How IScANDE=cEscE Il PRoDUcED.-The
ineandescent electric light has become a
familiar object TO everyone. The little
glass bulbs with their brilliant horseshoes
of glowing filament attract no more atten-
ton thet the Pickering gas jet, but the facts
about the gas Jet are easily and generally
understood, while the electric LAMP is still
puzzle to many people. Both produce
light by incandescence. The molecules OF
gas are rendered incandescent by tie heat
generated by the combustion of other mole
cules. The blue portion of every gas fame
is where combustion is taking place, and
from there comes the heat which keeps the
rest in state of adolescence. With the
electric lamp it is the hea. produced by the
friction of an electric current compelled to
go through fine carbon filacnent. which
raises that filement to condition OF incan-
descence and produces light

THE TEETH. - The teeth should be
brushed twice g day. The proper time Scr
this is on rising in the morning and on re
firing at night. IL the morning WASH
may be used. Brush gently over the crowns
of the teeth. This removes any mucus
that has collected duning the night, and
leaves the mouth in refreshed condition.
Just before retiring a toeth-powder should
be employed, and particles of food that
have lodged between the teeth removed,
which, when left for severa: hours, result
in the fermentation of an acid, which
caGses softening of the tooth STRUCTURE, and
thus promotes decay. After eating. quill
tooth-pick and floss silk should be used for
removing the debris.-Dr. Gilbert.

And in the rich adieu of day
he cast his princely suit away
And plunged into the tide.
Then from an ambush lightly leapt,

Who seized Truths panoply,
And said . This is my style and size,
At once an armor and disguise,
And Luck bequeaths it me-"
And presently when, fresh and cool.
Truth issued from the placid pool
Shaking his radiant hair,
He found in lieu of vestment white,
wherewith his form was erst bedight,
Deceit's apparel there.
" Alas T. he cried. "my garb is gone,
And this never shall put on,
Let people blush who may"
And thus 1t is the Lie, forsooth,

The total number of places where iRtox-
icants are sold in the State. where the
revenue law has been complied with. is
now 3.00s. This is probably about 20 yer
cent. of the number of places in the Susie
where intoxicants are sold and the law Is
not complied with.
The evidence of these figures is convinc-
ing to any man open to conviction that
prohibition, as a factor in Ssremoting tenn
perance, is failure.
On the opposite hand, il IL proved by
Ggures as authentic as those .aEoted that in

the total number, and at the sssae time the

Tie people of Texas may say sor them
selves whether they will cut down the
number OF places where liquor is seld, and
increase Their revenue from that source by

Of all Thou gayest me
My goods my life, my soul and heart,

We fast and plead, we weep and pray,
From morning until even
We feel to find the holy way
We knock at the gate of heaven
And when in silent awe we wait,
And word and sound fOrbear,
The hinges Of the golden gate
Move, soundless to our prayer
Who hears the eternal harmonies
Can heed no outward word
Blind to all else is he who sees
The vision of the Lord
O soul, be patient, restrain thy tears
Have hope, and not despair
As a tender mother heareth her child
God hears the penitent prayer
Aud not forever shall grief be thine;
On the Heavenly Mothers breast,
Washed clean and white in the waters of joy,
Shall his seeking child find rest.
Console thyself with His words of grace,
And cease thy wall of Woe
For His mercy never an equal hath,
And His love no bounds can know.
Lean close unto Him in faith and hope
How many like thee have found
IN Him shelter and home of peace
By His mercy comprised round
There, safe from sin and the sorrow ii brings
They sing their grateful psalms,

very guarded in the use of water, lest they

due to the fact of this peculiar substratunl
that the soil of Fresno irrigated districts

the hardpan is softer, resembling loose
sandstone; through this the water seeps
freely. In the central and southern part
of the county are large areas of white, ashy

Some OF the Pecullaritics OF the Grea
Operate Composer.
From 1929 to 1860, with few evcep
tions, Meyerbeer passed the summer
months every year at Spa An eye
witness thus describes him: He was
invariably dressed in an ill-fitting black
frock coat. with black silk neckcloth
wound several times round his throat,
high and stiff shirt-collars, and tight
trousers with straps. His gloves were
many sizes too large for him. and he
wore a tall silk hat falling not overgrace-
fully on the nape of his neck. He always
carried huge cotton umbrella under
his left arm when he didn't use it as
walking stick. When on foot he sham
bled along with lettering step as if he
were blind; but his usual mode Of loco
motion was an insecure seat on a
donkey, his legs dangling almost on the
ground. in which guise he might reg
ularly be seen of an afternoon in the
Alice du Marteau." Jules Janin used
to relate with great glee shat during
his stay at Spa, on returning
from an excursion in the neigh
borhood. he asked his servant
if any one had called. Nobody worth
speaking Of" was the contemptuous
answer, "only the queer old fellow on a
donkey with large umbrella!"
Among the composers peculiarities was
. horror of cats, the mere sight of one
throwing him into nervous fit. He
was as rule silent in company, and
disliked being brought in contact with
inquisitive people. One of these.

solitary constitutional in the Champs

Rev. Sam Jones was q poor boy

ten hard words for to every good one
spoken in his behalf. He was the very
synonym of mischief and audacity,
with modicum of sharp, native wit.
that had grown with his growth in sue
ceeding years. He cared precious little
about his books, as our experience will
testify in a short term of pupilage in
our school directly after the surrender.
To his credit we will say he never for
got his respect or obedience to us, and
an earnest request or calm statement of
the case would cause him to desist from
victimizing the smaller boys with his
tobacco juice or from playing clown in
the pantomime on the sly during school
hours, which was a never-ceasing temp
tation to his keen sense of the ridicu-
lous. His good nature always cropped
ont when suffering or trouble was
present.
The writer will never forget visit he
period of his boyhood. to tell us he was
thankful and comforted to know we
were convalescing from serious illness
in which our life was despaired of, and
even at the time mentioned we were
not fairly out of danger of an early and
untimely grave. The weather was Sc
we're, bitter, extremely cold. but the
young man brought his frank. bright
face into the sick-room like veritable
ray of sunshine, to tell us that our
school-boys were all so glad we were
still alive. There was in him the germ
of something noble and elevated. and
when he joined the church, within half
q mile of our own door. at little ccun-
try chapel. we felt that the germ would
expand into something that would be
peculiarly his own-'.he would either
make spoon or spoil a horn" How
much spoon last Sundays crowd can
tell.
Eight years ago, when he was peg
ging away on q poor little circuit. he
came again to see us, to pay his re-
spects to the late Governor Stephens.
We watched the two. as Mr.. Stephens
rolled to and fro on the back veranda,
in his invalid char, listened to Sans
description of dog fight that had
fallen under his observation. There
was . magnetism in both that quickly
found play, and after the visitors re-
tired Mr.. Stephens was very eulogistic.
