HOUSE AND FA RM
Treatment For Painting.

Although fainting is not common in
children, young girls may be subject
to such attacks. When one faints, it il
owing to temporary weak action of
the heart, so that sufficient blood is
not pumped up the brain to maintain
consciousness. The face becomes very
pale, and the eXtremities are cold.
Usually all that is necessary is to place
the person flat OH her back, which will
ease the action of the heart, while
gravtitation ads in restoring the prop
er amount of blood to the brain
Never allow fainting person to main
tain an upright or sitting position, as
death has thus resulted from heart fail
ure. Sprinkling u New drops of cold
water upon the face and cautiously
holding spirits of hartshorn under the
nose will aid, by reflex action, in res
toring the functions of heart and brain.
Cold water should never be poured
upon fainting person, and every
thing beyond the first shock is depress
ing and should hence he avoided.

Lutherans one. Thirteen of the com.

with swords. These. it must he
remembered, are all church military
companies, and have no connection

This article proves, by abundant
citations, that as physical exercise

Character is disclosed by its shaw
dows no less than by its lights. 1t
sounds somewhat startling to hear
Goethe say that "the errors of man
are what make him really lovable." "
Yet there is sense in which the errors
of another may so call out our sympa-
thies, or so rouse our admiration for
his efforts to overcome his faults, that
we see his lovableness disclosed in the
exhibit of those errors. And 80, too,

Christian, because there seem to be
so many disagreements and chickering's
in it, and so much personal criticism"
"And yet that church holds together,
and fiourishes, and is doing the Lords
work nObly," might have been the
answer. When the tie that binds
shows itself stronger and noble than the
forces that tend to sunder, one cannot
but admire the character that decides
to have the nobler and better forces
triumphant. 1t is at such times,
whether in associations or in individ.
uals, that we can feel the truth that
one's errors may make him lovable.
It is not that we can rightly eulogize
error or embrace sin, but that the truly
lovable or admirable side of character
may be disclosed through its weakness
as we'll as through its strength, through
its cause for lamentation as we'll as
through its causes for exultation.-S.

GRAINS.

Gladness is better gift than gold.
He is most powerful who has him
self in his power.
Extravaganza begets temptation, ,and
temptation crime.
The worst deceived man is the one
who deceives himself.
Whenever you go to your brother in
love God goes with you.
Our characters are our own; our
regulations are other peoples.
No Christian ever attains eminent
grace who does not learn to be useful.
Cheerfulness is an excellent wearing
quality. 1t has been called the bright
weather of the heart.
Let not every pain send thee to the
doctor, every quarrel for the lawyer,
nor every thirst to the dram-shop.
There are good many people who
want 10 do good, but they are going to
wait until tomorrow to begin.
Some people are so constituted that
they can never see the bright side of
anything but dollar.
Unless we are willing to believe
that Jesus is Savior, we cannot find
help in him an everyday helper.
Better be right than conquer in an
argument. Better bear the assump-
tions of ignorant men than waste your
dearly bought experience on fools.
Eternity is depth which no geom-
etry can measure, no arithmetic calcu-
late, no imagination conceive, and no
rhetoric describe.
Men who have reputation of know
ing their business have not wasted all
their time in meddling with the bust

If we are ever in doubt what to do,
it is a good rule to ask ourselves what
we shall wish on the morrow that we

If your religion does not give you

Northern Agriculture.

