With Unexpected Blessings.

“Tf we had only to demand from God
just what we desire, and in the way
andthe time that suits our pleasure,
then we would be snatching
scepter and trying to rule the ruler of
the universe. Did you ever know a
child that ruled its parents without
ruining itself? And if it spoils our
children to have their own way, I am
sure that it would be for our ruin if
we could bend God to all our wishes,
If this be our ‘expe: tation’ from God
then the we abandon it the
better, God keeps all His promises,
but He has never promised to let you
andme hold the reins. He answers
prayer, but in the way and at the time
that His infinite wisdom determines.
Some prayers are not answered at
once: more than one faithful mother
lins gone to her grave before the child
for whose conyersion she prayed has
giyen his heart to Jesus. Some prayers
are answered in a way so unlooked for

God’s

sooner

that the answer is not recognized.
Eternity will ‘make it plain’; for

many petitions are answered according
to the intention, and not according to
the letter of the request ; the
blessing granted has been something
different from what the believer ex-
pected. Jacob, when he blessed the
sons of Joseph, laid his right hand on
the son who stood at his left side. So
God sometimes takes off His hand of
blessing from the thing we prayed for
and lays it on another, which is more
for our good and His own glory. He
often surprises His people with unex-

cted blessings; and heaven will have
abundance of such surprises,”—Rev.

Nervous Prostration

It is now a well established fact in
medical science that nervousness is due
to impure blood. Therefore the true
way to cure nervousness is by purify-

“For the last two years I have been a

BREAKFAST — SUPPER,

“ By a thorougi knowledge of the natural
laws which govern the operations of digestion
and nutrition, and by a careful application of
the fine properties of well selected Cocoa, Mr.
Epps has provided for our breakfast and
supper a delicately flavored beverage which
may save use many heavy doctors’ bills. It is
by the judicious use of such articles of diet
that a constitution may be gradually built up

their two-daughters, Phoebe and Alice.

The poor but courented and very
happy. ‘Pheir worldly po:sessions always

with her poetry, was destined to drive the

They moved to New York citv when
Phoebe was about twenty five years of

age, and soon becume knownas women of
more than ordinary talents. They joined
the Church of the Pilgrims, and two years

afterwards the Church of the Stzangers.
Here they found « good friend in Dr

as Phoebe used to say, she never could for-

poor seemed nearer to her than the rich.
The following incident respecting one of

her hymus has its trathfalness vouched
for by an eye-witness of great veracity —
Col. Russel H. Conwell, of Boston ; While

v-siting China he was intensely anxious
tohauve an insight into the heart of its
social life, and for this purpose visited,
u.oug other places, the gambling dens.
In cne of these be found two of his Ameri-
enn countrymen, one a young manaid

They min avswered that he was
\ aware that he had been singing a
iymu. The older one then repeated some
rf tl lines which were familiarized to
him by being the evening hymn often
suag in the Christian home of his boyhood

“Oh,” said the one, “I learned

younger

that hymn at Sunday School years ago.”
‘Come, Harry,” said the elder one, “here
is what I have stolen from you. As for

Tire Punctured by a Snake.

The other day a bicycle rider was coast
ing down a hill at Pulaski in the western
part of Pennysl ania. He saw a big
snake lying directly in his path. The
motions of the snake confused the bicy-
clist, and he was compeiled to run over It,
As the front wheel struck the serpent his
fangs shot out, and the bicyclist had not
gone far, so he says, when the front tire
collapsed, An examination disclosed the
fact that the snake's fangs had punctured
the tire. A Middlesex physician examin-
eithe snake,which the young man con-
sidered a trophy, and lent corroboration
to the story by discovering minute partic-
le: of vulcanized rubber in the teeth.

OCZS YOUR CHILD EAT DIRT?

A Carvieus Habii
the Very Young.

Which Prevail. Among

Dirt-cating is a more common habit
among children than most ®-onle would
imagine. A very interesting paper on
this curious habit is contributed by Dr

|

ODDS AND ENDS.

“We have no use for bear stories,” said
the editor. “Our readers demand some-
thing spicy.”

“Well,” said the man, “this story 18

about a cinnamon bear.” —Spots Afield.

John Thomson to a recent number of the |

Edinburgh Hospital Reports, After eiv-
ing some account of the habit as observed
by travellers indifferent parts of the
world and by agriculturists amoug un-
healthy young animals, he states that the
dirt has a well defined hygienic value,
and is eaten by children for medical pur-
poses. ‘The physical ailing which brings
on the appetite for dirt is in most cases
annem ia, or *‘ bloodlassness,’’ which simply
means arunning down of the sytem. In
these cases, Dr. Thomson thinks,the habit
might be formed from an instinctive
craving for earthy salts. such as iron and
lime, just as a cat or dog, when needing
a little ‘‘physic,’’ will eat a blade op so of
grass. .

In some tests mace by the doctor to
prove the soundness of his theory, he
placed a number of children ina room
eentaining loose wall plaster and cinders.

