Our Little Ones is one of the children’s papers published by the ! American Baptist Publication Socie ty. It is bright and beautiful and at tractive—just the paper to place ( in the hands of our children. It shows careful preparation. Its pict ures and poems and stories and Sun day lessons are among the very choicest. We plead for our little, ones parent and Sunday-schools place Our Little Ones in their hands. DR. DOBBS AT MERGER. Dr. Dobbs has been to see us. He came to work. He did it. He gave proof of his fitness, willingness and ability to do good work. He deliv ered three lectures to the ministerial students. His topics were: (1.) The Bible, its structure. (2.) The Bible, its authority. (3.) Interpre • tation, its relation to Homiletics They were full of foundation truth and well-suited to be the first of a course of lectures which are to be given to the class. The History of the Book, and the Book of Histories has been opened at a new place to these young men and they are be ginning to see new things in the re markable records. In addition to these lectures, he delivered on Friday night a lecture to the public. He had a very culti vated and appreciative audience. For one hour he entertained, de lighted and instructed his hearers in a chaste, beatiful and forcible review of Arnold’s two poems, “The Light of Asia” and “The Light of the World.” I will not attempt any out line of the admirable lectures, but simply intimate, that if other col- ' leges would like to have a good 1 thing they would do well to ask Dr. Dobbs to repeat it in their chapels. After the lecture the young peo- ! pie repaired to the College Parlors and Reading Room and spent an ' hour socially which will not soon be forgotten. These rooms have not yet been fully furnished but they ■ are neat and inviting and suggest an atmosphere of home and social life 1 that is pleasing and beneficial to the 1 student. The possibility of mental i and social culture through these ap purtenances, which was manifested in the evening of this formal open- , ing, assures another educational : force at Mercer. Hundreds of visi- i tors who have looked into these apartments and considered their 1 adaptation to the needs of the insti- : tution have expressed their delight < at this innovation upon the college < life of boys. With these superior and well-furnished accommodations there will be no need for the Classes, Fraternities or Societies to go down 1 town for their entertainments and i social gatherings. It is best for ev- < erything that belongs to Mercer to < be attached to Mercer, and for every < expression of Mercer to proceed ! from Mercer.

Make Mercer the centre from which all her uplifting, educating influences shall radiate. G. A. Nunnally. A MAN’S VIEW. HOW HE BELIEVES IN BRINGING UP HIS CHILDREN. A man whose son and daughter are models of behavior as regards their perfect manners confided to the writer that he had an unfailing system in the bringing up of children that had worked so well with his own that he was trying the same thing with his little granddaughter, and so far with the success that at tended his former efforts. Said he: “Many children are de prived of everything when they are small and surfeited when they grow older. The first glimpses of so much that they have heretofore never seen or tasted bewilders them and they act most awkwardly and arc self-conscious and embarrassed. With my children I gave them everything in great quantities at the start. If I they liked candy they were given more of it than they could eat, and soon the little piecs sufficed. ( “With toys it was the same way. Other children would go in a store and want everything. Mine having had so much either asked for noth ing or discriminated in their choice. . “Jewelry was never with held and to-day my daughter is not seen with overloaded hands and gems worn at inappropriate times. On my table was always used the best and it was set in the most formal and elegant manner; therefore, when my children were old enough to go out in society no form could disturb their usual calm or no display appear over whelming, as it often does to unac customed eyes. It is the only way to do. Surfeit them when little and they will not make shows of them selves when older.” The scheme is all very well if money is no object, but many a parent has methods equally success ful that are not quite so expensive, but “Chacun a son gout.” PUDDING SAUOES, Cream Sauce (with wine). —One quarter cupful butter creamed with one half cupful powdered sugar. Just before serving, add two table spoonfuls white wine, one teaspoon ful vanilla, and two tablespoonfuls cream. Substitute for Cream.—Boil three fourths of a pint of sweet milk; beat the yolk of one egg, and a level teaspoonful of Hour with sugar enough to make the cream very sweet. When the milk boils, stir this into it, and let it cool; flavor to taste. For puddings in which eggs are used, this is almost as good as rich cream, and preferable to thin cream. Excellent Pudding Sauce.— Two coffee cupfuls sugar, three fourths of a coffee cupful of butter. Rub to a cream. When well mixed, stir in one half teacupful boiled cider, a little at a time. Just before serv ing, set in a kettle of boiling water until hot, but not boiling. Fruit Sauce.