It is q decree that while civilized
man cannot live without dining, he
might live a great deal longer without
so much dining, or rather without din
ing so extensively. Sir Henry Thomp.
son says that he has been compelled
by facts to think that more mischief in
the form of disease has accrued to civ.
ilized man from erroneous habits in
eating than from the use of alcoholic
drink. He also declared himself to
doubt whether improper and inordi.
nate eating were not as great moral
evil as inordinate drinking. Many OF
our best physicians say that the habit
of over-eating is at the bottom of most
troublesome diseases. Doubtless this
habit is most often laid in childhood
How many mothers feed their babies
as often as they cry, taking it fol
granted i'm the most imbecile manner
that the baby cries for food, when
more often the helpless little victim
cries because it already has had too
much food. When the stomach once
becomes accustomed to being crowded
with food, if the supply is cut short
there is at first gnawing sensation
that is frequently mistaken for hun
ger. Persevere little longer in your
abstinence. and you will find yourself
benefited by it.

She Never Had q Pair.

Among many interesting incidents
connected with the closing OF saloons
in Kittanning, Penn, a leading mer'
chant tells the following: A woman
came into his store very timidly. She
was evidently unaccustomed to trad
ing: o., ..s
the merchant.
"I want pair Of shoes for a little
giil." she answered.
"What number??'
"She is twelve years old"
"But what number does she wear :"
II do not know"
"But what number did you buy
when you bought the last pair foi
her?" -,
"She never had pair in cher life
You see, sir, her father used to drink
when we had saloons; but now that
they are closed he doesn't drink any
more, and this morning he said to me
Mother, I want you to go up town TO-
day and get Sissy pair of shoes, fol
she never had a pair in her life ]
thought, sir, if l told you how old she
was, you would know just what size to
give me-"
Oh 1T is pitiful that the children OF
this Republic must be robbed of shoes
and bread that few idlers may be sup
ported. The man who gives his i'll
fluence in favor of the saloons gives
his sanction 10 this cruel robbery

people whom Paul called "saints" and
faithful" had q harder fight TO wage
than we have, with less to hearten and
strengthen them in it. Only remem.
ber if the "saints in Ephesus" are to
be :in Christ" they need to keep them
very straight up. The carbonic acid
gas is heavy and goes down to the bot
tom of the cave, aud if Il man will
walk bolt upright he will keep his nos
trils above it; but if he stoops, he will
get down into it. Walk straight up,
with your head erect, looking to the
Master; and your respiratory organs
will be above the poison. If we are to
be in Christ when we are in Ephesus,
we need to keep ourselves separate and
faithful, and to keep ourselves in
Christ. If the diver comes out of the

Freti turned angrily away from his

How many 'good enough" boys are
reading these lines? The boy who

sweeping "good enough" So is the
boy who skins his lesson, or does the

The Special characteristics of Bishop
TayIor.S Missions.

TayIOr'S Missions.
1st. 2hey are Self-Supp073iWa.
By this it is not meant that no outlay
is required to establish them, Mis-
sionaries cannot be sent to Africa With
out money to pay their transit, and
they must each have a proper OUTFIT.
When they arrive in their respective
fields they must have the protection OF
a suitable house, and they must have
food supplied till the first crops can be
taken from the ground. There are
many preliminary and temporary out,
lays that cannot he prevented, and
that it should be our greatest plesure
to provide. But, gradually such as
sistance brings independence.
I'd. The corporation of the natives
is established. Instead Of going to
them as rich visitors, backed up by a
rich constituency, our missionaries 60
rs poor men, willing to live with those
who are poor. The gifts they take are
enlightenment aud Christianity; in
return they expect the appreciation
and cooperation of the natives; and
they receive both. They are welcomed
everywhere, and everywhere they are
helped in establishing self-support.
Sd. The Bishop takes with him the
elements of pure civilization as we'll
rs living Christianity. In most OF
the stations, many acres are given TO
the mission by the native ruler, and
and this becomes the nucleus, and a
representation to the natives, of clvill-
zation. Besides religious work, conf
mon school is established soon the
proper cultivation Of the soil, the plant
ing of trees aud vines and the intro
duction of many things adapted to the
climate and soil, are made the means
of the practical education of the ma
lives in agriculture. They are encour-
aged to come and work by the side of
the missionary, and do as he does and
know what he Knows; and with SINH
lar seeds and plants and trees, and
with similar irnplem ents of husbandry,
to develop similar farms and gardens
and nurseries of their own. VI course,
this is hard work for the missionary,
and requires him to take Oft his KID
gloves and broadcloth Gf such mis-
Sionaries have any, but is 1t not true
missionary work? Then, as coon as
possible, an Industrial School is es-
tablished, in which not only manufac- :
lures and use of tools are taught, but
knowledge and skill in various trades.
4th. Another feature Of this work
is that it is not confined to the ordain-
ed ministry. Teachers and common
workmen, filled with the Holy spirit,
are made to feel that they are co-work--
ers with God in this work. They, and
their families, are made practical ex-
amples of that life We would have these
natives live, and children as we'll as
parents have share in the good work.
In fact, t,sthese children are brought up
to take the place of the parents, when
these have passed away, they are better
prepared to do so than their parents,
because they are thorouhly acclimated,
familiar with circumstances, and used
to the work.-Aj ricam NcaOS.

