TO Waterproof Canvas.

Scientific American gives this recipe
for waterproofng for canvas: Soft soap
dissolved in hot water and a solution
OF iron sulphate added. The sulphurlc
acid combines with the potash OF the
soap and the iron oxide Is precipitated
with the fatty acid as insoluble iron
soap. This is washed and dried and
mixed with linseed oil.

Con Water and Colds.

The delusion that sea water does not
give cold Is accountable for much harm.
A chill may be caught by wetting from
sea water as quickly as by wetting
from any other water. There Is &
certain stimulation to the skin from
salt. no doubt, but that does not pre-
vent chills from indiscriminate ex-
posure to wetting by salt water, and
chills are fertile causes OF illness. Chill
to the lower part of the body Is always
dangerous TO any one. Ii Is much more
so TO a child than 10 q grown person.
though man. people seem to think the
reverse is the case

Of unciycumcision was commit
ed unto Paul. Again, these facts
confirm what we have previously I
stated concerning Christ's mis-
sion on earth. His work was
with the Jews first, the Gentiles
next. Before his death he com
mitted this great charge unto Pet
or, or, in other words Christ com
mandcd him to feed his sheep;
and On the day 81 Pcntecost,
Peter received the plomsie; and
| then he fully knew what his mis-.
| sion was among the Jews; and
Eal! things outside Of the bringing
+ in of the Genti.es, We're brought
/ to his remembrance, whatsoever
( the Lord had told him, And
again, through Christ's death,
/ the Gentiles wece given eternal
life, and Paul was made d min
ister unto them; a minister Of
the gospel Of uncircumcision.
4 So from this we soc that there
was way provided, Whereby the
Gentiles might be saved, alto
gether different from the way
4 laid out for the Jews. And also
it is plain enough TO see the mis-
sion Of those two chosen men
One to 90 among tie Gentiles
and the other among the Jews
And this was no selection cl
choice Of work Of their owl
design; but it was God workins
in them, making Of one, a min
lister of the gospel OF circumci
sion, and the other, a minister o
the gospel of uncircumc!sion
And when Paul went up to Jeru
salem to communicate unto tn,
ap ostles that dwelt there. tn
gospel Of uncircumcision which
he himself, was q minister Of. tn
object which be had in view wa
that, at that meeting, there shout
be confirmation of the ospt
which he preached, by the othe
apostles, that there shoud DO

DIR. ELIoT's GENTLEMAN.

Discussing the characteristics of a
gentleman in democratic society,
President Elliot said that he should
be gentle of speech, quiet of demean-
Or a serene person who does not
bluster or hustle or hurry or vocifer-
ate, but who pays attention with the
intent mind which is requisite to eff
fectiveness. He accorded him the
disposition to see the superiorites in
persons rather than their inferiori-
ties, and a preference for the society
of his superiors. And he held that he
should have generous spirit, con-
forming his life to his resources,
avoiding both lavishness and parsi-
mony.
He should be considerable too, es-
pecially toward those who are in any
way in his power, and should scrupEs
lousy avoid hurting any one weaker
than himself. He even denied him
the precious privilege of being lazy
His democratic gentleman must be a
power, a worker, a dfsinterested Ia
borer in the service of others; not
weakling or a mere pleasure-seeker,
but a strong and hard-working man.

A tree is the latest novelty report
ed across the Atlantic The consul
of the United States of Colombia
writes that in the woods adjacent to
the city of Moy ebamba, exists a tree
called by the natives ''rain tree
which possesses some remarkable
qualities. 1t is tree about fifty feet
high when at maturity, and about
three feet in diameter at the base;
and has the property of absorbing an
immense quantity and humidity from
the atmosphere, which it concentrates
and subsequently, pOurs forth from its
leaves and branches in shower, and
in such abundance that in many cases
the ground of it's neighborhood is
coverted into perfect bog. 1t pos
esses this curious property in it's
greatest degree in summer precisely
when the rivers are at their lowest,
and water most scarce; and the writ
er proposes that it should be planted
in the more rigid regions of Peru for
the benefit of agriculturists.
