It never occurs to most of us, who have these dear American men for lovers and husbands, that we could ever really get cold or hungry. You would have a fit if you thought any body belong- ing to you didn’t have all the clothes they wanted and the best the market affords. But you think it isa huge joke when we say that we are mentally cold, and hungry a good deal of the time, and that you are a storehouse with all that we need, right Within your hearts and brains, only you wou’t give it to us.” A Cure for Insomnia. The latest eure for insomnia is cheap, healthy and eflicacious. The remedy was suggested by an old doctor to whom a de- spairing young man had gone for advice. “Of course,’’ said the doctor, “I could give vou plenty of drugs that would put you to sleep, but in the case of a young man, that is always to be avaided. The reason you cannot sleep is beeause your nerves are all unstrung. That does not necessarily mean that you must put your nervous system to sleep by the use of drugs. What you want is a mild excite- ment, that will lift your nervous system out of the rut it has fallen into. The best thing in the world to do that is a-trolley ride. Don’t try to settle upon any partic- ular route, just jump on any car that comes along. Don’t even ask the conduc- tor where the car is going to, but just go along with the car. It will surely come back some time to the point where you took it. If the route is eight or ten miles longso much the better. One thing is certain, you will either sleep during the ride or as soon as it is over.’’—~Philadel- phia Record. Humor at the Altar. Some funny stories are told about the marriage service. One of them relates how an old man, brought rather unwill- ingly to the altar, could not be induced to repeat the responses. ‘‘My good man,” at length exclaimed the clergyman, ‘Il really cannot marry you unless you do as you are told.’’ Butthe man still remained silent. At this unexpected hitch the bride lost all patience with her future spouse, and burst out with: “‘Go on, you old toot! Say it after him just the same as if you was mockin’ him.” The same difficulty occurred in another case. The clergyman, after explaining what was necessary and going over the respon- ses several times without the slightest effect, stopped in dismay, whereupon the bridegroom encouraged him with “Go ahead, pass’n, go ahead! thou’rt doin’ bravely.’’ Upon another occasion it was, strangely enough, the woman who could not be prevailed upon to speak. When the-clergyman remonstrated with her she indignantly replied: ‘“‘Your father mar- ried me twice before, and he wasn’t axin’ me any of them impertinent questions at a.” The Body asa Water Engine. In Longman’s Magazine for December Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson reprints the address which he delivered to the Na- tional Temperance League on the ‘Physi- cal Foundations of Temperance.” The following is his own summary of his paper. 1. That the body as an engine of life is a water engine, and was never intended to be worked, at the temperature provided for it, by any other finid than water. 2. "That from a purely physical point of view, alcohol is too light a fluid for the purpose. 3%. That alcohol contains an element—car- bon—which is not wanted for the natural part water plays in the living creation. 4. That by well diluting alcohol it may, as indeed is too often seen, make a kind of living world, but that such a world is one having two leading false qualities, a | whortly-endowed bodily mechanism and an idiot’s mind, neither of which objects is of the selection and manifestation made for us by the giver of life.

Henry M, Stanley Pays a Tributes to the Great Work They Have Done. I was the only white man during 1876 in Equatorial Africa, but in 1877, when only ashort distance from the Atlantic, the first missionaries landed on the east coast in response to an appeal that I had written in 1873 from Uganda. During the years from 1879 to 1884 missionaries followed closely my tracks up the Congo, and asa hundred influences were in the course of a few years enlisted in the cause of Africa, Nyassa Land and the eastern and southern part of Central Africa began to be studded with Christian missions, and missionaries have continued to enter Africa ever since, until now there must be about 300 of them, and the number is still increasing. They are not all reputed to be first-class mén, but it is wonderful what earnestness and perseverance will do. We have only to think of Uganda, with its 200 churches and cathedral and its 50,000 native Chris- tians; read the latest official reports from Nyassa Land, and glauce at the latest map of Africa, to be convinced of the zeal, devotion and industry of the missionaries. Mission houses do not grow of them- selves. African tongues, nor are converts spon- taneous products of human nature.

It is true, though strange, that for the! first six years or so very little visibie effect is produced by missionary teaching and influence. The mind of a pagan descend- ant of innumerable centuries of pagans appears to be for some time impenetrable to the Christian doctrine, and no matter how zealously a missionary may strive with him, he continues to present a woods! eu dulness, until and by by there isa! “lea of interest ; he catches the idea, as! it were; and the interest becomes infecti- ous and spreads from famiiy te family, and converts multiply rapidly. ‘Cast thy brea upon the waters; for thou shalt find it after man; days.” lhavein my mind, as I write. the ex- amples furnished by the Waganda, Wany- assa and Bakonugo.

The following facts, compiled from the last published Dominion Statistical Year Book, go to show how the drink traffic ‘‘helps trade’’ in Canada. Such facts are well worthy of the serious consider- ation of every Canadian citizen, no mat- ter what may be his views in regard to total abstinence. Official tables are given of the value of the different kinds of liquors imported into Canada for home consumption from 1877 to 1891 inclusive.

