What is Wanted. | Not long prayers, but ardent zeal,— This is what is wanted more; To put the shoulder to the wheel, And bread unto the hungry deal From the store. | Not high-sounding notes of praise Ringing through the vaulted dome, But that we the fallen raise, Bring the poor from Life’s highways To the home Worship God by doing good ; Heip the suffering in their needs, He who loves God as he should Make’s his heart's love understood By his deeds. = — How Mendelssohn Made Music. | | Mendelssohn delighted in the open air and beautiful scenery. When he was twenty, he stayed for some time at Ches ter. when he was entertained by a Mr. Taylor. He loved afterward to tell of the charm which the meadow and brook, the trees and grass had for him there. He spent much Ume in sketching and painting ; but his head was full of music, and everything suggested a musical idea to him. He was very fond of carnations, and he set a_ bunch of them to music in the album ofa daughter of his bost, with a drawing of the flowers forgetting to set some delicate arpeggios in the music for the scent of the flowers. Op seeing the younger sister with some bell-shaped flowers in her hair, he said thatthe fairies might dance on the trum pets, al i he set them toa cap- riccio. He never tired of merry making. And one ward dusk, he, with a young people, was one of a happy| young company that was in a thicket. Some one gayly proposed | a fire; and all began to drag the boughs | and twigs into place, so that soon they | had a fine bonfire. While still linger-| ing around it, Mendelssohn began to ask | for some music, but nothing could be | found save a worn-out fiddle of Garden- | over the notes; not ailernoon 10- number of} picnicking | undismayed, laughter er’s Mendelssohn, all began to play, shouting with at his performance ; but soon there was & hushin the chat and sport, and the | whole party sat spell-bound at the} lovely musie which he drew from even | that despised fiddle. He would sit for | hours, improvising dance—tunes, and | liked nothing better than to entertain | his friends with his music. He always] looked back on his visit to Chester as} one of the brightest spots a in bright life. — Agatha Tunis, in “From Bas hi to | Wagner,” St. Nicholas for October. Electroplating a Corpse —— | A chemist of Brest has resurrected an | eld idea about the disp yal of the dead. He merely rubs the corpse with plum bago, suspends it in an electric copper bath, and lo! a fine coating of copper is deposited all over it. The corpse, it is said, being thas whoily shut off from air, will be thorough!v preserved and remain forever. Fruits and flowers have been preserved intact in this way. Bunches of grapes treated with the copper bath are used as decorations for the ceiling and friezework of dining room-,and the effect is extremely artie- tic. Lilies have been immersed in the} bath and delicate ly coated with dusky, | shining me al. By this method a corpse becomes converted into a copper statue. A man might eleccroplate his deceased mother- in-law, and have her always near him. A husband micht leave it in his will that he should be thus copper-coated and set up ia the family library. Ther, if bis widow wishes to marry again, he will be on the spot as an awful warn- ing and example. Persons who can- not afford to electreplate their dead with copper may use zinc. Poor re- Jations may be disposed of in this way. Zine is good enough for them. a ee Curious Case of Nervous Sympathy At the last meeting of the French Academy of Medicine, Dr. Brown- Sequard related a very remar‘able in- stance of the powerof sympathy which came within his recent observation. A little girl was looking out of a window inahouse in the Batignolles, a few daysago. The lower sash was raised and the child had placed héer arms on the sill. Suddealy the support oa which the sash rested gave way and the window fell with considerable foree on the little giri’s arms, inflicting a severe bruise. Her mother, who was in the room at the time, happened to look to ward the window at the moment of the accident and witnessed it. She tainted with fright and remained insensible for a minute or two. When she recovered she was conscious of a severe pain iu both arms, and on examining the seat of it she was amazed to find on each arm &@ bruise Corresponding ia position to that left by the accident on the} child’s, though more extensive. a _ It is announced thatan English in- ventor bas lately devised a method of coating tin with a material resembling glass, which removes all danger of poison in canned goods. aie The Japanese government are intro- ducing the use of Roman characters into their printed language, instead of thenative, It will facilitate popular learning. ———— > -- It is begioning to be believed that the famous red sunsets of a year ago | Prowse’s THE DAILY E Special Notices, Boys’ Coars $2 00 at J.
