CrnahinK n Oorp. John G. Whittier, the Quaker poet, once in describing the usages of the Quakers in regard to "speaking in , meetings” said that sometimes the vol untnry remarks were not quite to the I edification of the meeting. It onee liapj pened that a certain George I', grew rather wearisome In his exhortations, and ills prudent brethren, after solemn consultation, passed the following resolution: "It is the sense of tills meeting that George C. be advised to remain ; silent until stteli time ns the Lord shall speak through him more to our satis- ; faction and profit." The Throat and Tonsils. A simple gargle for a sore throat may be made by adding fifteen drops of refined carbolic acid to a quart of water. Remember to shake thorough ly before using otherwise it will lie useless and gargle four or five times a day. In case of swollen tonsils a tea spoonful of powdered tannin dissolved In a tumbler of water forms an excellent gargle, which should be used ev cry two hours. A gargle of perman ganate of potash, not too strong. Is al so excellent for use in cases of mild sore throat. All About Metaphysics. A Scotchman thus defines metaphysIcs: "When a mon wlin' kens naetl.ing ■ aboot any subject takes a subject that ! nae mon kens anything a boot and explains it to anltlier mon still more Ig norant than himself-that's metapliys les.’’—Lye.

Wight Air. One of the buglwars of old time people is night air, and there is little exaggeration in saying that the superstition against night air has killed more people than the free circulation of it lias over injured There is abundance of proof that night air Is injurious to no one. On the contrary, people who sleep outdoors under the mire protection of a tent are the healthiest of all people, anil the practice lias largely gainisl in popularity of late years under wider knowledge of hygiene for people In delicate health to go in camping parties and breathe the balsam of the night air. The vigor gained from a few weeks of such an outing is u marked proof that the old prejudice against night air is as foolish as most other old wives' whims.-Exchange. Talent mid \oeu(lon. Each man lias Ids own vocation. The talent is the cnll. There is one direction in wfiiicii all space is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exertion. He is like a ship in a river. He runs against obstructions on every side but one. On that side nil obstruction Is taken away, and he sweeps serenely over God's depths Into an infinite sou.
