A Swedish Poem.
It matters little where I was born,
If my parents were rich or poor ;
Whether they shrank at the cold world’s scorn
0r walked in the pride of wealth secure.
But whether I live an honest man,
And hold my integrity firm in my clutch.
I tell you, my brother, plain as I am,
It matters much i
It matters little howflong I stay
In a world of sorrow, sin, and care;
Whether in youth I am called away,
Or live till my bones and pate are bare.
Bit whether I do the best that I can,
To soften the weight of adversity's touch
0.1 the faded check of my fellow-mar,
It matters much I
It matters little where be my grave,
0n land or on sea;
3] purliug brook or ’neath stormy wave,
It matters little or naught to me.
But whether the angel Death comes down,
And marks my brow with his loving touch
A: one that shall wear the victor's crown,
' It matters much i

In a recent issue of this paper a full report
was given of a series of meetings, held in
Danbury, Stamford, Norwalk, and South
Norwalk, under the auspices of the W. C.
T. U., by Mrs. McClees, Pres. of the West-
c‘aester 00., N. Y., W. C. T. U.
Mrs. McClees having called upon the mem-
bers of the Norwalk School Board to obtain
permission to appoint a special meeting be-
fore the Board, in order to present the ques-
tion of introducing the scientific study of
temperance into our schools, Tuesday even-
ing, Sept. 19, was appointed. Mrs. McClees
Mrs. Treadwell, Pres. of W. C. T. U. of the
State and Mrs. Buell, Cor. Sec. of the State
and National W. C. T. U., accompanied by a
large number of ladies in the temperance
work, went at the appointed hour to the
ofi‘ice of Lawyer Seymour.
Only three members of the Board being
present no action could be taken upon the
question. The above named ladies presented
their cause by discussion and arguments.
The address of Mrs. McClees is given here
in full.
To the School Visitors of Norwalk and South
Nomalle :
GaeraMan :—By your courtesy, these
representative women connected with the
Christian Temperance Union, are met to-
gether at this special meeting of your Board.
Allow me, on behalf of a constituency num-
bering 50,000 paying members, the largest .
associated body of women in the world, to
thank you for this favor extended to us. It
is an evidence to our minds, that you fill
the position to which you have been called
by the suffrage of this town worthily,
in that you appreciate our desire to serve the
cause we love so well. That you have not
waited for a petition, in due form, contain-
ing the signatures of twelve responsible men,
according to a statutory enactment of your
state, is a proof that the great cause of tem-
perance lies near your hearts; and to us is
augury of success for the object, which has
brought us into your presence.
We come asking no new thing, requesting
merely that you will carry out the recomend-
ations of your State Board of Education,that
temperance instruction shall be given in the
schools under your supervision.
I quote an extract from the Report of State
Board of Education. .
“The subject of hygiene should be taught
in our schools. To be prepared for giving
proper lessons on this subject, our teachers
should master some such work as Dr. Rich-
ardson’s Temperance Lesson Book. Our
children should early learn that alcohol is a
great reducer of the power of life, and a di-
rect poison to the minute blood-vessels of
the entire system, and that it satisfies no nat-
ural appetite, but creates and intensifies an
unnatural thirst, which often completely en-
