A Word.
They were on the lake as the sun went down,
Crowning the west with a golden crown.
That flashed on the spires of the distant town.
They leaned o’er the side of the light canoe,
Four tell-tale eyes in the mirror blue,
Disclosed a secret they only knew.
She mimicked the thrush on the wooded
shore, ‘
nghistled odd snatches from “Trovatore ’
They had sung together o‘er and o’er.
He dropped a pebble from his idlehand,
And watched the tremulous waves expand,
’1‘.“ they softly kissed the distant strand.
Bic dropped in his car a hasty word.
The depths of his jealous love were ttll‘l‘cd,
Aid the ripples widened, unseen, unheard.
Alas, for the sting of a bitter tone!
Alas, for the lover so late her own!
That night she rowed to the shore alone.

"The Wrath of Men Shall Praise
Thee.”
av nnv. GEORGE I. FULLER.
"
In response to prayer. and as the crowning
glory of honest work, a gracious revival
broke out in one of my largest circuits, and
spread far and near, reaching almost every
log‘cabin for miles; slaying the native car-
nality of scores of obdurate hearts and bring-
ing them into sweet captivity to the law of
Christ. There was one large household all
converted. except the husband. The wife
and mother had been the last one translated
from darkness into the glorious light and
liberty of the children of God. So glorious
the change, so clear the light and so full her
joy, that for days she was not able to give
ordinary attention to domestic affairs. This
greatly enraged her husband, who, ' with
horrid oaths, declared, “She is crazy, and
Fuller has made her so, and if she ever goes
to hear him preach again, I will shoot her or
shoot him, or shoot both of them.” The
Sabbath following this diabolical threatgmy
appointment was in the school house, or log
heap same people called it, in the neighbor-
hood of which the revival flame was still
burning with fervent heat. ‘The day was
pleasant. the congregation large, twice as
many as the house would hold. The day
being warm, the door was set open wide, not
for ventilation only, but for the accciumodu'
tion of those without. Standing beside the
door to conduct the services, I had just
repeated my text, when I heard a shuffling of ,
feet and much confusion outside; I turned
my head, and beheld the man who had
threatened to shoot his wife, pastor, or both,
come rushing through the crowd with the
fury of a demon, with a double barrelled rifle
in his hand. lie planted his feet on the door
stone. and taking deliberate aim at the head
- of his wife, pulled the trigger. I instantly,
without thinking what I was doing, threw up
my left hand and raised the rifle so that the
ball entered a log about two feet above the
head of his wife. The brethren seized and
disarmed the man, lest with deadly effect he
should discharge the other barrel. He had
been for weeks fighting conviction. but when,
quick- as thought, his eyes were opened to
see the vileness of his heart which had
prompted so diabolical an act as an attempt
upon the life of his wife in this public man-
ner', he broke down, and falling to the ground
' screamed. “God be merciful to me, a sinner "
It would have done the reader good to have
seen his loving wife fly to his embrace, and,
with arms around his neck, bathe him with
tears of affection, with her full heart crying
to God for his salvation. She did not release
her hold, nor cease to pray, until he shouted,
“ My God is reconciled,” and went home
from that meeting as crazy as his wife had
been at the craziest. He made a worthy
member of the church for many years, then
stepped into God‘s winged chariot-of flaming
seraphs, and shouted his way to heaven. '
Kisses on _ Interest.
A father, talking to his careless daughter,
said: “I want to speak to you of your
mother. It may be that you have noticed a
careworn look upon her face lately. Of
course it has not been brought there by any
- act of yours, still it. is your duty to chase it
away. I want you to get up to-morrow
morning and get breakfast, and when your
mother comes. and begins to express her
surprise, go right up to her and kiss hti' on
the mouth. You can’t imagine how it-will
brighten her dear face. Besides, you owe
her a kiss or two. Away b‘ack,.§.=wbeu you
were" a little girl, she kissed you when no
one else was trimmed by your fever-tainted
breath and swollen face; You were not as
attractive then as you are now. And through
those years of childish sunshine and shadows
Ihe was always ready to cure, by the magic
of a mother’s kiss, the little, dirty, chubby
hands whenever they were injured in those
first skirmishes with this rough old world.
And then the midnight kiss with which she ‘
routed so many bad dreams, as she lean'ed
above your restless pillow, have allhecn on
interest these long years Of course she is
not so pretty andldkmdde a; you are, but, if
you had done your share of the wni-l.‘ during
the last ten years. ill.” c-vnli'. .i. would not-

