CHURCH UNITY.

The desirability of christian unity
among churches of different names has
been urged in the pulpit and by the
press. The needless expenditure Of
maintaining the machinery of so many
different denominations, between
whom there exists no point of vital
difference, must suggest itself to all
thinking people. The better class of
mind in the churches, it is believed
would welcome a movement for laying
aside non-essentials, and uniting on
common platform for carrying forward
the great moral and religious enter
prises of the day. Such movement
has taken form in the Episcopal
church. The Diocese Of Central Penn
sylvania, in full convention, has un.
animously adopted resolutions praying
the next General Convention of the
Episcopal church to appoint a com
mittee to enquire what obstacles tc
such a union exist, and how the hind
RANGES may be removed. 1t was
further resolved that a day be set
apart and christians of e0ery name in
vited to join in invoking God for
christian unity among all the churches
Here is a noble example get by
church which has sometimes been
charged with overmuch conservatism

FOURTH OF JULY.

Next Sunday will occur the one
hundred and tenth anniversary Of our
national independence. Where the
day is observed at all in its true spirit
it will be probably on the day pre-.
ceding or the day following the Fourth.
The commemoration of the day has
been widely departed from in later
years. There will be hundreds OF cele-
5rations (so-called) this year, as last,
which have no appropriation ess to In
dependence day more than any other
Of the three hundred and sixty-fve
days of the year. Independence day
is appropriated to ali possible uses.
Now and then youthful orator takes
the platform and tells the people what
a great country we have; how it has
grown from small beginnings to a
powerful nation, fearlessly facing th e
kingdoms and empires of Europe; our
vass domain extending from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and through many
degrees of latitude; our mighty rivers,
running from the Rocky Mountains to
the ocean; our vast chain OF great
lakes, each sea in size, together with

many other of natures magnificent en-
dowments. These are all well enough
for the orator to recount, provided he
does not convey the impression that
they are the result of American enter
prise and genius, but that these sublime
gifts of God were here before the
white man, and while the wild Indians
were the soyereigns Of all the country
between the great oceans. There are
times when it is fitting to discuss the
condition Of the country, its past sue.
cesses, and its prospective future des-
tiny. No intelligent citizen and true
patroit has a right to leave the future
to take care of itself. Ours is gov.
eminent OF the people, and on the pe0-
pie rests its future destiny. The per-
petuity of this government does not
depend on the increasing millions Of
population, or the vast accumulation
of wealth of its citizens. But it does,
as has often been said, rest largely on
the general diffusion of education ;
yet not on that alone. There needs to
go with it deeply impressed sense OF
moral responsibility Of duty to the
country. The good citizen will often
stop and inquire in this fast age
whittier are we driftings Are We
departing from the early landmarks
of the fathers of this nation?"

HOW TO EAT.

The primary act of digestion takes
place in the mouth. A simple state
ment, certainly, but one more import
ant than it may at first sight appear.
For in the mouth the food is, or ought
to be, slowly and properly nlasticated.
This not only renders it more fit to be
speedily acted upon by the juices OF the
stomach (gastric), but enables it to be
we'll mingled with the secretions of the
salivary and parotid glands. And what
do these secretions do? The answer is
this The saliva contains fermentive
agent, to which chemists have given the
name of "diastase." The property of
this diastase is that it changes the starch
of the food into sugar, or dextrine,"
which is " soluble" the former not being
30. A portion of this is actually absorb
ed into the blood from the mouth.
Again, this diastase is only active in an
alkaline versus an acid medium, an
other reason why it should be mingled
with the food in the mouth and not in
the stomach. Slow mastication, then, is
of the greatest importance if we would
live in health and avoid the horrors of
indigestion, with the thousand and one
ills, physical and mental, that follow in
its train. Take time to eat if you would
be happy. Take time to eat if you would
be well. Teach your children to do SO,
and explain to them the reason why.
A word Or two spoken to a child in a
quiet and reasoning strain will often
make very deep and lasting impress
sion.
I have letter before me, from which
/ will make an extract slam II years
of age" says the writer, and have very
few teeth, but my appetite and digestion
are good, which attribute to careful
feeding. I have found by experience
that all kinds of food, whether dry or
moist, should not be allowed to pass un-
til reduced to pulp and mixed with
the saliva"
Let me draw the readers attention to
the words " whether dry or moist" The
aged but healthful writer does not allow
even moist food to pass at once into the
stomach. He isright. But is it not the
common practice to bolt such food !?
Take, for example, a supper of porridge
and milk, or well-boiled hominy and
milk. How long do most people take
to eat such meal?-and mind this it
is most wholesome ono. Why, about
five minutes. Can they wonder that it
disagrees, that it creates acidity and
eructations, fatulence, and all sorts of
discomforts, not the least disagreeable of
which are restless nights and nightmare
dreams?

SELLING WOOL

in addition on declining market he
must necessarily lose by shipping un.
less he is entirely deprived of opportu-

"Grow ers who have shipped for sew

should not change their method. To do
