The animals \raick lor power of endor- ance and rapidity of motfoa are v^tnefl pa Our service dwi^e the whole of their strength and nutriment from the vegetable kingdom such as the horse, the elephant, the camel. The physical condition of many flesh eat- ers showa that the blood itself is loaded with impurities and is in a state of decomposition, and that persons whose blood is in this im- pure state are liable, on very slight exposure, chill, etc., to be attacked with diuigerous illness. That this condition is caused_ by flesh eating is shown from the fact that it is quickly changed by the adoption of a vege- table diet. The flesh eating habits of the so-called civilized world render necessary the setting apart of a whole class of men for the per- formance of the degrading and brutalizing office of slaughtering animals for food. Were it not for the large quantities of vegetables consumed by flesh eaters dis- ease would ensue ia every case. Vegetables supply the salts of the blood. The peasantry of all nations abstain from animal food â€" wholly or in part â€" from ne- cessity. Their vigor is greater than that of any other class in every country. Meat is the most costly of all foods, and among civilized races the struggle for life rages to so fearful an extent that himian be- ings shorten life by the effort they make to save it. The average age of man should be a cen- tury. The majority of human beings die before they are half as old. The longest lived are those who feed on cereals. Vegetarian diet, by contributing to the Ehysical health of man, improves likewise is moral condition, besides conducing in no small degree to the healthy development of the intellectual faculties since it must nat- urally follow that by rendering the instru- ment clear and pure, the acts of life will be materially elevated, also being identified with that which is clear and pure. â€" Laura C. Holloway in "Buddh'sts' Diet Both.' Croup. Every mother, indeed every woman in the family, should know how to treat croup in its beginning, so that instant aid may be given, especially where a physician is not close at hand. Croup is very insidious in its approaches, and occurs chiefly in the winter and spring. Among its symptoms are a peculiar hoarseness, attended by a hoarse cough observable for some days, and in some cases only a few hours before the paroxysm, which occurs usually at night. In the morn- ing the child often seems better, but this should not deceive the mother. Before the disorder progresses to the characteristic wheezing, hoarse cough, emetics should be administered promptly and a hot foot bath given, but great care should be taken to avoid chill. Syrup of ipecac is an excellent remedy, antimuniui wine being a depressing uauseant. Ipecac should always be at hand in a house where there are children subject to croup, and such children should always wear flannel next the skin.- ance of the children in a ndghbOTing room that has been 'carefully ventilated; Care- ful attention to the ventilation of cbnrcht nnjM/rtinnla will prevent much o^^e inat^ tejfi^on and sleemness thai^ia obsubsd dor- iitg^e aflMki^#»nvi To the 4Miy il»Hes#li|^e^i 1^^^' wonders of science and' ipvention nave prti- duced in the minds of savages an exchange adds the following Signer d' Albertio, the Italian explorer, in bik work describing his rtseainslies iu New Guinea, relates how, having been robbed the Papuans, he succeeded, without blood- shed, in so thoroughly frightening the natives that they were glad to m^ke peace with him on any terms. He hoisted a black flag over his house, issued a proclamation that w.hile it was flying no one should approach on pain of death, laid Orsini bombs in every direction and fired at e%'ery one who passed that way until they were in a state of complete terror. Two of the leaders, Naimi Kuxw and Param, made overtures of peace and brought to Signer d' Albertio a number of the stolen articles. He thus describes the interview "To impress more firmly on their minds how much they had to fear from me, I treated them to several spectacles. The first was to drive three balls in succession into the trunk of a tree one hundred meters distant; the second was to let off an Orsini bomb; and the thirdf^ter having induced them to break their lances on a blade of iron, to send it to pieces with a ball from my fowling-pie^e. But the last spectacle was the finest. After having kept the two for some time seated on a great rock in front of the house. I led them to a distance, Went into the house, and set fire to a train of powder con- nected with a mine bored under the rock on which they had been seated; then I joined them and directed their attention to the spot. While they were looking the mine explod- ed. Needless to say how frightened they were. They had neither leats to run away nor feet to stand, and were hardly able to pray me not to destroy them, and they would recover for me all that I had lost. When they grew calm I conducted themi to see the effect of the mine. The rock was broken in a thousand fragments, and scattered great distances, and instead of the rock on which they had sat they found only a hole. They looked at each other tremblingly, and again entreated me not to kill theni. Naimi asked permission to take away a bit of the fractured iron to frighten his people into a restitution of the stolen goods, and as they descended they gathered fragments of the rock."

