Interests of Women and the THE REAL LADY BURTON Romaotic aed AdveetyroMS History of a Noted Wofflamio A very full biography of Isabel lAxAy Bruton )ins Just been published In London. A largo portion of these two volumes is the autobiographical work of Lady Burton herself, but W. II. Wllklns has filled In the gaps. IIo has gathered Information concerning his subject from many sources, and ho has set forth tho whole story of her ad venturous life with such literary skill, such tnct, such sympathy, and Insight that he must bo complimented upon having given to the reading woild one of tho most notable of the many excol- I; lent Diogrnpnies wnicu navi iron im- I) v light in tho course of tho past twelve monms. The story of Bliss Arundcll's love for Captain Hurton, as It is unfolded in these pages. Is as captivating as any love story ever Imagined by a writer of pure romance. Isabel Arundell was a beautiful girl, high spirited, uncon ventional, Intellectually ambitious, in dependent and possessing a very large share of tho mysterious quality which she. herself describes as "supernormal consciousness." This supernormal con sciousness amounted in her to what might almost be called tho gift of sec ond sight. Over and over again wo rend of her dreaming of some distant concurrence or divining some coming event with an accuracy of prescience Httlo short of amazing. In her early girlhood she made the acquaintance of a gypsy named Hagar Burton, who prophesied that she, Isabel Arundell, would cross the sea, be in the same town with her Destiny and not know it, and that she would bear the namo of Burton. Long afterwards, when walk ing one day with her sister on tho ramparts of Boulogne, Bliss Aruudell saw a distinguished-looking stranger walking towards her. "He looked at me," she says, "as though lie read mo through and through in a moment, and started a lit tle. I was completely magnetized: and when we had gone a llttlo distance away I turned to my sister, and whis pered to her: -that MAN WILL. MARRY ME." She saw him again on tho next day; he followed her and wrote up In chalk the words: "May I speak to you?" leaving the chalk on the wall. Bliss Arundell took up tho chalk and wrote back: "No; mother will be angry." Afterwards, however, they met and spoke, and she learned that tho strang er was Captain Richard Burton. On leaving Boulogne she saw net more of Burton for four years, and had apparently no prospect of meeting him again. Yet during his absence on his famous pilgrimage to Blecca, and on his first expedition into Africa, she fol lowed him ceaselessly In thought and In prayer night and day. After his re turn from the Crimea she met him quite by chance in the Botanical Gar dens. At the end of a fortnight ho asked her: "Could you do anything bo slekly as to give up civilization? And If I get the consulate of Damascus will you marry me and go and live there? Think it over." She replied: "I do not want to think it over I have been thinking it over for six years, ever Llnco I first saw you at Boulogne. I have prayed for you every morning and night, I have followed all your ca reer minutely, I have read every word you ever wrote, and I would rather have a crust and a tent with you than be queen of all the world, and so I say Jiow, 'Yes, yes, yes!" "KEPT SECRET." This betrothal was kept a secret dur ing the whole time while Burton was fighting his terrible way through tho Central Atrlcan Jungle to find the fa bled lakes beyond the Usagara Bloun talns, which at that time tho eye of the white man had never seen. But they were mairled at last, and never, surely, were a man and woman better mated. They traveled together In many lands, and Isabel proved herself to bo unexampled In her ability and energy as a consul's wife. Ono realizes very fully in this book how utterly both Richard Button and his wife were thrown away in the consular service, and how shamefully Burton, was neg lected and misunderstood by tho gov ernment which employed him. In many of his appointments his wife was of signal and practical servlco to him. Mr. Wllklns vigorously and success fully defends Lady Burton against the acrimonious and unfounded allegations mado against her by Bliss Georglna Stlsted in her so-called "True Life of Sir Richard Burton." Bliss Stlsted, who is Burton's nipce, declared that Bur ton's recall from the consulato of Da mascus was directly due to tho social and polltloal difficulties brought about by his wlfo'a blunders and imprudence. Mr. Wllklns disproves this assertion absolutely and completely. Biles Stls ted has also stated that Lady Burton lost her hfad and fled from Damascus on hearing a rumor of cholera; hut wo are hero shown that Lady Burton worked bravely and courageously among the cholera