Among some of their new publications to appear shortly are the “Ainu of Japan” by Rev. John Batchelor, which presents the religion, superstition and general history of the hairy aborigines of Japan.

For their missionary list Richard Lovett, an. thor of “United States Pictures,” has prepared a biography of James Gil mour, of Mongolia, probably one of the most heroic missionaries of the Nineteenth Century.

THE OOTTAGE HEARTH FOR JUNE. The June issue of this household magazine comes to its many friends and readers in a new and artistic cover. A glance at the table of con tents reveals the fact that a change has taken place within as well as without. Mrs. Jane G. Austin, who is so well known for her entertaining stories of the early Puritan days, has contributed an exceptionally brigh tale about one of the children of the Mayflower. Among the most popu lar writers of magazine literature no name is better known than that of Molly Elliot Seawell, and her excel lent story of The Neighbors will be read with interest. The breezy hap penings at the Capital City are well told by Kate Foote in her Washing ton Letter. An appreciative sketch of Giotto's life as one Old Masters is given by Deristhe L. Hoyt. Those who are interested in travel will l>e entertained by the account a Bohe mian gives of Tramping in the Mid (land. The ten well-conducted de ! partments seem to be in close touch with what is best in the home life of the average American family. The magazine abounds in handsome il lustrations by clever artists, and W. A. Wilde «fc Co., of Boston, who have recently assumed control of The Cottage Hearth, may feel well as sured that the literary and artistic merits of the magazine are of a high order. The June Century is on our table as the new month comes in. It is really a book within itself. This number opens with the splendid por trait of Roswell Smith the late presi dent of the Century Co. He is the subject of a number ofocontributions Ito this number. Beside the frontis- THE CHRISTIAN INDEX; THURSDAY, JUNE 9. 1892 piece portrait, there is a poem by Edmund Gosse, a biographical sketch by the Rev. Dr. Gladden, an editorial in “Topics of the Time,” with brief statements of Mr. Smith’s connection with the Tract Society, the Congre gational Club, and Berea College, Kentucky. • The leading illustrated article of this number is by Dr. Albert Shaw, whose timely and interesting papers in other nqmbers on modern munici pal governments will be remembered. In this paper he describes the rise of a new metropolis—“ Budapest.” The paper is brightly and profusely illus trated by Joseph Pennell. Joseph Bishop has a paper of timely interest on “Early Political Caricature in America,” in view of the approaching national election. There are quite a number of interest ing articles beside. The North American Review for June covers a wide field of the thought and the activities of the day; while the list of distinguished writers gives assurance of the interesting and profitable character of the ar-‘ tides. The following are the contents : The Harrison Administration by Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts; Senator Dolph, of Oregon ; and Sen ator Colquitt, of Georgia. Modern Revolutions and their results, a Sil ver Senator Reviewed, Prehistoric Times in Egypt and Palistine, the New York Clearing House, the Per ils of reelecting presidents, the Fu ture of Westminister Abbey, what I expect to do in Africa, a Modern Form of Insanity, Medical Superin tendent of Randall’s Island Hospi tals, the Servant-Girl’s Point of View, the Penalties of a Well-Known Name, the Progress of Nationalism in the United States. Notes and Comments.—College Republicans, the Decadence of Dick ens, Women as Human Beings, a Toq-Long Vacation, Index to Vol. CLIV. ABRAHAM ~LINOOLNAND MEN OF . WAR TIMES. “By the Veteran Journalist, Col. A. • K. McClure, LL. D., Editor-in chief of The Philadelphia Times.” Col. McClure needs no ihtroduc tion to the public. He is well and and widely-known as a forceful and perspiciotts writer, as a close and se gacious student of men and events, as a writer of experiences, extraor dinary alike in scope and interest. This book is not a biography of Lin coln, nor a history of the Civil War, but it presents a series of pictures of Lincoln in his relation to the great events of his time and to the distinguished men who surrounded him, from the point of view of an experienced observer who was close ly associated with the political move ment of the day, and was frequently called into the confidential councils of the President. Mr. McClure records in this book only those things of which he had personal knowledge, or which came to his knowledge directly, and his personal recollections of Lincoln present a truthful and vivid portrait of the man at many of the critical periods of his life, such as has not been presented before. The work, is sold only by subscription, and per sons desiring to obtain it who have not been supplied by local agent# can receive it by mail, postpaid, by sending the subscription price ($2.00 in Cloth and $3.00 in Morocco Gilt) to the Tinies, Eight and Chest nut, Philadelphia.