claves its victim.
Besides this high authority, Chief Justice
Park says, in a letter written last January,
to the Joint Standing Committee on Educa-
tion, “I would begin with children while at
school, to teach them the terrible eflects of
intemperance, and I think the State should
furnish suitable teaching for this purpose ;
and thus save hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars in the end."
President Porter of Yale College gave ex.
pression to his views on this subject to the
same Committee, as follows : I have no doubt
that the State in its public schools ought to
give instruction in respect to those duties
and usual relations which are generally ac-
knowledged to be essential to the welfare of
the commonwealth. It follows that the
State has the right and is under the obliga-
tion to give such instruction."
Many other distinguished men, represent-
ing the clergy as well as the legal and educa-
tional professions have given utterance to
their convictions, that it is the dictate of self-
preuraatz'on that the State should seek to
- teach the natural effect of, alcohol upon the
processes of animal life." Nothing can be
more forcible on this point than the strong
language of the late Dr. Holland, when he
says, “It is a cruel thing to educate a boy in
Iuch a way that he has no adequate idea of
the dangers that beset his path. It is a mean
thing to send a boy out to take his place in
society without understanding the relations
of temperance to his own safety and pros-
perity, and to the safety and prosperity of
society." May we not, as women, having
girls in our homes and in the schools, to be
educated, join in this indignant protest, and
say it is a cruel and a mean thing to give our
daughters and the sisters of our boys, no ad-
equate idea of the dangers that beset their
paths in life.
When history discloses the fact to us that
In the prospcrOus days of the Roman Empire
the law prohibited indulgence in intoxicating
Wine to her women, lest by inheritance, a
corrupting taint should be transmitted to the
boys whom the State would make Samsons
in physical strength and Daniels in states-
mlnsbip, shall we in this boasted age of civ-
ilization, regard less the interests of those
oouunitted to our care?
Gentlemen, we are induced to earnestness
in this appeal, from the facts, which we have
opportunites of witnessing us in the debasing
cfiects of intoxicants upon our own sex.
We want, therefore, our girls to be intel-
ligent upon this subject as well as our boys.
We are studying the laws of life and health,
and we want our children to become diligent
students of these divinely given laws : not
merely to hear from the lips of the teachers
at intervals where they may chance to find a
few minutes of time already crowded with
various studies; rather, we consider this
subject of such immense importance, that
we respectfully urge the introduction of a
Text-Book to take its place in the curricu-
lum of daily or weekly course of study. In
any branch or department of knowledge,it is
an ascertained fact, that not lunch proficien-
cy is attained, except by regular and system-
atic teaching.
“The stork is a sacred bird in Holland,
and is protected by her laws, because it de-
stroys those insects which would undermine
the dykcs and let the sea again overwhelm
the rich fields of the Netherlands”. So, let
us by education, the great preserver of our
' civil liberties, destroy the popular fallacies
with regard to intoxicants, which would
threaten to overwhelm our beloved country.