patients and was even herself attacked by tho disease. With equal success docs BIr.. Wllklns exonerate Lady Burton from tho cruel accusation of having acted in bad faith In the matter of Burton's conver sion to the Roman Catholic church, and from the impugnmq'it of the mo- lives wnicn jea ncr to destroy the manuscript of her dead husband's translation of "The Scented Garden." the uicvcm: i.ko. It Jias now been discovered by tho student of such matters that bicycle riding gives' women tho bicycle leg. It Is said by, the. experts that this evil attacks women more readily than it does men prq'bajjly because their mus cles arjl .mora, flexible and adaptablo than ithosfl of the wheelmen. This Is no merOTpmuncJng, for only the other daJ!LVun; elr said: "I never rode mucluuntlMaat summer, and did not noUec fchat my legs had been affected toy'lt until th3 dancing season opened last .winter. The muscles of my legs seemed ;to remain stiff all evening- at hft first ball, and' I wag nwfvlly un- rnsy, for I thought I had contracted my feet or make them go at all. You may Imnglne how my partners glared at mo. Not one of them came back for a second turn, so I pleaded head ache and mamma and 1 went home. 1 was puzzled, but did not Fay any thing to anybody, for I had always had tho reputation for being a good dancer. I had tho same experience at the next dance and tho next after that. Finally my doctor told me I had tho bicycle leg. IIo told mo that we havo two sets of muscles In our legs. Ono sort wo use for nil kinds of graceful exercises. We might call these the del saitian muscles. The others are tho working muscles. Fuelling tho pedals develops the latter until tho others are overcome, and when you attempt the graceful act you are about as success ful as a cow would be." So To make a strawberryade, wash half a pound of sound, ripe berries and bruise them with a sliver spoon. Rub Into them four ounces of sifted sugar and one gill of water. Fress tho mlx turo through a sieve, add a pint of water and the Juice of half a lemon; filter through a piece of cheesecloth Into a glass Jar and stand beside tho Ice until wanted. Then mix It with ice-cold seltzer, apolllnarls, or plain iced water. For a fruit temperance cup, cut the yellow rinds from four lemons, very thin, and drop them In a large earthen bowl. Squeeze tho Juice from ono dozen lemons onto tho peel and add two pounds of granulated sugar to tho Juice; cover and let It stand over night. Into another bowl put a peeled and shredded pineapple and one quart of small frluts such as strawberries, cher ries, and raspberries, taking about an equal amount of each fruit. Cover the fruit with sugar and let Is stand over night. In the morning crush thorough ly tho fruits and strain the liquid into the lemon syrup. Add one pint of fresh ly made cold tea and put the mixture) In a cold place for several hours. When It Is desired for use add two quarts of Iced water for this amount of fruit Juices. Charged waters may bo used In place of plain Iced water if they are liked. To make a refreshing summer drink, to two pints of water add one pint of granulated sugar. Place over the fire long enough to entirely dissolve tho sugar; take it from tho fire and add to the syrup the Juice from three fine lemons and the grated peel of one, the inside of one orange and ono pineap ple, peeled and picked into pieces. Let the liquid mixture stand until partly cooled and then strain through a coarte sieve, rubbing as much of the fruit through as possible; then place It where It will become perfectly cold. At serv ing time add to the liquid a pint of Ice cold apolllnaiis water. An excellent drink Is made from raspberry Juice. To ono quart of fresh, perfect fruit add the Juice of ono lemon and ono tart orange. Bruise tho fruit with a spoon and add one pint of wnter. Let it stand two or three hours. Meanwhile dissolve three fourths of a pound of granulated sugur In ono quart of boiling water and let this become cold. Rub the fruit through a fine sieve and add it to the cold syrup and servo with shaved lco In the glass es. Strawberries and currants may ba used In the same way, only with the latter fruit more sugar Is required. For a fruit lemonade put one and one-half pints of sugar Into a sauce pan with one quart of water. Place the pan over tho fire and cook until tho sugar is dissolved. Peel and grate one pineapple, and add to this one banana, sliced, half a cup of cherries, from which the stones have been taken, and tho same quantity of grapes cut Into halves and seeded. Add the prepared fruits to the syrup when It Is taken from the fire, and when the mixture Is cold add the strained Juice of two or anges, half a pint of lemon Juice, and tho same quantity of tho Julco from