THE LITTLE BROWN PENNY.

A LITTLE brown penny, worn and old, Dropped in the box by a dimpled hand; A little brown penny, a childish prayer, Sent far away to a heathen land.

A little brown penny, a generous thought, A little less candy for just one day; A young heart awakened for life, mayhap, To the needs of the heathen far away.

So far away from the Fount of life, Living, yet dead in their dark despair, Waiting to hear of the tidings of joy, Go, little penny and lisping prayer.

The penny flew off on the prayer's swift wings, It carried the message by Jesus sent, And the gloom was pierced by a radiant light, Wherever the prayer and the message went.

And who can tell of the joy it brought To the souls of the heathen far away, When the darkness fled like wavering mists, From the beautiful dawn of the Christian day?

And who can tell of the blessings that came To the little child, when Christ looked down, Nor how the penny worn and old In heaven will change to a golden crown? —E. F. W.

A GOOD NURSE.

Six things, says a doctor writing on the subject, are necessary to a good nurse: Strong, equable health, sound nerve, minute observation, a retentive memory, habits of neatness and cleanliness, and a calm, collected mind. A nurse must never disregard her health, because it is essential to her own well-being, and because, too, attendants on the sick should always be cheerful and hopeful. Sound nerve is often a matter of training, but its root lies in unselfishness. Anyone who, in an accident or operation, forgets self in the desire to aid others, will not be troubled by trembling or fainting. The faculties of observation and retentiveness of memory can be developed by having interest in the work strong enough to make the nurse careful and patient in her observations. A calm mind is generally the result of organization. If a nurse has arranged her day's work beforehand, if she keeps everything punctually to this arrangement, and if everything needful is neatly disposed, she is not likely to be discovered in bustle and confusion at any time. The nurse should, furthermore, be mindful that she is under the doctor, and should respect and obey his directions even if she differs in opinion with him. It is extremely important that those who are sick and suffering should be treated with unfailing gentleness and patience; nothing can ever excuse a nurse for losing her temper with her patient. No duty is too little or trifling for her attention, and no work that is for the good of the patient can be degrading. It is further a good rule never to approach a case fasting, but always to have a good meal before going on duty.

Health and Temperance.

ADULTERATION OF CANDY.

THIS is from the National Druggist:—

The Board of Trade Journal, of Portland, Me., is authority for the statement that about six thousand tons of terra alba were recently imported through the port of New York alone. The only use for terra alba, in any quantity, is in the adulteration of candies, and when these two facts are put together they become very significant. The substance is mineral, utterly insoluble in the saliva or the gastric juice, and the result of eating candies so adulterated cannot be otherwise than excessively injurious. The devilishness of the use of such stuff in candies is all the greater for the fact that most of the candies that are adulterated with it are used by children of tender years. The extent to which it exists in certain candies may be surmised by an incident which occurred within the experience of the editor of the National Druggist.

A wholesale grocery house of St. Louis made a claim against the South Shore Line for damages done a certain lot of lozenges manufactured by a Boston house and shipped in barrels over that line. The general agent of the line procured some of the lozenges and brought them to the writer for examination. The result of our investigation showed them to consist entirely of terra alba bound together with a little gelatin or gum (we have forgotten which). Further investigation developed the fact that they were simply blocks or forms to be used in preparing cheap lozenges, the method of use being simply to immerse them for a few moments in syrups flavored with peppermint, wintergreen, etc. The agent, armed with these facts, refused to pay any damages, and the concern, rather than risk the exposure incident upon a lawsuit, dropped the claim.

THE VALUE OF SLEEP.