These substances contain lime and iron
salts. The children, who were about
three years of age, were observed from

time to time munching on alump of the
stuff picked up from the floor. One child
varied the pastime by pushing the hearth
brush into the ashes and then licking the
duat off it as a great delicacy. This habit
is common enough among idiots and im-
beciles, but none of Dr. Thomson's cases
was suffering from mental disorder.

As a cure the children were placed for
a time in the hospital, where they under-
went no treatment beyond a forced absten-
tion from their pecuilar diet. After afew
days they had apparently lost all appetite
for dirt. Dr. Thomson does not think
that small amounts of ‘‘dirt’’ eaten by
children will doany harm of itself, but
the yzreat danger is that they will get
hoid of something poisonous or of some
parasite which, once entering the stomach,
will reverse the operation by feeding off
his host.

A Drop of Water.

Water that is now in the ocean and in
the river has been many times in the sky.
‘he history of a single drop taken out of
a glass of water is really a romantic one,
says a writer in the ‘‘Museum.’’ No
traveler has ever accomplished such dis-
tances in his life. That particle may have
reflected the palm trees of corm islands
and have caught the sun’s ray in the arch
that spans a cloud ciearing away from
the valleys of Cumbc*land or California.
It may have been carried by the Gulf
Stream from the shores of Florida, or of
Cuba, to be turned into acrystal of ice
besile the precipices of Spitzbergen. It
may have hovered over the streets of Lon-
don and have tormesd a part of murky fog
and have glistenel on the young grass

Glorifying God,

When we speak of glorifying God it
must ie understood that the expression
dues not imply that any creature can add
to the essential excellence and glory of
the Divine character. Jt only denotes
that we perceive somewhat of this excel-
lence, that we recognize the relations in
which we stand to tlim, and that we are
drawn to love, admiration, gratitude and
obedience which the perception of this ex-
cellunse ought ever to inspire. All this
inc!u les an assimilation tothat which we
thus admire and love, and a reflection of
the glory which we adore in character
and life, as the moon shines in the bor-
rowed light of thesun. Inthis way, the
expression, glorifying God, seems to be
used in Scripture, Thus, when Jesus calls
on His disciples to let their light so shine
before men that they may see their good
works and glorfy thcir Father who is in
heaven, He plainly means that they should
so live that others may beled by what
they see in them to the exercise of love to
God, to admire His perfections, and sub
mit to His will.

From Hand to Shoulder,

Thirty years azo J. B. Garrison, of
Plant City, Fla., a machbioist, ran a
small sliver of steel into his right band
at the base of the thumb, The wound
was treated and finally healed,the doctor
saying that the stecl had been expelled.
But ever since that time Garrison has
suffered with severs painsin his right
arm, which he attributed to rheumatism.
Last week the pains became very acute
in his right shoulder. He went to the
doctor and the doctor drew from just
under the skin of his shoulder the steel
sliver that entered his hand in 1865,

The Length of Life.

The Dublin Journal of Meatcal Sciences
quotes an interesting statement mase by
tir Benjamin W. Richardson concerning
the duration of life. He thinks that if
the ages of the two parents and of the
four grandparents be added together and
divided by six, the ageofthe case in
point will be told with an average varia-
tion of not more than two. If the ages
of the parents are high, the off-spring
tonds to improve on them; if low (say an
average of 40 or lower), the life of the off-
spring will probably be shorter,

paration of its kind in the world, and is
worth its weight in gold to a consumptive

Counterfeits

A few yearsago agreat discovery was
made.

Unprincipled persons are trying to prey
npon and dupe people who are led to ask
for kidney treatment.

Some of the methods adopted by imitat-
ors are as follows:

First—To imitate the size, color and
shape of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and sell
them by count.

Second—To put them up to appear very
nearly the same and to be offered at the
same price.

Third—To hook on the word “kidney”
in naming cathortic pills so as to increase
sales of mere physic.

F¥ourth—To givea name so near to
Dodd’s that unwary people may be deceiv-
ed and think they are getting Dodd’s,

Look out for such dodges. When you
want kidney medicine you want the best.
And ought not to be the subject
trick.

So beware.

She—And if | should refuse to marry
you, then what ?

He—Then all the doubt and fear that
has been on my mind for months would

I say No!on the contrary, they are fond
of it, and it keeps them pictures of

Rheumatism jin various forms is one of
the most common diseases there is,
It arises generally from impure blood
and a broken down system. In_ the
limbs it is painful; in most of the in-
ternal organs dangerous, and in the
heart usually fatal,

The experience of Mr. S. Mann, the
well known general merchant of Stitts-
ville, is interesting :

“Last winter | was badly afflicted
with rheumatism. I decided to try
Dr. Chase’s Pills. To my surprise. i

got immediate relief, and before I had
used one box my affliction was gone.

“J was also troubled with bilious-
ness for years, and at intervals of three
or four weeks would be lajd up with a
severe headache and sick stomach. Since
yeing Chase’s Pills I have not had an
attack of either.

“J may add that Dr. Chase’s Oint-
ment for piles and skin diseases in just
as effective as Dr. Chase’s Pills for blood
troubles. I have a clerk who suffered
terribly from bleeding piles. He tried
Chase’s Ointment and in a few days was
completely eured.”

