If we compare domestic life and manners In England with those of other countries where meat, does not form such an in tegral article of diet, notable Improve ment will be remarked. In less meat eating France urbanity la the rule of the home; In fish and rice cnttng Japan harsh words are unknown, and an ex quisite politeness to one another pre vails ern among the children who piny together m the streets. In Japan I never henrd rude, nngry words spoken by any but Englishmen.

"Tlint he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will ot (1ml. " Or as In Rom. vl., 11, "Dead Indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord." The saved .Inner Is n new creature or crentlnn In Christ, old things passed away, nil things new, nnd he Is supposed to hnve left in the grave of his bnptlsm Into Christ nil the self life, with Ita alma nnd desires, ami henceforth ever to walk in newness of life (Itoin. vl., S, 41. 8. "for the time past of bur lite may mi 111 no us to hnve wrought the will of tlio f (entiles, when we walked In Inselrlousnoss, lists, excess of wine, reveling", bnnipiet Ings nnd nhomlnnble Idolatries," That is tho life of many a cltlaen of this world to day, Just liviug to fulfill the desires of the llesh nntl of the mind (Kph. II. 1 8), with no thought of lloil or ot a future life. That, howover, is not the writer's point here, but nither tlint those who bear the nnino ot Christ nre ofttlmes guilty ot living thut inme old life In sometneiisure, to their own loss and to the grent dishonor ot i 1 1 111 Whose benutltnl name they beitr. 4. "Wherein they think It HtniP.o flint ye run not with them to the sumo excess of riot, spenklng evil of you." Iu our day It Is not only the people of this world who think It strange that their wives or hus bands, or brothers or sisters, will not fre quent the theatre and tho ballroom 00 tnoro since they have received Christ, but many whose unities are on the chufcli registers nnd V7ho nre seen at the com munion table and yet continue in this obi godless life nre hitrder to put up with in their eruol wurds nnd conduct toward thoso who will walk no longer with them In their worhlllness. 8. "Who shall give account to Him tlint Is ready to judge the uulck nnd the (lend." As we found In -the Acts, there shall be a resurrection both ot the just and the 1111- Iust, but not nt tho same time. There shall ten Judgment nlso of living nnd dead, just nnd unjust, but not nil at tho same trine. It we nre Christ's our judgment for sin Is past nt Calvary, where He suffered for our Ins, but all who are His must appear before His Judgment sent, to be judged for their works since they received Him (Horn, xlv., 10; II Cor. v., 10). After that we will come with Him to judge the living nations for their trontment cl Israel (Math, xxv., 81). At the end ot the thousand years all the unsaved will appenr before the white throne ere they are sent Into the hike of lire to hare their portion with the devil and his angels (ltev. i 11-18). It people bnd any (nlth at all In Ood and His word, one would suppose that tho stnteinent, "Ood shall bring every work Into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil" (Ecal. xll., 14), would lead them to consider their ways, and if Christians believed what Is written tn I Cor. 111., 14, 18, they would surely mend their wwys and quit their worldltness, lest they bo saved as by Uro, much to their liuinn. 6. "For, for this cause wns the gospel preached also to.thom that tiro dead that they might be judged according to men iu tho llesh, but live according to God In the Hplrlt." Tho best light I have upon chap ter III., IU, is tlint found In ohnpter I., 11, which, If I understand It, tenches that the same Hplrlt who was In Christ waa also iu Nonh, as well as in all the profits, and through him preached to the antedilu vians, who, In the dnys ot Christ's humili ation were spirits la prison. May they not be the dead here referred to who, when they wore alive, hnd the gospol preached to them, sotno of whom must have believed during those 1'iO years', but possibly died before the deluge? I confess that the waters are deep hero, but some day we hall know more fully. T. "But the end of all things Is at band. Be ye therefore sober and watch unto prayer." In view of the possibility of our sojourn In these mortal bodies ending any day, or the possibility of the wholo ohureh being caught up any day, what manner of persons ought we to be in all holy convor sation and godliness? Whatever gifts or graces God has bestowed upon us, let us minister tbe same one to another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God (verse 10). Let us not think trinls strange, but endure all meekly, counting them a privilege, and, even If we suffer for doing well, God will be well pleased if wo take it meekly (chapter 11. , 20). 8. "And, above all things, have fervent love among yourselves, for love shall oover a multitude of sins." Humility before God (chapter v., 5, 6) and love to our fellows must be very pleasing tn the sight of God, for both are so CLrlstllke. Though He was rich (how rich we oannot Imagine), yet for oursukes He became poor that thus He might make us rich, and It was His love to us when we were dead in sins that did It ths love that shed His blood for ui, that blood which alone oaa take awaysins. This is tbe love that covers sias, and if we have any love to Him worth mentioning we will not worry much over chapter III., 19, or It., 6, but Just hold fast and wait for light and live to get souls under the blood whiou slaanseth trom all sin Lesson Helper.

