A latter-day philosopher has eaid, "Send me all the dresses a woman has worn in the course of her life and I will write her biog- raphy from them." A West End man gave his wife $5 for a health appliance. She bought a plume for her hat. He thinks the " feather cure" ought to be advertized. " It is not necessaiy for a man to be poor to be honest."

BUEitt A bear who had made himadfbelieTe that he had the « orst luck of any anunal in crea Uoa, was crawling through tho woods one day when he met a Serpent, who inquir- ed " Which way now, my Friend " " I am going to find some spot where I can letire from the World. The World has not used me right, and in revenge I wUl desert it." "I wouldn't do that." " But I will. 1 can no longer trust any- body. I have been cheated, lied to and misused until I have no faith left. I will now retire within myself, and if any convul- sion of Nature takes place the country must not blame me for it. I have borne all that one Bear can be expected to put up with." Bruin went his way until he found a lonely spot, and he then .crawled into a hole and began listening for the Crack of Doom. It made him feel good to think that the World was turning itself bottom side up because he bad absented himself from sight and searcb, and be was determined not to yield until after several thousand terror-stricken people had come to him with tears in their eyes. Much to Bruin's surprise the night pass- ed like all the other nights. No one appear- ed during the forenx)n to plead with him, and the afternoon passed without an Earth- quake or Toinado. He momentarily ex- pected the advent of a crowd to plead him to come back to the World and have faith and confidenet, but the crowd didn't show up. After a long and hungry night Bruin began to weaken. After much argument with himself he crawled out of his den and was sneaking through the woods when he met a Hare. " Is the World yet standing " asked the Bear. " Certainly, never more solid since I can remember. " " And is anyone searching for me " "Not that I know of." " Every goes on just the same, eh " " Just the same." "And didn't you hear I had lost all faith in human nature, and retired from the World " " Never heard a word of it. Tra-la, old man, I'moflF." The Bear sat down on a thistle and thought the matter over for a few minutes, and thei^arose and made a bee-line for his usual hauhts, telling every animal he met on the way that he had been off on a fishing excursion.

Tea and coff"ee are beverages used through- out the civilized world, and their effects have been studied with no little interest. That they affect the system there can be no manner of doubt, but whether this effect is beneficial or otherwise, is the question. The experience of those who use coffee and tea st ows us that they are stimulating in their action, and that coffee is more so than tea. Both are asserted to be nuti*!- tionf, which may or may not be attributed to the fact that they remove the sense of fatigue and hunger, and allay the mental unrest produced by exhaustion and anxiety. If used to excess they derange the organs of digestion and cause various annoying dis- eases. Functional disturbances of the ner- vous system are also caused by ther txces- aive employment, such as headache, vertigo, and coniusion of the mind. A cup of coffee after dinner facilitates di- gestion. Those who take a cup of coflTee in the morning suffer with headache if they omit it. Coffee is a laxative, tea is an as- tringent. The use of either frequently pro- duces wakefulness. The above is what is taught in regard to the effects of tea and coffee. But the reas- ons for them must be looked for beneath the â- uface. Tea and coflfee are stimulants, and they share with other stimulants a roperty com- mon in a greater ox less extent to them all. Alcohol will do the same thing. Stimu- lants, as a rule, if taken in small doses, pro- mote the appetite and increase the digestive power by stimulating the gastric fv^Uicles. But if used to excess derange the organs of digestion and excite functional disturbances of the nervous system. This is accounted for both chemically and physiologically. Both contain tannin. Headache, vertigo, etc., are the effects of over-stimulating the aervous system. Tea and coffee derive their activity not only from the volatile oil which they con- tain, but from an important constituent known by the names of caffaine or iheine. Bartholow says " Caffeine, in small medicinal doses, pro- motes appetite and increases the digestive powers. On the heart it exercises a deci- ded stimulant action, and raises the arterial tension. As regards the cerebral effects, it may be stated that at first drowsiness occurs, but this 18 aoop followed by wakefulness, excitement, muscula tt may, therefore, be seen that coffee aSxS tea are like most other things, excellent when taken in moderation, but most nnex- itUent if taken to ex Reply PosvCards in ISngland, A treasury warrant appears in last n'ght's Gazette prescribing the regulations and con- ditions for the use of reply post-cards with- in the United Kingdom, the Channel is- lands, and the Isle of Man. It will come into operation en the 1st of October next. The cards will bear an impressed stamp ' of one-half penny on each half.

Anything (including a letter of communica- tion in the nature of a letter) may be writ- ten, printed or otl erwise impressed on that side of each half of a reply post-card which does not bear the impressed stamp. Nothing whatever must be in any manner attached to a reply post-card nor must a reply post- card after the issue thereof be cut or fulded or otherwise altered, except that that half of a reply post-eard which is intended to be used for the purpose of a reply (in these regulations referred teas "the return half" may be severed from the other half thereof. If any reply post-card or the return half thereof is teat by post otherwise than in conformity with these regulations it shall be enclosed in a sealed cover and forwarded to its destination, charged on delivery with postage as an insufficiently paid letter of the same weight. â€" London Standard. *J^X^3|; Control of Feeling. It is sometimes'Furged that, however re- sponsible we may bejfor our deeds, we can- not be held accountable for our feelings, as they come and go unbidden. Yet, if it is true that every feeling is dependent for its continuance upon the action which it prompts, the feeling itself is at least medi- ately under our control. We cannot, it is true, by an effort of the will, at once expel from the heart a cust of passion; but we can deny the angry utterances that tremble on our lips. \Ve cannot suddenly kill a selfish desire, but we can refuse to commit the un- just or unkind action that it prompts. We cannot immediately banish curiosity or a love of gossip but we can withhold from them the food on which they thrive. In the same way, it worthy and honorable im- pu ses are weak within us, we can strength- en them by following steadfa'^tly that course • f conduct which they suggest. We can in- crease our sense of justice oy doing justly, our sympathetic feelings, by tender and loving acts, our good temper by self-govern- ment.

