this balsam frequently to the diseased

A very agreeable dentifrice for good
teeth is made from an ounce of myrrh

green sage, mixed with two spoonfuls
of white honey. A druggist will mix
up the compound, and the teeth should

Spite of all that is said against it,,
charcoal holds the highest place as "a
tooth powder. 1t has the property too
of opposing putrefaction, and destroys
the vices of the gums. 1t is most con-
veniently used when made into paste

Making Beautiful Years.

We greatly mistake if we think that
there is no opportunity for ordinary
lives to make their years beautiful, ..and
to fill them with acceptable Christian
service. In the common relations of
life there is room not only for duty but
for heroism. No ministry Is more
pleasing to the Master than that of
cheerful and hearty faithfulness to low
~ duty, when there is no pen to write
its history and no voice to proclaim lts
praise To he "A good husband, loving,
tender, unselfsh and cherishing, or "A
good wife, thoughtful, helpful, uncom-
planning and inspiring, is most accep-
table service. To live well i'll ones
place in the world, adjoining ones call
ing, however lOwly, doing ones most
prosaic work diligently and honestly,
and dwelling in love and unseltishness
with all men, is to live grandly. One
who fights well the battle with his own
lusts and temper, in the midst of the
countless temptations and provocations
of everyday life, is Il Christian hero.
There is no one, however obscure
the life and commonplace its duties, to
whom the opportunity is not given to
make his years beautiful AS they pass.
she hath done what she could" was
one of the sweetest Communications ev-
er uttered 10y the Master. An angel
could do no more Westminster

For the Breath and Teeth.

To sensitive person there is moth
ing more unpleasant than an offensive
breath, and the following directions
from Harper's Bazaar for preserving the
teeth and gums may be useful:
But what shall destroy that foe to
sentiment, that bane of all beauty, an
offensive breath : The suggestion of
unretinement, of physical disorder and
foulness it gives would weigh against
all the moral and intellectual worth
which might lie behind it. The anti
dote, happily, is so simple as the evil
is prevailing. With due attention to
the health, and thorough brushing of
the teeth at least night and morning,
all that Is needful To secure "A sweet
breath is to chew Il bit of licorice after
using the brush. This will even coun-
teract the effects of diseased breath.

The Service Of Heaven.

We do not know yet how great shall
be the power required from us III the
celestial service of God. We cannot
think of the spirits who have passed
into those regions as having become
inactive, any more than as having lost
consciousness OF personality. | follow
the Apostle Paul in his magnificent
mission in the world. | see him work
truths of Christ in the gospel with all
the energy of his spirit, to the minds
of men. Am to suppose, as | stand
by the church of the Three Fountains,
which is the traditional spot of his
death, that that glorious spirit has
passed out of existence or activity.
No: know that somewhere i'll Gods
universe, and by and by | shall know
where, he is still working for the same
divine master whom he hOnOred and
trusted while on earth. | know that
John looks on the face of Christ and is
exultant in spirit. The eagle is the
symbol of John. Is he il chained eagle
in his Fathers house 1t is said that
heaven is place of rest. Yes ; but it
is not the rest of laziness ; it is not the
rest of paSsivity it is the rest of tri-
umphant power, working without break
or jar, every force in completcst har-
m0ny with every other, and all opera
ting with easy and unabating success.
Now, this moral and personal power
we should seek, in its fullest develop
ment, that we may he ready for its
highest life. 1t will not be power over
mechanical instruments that is needed Z;
it will not he power over political
combinations hut personal, moral,
spiritual force, fully developed i'll us
is what we aspire to carry into those
realms of supreme and mysterious eX
istence, to fit us to enter which Christ
came, and the Holy Spirit is ever com
ing, silent as the sunshine, mighty as
the ultimate power of nature, as the
power of God himself. There is no
possible motive for the culture of char
acter or the high culture of power i'll
us. like that which comes from the as
vet unrealized but not immagined
realms of life, which Christ through his
cross. and his ascension, opens to our