than an angel’s, as it hovered over you.
watching every opportunity to minister to
your comfort, and every one of those wrinkles
would seem to be bright wavelets of sun.
shine chasing each other over the dear face.
She will leave you one of these days. These
burdens, if not lifted from her shoulders,
will break her down. Those-rough,- hard
hands, that have done so inauy unnecessary
things for you, will be crossed upon her life-
less breast. " Those neglected lips, that gave
you your first baby kiss, will be forever

upedsd'in eternity, and than you will appre-
ciate your mother—but it will be too late.

Keeping Eggs.
There are several ways in which they may
be kept for months _with more or less loss of
freshness and flavor. But whatever pre-
serving medium is used, the sooner the eggs
are placed in it after being taken from the
nest the better. If they are allowed to lie
'arOund exposed to the air even fora day, or
if they are handled and shaken in the least,
their keeping ,Vgualiti‘es will be greatly im-
paired. The old-fashioned method is to
stand them on end in dry salt, in a keg box,
being careful that they do not touch each
other, and that the ,saitfills all the interces-
tices; when the keg is full, head it up and.
turn it oienpncé a week. Or coat the eggs
thickly with sweet bird, and. pack in the
same wayin, bran. 0r pack idpowdered,’
unalacked lime. Or dissolve quicklime in
water, making the solution as strong as pos-
sible, add as} much cream of tartar as the
solution will take hp, and put in the eggs,
taking care to keepthem covered all the
time. A French process, much recommended
is to make a varnish by melting together
beeswax and linseed oil, and thoroughly
coating the eggs with it, packing them in
boxes with paper pasted over the cracks to
exclude the air. The object of all these
processes is to exclude the air, which would
otherwise find its way through the pores of
the shell. It should be added that the eggs
should ,be stored in the coolest and drycst
place possible—N. E. Farmer. .

“Help Me Across, Papa.”
There was anguish in the faces of those
who bent over the little white bed, for they
knew that baby May was drifting away from
them. going out alone into the dark voyage
where so many have been wrested from
loving hand, as they tried in vain sto keep
her, or even to smooth with their kind
solitude her last brief sorrows, they, too,
experienced in the bitter hour of parting the
pangs of death. They only hoped that she
did not suffer now. The rings of golden
hair lay damp and unstirred on her white
forehead; the roses were turned to lilies on
her checks; the lovely violet eyes saw them
not. but werelupturncd and fixed ; the breath
on the pale lips came and went, fluttered
and seemed loth to leave its sweet prison. Oh,
the awful cruel strength of death, and the
weakness, the helplessness of love! They
who llwcd her better than life could not lift
a hand to avert the destroyer; they could
only watch and wait until the end should
cume. IIer merry, ringing laugh would
never again gladden their hearts‘; her little
feet would make no more music as they ran
pattering to meet them. Baby May was
dying, and all the house was darkened and.
hushed!
Then it was as the shadows felt in denser
waves about us, that ,she stirred ever so
faintly, and our hearts gave'a great bound as
we thought “she is better! she will live.”
Yes, she knew as; her eyes moved from one
face to the other, with a dim, uncertain gaze!
Oh! how good God was to give her back!
How we would praise and bless Him all our
lives! She lifted one dainty hand—-cold—
almost pulscless, but better, better-me
could have it so—and laid it on the rough
brown band of the rugged man who sat
nearest to her. His eyelids were red with
weeping, but now a smile lighted all ,his
bronzed face like a rainbow as he felt the
gentle pressure of his little daughter’s hand
—the mute, imploring touch, that meant. a
question.
“ What is it darling?" he asked. in broken
tones of joy and thanksgiving. She could
not speak, and so we raised her on the
pretty lace pillow, and her wee white face
shone 1n the twilight like a fair star, or a
sweet woodland flower.
She lifted her heavy eyes to his—eyes that
even then had the glory and the promise of
immortality in them, and reaching out her
little wasted arms, said in her weary, flute-
like voice:
“ Hélp me across, papa ‘2”
Then she was gene! We lioldhour break-
ing hearts as we gazed with tear-eimmed
eyes on the frail, beautiful shell, but she
was far away, whither we might not follow.
She Lhadcrcsscd the dark river, and not
alone.
" Over the river the boatmuii pa‘c
Carried another. the household pet.
“She crossed on her bosom her dimplcd hands
and fearlessly entered the phantom bark ;
We felt it glide from the silver sands,
And ail our sunshine grew strangely dark.”
Oh, infinite Father! When we may and
disappointed ones reach out pleading hands
to Thee wilt Thou take us even' as the little
child, and help us across over the mountains

