John CAinaman's Pen.

The pen with which John makes his
tea-marks is a curiosity. 1t is a hair
brush placed in a quill, and is very
much like the little brushes sold with
TOW paints. When he writes he never
touches his fingers nor wrist to the pa
per, but grasps the quill in the middle
and begins to paint very much like an
artist retouching picture. Singularly
enough, there is not an instance of a
Chinamar being unable to write his
language, and many of the laundry
men who speak pigeon English can
read and write our language quite
we'll.

Presbyterians On Peace.

A committee on Peace appointed by
the London Meeting Friends, pre-
pared a Memorial urging the apoption
of Arbitration as substitute for War,
in all cases of international disputes.
Copies of this were presented to the,
Pan-Anglican Conference of Bishops
of the Church of England and to the
Pan Presbyterian Conference, held in
London in the month of July. The
bitter body adopted the following favor
able resolution respecting it: 8
cat Exeter Hall, Condor, July 18th,
1883. The General Council of the
Alliance of Reformed Churches hold
ing the Presbyterian system being met
and constituted: Resolved inter alia::
THE Council, having considered the
the Memorial from the Society of;
Friends on the subject of Peace and
the use of Arbitration as q substitute
for War, are happy to express their
entire and hearty concurrence with
the sentiments of their brethren. We
hail with joy the settlements of In
ternational disputes already effected
without an appeal to arms, and see no
reason why this method of adjustment
should not be applied in all cases what
soever. In view, therefore, of the
many miseries of war, and of the in
tolerable burdens which preparation
for it imposes upon the nations, they
commend the whole subject to the
sympathies and prayers of the
Churches they represent, in the hope
that He whom we worship as the
Prince of Peace will more and more
incline the hearts both of people and
rulers to settle all their differences
by an appealto reason and forbearance,
and not by force, .,-EGtrdcted from the
Minutes of the Council, ". @. Blake,
D. d., one Of the Clerks Of ConacA."

Concerning Noise.

II can bear the heat very well" ," SAID
4 student forced 10 spend summer III
the city, "but I can not endure the
noise" Possibly he did not stop to
consider that, in making such a decla
ration, he placed himself, in illus
trious company. Thomas Carlyle
''could not abide" noise, especially
that of the morning growing of cocks.
Wallenstein, accustomed as he was to
the din of battle, bad an unconquera-
bic dread of the barking of dogs, and
even the clatter of the large spurs
fashionable in his day. In order to
ensure quiet, he engaged twelve pa
trolls to make regular circuits about his
house night and day.
Neither Julius Caesar nor the philos-
opher, Kant, could tolerate the crow
ing of poor chanticleer, who. indeed,
seems to have very few friends among
the siudious and sensitive.
Schopenhauer exceeds almost all
lovers of quiet in the extravaganza of
his denunciation of noise. He de-
clares that the amount which a man
can bear with ease is in inverse ratio
to his mental power.
"If hear a dog barking for hours
on the threshold of house." he
writes, ~ know we'll enough what
kind of brains I may expect from its
inhabitants"
A writer in the Popular Science
Monthly asserts that noise is one of the
most injurious influences of city life.
1t may not be sufficiently loud to at
tract the attention of those accustom-
ed to it, but, if continuous, it acts as
inevitably upon the nervous system as
water in dropping upon stone.
Experiments made upon animals
show that when they have been sub
jected, for number of hours, to the
vibration of tuning-fork, their nerve
centers became irritated, as certainly
as muscular fibers would be affected
by an acid or an electric shock.
The injurious effect of ordinary
noises has been recognized by the au-
thorities of European cities, and, in
some cases, the nuisance has been sup
pressed. Heavily laden carts are not
admitted to certain streets of Berlin,
and in others they are only allowed to
pass on condition that the horses walk.
The street-cars of Munich have no
bells, and those of US who live in
places where these bells are not used
on Sunday can testify to the relief at
tendant on the consequent "peace and
quiet"
The amount of the matter seems to
be that the city dweller must regard
noise as one of necessary evils of his
condition-one to be borne philosophi-
cally, and requiring large stock Of
grace and patience. Happy, indeed,
are they who, through the long, hot
months, are only disturbed in their
morning slumbers by the song of
the birds, or the growing of cocks.

REMEDIES FOR BURNs.-l. Wet the

Irish potato and crate it; put the
grated pulp on the burn, renewing it

Carful observation leaves little doubt
that a moderate dose of beer or wine
would, in most cases, at once diminish
the maximum weight which u healthy
person could lift. Mental acuteness,
accuracy of perception, and delicacy
of the sense are all so far opposed by
alcohol, so that the maximum efforts
of each are incompatible with the indi-
gestion of any moderate quantity of
fermented liquid. A single glass will
often suffice to take the edge off both
mind and body, and to reduce their ca
pacity to something below their perfec-
ton of work.-Dr. W Brinton.

Ten True Friends.

Ten true friends you have
Who, five in q row,
Upon each side of you
Go where you go.
Suppose you ale sleepy.
They help you to bed;
Suppose you are hungry.
They sec that you're fed.
They wake up your dolly
And put ON her clothes,
And trundle her carriage
Wherever she goes.
They buckle your skatc-straps,
And haul at your sled:
Are in summer quite white,
And in winter quite red.
Now, with ten willing servants
SO trusty and true,
Pray, who would be lazy
Or idle-Would you?
Would you find out the name
OF this kind little band?
Then count up the fingers
On each little hand.

 When the Bostons were at Washington Sam Wise discovered little darkey who looked as if he might be lucky. Sam put him on the bus and the kid accompanied the team to Capital Park.

"The h-l he is, replied Jim, whereupon he lifted the alleged mas cot and dropped, him, clothes and all, into the big bath used by the players. The diminutive darkey crawled out dripping and laid himself in the sun for repairs "His luck won't wssh," quoth Whitney and sure enough it didn't. Sam Wise said afterward that the little fellow applaudsd the Senators throughout and was tickled tc death when the Washingtons won.
