IN MEMORIAM.

NooSsACK, W. T., May 16, 1883.
Tribute to The memory of the late Rev.
j. NJ. Spangler, by the people of Nook
sack and vicinity, addressed to his rela-
tive5:
We, the people OF Nooksack, in no
mere formal fashion write this letter to
you. 1t is at the promptings OF hearts
that deeply sympathize with you in this
time of trial and sadness. We never
gave up the idea that he (Mr. Spangler)
would recover and enjoy many years of
usefulness in this valley. He was indeed
brother beloved while amongst us, hav-
ing kind word for all he came in con-
tact with, emulatiDg the great example of
the Master in doing good unto all as he
had opportunity. He was indeed rare
man possessed of many gifts and graces,
excellencies which impressed many hearts
here, both young and old; and in hissu
den and unexpected death we can only
exclaim: what hath God wroughtw
Our faith teaches us that what is our loss
is his exceeding gain. Let us try TO fol-
low his example and render ourselves as
fit as he was to pass through the valley of
the shadow of death, beyond which are
the eternal homes of the lust made per-
feet"
We know that no expression of ours
can allay your grief or atone for the per-
sonal loss you have sustained, or enhance
the excellencies of our beloved pastor
and friend. These words are simply an
expression of the feelings OF an affection
ate and grateful people.
We subscribe ourselves kindly and
truly yours,

Luminous Plants.

1t is well known that many insects
and forms of marine life have a lumi-
nous quality strong enough to justify
the name of Giving lamps" which
was given to them by a writer in a
recent number of Harpe1's Magazine.
Sometimes the phosphorescence in
the sea blinds the eyes to the brightest
stars, and this is produced by minute
forms of organic life. Similar atoms
of the infusoria will cling to the hui
man body which has been bathed in
certain parts of the tropical seas, so
that, seen in the dark, the bather will
have the appearance of a glowworm,
and when they are carried up into the
air in a waterspout at night the pillar
which the mariner sees will be one of
fire.
Among insects the FREELY is the most
familiar, its sudden appearance, as
night comes On, changing the gloom to
a scene of splendor, and in Southern
countries the beetles are remarkably
luminous.
Many plants, also, possess a light
giving quality. 1t is told of a party
VI llllllllS lOoDCClOlo III NCM NIChlCO
that when, after dark, they looked for
shelter in a mountain cavern, they
were alarmed by strange lights which
cleaned and blazed overheard. When
touched with a stick the burning spots
fell at once to the ground, and when
they were picked up they were found
to belong to Il curious phosphorescent
fungi, common in many coal mines,
especially in Sweden, where in some
mines they glow so splendidly that
they seem like f~estoons of light hung
from ceiling to wall. The rays of light
are like moonbeams delicately colored,
and it is possible to read by them with
out effort. This fungi, and others of
a similar kind, illuminate the branches
of trees, the leaves of shrubs and even
the huts and cottages of the peasants
in some countries.
Not only are many plants luminous
in themselves, but their juices also
possess the phosphore, cent quality.
NaturalistS have described the strange
scene of animals pursued by the
natives at night, dashing through the
vegetation as much in terror at their
OWL appearance dS VI ne hunters.
Tapirs have been seen bounding
through the tropical forests as il
bathed in fire, simply be ause they
have become entangled in the meshes
of the cipo of Brazil and Asia.
Nothing is more impressive on a
midsummer night than to listen in the
country to the insect voices that unite
in chorus on the mountains and in the
forest. We can understand the hum
which rises from a city, for there the
forms of life are familiar to us; but
the invisible life of the woods, often
infinitesimal in form, has a mysterious
activity, which is only family echoed
in these sounds. Nor does the activity
go on in darkness, for many of the
tiny workers carry their own lamps
with them.-Youth'S Companion.

HEALTH HINTS.
Laws of Health.


Coarse bread is much better for
children than fine.
Children should sleep in separate
beds, and should not wear night-caps.
The more clothing we wear, other
things being equal, the less food we
need.
The best beds for children are of
hair, and in the winter of hair and
cotton.
Young people and others cannot
study much by lamplight with i'm
punity.
Children should be taught to use
their left hand as much and as well as
their right.
Sleeping rooms should have a fire
place or some mode of ventilation be-
side the windows.
Children and young people should
be made to hold their heads up and
shoulders back while standing, sitting
or working.
The best remedy for eyes weakened
by night use, is a fine stream of cold
water frequently applied to them
london Lancet.
From n to n pound and a half
of solid food is sufficient for a person
in the ordinary vocation of business.
Persons in sedentary employments
should drop one-third of their food.
and they VIII escape dyspepsia.

Thrice Declared Dead.

A French butcher by the name Of
Fouques lately died in Oran, the Alge-
rian capital, whose singular fortune it
was to be thrice at long intervals pro-
nounced dead and laid out in his coffin.
His first experience was in 1913, when
he fell into a trance from which he re-
covered in time to knock violently on
the coffin lid as the bearers were carry
ing him to the grave. In 1866 an at
tack of the cholera ended, to all ap-
pearances, in death, and he was again
on the point of being buried when he
recovered consciousness. A few weeks
ago the doctor once more declared that
Fouques was dead, but his friends,
mindful of his two narrow escapes, re-
sorted to all known means of resusci-
tation and refused to bury the body
until the most unmistakable evidences
of dissolution appeared.

WHILE THE DAYS ARE GOING BY.

There are lonely hearts to cherish
While the days are going by:
There are weary souls who perish
While the days are going by;
If a smile we can renew,
AS our journey we pursue,
Obi the good that we may do,
While the days are going by.
There's no time for idle scorning
While the days are going by;
Let our face be like the morning
While the days are going by;
OH the world is full of signs,
Full of sad and weeping eyes;
Help your fallen brother rise
While the days are going by.
All the loving links that bind US
While the days are going by,
One by one we leave behind US
While the days are going by;
Both the seeds of good we SOW,
Both in shade and shine will grow,
And will keep our hearts aglow
While the days are going by.

81 was once the owner of Maud S.
for a week." said Mr.. Hubert, the
other day, while speeding over the
Erie railroad. When asked how he
came into possession of her, he said:
"An old riverman by the name of
Bugher went with me to sale of tho
roughbreds in Kentucky. Bugher had
lots of money, and he bought eleven Of
the horses. Just as he were leaving. a
horse was put up that struck my fancy
and / bid her in for S145. I made az
rangements with Bugher to have her
shipped with his horses, and a few
days later, when the horses reached
Cincinnati, Bugher pointed out sorrel
mare as mine. said she did not look
like my horse, but Bugher was posi-
tive, so l said no more about it and
took the animal, which was then un-
broken. "A week later l found in my
memorandum book that the horse l
had bought was bay, not sorrel, so
l sent the sorrel mare home. That's
where l made my mistake, for the
sorrel was the afterward famous Maud
s., who has trottedin 2:0S, it is claimed,
and who"
Pardon me-" interrupted an old
gentleman who was listening TO the
narrative, ''the best time she ever made
was 2:102."
''She has trotted nile in POS, sir"
continued Mr., Hubert, ''and, further
than that, she has done it twice to my
personal knowledge, but both times in
prlyate. She WAS timed by experts
with stop watches. The little bay 1
got In exchange for Maud S. never
trotted under three minutes.''

FRIED MEATs.-These are regarded
by all authorities on hygiene as Iniur-
ious. Burnt grease OF any kind IS di-
gested with difficulty and is specially
harmful to those suffering from dys-
pepsia. Meats should be roasted,
baked, broiled or boiled, but meyer
fried. Those who have coal stoves can
easily broil their steaks those who
have wood stoves can do the same with
little management. The fire can be
SO used as to furnish Goals when they are
needed; brands may be removed from ;he
fre-box, and the meat in wire broiler
or toaster be placed over the Goals. A
pair OF bellows Is useful In keeping the
Goals bright and glowing. 1t pays to
take little trouble to have broIled
steak, and if one is dyspeptlc he should
utterly reject all fried meats.

Gunnaed Paper.-The tendency of
paper when gummed, as in the case of
postage stamps, labels, etc., to curl up
Is very ANNOYING. 1t is said that this
evil may be avoided by adding little
salt, sugar and glyceIine to the gum,
very little oft the latter, however, because
otherwise the gum does not dry thor
ou2hly. The gummed paper also must
not be dried by too great heat. An
other peculiarlty OF gummed paper is
its greater liability to curl up the thick
er it is. The thinnest paper possible
under various circumstances should.
therefore, be used.

DAMPNEss IN HoUsEs.-Many house
holders are sorely troubled by the
growth of fungi in damp rooms, TO
which they communicate, in a short
time, an unpleasant smell and unwhole-
some atmosphere. 1t is not only our
cellars that are apt to be affected by
fungoid growth, but the walls of the
adjacent rooms, and many bed rooms
ON the ground floor are similarly reI-
dered useless after a moist season.
Many remedies have been proposed to
destroy this fungoid growth, or to pre-
vent it occurrence; but hitherto these
remedies have been too expensive or
totally lnefficacious. Recently an alco-
holic solution of five grammes of sali-
cylic acid per litre of water for washing
the walls of n oms has been recon-
mended. This is exactly one-haif per
cent, or one part sahcyic acid for 200
parts liquid. No doubt the mold may
be destroyed temporarily by this as by
many other solutions, such, for in
stance, as corrosive sublimate or car
boIic acid. The true remedy, however,
is not this temporary expedient, nor
attempting to hide the dampness by
enamel paints, etc. T; it is to cut off the
source of moisture and 10 put the
waterproof materials outside and not
inside the walls.

SoILs.-Clay soils are generally bet
ter for wheat than sandy ones, because
they are not subject TO such sudden ex-
remes of temperature and moisture, and
are more tenacious in their character.
Timber land is better than prairie land,
because the decaying roots are pretty
sure to effect uncerdrsinage, magnesia
and lime and silica are more abundant
and nitrogen is less abundant. and such
land being more rolling is better drained
and dryer.

HE RETURS TO CURTAINs.-Asf for the
night-caps, they must have been instl-
tuted IN the times when snow used TO
sift under the caves upon sleepers in
their beds, or when the winds entering
by q hundred crevices in walls, WIN
dows and doors, would bring all the
fresh cold air from out of doors upon
the unconscious heads. Modern '.im-
provement" mas made sleeping-rooms
air-tight, except for a lower window,
and has carried of the bed-curtains,
too, which used to keep off draught at
night or the binding daylight In the
early morning from the sleeper's eyes i.
There has been q fashionable return,
lately, not to the old fashioned tester
and the fourpost canopy, that shut in
all four corners Of the bed, but to a
headboard canopy with curtains that
merely shade the pillows. This is very
pleasant, pretty and comfortable, as it
does screen the eyes of sound sleepers
from the glare of daylight, which is
meant by nature to awaken them,
but does not always bring anything be-
yond irritation In their sleep. A mod
flied return to bed-curtains and head
eahopies will certainly enable people
to have more fresh air and light in their
bedrooms that some persons allow.
The reaction against the old fashion
went too far, and the satisfactory mid
die distance Is now allowed.
