The Presbytery of San Francisco
has now upon its rolls two Chinese, one
Japanese, one Welsh, one Spanish and
one French church. All are prosperous.
Fully three-fourths of the mem.
bers of Baptist churches in this city, "
saws the New York Examiner, ''are peo-
pie that depend for their support on daily
labor"
Did anyone ever hear of church
accommodating q man for stealing
railroads, gambling in stocks, Turing the
public by crooked accounts, or laying
soiled money upon the altar of the Lord?

In the German Universities there

The Prussians make all children go
to school, but pay the teachers so poor

rious crops cultivated by the student

When one ear is deaf it is almost
uniformly the left. An immense num-
Der of persons rely upon the right to do
duty for the two. Persons who have
been deprived of the hearing of the left
ear for length of time can usually hear
sounds at a distance better than those
whose hearing is divided between two
ears, because the single ear has been
trained to az unusual sharpness.-Ch Chi

THUNDER STUDENTS.

A novel invitation is that of the
New England Meteorological Society.
which invites the public, and especialiv
young people, to watch thunder storms
and take barOmetric and thermOmetric
observations while it is in progress.
Most people, and especially children.
are more likely to take their observa-
uons on "A feather bed with their heads
under the clothes than facing the
StOrm-at least such is the general
habit now. The proposal of the tbun-
der students is therefore not likely to
meet with very overwhelming re-
spOnse.
Thunder always has scared timid
people and always will do so. but there
is great deal of nonsense ont in The
heads OF children which affects their
whole future lives in disagreeable
manner. OF course no one ought to be
foolish enough to hug the trunk of a
tree IN thunder storm, but children
certainly ought not to be taught to
Jump for the bedroom, shut the blinds
and curtains tight, take off everything
with metal in it, and Jump at anV
thunder clap, as so many are led to do.
II the new scheme of thunder-studv
can teach children that a thunder
storm IS quite as natural, and not much
more dangerous to individuals, than a
not sun IN the middle of a Summers
day, every father in the land ought to
BUY barometer and thermometer and
set the children at work next storm

POISON CLOTHING.

1t is surprising to find the number of
articles III daily use which contain
arsenic. 1t seems to be entering into
the composition of nearly everything.
1t Is used foolishy and needlessly in
majority, if not i'll all, cases. 1 find
candy toys colOred with it. Articles of
clothing are by no means free from it
Green tarletan has poisoned the peODle
who use it so frequently that it is sell
dom used rs part of an article of
apparel, but you will see it on the wall
church fairs for an ornament and il IS
not uncommon to see strips of it thrown
over cakes or candies to protect them
from the flies. The arsenical pigment
so loosely adheres to the cloth that a
portion of it will separate upon the
slightest disturbance. 1t is estimated
that twenty or thirty grains of the
poisonous pigment would separate in
an hour from a dress worn in a ball
room.
FOulard cambric contains arsenic.
and wearers of dresses made from il
have suffered from nasal catarrh.
pharyngitis and gastric irritation in CON
sequence. Painful irritation of the skin
is not infrequently caused by wearing
stockings colored with arsenical
pigments. Poison is most often found
in light red, magenta-colored and brown
stockings. Some cases Of death from
poisoning by this means have been
reported. Persons have been fatally
poisoned by the green flannel lining in
bOsts, by maroon flannel shirts, coat
sleeves, hat Innings and collars. Some
of paper collars and cuffs
introduce arsenic into the finishing in
order to impart Il brilliant gloss. 1t has
been discovered that the secret" which
so many ignorant laundry women guard
so closely, and upon n knowledge of
which they rely for producing beautiful
polish on linen, is the use of arsenic in
the starch