—Take one quart of any kind of ripe fruit, as red raspberries, strawberries, or peaches; if the latter, they must be very ripe. Pare and mash the fruit with a po tato masher. Add one tablespoon ful of melted butter and one cupful of powdered sugar. Stir well togeth er, and set on the fire until warm. BED MAKING. In a recent article by Maria Par loa there are some suggestions in regard to beds that must appeal to every thoughtful housekeeper. The custom of spreading up beds is so common as to be almost universal. Said a woman who sets herself up as an experienced housekeeper: “I always take everything off every bed THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 17. 1892. in the house once a week.” As if every article should not be taken off and aired and the mattress turned over every day in the week! Noth, ing less than this is wholesome and nothing else will insure sweet, health giving sleep. In her article Maria Parloa says: “In the morning take each sheet and blanket from the bed separately and hang over chairs so that the wind will blow through them. Shako up the pillows and the bolsters and place them in tho air and turn up the mattresses so that the air will circulate about them. Air tho room and bedding for at least an hour.” She emphasizes that all the belongings of the bed should be placed smoothly and in such a way that it will present a neat and trim appearance. At least once a month a bedstead should be taken to pieces and thoroughly dusted and the clothing hung out in the sun a part of the day. HOW TO OLEAN BRONZES. A lady who has had some exper ience in cleaning ornamental articles in bronze says : “Do not put vinegar on bronze. Vinegar or water takes the bronzing off if imitation and affects the gloss of real bronze. The safest thing is pure salad oil, lightly rubbed on (the dust being all re moved first), then rubbed off with a soft cloth and afterwards polished with a chamois. Another way is to plunge the object in boiling soap suds, then in pure boiling water. Afterwards expose the article to the air, and when it is dry rub it very lightly with a leather on which a little whitening has been rubbed. 1 believe rinsing the articles in beer, after having washed them in soap and water, is very good. The beer should not be wiped off, but allowed to dry on in a warm place. But I prefer the salad oil to any other ap plication.” A HUGE ROSE-BUSH. The trunk of a rose bush or tree which has been in full bloom at Ven tura, Cal., all summer is three feet in circumference at the ground. The first branch, which juts out at a height of about four feet from the ground, is eight inches in diameter, or about two feet in circumference. It was planted in 1876 from a slip obtained at the Centennial Exhibi tion, and although several wagon loads of limbs are annually pruned off it now covers an area of nearly 2,000 square feet. It is predicted that by the time it is 25 years old it will have outstripped the gigantic rose tree at Cologne, which is known to be more than 300 years old, and is less than four feet in circumfer ence, ADVICE FROM A TRAINED NURSE. “It is well known that the skin is a great absorbent, and nutrition even can be conveyed through its agency,” says a trained nurse. “A physician once ordered a beef tea bath for a baby I was nursing, who was apparently dying of some ex hausting bowel trouble, and with admirable effect. And I myself have found that rubbing delicate persons with warm olive oil is an excellent tonic. If I had charge of a puny, sickly baby I should feel inclined to give it oil baths instead of water baths, and try the effect. The oil is quite as cleansing, and it stands to reason that such tiny be ings, particularly if they are badly nourished, shonld not have the natu raloil of the body continually washed away.” ELEPHANT ON TOAST. From the Detroit Free Press. The young man from the country took his green necktie and his best girl into a restaurant on Woodward avenue, and, like some young men when the girls are around, he was disposed to be facetious at the wait er’s expense. “Waiter,” he said, “bring mo a broiled elephant.” “Yassir,” replied the waiter, per fectly unmoved. “And, waiter, bring it on toast.” “Yassir.” Then he stood there like a statue for a minute. “Well,” said the young man, “are you going to bring it?” “Yassir.” “Why don’t you do it, then ?” “Orders is, sir, dat wo has to git pay in advance for elephants, sir. Elephants on toast, sir, am <(18,000. 25; cf you take it widout toast, sir, it ain only 118,000, sir.” The waiter never smiled, but the girl did, and the young man climbed down. OLD, BUT GOOD AS NEW. When I behold a fashionable table, set out in all its magnificence, I fancy I see gouts and dropsies, fevers and lethargies, with other innumera ble distempers, lying in ambuscade among the dishes. Nature delights in the most plain and simple diet. Every animal but man keeps to one dish. Herbs are the food of this species, fish of that and flesh of a third. Man feeds upon everything that comes in his way; not the small est food or excrescence of earth, scarce a berry or a mushroom, can escape him.—Addison. Buckwheat Cakes.