Sanitary Measures-The Heart.

To the EditOr " tic OfSpGtch:
The heart is q hollow, muscular organ,
which, by its contraction, sends the blood
to every portion of the body. An inge-
MUS arrangement of its valves allows the
blood to flow outwardly, but by their
closure prevents its reorganization. 1t
was formerly considered as seat of the
emotions from the fact of its intimate
connection with the brain and its sus-
ceptibility to disturbance from any cause
of nervous excitement. Science has dis
PEELED that illusion and shown that its
Office in the body is chiefly mechanical.
SO important is the duty of this little
organ that its work is incessant, except
ing brief interval of respite between
every two beats The tired muscles may
rest, the wearied brain may find repose,
but from the earliest inception Of life TO
the moment OF death the heart mist con-
time its work.
Like the brain, it is far less liable to
ordinary diseases than the other organs
and, as its functions are chiefly mechsDi-
cal, its LESSONS are more difficult of cure.
A very common cause OF heart-disease is
rheumatism. especially in the acute form.
This renders it important that medical
aid should be promptly secured in that
disease to avert the danger of this COM
plication.
The highly emotional and exciting life
OF modern times is also frequent cause
of heart trouble. It's sympathy with the
brain is so close that it cannot fail to be
powerfully impressed by an excited con-
dition of that organ.
Violent and excessive muscular exer-
ton also affect the heart injuFiously by
the strain which is thereby pat upon it.
Frequent cases OF hypertrophy result
from this cause. Al. ID.

The Native African ms Deacon.

When 1t first became apparent UNIV
the eyaneelization OF Africa by means
Of white men was marked by such
terrible loss of life-for in the earlier
times of African missions the mortality
was much greater than in these days OF
ampler knowledge-the idea arose that
the same end might be attained, with
less sacrifice, by raising up teachers
evangelists, and pastors from among the
natives themselves. This idea, theoreu-
callv a good one, was taken up with en-
thusiasm. A negro bishop was con-
secrated, negro archdeacons were or
dained, a large ministry OF negro clergy
was formed for service in Western Africa.
Almost every mission working IN the
dark continent began to employ natives
Of their own training as schoolmasters,
catechists, readers, and deacons. just
as. about the same time, commerce was
10 be developed between the white trader
on the coasts and the natives OF the In
terror by means of negro commercial
travellers. hnguisteirOs, and middle
men. so. in like manner, the Christian re-
hgion was to be spread among those that
sat in darkness by the Jealous efforts
of negro evangelists, who were to radlate
in their proselytizing paths from a few
well-chosen centres on the coast presided
over by white men. But IN neither
career, evangelistic nor commercial, did
the native helpers prove success. In
both cases have white men found that
the negro ally was broken reed. l
regret to say that with few-very rare
exceptions those native African pastors,
teachers. and catechists whom | have
met have been all more or less BAD men.
They attempted to veil an unbrldled im-
morality with an unblushing hypocrisy
and profane display of "mouth' religion
which TO an honest mind, seemed even
more disgusting than the immortality 1T
self. While it was apparent that not one
particle of true religion had made its way
INTO their gross minds, it was also evil
dent that the spirit OF sturdy manllness
which was present in their savage fore
fathers found no place IN their false,
cowardly natures. These are strong
words, but they are not written down
without reflection. The exceptions to
whom these structures do not apply
it would be invidious TO name, but 1
might mention that they are men OF an
altogether different stamp to the half
taught native teacher, and have them
selves received their education and train
ing in England l trust it will be OBJ
served that in expressing these condemna-
tory views ! have abstained from arbi
trarily associating the color of a
missionay's skin with the worth
OF his character. l draw atten-
ton to this reserve, because some
Of the best, hardest working, most
satisfactory, and sensible missionaries |
have known have been West Indians
in color AS dark as the Africans they had
come to teach, but in goodness OF heart
and mind capacity fully equal to their
European colleagues. But then these
men were several generations removed
from the uncivilized negro, and were as
much strangers to Africa and African
habits as the average European.
