And | wish to say candidly, my
brethren, that during my long experience

thought the Presiding Elder held an uR-

from lack Of knowledge than malice.
And as touching our Bishops, Of

certain quarters to speak in terms OF
censure, | desire to leave it as the juds-

the men l have known or been assoc

clean, or holier of heart and life, than
our Bishops. God preserve the genus

with the "spirits Of just men made per-

and freed from all human frailties, he
speaks the pure language Of heaven. In
that language thank God, there are ne

Trinity College has partially recovered
from the covert attacks of those men.
DR.. Gloss was regarded by strangers as
stern and austere; and this seemed to be
true at first sight. He seemed to be. I'M
social and unapproachable; and If he had
been of such figure as to make his cloth
ing look dressy upon him, he would have
been thought proud, as was Bishop Bas-
com. This seeming austerity of manner
] think was caused by his natural diff
fdence, especially when ladies were pre-
sent After equality and confidence had
been established-two qualities so nee
essary to the pleasure of the social cir
cle-he was easy and kindly in manner
and very interesting and instructive in
conversation.
1t seems to be characteristic Of many
great men to have humorous
side to their mental structure. Even the
stern old Puritan warrior, Cromwell,
could not refrain now and then from a
practical joke; and the. inimitable Vance
was a chunk of fun. DIR. Gloss was
humorous and witty-always cheerful
and bright, even down to old age. Some
times the utterance Of single sentence
would cause men to laugh for hours.
His gift of repartee was wonderfully
brilliant. His replies to any manifesto
ton of folly about him were often over
towering, and this peculiar expression
| made the blade cut going and coming.
| He was very gifted in descriptive power,
and when this was exercised upon some
humorous subject, very few could resist

ABOUT THE BABY

Where the baby's gums are red and
painful, they may be gently rubbed
with the finger with a little of the
following mixture: Nitrate of potash,
one scruple; syrup of roses, half an
ounce.
The mouth of the bottle fed baby
should be washed out daily with
soft cloth wet in water in which a
little borax and soda have been dis
solved.
Milk may be testeu by a piece of
blue litmus paper, which becomes red
If placed in anything at all acid. Lit
mus paper can be bought at any
chemists and should be kept in every
nursery. A small piece is to be torn
off, and placed just under the surface
of the milk. AS milk rapidly takes up
any impurities from the air 1t should
be kept in cool place out of the way
OF dust and drainage arrangements.
Milk may be kept good if there is no
refrigerator by turning it out into a
large basin and covering this with a
thin cloth wrung out in cold water.
II an alkali, such as lime water or
carbonate of soda, has to be added to
the milk in order to prevent acidity in
the baby, it should not be added until
the milk is required for use, lest by
taking away the acid taste or smell
1t should prevent detection of the fact
that the milk is not fit for the in
FAINT.
Let the baby sleep. No one has a
right to break in upon the repose or
dained by wise providence for the
healthy development OF the brain and
nervous system Of the little one while
tie miracle of soul Weakening goes on.
Visitors can admire him sufficiently IL
his eyes are closed; and if the hour
tor nursing him passes, it is proof,
conclusive, that nature is fully aware
of his greatest needs and is responding
to them.
