It costs the giver nothing, bat it is be yond price to the erring and relenting, the sad and cheerless, the lost and for saken. It disarms malic*, subdues tem. per, turns hatred into love, revenge in to kindness and paves the darkest paths with gems of sunlight. A smile on the brow betrays a kind heart, a pleasant friend, an affectionate brother, a duti ful son, a happy husband. It adds charm to beauty, decorates the face of the deformed and make; a woman re semble an angel.—Ex. —ln a medical article in one of the magazines for this month the writer tells of relieving a man of too much water on the brain by tapping him at the lower end of the backbone—the theory or fact being that the brain and spinal chord are connected and sur rounded by a continuous cover or mem brane, between which and the brain and cord a certain amount of fluid is necessary and natural.