To stop bleeding at the nose place a small roll of paper or muslin above the front teeth, under the upper lip, and press hard on the same. Milk as a Pbevextive. â€" A red-lead manufacturer of France, has discovered that the use of milk at their meals, which he has made obligatory on his workmen to the ex- tent of one litre daily, preserves those em- ploy i.d in lead- works from any symptoms of lead -disease. A simple home remedy for croup is alum and sugar. The way to use it is to take a knife or a gjater, and shave «ff in small particles about a teaspoonf ul of alum mix this with twice its amount of sugar to make it palatable, and administer it as quickly as possible. Almost instantaneous relief will follow. A leading Berlin physician, a Prof. Fran- zel, has lately advanced the theory that those who must smoke cigars had better smoke the cheap brands. He claims to have discovered that it is the higher priced to- bacco that causes heart disease, so often complained of by excessive smokers. Those who smoke cheap cigars are rarely injured by them. Earache is usually caused by a sudden cold. Steam the head over hot herbs, bathe the feet in hot water, and put into the ear cotton-wool dipped in camphor and sweet oil. This treatment is often excellent for faceache and toothache. The latter is fre- quently entirely ^lieved by placing the cot- ton soaked with camphor in the ear on the side where the painful tooth is. It is a good plan also to tie a kerchief over the ear, for earache, or toothache, or faceache. To select a room for a sick person, care should be taken to have it exposed to as lit- tle external noise as possible, as impressions made on the ear greatly influence the nerv- ous system. Likewise select a spacious, well ventilated apartment, that has in it no unnecessary furniture. Great care is neces- sary in regvdating the light of a sick-room, although it is not often necessary to exclude all light. The rule is, a strong light stimu- lates the action of the brain, while a mode- rate light is soothing to it. Deafness and unimpaired hiring are fre- quently caused by an accumulation of har- dened wax upon the external surface of the drum of the ear. Never attempt to remove this with the head of a pin or a hair pin. As "an eminent doctor of Paris once remark- ed to one of his patients, "a man should never put anything in his ear smaller than his elbow." Wax and foreign substances can nearly always be removed by dropping into tlie ear a few drops at olive oil, a little warm, and, after letting it remun a w^e, syringing the ear vitli warm soap suds. Many persona on cuning from chnrdi complaon of headache. This is caused by the action of tiie impure Uood on t^e brain, due to the accomnlatiim oi carbolic acid gas in the air of poorly ventilated churches. The pernicious effect upon the; brain' and nervous system is very aptly illustrated by the drowsy, listless attitude of the scholars in a poorly ventilated school room as com- pared with the bright aiui animated appear- fiules for Family Peace. 1.

Atropine is stated to be an antidote to fun- gus -poisoning. The general conclusion to be drawn from hatters' figures is favourable to the opinion that large heads and mental capacity go to- gether. Plaster busts and statuettes may be clean- ed by clipping them into thick liquid cold starch â€" that is, clear starch mixed with cold water â€" ^then drying them and, when the starch is brushed off, the dirt comes off with it. The balance of evidence, says the Lancet, would appear to be infavourof the conclusion that where a close scrutiny fails to discover any heritable weakness, neurotic or other- wise, consanguineous marriage per se is not neccessarily a thing to be prohibited. For delicate work, sach as cementing silks for fans, c., the following cement is much used by the Japanese Take best finely-ground rice-flour, mixed with a little cold water, and then pour on boiling water till of proper consistence.