It is wonderful what growth is made
by plants under the long continued
| light of the Artc summer, notwilh.
D.. standing the sun attains no great ele'
svatiOn above the horizon. The light,
such as 1t is, is almost constant fOr
weeks together, and this constancy
makes up. i'm great part, for the short
ness Of the season. 1t is to be kept in
mind, also, that the growth Of vegeta-
ton is not wholly dependent upon the
heat rays of the sun.
This becomes evident from the fact
that wheat, for example, will grow
in soil that, even in midsummer, is
not lhawed more than foot below the
surface.
In Siberia, agriculture ceases at
sixty degrees Of north latitude, But in
| Norway oats ripen under SiXty-nlne
degrees, rye u half degree, and harley a
whole degree further north. In Fin
mark the heat is intense, and day
light is continuous for ten weeks.
The rapiu growth of vegetation in
Finmark is almost incredible. During
the short summer crops are sown,
ripened and harvested. 1t has been
found by experiment that in latitude
siXty-five degrees north, barley will
grow two and onehalf inches, and peas
three inches i'm the twenty-fOur hours
for several consecutive days. Barley
| is harvested in ten weeks after being
sown.
At Hammerfest, in latitude seventy
degrees and forty minutes north, the
grass grows underneath The snow, and
nav is made in il month after the snow
has left the fields. Here the Scotch fir
fiourishes vigorously, sometimes reach
my an altitude of eighty feet. But a
little further east in this same latitude,
i'm winter. mercury and even brandy
| frequently freeze in the open air.
A norwegian scientist las been en-
gagged for thirty years in making eX-
perments tn determine the effects Of
the midnight sun, during the Scandi-
navian summers, on the wheat and
other grain crops. The conclusion be
reached is that wheat, corn and other
seeds imported from warmer cline,
when cultivated under this uninter.
mittent sunlight. become harder as
we'll as larger, and are better able to
resist excessive cold. The colors of
these grains are also gradually changed
to richer and darker hue.
These are not the only variations
that plants undergo by exposure 10 a
night and day sun. Wild and cult
waited fruits, ripened in northern lands,
have much livelier aroma and flavor
than the same fruit grown under more
southern skies. This is particularly
Observable in The small fruits that are
20 grateful in the early part of the
warm season.
The experiments of this Norwegian
scientist derive double interest from
the recent inquiries of Doctor Siemeus,
illustrating the power of the electric
light when applied to plants and
vegetables to quicken and invigorate
heir growth. The two invigorations,
though entirely independent, have led
TO the same scientific result.

Good Reading for Old and New En-
uVn

How MErIIO DIST PREACHEQS ARE
MoBBED In Ireland may be seen
from the following verbatim extract
from the London Times
The Rev. Mr.. Hollows, of Arklow',
shifted the scenes of his street preach
ing campaign Ct Atllone on Sunday
last, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Har-
per, Methodist minister, formerly stat
toned in Athlone; Mr. Parsons, q Meth
Odist of Athlone Mr.. Vaughan, clerk
Of the Union, and several other gentle
men. Mr.. Martin, District inspector OF
Constahulary, attended with force OF
one hundred men To protect them from
the violence of the large mob which
filled the market square in which they
took up their first position. This was
not sufficient to restrain the cr0Wd, In
which were some shop assistants ana
other young men of the better class,
from pelting the preachers with mud,
eggs, aud missiles of all kinds, and
keeping up babel of discordant sounds
which effectually drowned the voices
of the preachers. Occasional rushes
were also made to crush the police and
the preachers against the shutters OF
the shops, and these hOstilities at
length assumed so menacing form
that, on the advice of the inspector, the
missionaries were induced to retire TO
their lodgings. They were, however,
not allowed to retreat quietly, but were
followed by howlingmob, who threw
missiles at them, and let loose box OF
bees among them. Only few persons,
and they belonged to the disorderly
crowd, were stung. Father O'keefe
and Father Byrne appeared at this pc
riod, aud asked the people to disperse.
The reverend gentlemen then attempt
ed to speak from the windows, but were
assailed with clods of turf, while u loud
noise was kept up, and they finally
abandoned the attempt. In the evening
they held services in the Methodist
and Baptist meeting houses, and were
escorted to them by large crowd, but
the disgraceful scenes of the day were
not repeated.
Our friends of Great Britain and Ire
land, we trust, will seriously consider
such events as this while they are
thinking of the lyDchings that take
place in the United States. Outbreaks
are liable in any government.-N. Y.

Insipid Prayers.

popularity,to everything around you?'
What is your reply, o reader, to these

Surely your conscience tells you that
he is right. Your soul is sick with
worldly fever, and therefore spiritual
things disgust you. That fever is
deadly, and will end in your complete

universal custom in our Conferences,
less absorption in formal business de.

would doubtless be the happy result.
Had some such plan been always in

Our Fore rerathers.-Our own fore
fathers not many hundred years
ago, were besotted heather, and prac-
tised the most horrible rites of supers.
tition, and heathens they would we be
to-day, if foreign missionaries had not
gone forth from the South of Europe,
first into Germany and then into Eng.
land, to preach the gospel to our pagan
ancestors. We have relics of our bar.
barous origin in the most familiar
words of our language, notably in the
days of the week. Sunday was the
day in which anciently 3he sun was
adored; Monday that on which the
moon was worshiped /; Tuesday was
consecrated to Tuisco, the Saxon name
for the Roman god Mars Wednesday
was Woden's day, another Saxon deity
Thursday was the day on which the
Saxon Venus, Friga, was honored, and
Saturday was Saturn's day, another
heathen deity.

