A few years ago there was much
laudation of Father Dannien, priest
of the Ronan Catholic Church, who
was SO much affected by the condi-
ton of the lepers Of the Sandwich
Islands, whom he found in settle

from all human kind, and slowly
awaited their death, that he cast his
lot in with them, served them ir
their trouble, and died of the dis.
ease which wasted their lives. Il
was a slow martyrdom, for which
Father Damien received warm com.
mendation from all classes of men

his resolution, and became pure
minded, noble, honorcd gentleman.
His rule and example are worthy Of
imitation.
Boys readily learn class OF low,
vulgar expressions, which are never
heard in respectable circles The
utmost care of parents viii scarcely
prevent it. OF course, no one thinks
OF girls being 50 much exposed to
this peril. We cannot imagine
decent cir, using words she would
not utter before her father or mother.
Such vulgarity is thought By some
boys to be smart, the next thing to
swearing, ana mot so wicked; puV
it is habit which leads to profanity,
and fills the mind with evil thoughts.
1t vulgarizes and degrades the soul,
and prepares the way for many OF the
gross and fearful sins which now cor

wretchedness and woe. But it has
made garments for the destitute, and
knit socks for the barefooted, pre-

made up bales of clothing for West

To PURIFY THE BREATH.-The
freshest of fresh eggs, and lemon
juice, sugar, almond oil and rose
water, mixed with utmost care and
cleanliness, stirred and beaten for
hours upon hours, smelling delicately,
as though a rose had been dipped
into it, should make tempting cos
metic to create beauty or restore II

"balmy breath that doth almost per
suade justice to sheath her sword,
and a few drops of this clear, red
liquid, poured into a glass of water

A Continual Feast.

The Bible tells us that a contented
mind is continual feast. A pastor
tells this story of member of his
flock who had learned to be contented
and even to rejoice in tribulation.
IA poor widow, who supported
herself with the most rigid economy
by knitting, saw in the intense cold
of last winter. The house was one
upor which tim" had made such SD
rayages that only one room could
now be inhabited, and in that she
dared not have a fire when the wind
blew hard, because the chimney had
become nsafe.
How favored | amp she said,
efor when it has been coolest the
wind didn't blow much or there
was so much snow on the house |
could have fire without danger; |
cannot be thankful enough. And
then,' she continued, Joseph has
been at home nights almost all WIN
ter, and he could get my. wood and
water when there was SO much snow
| could not get out
sBut do you not feel very lonely
while Joseph is away?'
"'oh, no; I get along very well

the table by which she was sewing
sand when I can see the neighbor's

matism had disabled one foot, and
she sat still sewing with swollen,
painful limb raised upon cushion.
sEow favored l am!' she exclaimed
when my poor Lydia was alive I lost
the use Of both my feet for time
and she took care of me; but now
l can get about by moving my foot

Beyond the shadows which surround
Our troubled mortal life,
There lies a lane where never wakes
The sound of SOL or strife;
Where sickness :-e1er pales the cheek,
Where starts no cry of pain,
Where gladness settles on the soul,
And never Iifts again.
No pillows breal, along its shore.
No tempests sweep the sla,
The beauty of the Lord on ID
On all things there doth lie;
Eternal cain, unending peace,
Reign in that olissful land;
0 happy they who reach its rest,
and stand at Gods right hand!
There all the pure in heart are found,
Their very thoughts are praise;
They sing the endless death Of sin,
Christ's triumph song they raise;
Before the pierced feet which led
Their spirits up to light,
They yield the homage of their love,
Arrayed in robes of white.
No more they weep. no more they watch
No more the Tempter dread;
The dark perpleSities of old
Are ever from them fled;
Saved by the all-redeeming blood,
They breathe the balm of bliss,
They know that Christ is theirs for aye,
They know that they are His.
Our Father-God, we long to reach,
Their fellowship of rest
To see the glory of our Lord:
And be forever blest:
Guide US through smooth and silent seas
And Ger the stormy foam,
Until we strike the sunlit shore,
And hear Thy welcome home.

Mineral Production of the United
States for 1s' {.

States for IS {.
A recent number of the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal presents
the official returns Of the production
during 1890 and 1891 Of nearly all
the important minerals and metals,
and a comprehensive statement OF
the sources of production, the occur
renee of the minerals, the uses and
values of their products, and in many
cases the stocks of metal on hand at
the close of the year.
These statistics have been COM
piled with the greatest possible care,
neither labor nor expense being
spared to SECURE accuracy in every
particular.
The statistical reports given would
form book of about $50 pages.
We make the following abstracts
There have been no discoveries Of
great bonanzas, no mining ssbooms, !"
during the year 1891, but the mining
industry never was more prosperous,
and its prosperity never before was
founded on so substantial a basis.
Large investments have been made
in mining, and for the most part with
prudence. Under competent and
honest management these invest
ments are making highly satisfac-
tory returns. The dividends declared
by mining companies during the
year 1891 were mach greater than
for many years past, and represent a
better return on the money actually
invested than ever before in the his
tory of mining in this country.
The immense increase during 1891
in production of most of the metals
has been surprise. Copper in par
ticular will, as usual, astonish the
trade. The consumption of metals
increases steadily, as might be
expected from the growing wealth
and prosperity of the country. Almost
the only article which has fallen off
has been steel rails, and with it pig
iron. In this instance the financial
condition of the~railroads was the
cause; while where consumption is
made up of the purchases in small
and various forms by the people at
large, it steadily increases unless
checked by very high prices. Dur
ing the year 1891 prices were gene
rally low and the epeople prosperous
they consequently purchased freely.
Nothing more forcibly demon
strates the absurdity of our barbar-
Gus system of weights and measures
than the compilation of statistics.
We have tons of 2,240 pounds, of
1000 pounds, and the metric ton Of
2,2o441 pounss, or ! 900 kilos, to say
ness!h2;ng ;ngoff Of Cd ID : 992other special tons used
in certain industries. We have
ounces troy and ayoirdupois, and
grains and grapmes, with innumera-
bic other weights, It is, indeed,
high time that a}l civilized countries
adopt The single metric standard of
weights and measures, in which case
the statistics compiled in one coun-
try will be available for comparison
elsewhere without. necessitating the
laborious recalculation from one sys-
tenn into the other.
