The Power of Mabit. The power of habit is particularly exem-

.

| plifiedain the effects produced by the com-

panywe keep. The utmost vigilance, there- fore, should be exercised on ghis important subject. The great powerfand force of custom form an argument against keep- ing bad company. However shocked we may be at the first approaches of vice, this shocking appearance goes off upon an in- timacy with it. Custom will soon render the most disgustful object fainiliar to our view, and this is indeed a kind provision of mature, to render labor and toil and danger, which are the lot of man, more easy to him.

The well disposed youth, entering first into bad company, is shocked and disgust- ed af overy turn at what his sight beholds and what ho is compelled to hear. The good principles whieh he had imbibed ring in his car an alarming lesson against the wickedness of his companions. But, alas, this sensibility is of short continuance. The next jovial meeting makes the horrid picture of yesterday more easily endured. Rectitude is soon thought a severe rule, an inconvenient restraint. A few pangs of conselence now and then whisper to him that he once had botter ways and thoughts. Buteven these by degrees die away, and he who at first was shocked even at the ap- pearance of vice may be formed by custom into a profligate leader of vicious pleas- ures.—New York Ledger.

More Liberal,

In 6 farmhouse not far from Festiniog a farmer’s wife used to cook the dinner for the laborers. Before the meat every man used to be given a basin of soup.

One day the farnier’s wife wont away and left her little daughter to get the men their dinner.

After they had had the soup the little girl said to them:

‘*There, now, wasn’t that soup better than mother’s, for I've put two candles in it and mother only puts one?’’—London Answers.

Salt is good tocheck bleeding of the lungs and as a nervine and tonic for weak, thin blooded invalids. Combined with hot water, it is useful for certain forms of dyspepsia, liver complaint, etc.

The average price of Canadian horses sold in London for some time hag rarely been above £25, a price which, freight and all expenses considered, is said to yield a satisfactory :nargin of profit.

Timepteces,

The earliest contrivance for keeping timé, was the hourglass, which. of uncertain antiquity, was still employed at the veginning of the present centu- ry, and, indeed, is now in use on some reading desks in the English churches. On the pulpit of the queen’s chapel at Windser there is a twenty minute giass, which time the orator for the Sunday is advised not to exeeed. The clepsydra, or water clock of the Ro- mans, was inventsd by Scipio Nasica 158 B. C., and toothed wheels were in- troduced into these pieces of mechan- ism by Ctesibius about 140 B. C. The earliest complete clock of which there is certain record was made by a Sara- cen mechanic in the thirteenth century. The most celebrated clock in the world is that of the cathedral at Strassburg, which tells not only the hour, but the day of the week, the month, the day of the month and the year. It con- tains a large number of automatons, fig- ures of angels, saints and animals. which appear at reyular intervals, and & crowd always aseembies at the hour of noon to witness the procession of automatons at that time. ;

Kipling’s Famous Poem.

It is the sentiment, says Arlo Bates in The Atlantic, and not the object, which arouses sympathy and kindles the imagination. No mistake could be more complete than to suppose that in this poem is to be found any argument in favor of the use of machinery as ma- terial for poetry. In ‘‘McAndrew’s Hywn’’ it is the character of the stanch old engineer and his feelings by which the reader is moved. The wonders of the great engine are a hindrance, and not a help, if they are looked at in any way other than through the eyes of Mc- Andrew. The piece succeeds or fails to the degree in which it makes his emo- tion real and contagious to the reader, and that, too, as emotion pure and sim- ple, quite without regard to what has excited it. In so far as the attention is caught by tailrod, crank throws, feed- ing pump and ‘‘purrin dynamos’’— finely suggestive as is the epithet in this last—the emotional effect is weak- eued at the expense of the ivtellectual.
