The Revolution in English Rowing. ly

Nothing more remarkablo has %e- curred in athletic matters in years than the complete revolution Bdwaret Han- lan’s brief stay in England is effecting among her, till now, famous scullers. That anything good could come out of America in the rowing way was till recently held to be ridiculous folly. But now, before the terrible havoc Columbia made among the university oarsmen has past out of mind, and just while the authorities over there are saying that the troublesome Shoe-wac- cae-mettes must not come back, Han- lan suddenly darts in among the pro~ fessionals and sets them all agog. Not some obscure sculler, but the champion of England, who had conquered such good ones as Higgins, Boyd and

lackman, has suddenly awaked to the fret that his rowlocks, his sliding seat, his sculls themselves, and last, and by far the most remarkable of all, his style of fowing, are actaally behind the age, and that the little Canadian has not only beaten one of the best seullers in Eneland, but has had time on the way to stop and sponge out his boat and have a little pleasantry with the people on the bank. Then, to crown all, comes the word, that Wallace Ross, unable to find any one in England who will face him at the sculls, is on his way home to take part in the coming regattas on our waters. That England should have been rowing thousands of races in fifty years and then have to be taught all over again, and that by two modest American fishermen, neither of whom, probably, ever read any scientific treatise on how to row, or ever had much of any coaching, is a most suggesfive thing, and one from which our ambitious oarsmen, both amateur and professionai, may well take 2 hint.—M. Y. feral.

The Buddhist Priesthood.

The Rank of the Buddhist priest- hood in China are generally recruited by children, purchased either from their parents or from kidnappers. It is only in times of great distress that the Chinese will sell even the daughters, still less the valued son on whom may possibly dissolve the paramount duty of conducting the ancestral worship ; kidnapping, however, is by no means an uncommon crime, albeit the punish- ment on detection is a speedy and ig- nominious death. Occasionally parents dedicate a child to Buddha, perhaps in fulfilment of a vow, and the the victim is there and then formally made over to the Church by deeds signed, sealed and delivered. From this step there is no withdrawl. The child’s head is completely shaved; he is made to live ona vegetable diet and to forego the use of wines. He is taught to chant the Buddhist liturgies, without under- standing a word of them, and, after a required novitiate, proves his constancy to the faith by standing unmoved while several pastilles burn down into his scalp, leaving the ineradicable scars which testify to to the fact that he has put away forever the things of this world and has been regularly ordained usa priest. He has now “left his home” in good earnest, and all that remains to bim in this world is a life of celibacy and dull routine. Criminals fleeing from justice not unfrequently seek re fuge in a religious life, submitting to the branding of their heads and the subsequent discomforts of cloister ex- istence rather than fall into the merci. less meshes of Chinese law. Sometimes, too, unsuccessful mandarins throw themselves into a monastry and take vows, driven to such a step by dread of the imperial frown. It is said that the foolish officer who, during the war war of 1841~2, laid at the foot of the throne his discovery of the secret of foreign steamers, and forthwith pros duced a vessel with two huge paddle- wheels, to be turned by coolies inside, is even now languishing in one of the numerous monasteries on-the celebrated Lofou Hill, in the province of Kuang- tung, whither he retired after the fail- ure of his scheme, covered with ignom- iny and shame.—Cornhiil Magazine.

Mrs. Julia McCarthy, one hundred and‘ four years old, died in the City Hospital at Fall River, Mass., on Thursday. On the 22nd instant she jumped from ’a second story window to the ground, a distance of 20 feet, without dislocating or breaking a bone. Her eldest son died ten years ago, aged 76.

The liver is the imperial org«n of the whole human system, as it contro.. |’ > life, health and happiness of man. Who: ‘t is disturbed in its proper action, all kin.s of ailments are the natural result. The di- gestion of food, the movements of the heart and blcod, the action of the brain and ner- vous system, are all immediately connected with the workings of the liver. It has been successfully proved that Green’s August Flower is unequalled in curing all persons afflicted with dyspepsia or liver complaint, and all the numerous symptoms that result from an unhealthy condition of the liver and stomach.

Constitutional Catarrh Remedy

CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Revere nd Ge nileman says Of ihe Constitutional Renedy.

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

DEAR Srr—Itis now two years since your “Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘too good to be true.

1 was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading 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, [ would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in the bed, My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertownin 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 [had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not usec any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head,

A sense of duty to suficrers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper, Yours truly,

WV. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.

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

Tore never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different @iseases has been caused hy outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous 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 more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually tc effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effeat.

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

yr. MELVrIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on ifs safety for the most delieate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ‘ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELvix’s CAPst- cum Porots PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
