About year ago the community was grieved to
hear of the destruction Of st. Andrews church by

OF 127th street and Fourth avenue. In the
grounds around 1t slumbered two generations of
its people, cd the lofty trees on either side
almost obscured the church from view. Last
winter the little church was burned to the ground.

No other gem, says a writer in Lip
pincott for June, has been. counter
feited with such perfection as the emer-
aid and in fact it is utterly impossible
to distinguish the artificial from the
real gems by the aid of the eye alone
even the little flaws which lull the sus-
picions of the inexperienced are easily
produced by dexterous blow from the
mallet of the skillful artisan. Not only
emeralds but most of the gems and pre-
cious stones are now initiated with such
consumate skill as to deceive the eye,
and none but experts are aware of the
extent to which these fictitious gems
are worn in fashionable society, for of
tentimes the wearers themselves imag-
inc that they possess the real stones.
There is not one in hundred of jewel
ers who is acquainted with the physical
properties of the gems, and very few
can distinguish the diamond from the
1cron or the white topaz, the emerald
from the fourmaline of similar hue, the
sapphire from the iolite, or the topaz
from the Bohemian yellow quartz. Jew
elers are governed generally by sight,
which they believe infallible, whilst
hardness and specific gravity are the
only sure tests. Artificial gems rival
ing in beauty of color the most brilliant
and delicately tinted of the productions
of nature are now made at Paris and
other European cities. The establish
ments at Septmoncel in the Jura alone
employ a thousand persons, and fabu-
lous quantities of the glittering pastes
are made there and sent to all parts of
the world.

A number of mysterious manifesto
tions are traceable to the simple fact of
recurrence of impressions altogether in
dependently of the will. There are
others which are purely volitional, and
these constitute district class of hal
lucinatory phenomena. They are. illu-
sions produced by what l should call
the faculty of projection of objects that
have, been received from without by the
brain and fixed in it. We exercise this
faculty, naturally, when at will we re-
picture to ourselves, or project, what
we have seen, heard, felt, or otherwise
received by the senses. We recall
landscape we have surveyed, tune we
have heard, and the like aud if the
impression be correctly fixed in US, and
we will it to return, it comes back cor
rectly. In the act we project from us
that which we recall, and look at it, or
listen to it, as if it were again external
to us. This faculty, exalted to an un-
natural degree, is fruitful source of
illusion. Wigan supplies a striking IL
lustration of the kind in the case of an
eminent portrait painter who followed
Sir Joshua Reynolds. The painter III
question once produced three hundred
portraits from his own hand in one year.
When asked on what this peculiar pow
er of rapid work depended, he an
swered that when sitter came to him,
he looked at him attentively for half an
hour, sketching from time to time on
the canvas then he put away the can
vas and took another sitter. When
he wished to resume the first
portrait, he said : ST took the
man and put him in the chair,
where saw him as distinctly as if he
had been before me in his own proper
person. When / looked at the chair I
saw the man" After a while the pain
ter began to fail to discover the differ
ence between the real and the imagi-
nary sitters, so that he became actually
insane and remained in an asylum for
thirty years.. Then his mind was re-
stored to him, and he resumed the pen
ell; but the old evil threatened to re-
turn, and he once more forsook his art,
soon afterward to die Talma, the ac-
tor, had faculty of mental projection
equally singular with that possessed by
the artist whose history Wigan has re-
lated Talma could project before
himself the form of a human skeleton
with such perfection of detail that to
him the form was reality, and when
he stood before the foot-hghts he had
in his presence, in the theatre, an audi
ence of skeletons. Popular Science

The Popular Science Monthly says


that propably the most frequent way in


which the ear is impaired is by the at


tempt to clean it. It ought to be un-


derstood that the passage of the ear


does not require cleaning by us. Ma


ture undertakes that task, and in the


healthy state fulflls it perfectly. Her


means for cleaning the ear is the wax.


Perhaps the reader has never wondered
what becomes of the ear-wax. i will
tell him 1t dries up into thin, white


scales, and these peel off, one by one,


from the surface of the passage, and
fall out imperceptibly, leaving behind
them a perfectly clean, smooth surface.


In health the passage of the ear is nev-


er dirty but, if we attempt to clean it


we infallibly make it so. Hereby a
strange lack of justice, as it would


seem, which, however, has, no doubt,
deep justice at the bottom-the best
people, those who love cleanliness,


suffer most, and good and careful nurses
do a mischief negligent ones avoid.


Washing the ear out with soap and
water is bad it keeps the wax moist
when it ought to become dry and scaly,
increases its quantity unduly, and
makes it absorb the dust with which
the air always abounds. But the most
hurtful thing is introducing the corner
of the towel, screwed up, and twisting
it round. This does more harm to the
ears than all the other mistakes to-
gether. It drives down the wax upon
the membrane much more than it gets
out. Let any one who doubts this
make a tube like the passage, es-
pecially with the curves which it pos
sesses let him put thin membrane at
one end, smear the surface with sub
stance like the ear-wax, and then try
to get it out so by towel. But this
plan does much more mischief than
merely pressing down the wax. It ir-
ritates the passage, and makes it cast
off small fakes of skin, which dry up
and becore extremely hard, and these
are also hardly pressed down upon the
membrane. Often it is not only deaf
ness that ensues, but pain and infam-
nation, and then matter is formed
which the hard mass prevents from es-
Gaping, and the membrane becomes
diseased, and worse may follow. Wash
ing should extend only to the outer
surface, as far as the finger can reach.
1t is bad practice, also, to put cotton
wool soaked in laudanum or chloroform
into the ear for the relief of earache.
When child's ear becomes painful, as
it often does, everything should be
done to soothe it, and all strong, irri-
tating applications should be avoided.
Pieces of hot fig or onioH should not be
put in, but warm fannels should be ap-
pliei, with poppy fermentation, if the
pain should not soon subside. It should
be remembered that constantly covering
up the ear is adapted to injure it. On
the whole, men, in whom the ear is
habitually exposed, suffer, if anything,
less from ear-disease than women, in
whom it is often covered.

"And when they had sung hymn they went ou

What song sang the twelve with the Saviour
When finished the sacrament wine?
Were they bowed and subdued in behavior,
Or bold as made bold with a sign2 '
We're the hairy breasts strong and defiant?
We're the naked arms brawny and strong?
Were the bearded lips lifted reliant,


Thrust forth and full hardy with song?
What sang they? What sweet song of Zion,
With Christ in their midst like a crown?
While here sat Saint Peter, the lion;


And there, like lamb, with head down,
Sat Saint John, with his silken and raven
Rich hair on his shoulders, and eyes
Lifting up to the faces unshaven


Like q sensitive child's in surprise.
Was the song as strong fishermen swinging
Their nets full of hope to the sea?
Or low, like the ripple-wave, singing


Sea-songs on their loved Galilee?
Were they sad with foreshadow of sorrows,
Like the birds that sing low when the breezC
Is tip-tOe with a tale of tomorrow