berries. When perfectly cold add shaved Ice and some water. Serve in glasses with a spoon. There are many desirable cold drinks that may be kept at hand which are not made of fruits. Iced chocolate is an especially good one. To proparo it put into a porcelaln-llned or granite kettle four ounces of finely powdered, unsweetened chocolate and six ounces of granulated sugar. Add one quart of water and. when they are well mixed, place the kettle over a moderate fire and' nllow tho contents to boll until the liquid Is of tho consistency of a thick syrup. Take it from the fire and stir tho mixture frequently while It Is cooling. When cold flavor It with va nilla extract and servo In tall tumblers partly filled with cracked ice, adding a couple of spoonfuls of whipped cream to each tumbler. This chocolate syrup can be kept In glass Jars in a refrigera tor and win remain good for a long time. Among beverages flavored with something morn than tho Juices of fruits the following is excellent: Into a pitcher put tho ycjlow rind of a le mon, cutting it aB thin as possible from tho fruit and rejecting the white, bit ter part. Add the Juice of tho lemon and a talflesponful of good Jamaica rum. Blend with these Ingredients two teaspoonfuls of granulated sugar. Place a Good-sized piece of lco In tho pitcher, pour over tho whole a bottle of ginger aid, mix well, and servo at once. To make pine apple cheer, wash a pineapple, peel the fruit, and then with a silver fork begin at tho stem end and pick It Into small pieces. Put the pieces Into an earthen dish and oover them with powdered "Ugar Take the jvein and put them -In ft saucepan with water enough to cover them and let them boll to extract the flavor. Then strain the liquid through a fino slevo over tho picked fruit. Let this stand In a cold place several hours before addlnn a quarter of a pound of sugar and a. bottle of hock. When these aro wo'l blended and It Is time for serving add one bottle Of seltzer. Servo cracked lco In tho glasses. Lemonades nre best If the sugar Is dissolved in tho water by heating them together, thus making a syrup. This process seems to give more consistency to the drink. Tho white of an egg beaten light and added to lemonado gives the drink nutriment, A refreshing drink Is mado thus: Beat the white of an egg light. Stir Into It three teaspoonfuls of powdered sugar and the Julco of a lemon. Beat well together and add a gill of rum with the same quantity of rich milk. Partly fill a pitcher, holding about a quart, with cracked Ice, and pour tho mixture over It. Add a small bottle of seltzer and It Is ready for use. A syrup may bo conveniently kept at hand to use for sweetening punches, lemonade, and other drinks. It will re maln good a long time If kept where It Is cool. To make It, extract tho oil from the ix-el of a half dozen lemons by rubbing them with cut sugar. Squeeze the Julco from tho lemons and strain the Juice over the lumps of sugar. Add the Juice from six oranges and five pounds of cut sugar. Place these In gredients In an agato or porcelain lined kettle with two quarts of water, and add a couple of blades of mace, a small piece of stick cinnamon, and four cloves. Let this cook slowly over the fire about one-quarter of an hour. Skim out the spices and turn tho syrup Into bottles. When tho syrup Is cold cork the bottles. New York Sun. THE HAIR, Rustics who live on a bread-and-milk diet nearly nlways havo heavy hair to an advanced age, while people who lunch and dlno on meat rarely havo after 2o. The Italian parliament shows an un rivaled collection of billiard-ball heads, while the Italian peasants always re joice In heavy growths of hair. Brittany peasant men have hair almost as long and heavy as their wives. A very clover and well-known doc tor claims that meat eating and bald nest go together, nnd he has often checked cases of falling hair by com bining with local treatment a diet of milk, eggs and fruit. The finest heads of hair belong to the Kalmuck women, who nre deaf to music. Tho hair touches the giound when they stand, and Its only fault Is that It Is coarse in texture. These wo men live on a diet of milk, tea and rye bread. In society ono may always tell tho girls whoso parents have risen from the humbler classes to wealth by the super ior quality of their hair. Verdi has been given as an example of the effect of Instrumental music on the growth of hair; but Rochefort can be pitted against him. Rochefort does not know a note of music, but if he did not keep Ms snowy fleece cut to a mod erate length It would swamp him. After all, tho most simple methods of caring for the hair are the best.

