THERE is great diversity of opinion as to the
qualities of oleomargarine among the witnesses
testifying before the New York investigating
committee. Some affirm that being made up of
all kinds of animal fat, with the addition of cot
tonseed oil, nitric acid and other doubtful in
gredient it is highly injurious to the human
system Others, equally positive, declare that
oleomargarine is in reality more healthful and
more desirable as an article of food than butter
itself. To escape poisoning in the one case and

using the genuine article, the citizen of the

THE LONDON EXPLOSION.

Colonel Majendie. Chief Inspector of Explosives, asserts that there Is no doubt that the explosion at tke Victoria station was caused by nitro-glycerine.
 The London Times referring to the explosion at the Victoria Railway station says:-''It is clear that we have to deal with one of those cowardly outrages whereby Irishmen imagine that they are furthering the cause of Irish independ- ence. We have in our midst a set of cowardly desperadoes who are not ashamed to abuse their freedom by reck less attacks upon life and property. The leaders of the Land League will do well to exert their influence with the dyna- miters to repress outrages, since the British, however longsuffering, will not indefinitely permit the murder of inno- cent persons, but may supplement the imperfection of the legal machinery with exceedingly unpleasant reprisals upon Irishmen whose presence they now tol- crate"

Sad News From the Sea.

A letter just received by Mrs. Minor, wife of Captain Sanford Minor, of the schooner Sarah W. Hunt, of Hartford, gives the particulars of the loss of seven of the crew. On November 27, near Campbell Island, Perseverance Harbor, two boats, with six men each, left the vessel to search for seals in shore. They took no provisions intending to return in few hours. The captain and stew ard remained on board the vessel. Heavy squalls set in and the boats could not be found, and after three days un- successful search the captain and stew ard manned the schooner and succeeded in working her into LittIeton, New zea- land, arriving December IS, having sailed 630 miles through severe gales. The Governor of New Zealand sent out steamer ill search of the missing boats crews, and found one. These six men are now in the hospital. The others are probably drowned or have died from starvation.

The Growth of a ChiId's Ideas.

Prof. Straight, of Oswego, in an ad- dress before the school teachers of Con- nectbcut says: eff we can think of the little child, just born into the world, its senses just opening to the world-the eye, the ear and the touch--of the inn pressions from the external world showering down upon those senses there is the beginning. The waves of ether from the bright light beat upon the eye and the child at once distin- guishes the bright light from darkness. Soon bright colors attract the attention; and so it begins at the outset to study optics, discovering light and shade. Form next comes into its consciousness. Thereby it learns to distinguish its mother or nurse from other people. I was told of an experiment tried lately by a teacher at the kindergarten. A very young child had been accustomed to see bright dress upon its mother, and knew her only by color. A young lady friend put on the mothers dress and came into the room where the baby was and was immediately taken for the mother. The child had not progressed far enough to distinguish between them by form. Other children were similarly expert mented upon, but they had been edu- cated in form and color so as not to be mistaken. After discovering optics and forms the child begins to study sound, and soon distinguishes the mothers voice from any other voice. It also learns to distinguish striking sounds from sounds produced otherwise. Next follows the knowledge of number. As soon as a child has one pain and one pleasure it begins to learn number; when it realizes two pains and two pleas ures 1t has learned number. It Is just as easy for the child to learn number by using cubes and triangles as by illus trating with oranges and apples. And so soon as the little child can locate pain within its body-in one of its limbs or its head-there is the locality, the be- ginning of geography. Its striking, kicking and wriggling enables it to dis cover the smoothness and roughness of bodies. The child next begins to study its own form-its hands and feet. I never shall forget the pleasure and sur prise that my own little boy showed when he discovered that he had ears. When he put his hand on the side of his head and found something that he had
  discovery. This joy of discovery is like that which thrills every true discoverer. We can see these powers of discovery in the first few weeks or months of the child's life"

ON HIS WEDDING DAY.
How His Engagement to Marry Was
 Broken O6.

\ letter from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, says: There was very romantic chap. ter in the life of George H. Fryer, the former wealthy Coloradoan who com. mitted suicide in Denver. Three year 4 ago Fryer was engaged to be married 'o Miss H. Ethelyn Bryant, dashing end vivacious society lady of this city. On the day of the wedding Fryer came to Chicago and telegraphed to his affi. anced bride that he had concluded not to marry and that the event was indefi- nitely postponed. He gave no explana- tlon, and at once returned to his home in Denver. Miss Bryant's parents are very wealthy, and every arrangement had been made for most elaborate we'd ding. The news that 1t was off created Q great sensation, and was the talk of the town for months. The first meeting between the couple was quite romantic. The young lady visited Denver in the summer of 1880 at the solicitation of a friend who was also warm friend of George H. Fryer, and the two met at the house of their mutual acquaintance. An attachment at once sprang up which culminated in an engagement before the lady departed for her home on the shores of Lake Michigan. Fryer was said to be worth at that time about a million. He went from Philadelphia to Colorado in 1861 and began mining in Pike county. In 1878 he went to Leadville and opened up the new discovery mine on Fryer Hill, and succeeded in making a rich strike, soon becoming wealthy man. When he met the Milwaukee lady he was about forty years of age and a bachelor. He loaded Miss Bryant with costly presents, giving her among other things twenty thousand dollars worth of diamonds. The presents were never returned, and about a year ago Miss Bryant married Chicago gentle man. It is said that Fryer rapidly drifted downward after the disappoint. ment. He was married to a Chicago woman a year ago. Before his death he lost all his money, and was in destitute circumstances when he died.

A Good Motto.

While visiting at friends house once she asked me to go to her desk for something, and saw there, on opening the lid, motto written by herself and evidently intended for no one else. It said: "Do not scold; do not fret p "Yes," she said, in answer to an inquir- ing look, ''I was obliged to put it there. I wasn't very well, little things troubled me, and it is so natural to speak of them; but I noticed after little while that when i'll the morning early before school or breakfast, began to speak of the wrong doings of any member of the family, that the wrong-doings md the tendency to speak of them increased alarmingly all through the day, and I discovered that if were silent the opposite was true, and began to earn estly believe as never did before that my own soft words turned away my own wrath; and isn't that what it really means for 1t frequently happens that other peoples wrath is increased by that very course.

Spread of the Opium Habit.

A prominent New York physician says: The opium habit is spreading in this country, and especially among the higher classes-professional people for the most part. Morphine, which you know is six times the strength of opium and extracted from it, is the favorite form ill which the drug is used. The habit is usually contracted quite inno- gently, perhaps through a physicians s prescription, persisted in without his knowledge. Once fixed it is impossible for the habitue to leave it without as- sistance. He may accustom himself to taking from ten to twenty grains day. I once had patient who took 180 grains daily. Was he cured2 Certainly. By regular but gradual reduction in the amount of his dose. Such cases require the most careful watching and medical oversight. The only absolute security is in isolation, for relapse is commonly fatal.

For the Children.

A treat for the children can be made in place of the conventional pie or pud. ding. Make a crust, as if for roly poly pudding or baking powder biscuit (using, however, just as little baking powder as will answer, and a few experiments will convince any conscientious cook how ht- tie may successfully fill the place of the much she is often tempted to use); roll the dough about as thin as if for pie crust, then cut it in small squares, heap berries or preserves of any kind, after draining the juice from it upon them, wet the edges, and fold and press closely together, so that there will be no waste of juice; then put them in deep tin baking pan with little lump of butter on each one, little water also in the pan, and scatter some sugar over each little pudding; when these are done serve them warm with a not too rich pudding sauce, or they may be eaten cold without sauce.
