glorious efforts In behalf Of the emanci-

She shook it.

A Feyer.PrOOf Costume.

There was exhibited at the rooms of
the National Health society, London,
novel dress, intended for the protec-
ton of sanitary visitors, nurses and
others who have to enter the rooms of
persons suffering from infectious dis
eases. The garment is of macintosh,
glazed inside and out, and made COM
pletely to envelop the wearer and with
hood to cover the head. Thus only
the hands and face remain exposed-a
matter considered of comparatively
little Importance, as these can be easily
washed with disinfectants. A not less
important object proposed to be eff
fected by the use of this dress is that
by its removal when the wearer leaves
the sick-room the clothes which have
been protected need not be changed,
and the danger of the disease being
carried from house to house or COM
municated to susceptible persons in
public vehicles is obviated. At the
end of the day, or as often as may be
convenient, the dress can be cleansed
with disinfectants. Further protec-
ton is given by simple form of
respirator. This is made of two folds
of thin washing-net, between which is
placed layer of medicated cotton
wool, through which the wearer can
breathe though no germs can pass.
The respirator has tape strings which
tie round the ears. After use the wool
is burned and the net washed.

Neal Dow,s Rat Story.

Neal Dow, the temperance leader,
tells this rat story in letter to Bos-
ton paper: My home is supposed to be
rat-proof, and was so when quite new,
but at one time, more than twenty
years ago, we had a large colony of the
rodents, greatly to our annoyance, and
it was with us a matter of daily
wonder where they found a weak spot
in our defenses against them. One
evening a young lady from a friends
family, living in a large, fine house
nearly mile away, was with us, and
the talk turned on rats, as we heard
ours galloping in the ceiling and
scampering up and down the walls.
The young lady said that none had
ever been in their house, and she did
not think there was any point at which
they could enter. My eldest daughter,
a great wit, said: "I've heard that, if
politely invited to do. so in writing,
rats will leave any house and go to any
other to which they may be directed,
and will tell ours that at your house
they will find spacious quarters and an
excellent commissariat.
At the moment, before us all, she
wrote a most fgrandiloquent letter to
the large family of rats that had so
long favored us with their presence,
pointing out to them that at IS Pearl
street was large, fine house which
had never been favored with the resi-
dence of any of their family, where
they could find ample quarters and a
fat larder. When finished, she read
the missive to the company, and we
had great laugh over it. As an old
superstition, she then put lard upon it
and carried it into the attic, where it
would probably be found by those to
whom it was directed to. A few days
after the young lady was at our house
again, and burst into laugh, exclalm-
ing: "Our house is overrun with
rats" This recalled to us that we had
heard none in our walls. Ny daughter
went to the attic and the letter wa
gone. While we were talking and
laughing over the curious affair friend
came in, and hearing the tale, said that
two evenings before, in the bright
moonlight, he saw several rats running
down Chestnut street, which was the
straight road to Pearl street. We
have never been troubled with them
since, but have not heard how it has
been with the house to which our ben
eficiaries were directed.

Tho Elders ReproOf.

An elder of the kirk having found a
little boy and his sister playing mar
bles on Sunday, put mis- reproof in this
form, not a judicious one for a child /:
" Boy, do you know where children go
to who play marbles on the Sabbath
day." "Ay," said the boy, they
gangdown to the field by the water be-
low the brig" "No," roared out the
elder, "they so to hell and are burned"
The little fellow, really shocked, called
to his sister: "Come ava, Jeanne,
here's a man swearing awfully."-

THE MYSTIC LAND.

In that strange and mystic land,
Where tho skies are soft and bland,
And never blight or sadness comes anear,
Where joy ruleth endlessly,
And all things are glad and free,
Year by year,
Ihave wandered near and far,
Grasped all wonders that there are,
Climbed the pinnacles that touch its friendly
skies;
Wrapped in its perfect ease,
I have heard its melodies,
Rise and rise.
In that land of calm divine,
All things 1 choose are mine;
For its treasure-houses open wide to me
The choicest of all time
The spoils of every cline,
Vast and free.
Oh, land of corn and wine -
Oh, land, sweet land of mine,
Whose gilded turrets crowd the spicy air |!
Land of unfailing streams
oh, magic land of dreams,
Thou art fair,
Heavenly fair

Mob Law Near London.

Mob violenceis by no means peculiar
to this country. The village of Houns-
low, near London, was lately the scene
of something not unlike an American
lynching. This was an incident of the
Edwardes- Whitmarsh case. DR.. Ed
wardes, popular young physician,
committed suicide, leaving letter
which stated that lying charge of
dishonorable conduct had been brought
against him by woman; that DR..
Whitmarsh, his partner, had taken
advantage of it to crowd him out of a
thriving practice, and concluded with
the words, "May God curse Michael
Whitmarsh." Edwardes had been
popular, and Whitmarsh was disliked.
Day after day there was rioting in
Hounslow, and Whitmarsh was forced
to hide himself and all his family. He
was burned in efigy, bricks were
hurled through his windows until not
a pane of glass was left, his brougham
was demolished, and preparations We're
being made to burn his residence
when the police finally restored order.
