"The Incubation of Serpents' Eggs" the

The young snakes, when first Matched,

there is some opacity about the cornea,

Tho PathOs Of Urliness.

There is a small doubt as to how a ma
jority Of One Of average good looks
would answer the following question:
(which would you rather be, regnant in
the world Of letters or art or gifted regally
with a faultless beauty before which all
men must thrill3 1t is more than likely
that ninety homely women out of any
hundred would in honesty prefer the
power that goes with personal lowell
ness to that which goes with wealth, with
the accident of lofty birth or with the
rarest intellectual distinction. 1t was a
shrewd observation of the late DR.. Hol-
land that when we find a man or woman
who is absolutely flawless in form and
feature we usually find a fool. 'For a
homely-even an ugly-man, F." he said, 81

so ugly yet that if he had brains and
heart Ire could not find a beautiful woman
sensible enough to marry him. But for

these tearsr"
There is no pathos in human life so
profound and universal as this-not upon
battlefelds, not in the wild, vain strug-
gle of a soul adrift, seeking its God. The
ugly woman is in every village in the
world, living out her little tragedy. In
every worthy, womanly quality she may
be likely to be the superior Of her pretty
sister; she is tender, she is meek, she is
true. But men yield her a SNUG respect
and turn to her sister with eyes Of love.
She has heart hunger, and sometimes
when she either does not possess gifts Of
mind or the strength to cultivate them
she starves into that stolidity which APP
peals to one Of gentle feeling as does the
look of pain atioat in the eye of a faith
full, wounded dog. 1t is worse still to
see her slowly brutalized by an migrate
upon whom she has lavished a love that
is next to the divine. 1t is love like hers,
indeed, that should be the proudest of
the human race-so clean 1t is, so endur-
ing, so wonderful in devotion aud self
sacrifice; but it is love like hers, instead,
that fills the world with sorrow, fills its
asylums aud its graves.-NeO York Mer-

Professor Francis G.. Peabody, of Harvard,
in a lecture on the temperance question be-
fore the Lowell Institution of Boston the
other day, said in substances: There are two
aspects of the liquor question, the economic
and the moral. There are at present in the
liquor traffic throughout the country some
200, 900 persons -l63, 900 in the retail and the
rest wholesale. These figures represent only
the dealers. The number of persons employed
is upward OF 1,0O0,0 600. The worst of these
horrible figures is that they mean the with
drawal OF Just so many persons from the
right kin of employments. In their present
occupations they contribute little OF nothing
10 the wealth of the country.
As to the amount of liquor consumed in
1886, 1881, GOO, 600 was spent for spirits, $780,
600, 900, for beer, SIG, 600, 900 for imported
wines and S34, 900, 600 for domestic wineS-a
frightful total of about 500, 000, 900. This is
o~ne-twelfth of the amount spent for food,
clothing and necessaries of life.
In the same year there was received as
wages 1857, 900, 200, and the liquor bill con-
sumed two-thirds of il. Again, it costs $780,
GOO, 600 a year for churches, and the drink
bill would buy all the churches in six
months.
Behind all this is the great Importance of
the moral aspect. That drink is Injurious to
The question is; How can it be stopped?
Liquidation fails of its aim. The solution
of the problem, though still far of, perhaps,
is in each individual recognizing that he him
self is an important factor in his community
as an example, and adopting for himelf the
teaching: IF meat make my brother to
offend l will eat no meat, lest l make my
brother 20 offend."-CommercidL Alder

PROTECTING THE cHLpnEN.

By degrees, Europeans are being con-
WINGED of the injurious consequences Of wine
drinking upon the young. A certain num-
Der children in Berne, Switzerland, were for
hidden the use Of alcohol in any shape or
form, during eight months of the year, but
during the remaining four months they were
supplied with the usual quantity Of wine d.
luted with water. The parents carefully
watched the children throughout the year,
and found that they slept better and longer,
and appeared decidedly brighter during the
eight months of abstinence than during the
period of wine-drinking. In the recent In
ternational Alcohol Congress, held in Chris
tiania, Norway, great prominence was given
TO the baneful effects of alcohol liquors upon
children, even the most persistent moderate
tinker admitting that education and legis-
lation are necessary on this point. 1t was
resolved TO watch the methods employed in
the United States for teaching children the
scientific effects Of alcohol, and, if possible,
to secure the introduction of the same text
books.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
sALTINa HITTER

