MRS WINsLow's SOOTHING SYRuP.---Rev.
Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the Boston
Christian Freemen: We would by no
means recommend any kind OF medicine
which we did not know to be good--par-
ticularly for infants. But of Mrs. Wins
lows soothing syrup we can speak from
knowledge; in our own family it has pro-
ven blessing indeed, by giving an infant
troubled with collie pains, quiet rest, and
parents unbroken rest at night. Most pa
rents can appreciate these blessings. Here
is an article which works to perfection, and
which is harmless; for the sleep which it
affords the infant is perfectly natural; and
the little cherub awskes as "bright as q
button" And during the process OF teeth
ing its value is incalculable. We have fire.

TIE conference of Charities and Correc-
tions, recently held at Case hall, in the
beautiful city of Cleveland, was notable
gathering of philanthropic men and
women from all parts Of the country, who
met in the interests of reform and charity,
to discuss measures of the greatest import
ance to the welfare Of society. Insane
asylums, prisons, reform schools, and other
like institutions were represented by men
and women Of large experience, earnest
thought and unselfsh devotion to the
classes under their charge. The papers
and spirited discussing upon the various sys-
TENS and methods of reformatory work and
penal discipline, and the care of the insane,
occupied the time of the conference for
three days, and the meeting proved to be q
conference in the highest sense
of the word. The amelioration
of the condition of our weakest and most
dangerous classes. The insane, the indi-
gent, and criminals, is subject well worthy
of the best thought, and most earnest effort
of the age. The next conference will be
held in Boston, in July 1881.

SOME quiet earnest looking women seem
to be, indeed, IN their right place, as they
sit listening to the deliberations Of the reg
ular meeting Of the Philadelphia Board OF
Education. They neither possess nor de-
mand any right Of inquiry or of criticism,
but as the mothers of children whose schol-
astic career is to be controlled by the legis-
lation of the board, they are anxious to
know what is done, and by what means ii
is accomplished. The silent presence OF
these women brings every action to the
test of their opinion and practical expert
ence, must inevitably exert potent though
unexpressed fuence.--Progress.

A family while at the breakfast table
one morning pledged to observe the
strictest veracity for that day. A mem
ber OF the family tells the "conse
quences."
AS first fruit of the resolve, we asked
the one who suggested it:
"What made you so late at breakfast
this morningP"
"She hesitated, began with, Bee use
! couldn't" and then, true to her com.
pact, said: 1.-THE truth is, | was lazy
and didn't hurry, or l might have bee
down long ago."
Presently one of them remarked that
she had been very cold, adding: ~
never was so cold in my life."
An inquiring look caused the last
speaker TO modify this statement in.
stantly with: ooh, l don't think it was
so cold, after all"
A third remark to the effect that
"Miss So-and-So was the homelicst girl
in the city," was recalled as soon as
made, the speaker being compelled tc
own that Miss So.and-So was only
rather plain, instead of being exces.
sively homely.
So it went on throughout the day,
causing much merriment, which was
good-naturedly accepted by the sub
jects, and giving rise TO constant cor
rections in the interest of truth.

Eaistalloa tlyares.

