That is untrue, The Lord did not saw it,
but Satan said it to the Lord, when the svil
one wanted Job still more afflicted, The
record 18 “So went Satan forth from the
Jr osence of the Lord and smote Job with sors

eruptive disease since then, and he hopes by
poisoning the blood to poison the soul. But
the result of the diabolical experiment which

Satanic remark—'" All that a man hath

The First fice in India.
When one of the first importations of
ice from America arrived in India it
was most amusing to see the anxiety
with which it was sought after. The
deposits were only open for a short
tie before sunrise, when crowds of
coolies were in attendance to carry off
the portions required by their employ-
ers; there portions were immediately
enveloped in thick blankets and in
closed in baskets, which were carried
off with all speed; but a very consider.

immediately on feeling its extreme

that it was “‘burra gurram'’ very hot.

his mamma that the “glass bad burnt

Always have a supply of soft old linen
and sticking-plaster for cuts, and try to
keep pieces of stuff for bandages
Lonsdale muslin, new, torn off in strips
three inches wide, with raw edges, and
from one lo three yards long, will be
the best. They will be very useful in
an emergency, when these need to form
a bandage around the body or limbs.
It is a very good plan to Jracties wre
pine these bandages neatly and quick.
y. They must be brought round and
round, crossing and recrossing, always
on the bias, so that the last fold really
holds the others in place. At the last,
the end of the bandage is split down a
little way, and while the folds are held
firmly in place one of the split ends is
reversed around the limb, while the
other is brought tightly forward; the
two ends are then tied, and the ban-
dage is firmly fastened. It sometimes
proves a very valuable accom ent
to roll a surgeon's bandage q and
well. Next to the bandages come such
things as argion and esmphorated oil
for bruises and stiffness. ammonia for
insect bites, and sweet oil for burns.