—-First, be sure that you get perfectly pure buckwheat, free from grit. The adulterations with rye injure the quality. Put one quart of cold wa ter into a stone jar with a small neck; add to it one teaspoonful of salt and three quarter cups of buckwheat flour; beat well until perfectly smooth; then add a half-cup of yeast or half a compressed cake, and mix well; cover the top of the jar with a saucer or plate; let stand in a moder ately warm place (65 degree Fahren heit) until morning. In the morning dissolve a half-teaspoonful of salera tus or soda in two tablespoonfuls of boiling water; add this to the batter, beat thoroughly and bake on a hot griddle. The saleratus is simply to improve the flavor. A cupful of this batter may be, saved and added to the cakes to-morrow instead of fresh yeast, and may be so continued all winter. THE ADVERTISING Os Hood’s Sarsaparilla is always within the bounds of reason because it is true; it always appeals to the so ber, common sense of thinking peo ple because it is true; and it is always fully substantiated by endorsement which in the finacial world would be accepted without a moment’s hesita tion. For a general family cathartic we confidently recommend Hood’s Pills. THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW. When coarse cloth and rough leather were the materials for cloth ing women’s feet, manufacturers had a hard time of it. Shoemakers were slow to take the chances of a new and rather poor country. The meth ods were very rude. The women wore coarse leather shoes, bound with white and black striped leather. Children were kept shod by the con tributions of old loot legs, discarded by the fathers, and worked up into small shoe uppers. The progress made in the shoemaking art during the last half century is not a whit behind the aohievments of science in other fields during that period. SOHIFFMANN'S ASTHMA CURE Instanly relieves the most violent attack, facillitates free expection and insures rest to those otherwise unable to sleep except in a chair as a single trial will prove. Send for a free trial package to Dr. IL Schiffmann, St. Paul, Minn., but ask your drug gist first. FOR EARACHE. An excellent way to alleviate the miseries of earache is to lay over a stove-plate which is very warm a thick cotton cloth which has just been wrung out of water. A steam immediately rises, over which the person’s aching ear should be held- The steam permeates all the crevices as no other remedy will, and instan taneous relief is experienced. A CANAL REOPENED. Health is largely dependent upon a regular habit of body. Tho bowels act as an important canal for the carrying of waste matter of tho sys tem. They, together with the kid neys and pores, are outlets for de bris whose presence is fatal to the body’s well-being. Hostetter’s Sto mach Bitters is no violent purgative but a gentle laxative admirrbly adap ted to tho wants of tho constipated It never gripes and wrenches the in testines as all drastric cathartics do, but produces atf action akin to that of an effort of nature. Biliousness, indigestion, with their associate manifestation, costiveness, aro speed ily and completely remedied by this line corrective, which also conquers malaria sick headaches, kidnoy and rheumatic troubles and checks pre mature decay. (Ghililr (Ooiner A NOBLE COWARD. “Yes,” cried one of tho boys, the leader of the band, merry, fun-lov ing, Harry Brown; “ it’s going to be a jolly lark. You boys can slip over the orchard fence and get all the ap ples *you can carry, while I wait outside and watch for tokens of old Grimes. Os course, you all under stand, boys, that I don’t approve of stealing; only a trifle like this, done just for the fun of tho thing, need hurt nobody, and Grimes will never miss the fruit.” “Ben,” he added, turning to a manly-looking young lad, who had been an eager listener with the oth ers, “just take a sack with you. You are stronger than the others, and ought to be able to carry off more.” “But I am not going,” said Ben. “Not going!” cried the boys; “you don’t mean to say you are going to miss such rare sport ?” Ben shook his head, and a pink flush covered his face. “Boys,” he said, “it isn’t right to do this thin<u You can’t make me believe it’s any thing less than stealing. Wo all know that Grimes is choice of his fruit, aud it isn’t treating him as we would like to be treated.” “Coward ! coward 1” said one and another of the boys. “I’ll admit, boys, that Grimes is mean. He would sooner see his apples rot than give one away. But I can’t do it! I had a mother, once, boys, and she taught me to pray. Even if Grimes did not see us, I think that wo are told that God’s eye is everywhere.” Oh, come, now, preacher,” said Harry Brown, “just help us through just this once. We’ll admit that it isn’t quite right, but boys often play worse pranks than this. Say you’ll help us 1 Don’t bo sissy !” Ben’s face grew bright with the courage of a hero. “Boys, I dare not,” he said. “You are right; lam afraid to do it. But it is not Grimes of whom lam afraid—it is my moth er’s God. I’ve never said much about it—it’s not my way to talk— but, boys, lam a Christian. You all know what that means. My Bible says, ‘Do all to the glory of God.’ I don’t think I should glorify God much to-night if I should go and steal Grime’s apples, do you ?” “See here,’.’ he continued, as one or two of tho boys laughed, and tho others stood silent around him, “this is prayer-meeting night, and I, for one, am going. If you fellows will go with me there, instead of visiting Grimes’ orchard, I’ll take you to fa ther’s after service, and treat you to apples the like of which Grimes has never seen.” The boys demurred a moment. “Well, I don’t care,” said Harry Brown, “since you are bound to spoil the fun any way.” That night the pastor of the church of P felt a great thrill of happi- ness when Ben entered the class room, followed by ten young boys. But a moment before he had looked at tho empty chairs and wondered, with heavy heart, where the young lads were. After the service, as he grasped one and another of the boys by the hand, giving them warm words of welcome, they felt it was not such a bad place to be after all. “I guess Ben Wood isn’t much of a coward,” said Harry Brown to the boys at the close of a happy evening spent in his home. “No; I guess not,” they answered. Such cowardice as that shown by youthful Ben is grand. Give us such cowards, who dare not commit a wrong deed, and we will show you a future generation of noble men, fit to rule tho nation.