St. Nicholas for June is at hand and a capital number it is. “Sum mer's Come,” adorns the Frontis piece. A very striking story is “The Boy who Wouldn’t Be Stumped.” Mr. Charles F. Simmons continues his instructive papers on the great South-west. William Abbatt, on “The Lonely Lighthouse.” Mal colm Douglass tells in verse “A Tale of Piracy.” Howard Bunch writes “Dick's Dive,” a shark adven ture. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, writes “That's The Way” in verse. The aerials are of the usual merit and the departments are edited w’ith skill and brightness. A short memorial sketch of Mr. Rowell Smith, the late President of The Century Co., reminds the young readers that he was the founder of the magazine. FROM THE TARHEEL COUNTRY. Knott, Hcnneseo «fc Co., Brindleton, N. C., writes that Huckleberry Cor dial sells better with every satisfao? tion for bowel troubles and children teething and commend it to every mother, the physician of the home. RETAIN YOUR SENSES! COULD YOU IF YOU WERE CON FINED IN AN ASYLUM I Some Interesting: Facts From a Promi nent Scientific Maa Whb Has Had a Most Valuable Experience. We sometimes see in the papers a thrilling account of where a perfect ly sane person has been confined, in an asylum. Think of it, reader! How long would, you retain your senses if you were confined with a number of lunatics, night and day, and yet think of the physicians in charge of the patients who are com pelled, day by day and year by year, to live among them. What wonder ful opportunities they have for study ing characteristics and vagaries; what a wonderful chance for learning the miseries of life and how best to overcome them. We are brought to these reflections by a conversation lately had with Dr. J. C. Spray, of 163 State Street, Chi cago., For nearly ten years Doctor Spray was in charge of the Jefferson, now Dunning, Institute, at Dunning, 111. This tremendous institution con tained about twelve hundred patients in the Insane Department, and fif teen hundred in the infirmary. Among this large number of persons there were a vast number of physical ailments. Dr. Spray, speaking about it, said: •“I traced the great cause for most of the mental and indeed physical dis orders very carefully, and while some authorities make and estimate that seveflty-five percent, of the people in the United States are afflicted with some form of kidney disease, I do not think that the rate is so high, taking all ages into consideration. Before middle life it is less than sev enty five per cent, after middle life it is, I should think, fully that per centage.” “This is something terrible, Doc tor. Few people can certainly be aware that so large a percentage ex ists?” The Doctor thought a moment and then said: “It is fact not generally recognized that where a person has diseased kidneys and the organs fail to perform their functions of remov ing the waste and the impurities frojn the system, it soon produces melancholia. As a result our asylums are filled to overflowing, while if the people would strike at the root of the matter and see that their kidneys were in good order, there would be fewer patients in the asylums. I have noticed that ft large portion of all pa resis cases had kidney difficulties.” “What have you found, Doctor, to be the standard and most reliable re medy in such cases ?” Dr. Spray spoke with great confi dence. He said: “Having so many cases to treat, 1 tried various reme dies, and after a long an exhaustive trial, finally decided that Warner’s Safe Cure was the best, most effec tive and mosjt reliable Remedy. I found it specially reliable in cases of incipient Bright's disease. It is cer tain to stop it, and even in the ad vanced conditions it allays the disease and to my surprise at first, cured many cases'. Before J structural changes set in, itis certain to cure if properly admistered.” “Has your experience while at the asylum, Doctor, been confirmed' in your generar practice since leaving it?” “Yes. I have occasion to use the Safe Cure almost daily. When ever I find traces of albumen in the urine of a patient, I prescribe the Safe Cure, atid in nearly every jn tance where 1 notice indications of nervous troubles, I analyze the urine, and almost invariably find it caused by some affection of the kid neys. I now have a patient to whom I am giving the Safe Cure, and find that it is having the desired effect. Some time ago a gentleman came to me, who had been examined for life insurance, and traces of albumen were found. I advised the use of the Safe Cure, and he passed the exam ination without difficulty after hav ing used it.” “I understand, then, Doctor, that you attribute a large percentage of the ills of life to some disease of the kid neys, and that you have found the remedy of w‘hich yon speak the most effective in such cases.” “YCS I have no hesitation in 'say ing that Warner’s Safe Cure has my unqualified endorsement. I use it constantly,and would not do so unless 1 thought it possessed curative quali ties.” The high standing, wide experi ence and great success of ,Dr. Spray make his words exceedingly impres sive. Their sincerity cannot be ques tioned, and their truthfulness is abso lute. Impressed with this fact, and realizing the importance of the same I have transcibed Itis words in full and give them herewith.—Chicago Journal. , ,-t—• A smooth shave is a luxury Those who buy the True Apollo Ring Razor, at $2.00, from Alling A Lodge, Madison Inli., are in it.