Leaving Berea to escape ' from tho Jews who had como over fron? Thessalonlca, Paul followed tho Blaster's dlroctlon (Matt, x, 23) and fled to Athens. He was escorted by brethren who knew tho way, tho Journey being more than two hundred miles in a southerly direc tion, occupying at least a week. At that tlmo Athens was tho chief city of Attica, ono of the most important divisions of Greece. Founded In lb50 B. C. by Cecrops It had been the capital of the leading re public, and had been distinguished as tho seat of literature In the golden period of. tho nation. Whllo waiting for Silas and Timothy to join him, probably two weeks elapsed, during which Paul looked about the city. On tho Sabbath he vis ited the Jewish synagogues, and, accord ing to his custom In other places, engaged In teaching. Ono day ha encountered tho philosophers, who Invited him to the areopagus, so call because It was on a hill, named from Ares or Blars. There ho delivered an address which wo shall now study. INSCRIPTION. Paul began his addre3B by lef erring to an Inscription "to the un known god," which ho had seen on ono of tho altars, courteously remarking thut tho people woro exceedingly religious (verses 23 and 23), not superstitious, as our version has it. It Is said that there were thirty thousand Idols In the city, and Petronlus declared that It "was easi er to find a god In Athens than to find a man." And yet these numerous: alturs failed to satisfy the longings of the heart. Nolther had Greek culture, in which art, poetry and philosophy attained nn excel lence unknown elsewhere, met tho needs of man's higher nature. This ono altar, with Its strango Inscription, showed that many supposed thero was a Dlcty, un known to them, superior to others, whoso favor they coveted. Tho best learning of the tlmo had advanced far enough to re veal a necessity which it could not sup ply. Hero was Paul's opportunity and text. He boldly announced hls mission to declare the Being whom by their un aided powers they had failed to discover. (Job xl, 7.) HABITATION. Tho pagans deified the powers of uaturo nnd the spirits of de parted heroes. They supposed that the latter would como to abide in somo form which the devotee mlpht construct, or that ha would occupy that form at bouts of devotion. Puul lets tho philosophers know that tho Qod whom h proclaimed was the maker of tho "world and all things therein," (Acts xlv, 15) the funda. mental truth of monotheism, (den. I, 1); that this maker was also the Lord or ruler of "heaven .and earth " (vrse 2) and, fur thermore, as must be manifest, that such a being did not dwell In any earthly tem ple (I Kings, vlll, 27.) By these few words Paul had announced to his Athenian au dience thoso conceptions of the God-ncad for which tho Greeks had vainly Bought for centuries. With tho temple of the Eumenldet, tho templo of Theseus, the Colossus of 'Mlru-rva, and the Acropolis In full sight ell dedicated to other views, tlio courage which prompted tho utterances was of the highest order, Home, llttlo washing with harsh soaps, etc., that will Irritate tho scalp. And often hair that Is thin and poor In quality may be mado thick and glossy by this systematic care. s, A good cleaning fluldr for removing spots from men's clothing or Bponglng silk and woolen goods Is made of pul verized soap-tree bark. Let a couple of tablespoonfuls of tho bark steep in n generous pint of water until tho strength Is drawn from the wood. Strain tho water through n cloth, and for sponging It can bo used at onco. Strained Into a Jar and with a couplo of spoonfuls of alcohol added It will keep any length of time, to be used when It Is required. It Is best not to Iron sponged dress goods. Tho cloth should bo pinned to the floor upon sheets or rolled smoothly and tight over a largo roller kept for tho purpose. To stiffen sheer handkerchiefs, laces, wash silks, or any other thin fabric It Is best to use gum arable starch. To make It put Into a bottle ono ounce of gum arable and pour over it one cup of cold wnter; stand tho bottle In a dish of cold water, and place it over the fire until the gum Is dissolved; then strain it through a fine slevo or piece of cheese cloth Into another bottle. When it Is cold put in a half gill of alcohol, and It will keep and be ready to use when needed. When dainty laces are to bo stiffened, half a teaspoonful of the starch, mixed with a small cup ful of water, will give the lace ample stiffness, adding a larger amount of the starch as It Is needed for different fab rics. It Is often necessary, owing to fear of the brushes being improperly dried when away from home, that these should not be put Into water. They then may be thoroughly cleansed with flour. Have the flour perfectly dry and plen tifully rub It Into the bristles. Let the brushes stand for an hour or longer, then shake the dust out on an old tray