Whatever the esthetic or sensuous ate ' tractions, the ultimate fact is that when people assemble socially they meet to talk. In popular definition “sociable” means “conversation,” and ‘“‘unsocial’” means “silence.” The success of any social gathering will be largely decided by the prevailing spirit of the conversation. And in this, more than in any other feature of the occasion, the personality of the hostess should appear. No matter how many gifted conyersationalists there may be present, she should not permit an outsider to create the atmosphere of her house. Even the most diffident woman, who glides unobtrusively through a throng elsewhere, should courageously assert herself when the responsibility of enter- taining rests upon her.

His wife put her foot down at once and said that he should not go. Two months passed, and as the stories came from the front of the roar- ing of eanvon and of blood being spilt, William, for that was his name, vowed that he would go to the scene of battle. One night his wife saw him get up in his sleep, and, ~putting himeelf in a he- roic attitude, extend his hand as though it clutehed a sword, and cry, ‘‘For- wari!” This preyed on her mind 680 that on the nigh’ afterward she asked him if he fully intended to join the army.

She noted the calzn- ness of his countenance, and bent and kiseed his forehead asa tear coursed down her cheek.

Zt is reported that Mr, Lincoln once said to a man who suggested 4 doubtful proposition to him, ‘‘I should think that 10 anyone wanting something of that kind, that something of that kind would be about what be would want.’’ itis the same way with bloomers. These who admire them, admire them. Those who don’t,,don’t. See? The Licomer question is one that is not to be settled by «a magazine article. There are some fundamental truths that all may agree upor. Men who insist that a series of skirts are not. cumbersome and that ther do not retard and tire tne rider would, no doubt, simply collapse if they were couipeltled to wear them. it seems reasonable that bloomers have some advantages along the lines of comfort and convenience. It isn’t pre- sumed that women care to be scorchers. They do ike to ride with comfort. The foes.of the tloomer costume are opposed te ist solely on the grougd of **the looks af the thing.’’ They shonid bo honest enough te con- fess this, for ne one will say that bleom- ers make cycling any more difficult, physically. Granting there is a physical gain in wearing bloomers, is there a mora! loss? Not necessarily, A lady's real nature ought not to be changed by a change of dress. For ages men have been yelling ‘‘dress reform’’ at the other sex. The wise, bewhiskered lords of ereation have insisted that trailing skirts and tight lacing were dragging our sisters, wives and mothers to premature graves, Now these men are afraid dress reform is actually coming. The new bicycle woman, if she weais what is termed the ‘ideal’ costume, has neither trailing skirts nor deadly corse: stays, Ob! it’s awfal to think that some of these women are 50 immodest as to dress abou: like men. And they may become as strong ani healthy,too. Isn't it a shame? A great many say it is. say it isn’t.

When Men Were Honest. At one time in the highlands of Scotland to ask for « receipt or promissory nete was considered an insult, and such a thingasa breach of contract was rarely heard of, so strict did the people regard their honor. The Presbyterian Witness tells astory of «farmer who had been to the lowiands and had there acquired worldly wisdom. After returning to his native place he needed some money and requested a loan from a gentleman in the neighborhood. ‘The latter, Mr. Stewart, complied and counted out the gold, when the farmer immediately wrote out a receipt. “And what is this note, man?’ asked Mr. Stewart,.on receiving the slip of paper. “This is a receipt, sir, binding me to give ye back your gold at the right time,” replied Donald. “Binding ye, indeed! Well, my man, if ye canna trust yourself I’m sure i’llna trust ye! Such as ye canna hae my gold.” And gathering it up he returned it to his desk and locked it up. “But, sir, I might die,” replied the needy Seot, unwilling toe surrender his hepeof the loan, “and perhaps my sons might re- fuse it ye, but the bit af paper would com- pel them.”’ “Compel them to sustain their dead father’s hovor !” cried the eniraged Ceit, “They’:l need compelling to do right if this is the roud ye’re leading them. Ye can ganz elsewhere for money, I tell ye, but ye’!ll find nane about here thavil put more faith in a bitof paper than a neigii- bor’s word of honor and his love of zight.” Testing the EMicicney of a Motorman. Many street railway companies are alive tothe fact that the motorman is one of the most important factors in the street car service, and rewards of various kinds are now being offered to motormen who hare run their cars on schedule for 2 certain length of time without an accident. An- other point from which the railway com- penies are approaching the question of the ideal motorman is the matter of economy in the consumpiien of the moiive power of the car. It isa well-known fact that tae motormen can take the same equipmieyt over the same route in the same time and yet use vastly differeut amounts of power. This suggests a rigorous mathematical method of fixing the value of a motorman, Allthat ls necessary is to let him run a ear, loaded up to standard weight, over @ given track in an exact prearranged time, making a definite number of intermediate stoppages. An electric meter in the car would give the motorman’s figures of mer- it, which would, of course, be the reci- procal of the number recorded by the meter.
