The hall of Christ Church College lives in
memory with more distinctness than any,
thing l saw at Oxford. The entire Me-
mortal suggests the loftiness of conception
and generosity of spirit of its great
founder, Wolsev, but we have time only
to refer to the dining chamber, which is at
the same time one Of the great picture
galleries of England. There are hung 120
portraits, representing nearly every master
from Holbein to Sir Martin Shee. This
college being the official residence of the
Sovereign when at Oxford, the great hall
has been the scene of festivities scarcely
equaled in English history.
In the dome of the tower gateway hangs
the great bell of Oxford, the mighty

clapper 342 pounds. Every night, at ten
minutes past 8, Tom tolls 1O1 times, that
being the number of students on the
ancient foundation; and at the sound the
gates are closed.
There are thousand things worth
seeing in every nook of this yener-
able pile; but we hasten to Trinity
College and thence to st. Johns, whose
buildings are chiefly arranged in two
quadrangles, and then to Jesus and further

more, we shall always cherish in our hearts
a loving place for what Oxford has done

a Warning.

The modes of deaths approach are va
rious, and statistics show conclusively that
more persons die from diseases of the
throat and lungs than any other. 1t is
probable tha. everyone, without exception,
receives vas; numbers of tubercle germs
into the system, and where these germs
fall upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is shown
by slight tickling sensation in the throat
and if allowed to continue their raysges
they ext end to the lungs, producing con-
sumption. and to the head, causing
catarrh. Now all this is dangerous, and if
allowed to proceed will in time cause death.
AT the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing cold to go without atten-
ton is dangerous, and may lose you your
life. As soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils,

How to Cure FfckIeness,

A correspondent is in trouble-troubIe OF
a serious but not an uncommon sort. lie
writes:
No matter what | take in hand, | soon

trade; but wandering inclination-ae con-
slant hankering for change-makes it i'm.

upon my work. The result is that have

ickleness of mind, much as | fight against
1t, seems likely to be my lifelong curse.
Can you tell me, as well as thousands
OF other readers, how to acquire the ability
to stick to one thing? If so, you will do
Ms m incalculable favor"
Evidently our correspondent needs no
homily upon the mischievous effects of
fckleness and indecision. So far he is better
off than some of his companions in misery.
Now if he will really be free from the
slavery into which he has fallen, let him
begin at the beginning, and set about ac-
quiring, little by little, the habit of acting
according to reason instead of listening to
every idle breath of impulse and passion
There Is no jumping into such habit.
The very word implies something to which
man must habituate himself. The will,
like the memory of any other faculty, is to
be strengthened by exercise. Let him
begin, then, to exercise his will, in other
words, to act decidedly, both as to matters
in general, and, especially, as to the matter
of his daily employment
He has settled it that his present occu-
patton is one for which he is well fitted.
Very well. Now let him act accordingly.
treating all impulses to change as so many
temptations to foolishness. What if he
has forty such impulses every day? He
may still keep at his work, determined to
excel in it.
The gymnast may feel never so lazy as
he strips for his hour of exercise but if he
keeps at the pulley weights and the dumb
bells, his muscles will be strengthened, his
lazy feeling to the contrary notwithstand-
ing; and the probability is that he will
not work very long before his listless mood
will have passed away and been forgotten.
Let our friend who wishes to strengthen
his will follow the same course. What he
has to fear is not so much idle impulses as
idle actions. His impulses, it may be, he
cannot help; his actions, like the gym
nast's, are within his own power.
Whether it be mans arms or his will
that is under discipline, the result is
question only of time and patience

A Cosy Corner.

Many who thoroughly believe and gen.
orally practice the old adage, "a place for
everything and everything in its place"
when writing materials come under con-
sideration locate them very inconveniently.
Houses otherwise finely appointed often
contain no place designed especially for
writing or study. This is particularly
unwise if the family contain children, for
we are creatures of habit, and if in youth
letter-writing and home-study are rendered
difficult we rarely take kindly to them in
later life.
If there is room with a writing-desk
conveniently arranged, with a good die
tionary, an atlas and a cyclopedia within
easy reach, the school exercise will stand
better chance of preparation, the letter
to absent friends will be more easily
written and the little note of acknowi-
edgment Of some gift will not seem so
burdensome. Ink on closet shelf, writ
ing paper in a bureau drawer, pens rusty
and only forthcoming after a vigorous
exercise of memory, and stamps reposing
in the pocket-books of the heads of the
family, are not conducive to letter-writing.
Many of us are so situated that a whole
room could not be devoted to this purpose:
nor for want of money could we develop
our ideal library with its beautiful pic
lures, fine statuary, bookcases filled with
the works of the best authors a writing
table with every convenience, globes, maps
and all the aids that to-day can be brought
to the students help. But we can set
apart well-ighted corner of our sitting
room, to which We can bring, if the con-
venient desk cannot be ours, an ordinary
kitchen table transformed by means of a
little paint or stain for the woodwork
aud felt for the top into verv fair
substitute The large drawers with
which such a table is usually provided
can be divided into compartments
suited to the different kinds of stationery.
With an ink-bottle Of sufficient weight not
to be easily upset, a japanese tray for
pen-holder and pencils, dictionary on
one corner, our table is complete. A chair
Of proper hight should be kept in front of
the table to be ready when wanted. If you-
have bookcase, bring it near this corner;
If you have moi, ,one can easily be manufact-
ured at home that will answer every pur-
pose, and when filled with your favorite
books, will be a great addition to the room.
for there is more of the furnishing power
In books that are well used than in any
costly furniture or fancy work that MANY
people pile into their homes. Once try
this arrangement, and how you ever got
along in the old way will be constant
source of wonderment.
