The coffin was covered with wreaths sent by the Queen. the Royal Family, the Empress Eugenie and other august contributors.

Let us see: At any time before the body has finished its in- efl’ectuel struggle, we are able to help‘it. not by wonderful medicines, but by the knowledge of anatomy and the application of common sense. We consult the sympa- thetic nerve and do what it commends us to do. gVVe must give this child salt when it wants it; we must give it acid when it has fever and anxiously craves it-v-not vinegar, but lemon juice, because the first coegulates albumen, and the letter does not, on account of the surple of oxygen which it contains. To imitate the soothing mucous in the intes. tines, which is now wanting, and to give some respiratory food at the seine time,we add some gum arnbic. To restore and relieve the injured nerve we supply moist warmth. In practice we can fulfil all this with the following simple manipulations: Undress the child and bring it to bed at the very first sign of sickness Give it, if it has already fever, nothing but scurish warm lemonade with some gum arabic in it. Then cover its abdomen with some dry flannel. Take a. well folded bedrshcet, and put it in boiling hot water; wring it out dry by means of dry towels, and ut this over the flannel on--the"child's n domen; then cover the whole and Wait. The hot cloths Will per- haps require repented heut. According to the beel‘lt-y of the case and its stage of pro» green, perspiration Will commence in the child in from ten minutes to two hours, The child then is saved ; it soon fulle to sleep. Soon alter the child swukee, it shows slight symptoms of returning n; clination for food ; help its hOWels, if necessary, with injections of oil. soap and water, and its recovery will be as steady as the growth of a. green-house plant, if well treated. Of course it the child was already dying, nothing could save it, or if it has already effusions in the lining of the heart or brain, it"is much better that it should die. But if the above is applied in due time, under the eyes and direction of a. competent physician, I will guarantee that not one in 9. hundred children will ever die of scarlet fever. I know this will startle some of my readers, especially those who have lost children already, but I shall go still further. I maintain that a. child will never get scarlet fever if properly treated. If a. child has correctly mixed blood, it will not catch the disorder if put in bed with a. sick child.

Un- der the most favorable circumstance house-cleaning makes great demands upon the nervous as Well as the muscular sys- tem. and it should be the aim of the care- ful housewife to see that all the operations are performed with as little discomfort as possible. More than ordinary attention should be given to the provision of nutri- tious food at regular intervals. It is not necessary that there shall be such a general overturning all at once that those members of the household who do not par- ticipate shall fed that “ dire con- fusion reigns,” and that there is not even one room that does not show traces of the disturbed order of things. Do not attempt too much at once, but, if possible, arrange it so that only one or two rooms are undertaken at a time, and put them in order before beginning another. The first lacs to receive attention is the cellar. hrow away everything that is no longer of use. Make your fatâ€"which should have been tried" out and melted into cakes ~into soap. If your coal-ashes have not been removed weekly,‘ have them carried out. All empty boxes and barrels, and all boards that you do not with to save, have split into kindling wood. Then sweep the ceilings and walls thoroughly, and sprinkle the floor, itit be stone or cement, bsiore you sweep it.

It plenty of cooking-salt is put into the whitewash it will not rub oh, and coppraso added to it Will repel all vermin. Six or eight pounds of copperas to a halfâ€" bushsl of quicklimo will not be too much. After the cellsris finished, begin the attic or storeroom.

All woolen articles must be beaten and exposed to the sun and air before being consigned to summer quarters. Woolen articles that are out of season should be put in bags made of brown paper or neiwepapers; if made of the latter, the paper should be double for greater strength, and a soft paper should be chosen so it will not tear. The edges can be pasted together. and when the goods. are in, the bugs must be pasted up tightly. Unless moth eggs Were in the garments. you need have no fears for their safety if you put them away in boxes or drawers, and scatter a little camphor and borsx over them.