FEW realize the important part sleep plays in all the affairs of life. It soothes the afflicted, rests the weary, and heals the sick. How different the world looks after a good night's slumber! At night, tired, fretful, discouraged, the morning dawns in hope and cheer, if sleep pressed tenderly our eyelids. But many, disregarding all this, never seek repose, but wait for repose to seek them,—even urge them to much-needed rest. Sleep is so precious a thing it must sometimes be wooed ere it is won, especially if it has often been rejected. Many never realize its value until they have sought for it in vain. Robert Collyer, in "Talks to Young Men," speaks forcibly of the value of sleep, and from his well-chosen remarks on this subject, we select the following:—

"Now, let me draw a few simple lessons from this truth I have tried to open. You, young men, must remember that one grand factor in your well-being, and your well-doing, will lie in a good sound sleep. You may think it does not matter; take my word for it—the word of a man who has had to walk through life's rugged ways to his threescore years and three—that it does matter a great deal.

"Your sleep is the hidden treasure of your youth to-day, and to-morrow it will be the margin you will have to draw on for your old age. Do you think you can racket round into the small hours, snatch a brief repose, and then be just as good as ever to hold and bind? It is not true. Many a young man sells his birthright in this way, and cannot have it back again, though he seek it with many tears. Take your honest eight hours' sleep, if you may; there is life in it, and grace. It is one of the good angels which will save you from the temptation to drink, give you an even mind, brighten all your powers, and do many things for you no other power can do.

"So when you get farther on, and are in the thick of the world's business, do not forget what virtue lies in this good habit. You may make more money by sitting up nights, but the chances are you will not keep it; carve out a good business, and then have to quit; or grow eminent in your profession, and then break down. Good-fortune turns greatly on good habits, and this is one of the best. We can go just so far, and then we have to fall back on nature and on God for new power. But if we say, 'I will work double tides,' and so get fevered and out of true with the true laws of success in life, then the day comes when our power turns to something like paralysis.

"Your true business or professional man is the man who rises well rested, with a cool, clear brain, and steady nerve—the man who can shake off business after business hours, go to sleep like a yearling child, and rise like the sun, rejoicing as a strong man to run a race. . . . And it is a great mistake in good men to say this is a shameful waste of time, when it may be, and so often is, the best possible use of time; or that we should be at our work or our prayers while still we need this on which the worth of the work or the prayer is to turn. I say that to sleep one hour more in such a case is better than either to labor or to pray, and may bring us nearer both to God and man."—Selected.

ICE-WATER INJURIOUS.

DR. WM. A. HAMMOND, in the North American Review, writes of the injurious effects of drinking ice-water, as follows:—

“Direct experiment with instruments especially devised for the purpose of measuring the force of the heart’s pulsations, establishes the fact that there is no agent of the materia medica more powerful with some persons as a depressant of this organ than a large draught of ice-water. Under certain circumstances it acts with all the force and rapidity of prussic acid.” Dr. Hammond says much harm comes from the drinking of so-called mineral waters. On this subject he says: “Many deaths of persons have occurred while in the very act of drinking these more than ice-cold liquids, and I am, myself, conversant with numerous cases in which great mental and physical prostration was the result.” In one or two of these instances stubborn facial neuralgia was induced.

“A person who drinks a great deal of ice-water at meals very materially lessens his ability to enjoy the good things of the table, for the sense of taste is greatly impaired when the temperature of the inside of the mouth is reduced many degrees below the normal standard.” And further on he says the effect of ice-water upon the stomach is no less marked, the function of digestion being more or less suspended, confirmed dyspepsia being a necessary consequence; “and this frequently assumes the form of gastric catarrh, than which few disorders are more intractable.” The drinking of ice-water also causes diarrhea, and the doctor says there is some reason to believe that cancer of the stomach is one of its consequences. “I am quite sure that if ice-water should be generally discarded as a drink, the average duration of life would be lengthened, and existence rendered more tolerable.”

The Rise of Cigarette Use

By Chicago Tribune

THERE were over 5,000,000,000 cigars manufactured in the United States in 1886. In 1884 there were a little over 3,000,000,000 made, and in 1880 a little over 2,000,000,000. It is, therefore, safe to assume that the use of this fascinating weed is not on the decrease, and that the anti-tobacco society is not making much headway.—Chicago Tribune.

