The Arabs have a fable from which we may learn a lesson

Once upon a time a miller, shortly aftér he had lain down for an after- noon’s nap, was startled by a eamel’s nose being thrust in at the door of his house.

“Tt is very cold outside,” said the camel; “I only wish to get my nose in.’ The miller was an easy kind of a uian, and so the nose was let in

“Phe wind is very sharp,” sighed the camel ; “pray allow me to get my neck inside.” This request was also allowed, and the neck was thrust in.

“ How fast the rain begins to fail! i shall get wet through. Will you let me place my shoulders under cover si This too, was granted; and’so the camel asked for a little and a little more, until he had pushed his whole body inside the house.

The miller soon began to be put to niuch trouble by the rade companion he had got in his room, which was not lurge enough for both, and as the rain was over, civilly asked him to depart.

“If you don’t like it you may leave,” saucily replied the beast. “ As for my- self, I know when I am well of, and shall stay where I am.”

This is a very good story; and we hope the Arabs are all the wiser and better for it; but let us also try to tarn it to as good account.

There ix a camel knocking at the heart of us all, young and old, seeking to be let in; its name is sin. It comes silently and craftily and knocks ; “ Let me in,” only a very small part at first. So in comes the nose ; and it is not long before, little by little, it gains entire posession; “I saw,” “I coveted,” *T took,’ “IL hid,” step by step, until he was “led captive by the devil.” Once in possession, the master soon be- comes the tyrant. Thus it is that bad wishes arises; then wrong deeds ; until evil habits rule us.—The French say, + Tt is the first step that costs;” if the first step is not taken, the second will never be known.

A Good Cement.

A correspondent of the N. Y. 7’ribune gives the following receipt for making n good cement :

A good cement for mending almost wnvthing may be made by mixing to- gether litharge and glycerine to the consistency of thick cream or fresh putty. Thiscement is useful for mend- ing stone jars or any other coarse earth- enware, stopping leaks in seams of tin- pans or wash boilers, cracks or holes iu iron kettles, &c = have filled holes up inch in diameter in kettles, and used the same for years in boiling water and feed. It may also bearsed to fasten on lamp tops, to tighten loose nuts, to se- cure loose bolts whose nuts are lost, tighten loose joints of wood or iron, loose boxes in wagon-hubs, and in a great many others. In all cases the article mended should not be used till the cement has hardened which will re-

quire from one day to a week, accord.* World ; for Cit ; Village, and Coun-

ing to the quantity used. This cement will resist the action of water, hot or eold, acids, and almost any degree of heat.

A Curious Discovery.

According to the London Sanitary Record,—* Dr. Tschamer, of Gratz, has discovered that a fungus grows upon the skins of apples and oranges, pre- cisely similar to the fungus which forms the peculiar germs of infection in whooping-cough. He writes that on oranges and apples, which have been kept some time, may be found dark brown and black specks, which when scraped off, appear as a damp powder, Under the microscope this powder is seen to consist of the spores ofa fungus, indentig¢al with those of the whooping- cough fungus.—Taking two of these specks from the skin of an orange, Dr. ‘Tostenenen introduced them by a strong inhalation into his Jungs. The next day tickling of the throat began, which gradually increased until, at the eighth day, athoroughly developed whooping- cough set in. Should the discovery be confirmed, there is an additional reason to see that children abstain from eating apples with the skin on, and from chew§ ing orange peel, which many are so fond of doing.”

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases Kas been caused by outward application as the present, It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire popninein of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’S Capsicum Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do mére real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as @ medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster havo been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. Mrivin’s CAPSICUM Porous PLAsTuRS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in tne side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

x. MELYVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely on its safety

or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and er poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and out plaster will sell hundreds to your °

sk your druggist for Dr. MeLvin’s CApsi-

CUM PoROUs PLasTER, and take no other; or, on rarer of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 fora avy address in the United States or Canadas.