The ignorance of some Americans about
Witory of their country should make
them modest in taking foreigners to task for
unfamiliarity with it. A Lancaster (Pa)
man, in driving an Altoona man about the
town, showed him the former home of James
Buchanan. “Who’s James Buchanan 1’"
said the Altoona man. “Is it possible you
never heard that he was once President of
the United States ?" asked his friend. "Oh,
} I had forgotten," said the Altoona man;
“what’s he doing now a" And he wasn’t a

General W. W. Dudley, commissioner of
pensions,‘ returned from his New England
tripa day or two ago and at once resumed
the active duties of his office. The employ-
ment of so many new clerks necessarily de-
volves upon the old employee a great deal of
extra work in the way of training the new
appointees in the routine of their positions,
and for some time to come it is not likely
that there will be any marked increase in the
number of claims adjusted from week to
week. It requires nearly if not quite six
months’ steady experience to make a capable
examiner out of a new appointee, and in the
mean time he is in one sense a cog on the
machinery of the otllce. Commissioner Dud-
ley’s annual report of the operations of the
pension bureau for the fiscal year, ending
June 30, 1882, is now being prepared for
transmission to the secretary of the interior.
The following statit tics, taken from the oili-
cial figures, embrace the principal points of
interest: During the fiscal year ended J use
30, 40,939 original claims for pensions and
34,148 claims for increase of pensions were
filed, ,making the total number of claims
filed 75.081 There were allowed during
the year 27,664 original applications, and
10,231 for increase of pensions received fa-
vorable action. The total number of claims
rejected, including the claims for increase of
pensions, was 21,295, making the total dis-
posed of 59,190. There remain pending
269,678 original applications and 21,288 ap-
plications for increase of pension. These
figures, however, do not include _75,268
claims which are on the rejected files of the
office. The total amount paid for pensions
during the year, including the cost of dis-
bursements, was $54,296,280.54. The total
number of pensioners on the roll is 286,697,
a gain over the preceding year of 16,867.
The total amount paid by the government
for pensions from 1791 to 1861 was $81,
480,455.50. The total amount paid from
1861 to J une 30, 1882, $550,641,32475. Out
of this amount, and since 1871, $25.234,232.-
85 has been paid to the survivors of the war
of 1812, and to the widows of those who
served during that;war. Deducting the latter
amount, and estimating that which may have
been paid to pensioners on account of the
wars prior to 1861 and 1864, $530,000,000
have been disbursed on account of pensions.
In the distribution of pensioners now on the
roll they are classified as follows: Invalids,
175,499; widows,minors and department rel-
atives, 78,403; survivors of the war of 1812,
7,134; widows, 23,661.
Bridgeport’s Hospital to be
Erected.
Dr. G. F. Lewis, treasurer of the Bridge-
port hospital fund, received the $50,000 ap-
propriated by the State toward the building
of the hospital from Hartford yesterday
morning. The hospital fund amounts now
to $100,000, and the success of the hospital
project is assured. The site for the new
hospital has been secured, and nothing new
remains to be done except to decide upon the
plans, award the contracts and start the
builders. The Standard says: “The com-
mittee will probably decide to erect a cen-
tral building two or three stories in height
to be‘ occupied by the administrative force
of the hospital. It will contain the physi-
cian’s ofiices, the parlors, kitchens, laundries
drug roomzand other rooms of that charac-
ter. Tee other building will probably be one
story. The site is something over 500 feet
front, and by placing the buildings seventy-
five feet apart there will be ample room for
all the accommodations required. It is pro-
posed to put up buildings enough at the start
to accommodate forty or fifty patients, and
then add new buildings as the city grows
and they are required. It is thought that
room for forty or fifty patients will be all the
city will require until it is about doubled in
size. The remainder of the ground will be
used for gardens and ornamental purposes
until it is required for more buildings. The
building committee will finish their work
as soon as practicable, and the work of
erecting the buildings will then be pushed
forward. .

Old Days ln-New York.
“It was necessary in those good old times‘
said the octogenarian merchant, “to have in
every family a tinder box and steel, and in
the morning if the§tinder was too damp to be
ignited,the servant-girl had to run to a neigh-
bor who was an early riser and borrow a
shovelful of live coals. The only matches
in use were wood-shaving that had been
curled up and dipped in brimstone, but these
were lighted from a tinder-box; even loco-
foco matches had not come into existence.
When by and by the latter appeared their
popularity was greatly increased by a polit-
ical incident. At a meeting in Tammany
hall, Isaac L. Varian in the chair, and my- .
self among the vice-presidents, there was a
slight row; a rush was made to remove the
officers, which, being unsuccessful, the lights
were put out to force an adjournment. An
active democrat proceeded immediately to
light up by using locofoco matches, which
he had taken from his pocket. By the aid
of these matches business was resumed (al.
though some of us the next day had to buy
new suits of clothes,) and in a short time the
whole democratic part y were known as
L-icot'ocos. A tinman, who had alarge store
on Nassau street, near Maiden Lane, was the
filst New Yorker to make a display of illum-
inating his premises with gas, and hundreds
of persons visited his place every evening to
view the brilliant light. The first gas com-
pany erected its works at the southeast
corner of Hester and Orange streets. In
earlier days it was customary for smokers of
fine Havana cigars to carry a burning-glass
in their pockets, and when the sun shone to
light them with the instrument, a method
known in some quarters as the ‘Benjamin
Franklin electric lighting.’ In those days
house keepers who used the brackish water
furnished in wooden pipes by the Manhattan
Water works at the corner of Reade and
Elm streets, were compelled to scour the
insides of their tea-kettles about once a month
in order to remove the coating formed by the
boiling of the watcr."—-New York Evening
Post.