An Ottawa despatch eaye : The railway staiisticslaid before the House to-day show that the total mileage of railways in opera tion in Canada on June 30th last was 7,530. Th' 00 hundred and thirty~five miles were 11nd: r construction, the track being laid. and 2.910 miles weie under construction, no trauk being yet laid. The increase of mileage in last year was 269. The Minister reports that amalgamation has proceeded apace and that traffic has not flagged. It is a. significant fact that the increase in‘ the receipts is by no means in proportion to that in the traffic, Whether passenger or freight, ‘ the increase" in the number-of passengers carried being, 34 per cent. and that in receipts only 22 per cent, while the freight traflic shows an increase of 12 per cent. in tonnage and at the same time an aptual diminution of 5 per cent. in receipts. This is probe.ny due to competition. Mimi of the cornpanies have omitted toflur‘nieh the information neceSBai-y, and the “time has, in the opinion of the Minister, arrived when it would be expedient to extend the powers of the Railway Committee of t Privy Council, so as to enable athein'to do” with unguarded level crossinge 'on all rail- Ways in the Dominion and also to regulate the height of all overhead bridges.‘ THE FINANCIAL ASPECT.

Many convicts deliberately chop ofi a finger or a few toes, and when one does it several more are sure to follow. But the most horrible instances of self-torture ex or known in the prison were revealed by a vii-it to that institution this morning. The victims of this reckless disregard of consequences are Frank Summers. a four your man from Stark County. and Wesley All .113. n “fa brie ’ar from Athens uod‘d’ty, rechved on vmfsmh 28th. Sum- mers was received last July. He was employed in Gill‘s prison foundry, and became moroso and ugly from some names. and threatened to maim himself at the first opportunity. His lsbor consisted in ludling the molten iron. Just how he accomplished the act is not known. as no one seems to have witnessed it, but when discovered, the metal had covered the lower part of one leg, horribly burning the flesh from the knee to the foot. Summers did not deny that the injury was ssltinflieted, but protested that he did not intend to make so serious 8. thing of it. When told that the leg would probe.- bly have to come 05, he bogged piteously that the physicians would not take it off. He now'repsnts bitterly of the not. As a matter of fact the leg is horribly burned, and the question whozher it can be saved is an open one. with the chances in favor of saving itr One would suppose that, seeing the serious result of the horrible experiment in Summers’ case. others would be deterred f1 om repeating it, but Allmann was not. He is agood mould- er, and became discontented and several times broke his pattern. IIe'cornrilained to the guard, who secured him a new pattern from the contractor. This was repeated for several days, when the guard con- cluded that Alimuun was purposely breaking his patterns, that the business must stop, etc. Later in the day (yester- day) the prisoner broke another pattern, when the guard reported him for infraction of the rules, sud punishment in sumo iorm was the result. Allmann re- turned to work in a sullen mood, and threatened to disable himself at the first opportunity. A watch was kept on him by the guard, but of a. sudden, while carrying a. ladle of molten ir'on, he stopped, pushed his leg out behind, and deliberately poured the metal upon the leg and foot. The clothes and shoe were burned off instantly, and the cult oi the leg ‘ournsd vary severely. It is thought, however, that the limb can be saved. Both man now lie upon beds of anguinh, and their sufferings are ten-fold worse than their imaginary wrongs in the bhop.

Fainting, in most of its forms. is a purely natural and physiological condition for which there is a good reason Fainting from loss of blood is noture’n remedy for the bleeding. The heart‘s action is lowured â€"rhe blood Withdrawn from the oxtremitian (where, presumably, the bleeding is going on) into the larger central vessels ; the patient lies motionless ; there ure no strug- gles to force the blood out of the wound ; there is no pain felt. In a can-«e of fainting, therefore, from [098 of blood. simply lay the patient on the hackâ€"a. little turned to one aideâ€"with the head low and the wound In a position favorable to the doctor’s manl- pulutions; loonen all fastenings and but i ‘ tons about the throat, and then await the doctor’s arrival. Don’t try to bring the patient around by delnging him with Water. Above all. give him no brandy, unless by the doctor’s orders. Brandy will end the fainting quick enough, but It will start the heart at double quick time, and send the blood surging through the peripheral arteries. breaking down and washing away any protective pulpe of clot which has pro- bably begun to close the wounded vessels.