Household Hints.

Oyster Salad-Allow six plump oys-
| ters to each person. Parboil them
slightly in their own liquor, then
drain Immediately and let stand till
cold. Cut each oyster into bits, mix
with an equal bulk of crisp eggs. Stir
portion of the dressing through the
oysters thoroughly, then arrange Oh a
bed of lettuce leaves and spread the
remainder over the top. Garnish with
slices of hard boiled eggs and pitted
olives.
Pineapples and Edam cheese should
be cut 10 that the top will fit on again
in good condition. A large piece OF
any other kind of cheese is preserved
by wrapping it well in a large square
of cheesecloth, dipped and then
wrung out of cider vinegar. When
sending cheese to the table with the
salad or any other course, see that it
is laid on fresh napkin.
Escalloped Onions. the onions
until about half done, then pour oft
the water. Cut into small piecies and
fill large pudding dish with alternate
layers Of onions and cracker crumbs.
Season with butter, pepper and salt.
Pour over the whole little milk.
Bake half an hour.
Potato Puffs.-Prepare as for mashed
potatoes. Make into balls as large as
an egg, place on buttered tin sheet,
brush over with beaten eggs and
brown i'm an oven. When brown slide
carefully on platter and decorate
with parsley.
Silver or steel thimbles are the only
kinds to be used. Other compositions
of which cheap thimbles are made very
frequently of lead or pewter, and their
use is likely to result in serious infiam-
nation and swelling if there is even
slight scratch on the finger.
Old newspapers are good to- wrap
woolen things in for tile summer, as
the moths don't like printers ink. A
sprinkling of champion gum is also
good.
Canned tomatoes are more delicious
baked than stewed. About ten min
utes before removing from the oven
spread buttered bread crumbs over
the top.
Use little ammonia in the water in
which you wash window lights and
mirrors. Then polish quickly with
chamois skin or tissue paper.
Use very strong lie when cleaning
up the floors and let it dry in the
cracks to keep moths from under the
carpet.
A cloth dipped in weak ammonia
water is good to lightly wipe off the
carpets. 1t brightens them wonder
fully.
Hair dye is so detrimental to long
life that q Paris insurance company
refuses to insure the lives Of women
who use it.
Canned sardines carefully Drowned
on duuble-wire gridiron, and served
with lemon are appetizing.
Plenty of turpentine, to which few
drops of carholic acid is added, will
keep insects from the pantry.
Acid phosphate willremovein ink stains
from the hands.
Any application of spirits will crack
leather.
Use powdered boraX for reaches.

The ItfnerRncy.

The itinerant system was not made
to please the flesh, to minister 10 sloth,
self.indulgence or ease. 1t was never
intended that by it the Church should
be used for the convenience or selfish
ness of preachers. 1t WAS formed tt

intended 10 lead the mini airy TO the
highest and fullest conservation tC
God.
1t tests men, and it makes men
Doubtless there are i'm it mean and ser.
vile natures, who are in it for what il
brings to them and submit to it as they
would to any taskmaster. Doubtless
there are in it men who are narrowed
down to its routine, who come and &c
and do and accept its behests without
inspiration or conflict. Doubtless there
are men who make it the minister of
their ambition or covetOusness; but
these are exceptional cases-they pre-
vent and debauch the system. Woe
be to them but to the man who ac-
cepts it heartily and fully, and moves
on with or without friction in obed-
ience to its claims and allotments,
with an absolute committal OF his case
to God, that man will be blessed iD his
work go forth certainly with weep
ing, and as surely return bringing his
sheaves with him. The man who has
by Gods grace, 80 chastened and sub
dued his spirit as to accept fully the
demands ofan innerant minister's life
and work, that man is in the best state
to meet the claims of the ministry and
secure its best fruit in any system and
the remains of selfpride or worldlines'
which disqualifya a man for the Meth
odist itinerancy will unfit him for the
largest measure of usefulness in any
other plan Of labor.
The system of itinerancy was not
based oil the fact that there will be
neither error nor wrong in the au-
thority which appoints; there may be
both, but these do not aftect,the results;
they may be sore tests of our faith, but
do not despoil the system of its virtue
or fruit. Its efficacy depends on the
spirit in which we accept its claims, the
fidelity with which we labor in its
fields, and the strength of our personal
faith in God.-Dr. McAnally, in St..
Louis Advocate, Dec. 10, 1885.
