feed. | would be the last to oppose either
the cultivation of art in design or of art in
application, and do not for one moment
believe that such opposition is necessary.
But these beetle-browed mansions are not
so beautiful as health, and never can be. |
am bound TO protest against them on many
sanitary grounds, and on none so much as
on their interference with the work of the
sun. They produce shade, and those who
live in them live in shadow.-Good Words.

Too Much Work to Do,

Too much to do, besides its direct effect on
the busy worker, exposes him to certain in
conveniences apt to escape the notice of
others. One Of these is the effect produced
on his memory. One who leads rushing
life, who has to hurry from one thing to
another aud from one person to another
without a moments interval, cannot have a
vivid remembrance of many things that
happen in his experience. He is necessarily
liable to forget in way that another can
not understand. Many busy physician
has found himself at times in serious trouble
from this cause. He has made promise
to patient, but before the promise had
hardened in his memory, some exciting case
has hurried him away, obliterated the i'm
preston, and the promise has been forgotten.
Authors memories have been known from
similar cause to play them strange tricks.
We know an author who was engaged in
writing book amid many other absorbing
occupations. For some weeks the book had
to be laid aside. When leisure came, he re-
sumed it, as he thought, at the point where
he had broken it off, and got through con-
siderable chapter, when, to his mingled
amazement and amusement, he found in his
drawer another manuscript, almost precisely
similar, the existence of which he had quite
forgotten. So strange and incredible are
these tricks of memory, that sometimes the
most honest of men, if examined in a court
of justice, would hardly be believed. The
non mi ric0rdo would hardly be accepted by
those who have had little experience of the
difficulty of carrying in the memory i'm
pressions which have not had time to photo
graph themselves on its tablets, or have
been blurred by other impressions following

The Empty Coat.

Some months ago there came to our notice
touching story that we find ourselves inca
pable of forgetting. In the case of ship
wreck on one of the islands of the Atlantic,
mother and her little boy were washed
from the wreck and driven towards the
shore. The lad was dressed in an ulster
overcoat. The mother, in grasping for her
child, seized the belt of the coat at the back
and held fast as she was rolled and dashed
by the pillows and blinded by the spray and
break of the waves. With an undying
grasp she held to the belt till she was thrown
upon the beach in an almost lifeless condi-
ton. Her rescuers on the shore were deeply
affected by the sight, the almost dead mother
holding fast the little coat by the belt.
When at last she could open her eyes to see
what was around her, how keen was her
anguish to discover that she held only the
coat. Her boy was gone. The waves had
torn him out of the little coat and made
him their prey. Then there was an agony
of soul such as only mother can know, and
no eyes were dry around her. That moth
er's aim, effort and final agony, suggest to
us what we only too often find in other re-
lations and experiences of human life. How
many love this world aud, in their idol
atrous passion, grasp its garments and hold
fast with all the energy of their natures
and amid all perils, until their eyes are
opened at last to find that their idol has
passed from their reach, leaving only the
empty coat to remind them of their vain
struggle and to stir their souls to unavail-
ing agony. The grasping after wealth, after
honor, after name, after renown, after
pleasure, is only clutching upon the belt of
what proves finally to be an empty coat.
How often the last hours of human life are
filled with experiences like these of the
agonized mother; labor lost, aims deceived,
hopes disappointed, the future darkened,
the heart wrung with anguish. On the
shore of the world, what an unrecorded
number of empty coats, left to testify of too
of hold upon merely the belts of the gar
ments of objects. The mothers grasp was
not upon her boy, but merely upon his raj
ment. Ours is too seldom on realities and
too often upon resemblances and outward
things. In sober truth, the world and all it
contains will soon be washed from our grasp
by the pillows of time, leaving us utterly
alone and miserable, if we have no hold
upon things beyond. In the final wreck of
all things here below-an event sure to
come to us all-what shall we have? We
can carry nothing of this world in our hands.
Shall we then have a grasp upon what is
living and enduring? Shall we have the
pledge of life and Joy forever in our hands,
or shall we have only an empty coat
man by times fierce pillows tossed,
Not on the transient, outward dote,
Lest in the end they all be lost
And thou have but an empty coat.

Food for Men and RaheS.

