St. Pnnl'a. "It Is curious," says tlie London Chronicle, “how St. Paul's, although the first enthedral church in Englund that was built actually for the observance of the Anglican ritual, manages nevertheless to retain something of a foreign and a Catholic nature tn the way it offers shelter to the tired passerby. Apart from the restless groups of sightseers, there are always plenty of people there who have gone in solely for the sake of Its wonderful peace and quiet. "They xvould have found neither, by the way, In old St. Paul's of the fifteenth century, for while mass was being said In one chapel, a funeral service in another, and so on. all sorts of commerce was carried on in the middle aisle, from the hiring of servants to the transaction of legal business. "We have altered all thet nowadays, and SI. Paul's is the quietest spot in the noisiest city In the world.” Hla Half.

GOOD FKOM DISEASE several affections that have THEIR COMPILATIONS. An ittack of Smallpox, if You Get Over It. Will Add Yearn to Yonr l ife •—SnfFvrcrn From Rheumatism and Gout Are Lonff Lived, Have you had smallpox? If you have and you have recovered from the terrible disease without your eyesight or hearing being seriously affected, as is very often the case, you may congratulate yourself that smallpox attacked you. for you will probably, barring accidents, live considerably longer and enjoy better general health than if you had never had the disease. It Is a remarkable fact—one of nature's peculiar compensations — that people who have suffered from smallpox generally live longer than people who have not. Why this should be the case there is only an unproved theory to explain, and the theory is that the microbes which go to make smallpox, being very powerful and pugnacious, swallow up the microbes of many other diseases which they find in the systems of the persons they attack; hence, by contracting smallpox severely, you stand a good cbanee of eliminating from your system other diseases which would seize upon you at some time or other aud, likely enough, prove fatal. At the same time it must be admitted that smallpox is not scheduled as a preventive medicine, and the number of persons it either kills, maims or inflicts with mental incapacities is probably greater than the number of persons whose lives it prolongs. At the same time it is a fact that the disease, though one of the most terrible known to medical science, does you a great deal of good if you are capable of throwing it off without suffering after effects of a more serious character tbau being pitted with the queet; little marks It almost invariably leaves behind to distinguish its victims. Numbers of elderly persons in more or less feeble health are kept alive by coughs, such, for instance, as bronchitis. Chronic coughs are peculiarly common to old people, and hundreds who complain of the distress caused them by such affections are really indebted to their coughs for their length of life. The reason of this is that most elderly persons suffer with weak hearts and feeble circulation of the blood, and weak hearts become weaker merely as a result of their weakness. A constant cough corrects this, keeps the heart beating more strongly than it otherwise would, and the strong heart beat keeps the blood circulating more quickly, and the vital organs are thus kept in a state of activity which could only be maintained by artificial means and for a limited time but for the troublesome cough. Moreover, the constant reminders given by the cough deter the sufferers from running risks of catching colds. In other words, they have to study their health or suffer, more acutely from their coughs, and, choosing the former, they benefit accordingly. Gout amt rheumatism are exceedingly painful diseases and of course in some cases prove fatal, but they confer many a blessing upon mankind, and rheumatism particularly is well known to doctors as a preventive of many other diseases. It Is a notorious fact that gouty subjects generally live to a ripe age, and albeit they suffer very severely at times they generally enjoy excellent general health, the very causes ot the gout .keeping their blood in good condition and making it unendurable to many kinds of microbeiL Cases have occurred ot whole households. except one member, being stricken down with infectious diseases, and the lucky exception lias been a suffered from rheumatism or gout, which alone has prevented him from contracting the diseases which have run through the house. Such sufferers do not run half the risk of catching the common illnesses that nonsufferers run. and a large proportion of the people who reach ages of fourscore years are people who for years have suffered from gout or rheumatism, to which fact they undoubtedly owe many of the years they have lived over the allotted span. Take half a dozen persons over the nge of seventy who suffer from rheumatism or gout and half a dozen others who suffer from neither and you will find that, except for their rheumatism or gout, they enjoy very much better health than the uonsufferers and stand a splendid chance of omliving the latter. Moreover, gout and rheumatism greatly enhance a sufferer's chances of retaining his mental faculties until the end. A large percentage of centenarians who died with all their wits about them aud with excellent memories of the days, of their youth have suffered for many years from rheumatism and been particularly free from other diseases. The loss of n leg or an arm Is also said to do you good In the long run. Perhaps that, is an awkward phrase to apply to the loss of n leg. but let it stand. It certainly seems that when a mnn is deprived of a leg or nn nrm the vitality nnd vigor of the lost member remain with him to increase the vitality of the remainder. It has been declared by an eminent authority that when a man has a leg cut off. he being in stithclently good health not to collapse from Hie operation. adds two or three, sometimes more, years on to bis hitter dnys.— Pearson's Weekly. riylnu t’red let lona. In 1273 Friar Bacon predicted thnt flying would “shortly” become a general practice, mid Bishop Wilkins In 1052 said, "It will yet lie ns usual to hear a man call for his wings when he is going on a journey ns It is yow to hear him call for his boots.”