—The various American schooners recently seized by the Colombian authorities for contravention of the customs laws have been released. Colombia claims that she has the unquestioned right to close her coast ports to foreign trade that is simply running her own traders, who are compelled to pay duties that the direct American traders have hitherto evaded.

This is an enterprise of the Russian Government, for the purpose of developing very rich mineral regions hitherto almost untouched, except by Chinese intruders who reside near the line.

—It is asserted that the European monarchies are endeavoring to throw obstacles in the way of the new republic of Brazil, and to provoke hostilities under pretense of protecting their subjects in that country.

—At the opening of a new Roman Catholic Church, in Bedford, England, to the erection of which a number of Protestants had subscribed, Monsignor Capel remarked that it was right for Catholics to receive such contributions, but that they could not in return give to Protestants, because they believed the fundamental principles of Protestantism to be wrong.

Obituary.

Foos.—Died of paralysis, at Vaughn, Pierce Co., Wash., July 18, 1889, Sister Margaret Foos, aged 88 years and 9 months. Sister Foos has been a Christian for sixty-five years. She embraced the Third Angel's Message in the spring of 1887, and united with the Artondale church. She has ever since rejoiced in the truth. Her daughter with whom she lived says: "She used often to say, 'How glad I am that we heard the Third Angel's Message!' She lived with her Bible in her hands, and read most of the time, and seemed to feed on its pages." Her great desire before she died was to have all her children converted, that they might meet her when the Lord shall come, and spend eternity in the city of God and evergreen fields of the world of light. She sleeps in the Tacoma cemetery, waiting till the Life-giver shall come. ISAAC MORRISON.

CREWS.—Died at the home of his daughter, near Nampa, Idaho, January 25, 1890, Dawson T. Crews. Grandpa Crews, as he was familiarly called by all who knew him, was born in Kentucky in 1810. He removed with his parents to Missouri when a mere boy, where he lived until about twelve years ago, when he came to this coast. His eyesight began failing several years ago, and the last four years of his life he was totally blind; he bore this great affliction with Christian fortitude, often saying that he believed it was for God's glory. He united with the Methodist Church in early life, but about four years ago he became convinced of the truth of the Third Angel's Message, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church; he remained a firm believer in the precious truth unto the end. He spent much of his time in singing and praying. The night before he died the family heard him singing. His favorite song was, "Child, your Father calls, Come home." Two or three days before his death he had a stroke of paralysis. From that time he was entirely helpless, but suffered no pain, passing away almost as gently as if falling asleep. The great burden of his heart was to have his children accept the truth; one daughter and her family are the only ones that have accepted it so far. MRS. D. M. RAGON.

CHRIST IN THE GOSPELS,

—OR—

The Life of our Lord in the Words of the Evangelists,

BY JAMES P. CADMAN, A. M.

Is, as its Name Indicates, a Compilation in which the four Narratives of

THE LIFE OF CHRIST

ARE WOVEN INTO ONE CONNECTED STORY, MAKING A COMPLETE HARMONY OF THE GOSPELS IN THE EXACT LANGUAGE OF THE SCRIPTURES.

THE text is that of the Revised Version, and while every word in the four Gospels appears, the work is so arranged that the reader can tell at a glance the words used in each Gospel. Those who have tried to gather all the facts concerning some miracle, or other event, and at the same time properly locate and credit the various parts of the narrative, will appreciate this book, which is the very best of its kind and gives evidence of an immense amount of careful and painstaking labor.

The book is fully indexed so that any text or subject can be readily found; and the maps, notes, and diagrams which it contains are alone well worth the price of the volume. The following partial (less than half) TABLE OF CONTENTS will give an idea of the scope of the work:—

Index to chapter and verses; Life of Our Lord (333 pages); Index of persons, places, and subjects, with dictionary of proper names; Explanation of maps and diagrams; Map of the pathway of Jesus; Diagrams illustrating the principal events of crucifixion week.

This work is invaluable, and all who love the Bible should have a copy. It contains 394 pages, is well printed on good paper, and is neatly and substantially bound in cloth.