The word ' • honeymoon" is traceable to a Teutonic origin. Among theTeu'ons was a favorite drink called " metheglin." it was made of honey, and much like the present mead of European countries. The same bev erage was in use among the Saxons, as well as another called '^orat," which was also made of honey, but flavored with mulber- ries. The honeyed drinks were used in great abundance at f eetirals. Among the no^ fbility the ntarriage was tielebrated a whole trembling, conhiai(»l Ju»«r month, w^idajras called a diooa, dur; log which the festive board was well nip^ pUed with the hcney drink.

The Society for promoting Chiistiamty among the Jews has stations in England, Austria, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Persia, Russia, Tni^ey, the Danubian Piinfoipalities, Asia Minor, Syria, and North Africa, while in Jerusalem a special effort through the means of the Hospital to seek the welfare of Israel has been very successful. The 'greatest work of the Society has been the putting into the hands of the ews their own Scriptures, together with a Hebrew translation of the new Testament. Since 1823, 153,286 entire copies of the Old Testament, and 380,263 parts of the same, have been circulated. Since 1817, 188,468 copies of Hebrew New Testaments, and portions thereof, have been sold or distributed gratis. Of late years, the British and Foreign Bible Society have taken up the printing and circulation of the Hebrew Scriptures as a branch of their labours. The Society supports a number of schools in its foreign stations as well as London. It has schools in Bucharest, Constantmople, Damascus, Jerusalem, Mogador, and Tunis, where a large number of Jewish children are receiving daily instruction, and in all their youthful minds the seeds of the Word is patiently being sown. At Jerusalem there are the Girls' School, and the Inftitution for Jewesses. The Hospital where the Jew is made practically to understand the power of Christian love and benevolenc« and the House of In- dustry, where the convert is put in the way of gaining his livelihood. The most diligent search could only discover thirty-five Christian Israelites in England at the beginning of the century. Since that time more than a hundred Jews have been ordained as clergymen of the Church of England. Our missionaries es- timate that there are now 2,000 Christian Israelites in Liondon, and probably 1000 "more in the English provinces. "It can be stated with confidence that in Germany there is not a town where there are not some Jews who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and this is the result of our mission, directly and indirectly." There are now neariy 5,000 Jewish Christians in Prussia. The Societies for promoting the Conversion of the Jews had made, since the cominence- ment of the present century, some 20,000 proselytes. A correspondent of the London Record writing from Jerusalem says The agents of the Jewish Mission have found a large and promising field of labour amongst the hundreds of Israelites who, driven from Russia, have come to the Holy Land. Formerly, Jews came to the Holy City only to weep for its fall, to study the writings of the Rabbis, or, after passing their last years within its crumbling walls, to be buried on the slope of Ohvet. On its approach to Jerusalem each little company was met by those who performed for it the ceremony of clothes-rending, in token of grief for the desolation of the sanctuary. Now the case is different, the new-comers appear to have little sympathy with their Talmud-reading brethren, many of them seem to have re- ceived a smattering of Gentile learning, some have been clerk in bankers' lawyers' or merchants' effices, others tradesmen, and as they come in numbers too large to be soon absorbed into the mass of the Jew- ish population, they are easier of access than their co-religionists who have been longer resident here. The Society's " Em- quirers' Home " and "House of Industry ' are filled with inmates, and it has been found necessary to establish a large party (some of whom are not " Enquirers " in charge of a scripture-reader in a camp out- side the town, at a spot known as the "Sanitorium." Here some of them have been employed in field-labor, others in a different way. A good many come here in- stead of going to America or elsewhere, be- cause they had been told that they would receive land gratis. Their hopes were dis- appointed, as the Turkish Government, though it permits Russian Jews to settle in its dominions, and would, it is supposed, be glad to have them in Asia Minor, seems to be frightened at the noise which "the return of ihe Jews to Palestine " has made, and consequently objects to the establish- ment in the Holy Land of a distinctly orj ganized Jewish colony, which may in time prove the nucleus of a " regnum in regno." Private individuals, it is said, are not likely to meet with the opposition to their, ac- quiring land which a "corporation" will, and the " Habazelth " states that many of these Russian emigrants have annoimced their intention of purchasing property on their own account.

All can be condoned and do not banish men or women from the amenities of their kind But self-possessed, unshrinking and ag- gressive coarseness of demeanor may be reckoned as a State's prison offence, and certainly merits that mild form of restraint called imprisonment for life. It is a shame for women to be lectured on their manners. It is a bitter shame that they need it. Women are the umpires of society. It is they to whom all mooted questions should be referred. To be a lady is more than to be a princess. To a lady, prince and pea- sant alike bow. Do not be restiained. Do not have impulses that need restraint. Do not wish to dance with the pi. roe unsought; feel differently. Be sure you confer an honor. Carry yourself so loftily that men shall look up to you for reward, not at you in rebuke.
