Trees and Health. It haw been noted that the first set* tiers in heavily wooded sections of the country have generally been healthy, despite their many privations. The reason for this is that the trees and plants -of all kinds possess the power of absorbing poisoned air from decay ing vegetation, besides which the emanations from evergreens and the smoke from burning resinous woods are noted for the relief they give to those suffering from pulmonary dis - oases. New heavily wooded countries, as already noted, are the most healthy for settlers, and they continue so for some years, as only a small portion of the forest can be cleared away each year. After the forest is iemoved and sunlight is admitted, the soil fills rapidly with vegetable mold, which decomposes more rapidly than it cltu be absorbed by the scant vegetation, and as a result the atmosphere is ren dered impure and malafia becomes a common complaint. In-view of these facts, people are beginning to under stand the value of trees as disease-ab sorbing and health-giving agents. Naturally this leads to the questien as to what trees are best for protection against disease. On Long Island and in New Jersey there are localities surrounded and hemmed in with- pitch pines, which are famed for their curative qualities in consumption, and the pines are thus indicated as valuable surround ings in pulmonary complaints. It would seem reasonable to suppose that trees having the largest leaves and the most of them would be the best for this purpose, as such trees would un doubtedly have the most absorbing . power. We have seen the eucalyptas tree, mentioned as of special value, as a purifier of the atmosphere. -Hall's Joirnal of Health. Rode a Horse a Thousand Miles. An interesting test of the endurauce of the native Western horse for r.av airy service was made this mionth by Lieutenant Cornelius C. Smiti, of Troop H, Second United States Cav airy, says the Washington Star. Lieu tenant Smith has numierons friends and several relatives in Washington to whom the feat he has performed is as well a matter of pride as it is of in terest. Starting from Fort Wingate April 10 be set out to ride 1035 miles to San Antonio, Texas, in one month's time. The horse was part Spanish in treeding, weighing 998 pounds. The journey was a rough one, over moun tain anddesert, with little subsistence in placas except the wild grassee. Be ing an old plainsman, an athlete, a fine equesti-ian and up in Indian languages and signs,. Lieutenant Smith was well fitted to undertake. such a test. He reached San Antonio May 6. The horse looked well and had lost but fifty-four pounde. A Thriling Paragraph.

Hermes, Philologus and Julia."-Romans xvi., 14. 15. MNatthew Henry. Albert Barnes. Adam Clhrk. Thomas Scott and all the commenta tors pass bv these verses without any especial remark. The other twenty people mentioned in the ebapter were distinguished for some thing and were therefore discussed by the illustrious expositors, but nothing is said about Asyncril us. Phlegon. Hermas, Patro bas, Hermes, Philologus and Julia. Where were they born? No one knows. Where did they dic? There isno record of their decease. For what were they distinguished? Abso lutely for nothina. or the trait of character would have been brought out by the apostle. If they had been very intrepid or opulent or hirsute or musical of eadence or crass of style or in anywise anomalous, that feature would have been caught by the apostolic camera. But they were goo.l people. because Paul sent to them his high Christian regards. They were ordinary people, moving in ordi Rary snhere, attending to ordinary duty and meetin_ orlinary responsibilities. What th' world wants is a religion for ordinarv :ople. If there be in the United States 65.010.00) people, there are certainly not more than 1.000,000 extraordinary, and then there are 64.001.010 ordinary, and we do well to Iurn our backs for a little while upon the distinguished and conspicuous pecple of the Bible anl consider in our text the seven ordinary. We spend too much of our time in twisting garlands for remarkables and building thrones for magnates and sculptur ing warriors and apotheosizing philanth ropists. The rank and file of the Lord's soldiery need especial help. The vast majority of people to whom this sermon comes will never lea I an army, will never write a State constitution, will never electrify a Senate, will never make an im. portant invention. will never introduce a new philosophy, will never decide th fate of a Nation. You do not ex pect to; you do not want to. You will not be a Moses to lead a Nation out of bondage. You wilt not be a Joshua to prolong the day light until you can shut five kings in a cav ern. You will not be a St. John to unroll an apocalypse. You will not be a Paul to pre side over an apostolic college. You wil not be a Mary to mother a Christ. You will more probably be Asyncritus or Phlegon or Her mr.as or Pat robas or Hermes or Philologus or Julia. Many of vou are women at the head of household*.. This morning you launched the family for Sawbath observance. Your brain deei-led the apparel, and your judgment was float on all questions of personal attire. Every morning you plan for the day. The culinary department of your household is in vour dominion. You decide all questions of liet. All Ihe sanitary regulations ot your house are under your supervision. To regu late the food, and the apparel, and the habits and- decide the thousand questions of home life is a tax upon your brain and nerve and .general health absolutely appalling if there be no divine alleviation. It does not help you much to be told that Elizabeth Fry did wonderful things mid the criminals of Newgate. It does not help you much to be told that Mrs. Judson was very brave among the Bornesian cannibals. - It does not help you much to be told that Flor ence Nightingale was very kind to the wounded in the Crimea. It would be better for meto tell you that the Divine Friend of Mary and Martha-is yourlriend, and that He sees all the annoyances and disappointments and abrasions and exasperations of an ordin ary housekeeper from rmorn till night, and from the first day of the year to the last day of the year and-at your call He is ready with help and re-enforcements. They who provide the food of the world decide the health of the world. One of the greatest battles of this century was lost be cause the commander that morning had a fit of indIgestion. You have only to go on some erranid amid the taverns anti the hotels of United.States and Great Britain .to appre ciate the fact that a vast multitude of the hun an race are slaughtered by incompetent coollery, Though a young woman may have taken lessons in music and may have taken lessons in painting and lessons in astronomy, she is niot well e~lucated unless she hastaten h-ssons in dough. They who decide the ap r'ari of the world and the food of the world stecide the endurance of the world. An unthinking man may consider It amat !.er of little importance--the careg. of the houtehold ond the economies of domestic life -but I tell you the earth is strewn with ,the martyrs, of kit.hen and nursery. The health shattere'd womgnhood. of America cries out for a God who can help ordinary womren. in the ordinary duties of housekeeping. -,The wearing, grinding, unappreciated work-goes on, but th'e same Christ who stood' on the bank of Galilee in the early morning and kindled the fire and had the fish albdy cleaned and broiling when the sportsmen stepped ashore, chilled and hungry, will help every woman to prepare breakfast, whether by her own hand or the hand of her hired help. The G>1 who ma-de indestructible eulogy of hannah. who made a coat for Samuel, herson, and carried it to the temple every year. will help every woman in preparing the fa'nilv wardrobe. The God who opens the mBle'withi t he story of Abrahamn's entertain ment of the three angels on the plains of Mlamre will help every woman to provide hoptlthowever rare and- embarrassing.