Parlor Stoves,
A Terrible Mistake.
The condensed milk upon which Mrs.
Murphy fed her baby was kept at night upon
the window-sill in the nursery, where the
cool air, drawing in under the opened sash,
would envelop the can. One night when the
baby was unusually troublesome, Mr. Mur-
phy, faithful and self-sacrificing father and
husband, said that he would go to the nursery
and mix the milk for the hungry little suffer-
er. The nursery was quite dark, but Mr.
Murphy had often performed the service
before and he knew just where to put his
hand on the bottle and the spoon and other
things. It happened, liowcvei', that an open
can of baking powder stood upon the win-
diw-sill, near to the can of condensed milk
and Mr. Murphy gittiug hold of it, put two
spoonsful of the powder into the bottle, filled
the bottle with hot water, put on the rubber
top and went back to the bedroom.
When the baby had taken three or four
swallows of the mixture it pushed the bottle
away and began to behave in a most extra.
ordinary manner. Alter yelling with that
vebeinenCe which is always astonishing‘when
the size of a baby is considered, it turned a
couple of somersaults, rolled over and over,
clutched the. sides of its crib, and conduc-
ted itself generally in slicliu l'uslion as to fill
Mr. and Mrs. Murphy with intense alarm. '
"What on Larih can be the matter with
Alexander?” asked Mr. Murphy, inking the
bottle from his wife, as he turned her atten-
tion wholly to the child. '
“He acts as if he had cunvuieions" said
Mrs. Murphy.
Mr. -Murphy suggested a spice plaster as a
pissible alievi’gtion of the child’s pain ;’ and
Mrs. Murphy was just remarking that a spice
plaster was far too trivial a remedy for such
sp isms, when Mr. Murphy observed the odor
of the mixture in the bottle. He rcmo ed
the top and standipg behind Mrs. Murphy
applied the bottle to his nose. 'At once he
proceeded to the nursery and striking a light
discovered the nature of the mistake he had
made. Quickly he threw the can of baking
powder out. of the window, emptied and
washed the bottle, filled it with milk and re-
turned to the bedroom with the evidences of
his crime as be imagined, all removed ,
In an hour or two the baby grew quieter
and Mr. Murphy went to bed, remorseful,
but glad that he had had so much presence
of mind. Mrs. Murphy sat up all night with
the injured Alexander in heriarms. Mr.
Murphy came down to breakfast, feeling
upon the whole rather easy in his .mind.
Mrs. Murphy greeted him with a fierce look
in her eyes. ’
"You wanted to murder your child, did
you 3-" she asked with intense feeling.
“Murder my child, 'durling i?" asked Mr.
Murphy with an affectation of surprise while
his heart began beating furiously. "Why,
what do you mean 2’”
“You threw away the baking powder and
cleaned the bottle,” said Mrs. Murphy, with
a bitter sneer, “but you forgot the spoon l I
found sOme baking powder in the spoon !
Ha! ha! Be sure your sin will find you out 1
1f Alexander had died you would have been
a murderer ! A red-handed murderer.” _
And then Mrs. Murphy burst into tears
and flew up stairs. Mr. Murphy went down
town without his breakfast and with a
strong determination to refrain hereafter
from providing nocturnal nutriment for
Alexander.