In sailing butter 1 never weight either
the butter or salt, writes a lady corre-
spondent. For an inexperienced person
It may be well to know that an ounce of
salt to the pound of butter is about the
right proportion to be used, but in prac-
tice the ounce of salt may be too much
or too little, according to the stage in
which the salt is applied aud the amount
of buttermilk that is worked out after
wards. l think there is nothing in but
t%er-making that requires more Judgment
than sailing it to suit the average taste
of customers, and for this no fixed rule
can be given or followed. Success in
this particular must depend wholly on a
discriminating taste in the butter-maker
herself. Occasionally a person may be
found who dislikes salt in butter. l have
known cases where such persons would
wash the butter in water before eating
II. But, with the great majority of peo.
pie, tastes are not so dissimilar that one
cannot hit it pretty well by sailing to
suit ones own. At least I don't know
any better method.-Neo York World.

Funeral Of the Cars Nurse.

There was a remarkable scene in st.
Petersburg the other day at the funeral
of Miss Catherine Strutton, who was the
nurse Of the present Gar. Tho deceased
lady was eighty-one years of age, and
had been forty-six years in Tie service
of the imperial family. In fact, she died
at the Winter Palace from which the
funeral procession started. The weather
was very bad aud the streets were full Of
melting snow and mud, which made the
walking particularly disagreeable. But
In spite of all this and the attending dis
comfort, it is worthy of note that none
of those who were expected to be pres
ent failed to put in appearance. The
White Gar himself, and the Grand
Dukes Vladimir, Sergius and Paul,
walked side by side behind the hearse
which contained the old lady's coffin,
wading knee deep in the slush to the
English church. There the imperial
party attended the funeral service, the
Emperor sitting in the Ambassadors
pew, and at the grave the English clergy
man who ofliciated was attended by Rus
sian choristers. -NeV York Press.

ALCOHOL AS A CAUSE OF

J DIR. Lewis D. Mason, of the Inebrinte
Asylum, Fort Hamilton, N. Y, discussing
The Etiology of Dipsomania and the
Heredity Of Alcoholic Inebriety,n determins
as facts that alcoholism III progenitors will
produce physical and mental degradation in
their descendants, with the disorders that
arise from a defective nerve organization;
and all grades of mental weakening, from
slight enfeeblement of intellect to insanity
and complete idiocy; and that the laws regu-
lating these changes are similar to those that
govern congenital degenerative changes from
other muses.. The offspring of the confirmed
drunkard will inherit either the original vice
or some Of its countless Protean transfer
nations" In another paper-on PATHOLOGY
cal Changes in Chronic Alcoholism-Dr.
Mason exhibits alcohol as modifying the
serum and the anatomical elements of the
blood, besides being an irritant and directly
producing modification and degeneration of
tissue, and therefore as being most evidently
a disease-producing agent. Contrasting the
little progress that has been made in the
study of the pathology of chronic alcoholism
and OF the diseases incident to alcoholism
with the great advance that has been
achieved in knowledge of microbic diseases,
he adds: Alcohol has not any microbe, but
the grand total of its mortality will exceed
the combined effect of all the bacteria that
has ever passed the microscopic field or de-
veloped in the culture-tube of the bacteri-
ologist." The subject is now, however, be-
ginning to receive some of the attention it
deserves.-Foputar Science Monthly.

HARRY KAHN.
A gay young man named Harry Kahn
A rich mans only SON
Spent precious time of his glad prime
In search OF so-called FUN"
BE used his powers in wasted hours.
As though life were a dream;
he raced n drank, played cards and sank
In poverty's deep stream.
At length one day, in reckless play,
He sold n neighbours horse,
And rashly thought, like he who bought
1t, harmless fun of course.
II so, through flaw in stars or law
Or possibly in both
He went to Jail, through lack of bail,
Though very, very 10th.
With sentence passed, in prison fast
Was changed his mode OF life;
He learned a trade, mems shoes he made,
With many an inward strife.
When passed ten years Of hopes and fears
And he was free TO roam,
He found all changed, old friends ~estranged-
An outcast with no home.
Now boy, dear boy, so full of Joy,
Let temperance lead the van;
Touch not the bowl which blightS the soul
Remember Harry Kahn.