It was he who paid for a nice ride for them in the goat carriage. He also toeated them to oyster soup at the Park restaurant. At two o'clock sharp the next day the two gentlemen, as agreed, met again. ' This is my wife," the host said, proud- ly introducing a comely lady, "and this," as a young girl of fifteen entered the parlor, "is my daughter, Nettie." " Ah " thought the guest, as he' extended his hand in cordiil greeting, "this is the dear girl whom I met yesterday in the street-car. I don't wonder her father calls her a darling and no mistake, bless her " "A Darling." Two gentlemen friends who had been parted for years met in a crowded city thor- oughfare. The one who lived in the city was on hia way to meet a pressing business engagement. After a few expressions of de- light, Ife said " Well, I'm off" I'm sorry, but it can't be helped. I will look for you to-mwrow %t dinner. Remember, at two o'clock, sharp. I'ni anxious for you to see my wife and child." " Only one child " asked the other. " Only one â€" a daughter," came the an- swer, tenderly. " She's a darling, I do as- sure you." And then they parted, the stranger in the city getting into a street-car bound for the Park, whither he desired to go. After a block or two, a group of five girls entered the car ;. they were aU young, and evidently belonged to families of wealth and culture, that is, intellectual culture â€" as they conversed well. Each carried a very elabor- ately-decorated lunch-basket each was at- tired in a very becoming spring suit. Doubt- less, they, too, were going to the Park for a spring pic-nic. They seemed very happy and amiable, until the car again stopped, this time letting in a pale-faced girl of about eleven, and a sick boy of four. These chil- dren were shabbily dressed, and upon their faces there were looks of distress mingled with some expectancy. Were they, too, on their way to the Park? The gentleman thought so; so did the group of girls, for he heard one of them say, with a look of dis- dain ' i suppose those ragamuffins are on an excursion, too." "I shouldn't want to leive my door if I had to look like that. Would yoa " This from another girl. "No indeed But there is no accounting for tastes. I think there ought to be a spe- cial line of cars for the lower classes." All this conversation went on in a low tone, but the gentleman had heard it. Had the child too He glanced at the pede fa.ce, and saw tears glistening in the eyes. Then he looked at the group of finely-dressed girls. Who had moved as far from the plebe- ian as the limits of the car would allow. He was angry. He longed to tell them that they were vain and heartless, as they drew their costly trappings closer about themj as if fearful of contact with poverty's child- ren. Just then an exclamation, " Why, there is Nettie wonder where she is going " caused him to look out upon the corner, where a sweet-faced young girl stood beck- oning to the car driver. When she entered the car she was warmly greeted by the five, and they made room for her beside them. They were profuse in their exclamations and questions. " Where are you going " asked one. " O what lovely flowers Who are they for " questioned another. " I'm on my way to Belle Clark's. She's sick you know, and the flowers are for her." She answered both questions at once, and then glancing toward the door of the car, she saw the pale girl looking wistfully at her. She smiled at the child, a tender look beaming from her beautiful eyes and then, forgetting that she, too, wore a handsome velvet skirt and costly jacket, and that her shapely hands were covered with well -fit- ting gloves, she left her seat and crossed over to the little ones, she laid one hand caressingly on the boy's thin cheek as she asked interestedly of the sister " The little boy is sick, is he not And he^s your brother, I am sure heelings so to you." It seemed hard for the girl to answer, but finally she said " Yes, miss he is sick. Freddy never has been well. Yes, miss, he is my oiothiar. We're goin' to the Park to see if it won't make Freddy better." "I am glad you are going," the young girl replied in a low voice meant for no one's ears except those of the child addressed. " I feel sura it will do him good it is lovely there, with the spring flowers bJI in bloom. But where is your lunch You ought to have a lunch ^ter so long a drive." Over the little girl's face came a flush. "Yes, miss, mebbe we ought to. for Freddy's sake but you see, we ^dn't haye? any lunch to bring.

