Cream and Cold weather.

What a luxury is bath in summer.
Surely, but greater luxury is a clear head
in winter, just when almost everybody is
sneezing and snufliDg with cold in the
head. When you are attacked use Elys
Cream Balm. 1t cures cold In the head, and
what is better, it cures the worst cases of
Chronic Catarrh and Hay-Fever. Not a
liquid. Not snuff. Pleasant TO use. Quick
relief. Radical cure.

LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN.

A correspondent writes from Iceland de-
scribing voyage around the island. The
fords or bays, in which all but the south
coast of the island abound, are narrow arms
of the sea, running far in between the
mountain chains that radiate from the land
like the fingers from ones palm, only not
with the same regularity. Not more than
few miles wide at the mouth, they grow
gradually narrower as they proceed, in
land, until terminating at the foot of a
small valley beyond. To get some idea of
this lay your hand, palm downward, upon
table and slightly spread the fingers. Now
your hand represents the island and the ta-
Bile the sea, and calling the distance from the
tips Of the fingers to their junction with the
hand twenty miles you have some idea of
proportions, except, perhaps, that the noun
tains are very high.
Everywhere these mountains rise abrupt
ly from the sea, often standing a perpen-
dicular wall hundreds of feet in height,
and then sloping gradually back to the
peaks above. Here and there along the
sides on some slope less steep than the rest,
sdr; ounded by few acres of ground, which
presents no very striking contrast to the
lava waste surrounding it, can be seen the
turf covered huts Of the Icelandic farmer;
and at the end of the fiord-on the web be-
tween the fingers-stands the cluster of well
built houses forming the village which sup
plies the surrounding country with most OF
the necessaries of life. These houses are
generally owned by foreigners and some
times by one mana company of NorWe-
gianS who work the fisheries about the is
land during the summer, or Danish mer-
chant who may have several trading sta
tiOns along the coast. Often on passing the
end of the promontories which separate the
fiords, a small farm can be seen lodged on
the slope high above the water, or in some
small valleys between the mountains,
where none but an Icelander would think it
possible to live. Here, on spot that cam
not be reached from the sea, except in very
calm weather, and which is inaccessible
from the land several months in the year,
these people live contented and seemingly
satisfied to spend their days as their faith
ers have done before them, though very
we'll acquainted, by reading, with other
and more inviting countries.
TO one who has always lived in country
were night and day perform their proper
functions, such strange antics of the meter
illogical phenomena are, to say the least,
decidedly novel.
One hardly knows when to go to bed,
and, indeed, one, two and three often finds
us wide awake as ever, pacing the deck,
while the sun, after descending from the
west and bowling along the northern hori-
zon for an hour or more, is already mount
irg the heavens with long majestic, east
ward sweep.

How PLUG HATS ARE MADE.-To make
the silk stove-pipe hats, large square of
muslin is dipped into shell lac, wrung out
and then stretched over a wooden frame
to dry After drying it is cut into sizes
and shapes suitable for the various parts Of
the hat. Some pieces are cut on the bias for
the crowns Of hats, others are stitfened par
ticularly for the brims, while the muslin
for the central cylinders, which are the
sides, is cut into oblong squares. The ma
terial for dozen Of these hats is then given
to workman, who draws the frame of the
hat together around the block and fastens it
by means of a hot iron. The shell of the
hat, as it is called, is then vanished and
dried, making it stiff. and then the silk
plush is put on, man ironing it to the
she'll lac-covered shell and sponging with
waterat every stroke of the iron. Girls sew
in the brim after the sides of the she'll have
been fastened, and the seams are gone over
with hot iron, which conceals all traces
of them. The brm is then curled, as in the
case of the felt article, and then the hat
goes away to the luering machine, where
polish brushes, revolving rapidly, give it
a high polish. From the luering machine
it goes to the hands of girl who trims it
and puts in the fling.

THE WORTH OF A CONVICTION.