Up TO 1920 no statistics of elnigratioh
into this country were kept officially,
but the numbers were trivial, only 1886
foreign emigrantS being fepbttea for
that year. In 1880 the number was 23,.
300; in 1910, 81 00O; 1912, l04, 800; 1850,
Se9 900; lsb4, AL SEQ. That was the
maximum number for nearly twenty
years. In 1855 aud 1858 the number
was but about 200 OOO each; it rose to
2jl O00 in 1857; was 1853 Gao in 1869; in
1871 and 1862, for The obvions reason that
our war was deterrent, fell to OIL 900
the labor demand so far overcame this
that the number arose TO l76 0O0 in 1868,
l93,40O in 1854, and $4,000 in 1865.
From 1865 10 1873 during the term of
postwar paper prosperity, when labor
was immensely In demand, emigration
was heavy, reaching the highest figure
in 1873 4j9 500 II fell to $4,000 in
1874, 227,0O0 in 1875, 10000 in 1915,
l42 900 in 1877, 1873 600 in 1873, but rose
to l1S,0e0 in 1870, and was, of course,
very much increased in 1880. England
and Ireland (aking 1873 as stand
ard) sent about one-third, $4,000
out of 100000; it may surprise most
readers, however, TO know that those
two countries send hi out an equal num-
ber, and that III 1872, 1875 and 1853,
England sent more than Ireland. Thus,
for 1879, 24,OOO emigrants were Of
English nationality, and 10000 were
Irish. Scotland contributed 1900 in
1873. Germany sends nearly as many
as England and Ireland combined
100000 in 1873, against $4,000, ana
34,0OG in 1879, against $4,000. Among
the other European countries, Sweden
stands next; then Norway; then France,
Italy and Austria. Not China a'o1e,
but all Asia, overwhelms us with sLvh
hordes as 10000 in 1873, and $500 in
1879 In the twenty-three yeaIs, 955.
n, almost 100000 Cinnamon came in,
of whom not more than one-haif have
since gone back. 1t would be interest
ing if the outward as well as the in
ward movement were recorded. In
1876, according to British statistics.
54,554 persons went from the United
Kingdom to this country, and 54,6g7
went thither from this country; to Can,
ada, 9,3S5, and 6,229 from Canada;
to Australia, 80, 1856, and 9,579 from
Australia; total emigration, los, ,469, and
II, ,4O4 total immigration. The total |
movement of irish from May, 1851, to
the end of 1876, according to these re-
ports was 2,4l5,OOO leaving Ireland |
direct, of whom nineteen-twentieths
came to this counuy; 81 per cent of the
whole number leaving the United King.
dom from 1853 to 1876 also came here.
1t is perhaps hopeful symp tom that
the human tide which will for yet many
years set to these Western shores con-
tains larger proportion of skilled or
half-skilled laborers, and smaller pro.
portion OF the least desirable class than
used to be the case.

Why We Eat Oysters Raw.

Doctor William Roberts, in his inter-
esting lectures on the digestive ferments.
writes: Our practice in regard to tho
oyster is quite exceptional, and fur
nishes striking example of the general
correctness of the popular jud yment on
dietetic questions. The oyster is almos,
the only animal substance which we
eat habitually, and by preference, in tho
raw or uncooked state; and it is inter-
esting to know that there is a sound
physiological reason at the bottom Of
this preference. The fawn- colored
mass which constitutes the dainty oi
the oyster is its liver, and this is little
less than heap of glycogen. Associated
with the glycogen, but withheld from
actual contact with it during life, is Its
appropriate digestive ferment-the
hepatic disease. The mere crushing OF
the dainty between the teeth brings
these two bodies together, and the
glycogen is at once digested without
other help by its own diastase. The
oyster in the uncooked state, or merely
warmed, is, in fact, self digestive. But
the advantage of this provision 10
wholly lost by cooking; for the heat en-
ployed Immediately destroys the associ-
ated ferment, and cooked oyster has
to be digested, like any other food, by
the eaters own di estive powers

Words of Wisdom.

1t is right to be contenied with what
we have, never with what we are.
He that pryeth into every cloud may
be stricken with a thunderbolt.
No books are 80 legible as the lives of
men, no characters so plain as their
moral conduct.
Vice alters the countenance of man,
and quickly destroys the beauty of
women.
Events are not in our power, but it
always is to make a good use of even the

Old ideas are prejudices, and new
ones caprices.
Few people know how to be old.
The language of the heart has no need
of words to be understood. It writes

To destroy the idea of immortality of
the soul is to add depth to death.
Love, like the smallpox, is most dan

Of all the ruins in the world, the
ruin of man is, most assuredly, the sad
