Honey.

According TO II writer In Health, hon
ey Is valuable medicine and has
many uses. Ii Is excellent in most
lung and throat affections and is often
used with great benefit in place of cod
liver oil. Occasionally there Is per
son with whom II does not agree, but
most people can learn to use 1t with
beneficial results, Children who have
natural appetites generally prefer 1t to
butter Honey is a laxative and seda-
tive, and in diseases of the bladder and
kidneys 1t is an excellent remedy.
1t has much the same effect as wine
or stimulants, without their injurious
effects, and Is unequaled in mead and
harvest drinks. As an external appli-
cation 1t Is irritating when clear, but
soothing when diluted In many places
1t is much appreciated as a remedy for
Group and colds. In preserving fruit
the formic acid II contains makes a
better preseyative than sugar sirup,
and II IL also used in cooking and con-
fections. Honey does not injure the
teeth rs candies do.

In Its early days, when, ii is TO be
hoped, 1t was more toothsome than it
Is now. the hot cross bun played some
part IN converting the people Of these
islands to Christianity. Pagan England
was in the habit of eating cakes In
honor of the goddess of spring. and
Christian missionaries found that
though they could alter the views of
the people In reference to religious
matters they could not induce them to
withhold from the consumption of con-
feetionery. So they put the sign of the
cross upon the bun of the Saxon era
and launched 1t upon missionary enter
prise which has extended through the
intervening centuries and survived till
now.-London Tit-Bits.

SHORT SERMONS.

He that doth the kindness has the
nobler pleasure of the two.
How shall man find grace with
God? How else except by lowliness Of
mind?
Faith and obedience are bound up In
the same bundle. He that obeys God
trusts God and he that trusts God
obeys God.
The real blessing, mercy, satisfaction,
Is not in the having or the lack of
merely outward things, but In the con-
seriousness that the true sources Of life
and happiness are deeper than all these.
For those who live with their whole
talents dedicated to Gods service
death is only the gate of life, the path
from joyous work In this world to
greater capacities and opportunities for
It In the other.

Spanish Dances.

Spanish dances have a certain resem.
blance to the dances OF the east. In
our country ones idea of n dance Is
something in which the movement is
due to the legs. In Japan and in Egypt
the legs have very little to do with the
dance. The exquisite rhythms of Jap.
anese dances are produced by the sub.
tie gesture of hands, the manipulation
of scarfs, the delicate undulations OF
the body. In Arab dances and in the
danse du ventre the legs are more near.

to assist in producing the extraordi.
nary movements of the stomach and
the hips in which SO much of the dance
consists.
1t Is dance in which the body sets
itself to its own rhythm. Spanish
dancing, which no doubt derives its
eastern color from the Moors. is al.
most equally a dance of the whole
body, and its particular characteristic
the action of the hips--is due to a
physical peculiarly OF the Spaniards,
whose spines have special and unique
curve of their own.