Itarefled air lias been found byllerr Levinstein to prolines strong fatty de generation of heart, liver and muscles, with death through tlellctoucy of oxygen. It is proposed to erect a table'.

It lias been ascertained that the pith of the sunflower is the lightest solid known, its specific gravity beingO.028, while that ef elder pith hitherto re garded as the lightest substance, is 0.09. Cork is 0.24. That certain beetles are by no means frightened by lead foil has long been recognized, lint it is rather discourag ing to add one more to the number of these culprits. Ed. Stichof Nattheim, reports that a box somewhat worm eaten was lined with lead. After awhiln holes one-eighth of an inch in diameter, and distinctly spiral, were noticed, and troced to the beetle Tetropium luridnin, Linn., which was not yet on the list of lead eaters, or rnther lead destroyers, A consin of this insect hns been known to be de structive to lead chambers.

' The most important feature of the present Anglo-Egyptian expeditnm against the Mnhdi in the successful sinking of wells in the desert between Wady-Halfa aud Alm-Hamed. The presence of water at such a distance from the Kile hns never been suspected, either by Europeans or natives, and bids fair to revolutionize not only the desert tribes, but the entire conditions uf desert life. Indeed, tho problem of converting the great African des erts into fertile territory seems to be at length in a fair way toward solution, not by means of letting in the sea, as proposed by Count de Lesseps, but by the'sinking of wells. Water is evi dently to be found everywhere in the African deserts, provided one digs deep enough. flerm of Cancer Iilarnvereil. A young French physician claims to have discovered the germ that causes cancer, aud lie declares that he can inoculate a human being with the dis ease and produce a true cancer in a short space of time. His discovery hns attracted a great deal of interest among medical men abroad, nnd exper iments are now being conducted with a view of determining the truth of the uew theory. The physician who has made this startling discovery is Leon Noel. The thesis which he wrote in order to receive his diploma contained the first intimation of his new ideas, and that thesis has made him famous. He Bays be noticed that cancer was more com mon among people who lived in thickly wooded sections of the country, and that it seldom appeared in cities and on high plateaus. He pursued his in vestigations and now states that the cancer germ may be found in certain trees and shrttbs. Tbe boil-like ex crescences noticed on trees, Dr. Noel says, are nothing less than vegetable cancers and contain the germs with which he has inoculated animals and caused cancerous growths to appear. If further investigations prove that Dr. Noel is right in his deductions it will donbtless be possible to vaccinate for cancer and thus render persons im mune, as is done against small-pox. The Ink Harlllna. An interesting discovery was recent ly made at Leipzig, namely, the ink ba cillus, as it has been named. It has often happened that dangerous blood poisoning has been caused by wound ing one's self with an inky steel pen. In Professor Marpman'a bacteriologi cal institnte they have succeeded in finding the micro-organism in ink which excites the blood. It has been ascertained that many inks, particu larly school - inks, contain bacteria. Out of fifty-seven different kinds most of them made with gall the ma jority contained bacteria. Hchool inks colored with an aniline dye, even though the bottle had only just been opened, contained the micro-organisms already mentioned, and the number of bacilli was the greater the longer the ink had been exposed to the air. From such an aniline ink, which had been in an open inkstand for three months, a specitio bacillus was iso lated and mice were inoculated with it. After four days, they died oi blood poisoning. The fact that gall apple inks get covered with mold is a very old fact indeed now the ink bacillus is known. Fever la riant.. It appears from some enrious experi ments made by H. M. lticbards that when plants are wonnded their respir ation increases,- and at the same time their temperature perceptibly rises, as if a kind of fever had been produced by the wound. A thermo-electric ap paratus, capable of registering , a change of one-four-hnndredtb of a degree, was employed. , When a pota to was wounded the fever manifested itself by an elevation of temperature, which waa greatest at the end ot twenty-four hours, when it began slowly i decline. An onion similarly treated acquired oil iuorea-'ie of temperature many times greater thau thut shown by the potato, and tho fever, instead of being confined to the neighborhood of the wound, affected the entire onion. In fact, the onion proved to be more readily affected in this way than any other vegetable experimented with. The rise of temperature is caused by increased absorption of oxygen, No. 203.

"A shoemaker makes a good shoe be cause ho makes nothing else," says Emerson, and the Idea may be taken up with advantage In almost any line of business. A merchant tailor In town of 00,000 population made sormj cassocks for a few local priests. Now he Is advertising himself In the Cath olic papers and by circulars to the cler gy 'of that church as a "cassock-maker," and sends hundreds of these gar ments all over the United States, and Is kept busy the year round. At home he Is simply a merchant tailor, doing a good business, while his out-of-town customers know him only as a man whose particular business Is making cassocks, and who, making a specialty of this feature, Is enabled to supply n better cassock and at a lower price than they can get elsewhere.