**I don’t know why it is,’’ says Profes-
sor Alfred W. Stokes, the well-known
London analyst, ‘‘but the average Lon-
don householder will insist oa having
milk of « nice yellow cream color. Now,
only the Channel Island cows yieli yel-
low milk, but what of that? There isa
demand; the supply shall not fsil while
there is a comparatively harml-+ss color-
ing matter valled anotto which looks like
red ink, and a few drops of which will
make a gallon of fresh milk the color
beloved of the Londoner.’’

1¢ 18 both instructive and amusing to
follow the evclution of the milk de-
scribed by Protessor Stekes—who, by
the way, has been protecting London-
ors agairst adulterated food for the last
twenty-eight vears. First of all, the
farmer adds his quota of water. Then
ihe farmer's man, who takes the pails
and c@urns to the station for convey-
ance to London, may plunge the vessels
into a brook in order to cool tha milk
quickly, and in this Way. more water
rets im, not to mention smal! fishes,
which Prefessor Stokes ha; foand alive
and weil in milk churns. Then come
the railway servants who occisionally

take a long pail at the contents of the
churns when vhey are unteked for
official inspection during the journey

to Lonion. Of course,the most obvious

way io conceal such pilfering is to add
more water; and this is done with fine
generosity. A prosecniion fur tbis
very cffensa was recorded recently.

Then come the wholesale dealer, the re-

tailer, and perhaps the servants. The
giailer occasionally extracts the cream
and adds such preservatives as borax

and boracic acid, Vader thess circam-
stances it is intere=ing to no e that the
lactometer wlerewith the rcsiute honse-

ho'der provides himself regis:ers ‘‘ good
milk.”’
The «xcuses given by farmers and

others for adulterated milk are ingenious.

Vhe churns have been left out in the
rain, or the cooler may have leaked, or
the lump of ice was too large. One
Cealer swore positivily in court that
he did not put a single drop of water
into the milk. He did net. He poured
the milk into a certain quantity of

water specially prepared for it.
Professor Siokes says than even fruit
is tampered with. Strawberries are dip-
ped into a solution of analine dye, mel-
ors are flavored with injected

The Waist Line,

In the matter of dress if must bea
great satisfaction to be aman. Theres
is so much comfort in the thought that
one can go to one’s tailor with a cheque,
or the promis» of one—which is just as
good if it hasn’t been given too ofteu—
and thers confide in a man of unbiissed
judgment who knows the correct thing
to wear and gives it to you Then,
after you have got it, you can posses:
your soul in peace for several months,
knowing that if rou were correctly cross-
ed at the commencement of the season
you will remain so until your suit be-
gins to look shabby.

What a contrast is this calm serenity
of mind to the turmoil and doubt whic

racks 2 woman’s brain from the how
she begins to ‘‘shop’’ fer her new gow
until it is worn out! She wants t«

be the first to bring ‘‘out’’ a new fashion:
then if nobody follows her lad, is
harrassed with doubts for fear she has in
troduced a style thas nobody admire
and has inate herself appear eceen'ric.
On the other hand, if too maiy adopt it
she grows tired of it beciuse it has be
come common,

Hers we ave, for instance,
lection of round waists, made of varion
materials, and for various occasions. A‘

tirely correct. Thers were threats cf some

ENTERTAINMENT AND SOCIAL

On the evening of the 4th inst., a very
successful entertainment and social was
beld iu the Hall at Rolo Bay, in aid of
the funds of St. Alexis’ Church. There
was a crowded audience, and upwards of
$100 was realized. The opening address
by Mr. Timothy McDonald, teacher, was
to the p int, and brimfal with wit and
bumour. The readings of comic selections
by the same gentleman, kept the audience
in a continual roar of laughter. The sing
ing of Mrs. Fraser of St Peter’, as
evinced by great applause and several
encores, was much admired, as also.was
the violin playing by Mr. Jerome Chais-
con, and the organ accompaniments by
Miss Mary McDonald, ef Souris. The
parish choir won new laurels for itself by
he excellent manner in which it rendered
the several choruses on the programme.
One of the most enjoyable featurss of the
entertainment was a serio-comic drama, in
which seven characters took part. The sale
of refreshments towards the close was
ably conducted by Mr. George Morrow and
the Hon. Thomas Kickham. The beaut:-
ful decorations of the Hall and the ex

cellent manner in which everything was
managed reflects credit upon the commit-
tee of management, Messrs. Frank Mur-
pby, Charles McKinnon, John McKinnon,
Jerome Chaiszon and Patrick Campbell.

The Souris Bra-s Band voluntarily ten
dered their rerviees. “In soft Lydian
airs” they discoursed sweet music at in
lerva's, and fully sustained their reputa-
tion as first-class instrumentalists. Teir
performances more than once suggested
those beautiful lines of Milton : —

* And ever against eating cares,
Lap me in +oft Lydian airs ;
[n notes with many a winding bout
Of linked sweetness long drawn out ;
With wanton heed, and giddy cunning,
Che melting sounds through mazes run-
ning ;

niwisting all the chains that tie
The hidden soul of harmony.”
