THE IDEA OF LENT,

Lent is here. The Rev MT Bielby made some seasonable remarks on the subject on Sunday. We presume with it's com ing the gaities of the season will close and men and women will give themselves up to more serious view of life. All good churchmen, or Episcopalians as they are sometimes called, look upon Lent in ve~y much the same way as oth- CT church people look upon a revival. They do not get at it in quite the same way but nevertheless the end aimed at is about the same. The strengthening of the religious and moral character is a very necessary thing for the Christian if he is to make any progress in holiness. A few weeks set apart specially for this object seems peculiarly appropriate. It is not the mere giving up of gaities and abstaining from delicacies. etc., that con- stitute churchman's Lent. No, his real Lent lies deeper than that, it reaches the soul and that life which is hid with Christ in God. It is not only rest and a deni- al of self, it is also a step nearer God and heaven. To the body it may seem fas but realty to the soul it is feast, if en- tered into with right spirit and carried out in an understanding manner.
 Mrs George Wheeler's funeral was held in her late home at Macedonia on Sun day at l o'clock. Rev W. +. Bielby of ficiated and made an address. The in- terment was in South Amenia. Mrs Wheeler had been sick for some months but the end came much sooner than was expected. She leaves husband aud a son and daughter at home and married daughter in Waterbury.
 Special services will be held on We'd nesday evenings during Lent ill St An 1rpw'S church The Holy COmmunfe r will be administered on the first SundaJ in Lent at the morning service.
 Rev W. F. Bielby, rector of Saint An drew's church Kent, was out of town al- most all of last week, attending a meeting of the Lltchfeld Archdeaconry at Pine Grove, Conn.,, and afterwards visiting his eldest daughter. who is away at school in MiddletOwn. He reports the snow storm as something furious in the northern part of the state.
 Ash Wednesday services were held in St Andrews church, morning and ev- ening. The holy communion was ad- mnietered at the morning servic".

For the last twenty-thres years every blast
of injustice against me has multiplied my
readers all the world over. and the present
naiignancy printed AMI uttered becaue our
church is in financial struggle after having
:wo great structures destroyed by fire and
We compelled to build three large churches
I say the present outrageous injustice in
Iome quarters will multiply my audience in
Ill lands if can keep in good humor and
lot fight back.
A gentleman tapped me on the shoulder
,ummer before last on a street OF Edinburgh
Scotland, and said, az live in the Shetland
Islands, North Scotland, and read your SER
mons every Sabbath to an audience OF neigh
)ors. and my brother lives in Cape Town,
south Africa, and he reads them every Sab
oath to an audience of his neiShbors." And
hear and now say to the forty millions of
the earth to whose eyes these words will
come, that one of my dearest anticipations
Is to meet them in heaven. All, that will be
better than rubies.
Coming up from different continents, from
different hemispheres, from opposite sides
Of the earth, to greet each other in holy love
In the presence OF the glorious Christ who
made it possible for US to get there. Our
sins all pardoned, our sorrows all
oanished, never TO weep, never to
part, never 10 die 1 tell you
hat will be better than rubies. Others may
nave the crowns, and the thrones, and the
scepters give us our old friends back again,
Christ. ''the friend who sticketh closer than
a brother" and all the kindred who have got
up from our bereft households, and all our
friends whom we h3ve never vet seen, and
"better than rubfes."
Instead of the dying kiss whea shey looked
80 pale and wan and sick. it would be the
Kiss Of welcome on lips jubilant with song,
while standing on floors paved with what ex-
luisiteness, under ceilings hung with what
glory, bounded by walls facing US with what
splendor, amid gladness rolling over US with
what doxology-far better, infinitely better,
everlastingly better than rubies

81 wish" said an experienced ply
siciaD, 'that l could impress on my
patients and the public generally the
fact that iced food and beverages are
Staying their thousands and tens or
thousands in the large cities of this
country every year. There are few
things in which the majority OF peo-
pie indulge that are so deadly in their
effects. OF course, things taste well,
and no injurious results are observed
Immediately, but all the same the
deadly cold is doing its work by sap
ping the vitality and entirely under
mining the whole system. The pow
ers of the human family are limited;
and, as natural consequence, when
there is a continual draught on the
vitality, there must come a time
when it shows signs of failure.
"Many of our recipes give directions
for covering this, that and the other
vegetable with chopped Ice, pounded
ice or shaved ice-anything to lower
the temperature; or the food is pre-
pared for the table and placed in the
ice-box or on the block Of ice until it
is thoroughly chilled; and then prob
ably coming in from the intense heat
of summer day, people sit down to
the table and parta!;e freely of these
things, often eating immoderately,
because it is so cool and refreshing,
as they say; then deluging the stom-
ach with glass after glass of ice-water
or iced tea, they arise from the table
with long breath of satisfaction,
and declare that they feel so much
better.
"Weli, probably they do for the
moment, and they never seem able to
comprehend that when some hours
after thev feel overtaxed and hsve a
headache and nausea and blinu spells,
that they are paying the legitimate
penalty for their over-indulgence in
such denominations.
Il venture the assertion, and | am
sure my brethren in the profession
would sustain me, that half the dis
eases incident to the summer sea on
are produced or aggravated by eating
cold food. And it seems so hopeless
to try to impress this on the minds
of the people generally, that l have
almost given up in despair, and have
concluded that unless the sufferers
are persons over whom | have author
lty, it is waste of time to express an
opinion. New York Ledger.

It was demonstrated by Amsrican

Of the strongest demonstration OF tins

where ths balance of nutritive powe:
should be so even, that tendency u
nermaphrodis I, or at least a closer re-
lation between the separate sexes should
exist than is usually the case in conif-
erous and related plants. This closer
relation is often seen in the India

How fbe Rus,1au; Afix sfamn,.

Americans who chance t. receive let.
ters from Russia are usually surprised to
find the foreign postage stamp on their
envelope used as 4 sea,-affixei, that is
to say, to the centre of the side opposite
to that on which the ad iress is written.
Sometimes Russians settling in the
Cnited States continue the practice ac-
qa.rsd at home, much, of course, to the
annoyance OF United States postoffice
officials. A case of this kind occurred
recently in New York State, but it WAS
explained quite inadequatelv by writer,
who alleged that the colonists sealed
their letters with the postage stamp be-
cause communications fro the United
States were usually opened IN the Rus

AmnricIn Moroccl LEATHER.

Very little morocco leather is no v i'm.
po.tei into this country. Up to about
the year 1889 niue-tenths of the morocco
used was imported, and the an1uls
manufactured here was quite small. Ina
proportions have been about reverse
tbe last twelve years, and now the op:.
nut of Philadelphia, Wilmington, b IS.
ton and Lynn is far greater tlan thJ
total consumption was at the tims
named. There Is absolutely no reason
why auy OF this article should be in.
po-ted at ell, and the home-mlde graz
are really better on the average than au
taat eau be imported. One American
house now turns out 200 or $1,000
skins day, and the slaughter of goats
for the purpose is quite extensive. 1t il
estimated that as many a. 100000
ooats are slaugdterei for their skins
every year, and this IS probably true,
although most pe)p.e would be apt to
doubt whether there are as many OF
these interesting animals in existence.-