or newspaper, after which use a clean comb, running It briskly through tho bristles as If combing them out. A sec ond rubbing of the bristles with pulver ized magnesia before the combing, If the bristles are very much discolored, may bo used. This will bo found a most effectual modo of cleansing bristles. It Is said that when linens are badly scorched the spot can bo removed If treated q the following manner: Ex tract theiulce from two peeled onions and putrlt Into an agate or granite vessel. Add' to It half an ounce of white castlle soap cut Into small pieces and two ounces of Fuller's earth. BIlx them together and then stir In one cup of vinegar. Stand the vessel over the fire and let Its contents thoroughly boll. When the mixture has become cuol spread It over the scorched linen and let It dry upon the cloth. When well dried wash out the linen. Proper attention must be paid to the brushes one uses if one values hei hair. To begin with, brushes s'hould be kept spottlessly clean. Have them made of moderately stiff bristles, not too long and put In singly, that Is, not close to gether. Closely set long bristles are very liable to assist In spoiling the hair. They are apt to split at the ends and catch tho hair as it passes through them and break it off. Watch your hair brushes closely, and when a split In At herns. ActsiXVII, 22-34. J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D., American Society erf Religious Education. WORSHIP. The apostle next present ed tho proper motive and method of tho worship which ought to be offered to this exalted Being, who had mado all things, who governs all things. Tho pagans sup posed that their gods had needs which might bo supplied by men and in supply ing which favor might bo obtained. They brought costly offerings of food and drink for the gods to consume. This idea of the dependenco of god on men, the re versal of tho truth, Puul disclaims and disproves. (Psalm I, 9-10). The God whom ho proe'plrred cannot ba worshipped with men's hfcndv; thr Is, by their girts (verse 25.) On the contrary, Ho Is tha giver of life and breath and all things. (James I, 17.) Worship must not bo a barter, a purchaso of a blessing. It must rather bo a grateful homage on the one side, and a free, unmerited bestowal on tho other. Tho absolute, Infinite, all sufficient and selfl contained Gtxl, tho God of tho Jew and of tho Christian, is thus set forth. OFFSPRING.-Stlll further to enlarge tho conceptions of God tho address pro ceeds to show how men are related to Him. (Verses 26, 27 and 28.) Tho Atheni ans claimed to bo eborlglnal, to havo sprung from tho earth, and they regarded tho rest of mankind as Inferior. Paul de. clarcs that God had made all men of ono blood, and therefore thoy constituted ono family, a doctrine Imbedded In tho whole ScrIpture(Gen. II, 7.); that this world wide family had been divided by tha Blakor Into nations, with appointed boun darles (Gen. xl, $); that it was His will that all tho nations, wherever they might be, should seek after Him and find Him, thus producing a universal system of worship (Rom. I, 20); that to assist such approach Ho "nan always near to overy Individual; that, In fact, the very llfo of men Is constantly derived from Him, no that without Him they could have no be. Ing (Col. i, 17); that, In short, men are not tho product of nature, but tho off spring, tho children of God, bearing His image, (Gen. I, 26), entitled to communion with Him. (I John, I, 3.) IDOLATRY. In support of tho last thought, that men aro tho offspring of God, Paul quoted from tho Grecian poets. Tho reference Is probably to Aratus, a nattvo of Clllcla, Paul's native province. (Acts xxl, 3U.) Clennthes, who lived about 300 B. C, uses very nearly the same lan guage. Plato, In tho same spirit, de clares that God Is tho "the father of noble children," and Plutarch "that tho soul Is not only made by Him but begotten by Him," which is very near tho Scripture view. (Matt, vl, 9.) Relying upon such authority, which his audience ought to respect, the apostle calls attention to tho folly of Idolatry. He does so, however, In tho gentlest manner, "We ought not to think," ho says, classing himself with tho philosophers, "that the Godhead Is like unto gold, or sliver, or stone." Cer tainly not. Ho would rather be like mitn It men are hU offspring. (Verse 29.) Be. neath his words or between tho lines Is an unuttcrcd suggestion of the God-man. If anywhere He is to bo seen he might) ba expected tn human form rather than In graven Image. (Isaiah xvJ, 0-9.) bristle Is found It should bo removed at once. A slmplo liquid preparation for tho purposo of preserving furs from the depredations of moths can be mado as follows: Into ono pint of warm water drop twelve