THE VALUE OF LYING IN Bed
For those who cannot get sufficient
holiday the best substitute is an occa-
sional day in bed. Many whose
nerves are constantly strained in their
daily vocation have discovered this for
themselves. A Spanish merchant in
Barcelona told his medical man that
he always went to bed for two or three
days whenever he could be spared
from his business, and he laughed at
those who spend their holidays on toll
some mountains. One of the hardest
worked women in England: who has
for many years conducted large
wholesale business, retains excellent
nerves at an advanced age, owing, it is
believed, to her habit of taking one
day week in bed.

The Church would make long adj
vance if she could ut once settle in her
mind the conviction that she is not
patronisingly assisting the forlorn
band of missionary pensioners, that
she is not aiding Secretaries or Boards,
that she is not compassionating ma
tions rs such inferior races Of men,
but that she is doing the work to
which she is called by her Redcemcr,
and to which, in every syllable of her
creed, and every utterance of her
vows, she is pledged.

For PARENTS.-Among moderns,
English women. as a rule, possess in
youth and keep till age the finest COM
pleXions. Their climate is kind to
them. Its perpetual moisture seems to
keep them in perpetual bloom, as il
does their wonderful roses. But be-
sides their climate, their customs favor
them. English girls are kept in the
nursery or the school-room, free from
the excitement Of late hours, rich food,
adult society, fashionable dress or hab-
it's. till their constitutions are esiab-
lished and their physique developed.
The simple food, daily bath, hours
spent out-of-doors, OH foot or on horse
back, and uneventful life, giving them
sound stomachs, hearty livers, and
tranquil nerves, and the beantitns col
oring is a matter of course.
1t cannot be said too strongly tba'
her health is the only safe renovator ni
the complexion. Cleanliness is the
one universal cosmetic. And II the
women of this generation have lost
their freshness through carelessness or
ignorance, o. spite of climate, they
can, at least, rear their daughters to
preserve that inheritance of beauty to
which most Americans are born.
The orchard of the church will not
he more fruitful till the plants in the
nursery are more cared for.
If cause be good, the most violent at
taclls of its enemies will not lnJure 1t
so much rs an injudicious defence OF 1t
by its friends.
None will have such dreadful part
ing with the Lord at the last day as
those who went half way with him
and then left him.
Never expect a sense of justice in a
man whom you know to be dishones
in any thing.
Pity is thing often avowed, seldom
felt; hatred is thing often felt, sell
dom avowed.

Will Sunday be Destroyed !

The 1fmes-Star, of this city, had ar
article recently under the title, "The
No-Sunday Era" The title is omi
nous, and the facts which suggested il
are not encouraging. A large dry
goods store "over the Rhine" was open
all day the Sunday before. Certain
jewelry stores were open at the same
time. There were hints that other
business houses would follow this per-
nicious example, because business ri
valry would compel them to do it, and
thus the 7Enaes-Star saw in the open
ing of this over-the-Rhine store 1.-THE
beginning of the end, unless success
full effort is made to check the growing
disposition to ignore the laws in regard
to an observance of Sunday" If these
were the only facts bearing upon the
case, they would hardly justify the
sweeping inferences of the Times
Star; but these are so minute, and
there are so few of them, that they at
tract almost no attention at all in the
vast array of forces which are waging
war against the Lords day. The bat
tie in which the ISnaes-Star now so
gallantly draws the sword has been
raging for long time. The begin
ming of the end was not over the
Rhine three weeks ago. If the end
comes-which God forbid-the begin
ming of it was centuries ago. We wish
we could think that the enemies Of
Sunday are making no progress in
their assaults on the holy day, and
that there is no cause for alarm except
the few facts which Cincinnati has re-
Gently furnished but no such comfort
is possible, for the enemies of the
Lords day swarm on all sides, and are
as furious and persistent as they are
numerous. The appeal of the Times
Star is not to the Christian people of
the country so much as to the laboring
people, whose Sunday rights are in
danger from the greed of their en-
ployers. Little by little the demand
for seven days of labor in the week in
creases. The railroad idea is likely to
become dominant, and men who will
not work on Sunday must give place
to others whose consciences are less
sensitive. 1t is not simply Sunday as
a religious institution that is in dan
ger, but Sunday as one of the sacred
rights of the laborer. He has right to
a day of rest, and it is sin against
him to compel him to drag his weary
feet through seven days of weekly
toll. This point does not command
large attention now, but the time will
come when some men who are now
waging war against Sunday will curse
the fatal day when they did it, and
thus forged chains for their own limbs.
Labering people have all interest in
the Lords day which millions of them
do not now appreciate; but as time
passes they will see the case as it is,
and the day will have new defenders.
Sunday is not doomed to destruction.

