Animalism In Man.

"When God wanted to mako the best
thing he knew how to make, ho composed
1t of one part spirit and one part matter
ono grain of Deity to ono of dust, writes
Rev Charles III. Parkhurst, d. d., in The
Indies Home Journal. There is nothing
in the history of that transaction to indi-
cate that man without body is man any
moro than man without spirit is man. AL
such reference to the body as that it is a
caskot for the occupancy of tho jewel or q
cage for tho temporary retention vi tho
imprisoned spirit is sheer gratuity and Is
like the language that the more favored
classes sometimes use of those less favored,
who forget that those who arc at tho top
arc so in considerable degree because those
who are underneath furnish the founda-
ton and make the opportunity. Animal
ish is an ingrained factor, and wo shall be
great deal moro sensible and far better
off If we accept the situation with serenity.
The whole doctrine of tho resurrection is
way that Scripture and the church have
taken to record tho Importance they attach
to the body as an inalienable element OF
our being The body is SO framed in with
the Other elements of our being that they
will not DO at their best unless it Is Mt its
best, which will not DO the case except as
consequence of tho respect we show 1t and
dignity we accord to it,"

A SCENE AT THE HOSPITAL.
Experiences OF n Professional Man who
Said That Doctors Were Hearticss.

Experiences OF Professional Man Who
Said That Doctors Were Hcartless.
An opinion was expressed by n profcs-
sional man tho other day that doctors were
heartless lot of people, and tho man who
expressed it backed it up with an incident
he had witnessed in q hospital.
A patient was suffering from hydropho-
bia, and the professional man, who WIS
looking mt tho sufferer, asked the doctor:
Docs the sight of water throw him into
spasm?'
You can SEQ for YOURSELF replied the
doctor, and ho produced glass of water.
the Sight OF which brought on a spasm
horrible to witness.
Some time later, when the ward whore
the sufferer was lying was visited by two
physicians, ono of them asked the attend
ing doctor:
''What is his condition? Has he got any
chance of getting well?"
"Ho is very low, - was the reply Hes
likely to die my minute. You'll DO at the
autopsy tomorrow won't you?'
"That shocked me- " said the profession
oil man. 1T was all right, l know The
patient didn't understand, but the idea
was shocking. 1t WAS cold blooded 1t
doesn't seem to mo that q human being
could ever permit himself to become so
callous. But they do. want to say right
now that If 1 am ever sick shall protest
against going to hospital so long as there
is breath in my body. I'll die at homo or
in the street, but no hospital ever gets me,

EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION.

is the family stateroom, for use on Sun
days and festivals. 1t does not bear what
ono may term homely look, and for all
its splendor it is likely to be the least Glenn
room in tho house.
The village tipplers and gossips are con-
fined to the large room provided with o

ut two glasses for halfpence, read the
