LEAD PSALM XC ; 2 COR. V.
“See that ye walk circume;ectly,
not as fools, but as wise, redeeming
the time because the days are evil.†—
Epues. V. 15, 16.
These Ephesians now, who a little
before were as depraved as the multi
tudes aruund them, were expected to
do far more than defeni themselves
from the general gorruption. As fo}.
lowers of Chriet, it wis demanded of
thew that they should exdeavour to
overcome and cleanse it. It was their
calling not to eave themselves, but co
emancipate, if they could, their
brethren, They had become lights ia
the Lord; not to keep their light in a
lantern for their -uwn guidance, but
that, by the shining of their Chrietain
example, they might invade the terri-
tory and disperse the darkness of evil.
Ig was in reference teth's vocation
that the apostle exhorted them as wise
perchan ob D heir oppor-
tunities. The times were evil; there
fore, let them do in them all the good
they could. The world was lying in
wickedness, Jet them not withdraw
from it and so rob it of the grace of
God; let them rather cast themselves
apon it, and Jet them endeavour by
rigidly observing the Christian rule to
bring it into subjection to Christ.
Many of us need this exhortation,
for our conceptions of Christian dis
eipleship are uegative rather than
positive, and we are far too concerned
about our self-defence to render pro-
r and efficient service. A man who
is always guardiug himself against the

THE SHOP CLERK.
THE ALL DAY STANDING.
Qn the 29th of December 1990, there
became a law in Feance a bill requiriaâ€
that in every shop, store or plage where
goods of any description were’ offered
for sale, there should be provided, for
the use of the girl end women clerks,
9s many seate as there were Such em-
ploye 2 time ago England show-

similar thing had been fairly generally

from ‘this present evil, will never.

They will soon deepal of keeping

are sent into the world by Christ, even
as Ite was sent by the Father, to save
and to sanctify it. Andif in the power
of the Holy Spirit, our lives have the
effect of convincing it of its sin, and of
Christ's righteousness, and of certain
judgment, we are not likely to incur

our intension, and the earnestness of
our endeavour to help it, we will find a
security against its infection. Its
wickedness is not likely to harm any
one who takes it upon his hecrt as the
Cross of his Saviour, ~
Understanding what the will of our
Lord for the ‘world is, viz , that its
wickedness is to be condemned, its
misery is to be relieved by His grace
and truth supplied through the minis-
try of His people ; it is a serious ques-
tion for each of us, whether we are
sufficiently careful of buying up our
epportunities for Him, Must we not

West Indian Products.
We extrect the fullowing from the
interesting columns of our con
temporary the Demerara Argosy.
One extinct industry in the West
Indies is that of indigo. In some of
the islands the remains of the. factories
“* worked by the older French colonists
areto be met with. Indigo is now
artificially made in Germany, which
has supplied European markets, but
for some purposes the natural product
isindispensable. It may not be gerne
rally known that the pimento trade of
Jamaica, once so flouri hing, suffered
’ greatly when the cussians the princi-
pal consumers, devarzed by the
Crimean War from obtaining supplies
from that island, luckily discovered

but not common fault of some cows

These facts are sufficient to expla n
many things in regard to the milking
of cows, and to suggest some consider-
ations in regard tv the milking func-
tion, as practically connec with
dairy work. Some cdws habitually
hold up their milk, as wesay. The
right understanding of the previous
facts explain why they do this, aud
how they are able todo it. Some
cows give bloudy milk under some cir
cumstances, and these facts explain
why this is possible, and the cause of
it. Equally i
It is to be regreted if tobacco culti-

In olden times tobacco was largely

Charlotte used snuff and would take
only that obtained from St. Vincent.
Several attempts have been made to
reestablish the cultivation in that
island where the plant inas flourished,
but endeavours to satisfactorily manu-
facture it fealed- The old records of
Barbados show to what a large ex-
tent tobacco of island growth was used
as an article of barter more than 250
years ago.