. Adaptation is an evoluti-tn tin-cry which
has received strong confirmation. One of its
principles is that organs or functions of
living creatures gradually disappear if un-
used. . A familiar illustration is furnished by
the blind fish of caves. yvhose eyes through
long disuse have been reduced to a rudi-
mentary and eightiess state. It appears,
however, that the evolution view does not
always hold good, if it be true, as lately
stated, that in some European instances mice
have been raised in absolute darkness for
many generations without appearing to have
lost in the slightest degree the sensitivcnesl
of the eye to light.
Of a hundred peas preserved in the free
air by Messrs. Van Tieghein and Gaston
Bonnier, ninety afterward germinated; of a
hundred enclosed with air in a sealed tube,
only fortydive; while of a like lot kept in
carbonic acid gas, none grew. Similar re.
sults were obtained with other seeds, show-
ing clearly that all seeds should bestored
where pure air may have full access to them.
A substitute for cod-liver oil which has
met with considerable favor is extracted
from the dugong, an herbivorous cetacesn
'inhabiting the warm seas near Australian
and the Eastern Archipelago. The dugong
oil is free from the unpleasant odor and taste
so objectionable in cod-liver oil, and is less
liable to change in keeping.
A volcanic eruption from the Karabetow
mountain in the Caucasus is reported. This
mountain has not before shown volcanic
phenomena during historic times.
A curious observation concerning some' of
the Australian acacias (Acacia dealbata)
acclimatized in India is recorded by Dr.
Brandis,Director.of the India Forest Depart-
ment. The& trees were probably introduced
on the Nilgiris several years before 1845.
They were known to flower in 1845 in
October, .the month of their Australian
flowering time; but in 1860 they flowered
in September; in 1870, in August; in 1878,
in July; and in 1883 they began to flower in
June—the Spring month in India, corres-
ponding to October in Australia. It is
remarkable that it should have taken the
trees nearly forty years after removal to
regain their habit of flowering in Spring.
It has been found that sunlight has a con-
siderable action upon glass. Colorless glass,
for example, has become yellow, and light
yellow; green and blue have turned to the
darker or mellow shades of these colors;
while coffeecolored glass has been known to
materially change to rose and amber in the
short space of five years. It is suggested
stained windows of old cathedrals may be
due to the action of the sunlight during
many years in toning down the originally
quite bright or harsh colors.
A medical authority states that the oyster
contains fourteen per cent. flesh-forming
from eggs. It has but five per cent. less of
muscle-making matter and two per cent. less
of fat than lean beef. It seems surprising
that among the thousands of species of shell-
fish only a very few kinds are eaten, such
as oysters, clams, periwlukles, cookies and
mussels. But two or three species are known
to be poisonous. -
In his last contribution to science, Darwin
showed the wonderful work that is per-
formed by earth-worms in the formation of
the vegetable mould or soil which covers the
earth in all moderately humid countries.
The number of these creatures is vast—-
Henson’s calculation, quoted by Darwin~
being that each acre of garden mould con.
tains 53,767 worms, while about half that
number must exist to the acre in corn-fields.
A recent careful examination in New Zealaad
by Mr. A. T. Urquhart proves that‘zven
these figures may be far below the truth.

land, and testing the soil in many places over

The annual rainfall upon the two sides of
the Gulf of California shows a remarkable
difference, according to Prof. Siliimsn, of
Yale College. It appears, for instance, that
the eastern shore at Culiacan, the capitol of
the Mexican province of Sinsloa,.receiVed
twenty-three inches of rain in 1870, an'dfat
Mazatlan,the chief seaport, thirty-five inches
in 1880; while on the western shore of the
gulf, in the peninsula of Lower California,
the yearly fall of water rarely reaches four
inches. ‘