THE CHURN.-Whatever churn is
selected, never set it in the sun to dry,
but dry indoors in clear, pure air.
The swing churn, an oblong, rectangu-
lar box, in which the cream swathes
back and forth from end to end, pro
duces the same results, and SC will a
float or dash ehurn, if skillfully work
ed. provided the cream is properly
tempered in each case.
One of the most important points to
observe in selecting churn is to get
one that is large enough. Small
churns, or churns that are too nearly
filled with cream, when in use, cause
a deal of trouble in thousands of dairy
rooms. No churn should ever be more
than half full of cream to give the
hest satisfaction. Churns without
floats or dash will not work if too full,
and others can not make the best but
ter or the most possible from the cream
If they are much more than half full.

In repeating the statements of one

In repeating the statements of one
man to another, we take upon our
selves q responsibility which is fire.
auently quite overlooked. Many Of
the misunderstanding and difficulties
between people, arising constantly in
all departments of life, are to be traced
to the forgetting of this responsibility.
1t is the responsibility of safe transmits
sion of thought, without damage or
breakage, from one soul to another.
Whether we voluntarily undertake the
transportation and delivery, or are
commissioned so to do, makes no diff
ference; we are responsible for the
ideas we receive, handle, and deliver, III
both cases. 1t is surprising that peo-
pie are always so ready to tell us what
another says, or to report the views of
another, when they know that their
possession of the others thought is at
the best uncertain, and that their facil-
ity and skill in transmitting it are by
no means beyond question. They GER
tainly do not handle another's trans
cendental goods, his purposes, inten-
tions, hopes. fears, relations, ideas,
and all his personal possessings, as
carefully as they do their own. And
by their carelessness they are often the
cause of mishaps or injuries which
they can never repair. Successful
thought-t t-transferenc is, indeed, q very
difficult art. TO get the mental pic
ture substantially perfect and complete
out of one mind, and then to present
it successfully to another mind, with
all its proportions, attitudes, relations,
perspectives, lights and shadows to
impress OH the peculiar individuality
of the listener no more, no less, than
Exactly the whole truth, is difficult
and delicate undertaking. So many
and various kinds of allowances, re-
auctions, or enlargemens, must be
made in taking the matter out of one
set of circumstances and out of one
kind of personality, and adjusting it to
the other. Every man before he re-
peats what he supposes another has
said, and thus assumes the responsible
ity of injury and damage to an absent
one, ought be sure that his camera has
focused substantially true and accu-
rate picture of the other mans mind !;
and then he ought to be sure that he is
able to transfer this picture to the list
ener's mind with substantial fidelity.

Nearer Home.
PHOEBE CARY.


One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me DER and o'er,
I am nearer my home to- day
Than / ever have been before.
Nearer my Fathers house.
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne.
Nearer the Crystal sea.
Nearer the bound Of life,
Where we lay our burdens DOWN;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining The crown.
But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the nisht.
Is the deep and qnkno,wn ;;IS, Strea'"'
That leads at last to the light.
Father, perfect my trust!
Strengthen the might of my faith;
Let me feel as would when | stand.
On the rock Of the shore of death.
Feel as would when my feet
Are slipping over the brink;
For 1t may be, I'm nearer home
Nearer now than think