They. nied~ divine and Christrian help. When we begin to talkc about busine's life, we shoot right off and talk about men who did business on a liirge scale, and who sold milns' of d oliars of goods, a year,.but the - vas-t majoritY of business men do not sell a million dollars of goods, nor half a million, nor ai quarter of a million. nor the eighth p art of a imillion. Put all the business men of our cities, towns, villages and neighbor hoods side by side, and you ivill find that ther sell less than' f50,000 worth of goods. All these" men in ordinary business life want divine help. You see how the wrinkles are printing on the countenance the story of worriment and care. You cannot tell how rd a business man is by looking at him. Gryhisat thirty. A man at forty-five wi thetop of a r'- ..' rian. No time to attend to improved denistry, the grinders cease because they are few. Actually dying of old age at forty or fifty when they ought to be at the meridian.. Many of these business men have bodies like a negl.eted clock to which you come, and you wind it up. and it begins to buzz and roar, andI then the hands start arounA iery fatpidly, and then the cloc'k strikes live 'r tea, or forty, and strikes without any ons, anl thenx suddenly stops. So is the ivl of that wornout business man. It is a negeted i'loek, and though by some sum mer reerent ion it may be wound up. still the ma' hinerv is allout of gear. The hands turn arou'nd with a velocity that excites the as nshment of the world. Men cannot uin rtandl the wonderful activity, and there is roar. and a buzz, and a raittle about these iorde red lives, and they strike ten when therv 'u-'ht tI strike five, and they strike wive when they ought to strike six, and thvy strike forty when they ought to st rike nothng, and ~suddenly they inP- Post 'nortonu examinationi reveal thm" fact that all De" sprin~g and riivots and weignie and bat x'mc; wheels of 'health are comioletelv do moge1. 17no human clock hats simply run own.

The cemeteries have thou ans of business men whodied of old age at thirty. thirty-five, forty, forty-five. Now. what is wanted is grace--liine grae ~for ordinary business men, men who :.re harnessed from morn till ni:ght and all the days of their life-harnessed in business. Not gr:ace to lose $100,000, but gracG. to lose 0. Not grace to supervise 23 emplo~yes i a factory. but grace to supervise the book keepr and t wo salesmen and the small ba[ that sweepe out the store.

Grace not to endure the tardiness of th American Congriess in passing a necessar law, but grace to endure the tardiness of a errand boy stopping te play marbles whe he ought to deliver the goods; such a grac as thousands of business men have to-day keeping them tranquil whether goods sell u do not sell, whether customers pay or do no pay. whether the tariff is up ortariff isdowr whether the crops are luxuriant or a dea failure, calm in all circumstances and ami all vissiitudes-that is the kind of grace w want. Millions of men want it, and the may have it for the asking.

WISE WORDS. An acorn is bigger than a saw log. The wounds made by a friend never heal. Thorns grow fast while a lazy man sleeps. Behind the shadow there is always a light. Half-hearted service is the coward's tribute. The more we love the more we can see to love. Some people havo more repatation than character. The man who has gold for his mas ter wears iron fetters. To-morrow is the fool's seed time, To-day is the time to do. All other eyes are full of beams to the man who has a mote in his own eye. A mistake is sure to attract atten tion where a virtue would be over looked. The poorest man is not the one who has the least, but the. one who wants the most. There is more help in an onnce of encouragement than there is in a ton of good advice. A happy heart is worth more any where than a pedigree running back to the Mayflower. The fellow who is doing nothing himself is sure to complain that no body else is doing enough. The only reason why we don't see the face of truth everywhere is be cause we live too low down. Eloquence may sometimes provoke righteous indignation, but it cannot produce righteousness of life. -Ram's Horn. Thse Rockin- Chair Cur.