Tlic OriK'innl Squecrn. The grossest bijury which Dickens ever intl'cted on' a fellow being was bis too accurate portrait of an innocent man In his Squeers. That Yorkshire schoolmasters were, as n rule, cruel and wicked enough it is true, but | the particular schoolmaster wiio was recognized and who recognized himself as the original Squeers seems to have been an exception to the rule. It will be remembered that Dickens mid liis illustrator traveled together to the north of Enghdid for the purpose of collecting material for ‘'Nickleby” and especially for the Dotheboys episode. »At Great Bridge they visited a boarding school known as Bowes academy. The master, William Shaw, received the strangers witli some hauteur and did not as much as | xvithdraw bis eyes from the operation »f penmaking during the interview. Phiz sketched him in the act; Boz described the act. The personal peculiarities of William Shaw were recognized in Squeers. Shaw became a butt of popular ridicule, lost his pupils and finally died of a broken heart. Yet there is abundant evidence to prove tiiat lie was a really excellent and kind hearted man, who was made to suffer for tlie misdeeds ot his neighbors.— Literary Era. Anlw find Mniciietlsm. That, ants doctor their sick by hypnotism and magnetism is proved by observation. An ardent stmieut tells how he witnessed xvliat may be termed a seance in medical science among ants. He saw several of these little creatures emerge from the hill and noticed that there xvere some among them which xvere weak and emaciated—invalids, in fact. They' were accompanied by healthy members of the community, nnd all made their way toward a dis-•■-mt mound. On following their movements through a glass the observer saw on this mound a big and sturdy ant, which made some motions in the direction of the advancing invalids. The latter went up the mound, one by one. and submitted themselves to treatment. This consisted in the physician ant passing bis feelers over the head and body of the patient in a manner distinctly suggestive of tlie hypnotizing of nerves and muscles practiced by human doctors. Every one went through the treatment; then the patients went back, and the doctor marched off in tlie opposite direction. Sealskin Doesn’t Come From Seals. The beautiful product used for clothing and commonly known as sealskin is not furnished by the true seal, whose skin is almost useless except when used as an ornamental mat or stiff rug. They are the sea lions and sea bears—the eared seals, otaria—whose skins are so highly valued because so soft and warm. Tlie true seal is common enough, but its skin is only prized as a trophy, and it may be added that sealskin when ready for clothing has not, as often supposed, the same downy appearance on the living animal, being covered with long, coarse, deep rooted hairs, which drop out when dressed by the furrier and leave tlie soft, xvoolly hair uninjured. Where the Difference I.leM. “Wherein lies the difference between photography and courtship?” he asked softly. “1 don't know,” she replied. “In photography.” lie explained, “the negative is developed in the dark room, while in courtship that is where the affirmative is developed.” She blushed, but made no answer. “Let us.” be suggested, "proceed to develop an affirmative.” There being no objections, it was so ordered.—< 'l<icago Bost. On the Farm. “Father. I am fired with ambition since 1 came home from college. I want a broad field for action, where I can accomplish something.” “Weil, my boy, there is the forty acre lot. xvliich is a rather broad field. You might try a little action in that with a plow and a pair of horses, and if you stick tn it you can accomplish something.”—New York Ilei lu. l-'ntherle»N Children In .lupnn. Japan has onlj one orphanage, yet in no oilier laud are father!)ss elilldren better cared for. Every family cares for the sick, destitute or orphans nearest to it.
