THE LITTLE MEMBER,
A Study of the Tongue From Several Points
of View.

u ohhkh
of View.
When one makes q study of the
tongue from all points of view, he will
be most impressed by its two character
istics. One is that it is, though a little
member, full of iniquity, and the other
is that in its soft answer it is the most
potent means of turning away wrath.
This double-edged power and propensity
Is a marvellous gift, and it requires a
great struggle by every one to prevent
the soft answer from being entirely sub
jugated to the iniquity.
1t is so easy to permit the light Jest to
intrude upon a most solemn occasion; to
turn, by a fippant, careless remark, the
most sacred belief of another into ridi-
Guile and to pollute the lips with pro-
family and obscenity. Then that bit of
SANDER about ones neighbor, how easy
it is for the little member of iniquity
to aid in its circulation, each repetition
magnifying the original remark, until
some soul which might have been saved
by a kind word is lost-driven to des-
pair by unwilling liars. With the tongue
may wounds be inflicted upon the mind
more bitter, because more lasting, than
those made by a kcen-edged sword upon
the body. Nothing rankles like the
sneer or undeserved rebuke. Nothing
Is more insidious than the untruth told
in such a way about a body that
he may never hear 1t to be able
to disprove it. He may notice his
former friends drifting from him and
old acquaintance passing him without
recognition. lie had been guilty of no
crime or otfense against propriety, but
the little memory of its secret work has
brought the shadow into his life.
Though it is difficult to give the soft
answer to wrath, the man who can do so
may find satisfaction in feeling not only
that he has done right, but that he has
had the advantage. Humanity is very
inflammable, and anger can arise from
spontaneous combustion. When two
persons unite in kindling the fires of
wrath, there is going to be a heap Of
fire, injuring both of them. But II one
Of them holds his tongue altogether, or
gives the retort courteous, he either
causes the other to work himself into a
rage, which makes him impotent for the
time, or may turn away his wrath
altogether. This is the better result,
as it relieves the self-controlling indi.
vidual of the faint suspicion Of having
been in the contrary instance partly
participant in the others lapse.
One word Of encouragement is worth
more to the overworked employee than
an additional wage given in a business
way; a gentle phrase will cause him or
her to forget hours Of worry and re-
sponsibility, and a kind "thank YOU
means a relief to the mind Of the toiler.
Thoughtfulness for others, a sympathy
with them in weakness and self-controi,
which outwardly marks the man as a
man, will result frequently in the much.

A FRUIT ROOM.
1t May BE Built in the Residence, for
Convenience.

II May he Built in the Residence, for
Convenience.
For the use Of a private family a fruit
room may be built in the residence; by
preference, in a position as little ex-
,osed to direct sunlight as practicable.
It should have double walls, ceiling
and floor, with ''dead-air," or some
good non-conducting substance between,
and with double doors for ingress and
egress. Arrangements should also be
provided for the admission of cool air
from without, when the outer tempera-
ture is sufficiently low for the purpose;
also for the displacement OF warm or
impure air above, when ventilation be-
comes desirable.
This arrangement will suffice, says a
writer in the Rural New Yorker, only
for a slight or brief preservation of per-
ishable summer or autumn fruits. For
longer and more perfect preservation,
resort may be had to the use of ice, by
means OF which, in a room constructed
IS above, a temperature but a few de-
grees above the freezing point may be
readily maintained, and eyen the most
perishable fruits (if in sound condition
and not already over-ripe) can be held
nearly unchanged for an indefinite
period.
Experience has, however, shown that
there is an apparently unavoidable loss
of flavor and aroma, when p~erishable
fruits are thus retarded oven while
maintained in an otherwise unchanged
condition.
Since the warmer air always rises
from expansion; when ice is used as the
refrigerating material, it should always
be placed in. the highest part OF the
room, and means should be provided
for carrying the drip from it, as well as
all condensed moisture, from whatever
source, out of the room, passing it
through a trap in the waste pipe, to
prevent the admission Of warm air from
without.
My W arrangement for such pur
pose has been nothing more than an
ordinary cupboard, built within an ice
house, with an entrance from without
through double doors.

revived the boys tagging spirits, and
when Penn trotted off with the empty
basket he was once more the loyal
Young American. who had forgotten his
private troubles in suspense for his
country's good; and O after two
o'clock the great doors swung open and
the keeper whispered a few words in his
ear. Then. with a glad cry and his blue
eyes dancing, Nelson bounded out in
the street, and clapping his hands
shouted; Ring, Grandpa! Ring and
instantly the old man seized the rope
attached to the ponderous tongue and
struck it with all his might against the
side of the bell, sending the iron music
floating forth on the summer air, joy
fully proclaiming, Liberty throughout
all the land, TO all the inhabitants
thereof"
The debtors heard it in their gloomy
cells, and one, at least, longed to be
able TO join in the struggle that must
follow.
Margaret Harding heard it and
thought: "Oh, that it would ring free
dom for those in the grasp of the law"
And Reginald Cathcart heard it and
laughed contemptuously, saying: LET

clare all they like! They viii find it

patched in all directions with the glad
tidings! Bonfires blazed on every side,
reared, and by evening the
whole city was one carnival of banquets,
gay illuminations and mutual congratu-
l~ations.
Grandfather Darrah was SO jubilant
that he doubled Nelson's w~ell-earned
shilling, and with a fleet foot the boy
sped home to throw the silver in his
mothers lap; while the happy smile
that irradiated her face az she dropped
it into the debt-box made his heart
leap, and he thought: 'If two shillings
can make her so glad what would she
say to four golden guineas!" Then,
while carried away by the spirit Of the
occasion, he hurried at once Into the
yard, INDUCED in a brief moan over bis
pet, and then bravely fastened a chain
about Penn's neck and started with him
for the British barracks, which lay a
short distance outside the town.
At the entrance, however, Of the
three-story brick building, where
officers had their quarters, he en-.
rountercd a young lieutenant, in \
scarlet uniform, who informed him that
Cathcart was particularly en-
gagged and had given strict orders not to
be disturbed.

the detested name with an effort. Eyes

Spontaneous Combustion Of Man.

Dickens has been very much criti-
cised for his apparent acceptance Of the
fact of human spontaneous combustion,
but the late Sir William Gull testified
to a surprising case before the commit
tee of the House of Lords IN intemper.
ance during the summer Of 1886. A
large, hloated man, who was suffering
from difficulty of breathing and great
d~istention Of the venous system, died
at Guys Hospital. At the post-mortem
Of the following day there was no sign
of decomposition, but the body was dis
tended with what was thought to be
gas. "When %punctures were made into
the skim" said Sir William, ''and q
lighted match applied, the gas which
escaped burned with the blue fame OF
carburetted hydrogen. As many as a
dozen Of these little flames were burn