grains of corrosive subli mate; wash the fur In this liquid, and when quite dry tho fur should be safe from tho moth. Other preventives against moth In furs will be found In camphor, pepper, Bait, cloves, cedar wood shavings nnd borax powder. All furs and heavy woolen gnrments should be put away In drawers or boxes well sprinkled with any of theso condi ments. Important papers, maps, charts and good engravings can be successfully preserved by brushing a very thin coating of India rubber solution over their surface. This Is perfectly trans parent, and If an Important document Is varnished with It. on both sides It will be protected for nn Indefinite peri od against the effects of damp, while the writing will remain clear and un laded. Crickets may bo very charming and poetical llttlo insects when mentioned In story or verse, says an exchange, but they aro also most destructive, as they will nibble woolens or other fab rics quite as dnmaglngly as mice, nnd when ono Is nervous their creaking voices are often tho very reverse from soothing. To secuie freedom from them, put Scotch snuff down their holes nnd Into the corners frequented by them. The practice of wrapping each loaf of bread In oiled papers when It Is taken from tho oven and sealing the knot of tho string holding 'the paper, as is done in a few first-class shops on the other side, is desirable for protecting bread when the loaf has to be handled many times In the process of delivery. The bread Is protected from dust and handling as well as tho possibility of bacilli, nnd tho paper prevents tho moisture In tho bread from escaping and keeps the bread fresh. A large funnel that flts Into tho mouth of preserve jars will be found of great assistance to the housekeeper at this season of canning and preserving. With the aid of this funnel the Jars are easily filled, and there Is no trou blo caused by the fruit being on the outsldo instead of the inside of the Jars. The cleanest nnd best dishwasher Is a round whisk broom mado of tho fin est nnd best broom corn. It is cleaned readily by holding It under tho spigot and and running hot water through it; after which hang It In the air to be dried. This does away with the nn noyance of a discolored and often mus ty dishcloth. In summer salt Is likely to be affected by .the dampness and then become hardened in its receptacles. If a tea spoonful of pulverized arrow root or cornstarch Is mixed with each half dozen teaspoonfuls of salt It will not be affected by the temperature. When one Is hurried In mailing a let ter, and tho only available postage stamp Is found to bo without sufficient glue, moisten the stamp, rub it on the gummed flap of nn envelope, and quick ly press it in place upon the letter. To Itcmovo Grcnse Spots. A mixture which Is excellent for re moving grease spots and stains from carpets and clothing Is made of 2 ounces of white castlle soap, 1 ounce of glycerine and 1 ounce of ether; cut the soap fine, dissolve In ono pint of water over the fire; add two quarts of water. This should be mixed with water In the proportion of a teacupful to one ordinary pailful of water. BIlx thor oughly and wash soiled garments In It. For removing spots use a sponge or clean flannel, and with a dry cloth rub dry as possible. Woolen goods may be made to look brighter and fresher by being sponged with this. Denver Field and Farm. RDPENTANCE.-Havlng set forth tho Deity as tho creator, preserver and ruler of all things, living not in earthly tem ples, neither needing man's gifts, tha fa ther and benefactor of man, having shown that Idolatry was opposed to tho teachings of Greek scholars, Paul called his hearers to abandon their religious practices. (Verses SO and 31.) He pre sents three motives. Idolatry belonged to a tlmo of Ignorance It was tho result of Ignorance which might be forgiven If abandoned. God now (that is in tho day of greater light) commanded all men to repent. A Judgment awaits the world at a tlmo yet future, when Jesus, who had been raised up from the dead, would sit to determine the destinies of men. (Matt. xxv, 31-32.) Past darkness and Ignorance, present light and duty, future awards and punishment 'these aro the threo ar guments, any ono of them sufficient, by which Paul attempted to win tho philo sophers from their Idols to serve the liv ing and tho true God. He had dealt faithfully with those who sought to know his doctrine. RECEPTION. How will these students of great questions receive this address? What will they do? Ono remark, tha resurrection of Jesus, provoked some to mockery. This may havo been by tho Epicureans, who held that "tho soul was nothing without tho body, that both body and soul wero dissolved together and dis sipated into tho elements, and that when ' this was dono all the llfo of man was ended." (I Cor. xv, 3J.) Others, perhaps not more serious, but moro courteous, promised to givo another hearing to Paul, (verses 32 and 33) who departed from among them. The effort was not wholly in vain, however, for some be lieved, how many, no ono knows. Two names only aro given Dlonyslus the Areopoglte, that Is a member of court, and Damarls, a woman of whom nothing moro is known. Eusebus Informs us that Dlonyslus afterward became bishop of tho church at Athens, and that he died a martyr. He Is not mentioned afterward in Scripture. His conversion was an im portant event regardless of his future. CONCLUSION.