Sincere Conversions Impossible.

The Hebrew Standard, commenting
on the discredit recently falling upon
converted jew" conducting Pres
bytcrian mission in New York, says
sweepingIy;
70 our view, there never has been
nor will there ever be, a sincere conver
sion from Judaism to Christianity,
Some motive other than conviction,
tho not apparent to human eyes, has
been the impelIing cause in every case
Of apostasy. As it is physically impos
sible for water to run up hill 10 it is
intellectually impossible for n jew to
believe in dogmatic Christianity; for as
the one wonld be violation of nature,
20 would the other be a crime without
reason.

WHAT TO EAT.

some Sensible Suggestions That Should
Be Posted In Every Household.
Aralstonite, writing in that excel
lent gastronomic journal, What to Eat,
makes a few sensible suggestions in re-
gard to the diet that ought to be posted
in every household. He says that the
healthiest and purest lives come from
those who do net eat meat before the
age of 10.
Potatoes, sliced thin and fried, are in
digestible. While tasting delicious, they
afford no real nourishment and cause
arrangement of the liver.
Cake clogs the stomach. All rich
pastry is poison to the liver. Soft cara
mels and creams are also bad for any
one with liver at all rebellious
When you get old, look out for your
food. Do you every notice that grand
fathers face is noN as jolly as it used
to be? His strength Of mind also seems
slowly disappearing, though he is get
ting feshier every day. He needs a
change of food. Probably he has been
eating buckwheat cakes and sirup, white
bread and butter, sugar, fat meats, etc.
Give him lean meat and fish, cracked
wheat and potatoes, barley cakes, rye
bread or southern corn cakes. Try it,
and instead of moping and sitting round
the house all day you will find him run
ming around lively as cricket.
Maybe, On the contrary, he is growing
thin and pale. Then he needs buck
wheat and molasses, fat meats, mashed
potatoes in milk, northern corn, cracked
wheat and fish, oatmeal porridge and
fruits every morning.
All rules have their exceptions, and
the diet described for the mass may not
answer for exceptional cases, but the
following directions are good for the
majority:
Milk is the simplest and most natural
food. If you cannot drink it, your stom-
ach is in diseased condition. Cheese is
good substitute, if mild, fresh and
made from pure milk and cream. Per-
sons who live mostly en- vegetables have
the best nerves and the best complex
ions. Red pepper is an excellent condi-
ment. Its effect upon the liver is re-
markahle. Malaria, intermittent fever
or congestive chills cannot endure the
presence of red pepper. Pure red pepper
(known as cayenne) should be on every
table.
Ill health is caused largely by i'm
proper food or ty food which is in a bad
condition when it is eaten.

We noticed in the NORTHWEST of
May Goth correction of what we said
April 30th, concerning the Ladies Aid
Society of Grelton. For ourselves
we wish to say that if we have been
missinformed and made a mistake we
are ready to apologize and hence beg
the pardon of the ladies of Grelton.
But in glancing over the correction
we note the following: Young
ladies' baskets were auctioned off to
the highest bidder Which is to say
that the basket together with its
young lady was to go by chance to
some young man, iJ was not known
who. If that isn't a 'game of chance
what is it? And one of the principle
things the Christian church was in
stituted to overthrow.