Odd Fellows at Baltimore. .
The sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows
met at Baltimore, 27 grand lodges, and 26
grand cucampments being represented. The
grand sire made this report: Grand lodges
20; subordinate lodges 7,308, increase 136;
grand encampments 41 ; increase 1, subord-
inate cncampments 1.339, decrease 10; lodge
initiation 46,560, increase 4.016; lodge
members 475,948, increase 19,006; encamp—
ment members, 80,643, increase 1,143; total
relief $5,831,171, increase $135,102; total
revenue $4,854,877, increase $236,030. The
general outlook is favorable though in some
quarters the. order is stagnant, owing to
causes that cannot at present be controlled.
In Australia the order is highly prosperous;
in Chili the outlook is encouraging; in Den.
mark and Germany the lodges are in good
condition and prospering as well as could be
reasonably expected; in Switzerland little
progress_has been made, and in the Nether-
lands the outlook is not assuring. In the
Sandwich Islands the order is prosperous.
Lodges have been established in the city of
Mexico. A petition was presented from the
grand lodge of Denmark to withdraw from
the grand lodge of Germany and be placed
in the jurisdiction of this grand lodge.
Providence, R. I.. was selected as the place
. for holding the session of 1882. The De
Soto lodge of Springfield, Mass, went to
Baltimore, Monday night to exemplify the
work of the new ritual, they having the rep-
utatidn of being the best work lodge in the
order. The delegates from this state were
J. S. Hungerford of New Haven, and James
Craig of Middletown, from the Grand En-
campment, and S. W. Pond of New Haven,
and E. J. Hill of Norwalk, from the Grand
Lodge.

Life in a Montana Frontier Town
The picturesque features of life in a West-
ern Montana town life Missoula are best seen
as evening approaches. Crowds of roughly
clad men gather around the doors of the
drinking-saloons. A group of Indians, who
have been squatting on the sidewalk for two
hours playing some mysterious game of
.cards of their own invention, breaks up.
One of the squaws throws the cards into the
street, which is already decorated from and
to and with similar relics of other games.
Another swings a baby upon her back, ties
a shawl around it and herself, secures the
child with a strap buckled across her chest,
and strides off, her moccasined feet toeing
inward in the traditional Indian fashion.
She wears a gown made of a scarlet calico
bed-quilt, with leggings of some blue stufi;
but she has somehow managed ito get a civ-
ilized dress for the child. They all go of!
to their' camp on the hill near by. Some
blue-coated soldiers from the neighboring
military post, remembering the roll-call at
sunset, swing themselves upon their horses
and go galloping off, a little the worse for
'the bad whisky they have been drinking in
the saloons. A miner in blue woolen shirt
and brown canvas trousers with a hat of as-
tonishing dimensions and a heard of a year’s
growth, trots up the street on a mule, and
with droll oaths and shuffling talk, offers the
animal for sale to the crowd of loungers on
the hotel piazza. No one wants to buy, and,
after providing a deal of laughter, the miner
gives his ultimatum: “I’ll hitch the critter
to one of them piazzar posts, and if he don‘t
pull it down you may have him." This
generous offer is declined by the landlord;
and the miner rides off, declaring that he
has not a solitary four-bit piece to pay for
his supper, and is bound to sell the mule to
somebody.
Toward nightfall the whole male popula-
tion seems to be in the street, save the busy
Chinamen in the laundries, who keep on
sprinkling clothes by blowing water out of
their mouths. Early or late, .you will find
these industrious little yellow men at work.
One shufiies hack auditorth from the pump,
carrying water for the morning wash in old
coal-oil cans hung to a stick balanced across
his shoulders. More Indians now“—a buck"
and two squaws, leading ponies heavily laden
with tent, clothes, and buffalo robes. A rope
tied around {a :pony’s lower jaw is the ordi-
nary halter and bridle of the Indians. These
people want to buy some article at the sad-
dler’s shop. They do not go in, but stare
through the windows for five minutes. The
saddler, knowing the Indian way of dealing,
pays no attention to them. After a while
they all sit down on the ground in front of
the shop, Perhaps a quarter of an hour
passes beforethe saddler asks what they want.
If he had noticed them at first they would
have gone away without buying—The 0m-
tiny.

