' jecomlary fall of blood-pressuro is more persistent, and more dpp'Mident on tho duration of the muscular movements and tho siao and number of Ibo muscles used, than is the primary increase of blood-prossure. 2. The respirations must be deeixjned but not hurried, for quick, irregular, and im|)€rfect respiratory movonionts lessen tlio varia­ tions in intra-thoracic pressure, impede the venous sud lymphatic circulations. 3. The exorcise must be graduated. Massage ami resistance gymnastics ire the most gentle forms of exercise, and should be first usml in all ca.scs. nill*cUmbing is not tdapted to cases of very considerable weakness and dilatation, and all exercise must bo stopped when- erer iho heart is felt to thump or the breathing to ihorten. The best results are obtained in cases of dilatation, which are duo to high artl rial pressure or phydctl exertion, in which there is no, or trifling, degeneration. The writer believes th a t resistance gymnastics and massage arc adapted to convales­ cence from acute endocarditis, whisther from rheumatism or other infection; but tho patient ihould Ih) kept in bed two weeks after tho actual iofection. which causes tho endocarditis, is over. During Iho latter half of this time the most geiitla masjiago or resisUnco exercise will greatly help promptly to effect compensation.


THE ORANGE AND THE ONION. There certainly U a considerable difference both


In ap|)earance, in psrfume, and in flavour between khe urangu and the onion, a differooce we could discover with our eyes shut. 1 havo often spoken iu praise of the onion, but it needs a f iirly good digestion to make tho most of i t. Some who mnoot **8temach” EngUsli, or tho still stronger Scottish onion, would get about as much benefit If, as a regular article of diet in season, they used the Spanish onion. I do most sinfully envy tho DiTrr who can make a hearty meal of broad and ohwse with raw onions, tho whole washe<l down with a pint of good English beer. The orange, on the other hand, is moro adapted to tho digestions of the upper or middle classes. I lm<! a letter only last vffk from a man who had long boon a sufferer horn cousUpatiOD, and who says h6 haa produced sstural stools from using oranges, two or threo mry day, with breakfast and dinnor. I don’t JioJd «p the orango or onion cither as a panacea, h ut tho Utter is a most healthful and hoaUh*giving vego- Ubie, and the former is one of tho best fruits wo posses.^. Luckily tliey arc cheap in this country, though sometimes cheap and nasty. Sour oranges or very lhick-skinne<l ones arc of Uitlo uso in tho saiinal economy, and often do harm instead of pood, ik'gin if you mean to make an experience with one nice largo orange with hro.akfast, dinnor, ID(1 supper, .and after a fortnight or so you may Uke two. Mind, It it with tho meal tlmy should be eaten, and not on an ompty or lialf^empty itom&cb.

^ Sailors when they arri\-o homo from a trip m the Pacific often tell their relatives that they found one place where it is always Eas­ ter. Tho irutccent relatives fall into the trap and ask for the name of the locality in question, only td receive as a reply “Easter Island.” As a matter c f fact,- there are not many places where fewer associations of Easter could be found, and the reason iti gets its strange name is generally supposed to be due to tho circumstaiKe that it was discoveretl on Easter Sunday. ^ he island itself is full of interest, and travellers look ujx)n it as by far iho most


attractive island in the Pacific— which is. mdeeil, liigh praisa - It is famous for posl sessing hundreds of lli;^ most remarkable Ullages to be found anywhere in the world, which ceruunly were not formed by nature Wlicn thcst3 wonderful sculjitures were first discovered,_ they greatly puzzled learned nien.

EIGH T MONTHS TO READ THE BIBLE.


Thcrej are in the Old ai>J New 'I'estamenlvs


combined a total of 66 books, containing 1,189 chapters, 31.173 verses, and a latal ul 773>(J92 words, approximately. The Old Testament contains 39 books, 929 chap­ ters, 23,21^ verses, and approximately 592,.139 words; while in the New Testa­ ment there are 27 books’ 260 chapters, 7,959 verses aixl 181,253 words approxim­ ately. Adrling these together, we get the total given. Henv long will it take a jx;rson to read the Old T'estament with its 592,435- W(.rds, or the 181,253 words of the New Testament? And how long to read the 773,692 words of both? A man can read uiiderstandingiy 100 words ever)* minute. By hurrying a man can read 160' words, or probably more. I will as.sume iliat a man can read criiictUJy, that is, carefully and un- dirsuindingly, at lease 60 words a minute. Tlial is slow reading, being only 3,600 words ail hour. Suppose a man should de- vuttfoii hour a day to the Bible.^ At this rate he would rea<l 108,000 words in 30 days or in a mouth’s time. At the same rate hes would read the Old Testament in less than .six months; and he could linish the New Testament: in less than two menths.

Maland, of Blackbuni, \vho< will h.avc the supervision, of the Re\*. W. Browni, the successor of the Rev. f. Han­ cock in the pastorate of the chnrck. In the afternoon thiite' was .a choral ser­ vice by the children^ admirably trained by


Mr. D. M. Roberts, who'is always entbnsi.as- tic in this work, and who himself wieJded tho baton: The singing was hearty and well 3-pprecia(ed by thoise present.


In, the evening Mr. Maland preached from


.shall I know even as also I am known,” He beg.an by a_ passing reference to the word glass. To wliat the apostle referred to


the text toi be found ini I. Cdr. XIII 12 • Now I see through a glass darkly, but then now I know in jiart, bud then


he could not say. Some authorities said it w.as to an ancient metallic substauce used for tho same purpose as a mirror tx>-da.y, otters that itwa.s of a iTansp.arent charactier. However, the principle of the text wa.s


quite patent It was that the truth wa.s veiy imperfectly apprehended by us. The early church was troubled by a text tliat had a rational e.\pIanation to almost everj*- thing; the modern church wa.s troubled by agnosticaJ people. Thu cnly jxisition we could take was that we knew semething but not eveiything. I f it had been our fortune to Ihle e.arly last centuiy and somebody had told u-S c f the wonderfuf genius of some men c f to-day one should Itave smiled, yea scometl and said they were showing marked symptoms of nil.'ntal decay. 'I’nith had been given lo ns'and with all our apprehen­ sion wc had t0‘ admit that we saw tlirough the glass darkly.