Science in Milking.
_, WHAT IS MILK?
It is commonly eupposed that milk
is made by the cowand stored: in the
udder. ‘Ilns is a mistake. Forty or
fifty years ago no one Knew precisely
what milk was. Even the scientific
students, the physicians and anato
mists, did not understand the special
functions of the milk organs. The
writer, we quote from an exchange, has
a personal knowledge of this, for when
a student in a medical college there
was no information in any of the books
beyond the mere structure of the udder
or milk producing organ of any ani-
mal. The light broke in upon the
mind of the writer nearly forty years
ago, when’ keeping adairy and one «f
his cows was actidontly killed as the
herd was crossing a railroad on their
way tobe milked. ‘Qne of the best of
the herd, then milking twenty quarts
a day, when dressed (not being injured
for making beef), was found to have
only afew drops of milk in the udder.
A close dissection of the udder and
microscopical examination disclosed the
ane
that the udd-1r was packed tightly
with a mass vo! uunute vesicles, or
ylandular tissues, {drnted like bunches
of grapes, each attached to a stem
which was a duct, and this leading to
other ducts, and these to-larger ones,
until the teat wasreached. On cutting
through these minute vesicles there
vas avery minute globule of ol or fat
in several of them, with only a very
little milk; not enough in the whole
udder to more than: wet the table on
eabvhich the work was done. There
globules needed a strong microscope
to examine them sufficiently. This
disclosure at once explained how it
was that when one began to milk the
Tier war gene pol} —-and—tevse
and thete:t needed somelittie work:
ing to get the milk te flow; tlat, in
fact, the milk was made sot throush
the intervals between milking, but
the materials for it: weré,! and theee
consisted of mivate glands Glled with
dues As
“
heifers are entirely ueselessas muilkers,
for chzir own calves will not take the
milk, which is simply blood, unchanged
by reason of defective structure of the
udder. It also explains why it is that
sometimes cows give a nauseous puru-|
lent matter instead of milk, when by
reason of inflammatory conditicy of
the udder, the blood in it chauzes to
pus instead of milk, as the blood
changes in wounds or eruptive tumors
It also explains how it is thatthe
foods affect the milk, giving their own
character, good or bad, to it ; and how
foods well disposed to fatten an ani-
mal, will fatten the milk ofa cow,
which by nature ie obliged to give her
surplus nuatriment to the calf. In
fact, it goes both ways. It shows the
opposite of all these conditions as well.
For the simple reasons that a caw which
is well supplied with the materials will
give bétter and more milk than one
not so supplied. Foracuw, as every
other productive thing, must have the
rigLt materials in due supply, and can-
not make anything else but nothing,
out of uothing, taking the liberty im
this expression of the tact to stretch
the significance of this word nothing.
It helps very much in the full
understanding of the business of milk-
ing cows, which it-is clorely connected
with, this idea of the udder being an
active nervous secret orvan, and

OF JAMAICA
(By Jack Span.)
It is a matter of wonder how
few native Jamaicans perceive any
marked difference iu the weather,
as season succeeiis season, year by
year. The expressions, ‘‘ last win
ter,†*‘ next spring,†‘‘ this summer,â€
etc., are seldom heard, and if by
chance one does happen to hear
them, the person who is responsible
for them is either a foreiguer, ora
Jamaican who has spent some part
of his life abroad. The’ only name
the average Jamaican has for a par-
ticular part of the year is ‘‘ the
Optober season,†which in reality is
the beginning of Autumn when rains
are plentiful.
Any one who his studied the differ.
ences of the seasons, will find that
there are more facts worthy of
notice, coanected with “the ®easons
of Jamaica than would at first be
emn with we have ourregu
lar Spring, Summer, Autumn and
Winter, just the same as denizens
of more northernly latitudes We
are at present experiencing our
Winter which is usually distinguish
ed by the strong harsh breezes,
which blow all day long, accom
panied by clouds of cust which seri
ously irritate one’s eyes and neces
sitate the wearing of black gougles.
At night this changes to a chilly,
sickly wind into’ which ao lady
would venture without her cape or
woollen shawl. Sometimes we ex-
perience what is generally termed a
“« Norther,†but which might be
truly called one of our ‘‘ cold snaps,â€
During the last cold snap which
prevailed in Kiggston a few weeks
_ &go, it was a common sight tosee
gentlemen entering the Théatre
wearing a light over-coat or :acin-
tosh.
- If proper care is not taken of
one’s self during the Winter, sick-
wess is almost “sure to follow ‘any

INTERESTING INFORMATION.
When an officer is in receipt of
‘‘retired pay†it means, that he has
‘quitted the Service, but an officer
in the ‘‘half-pay†list is considered
to be still ‘‘ serving,†even thou;
“unemployed.†Time cn
while unemployed is, however, limited
as counting ‘‘service†towards re-
tirement on retired pay or with gra-
tuity—to one year in case of ill-health,
or two years if placed on half-pay on
reduction of corps or promotion to
half-pay. An officer with nineteen
years’ service is permitted to retire
i i and officers
who joined prior to Ist January, 1887,
are given the benefit of a former war-
rant enabling them to retire after
twelve yer - service, and claim re-
tired pay or a pratuity in a lump sum.
The scale of retired pay in ordinary
cases is ag follows:
YON iG On E ed
Lieutenant-colo-
nel or colinel; £2.0to £485; major
(after twenty-five years’ service),
£200; all other cases , £120, The
above scale applies to volantary re-
tirement only. Another seale applies
when officers are compulsorily retired
on account of age, etc.; Colovel,
£420 to £500; lieutenant colonel,
£365 .to £457; major, £3€0; other
eases £200. The ‘‘age†clause ex-
els officers as follows: Captain to.
ieutenant, 45 ; major, 48; lieutenant-
colonel, 55; colonel, 57; major-gen-