THE WAY THE MONEY GOES
Towels are used for holders. Napkins
are used as dish-wipers. Soap is left
to soak in water. Clothes are whipped
to pieces in the wind. Hams and
cheese mould and get full of "skip-
pers." Tea, coffee and spices stand
open and lose their strength. Coal is
wasted. Vegetables are thrown away
that would warm over nicely. Scrub
bing brushes are left to warp in water.
Bits of meat are thrown away that
would make good soup or hash. A
pint, more or less, of dough is left
sticking to the bread pan. The cork is
left out Of the molasses jug and flies
take possession. The extravagant use
of butter, sugar and eggs in cookery.
Pals are allowed to sun dry and fall
apart. Bread is wasted. Tea and
coffee made too strong. Careless
breakage of dishes.

WHEAT BRAN FOR CoWs.-Wheat
bran is excellent to make cows give a
mass of milk, but for the butter maker
it does not furnish the requisite mate
rial. The cream from bran-fed milk
rises slowly and is hard to churn.
When the butter is made it will be pale
rather than the golden yellow from the
cream of cows fed on corn meal. Bran
should be fed to young, growing stock
rather than to COWS. 1t is rich in
phosphate, and makes an excellent
manure.

Extracts from Jonathan and his Con-
tinent.
BY MAX O'RELL.


The population OF America is sixty
millions-mostly colonels.
If the earth is small, America i:
large, and the Americans are inn
mense!
From east to west, America stretches
over breadth of more than 5000
miles. Here it is well to put some
readers on their guard, in case an
American should one day put to them
one of his favorite question "Where
is the center of America ?" I myself
imagined that, starting from New
York and pushing westward, one
would reach the extremity of America
on arriving at San Francisco. Not so,
and here Jonathan has you. He
knows you are going to answer wrong
ly, and if you want to please him, you
must let yourself be caught in this lit
tie trap, because it will give him such
satisfaction to put you right. At San
Francisco, it appears you are not quite
half way, and the center of America is
really in the Pacific ocean. Jonathan
more than doubled the width of his
continent in 1867, when for the sum of
$7,0OO,OOO he purchased Alaska of the
Russians.
X x x
The Englishman, on his side. has no
antipathy whatever to the Americans.
For that matter the Englishman has
no antipathy for any one. He de-
spises, but he does not hate, fact
which is irritating to the last degree to
the objects of his attention. When a
man feels that he has some worth, he
likes to be loved or hated; to be treat
ed with Indifference is CALLING. John
Bull looks on the American as a par
venu, and smiles with incredulity
when you say that American society is
not only brilliant and witty, but quite
as polished as the best European socie-
ty.
1t is this naughty disdain which ex-
asperates Americans.
Jonathan has forgotten that the En-
glish were once his oppressors he for
gives them for the war of 1872; with
out forgetting it, he forgives them for
having, during the civil war, sided
with the slave owners; but he cannot
forgive an Englishman for coming to
his dinner table in tweed suit.

I was chatting one day with an
American about the famous Col. Rob-
ert Ingersoll.
"He is your greatest orator, I am
told," I said.
EYES," he replied, "Ingersoll can
fill theiMetropolitan opera house any
day, and have five thousand dollars in
the house."
Certainly that is curious way to
speak of great orator, great writer
and great thinker.

A SUCCESSFUL MAN.-If I were
asked to define the meaning of a sue
cessful man, should say a man who
has made happy home for his wife
and children. No matter what he has
not done in the way of achieving
wealth or honors, if he has done that
he is grand success. If he has not
done that, and it is his own fault,
though he be the highest in the land,
he is most pitiable failure.

Heaven is never deaf but when
mans heart is dumb.
A good conscience expects to be
treated with perfect confidence.
ANY feeling that takes 4 man away
from his home is traitor to the house
hold.
Those who never change love their
own ways better than the ways of
truth.
Comparatively speaking, in man
goodness is everything and greatness
nothing.

A German critic thus distinguishes
between ridicule, wit, irony and hu-
NOR: "Ridicule is the wit of stupid
or vulgar person; wit the ridicule of a
superior intellect or q man of the
world; irony the wit Of thinker, and
humor the irony of a poet. Ridicule
is like blow with the fist, wit like the
prick of a needle, irony like the sting
of a thorn, and humor the plaster
which heals all these wounds"

Hemp rope contracts if it is wet. A
dry rope twenty-five feet long is short
ened to twenty-four feet on being wet.
And it should not by forgotten that a
wet rope has only about one-third of
the strength of q dry one, while if
saturated with grease or soap it is
weaker still.

The parent who sends his son or
daughter out into the world with a
genuine love and appreciation of fine
and noble literature has little cause to
fear that vicious companionships will
have power to draw them downward.
They will gravitate to libraries and

likely to meet those of like tastes with
themselves.
