One of the wittiest friends insists
that preachers occasionally to be re
quired to sit in the pews and listen
to a sermon or a lecture from a lay
brother. The suggestion is not lack
ing in merit. At least two good ends
would be served by the proposed ar
rangement. In the first place, the
preachers would learn—perhaps to
their surprise—that it is not the easi
est thing in the world to listen to a
dull and tedious discourse; and, in
the second place, the laymen would
likewise find oat how hard and dfii
cult a took it is to prepare and preach
an interesting and edifying sermon.
Less of criticism and more of sympa
thy all aronnd would be the probable
result.
The Central Christian Advocate
says: “And why should we not
acknowledge that the habit of drink

houses, and at meals at home, and
more frequently as a luxury, is beeom.
ing somewhat common even among
church members whose churches have
taken an open stand in favor of total
abstinence and prohibition ? The
inevitable consequences of this prac
tice should be tenderly but firmly set
forth, and the Pauline doctrine of the
responsibility of church members
plainly taught.”

Testing the Parity of Water.
The Inventor of a handy and reliable
mode of testing the purity of water
would deserve the thanks of the com
munity. It Is to be regretted that the
simple test of adding a little sugar,
which has lately been advocated, and
whiab la said to cause any organic mat
ter In the water to appear after a while
In the form of black specks, Is of no
value whatever practically. The mis
conception about the merit of this test
has probably arisen from the fact that
it was formerly used for the detection
of a fungus supposed to be peculiar to
sewage. A bottle containing sugared
water was placed In a strong light and
kept at a temperature of 80 dogs. Fah
renheit for several hours.
The turbidity thus developed was
found, ander the microscope, to con
sist of small spherical colls. Heisch be
lieved that these ceils evidenced the
contamination of the water by sewage,
bnt Franklin showed that the spores of
this particular fungus were present in
all waters that had been even moment
arily exposed to the air. and that their
development was due simply to the
presence of phosphates in the water.
The addition of even a minute trace of
any phosphate was sufficient to cause
such development In any water under
the conditions stated.—New York Com

BIUHons of Btiep ta Australia.
Uno hundred million of sheep—such,
roughly speaking, is, according to Mr.
W. A Temperley, the total wealth of
Australia invested in those bleating
flocks which were the standard and
outward token of riches in the pastoral
communities of the ancient world. In
his paper read before the Tyneside Geo
graphical society Mr. Temperley gave
a curious picture of the operation of
sheep shearing at a model Australian
sheep station of 150,000 acres. For sys
tem and economy it appears to be far
ahead of anything known in this part
of the world. Bach a holding should
support, we are told, 50,000 sheep, be
sides a few hundred head of cattle
and a number of horses for station
work.
The farm described possessed 15,000
to 20,000 breeding ewes of the merino
type, the remainder being what are
called “dry sheep.” In New South
Wales the density of the sheep popula
tion, so to speak, is estimated at about
149 1-2 animals to the square mile. The
total of tho world’s net export of wool
is 1,000,000,000 pounds weight per an
num. Of tills vast total 551-2 per
cent comes from Australia, 29 per cent
from the Argentine Republic and 9 1-2
per cent, from the Capo. Thus 94 per
cent of the whole comes from the sheep
zones of the southern hemisphere. It
is noted as a curious geographical fact
that all the great wool exporting coun
tries- lie south of tho fifteenth degree of
south latitude. —London Standard.
Mussels are a common ammo tn met,
largely eaton by some classes, and they
frequently occasion fatal cases of poi
soning. This is attributed to a princi
ple winch has been extracted from the
mussel called luytilotoxine, also a pow
erful poison, about a grain and a half
being a fatal dose.—Herald of Health,