The bird's wing means air, the fish’s fin means water, the horse’s hoof means solid ground; and what would happen if the bird tried the water, and the fish tried the air happens when men get out of their natural element. In my watch the spring cannot exchange places with the wheels, nor the cogs with the pivots. “Stay where I put you!” cries the watch maker, “if you want to keep good time!” Now the world is only a big watch that God wound up, and the seasons are the hands which tell how fast the time is going. * ‘Stay where I put you!” cried our great Creator. Or, if you prefer, human society is a ship. Some are to go ahead; they are the prow. Some are to stay be hind and guide those who lead; they are the helm. Some are to be enthusiastic and carry the flag; they are the masts. Some are to do nothing but act as a dead weight; they are shoveled in as ballast. Some are to fume and fret and blow; they are the valves. Our happiness and success depend on being where we belong. A scow may be admirable, and a seventy-four gun ship may be admirable, but do not put the scow on the ocean, or the ship of the line in a millpond. Fortune is spoken of as an old shrew with hot water, shovel and tongs pursuing the innocent. But though sometimes losing her temper she mostly approves those who are in their sphere and condemns those who are •where they do not belong. Some men get into an occupation be low that for which they are intended. The have their “seventy-four” in the millpond. They do not get along as well in that position as somebody with less brains. An elephant would make wretch ed work if you set it to hatch out goose eggs, but no more wretched than a man of great attainments appointing himself to some insignificant office. Men are often in a position a little above that for which they were intend ed. Now the old scow is out on the ocean.—Dr. Talmage in Christian at Work. Prayer Meetings. The regular midweek prayer meeting in your church could be made a mighty power and filled to overflowing if the following simple rules and suggestions were carried out: Let some one call together in his home twenty-five people of the parish, who have brains enough to take part to edifi cation. Give them a happy, social hour, with a nice luncheon; never mind if it does cost time, trouble and money. After Innch tell them what you want and pledge them to it. Be present, rain or shine. Get there early with cheering faces. See that everybody has books to sing from. Have the room well lighted. Keep the temperature at 65 degs. Get the people together and front seats full. Squelch long preludes and interludes and afterludes on organ or piano. The twenty-five should sing strong, clear and with good time. Every one be ready to offer a short, very short, pointed prayer. Let the twenty-five demand reverence, mingled with joy, by their every act. Have ready some good Scripture, tes timony or song. Permit no one to be lengthy, not even the preacher. Never follow the same order; vary the services. • See that sinners are urged to accept Christ. Close the meeting promptly. The twenty-five then speak to every body in the room. Ask them to bring gome one else next week.—Christian Herald. Besides the special set of denomi national articles by special men, The Convention Teacher is running for this year three series of articles as follows: On “Missions,” by F. M. Ellis, D. ]).; on “Bible Character,” by W. E. Hatcher, D. D.; on “Sun day school Insctrnetion,” by John A. Broadus, D. I). The June number has the first of three articles from B. H. Carroll, D.