The beautiful -ycllow of the golden

is a fitting subject for the painter’s

remind the traveller that now is har-
vest time in these parts and autumn
is not yet over. Had it not been for
the giant cotton trees, destitute of
leavee and standing head and shoul-
der above the other trees, having cast
off their foliage for the winter, one
could never dream that we are in the
depths of winter. The air so bracing
at an almost uniform temperature

We have been informed that the
members of tle Central St.

a branch of the Union formed at An-

in the right direction, and we have no
donbt that their efforts will be crown-
ed with success. Now this is just
what every association should do. Les

A SMALL WAGE
for females who ina large number of
instances have to pay rent. To live
on a much smaller wage (if permitted)
will be extremely hard, but to be
turned out.of employment will be the
hardest thing they will meet with.
It is a settled thing that several
teachers ‘will suffer in the extreme,
and therefore it becomes the duty of

be done to ameliorate the conditions

1, 2. “It is not reason that we should
leave the word of God and serve tables.â€
This was the decision of the twelve when
there began to be some murmuring among
the disciples concerning the daily minis-
tration of things temporal. As the nuim-
ber of the disciples multiplied it could
hardly be expected that in these newborn
babes there would not be manifest some
phases of the old nature, some of the

Peter, James and John might remember
quite a number of things in their own
lives, even after they had been a year or
two with Christ, which were of the flesh
and not of the spirit: so it is to be hoped
that while they determined that they
could not take time to see to these seem-
ingly unspiritual affairs they were patient
with the murmurers.

large proprietors. But;briefly this
is because the small settler must
use his little for all it ie worth,
and {tlus he improves it great-
ly ; while the contrary is the state
of affairs with the bis propri¢tor ;
_but the Government did net con-
sider it fair to calculate -from
this value the rental waue of small
holdings at the same rate as in the
case of big properties, that is, ten
percent. The Government’s idea,
we should inention, was to make
gross valuation the ‘basis, and
takiug 10 per cent. of that ae the

in some striking changes, £25

The net result will be -a
large reduction |of taxes on
|small property holders “and an
of Increagev on properties
of large
value. Properties that have been
well cultivated in the past and
have been paying the tax on
caltivation, will have little if any
increase. The increase will fall
heaviest on large properties that
have lain uncultivated. These re-
marks and explanations place
the gist of the matter before our
readers. We cannot impress on
them too strongly how serious a
juncture it is for the Island
generally, and the small holder
specially. The Goverament’s’pro-
posals will give the poor men,
who are small landowners, re-
lief ; but that there will be a
fight in grim earnest agesinst
them by the big owners there
is not a doubt. Public mee

THE LETTER:
BUT KILL THE SPIRIT,
This famous educatioual éstablish-
ment in Barbados is not over its
troubles yet. The Advocate says its
existence is seriously threatened. The
sand in ite glass is nearly run out.
Our contemporary deals faithfully
with the entire subject. £160 is paid
annually to Codsington fiom the
Public Tieasury for scholarships, but,
says the Advocvie, it is a question
whether we are getting an adequate
return forthe money. The teaching
staff ir inadequate, there is no mathe-
matical tutor: and so small are the
attractions the college offers as a seat
of learning that only five students are
now in residence.
The College was established by
funds left by General Codrington. Of
these the 5. P. G. are trustees and
“itis the nairow interpretation the
S. P. G. have placed upon the terms
of the trust, that has been so fatal to
Codrington.â€
In 1890, the coliege was at such a
low ebb that the trustees « nnounced
that they would have to close. Mr.
Arthur Ponsonby, of the West India
Committee opened a fund and sue
ceeded in raising sufficient to tide over
the difficulties, and ensure the work-
ing of the institution for several years
longer.
The West India Committee sug-
gested making Codrington a centre for
the study of tropical diseases, in con-
nection with the schools formed for
that purpose in England. The will
uf the Founder, expressly states that
the professors and scholars thall be
obliged to study and practice physics
and chirugery as well as divinity. The
reply showed that the 8S. P. G. had
rofited little by experience. The
est India Committce were curtly
informed that the idea of connecting
a school of tropical medicine im any
way with Codrington could not b
entertained.
The West India Committee had,
to be satisfied with this bat many
fostered the hope that the trustees
might yet be brought to senses their.
Among these were Archbishop Nuttall.
| Fully acquainted with the require-
ments of tnes*tuation, he drew up a
revolutionary alterations, sabe Ni
all the modifications necessary for Phe
proper working of the college, and
laid it before the Society. He had
reason to believe that, if the changes
advocated were made, the governments
of the various colonies interested
would share in strengthening the
college by establishing government
scholarships, and that in this, and also
in @ more direct manner, the govern-
ment of Barbados would furnish con
siderable permanent financial assist-
ance. In fact the Archbishop made
it clear that these governments, having
been repeatedly snubbed by the
Society, tor the Propnyation of the
Gospel, had ‘«eppealed to him and
secured his, services tor re-opening
negotiations*ta save the: collere from
ite.tru & he concluding sentences
of Archbishvp .Nyttall’s lecter are
well worth quoting here. ‘* The:
present,†be write, “though a time
‘in the Weet Indies, is also a time for
the formation of new plans to meet
new circumstances. If 1 am not
wholly mistaken in my forecast of the
future, a great deal:oi the intellectyal,
aoral and religious progress among
the intelligent. elagses, will depend. on
the decision tobe arrived at whether
Codrington College is to only a small
theological géminary, or ito become
mould the higher education*in sound
learning, in morals and in religion,
of the intelligent laity of a great part
of the West Indies.†The 'S 1. G.
Lowever, remained as regardless. of
the fureble argaments of: the: Arch
bishop as they had been aunnioved by
the attempted persuasions from other
quarters, They have continued to cling
to the letter of the trust apd they liave
ignored whe “spirii of the obligations | of Paris pow stands at

