Nineteenth Century Progress.

Bishop Spalding began by reviewing at
some length the progress of mankind dur
ing the nineteenth century, which was
greater. he said, than during any previous
period of one thousand years or more.
Continuing, he said:
But il is especially in the matter of edu-
cation that the superiority of our age over
all others is most manifest In the past
knowledge was a privilege of the few and
the masses were ignorant: and hence the
state was mOnarchical or aristocratic. even
democratic. BY the beginning of the pres
eut century, however, gradual movement
which had been in progress from the be-
ginning of our era. whose origin, impulse
and abiding force We're Christian. had
brought the multitude to a perception of
their rights and powers, and in consequence
had sharpened the sense of the needs of
popular education.

iOOOs of UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS SAY,
Proof Positive.

Two men were standing outside jewell
ers' window admiring the gorgeous display
of glittering gems that lay before them
Presently one of them, pointing to an object
in red plush tray, said:
"Just look at that scarfpin, representing
a fly. Anyone can tell that's not real"
well, should think SO" answered the
friend. "Who ever saw a common fly with
such bright appearance? Why, it makes
me weary when l think that the jeweler
who produced that fondly hoped that some
one would purchase it to deceive his friends,
If l saw that on mans scarf | could tell
directly that it was an enameled imitation"
At that moment the object of their con.
demnation moved across the tray, flew in
the air, and vanished. The two men looked
at each other, gasPed, and moved away
without a word.-Pearson' Weekly.

PARIsIAN BARRIERS now cut hair by
electricity. An electric comb is used.
1t looks like the ordinary comb, except
that thin wire is stretched above the
upper portion of the teeth along the
handle. The wire is connected cleo
trically with storage battery. When
the battery is connected the wire be-
comes red hot. Therefore when this
comb passes through the hair the lat.
ter is burned off by the red hot wire.
The whole operation is 30 rapid that a
heavy head of hair may be clipped in a
few minutes. Not only this but the
ends of the hair can not bleed, as the
ends become scared.

For many centuries it has been the
common belief that salt and much of it
is necessary to the human system. Few
people are aware that on an average
the food we eat contains sufficient of
the mineral for all ordinary purposes.
Many physicians, on the contrary, are
now tending to the belief that salt is
moderately, if not highly, deleterious
to the system. 1t is true that certain
animals require it in large quantities,
but this does not hold for the human
race. Sailors, who are confined almost
entirely TO the use of salty food, suffer
ills unspeakable on long voyages.

Much of the labor of house cleaning may
be avoided by the exercise of good judg-
ment and management. Pleasant weather
must be selected for the work, usually the
first of May is the best time to begin. Every
thing should be in readiness beforehand.
Brooms, brushes, tacks and strings should
be provided. The windows and paints can
be perfectly cleaned by washing with warm
water and Ivory Soap; the free use of lime
and borax will purify and deodorize tho
