''How Are You, Brother B?"

A certain minister, whose predeces-
sor had not been very successful, found
himself assigned, not long ago, to a
prominent church which had lost q
good deal OF its timper. The town was
apparently opposed to ministers in
general, and the good brother feared
his reception. A brother Mason heard
OF the situation and his fears, and wrote
letter to a way-up Mason of the
place. Brother B, 1.-THE ministerl is a
good fellow, and a Mason. having
taken the chapter degrees except the

mans arrival, he went to the depot to

members, but wherever the minister
went hehad the same greeting. "Why

a chapter meeting, and when he arriv-

Climate of England.

The first view of England indicates a
warm and agreeable climate. Yet all
that part of Europe is almost directly
opposite a coast OF perpetual ice, and
the wonder is we find the country with
any climate other than perpetual win
ter. 1t is due to the warmth and
moisture which the gulf stream brings
that the climate is endurable. Charles
II. once said that Il man can be out Of
doors more days in the year in Eng
land than i'll any other country onthe
globe The frost rarely penetrates
more than an inch or two. Water is
drawn from pipes out of doors all the
wear round. This climateis conducive
to the beauty OF the country, the
beauty of serene cultivated fields,
lovely lanes, shaded by enormous trees,
hedgerowed fields, a turf as glossy and
thick as anything possible on earth,
and wealth of wild flowers that be
gin in the earliest spring and last all
the year. And then the residences,
the vine-embowed, rose-smotheredc cot
tage. the houses of the Tudors and the
castles hoary with age; and the rivers,
not such as cities are built on, with
mills and lumber and logs, but like
the Avon. That is the beauty OF the
English landscape.

SententiOus Preaching.

Here are some of the sententious
savings of Rev. Samuel Jones, an I'M
educated Georgian who is conducting
an extraordinary revival at Nashville,
Tenn: "What is culture worth if it
nothin' but whitewash on a rascal?
I'd rather be in Heaven learnin' my A
b C's than in hell reading Greek. -
'Some preachers are so elegant that
they speak of hell as the burnt dis

starch of shroud. Heaven is on
dead level with every good man, and
every good man will be provided for in

How to Breathe.

One of Philadelphia leading ply
sicians, specialist in diseases of the
lungs, SAYS that imperfect respiration is
at TIE bottom Of much trouble. In such
a case he shows the patient how to
swell out the whole chest full and round
10y a deep inspiration, elevating and
throwing back the shoulders; and then,
when he has gotten into his lungs the
last atom of air possible, to hold it in
tightly for a little time, and then let it
off slowly. blowing ont every atom of
it if he possibly can by forcible expira-
ton. drawing the shoulders forward and
pressing in the chest to the smallest pos
sible compass, thus throwing ont al
most all of the residual air, aud all this
through the nose, with mouth tightly
closed. Let him take half dozen or
more such forced respirations dozen
times a day, says the doctor, "and he
viii soon double his vital capacity and
relieve himself OF most of his supposed
chest trouble. Such forced respiration
viii compel every air cell possible to
freely admit wholesome air into the
little spaces and to expel it also, and
some air cells that do not often perform
their functions healthy viii be compelled
to do So"

Where the Scorpion Gets His
Poison.

When be strikes you with the end Of
his tail, like Il gasp, he exudes a ven
omous liquid, and a n1an might better
hold a red-hot iron in his hand than
to get a tenth part OF drop of this
LIQUID into his blood. 1t is not neces-
sarily fatal, particularly in the Bahia
mas; but ii eondenses the heat offorty
furnaces fn some parts OF South
America scorpion bites are frequently
fatal, but I have not heard OF any one
having beer killed by them in Nassau.
This is easily accounted for. The
scorpion likes to feed on deeayed wood.
In South America, where dSewoods
and other poisonous woods abound.
the scorpion feeds upon thom, and
thus work into themselves a good sup
ply OF outside poison, which, taken to-
eether with his naturally poisonous
LIQUID. does its work for whoever is
unfortunate enough to be stung. But,
in Nassau, such poisonous woods are
few, ana the scorpions have TO tatten
themselves respectfully on pine, cedar
and mahogany From d Nassau Let
