A Peace Maker.

The late Rev. Dr. Neale was once asked by the Rev. A. J. Gordon if he ever had any church difficulties. "Oh, yes," he replied; ''once it was pretty serious, and the brethren were getting very warm. I said, Let us be dis missed They rose, and before they thought of it, the benediction was pro- nounced and they were dispensing. Ere another meeting they had cooled off," Dr. Gordon asked Dr. Neale the secret of his long pastorate. "Well,' replied he, "when I got vexed and wanted to go, they wouldn't let me, and when they got vexed and wanted me tc go, I wouldn't go. We never both got mad at the same time"

PAPER IN JAPAN.-The Japanese en- ploy paper instead of India rubber for making air cushions. These cushions roll up smaller than India rubber ones, do not stick together after being wet, and having no odor are more agreeable for pillows. Moreover, their strength is marvellous, considering the material of which they are made. A man weigh ing 16O pounds may stand on one with out bursting it. They are waterproof, too, and make good life preservers.

FOR 4 BIRTHDAY

We're passing away says the murm'ring brook, As it's born from the rift-ribbed rock,
 And the same thing it says
 For the rest of it's days, Till it sinks in the salt of the sea We're passing away! as the wind drives along, And the leaves in their tip-tumbling way,
 Come rustling down
 In shower of brown And clothe Mother Earth in her all russet gown We're passing away when the soft settling snow Hides the tears sombre Autumn hath shed,
 When the forest, ice bound,
 And the openings resound To the blast of the horn and the bay of the hound We're passing away! as that sound on the ear, And followers we in the swift chase of life:
 At morn we arc fresh,
 At noon we but sigh, The night cometh on-we resist, but to die.

Homes That Are Homes.

What constitutes home2 Not cost
ly living, nor fine furniture, nor glitter
ing pomp. It takes something better
than this to make home. It takes con-
sideration for the feelings as we'll as the
bodies of others-consideration for their
peculiarities, too, and consideration for
their preference. Consideration is tho
kindly angel of home; and no home is
homo in the sweetest and best sense of
the word, where the white wings of Con-,
sideration ore not spread lovingly over
the family circle. We can no more ride
rough-shod over the feelings of others
than we can over their bodies; and one
is entitled to as much respect as the
other. 1t is not by great actions that
we make home happy; it is not by throw
ing around the glitter that money buys,
but it is by attending to small things,
even as small as laying arosebud on the
plate of the one who loves flowers, and
who, pinning it on her dress, carries
through the day the perfume of low
ing deed.

The Pagan View.

Admiral Hall, of the British navy,
says that while commanding naval
vessel at Hong Hong, after divine SER
vice had been performed one Sunday on
his ship, and tho sailors were at rest,
his intelligent Chinese pilot called his
attention to tho fact that work was going
on on shore as usual, and Said, 'Your
Joss (God) is better than our Joss, for
he gives you holiday and rest one day
in seven, and we have only one day in
tho yoar-on New Years Day" The
admiral, in a recent address to working
men, clinched the fact by adding, "And
this is the case. Just picture working
hard from morning till night for three
hundred and sixty-four days, and only
one day of rest, and then prize the Sab

To Test The Purity of Air.

The following is simple method to,
determine the purity of air in room:
Fill a half-pint vial with pure rain-water,
and then empty it in the room where
tho air is to be tested-the air of course
going into the VIAL Then pour into
the vial a tablespoonful of lime-water.

remains cloar, the air is good; but if it
the presence of too much carbonic acid,
which combining with tho lime forms
the white insoluble carbonate of lime.
If there is little more of this gas than
eight parts in ten thousand, the lime
water will be slightly milky; if much
more it will be strongly turbid.

Lopo de Vega.

The most portentous example of lit
crary fecundity on record is, beyond
question, to be found in the person Of
Lope de Vega. He thought nothing Of
writing play in a couple of days, a
light farce in an hour or two, and in the
course of his life he furnished the stage
of Spain with upward of two thousand
original dramas. Hallam calculated
that this extraordinary man was the
author of at least twenty-one million
three hundred thousand lines. The
most voluminous writer in modern
times-an author who was in facility of
composition not far inferior to Lope-
would certainly be Robert Southey,
whose acknowledged works amount to
no less than one hundred and nine vol
umes, In addition to which he contrib
uted fifty-two essays to the Annual Re-
ysea0, ninety-four to tho Quarterly, and
to minor magazines articles without
number. After Southcy would come
Voltaire and Sir Walter Scott.

Curing Bad Tempered Horses.

Ing and cutting up generally. On taking
the reins myself next time he was har.
messed, found this was, indeed, tho
case. I had some difficulty in getting
into tho street without Knocking tho
carriage to pieces against the gate-posts,
and when we got there, there was quite
circus exhibition before we behaved
ourselves.
I took night to mediate upon the
difficulty, for it seemed to me q pretty
serious one, as I had known MANY
horses 10 fall into vicious habit of that
kind and never get out of II. The next
day when he was put to the carriage I
carried out an apple and gave him,
and while he was enjoying it got into
tho buggy and took up the lines, and
walked out of the barn as quietly as q
kitten. For more than six years after
ward he never showed the slightest re-
turn of his rebellious behavior, think.
ing, no doubt, everytime he was har-
messed, of the delicious apple. though
the luxury of bribery had not been once
repeated. But, q few weeks ago, tho
lad who takes care of him told me that

sweeps the ground) was getting into
his tantrums again; I told Phil to give
him q potato the next time he took him
out, apples being out of the market.
This worked an equally sudden cure,
which lasts until the present writing.
''Now deem, as General Jackson
used to say, that this treatment will cure
balkiness also, as we'll as any other bad
habit Of a horse that grows out OF vex-