Effect of VotlrE—wnlsky Out.
Rev. A. M. Richardson Lawrence. Kan-
sas, writes to the Oomregatrbnalist : “There
has been a marked increase in the material
and financial prosperity of the State under
prohibition. Instead _of paying out $6,260,-
000 as the annual cost of its liquor bill, Kan-
sas has saved more than one-half that
amount for legitimate uses. While Illinois
paid about 86 so per capita for Government
tax on spirits, Kansas only paid twelve
cents, and Maine where prohibition has so
signally failed (1’) paid three cents per headl
There has been a marked advance in the
price of real estate during the last year. In
a letter recently received from Governor St.
John, he says: “The increase in the valua-
tion of personal property for 1881 over 1880
was $10,248,000. I think the assessment of
1882 will show an ‘iucrehso over 1881 of
nearly, if not quite, $20,000,000. The taxes
for 1881, notwithstanding the short crops,
were paid up more closely than they have
been for years. The average number of
acres of school lands, sold each business
day, has increased from 151 to 210. Ran-
ass was never so prosperous as she is today,
and prohibition is growing stronger with the
people every day. Nor has immigration
fallen off, as was so confidently predicted.
Since November, 1880, when the amend-
ment was adopted, no less than 140,000 peo-
ple have settled in Kansas. And they have
been of the better class, with more means
than in former years. A gentleman came to
Franklyn County last year and invested $50-
000. “Just because whisky had been voted
out,” he said.

The Temperance Issue in Ohio.
The temperance question will be an im-
Ohio this Fall. The recent.Brewer's Con-
vention held in Cincinnati has had thejefiiect
of forcing the issue. The members of this
body did not hesitate to say that they would
oppose any man for political position who
was in sympathy with the temperance
movement. Every step looking for the
regulation or taxation of the liquor business
is regarded bi these brewers as an infringe.
ment of their personal rights and privileges
and as such is to be opposed bitterly. Thus
the lines will be strongly drawn, and the
issue squarely made whether or Inot the
liquor interests shall control the State of
Ohio. Is it abusiness of such overwhelm-
ing importance that it has rights over which
the people have no control? Is its relation
to society such as to demand for it peculiar
privileges not extended to other business in-
terests. Is it such a sacred business that the
law dare not touch it ? True, the liquor
men have the right to'say, just as other citi-
zens, for whom their votes shall be cast, and
mor e independent element in the State,
which will be equally firm in resisting the
aggressive assumptions of the liquor element.
If this feeling is once aroused, and the lines
tightly drawn, it is clear upon whose side
the victory will rest.

The Commission Bill—Progress
ot Prohlbltlon.
Ex— Governor Dingley of Maine, in a note
from Washington dated the 7th ult., refer-
ing ,to the Commission bill pending in the
House of Representatives, says: “We can-
not reach the Commission bill this season,
but can probably get at it early next ses-
sion." He adds: “The victory in Ohio is
agrand thing for prohibition and temper-
ance. The good work progresses, and, I
believe, is destined to progress in the future
much more rapidly than in the past. I am
receiving letters almost daily from all parts
of the Union, inquiring as to the success of
prohibition in Maine, which indicates that
the public mind is awake on the question as
never before.”—-Natz'onal Temperance Advo-
cote.