—Kind Words. A YODNG AFRICAN HERO. Some of you have hard words to bear at times because you love the Lord Jesus. But in some parts of tho world people who say they be lieve in Him aro beaten cruelly, and even put to death. In Central Africa, a few years ago, some boys were burned to death by order of the king because they were Christians. Yet, in spite of this, a boy of about sixteen years was brave enough to wish to become a Christian. He came to the mis sionary, and said in bis own lan guage:— “ My friend, I wish to be baptized.” “Do you know what you aro ask ing?” said tho missionary in surprise. “ I know, my friend.” “ But if you say you are a Chris tian, they will kill you.” “ I know, my friend.” “ But if they ask you if you are a Christian, will you tell a lie, and say ‘No’?” Bravely and firmly came the boy’s answer : “I shall confess, my friend.’ A little talk followed, in which he showed clearly that he understood what it was to be a Christian; so the missionary baptized him by the name of Samweli, which is the same as our Samuel. The king found him so useful that he employed him to collect the taxes, which are paid in cowries,—little shells which in Africa are used in stead of money. One day, when he was away on this business, the king again got angry with the Christians, and’order ed that all the leading ones should be killed. Samweli’s name was found upon the list. As he came back he heard of the death that was awaiting him. That night, when it was quite dark, the missionary was awakened by a low knocking at the door. It was Samweli and his friends, come to know what he should do. Should he run away, or must he go and hand over the money ho had collected ? After a silence the missionary said: “Tell me what you think.” Looking up, Samweli replied: “My friend, I cannot leave the things of the king.” His friends earnestly begged him to fly, but the missionary said: “No, he is right. He has spoken well; he must deliver up the money.” They all knelt down in prayer together, the missionary wondering sadly if be should ever see the young hero again. “My friend, I will try to start early, and leave the cowries with the chief,” said the lad, as he set off; “but I fear my carriers will not be ready till after daylight, and if I am seen I shall be caught. Good-by.’’ But God kept him. He went boldly to the chief’s hut, put down the cowries, and walked away He went again a few nights after to tell the missionary, who said : “You ran when you got outside.” •‘No, my friend, for I should have been noticed at once. I walked quite slowly until I got out of sight, and then I ran as fast as I could, and so I escaped.” This is a true story, taken from Mr. Ashe’s book, “Two Kings of Uganda.” It shows the love of Christ can make a boy brave to do his duty even in the face of danger and death. “In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence.” A LAUGHABLF INCIDENT. A writer in the New York World, tells the following. He says; “It happened in the spring of 1873. The four of us had gone to Europe together—Dr. McVickar of Philadelphia, Phillips Brooks and Mr. Robinson the builder of Boston’s Trinity church. Robinson stands six feet two inches in his stockings. Dr. McVickar measures six feet four inches and Brooks exceeds six feet in height. Robinson is sensitive about his length; and suggested that in order to avoid comment tho three tall men avoid being seen to gether. Arriving in England, they went direct to Leeds, where they learned that a lecturer would ad dress the working class on “America and Americans.” Anxious to hear what Englishmen thought of tho great Republic, they went to the hall. They entered separately and took seats apart. The lecturer, after some uninteresting remarks, said that Americans were as a rule short and seldom if ever rose to the height five feet ten inches. He did not know to what cause ho could attrib ute this fact, but he wished he could present examples to tho audience. Phillips Brooks rose to his feet and said: “I am an American, and, as you see about six feet in height, and sincerely hope that if there bo any other representative of my coun try present he will rise. After a moment’s interval, Mr. Robinson rose and said: “I am from America, in which country my height—six feet two—is the subject of no remark. If there be any other American here, I hope he will rise.’ The house was in a jolly humor. Waiting until the excitement could abate in some degree, and the lectu rer regain control of his shattered nerves, Dr. McVickar slowly drew his majestic form to its full height, and exclaimed: “I am an .” But ho got no further. The au dience roared, and the lecturer said no more on that subject. AN UNTIMELY DEATH An untimely death so often follow deglect of a slight cough or cold. If Taylor’s Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum and Mullein is taken in time it will prevent any evil results. It cures coughs, colds and consump tion. SEMINARY NOTES.
