MEDICAL USES OF EGGS.

For burns or scalds nothing is more
soothing than the white of an egg, which
may be poured over the wound. 1t is
softer as varnish for a burn than COLO
dion. and, being always at hand, can be
applied Immediately. 1t is also more
cooling than the ''sweet oil and cotton,
which was formerly supposed to be the
surest application to allay the smarting
pain. 1t is the contact with the air that
gives the extreme discomfort experienced
from ordinary accidents of this kind, and
anything which excludes air and prevents
inflammation is the thing to be at once
applied. The egg is also considered one
of the best remedies for dysentery. Beat
ing up slightly with or without sugar
and swallowed, it tends by its emollient
qualities to lessen the inflammation of
the stomach and intestiues. and by form
ing transient coating on those organs
to enable Nature to resume her healthful
sway over the diseased body. Two, or
at most three eggs per day. would be all
that is required in ordinary cases; and
since the egg is not merely medicine.
but food as we'll, the lighter the diet
otherwise and the quieter the patient is
kept, the more certain and rapid is the
RECOVERY. .-

STONE CoFFINs.-A European firm
has been experimenting with air and
water-tight coffins, and has lately over
come some of the difficulties involved by
combination of thin wood and stone
composition. The composition is formed
of three parts Portland cement and one
part finely washed quartz sand. For
the sake of adhesion the inner surface
of the wooden coffin (Which encases the
other) is left rough, as the wood comes
from the saw. The top of the stone
coffin is arched, in order to give it great
er resistance to outer pressure, and the
wood is shaped to correspond. The
thickness of the wood is only 2 to 3
ctm.; that of the composition IL to l.5
ctm. The weight of such compound
coffin is not greater than that of the
common oak coffins. The closure is
perfectly tight, SO that the bodies OF
persons who have died of infectious
disease may be safely kept in them in
the house till burial. When the wood
has decayed away in the ground, the
stone coffin remains, uncompressed.

WHAT WAS HIS CREED {?

He left load of anthracite
In front of poor widows door,
When the deep snow, frozen and white,
Wrapped street and square, mountain and moor
That was his deed;
He did it well.
"What was his creed ?"
Blest "in his basket and his store"
In sitting down and rising up.
When more he got, he gave the more.
Withholding not the crust and cup.
He took the lead
In each good task.
"What was his creed?'
did not ask.
His charity was like the snow,
Soft, white and silken in its fall;
Not like the noisy winds that blow
From shverng trees the leaves pail.
For flower and weed
Dropping below.
''What was his creed?"
The poor may know.
He had great faith in loves of bread
For hungry people young and old;
And hope inspiring words he said
To him he sheltered from the cold.
For man must feed
AS well as pray.
"What was his creed?"
cannot say.
In words he did not put his trust;
In faith his words were never writ;
He loved to share his cup and crust
With any one who needed it.
In time of need
A friend was he
"What was his creed ?"
He told not me.
He put his trust in Heaven, and worked,
Ever along with hand and head;
And what he gave in charity
Sweetened his sleep and daily bread.
Let us take heed,
For life is briefI
Adopt his creed
And give relief.

CHILDREN'S JOY.

The children's world is full of sweet surprise;
Our common things are precious in their sight;
For them the stars shine. and the morning rises
To show new treasures of untold delight
dance of fbluebells in the shady places;
A crimson flush of sunset in the West:
The cobwebs, delicate as fairy laces;
The sudden finding of woodbirds nest
Their hearts and lips are full of simple praises
To him who made the earth divInely sweet;
They dwell among the buttercups and daises,
And find His blessings strewn about their feet.
But we. worn out by DAYS of toll and sorrow,
And sick Of pleasures that are false and vain
Would freely give our golden boards to borrow
One little hour of childhood's bliss again.
Yet He who sees their joy, beholds our sadness;
And in the wisdom of a Fathers love
He keeps the secret of the heavenly gladness;
Our sweet surprises wait for us above

Happy is he who has learned not to
seek what is pleasant nor to shrink from
what is painful, but to 60 on doing
everything that he knows to be good
and kind and right, in utter disregard
of self. How man might ennoble and
invigorate his life if he would work this
principle into every grain of his mind
and strenuously act upon it. invariably
striving not after what would be pleas
antest, but what would be best! In
fact, it is the very essence of all that is
good and great in human life; and not
only that-it is the true road to happi-

"TO OBLIGE FATHER"

Justice alley, Detroit. had hardly
opened to legal business when a sleigh
containing seven or eight persons from
beyond the city limits drove up to the
door of popular Justice and piled out
with an air of business. His Honor
was poking up the fire when an old
man beckoned him into corner aud
whispered:

|Gentlemen-For ten years previous to the

ferer from scrofulouS ulcers or SOreS which
had finally reduced me to helpless condi-
tion, as described in my letter to you in Sep
Itember of that year. The continued excel
lent health which enables me to keep house
Tor my aged father and to enjoy life, keeps
alivemy intense personal interest IN HOOPS
and cannot refrain from ex-
pressing my gratitude for the permanent
cure this wonderful medicine effected in my
case nearly two years ago, while living in
Lowell, when all my physicians gave me up
as being in an incurable condition. One
thing before l close. l have recommended
your Sarsaparilla to hundreds, and think
more than thousand cases, and my faith in
its invincibility in curing ScrOfula has be-
come absolute by the wonderful cures it has
effected aside from my own. trust you
will not be slow in making the merits of
HOODS SARsAPARILLA known everywhere,
for 1t is duty you owe to mankind. With
best wishes l remain very truly yours,