By w.ay of illustraticn Mr.. Maland .said


take a book of aslroncmy. .After reading it what did he know of the sun.’ He was tolrl to' study atoms but now tlil;y were consumed by the mystery of radium. He did not know wh.at either is, or matter, far energ}'. One might l.alk about ‘die energy Viy which he moved his fingers, or hy which the lily greie; they knew it was .a mighty force bill, the)" did not know what it wa,s. He did not knew what imaginjuioit- was, or memoiy, but lie had both. And so when he came tcl talk about the


spirit he had to say. “ I see as through a glass darkly.” Again when he c.ome t<a talk .about God he h.ad great faith in God aixl God transcended all Uis delinllion.s. His religious life and hope transcended all his ixvwer of dlescriiilion and he was Sony I’tr t te mail' whose religiou.s experience was not .above wliat he could describe. He pitie.l the iieligious cliaracter. who h.ad never scaliTl the heights far beyond himself, who ha/.l never felt the sorrows c f man. and shared the griefs of others- Ho kn!;w that such a 01m had' not ted much religious cxi>erience. On the other hand if he could describe the flcl- ing t e had felt it was not veiy deei>. The case set forth in ihl; hook was ih.at we could apiirehcnd .something. JfChri.st’s


disciples, hatl been less materialistic and centred attl.-iiticn more on the interval r.ather than the external life they would in. all jirob- ability have had m.any a revehation marie, to them tliat they wen; nut iirejiared lo receive and iherefoiti did not get. Only the pre­ pared man could receive Inith and the truth, however beautiful and woivler-wr.i'king, only came to those wIic v.ere lit rece]>taclesl fer it. T h e liighcst ambition, a mair o.nild haSo


was to knoiv truth. They ciiuld not lin.l God by tele-scopi; or microscope. God transcended that. He was higher tiimn tlx; lulls, sweeter than the rose, clearer (ten any liguru one might u.se. He recogni.serl i te t there was.semething in nature becauso there was lo a limited extent intelligcnch. There were principles one could sek in proportion.

'J'he fourth Duke was beheaded by Qiieun iilizabeth. His eldest son was .also senteixxxl to de,ath, but was reprieved and died, “not without suspicion of iwison,” a prisoner in the 'I’owcr.

merchant tailor. The modem Earl of Warwick i.s not des-

mouth, Radnor, Ducie and I’omfret were rcs[A2ctive]y £t skinner, a silk maiwtacturcr, merchant tailor, and a Calais mcrcliaiit, whilst the founders of tho peerages of Tanv kerv’dlo. Dormer, and Cownlry were mer

an inn, and there an affable 111:111 <.f business


was refreshing himself and chaliiivg «ith the proprietor. “Yes,” he said; “according toi u>-dav’s


l>aper a nieteor ha.s been ob.serveil. which,’ is approaching the e.artli at_ die- rare of 30,000,000 miles a day.”


in this ili.slricl i.s A writer oit “Irish Bulls” in “Pearson’s


Magazirie,” to show that tho English aret by no means innocent'cf blunders in the’ir speech, gives soma “English Irish Bulls.” Firstly,' tteffli, the magnificent outbur^ of


the Hyde Park orator (ol^ surely^^ he had Irish' blood in h’ls veins 1), who, in declaim ing against landlords and capitalists, wound up with the following words:— “I f these men were landed dm an uninhabited island,' they wouldn’t be there half an heiur before they would have their-hands in tho p'oekets of the naked savages 1” And again: “ All along the untrodden paths of the future wo can .-iJe the hidden footprints of an unseen hand!” Amongst the bulls that is surely a gem.


So also are the following:— 'This one fronj .a preacher; “We pursue the shadovv, the bub­ ble bursts, it leaves the ashes in our hands.” It soiuids veiy' like a conjuring trick. The second is from a politician: “We shall rfeven re.st until we see the British lion walking hand-in-hand with tbs flood-gates 'of demo cracy.” It is only fair tcl the speaker to admit th.at


tho following example of his eloquence^ was the outcome of his being .shamele.ssly bad- gfcred and hustled during the w-hole of hi.s attempt to addretss a meeting on behalf of an umxspulctr candidate:— “ Gentlemen,” he cried at last, “the cry' of the cat, the crow of the cock, and t te hiss of the gander aro not argument. Tnie, they may for a- time overwhelm tho feebl/e voice of one man in their ro.oring tide, but noc all their leagued forces, howsoever annfctl anti ar­ rayed for combat, shall avail to extinguish that beacon torch of experience,stilI gripped fast and held high in his unfalfcrihg hand, to guide safely through the breakers and .straining eyes of posterity!” Question How many bulls to each bre.ath are contained in that effort?


MTNE IX TH E BIBLE. It was a .village cricket match, and thb


umpire, a portly and pompous villager, after giving the first visiting batsman his° middle”


stood well back behind the boivler, in a di­ rect .line with the boivlrer’s amrand tho bats- man.


_ He was ixilitely yet firmly asked by the batsman to move to cne side, and he siome- what grudgingly did so. Just as the bowler was about to send the ball doin^ however, the umpire slipped back to his old position in orcler, as he subsequently explained, that h'e might clearly see if there was a case cf Ibw.