1t is true on the lowest plane OF life as on
the highest, that according to mans faith
it will be unto him. His power in the
world-his power over himself, his power
over others, his power over difficulties
may almost unvaryingly be measured by
his convictions. If he believes something
believes it with all his heart-he is a pow
cr in the direction of that belief. If he
lacks convictions; if he does not believe
anything so positively that his belief has
possession of him-that it takes hold of his
whole mind and soul, and makes him ready
to do everything, to endure everything, and
to dare everything in its behalf-all the
talents in the world will not make that man
a great man, or enable him to accomplish a
great work in the world.
A man on a farm could not break colt
or drive an ON-team if he were really in
doubt of his ability to do it. No clerk in a
store could sell goods to any advantage un-
less he were convinced that those goods
must be sold and that he is the man to sell
them. \ book agent without the convic-
ton that the volume he offers meets the su-
preme want Of the universe, and that a copy
of it must be left at the next house he visits,
might as we'll go out Of the business to be-
gin with. If the foreman of a fire-engne
company lacks the belief that he and his
men, with their machine, can quickly
bring the flames under, there is little pros
pect of his getting ahead Of the flames in Il
hard struggle. The power of a military
commander over his soldiers, and in the
wise use Of them, depends absolutely on his
confidence in himself as their competent
commander, and on his conviction that
with them he can surely compass the work
they have undertaken. In matters of Opin-
ion, it is even truer than in matters of ac-
ton that mans power is limited to his
convictions. \ firm conviction of Il great
truth is properly said to give "backbone" to
a man; and he who does not have positive
beliefs belongs at best to the invertehrate
order of beings Even if his convictions
are all wrong, Il man with convictions COM
mands a certain respect and admiration
which cannot be given to one who is on the
right side without heartily believing in the
right. 1t seems nObler for a man to stand
erect and firm, although over against you,
than for him to crawl ut your side in help
less, habbiness of moral structure. And the
man who believes something is a growing
man, gaining constantly though the uplift-
ing and expanding power of soul-posSes-
ing conviction. Some of the men of larg-
est brain, of most varied talents, Of the
richest intellectual requirements, and of the
grandest opportunities of the present gen
Grafton, have utterly failed to do a great
life-work, and to secure a permanent place
in history, through their lack of absorbing
convictions. They may have shown them
selves familiar with law and diplomacy and
literature ; they may have held high Of

In the deepest, darkest hour OF woe,

But come to me, tho ] lie low.
For nv heart is welded to thee
Bv love that is warm and true;
Death alone can sever from me
One who's so dear to me as you!
There are scenes and sunny places :,
On which fond memory loves to dwell
Sparkling ewes and sunny faces
That long have charmed and pleased me we'll
But mid sorrow and detection
There is nothing can me beglllle
Like the seductive, sweet ref1ectlon
Radiating from thy gracious smile.
Then, my dearest hasten hither,
o come, and come without delay,
And bestow upon me ever
Thv sweet smiles by night and day.
o do grant me this favor
While l wander here below
And let thy spirit hover over
And shield me from every zoe!

MCCLELLAN AND GRANT.-The follow
ing anecdote told by Ex-Governor Van
Zandt, of Rhode Island, has much sgnifi-
canoe and no little interest at this time. At
Richfiled Springs, Gen. Mcclellan, in con-
versation with his friends, said:
81 knew Grant very well at West Point.
Upon my appointment as commander OF
the Army of the Potomac, | left headquar-
ters and went to Washington to confer with
the President and with the Secretary of
War, and was absent more than week.
During the absence Gen. Grant left Galena
and came to my headquarters, as he after
wards informed me, for the purpose of ask
ing me either for an appointment on my
staff, or, failing in that, a contract to supply
the army with certain necessaries out OF
which he could make livelihood. lie re-
mained there several days awaiting my re-
turn, until he received telegram from
Senator Yates, Of Illinois, requesting him
to return Immediately as he had secured for
him commission as captain Of company
of Illinois soldiers. He left Immediately,
without seeing me, and we did not meet
again for long time. If l had been at my
headquarters | would have cheerfully given
him an appointment on my staff, and with
his well known loyalty and devotion to any
one who befriended him, he would have
adhered to my fortunes, and would have
gone down with me and the world would
never have known what a great General ne
was"
The agnostic would probably call this an
accident; the Mohammedan would call it
fate; the nationalist would call it destiny

explanation that "God moves in mysterl-
Gus way His wonders to peform. ."-.lHyHSfd
