COL DEN SILENCE.

Thomas Carlyle, though great
talker on occasions, did not talk with
people who, in his opinion, were not
worth his talk. A young American
once called on "the sages of Chelsea
with letter Of introduction from a
friend.
Carlyle talked with him long
enough to get the impression that
the young man had no ideas to ex-
change for his own, and then relapsed
into sullen silence, gazing the while
steadily into the fire.
The visitor, who was much awed
by the presence OF the great man, sat
in similar silence for several minutes.
Then it occurred to him that his host
was waiting for him to say some
thing.
"Ah-Mr. Carlyle" he began, fall
teringly, what fine old neighbour
hoOd-ah-Chelsea is"
Don't interrupt mel" Numbered
Carlyle, looking up angrily.
"Ah, but, Mr.. Carlyle !" said the
young man, in astonishment, but
you weren't saying anything!"
Saying anything? No, you block
head; you interrupted my silence !"-

4 QUEER LEGAL QUESTION.

A serious ecclesiastical question
has arisen in parish II Norfolk,
England. A plot of land was recent
ly added to the churchyard, and a
controversy at once sprang up
whether the additional should be
consecra ted before the preparatory
crop of mustard seed was sown, or
after. Those who advocated an
Immediate conservation contended
that so long as such a cerem onial is
considered essential it might as we'll
be performed at once. The stricter
churchmen, however, asserted that
such an act would be a sacrilege,
since it would be consecra ting to
Gods service a crop of mustard seed
which would be replaced by grass a
year hence. Not only that, but the
grass seed would then be uncon-
secrated. For these reasons they
believe that the foundations of
religion will be undermined unless
the conservation is deferred until the
permanent grass seed is sown!

HE KNEW THE CONGRESSMAN.

Prof. Wilson tells good one on
himself to illustrate the enthusiasm
which attended his renomina ton in
West Virginia. During the jollifica-
zion alter the convention a rather
sporty looking man somewhat the
worse for wear and too much liquid
refreshment, approached Professor
Wilson, and throwing his arms
about him, asked in plaintive tone,
Willie, don't you know me :" The
professor was somewhat taken
aback, but could not recall the en-

LIME AND LIME WA TER.

The uses of so homely an article as
lime about the household are almost
innumerable, just the ordinary lime
that one sees the plasterer and the
bricklayer use in preparing his pacts
of plaster or mortar. Even when re-
duced to an almost lmpalpable solu-
ton in water it is still efficaciOus in
a remarka BILE variety Of instances.
One sees the hodmen on a new build
ing keep their drinking water in a
pail that is coated with lime, and
one thinks that it is poor receptacle
for the universal beverage. Yet it
would not be so good or so pure
served in a silver ice pitcher. The
lime water Of the druggist is indeed
nothing more than this solution of
the hodmen. A piece of unslacked
lime in perfectly clean bottle, with
cold water poured over it, the bottle
corked and kept in a cool, dark
place. is full recipe for lime water.
1t is ready for use in few moments
after the water is poured on. This
lime water has a number of uses, as
we'll as the lime itself. A spoonful of
it in cupful or milk is a remedy for
the summer complaint common to
children. 1t is admirable for cleans
ing nursing bottles. 1t corrects
acidity of the stomach. 1t will
prevent the turning of milk or
cream, and cupful added to bread
sponge will keep it from souring
Allowed to evaporate from a vessel
over the stove, its steam proves a
wonderful alienation for the dis
tresses due to lung fever, Group or
diphtheretic ailment 1t will sweeten
and purify bottles, jugs, ETC., and,
lastly, few spoonfuis OF it poured
on potted plants will rid them very
effectually of pot worms.
Lime, itself, as every one knows, is
invaluable as a purifier and disin-
fectant. Sprinkled in cellars and
closets, where there is a slight damp
ness, it will not only serve as
purifier, but it is a valuable pre-
ventive against the invasion of
noxious animals. In greater cases,
such as the distinction of vessels
and hospitals, it is recognized as a
chief agent. 1t Is one of the notable
instances of the economy and of the
bounty of nature that this article,
SO cheap and common. is serviceable
in so many instances N. Y. Tribune

"REFRESHLNG SLEEP"

An interested observer assures US
that in order to enjoy the most re-
freshing sleep one should sleep in the
dark. The sweetest and most undis-
turbed sleep is always enjoyed in a
thoroughly darkened room. Light
acts upon the brain, and those who
sleep with their blinds up will find
that in the summer time, when SO
few hours are really dark, their sleep
is restless and disturbed. This is
often placed to the account Of heat,
but more often than not it is the
light which causes wakefulness,
when, as natural consequence. the
body becomes aware Of the heat.
Night lights should never become a
matter of necessity. A match and
candle by the bedside should be quiet
sufficient. The wish for artificial
light through the night is a de-
PRAYED taste in the young and
healthy, and should not be en-
couraged.-T Christian Advocate.
