Learning by ROte.

THE mere committing to memory of
words and sentences, ''getting them by
heart" and not by head, proves the
more it is examined to be not even
clever parroting; for parrots often
know when to speak appropri-
ately, which is evidence of their
rational understanding of what they
say. The experience has frequently
been tried in schools, and many Of the
scholars found to know as little what
they say as the phonograph has in re-
peating what has been talked into it.
At an English school recently the chill
dren were requested to write down a
part of the catechism they had been in
the habit of repeating every day, and
they did so with the following result:
dMy duty toads God is to bleed in
him to fear-in and to loaf Withhold your
arts Withhold my mine Withhold my sold
and with my sernth to wirchip and to
give thanks TO put my old trust in him
to call upon him to onner his old name
and his world and to save him truly all
the days of my life's end. My dooty
lords my nabers to love him as thyself
to do to all men as wed thou shalt do
and to me to love onner and to bay the
queen and all that are pet in forty un-
der her to smit myself to all my govnes
teaches spiritial pastures and marsters
to oughten myself lordly and every to
all my betters to hut nobody by would
nor deed to be treu in jest in all my
deelins to beer no malls nor ated in
your arts to keep my ands from peckin
and steel my turn from evil speak and
lawing and ISLANDERS not to civet OF desar
othermans good but to learn labor trew-
ly to get my own leaving and to do my
dooty in that state of life and to each il
please God to call men,

Pug Noses RemOdeIed.

THE improvement of noses has be-
come an art, if correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer is to be believed.
" A lady of my acquaintance" the
writer says, "was given by nature a
nose that was hat-a sort of pug, with
wide nostrils. Meeting her few days
ago, did not at first recognize her.
She was immensely improved. | asked
the cause Cant you seeP' she asked.
Yes l exclaimed; tits your nose,
and it has grown out. Well, l never;
What did itP' Her nose stood out to a
proper length, and was as shapely as
could have been desired. I've got an
extensor in it,, she said; but you
mustn't tell whats an extensorP'
"A n etal lining, OF form, which l wear
in ny nose to give it a good shape. IN
show it to you when we get home She
did snow it to me. 1t was simply two
forms of silver, colored red on the inncf
surface, TO be pressed up into the nos
trils. They effectually lifted the end Of
the nose out from the face, and were not
uncomfortable or discOyerable. These
articles are further declared to be an
article Of common manufacture by fash
! ionable dentists.

Harcotism from Nutmegs.

The fact that nutmegs have strong
narcotic properties has long been
known, but they are in such common
use as a favorite condiment used in
small quantities that their dangerous
nature when taken in large quantity is
apt to be overlooked and forgotten,
even by those who are aware of their
tendency. A physician reports, in one
of our medical exchanges, a case where
a lady patient during his absence was
induced by her old woman nurse to
take nutmeg tea. One and half nut
megs were used in making the tea, and
the patient drank the whole of the
decoction, during the day. About ten
O'Clock at night she began to get
drowsv, and by four O'Clock the next
morning she was in profound stupOr.
At ten o'clock the next morning the
narcotic effects of the nutmeg began to
wear off, and by four p. m. she had pretty
well recovered. The symptoms were
about the same as those produced by
opium, and the remedies given for them
were the same.
Nutmeg in the quantity of two or
three drams has been known to pro-
duce both stupor and delirium; and
dangerous and fatal consequences are
said to have followed its free use in
India. Mace, which is the outside
covering of the nutmeg, possesses
essentially the same properties

MISTAKEN IDENTIFY G. S. Robin
son, in his new book, "Studics in the New
Testament" tells the following story: A
single incident Of the visit OF Mr.. Moody
to New York came to my knowledge at
the time. give it in subStance.as related
to me by one of the parties mentioned in
it. think it quite true. 1t seems that II
gentleman accustomed to attend the great
assemblies ut the Hippodrome had invited
one of his business associates to 90 with
him TO the meeting and hear the evangel-
ist speak. After the service was over, on
the way home. he asked him how he liked
the sermon. The answer was all he could
have wished. II believe" said the man
with his manner full of unmistakable
enthusiasm, "lhat if the regular ministers
would preach us that Moody does they
would have half the town running after
them! 1t is grand to listen to the voice Of
such representative of the people, no
matter if he is ignorant and uneducated.
But in the churches the big scholars get
up, and they are SO stiff and so starched
and so cold that there is no use going to
hear them" Surprised ut such an amount
of information concerning metropolitan
clergymen on the part OF one who, us he
supposed, rarely saw any one of them to
know him, my informant inquired calmly.
"Where do you usually attend churchp"
The reply came as he expected. 80. am
one OF the outsiders, as you call them;
have not been in pew for many year"
But then he went on to say that he respect
ed religion, and all that; he rented II sit
ting for his wife in the church i'm the
corner of - street and - place. "But
why do you never 90 with herr" persisted
his friend. Because, rs said, they are
all so prosy and stiff; if knew Il minister
in this town who could preach sermon
like that we heard just now, | would go
five miles every Sunday to listen to him?"
More amused than amazed, his companion
turned on him with quiet remark: "Well,
then, you had better try it next Sunday
for Mr. Moody was away to-day. and the
man you heard in the Hippodrome was
your wifo's pastor, Rev.Dr. b of the
church on the corner of - street ant
- place."

SPONGES.-Th universal and increasing
demand for sponges and the unremitting
drain to which all the best "lisheries" has
been subjected has lead toa partial dearth in
the supply of these useful articles but art,
which has thus threatened the extinction of
the supply, has in this, as in many sim
liar cases, stepped in to restore the balance.
1t is only within the last few years that
the real nature of the sponge has been
recognized. In its natural state it is %
disagreeable and almost repulsive looking
object, the soft, tibrous mass with which
every one is familiar being hidden beneath
and its intricacies filed up by Shiny,
gelatinous substance, which rapidly putri-
fies and adds tenfold to the generally I'M
pleasant nature of the thing. The tenac-
ity with which these things aflix them
selves to rocks and stones suggested the
idea that they were species of vegetable.
though they really belong TO the animal
kingdom. and nre allied to the aneminous
and other zoophites, with the beautiful
appearance o; many of which the public
aquaria have to make us acquainted. A
sponge is nothing more than an animated
stomach, which, though the very lowest of

so called lords of creation, or mankind.
inasmuch as it knows what is good and
what is bad for it, and rejects the latter
while inbibing only the former. The
gelatinous substance, which forms the
actual body of the sponge, being beaten and
washed out of 1.-THE tibrous skeleton is left
in the state in which it is sold in the shops,
The search for these creatures employs an
army of skilled divers, the principal spong-
ing groups being in the Greek archipelago,
and in other parts of the Mediterranean, in
the Red sea, in the Bahamas and other
parts of the West Indies and in some OF
islands of the Pacific. The colonies and
India give publicity to the fact that is
likely to diminish the dangers attending
the operations of sponging, and Mt the
same time to increase the available supply
of sponges. it appears that two German
naturalists have made the discovery that
small pieces carefully cut from live
sponges, and attached to boards or stones,
and sunk in suitable places, will grow in
u short time 10 large sponges, as though
nothing had happened. This fact is of the
utmost Importance to our sponge growing
colonies. Our contemporary suggests
that close law should be enacted in the
Bahamas and other localities where
sponges are diminishing in numbers; but
with or without such law, the possibility
of growing sponges at will and increasing
the number indefinitely, in the manner
indicated by the German naturalists, should
soon set at rest any doubts as to the falling
off in the supply OF these Invaluable arti-
