Something About Castor Oil.

The average boy has an idea that cas-
tor oil was got up for the torture of all
kids who have careful mothers to protect
them from the fell destroyer. He is
mistaken, like majority of grown peo-
pie, who only regard castor oil as a med
icine. Only very small proportion of
it is consumed in that manner. Castor
oil forms one Of the best lubricators, and
IS used for greasing wagons and other
purposes where the price does not pro-
hibit it. Then it is burned as an illumi-
nator. not only by the Jews for their
Sabbath lamp but elsewhere. In India,
where large quantities of the seed are
raised, the oil is added to the native con-
diments to flavor them. 1t is also made
into an illuminating gas in India. In
this country castor oil is used to dress
morocco leather. California, Kansas,
Iowa and Illinois are the principal Sec
tons of this country where the seed is
raised, and the castor oil presses at Bel
vile, Ills, are among the most extensive
in the world. New York Graphic.

An Old Superstition.

Once more, as the presidential cam
paign opens, we hear the old familiar
prophesies from business men of pre-
sumed intelligence that there is sure to
be a general depression in trade for the
next five months in consequence Of the
impending election. 1t would be inter-
esting to'know how this curious idea got
root in the minds of sensible people. 1t
is certainly pure superstition, and what
ever actual depression presidential cleo
ton brings to business is only what is
caused by acting on that superstition as
truth. If business men persist in de.
luding themselves into the idea that
trade is bound to be dull, it certainly
will be. But there is no real reason why
it should be so.-Providence Journal.

Figures Concerning Vaccination.

We are at last getting some very accu-
rate comparative statistics concerning
vaccination. In Canton Zurich, Switzer-
land, there was compulsory vaccination
up to 1888. In that year not one death
occurred from smallpox. The anti-vac-
cinationists then secured repeal of the
requirement. The next year. 1888, there
were two deaths per thousand from
smallpox; in 1884 three deaths out of
every thousand; in 1885 seventeen, and
in 1886 eighty-five. This is a warning
that should be studied, especially by our
Canadian neighbors. But when preiu-
dice has to be overcome, even statistics
are valueless. Law must be applied to
save many people from their own self
will. They might be left to consequences,
only for the spread of contagion to others.

Beyond the Sierras' crest,
Where dwells who is dearer far
To my heart than to Evening her one white star.
OH Wind, in your wandering quest
Have you kissed those lips that loved the besti
Have you tossed those locks have oft caresseds
Lost to me now for aye,
Only my Dreams may stray
Light as your wing, oh, Wind of the West,
Wild as your wing in its sad unrest,
To the One love the best.

Attention to Sanitation.

Within late years we have learned that
contagious diseases are vastly more
durable and less liable to spread, when
treated in shelter tents than in our homes
or hospitals and we are more and more
caring for the ventilation Of our dwellings
and school houses and churches prefer
ring the sunny side of our houses for
sleeping rooms.
We are building our cities with wider
streets, and providing access to clear sum
shine and pure air in extensive parks.
We are, moreover, demanding more
scientific and faithful plumbing, and
looking out better for the condition of our
cellars. Lut we have not reached the
limit of what is possible or desirable in
this matter.-Youths Companion.

Better Than They Appear.

All men are better than they appear
on the surface. The world has been too
much with them. The divine soul finds
itself choked and stifled by the accidents
Of temperament and environment; it is
disheartened by the multitudinous con-
tradictions in this paradoxical world; the
brain is stupid and muddled and fails to
recognize the right; the flesh is weak;
nevertheless the divine soul dwells latent
below the surface, and may flare out at
any moment in some sudden and I'M