Is there to be a general war in the spring? Those who claim to have the best means of knowing say that there will be. One great hindrance in the way is said to be the old Emperor of Germany, who has had his fill of wars, and wishes no more during his time. That hindrance, however, may turn out a very feeble one when put in opposition to the currents which ^set so strongly in the other direction. And in any case that life may easily and speedily be cut off. When a man gets to his ninetieth year he may drop off at any moment in spite of his haviiig had a healthy frame- and been carefully watched over by the most skilful of doctors. The Emperor's life has not only been long, but full of romance and incident. He Will com- plete his 90th year on the 22nd of March next. He was a soldier in the great German rising against the First Napoleon in 1813. He took Ms chances, and did his work in the battle of Waterloo. Since that time he has been morie or less a prominent character in European politics. Before the popular up- risings of 184S he was one of the keenest supporters of absolutism, and on that account had to flee to England during the short success of that Bevolution, he came to the throne of Prussia in 1861, and at his coronation put the crown upon his own head declaring that he reigned by the favor of God and of no one else. He has ever since been true to his absolute notions, and has managed, through his great miniater, Bismarck, to stave off the great contest be- tween feudal authority and modern ideas, which will come even in Germany very shortly after he has finally made his bow. How the old man roughed it during the Franco-Prussian war, and how he was at last crowned Emperor of Germany in the palace of the French Kings at Versailles on the 18th of January, 1871, is known to every one. He will be missed by some and honor- ed by all when he goes over to the majority, and then in all likelihood there will be a new order of things, for his son and his son's wife have very different ideas from his, and neither of them trust or love Bismarck as the father has done.

George Washington was only eleven yean of age â€" the e.dest of five children â€" wheu hi father died. The widowed mother had he children to educate and bring up, n, larjrt household to govern and extensive estate to manage, all of which she accomplished with complete success. Her good sense, tenderness, industry and vigilance enablec her to overcome every obstacle and, as tht richest reward of her solicitude and toil, sk had the happiness to see all her childret come forward with a fair promise into life, filling the places allotted to them in a man ner equally honorable to themselves, and tc the parent w:ho had been the only guide o; their principles, conduct and habits. 3iln Washington used daily to gather her littlt flock around her to re^d to tbem lessons a Christian religion and morality, and he little manual in which she wrote the maxim which guided her. was preserved by her son and consulted by him as among his mos precious treasures. A mother's love is always a sacred in stinct but for it to become the strength ami blessing it may be to the children, the inoti er herself must have a strong, holy,, am well-disciplined character, like that of tht mother of the Wesleys. She was very bean tif ul, and was married at nineteen to a couii try clergyman. She bore him nineteen chil dren. 'To the end of her long life her sons, especially John, looked up to her and con suited her as the best friend and wises; counsellor they could have. The home ove which Mrs. Wesley ruled was free and hap py, and full of healthful play as any honi! in the holidays, and yet orderly and full o: healthful work as any school. The " odioK noise" of the crying of children was not sni fered, but their was no restraint on thei gleeful laughter. She had many wise rules which she kept to steadily. One of llies was to converse alone with or e of her littli ones every evening, listening to their child ish confessions, and giving counsel in theu childish perplexities. She was the patien: teacher as well as the cheeriul companion oi her children. When some one said to ter, " Why do yon tell that blockhead the sanii thing twenty times over " she replied, ' ' B« cause if I had told him only nineteen tiine I should have lost all my labor." So deej was the hold this mother had on the hearc of her sons, that in his earl)' manhood sk had tenderly to rebuke John, for thai "fond wish of his, to die before she died." It was through the bias sjiven by her to hei sons' minds in religious matters that the; acquired the tendency which, even in earl; years, drew to them the name of Methodists. In a letter to her son Samuel, when a sclio lar at YVestmiuster, she said: " I would advise you as much as possible to thiw your business into a certain method, b\ which means you will learn to improve e\ en precious moment, and find an unspeakablf facility in the performance of your respec tive duties." This "method" she went oi to describe, exhorting her son, "in all things to act upon principle " and the so ciety which the brothers John and Chark afterward founded at Oxford is supposed ic have been in a great measure the result o: her exhortations. â-  narrative to w y was found a Professor S.
