New years Gifts in oIden Times.

Queen Elizabeth is thought to have
maintained her immense wardrobe from
the New Years contributions of her
loving subjects; and as she is said never
to have worn dress twice, it may be
imagined what they and her jewels,
etc, amounted to. Itaprears that 'all
the peers and peeresses of the realm,
all the bishops, the chief officers of
state, and several of the queen house
hold servants, down to her apothe-
carries, master cook, and sergeant of
pastry, ETC., gave New Year. gifts to
her Majesty, consisting in general
either of a sum of money, jewels, trink-
cts, or wearing apparel. From her
household ard tradespeople she
also received a great variety of pres
ents, and always made gifts in return,
though of far less value than those she
received. Down to James II. the mon
archs continued to receive and give
presents. At present, the court Gus
tom, it is said, has dwindled down to
the placing of crown piece under the
dinner plates of the two chaplains in
waiting at court on New Year Day.
Gloves were more expensive in olden
times, and money given in lieu of them
was called 'gloye money" 1t is said
Sir Thomas Moore, as Lord Chancellor,
decreed in favor of Mrs. Croker
against Lord Arundel. On the follow
ing New Years day, in token of her
gratitude, she presented Sir Thomas
with pair of gloves containing forty
angels. ut would be against good
manners, said the chancellor, ''to for
sake a gentlewoman' New Year
gifts and from the money given for
that purpose arose the phrase pin
money!" as applied strictly for person
al enjoyment. With us, and of late
years, gift-making is more generally
confined to Christmas, and calling on
New Years Day. 1t was customary,
however, not very many years ago, in
France as we'll as here, for gentlemen
calling to carry with them little cor
nucopias or packages OF bonbons to
present to the ladies with a Happy New
Year. and, for some especial favorite,
to hide among the sugar plums little
trinket of value.-1he Chatrcjtm0?a.

peeially anxious TO call consideration
arc these: Cd The influence of tobacco
is apparently cumulative. A warning
sense of excess in the use to tobacco
generally comes to late. The pipe,
cigar or cigarette may be laid aside.
bnt the depressing or nauseating effect
increases for some time. Neyerthe-
less there is no valid reason
to suppose tobacco or nico-
tine does not actually accumulate.
(2) Excitation of the nerve centers, as
by oxidation, seems to intensity the ef-
fects OF tobacco when once taken into
the system. On going Out into the air
and breathing quickly the characteristic
sensations are nearly always for a time
aggravated. 90 A cigar or cigarette
smoked through a tube is generally
stronger in its influence than the
same smoked without a tube. These
three results of observation and expert
ment seem to suggest the conclusion
that the action of tobacco IS topical as
regards the nerves, the afferent radi-
Giles beng first acted upon, and when
these are brought under its influence the
centers being affected from the peri
phery. Ia short, we incline to think
tobacco is not absorbed, or if it be, its
action is not due to absorption, but that
it operates as peripheral sedatiyc, ike
cocaine, and produces its general effects,
as cocoa stops the sense of munger, by
numbing the nerves of the stomach, the
central effects being secondary, and
to some extent reflex 1t is worth
while to pursue this subject further.
We incline to think that tobacco may
be found to have as yet unsupported
value therapeutically, if we can only
arrive at correct notion of the pre-
else manner in which its effects are pro-
duced. and then determine how to use
it. Great good would result from the
recognition of tobacco as a drug, if
only because then its abuses could be
restrained In the old days, before
choloroform and other an@sthetics
were discovered, the use of tobacco as
potent sedative to relax the muscles in
dislocations and to facilitate the re-
duction of hernie was a clumsy eXpedi-
ent. 1t was speedily abandoned when
better supplying agents We're provided
Ii would, however. have been wiser to
investigate the action of the agents
more closely instead of throwing it
wholly aside.-L0ndOn Lancet.

The sun was the timepiece of our
forefathers, just as the sky was to
them the signal station of the weather
bureau; and they were remarkably
knowing in regard to what could be
read in the sky as to the time of day
and coming changes of the air.
So long as the population of the
world roved in the forest, and labored
chiefly in the fields, timekeepers were
unnecessary; and it was ONLY when
people gathered in cities and found
that in the engrossing pursuits of the
shop, the laboratory and the studio they
could not keep track of the flight of
time, that instruments to record the
passing hours became useful,
The ancients used thu san dial, the
water-glass and the hour-glass; and
Alfred the Great employed candles
which would burn an hour apiece
Finally a machine run by weights was
employed; and Italy invented, and
northern Europe perfected, the tall
and solemn style of clock which they

and in the towers OF the cathedrals

Science and Religion,

have no thought, far less any fear,
that science is to usurp the power and
dominion of religion over the human
heart and mind. Religion is older
than science. 1t rocked the cradle OF
human life, and was man s first teach
er of the great lessons of right and
duty and love. 1t was a ray that kim
died the affairs of Heaven, beautifully
and benignly finding its way down in
to the savage heart of man, and with
its softcning and refining influences,
lifting h.ln slowly but surely to the
higher levels of life. This ray of light
has never gone out In darkness. 1t
has steadily increased in splendor and
glory. 1t made patriarchs better men.
1t made prophets holier men. 1t made
apostles stronger and wiser men. 1t
made men martyrs for truth. 1t has
found its way into human society, and
inspired the charities and philanthropy
les that bless the world. 1t has refined
and purified the human heart as no
other power ever has. 1t has lifted
man into the regions of broader VS.
ion, and so given him larger and no.
bier ideas of existence. 1t has devel-
oped the finer instincts and encouraged
the larger hopes of men. 1t has not
only made swpeter and dearer all the
relations of earth, and sanctified all the
affections of the heart. but it has open
ed up to mans vision another world
and another life, where these relations
and these affections may be enlarged
and eonsummated to the extent OF their
greatest possibilities. -fep. n. a..