In Important Measure.
[vicksburg Herald


One of the most important mea-
sures before Congress is one that
has excited little attention or dis.
cussion so far this session. We
allude to the Blair Educational
bill. The bill apprOpriates annu-
ally, for ten years, several million
dollars to the common schools of
the various States in proportion
to the illiteracy. When the bill
was first Introduced Senator Blair
sent us copy of it, and we heart
lily indorsed it, and urged our con.
gressmen to accept it. 1t Just
about covers the suggestions made
by Governor Lowry in his inaugu.
raj address. He pointed out the
great necessity of aid to the com.
mon schools, and declared the
poverty of the people of Missis-
sippi was so great thepeople could
not keep up the common schools
to the proper standard. While
we admit the people are very poor
we think the Legislature might
have done more than it did.
The Blair bill will give great re.
lief, and we cannot see how any
Southern congressman can vote
against it, unless he is opposed to
the education of the masses alto-
gether. Several million dollars
appropriated in the way proposed
will be Of great relief TO every
Southern State, and will no doubt
be productive of great benefit to
the poor people. Tho President,
it is reported, thinks so well of the
measure that he has thought of
sending special message to con.
gress on the subject. Something
of that sort might be necessary
with Northern members, because
the common schools Of the North
are already we'll supported, but we
think all the Southern members
should be alive to the Importance
and the opportunity, without any
suggestion from the President.
The bill will come up some time
early in January, and we shall
watch its late with great interest.
If Souteeln members vote against
it they will give cause to doubt the
sincerity of some of their promi-
ses.

Newspapers In the Schools,

To assist the studies of children
by having them read the newspa.
pers in the public schools at stated
hours is not a new idea. II is on
trial in different parts of the coun-
try, and has just found a warm
practical advocate in Superintend-
ent Lucky, of the Pittsburg public
schools. In a recent convention
of Pennsylvania teachers that gen.
tleman opposed the use of any
and all spelling books, because he
contended that a word standing
by itself was dead, while in sen.
tence it had life. He ,ridiculed the
reading lessons to be found in the
schoolbooks, and wanted newspa
pers substituted for the prosy
readers dealers with unrealities
and teaching nothing. He stated
that in Pittsburg's public schools
the geography was only a book of
reference, the daily newspapers
being the means by which geogra.
ply was taught. Through being
made familiar with the news the
children associated places and
events readily and seldom forgot
either. If the pupils Of our pub
lie schools can be taught to read
more readily and understandingly
in the columns of newspapers than
III the pages of the tiresome, dull
reading books, the journals should
be adopted. Such an innovation
would meet with opposition. Many
men aud women are firm in the be-
Lief that asenseless reading is the
only proper mental food for child
rem. Fairy tales may find firm be-
.lievers in the nursery, but they
are laughed to scorn in the school
room. Boys take all interest in
what their fathers talk of, be it of
war, politics, or financial failure.
And the girls are no less interest
ed in the incidents of every day
life. Sweep the cobwebs from the
system of education, and give the
children papers and books which
thrill with interest and glow with
life. Instead of insipid "Read.
ers," which do not supply even an
emotion of pleasure, put the great
works of great men into the hands
of the children.

A Dukes Difficulties.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Accord.
ing to the papers the Duke of
Newcastle (who is now in Wash.
ington City had a hard time in his
efforts to attend church last Sun
day. He first visited the Presi.
dents church at the hour for NOR
nlng service, and his success is
thus related by the Post: "The
Duke of Newcastle has been the
object of many laundering dis
courtesies since his arrival in this
city, where the attendants upon
Washington aristocracy are in the
habit of judging social condition
by dress, and expect rank to be
accompanied by lordly bearing.
The Duke, in modest dress, and
unheralded, went to st. Johns
church Sunday morning, and un.
aware of it's exclusiveness,n he
walked quietly in. He was met in
the yestibule by the sexton, who
told him he must wait outside un.
til all the pewhOlders had arrived
and were seated, and the church
filing with these he was finally re.
fused admittance altogether, and
he returned to his quarters very
much astonished at his reception,
and asked If that was the custom
of the churches of this country.
The hotel clerk made some apology
for the affair, and directed him to
the Church Of the Ephiphany,
where he went, after some hesita-
tion, not caring to subject himself
to another rebuff