" The field is the world." So said the founder of Christianity more than 1800 years n‘go.’ Much has been done, indeed, and much is being done, to convert the world to Christ. but what a. field is yet to harvest! The population of the world is ubout 1,443,000,000. Of this host about 850,000,000 are worshippers of idols made by men’s hands. 'Mohammeduns and Jews run up to about 170,000,000. Two- thirde of the world’s population are op- posed to, or are ignorant of J eons. O! the number who call themselves Chrietiaul, not more than 100 000,000 are nominally Protestents.and only 20,000,000 are mom- bera of Protestant Churches. The following words occur in what is called “ The Lost Song of Solomon," rs- oemly published in the London‘ Church Review: “ Who hath seenher who won here and is not? She is very young and comely"; her mother watchebh her. I Was enamored and she would not listen; she turned her face from me; as the moon hideth among the mountains of Lebanon, she hid her face from me. She is the pearl of pearls; there is none like my beloved. She hath no name among the daughters of Jerusalem. My beloved is more beautiful than the lily. Her eyes are like sapphires and her hair is as the yellowish mane of she lion. There is none like her; she is comely and her mother observebh her. Smught are her limbs as the algum tree that comes from Ophir in the ships of Tsrshirh ; her arms are like smooth ivory ; her head is a star with its brightness. She is the pearl of pearls which I wear in my cart. " ‘ ' To ninety-nine men in every one hundred Christianity is lying in the tomb, I do not know of anybody who 15 a. Christian. There does not live in my house any who is a. Christian according to the ideal of Christ. Iem not. I don't know how to take my life and lay it down absolutely for others as Christ did. I do a. great many Christian things, but who ever yet has imitated our Lord,who for oureekee became poor that we through his oppression might be rich? That ideal of Christ yet slum- bers. Before this world becomes a. better world we have got to give men amore equal chance in life by better breeding. Doo’tyou suppose that menthethuveleerned to breed hornee for better e eed, ehee for better wool and bollocks or better set will learn some day to breed better men ‘I For as goods well bought are already half sold, so a. child well born is already half converted. There has got to be e. reorgan- ization of society, a. regeneration of govern- ment, and there must needs be also a regeneration of buunene. Men must come into life better, through better families and under better government and institutions. â€"- H. W. Beecher. LOST SONG OF SOLOMON. » A greater than all the prophets is said to be expected at Bukhura. In the last week of Feb nary a [min appeared in ‘Bokhem who said that he had come from Nnmkam, and he demsnded, in Allah‘s mum. to be led before the Emir. The interview was granted, and the man thereupon informed the Emir that he was sent to announce that the age of the Mehdi (Messiah) was alone at hand. and that the Mahdi would himself appear on the tenth day or the sixth month. He Wished the Emir to rend him with a. greeting to the Mahdi, and he was hidden to remain at Bokhsra, until the Emir had determined what message he would send. The Emir ordered that the prophet should be examined by competent experts. These authorities pronounced that he was neither 3 madman nor a beggar. He was lodged in a handsome dwelling, a. Mall- mend“ was appointed to serve h1m,snd the choicesn of meats and drinks were sent to him regulrtrly by the Emir. The prophet, however, refused to touch any of them. He declared that he had not to get food or gar- ment, but simply to deliver a. message. He contented himself by eating a few ounces of ‘ a. medicament which he carried about with him, and, so for as any one could discover, he tested nothing else day or night. He said thztt the Emir was free either to accept- or reject bis demand to be sent as tne bearer of a. special greeting to the coming Mahdi.
