A local preacher had been preaching in the afternoon at a village not far from Newcastle, England, and having accompanied one of the chapel mem- bers to his house, was of course intro- duced to his wife, who appeared very glad to see him, and warmly pressed him—for a full quarter of an hour—to stay to tea. He at last consented. While all this pressing was going on, the husband was quietly standing by, prvpering to wash his hand and face.

he good lady then went to vet the tea ready, aod it was not long before both the tea and her temper were brewing ; for, hearing, as she thought, her dearly beloved washing, she made for the little window which communicated between the kitchen and the pantry

Where she was, and, taking advantage of his position, more

quickly than one could say “Jack Robin-on,” she administered two or three hard raps on his bald pate, accompanied with the exclamation, “Til learn ye to bring them hungary preachears lec to tea every time they come to peeach!” As soon as the unfortanate imdividual could get the soap-suds Out or dis eyes he began to think what it all meant, but could come | to noother Conclusion than that the old lady had made asad mistake, which she also soon found out, for, upon re- turning tothe parlor, | icre she saw her husband paticutly aw .iing his turn to wash.

Milk as a 8S »porific.

According tothe Pharmacist. it is a frejuent practice in the New York Asylum for Inebriates te administer to the patients a glass of milk to produce sleep, aud the result is often foand sat- ixfactory, without the use of medicine. Medicine is there sometimes prescribed in milk. It has been recently stated in medical journais that lactic acid has the effect of promoting sleep by acting as a sedative, and this acid may be pro- duced in the alimentary canal after the ingestion of milk. Can this, then, be the explanation of the action of milk on the nervous system aftera long continued, excessive use of alcoholic drink? Sugar, also, is capable of being con.

CATARRE.

Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

T. J. B. Harprxe, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—

Drar Sir—It is now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy efiects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good he true.” I was afilicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh, In ing in your Circular I saw my case described in many par- ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop”’ from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head, A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, edabhiorted, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
