WILL WE KNOW

When our last good-by Is said,
And the vital spark has fed,
VIII We know that we are deada
VIII we see the darkened room,
Filled with woe and deepest gloom,
Life's forever silent loom?
Faces bending to our own,
AL the joy-light from them flown,
So much older, sadder grown?
VIII we hear each bitter cry,
Sob and moan and heartfelt sigh,
AS the weary hours drag byS
VIII we feel each tender hand,
While their owners dumbty stand,
Round Us there, broken band?
Will we listen for the one
We love best, when day is done!
And there is no comfort none!
Will we all reluctant go
From our honest We prize them SO!
Homes we ne er again will know!
Will we then lie down to rest
On dear Mother Earth's warm breast
: Prove the grave downy nest?
VIII we wait in dreamless sleep
For the tryst we oil must keep
For the harvest we will reap?
Or will we at once ascend
To our Father, King and Friend,
sWho, all,wise, ordains life's end2
When our last good by is said,
And the vital spark has fed,
Will we know that we are dead?

VINEGAR EELS.

From Lecture by DIR. j. H. Kellogg, Of
Battle Creek, Mich.
Those interesting little creatures
known as vinegar eels" are always
found in good vinegar, that is, in vine
gar non chemically prepared. They are
popularity supposed to make vinegar
sharp" but this is not true. A drop
OF vinegar under a microscope gives
one an idea of the multitude OF these
little wrigglers which flourish in a
table cruet. Like the western mining
claim of which we read, very literally
there's millions in It." 1t is under
stood by those who have studied into
the matter, that these little worms,
which are closely allied to great num-
Der of other species found outside the
body, are productive of mischief. Vim
egar is very unhealthful stuff. It has
been found that these vinegar eels are
not always destroyed in the stomach.
The acid OF the gastric juice will kill
most parasites and germs, but vinegar
cells are accustomed to acidity and they
sometimes run the gauntlet of the
stomach and get into the small intes-
tines, where they can live without diff
Guilty. They are also found in the lower
part of the alimentary canal, and are
the heretofore undiscovered source of
intestinal irritation. These parasites
are present in vinegar under conditions
under which decomposition is going on.
1t vinegar is to be taken into the body,
it should first be boiled, that the cells
may be killed; and if it is to be applied
externally, it should be boiled, also,
else these parasitic cells will dry up and
be ready to be transferred to the in
terror OF the body If they get chance.
They are very tenacious OF life. The
eelc OF sour paste are closely allied to
viiiegar eels. If sour paste is allowed
to dry up until it is very dry, and then
a little of it be mixed in with some
fresh paste, in short time the fresh
paste will. be swarming with these par.
asites -Ieported by Helen L, Manning.

Mrs. Bowser heard a yell and started

for her to follow, and as they entered

'Nothing!' he answered
''Then, what are you jumping around
