HEALTHFULNEss OF MIK.-lf any one
wishes to grow feshy. pint Of milk taken
on retiring at night will soon cover the
scrawniest bones. Although We see good
many feshy persons nowadays, there are
great many lean ones, who sigh for the fash
ionable measure of plumpness, and who v ould
be vastly improved in health and appearance
could their figures be rounded with good
solid flesh. Nothing is so coveted by thin
woman as full figure, and nothing will SO
rise the ire and provoke the scandal Of the
'clipper-build" as the consciousness Of
plumpness in rival. In case Of fever and
summer complaint, milk is now given with
excellent results. The idea that milk is
feverish has exploded and it is now the phys
ician's great reliance in bringing through
typhoid patients, or those iii too low state
TO be nourished BY solid food. 1t is mis-
take to scrimp the milk pitcher. Take more
milk and buy less meat. Look to your milk
man; have large-sized, well-flled milk
pitchers on the table each meal, and you
will have sound flesh and save doctors bills.

FoR A TINE or Wholesome one sensi-
bly, suggests that every house should hold a
trunk of half-wom clothing, sheets and pill
low-cases in readiness for sickness. For
this purpose a double-gowp, made of two
calico dresses, might prove seryioeable as
well as some soft handkerchiefs, bandages
and lint; also, plenty of linen, cotton and
wooden pieces. While overlooking the var
lous receptacles of such articles, it would be
well to remember this timely hint and COL
ect them against a time of need. In case

The ray stealing in through the lattice to waken the

The ptess horror of light In the sun-snitten reach

The despair Of the wilderness tangle, and treacher-
GUS thicket of forest.

The hurricane crashing its way through the homes

The pay Of the jetlets of fame when the children
laugh out ON the hearth-stone;
The town or the prairie consumed in TERRIBLE hiss
ing combustion
The 0lde OF a wave ON the sands with its myriad
spsrkle in breaking;
The and the fury of ocean, hmitess meistrom
of ruin.
The leaping Of heart unto heart with bliss that can
never be spoken;
The passion that inaddens and shows how God may

For this when the storm beats me down my soul

Plastic Metal.

A very useful material, which may be
described as a metal paste, has recently
been invented. 1t resembles ordinary
white metal in appearance, such as is
used for lining the bearings Of axles in
railway carriages or machinery, and it
has hard, close texture, capable of tax
ing on high polish. Nevertheless, it
eau be readily pasted on and spread over
another metal by means of hot solder
ing iron, and it adheres to its base with
great tenacity. 1t fuses at tempera-
ture of 450 dogs. Fair, and can there
fore be readily melted over an ordinary
fire. Containing, as it does, neither lead
nor spelter zinc, it may be melted over
and over again without deteriorating in
quality, and this combination of useful
poperties must render it very servicea-
bic article in the colonies, where casting
furnaces or ther foundry appliances are
few and far between.

The Household Recipe.

In the information column of some OF
our exchanges, the startling assertion
that q watermelon may be vanished and
will keep till Christmas, is still going
around.
The watermelon is our favorite fruit
and we thought last fall that we would
vanish one and surprise our friends with
it Christmas. The surprise was all right
but the melon wasn't good for much.
After the turkey and cranberry sauce
had been demolished, we remarked as we
sharpened the carving knife on our boot
kg, that we would now deal out the
fruit.
When we showed the glittering blade
through the vanished shell of the water
melon, about quart of melon Juice in a
bad state of preservation squirted around
the festive board and stopped the flow OF
conversation
Yes, you can varnish watermelon and
keep it till next fall, but when you hold
the autopsy you want to have nobody
around but the coroner and the en-
balmer.
When we threw that melon over into
the alley we remember that it went to
pieces like an cid seed cucumber thrown
against the side of barn.
You can't always bet on these recipes
that You read in the papers. We re-
member once of reading that certain
preparation would keep eggs for a year
and they would taste better when you
peeled them than when they were first
picked.
We tried it.
They seemed filed with malaria when
we opened them and they popped like a
champagne cork.
The family had to move out on ranch
till the affair had blown over And while
we were gone, the coroner broke into the
house to see who had been killed and
locked up there in order to conceal the
crime.
Some of these editors who compile
recipes for housekeepers don't know a
blanc mango from paletot.-Boomer-

Animals Necessary for Research.

How, then, can great result to the
science OF healing be expected If research
IN animals be cut off? For long time
no remedy has been more rapidly recog-
nized or more extensively used than
chloral, the effects of which were dis
covered and established experimentally
10y Herr o. Liebreich In my laboratory.
How would it have been possible to
know how to ascertain those effects
without experiments on animals {? The
animals friends say to us: "Then try
the new medicine yourselves. They
refer us to the provlngs of medicines
by the homeopathic. But, quite indie
pendently of the fact that the provings
OF the homeopathic have not taught us
to recognize one single new remedy
which can be compared even at q dis
lance with chloral, and that these prov
ings, even in regard to already known
remedies, do not IN the least correspond
to scientific Investigations that thus
they can not be altogether regarded as
an original example-one will yet not be
able to earn silly desire that very differ.
ent, possibly poisonous, bodies should
be made the subject of self-experiment-
alton by physicians or other men. This
kind OF morality, which forbids expert
ments on animals and counsels expert
ments on ones own life or on sick men,
misses, in fact, the first foundations OF
intelligent examination.-P Vir-

The Attitude OF Canada.

The Pal Mall Gazette, whose utter.
ances are almost official, is of the opinion
that Canada will be annexed to the United
States within the next ten years. Such is
the popular feeling of Canada to-day. A
few years ago it was quite different.
The Canadians were SUPERFICIAL and the
annexationists, even then a large body.
were the objects of popular hatred and
contempt, but during the past two de-
cades, the trade relations between the
United States and the Dominion have
grown closer and closer until the two
countries are now commercially one.
The grand trunk of railway of Canada
lies half in the United States and half in
Canada. Portland, Me-, during the
greater portion of the year is the ship
ping port for Canadian produce, and the
Canadian telegraph system is now but
branch of the Western Union. All these
circumstances work injuriously to the
interests of the Canadians. They see
that they would be greatly benefited by
annexation and, as consequence, are
becoming anxious for the union. What
has hitherto prevented this movement
from taking some regular shape are the
politicians and officeholders. Canada
has more politics to the square mile than
any other country on the face of the
globe. 1t has an elaborate judiciary and
all the government of large
empire. Union, with this country.
would sweep away all these officials,
and, as consequence, they oppose it.
The Pal Mall Gazette does not say
how Great Britain wonld regard the
secession of its American domain, but the
cool and careless manner in which il
treats the subject is good evidence that
the British lion would not roar very
loud should the Kanucks see fit to sever
their allegiance with the mother country.
