voice full of human kindness, 81 should

ragged boy, with insffable scorn in his
tone, "Pll lend you oEe," at the

THIEVES VrsEGAR The repnte Of this
preparation as prophylsctic in contagious
fevers is said to have arissn from the confss-
sion of four thieves, who, daring the plague
at Marseilles, plundersd the dead bodies
with perfect security, and, upon being ar
rested, stated, on condition OF their lives
being spared, that the use OF aromatic vim
egar had preserved them from the influence.
Of contsgion. IL is on this account some
tines called "L lie vinaigre des quatre
voleurs." Il was, however, long used be-
fcre the plague of Mzrseilles, for it was the
constant custom of Car iinal Wolsey TO
carry in bis hand an orange deprived Of its
contents and filed with asponge which had
been soaked in vinegar imprsguated with
various spices, in order 70 preserve himself
from injection when passing through the
crowds which his spiendor or office attract.

ago an old woman upwards OF ninety years
of age died st place called EgIinton.
near Londonderry. The usual arrange
ments for the funeral were made, and the
coffin was closed and taken in hearse to
the place Of interment, where tie service
was duly gone through, the coffin lowered
and the grave filed in. On reaching home,
however, the relatives OF the deceased
were amazed to find the corpse OF the old
woman lying on the bed upon which she
had expired. the mistake IN forgetting TO
put her in at the proper time neeessitAted
the expense Of second funeral.

ENGLISH CHARAcTER.-I In the new vol

sums it up as follows Every true Eng

This phrase reminds one of Edward Lytton
Bulwer's analysis Of English national van

He abuses them eternaily. The public

CRAM EXAMINATIONS, -" Hot house Ed
ucation is the title Of pamphlet re-.
Gently published in England, on the ab.
surdity of the examinations in vogue
there, which are systematically prepared
for by examining. DR.. Crichton Browne is
authority for the statement that, by sub.
mitting boys of II or l3 to the exsmina-
tions, "we may be able TO select those of
the quickest wits. and those most suscepti.
bic of cram but we should certainly not
bring to the front those of the greatest
grasp of intellect and force of character" !"
and that to institute such examinations at
such an age seems to be offering premium
or precoeity. In the examinations of
older candidates, tests are often exacted of
kind which an examiner who has been
quoted by Mr.. Froude described as setting
paper ''fcr which Macaulay might pos.
sibly get full marks" A case is cited by
Mr.. Digby, the author of the pamphlet we
have referred to, of an examiner who had
to appeal to the Geographical Society for
the answer to problem which he had set
to candidates, but could not for the time
being solve himself Another instance is
that of an examiner for the army who gave
out as subject of composition. g Visit
by Sir Roger de CoverleY and the 'Specta-
tor to Lords Cricket Ground. Such
cases might, perhaps, be met by fixing the
rule that those who make the examinations
should be required to pass them.

SCIENCE AND FAITH.

"Science and Faith was the subject of
an address delivered some time ago by Pro-
fessor A. J Dubois, of the Sheffield Scien-
titic School. before the Scientific Society of
Bridgeport, Connecticut. The burden of
the address is an attempt to show that the
basis of all scientific knowledge is faith !;
that what we consider our most certain
knowledge does not anG cannot admit of
rigid demonstration, but rests at bottom
upon assumptions whose truth must be
taken simply upon trust. All scientific
proof is really based upon the single hy-
pothesis of the uniformity of nature-a
doctrine which can never be demoastra-
lively established, bat of which the highest
and strongest proof is. and always must be
merely cumulative. The evidence for this
hypothesis rests upon our experience, and
that is of limited character. Thus, the
foundation of our knowledge is an assump.
tion, which, though highly probable, can
not be proved. "And yet we believe;
our conviction is so perfect that,
even if exact and rigid demon.
stration were possible, it would
add not one particle to the positiveness of
our conviction. The fact remains, then,
that we believe that which we cannot
prove. The scientist. no less than the
theologian, rests his conclusions ultimately
upon faith. When reason halts, faith
steps in and leads us onward, and upon
the basis of faith our most certain con.
clusions are founded" Reason, indeed, is
our guide; but faith-that faith which,
resting upon experience, nevertheless
transcends xperlence-must be the rod
and staff on which we lean. The greatest
debt we owe to Science, Professor Dubois
concludes, "apart from ali she has done
and is doing for our bodily comfort and
our mental development, is for the lesson
of faith she is thus ever teaching us-the
lesson that Reason and Faith must ever go
hand in hand that man can
never feel sure OF attaining absolute knowl-
edge-that pure truth is not for him that
just so surely as he walks by reason and
by reason only, iast SO surely be must
reach point where reason halts and waits
on faith"

keeping her trade, and, therefore, when
she came again and paid him half a
dollar with a hole in it, among other
change, he received 1t and said nothing.
Next day he was obliged to take an
other, and during the next week she
banded out a dozen coins which had
the dreaded holes letting daylight

came in one day and inquired:
