This is known, with few changes
Extreme Arctic Cold.

A person who has never been in the
polar regions can probably have no
idea of what cold really is; but read
ing the terrible experiences of arctic
travellers in that icy region, some no.
ton can be formed of the extreme cold
that prevails there. When we have
the temperature down to zero out of
doors, we think it bitterly cold, and if
our houses were not as warm as at
least so degrees above zero, we should
begin to talk of freezing to death.
Think, then, of living where the ther-
emometer goes down to 35 deg. below
zero in the house in spite of the stove.
OF course, in such a case the fur gar
ments are piled on man till he looks
like great bundle of skins.
DR.. Moss, of the English polar expe-
dition of 1875 and 1876, among other
odd things, tells of the effect on a wax
candle which he burned there. The
temperature was 35 degrees below zero,
and the doctor must have been consid-
earbly discouraged when, upon looking
at his candle, he discovered that the
flame had all it could do to keep
warm. It was so cold that the flame
could not melt all the wax OF the can
die, but was forced to eat its way down
the candle, leaving a sort of skeleton
of the candle standiug. There was
heat enough, however, to melt oddly
shaped holes in the thin walls of wax,
and the result was a beautiful lace like
cylinder of white, with a tongue of
yellow flame burning inside, and send
ing out into the darkness many streaks
of light. This is not only curious eff
feet of extreme cold, but shows how
difficult it must be to find any thing
like warmth in place where fire it.

Parents Take Note.

DIR. Samuel Sexton has contributed
an article to the Medical Record on
the subject of boxing the ears. He has
upon his records fifty one cases in
which the ear has been injured by
blows of the open hand or fist. OF
these, thirty-one were males, and
twenty females. Of the males, thir-
teen had been boxed upon the right
ear, thirteen upon the left, and three
upon both ears. One was kicied.by a
companion upon the left ear While
bathing, and the right ear of another
was injured by having the head vio-
lently squeezed between the hands OF
another person. Of the females, four
teen were struck upon the left ear, and
slA upon the right. Five Of the wo-
men were assaulted by their husbands.
Of the entire number, eight were box
ed in play, four by school teachers,
two by parents, and one, a fervent low
ny LIS SNSSlhSdll. SCfSidl SetSN'7
occurred among pugilists, and others
were due to assaults and brawls. The
nature of the injuries varied to con-
siderable degree. One had intiamma-
ton of the ear, with suspicion of in
tracranial trouble. He had had run
ming of the ear for twelve years, fol-
lowing a blow upon that organ. This
patient subsequently died of brain dis
ease. In another case the ear became
inflamed, and hearing was very much
impaired. In still another, the patient
was slapped by his father upon the
left ear. Immediate pain and deafness
followed, with bloody discharge from
the ear. 1t was three months before
this case recovered. The dangers to
which DIR. Sexton calls attention are SO
grave, that parents, teachers and 9TH
ers should never punish those commit
ted to their charge by boxing the ear.

One Way to Reform.

According to promise, we briefly
state what appears to us as the way
of reforming political parties.
That the reformation Of a political
party by and in itself is hopeless
undertaking admits, we think, of little
or no doubt. The question is, how can
reformation be effected?
Let those who really desire reform
the better-the best-come out from
among the corrupted and the corrupt
ing. But just here the ol1ice-holders,
the leaders, and the fat ones in the
party, may cry "stick to the party,'
and resort to various devices to frus-
trate the reform movement. Possibly
"sore heads" "deserters" or other
hard names will aid in testing the
firmness 0 the reformers in their pur-
pose, and also tend to deter others from
following.
Let those who thus separate them
selves from one party invite those who
are like-minded of another party to
unite and stand with them in the Or
ganization of "a new party and on a
clean platform" 1t will not make
any great difference as to the name OF
the new organization. The soundness OF
the platform m-principles and strict
adherence to the same are the main
points to be observed.
In the formation Of such party let
there be no more controversy with
those seeded from, than is absolutely
necessary to justification or vindica-
ton.
AS such party will surely grow in
numbers and in strength it must, as
already stated, be strict in adherence
to first principles and also be careful
as to whom they admit from any old
INDEPENDENTLY careful as to the
moral character rs well as to the polit-
ical faith of any and every man set
forth as q candidate for Office. When
the new party becomes popular and
has the prospect of getting control OF
matters, the tricky demagogues of old
parties may flop over, if permitted, to
the new party and light fright side
up"--just the position they have al
ways occupied, 4. G., if they be allow
ed to tell it, and the people allowed to
believe what they please.
After all, it will be only by "eternal
vigilance" in the interests of morality
as well as platform principles that such
new party will be kept from repeating
the self inflicted fate of the parties that
have gone before, and in turn furnish
occasion for another new party, which,
alas, SCENES to be the way alternate
with parties and governments.
We lave spoken of one way of re-
orm; if there is a more excellent way,
what is it?

How to Introduce People.

II do dislike to introduce people to
each other" said Eva to me one day
last week.
"Why, pray?" I asked. ''It seems
to me very simple thing"
"Well, when I have it to do, I stam-
mer and blush, and feel so awkward ;
I never know who should be mention
ed first, and I wish myself out of the
ROOM"
"I think I can make it plain to
you," I said. "You invite Mabel
Tompkins to spend an afternoon with
you. She has never been at your home
before, and your mother has never met
her. When you enter the sitting-room,
all .ou have to do is to say, Mother,
this is my friend Mabel; Mabel, my
mother If you wish to be more elab-
crate, you may say to your Aunt Lucy,
permit me to present Miss Mabel
Tompkins Miss Tompkins Mrs. Tenn
pleton.' But while you introduce Ma
bel to your father, or the minister, or
an elderly gentleman, naming the
most distinguished gentleman first,
you present your brother, bis chum
and your Cousin Fred to the young
lady, naming her first. Fix it in your
mind that among persons of equal
station the younger are introduced to
the older, and that in age, position or
influence are presented to superiors.
Be very cordial, when in your own
house you are introduced to guest,
and offer your hand. If away from
home, bow is commonly sufficient
recognition of an introduction. In
performing an introduction, speak
both names with perfect distinctness.

AN UNERRING MARKsMAN.-
"Whisky never misses fire." said a
man to us the other day. No; it nev-
er does. 1t is sure to bring down its
victim sooner or later, whether he be
high or low in the social or intellectual
scale. And futtering all about him
will be the wounded hearts of mother,
father, wife, children, sisters, brothers,
and friends, while beyond aud behind
all this is too often q trail Of ruined
virtue and communicating influences.
At least six hearts on an average carry
lifelong, overshadowing, dreary sor-
row, for every victim alcohol brings
down. The undertow of all family
and social life is, largely, silent sorrow
and dreary heartache over victims of
alcohol. No; whisky never misses
fire, never.

A servant of Mr.. NJ. received the
impression from some preacher that
immersion was all that was needful to
salvation. His master labored to con-
vince him of his error, but the heresy
remained untouched immersion was
regeneration. At last he said to his
servant: "If I take an ink bottle and
cork it tight, and put string around
the neck and drag it through the riv-
er, how long will it take to clean out
the inside?" The servants face
frightened up, and he said "Massa, I
see it. You will never get it clean in
the world"

1t may be too late, quite too late, to
set right mischief once done, to avert
consequences, to stop the working Of
the evil that we have set in motion.
But it is not too late, it is never too
late to come back to God. If you can't
be what you might have been, you
can still be something that Christ will
love and value-an humble, penitent
soul. If you cannot serve God as you
might have done-nay, if you have
done harm that you can never undo
yet you can still give Him what ne
values more than all service-a will

commit the evil they renounce. The

man. "I make a point of never listen
