HIS KINDNESS.
We have now given a brief record OF

statesman and able man OF business,
rich in saving common sense, Il hrm
and constant friend Christian whose
heart lay open in sincerity and humiily

fell from his hands, and his heart lay
open "a the day to melting charity.
Every generous act was sweetened ny
n courtesy that never failed, and en-
braced even the little children who en-
tered his gracious presence. His capa-
city for friendship was simply unlilni-
ted. 1t is safe to say that he rarely
penned a business letter without some
affcctionate expression, which made the
recipient feel that the writer was his
friend, while to those with whom he was
really united by ties of love or kindred,
his many ways of showing affection were

baseness Of n fellow creature. His was

even his scorn of what was mean was
minglod with such mild regret that no
sting was conveyed in his reproof.

Spoons were used by the Egyptians
in the seventeenth century before
Christ, and have also been found ut

century. Forks first appeared in the
middle ages as curiosity, and were

Glasses came in vogue in the fifteenth
century, although tin drinking vessels,
beautifully made, continued TO be used
on ordinary occasions. Salt cellars were
known III very ancient times. The cas-

BACTERIA OF THE MOUTH.
SoXious Germs Often Find Lodgment il
the Mouth and Nose.

Noxious Germs Often Find Lodgment in
the Mouth and Nose.
Youths Companion: 1t has long been
known that warmth and moisture favor
the development and growth Of mi
crobes. The mouth furnishes these
conditions to Il peculiar degree.
All germs that float in the air are
liable to find Judgement in the mouth
and nose. Here they may remain, and
as most of them are not harmful under
any circumstances, they gre no indica-
ton Of their presence; and even when
noxious germs are thus lodged in the
mouth they may produce no symptoms.
If swallowed into the stomach the
Juices tIlnre contained may cause their
destruction and Reorganization. If for
any reason their vitality is not thus de-
stroyed. they may be absorbed in the
system. 1t is possible that even then
they may be destroyed o. excreted, and
give rise to no disease. 1t is after their
entrance into the system, however, that
their presence is apt to be manifest.
The danger of their entering the sys-
TEN, it should be made clear, is in
creased when the mucous membrane OF
the digestive tract is broken at any
point When the skin or mucous mem
brane of any part of the body is broken,
one is perhaps considerably more liable
to absorb germs of all sorts.