Dat meal and milk form most nutri-
tious article of diet, and if American chill
dren were brought up on such food, rather
than on nicknacks, candies, pickles, pastry,
cake and the thousand denominations of the
frying pan, we would have a nobler race,
and the type of American manhood would
be improved in all that goes to make up
strong, healthy and long-lived people. We
are careful to feed our young horses oats
and grass, and not allow them to have corn,
as it is too heating, but how many farmers
and their wives think of the effect of the
vile compounds of fine -four and fat sweets
and acids, spices and condiments innumer-
able upon their children. Science and ex-
perience tell us that the whitest -four is not
the most wholesome or nutritious. 1t is
fashionable and looks nice, and very poor
people cannot afford to eat the whitest flour.
Therefore it is degrading the children and
family to the level of the horse and of the
poorer classes, to feed them on oat meal
and cracked wheat. Perhaps the Almighty
might have compounded more complete
article for human food than the grain of
wheat or oats, but he has not done it yet
nor has the ingenuity of the cook yet con-
cocted anything which so completely meets
the wants of the human system. The nj
trates, or muscle makers the carbonates,
fat producers the phosphates, or food for
brains and nerves, are happily combined in
the wheat grain to meet the wants of man.
Give yourselves and your children oat meal
and milk every day, and you will be more
vigorous than you are at present.-Selecfed.

A Present Saviour.

The feelings of many toward the Lord
Jesus are vague and confortless because
they rank as distant Saviour-a Saviour
far away. The Lord Jesus is omnipresent
He is not far away from any of us. His
flame-bright eye follows the Sunday-breaker
through the fields, and is on the drunkard
as he reels into the tavern. 1t reads the
thought of the liar as he forgets his false.
hood, and looks through and through that
heart which is full of its corrupt imaginings.
1t notices the worldly professor at the com
munion table, and sees the unbeliever tum-
bling, night after night, into his prayerless
bed. But, though the Lord Jesus be every
where present, he is present with his own
people in peculiar relation. He is with
them as q Saviour, Shepherd, a Friend.
His living presence fills immensity but his
gracious and reconciled presence-his low
ing and interested presence-his Saviour
presence-is exclusively for his own. So
constantly is the Lord Jesus present with
his people that, in order to get the full bless
ing of it, they have only to remember the
fact. From the moment that man be-
comes a disciple of Christ, e" Lo, am with
you always" becomes a promise to that man
"a promise, the performance of which is
never for moment suspended by the Savi-
our, but the existence of which is often for

membered, it is every moment true; aud to
enjoy the full blessedness of this assurance,
you have only to remember and realize it
Sometimes, without any effort on your part,
the conviction will dawn gently or flash
brightly on the mind, and you will know
for moment that Jesus is with you. But

glance from heaven, with sweet effect,
Sometimes my pensive spirit cheers
But, ere can my thoughts collect
As suddenly it disappears.
So lightning in the gloom of night
Affords a momentary day
Disclosing objects full in sight
Which, soon as seen, are snatched away.
The lightning flash did not create
The opening prospect it revealed,
But only showed the real state
OF what the darkness had concealed
The lightning bursts, these momentary
CLEANS, are just the hints of truth which the
Holy Spirit darts into the mind from time
to time, revealing matters as they really are
But we ought to recollect that even during
the dark the solid landscape has not van
ished, but is only hid. And even so, when
Christs sensible presence is withdrawn, we
should remember that he is near as ever

How to Treat brothers.

Girls, be kind to your brothers. Don't be
afraid you will spoil them by showing them
plenty of sisterly attention. They are tire
some chaps sometimes, consequential and
overbearing, treating their sisters like in
ferior beings. But never mind that, girls ;
carry with you the two bears-bear and for
bear. The consequential age generally passes
off with the growth of the incipient nous
tache, and when real manhood dawns upon
them they will realize how gentle and kind
their sisters have been. Make home pleas
ant to them let them see and feel you en-
JOY their company sometimes equally as well
as that OF some other girls brother. If you
sing or play on the piano, do your best for
brother Will or Bob, or whatever his name
may be, and reward him with smile when
he turns over your music or gives up his
seat to you, just as you would any other
gentleman. Lay aside your work or book to
have pleasant chat or innocent game with
your brother; draw out of him with whom
and where he spends his evenings outside of
the family circle. Encourage him to speak of
his associates. A sister often has more infu-
ence with brother than parent has. If he
can confde in his sister regarding his friends
and amusements you need have no fear of
how he spends his time away from you.
Let him see that you take an interest in his
studies or his business. When he asks you
to sew on button or mend his glove, don't
put on an aggrieved air. do it cheerfully,
willingly. He will reward you in his secret
heart with wealth of brotherly love, though
he may not show it, for some think it un-
manly to display affection. Treat his friends
with politeness, even if they are not your
style. Throw all the safeguards you pos.
sibly can around your young brothers, by
sisterly kindness and forbearance. Try to
make home the happiest and dearest place
on earth.-C Christian at Work.