have fulfilled it to the letter. And
Codrington College will remain but

The Prison Farm.
Last year Februsrs the proposal
to eatablish a Prison Farm on St.

in the Council, the Elected Members

Jand would do as well. Consequently
Hoy Hole Pen was cleaned by prison
labour, and experimented upon, but
was found to be unsuitable. Inspec-
tor Wrie'' »o< therefore called upon
to tous. au estimate of profit of
growing provisions on St. Jago Park.
Tbis in his opinion amounts to £529
a year, and if potatoes be planted in
preference than yams to £950. The
produce would be consumed in the
prison and other public institutions.

done a great thing and done it well,
It has concinded an alliance with Jap.
an, and so well was the secret kept
that none knew of it till it was an
wounced in Parliament. The chief
aim is to preserve China and Corea
fcom being cut up and devoured. The
alliance is for five years, or longer if
either party is then actually at war
with other Powers. Britain and
Japan renounce any selfish design on
China, and will act together in tryin
to save her from the designs of others,

rising to the call of the chairman, Dr.
Chapman expressed bis pleasure in:
being t, ae be is not only an
active Endeavourer, butua Trustee of
the United Society. He had attended
almost all the International Conven-
tions, but be had never had more
pleasure in attending any meeting
than he experienced that evening.
Christian Endeavour had passed bot
the experimental age, and the age
when its work could be adequately re
nted by banners and enth i
t had reached the period of work.
- The doctor uses few if any tricks of
oratory, but his -supreme intenseness
commands attention, and he had it.
We -have never heard any Christian
Endeavour address more impressively
delivered nor more eagerly received
Dr.’ Chapman was prepared to ad'-
dressed avowed Christians and the
text nbout which he clustered his re-
marks was ‘‘Have ye received the
showed by ilustration what tue
spirit-filled life will be; one oi the
most striking, being that of a young
woman redeemed from the lowest
haunte of vice, who in turn became a
soul-winner. ‘‘ Was she beautiful 2â€
the speaker asked. The reply was
“no not ordinarily ; but when on one
occasion, I eaw her kneeling in a
pest hole of vice, surrounded by sin-
hardened men, supplicating God’s
mercy upon their sin stained souls, her
face was the face of an angel, the
most benutifni I ever saw.â€
As the speaker was about to re-
sume his seat, he asked that there
might be three minutes’ ect silence;
and then sat down. There was no
applanse; but we undertake to say
that the address will bave greater
effect andin more lives, than many a
speech cheered te the echo. .
What Jamnica needs at the present
jancture is men ‘of money and brains
and manufacturies but -what she
must have, if; her salvation in the
cwidest sense, if to be effected, is at
Jeast one man (filled with God’s
Spirit.

St. Michael’s, Kingston, looked very

tremely tasteful and the musical
of the servica, with Mr. C. B.

to be desired. Mr. J. H. MePhail,
uncle of the bride, led her to the
altar, and Mrs. Massy, her mother

They were
daintily and prettily attired. The
bride looked very charming in a gown
of white silk, trimmed with crepe

ing veil.- Mr, Donald Perkins was
bestman. There was a large attend-
ance of the friends ofthe bride and
bridegroom to witness the ceremony.