-Tho philosophers of Greece were representatives of all who In our day assume an attitude of Intellectual hostility to revealed religion. No vlaw Is hoM now which was not held then. Stoicism answers to modern pantheism, tho doc trine that God U all and all Is God. Epi cureanism answers to modern material Ism, the doctrine that thero is not spirit, nothing but a mode of motion. The In scription to tho unknown god represents tha aspirations which, In different forms, express themselves in the religion of the unknowable. Paul's treatment of these errors Is applicable to our times. The great fundamentals of theism must be re affirmed boldly, plainly, courteously, and the scholar must be made to know that these vagaries In religion are not now; that they belong to a time of Ignorance; that wo havo come into a better day; that tho gospel Is now a recognized force; that a risen Christ Is carrying forward His work; that a day of reckoning is near, But, alas, come will mock, others will ask another hearing, and a few will believe, Raedoinni Remarks on Health aand Hygfeee. As tho water' enters largely Into tho plans of summer excursionists, the list of summercnsualtles- naturally presents a large number of cases of drowning. While tho great majority of these cases ato beyond recovery before tho body Is taken from the water, thero aro still many In which artificial respiration, persistently and effectively applied, may restore the pulmonary nnd cardiac action. The Sylvesle method Is the most popular, consisting the patient lying upon his back of alternato contraction and expansion of the chest, by alter nately pressing tho arms upon tho chest and raising them strongly over the head from twelve to fifteen times a minute, nil this of course after tho water in tho air passages has been emptied by gravitation. Tho best au thorities believo that artificial respira tion 'is often too soon discontinued, nnd ndvlse that it be persisted In for from thirty minutes to an hour. It should bo remembered that the body, until the lungs become filled with water, is buoy ant nnd will float, not high up, but still with Its upper surface above water, and tho addition of tho merest trltlo of assistance, such as Is afforded by a small board, not to speak of an oar or larger floating body, will enable the head to keep well out of the waves. If then ono can have self-possession In tho very disconcerting moment of sub mersion, ho may be able to keep him self afloat until aid can arrive, or pos sibly until ho can reach tho shoro un aided. o Chronic lead poisoning results from tho slow absorption of lead. ,Workers In white lead, printers and type founders aro especially liable to be affected. Sometimes It results from using wnter which has passed through lead pipes or has been stored In cisterns lined with lead. Housekeepers should see that the plpesarewellemptled (let the waterrun at least five minutes In the morning) be fore using tho water in the preparation of tha breakfast. To present lead poisoning one must keep clean avoid eating In an atmosphere laden with the dust of tho metal respirators should be used In lead factories. Take a dose of epsom salts, two teaspoonfuls to a glass of water, before breakfast once or twice a week. The chief symptoms of lead poisoning are colicky pains about tho umbilicus in connection with rigid ity and retraction of the abdominal walls; constipation, anaemia, Intense headache, pains In the Joints, a blue line along the gums near the Insertion of the teeth. The curative treatment consists in relieving the constipation by taking epsom salts, taking medicat ed baths and five grains of potassum iodide three times dally. o Tho following exercise is said to be excellent for correcting and straight ening curved shoulders: Take a perfect ly erect position. Place the heels to gether and the toes at an angle of forty five degrees. Drop the arms by the side, Inflating and raising the chest to the full capacity, muscularly, keeping the chin well drawn In and the crown of the head feeling as if it were attached to a cord suspended to the celling above.