How a Smoker got a. Home.
Mr. L. P. Hubbard, of New York thus
relates hisexperience as a “tobacconist :"
I began to chew at the age of twelve. A
few years :later I commenced smoking. The
practice grew upon me till I was smoking a
' large portion of the time except when asleep.
At length I united with the Church, and
very soon abandoned the filthy habit of
chewing tobacco. I still, however, enjoyed
the cigar.
Just at that time I met a friend who, with
a countenance beaming with love, said, “It
don’t look well to see a member of the church
smoking.” “ You are right,” said I, and tak-
ing the cigar from my mouth threw it into
the gutter. That was the last cigar I ever
smoked. I was emancipated from a slavery
worse that Egyptian bondage. '
I now deposited the money I had been so
long squandering for tobacco, in the Sea-
man’s Bank for Savings. I will tell the
boys what I did with it, that they may see
how unwifie and inexpedient it is to com-
mence the expensive, demoralizing habit of
smoking or chewing tobacco.
We had long lived in the city, but the an-
nual visit of thee children to their grand-
father's made them long for a home among
the green fields. I found a very pleasant
place for sale. There was over two acres
of land, with abundant shade and fruit
trees, a good garden, a fine view of Long
Island Sound-wear the academy, churches,
and schools, and a convenient distance
from New York. The cigar money was
drawn upon to purchase the place, and it is
mine.
I wish the boys who are tempted to
smoke could see how the children enjoy
their new home, as they watch the great
steamers and the vessels with their white
sails as they course along the Sound.
Sometimes over a hundred are seen atone
view.
Just before or after a storm we hear vcry
distinctly the roar of old Ocean. It is then
that we think of the perils of the sea, and
realize the dangers to which the brave sailor
are exposed. The children are also inter-
ested in the horse, cow, calf, and chickens.
They enjoy their plays and sports on the
green grass, which give them health and
happiness. '
My smoking was moderate compared with
that of many, only six cigars a day at 6-1-4
cents each, equal to $136 50 per annum,
which, at 7 per cent. interest for forty-nine
years amounts to the small fortune of $51,-
719.99. This has afforded means for the ed-
cuation of my children, with an appropriate
allowance for benevolent objects.
Great as this saving has been, it is not to
be compared with improved health, a clear
head, and a steady hand at the age of three-
score and ten, and entire freedom from de-
sire for tobacco in any form.
m
It has been said contemptuously that to-
hence does a Darwinian service by killing of!
those who are of least service to the world,
in order that the fittest may survive. But
this is by no means the truth. Senator
Hill, of Georgia, was too valuable a man to
be killed off by tobacco. There are men
' ,and boys on every side of us, now destroy-
' ing themselves with tobacco, who are too
good to lose. Tobacco kills some very
good people; and it lowers the efficiency and
attractiveness of some of the best of those
.vzr'liom it does not Elli—The Sunday School

portant issue of the politic II campaign in .
Mr. Wm. Westfall,
ornucheu Co., N. I, 80yenrs of use,
Infl'ered continually for many years
from Stone 1n the Bladder.
Great I: e and painful disease are a sad combi-
nation. ct Mr. William Westtall, formerl of
Rock Ulty, Duchess (10.. N. Y., now of Wash ng-
ton Hollow. in the same county, came to the of-
fice of Dr.Davld Kenned , the eminent Physi-
cian and Surgecnpr Ron out, N. Y., some time
since, in a condition to excite the symsathy of
the most cold-blooded and hard-hearts person
in the world. We say he came—he was, rather,
carried to the Doctor’s otllce, for he was totally
helpless, and bore the wei ht of 80 years besides.
He had suffered long from etention ofUl-ino,and
had all the symptonsfl of on aggravated case of
calculus formations in the bladder. The usual
instrumental examinations revealed the presence
in the bladder of a urlnar calculus of uncommon
size. Dr. Kennedy frank ' told Mr.WcstfaIl that
owing to his age and debt ity, an operation was
out o the question, but that he could, by the re-
soription of “Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy,’ to-
gether with local treatment, make him comfort-
able and leave him to live out all his days. The
outcome of this was that the patient enjoys good
health to this day.
The non-on- why
Dr.Kennedy’s "Favorite Remedy” is being ex-
tensively used by our people are as follows: It is
a comb nation of vegetable alterativcs. It is
pleasant to the taste, adapted to both sexes and
all at ca, is effective [It aflordiniimmediatc relief
in al cases of Kidney troubles, iver Complaints,
Constipation of the Bowels, and dcraugemcnts
peculiar to women. At the same time purifies
the blood, thus giving tone and strength to the

Musings In the Twilight.
In the twilight alone I am sitting,
And fast through my memory are flitting,
The dreams of youth.
The future is smiling before me,
And hope's bright visions float o’er me—
Shall I doubt their truth ?
I know that my hopes may prove bubbles,
Too frail to endure,
And thick-strewn be the cares and the troub-
lcs
That life has in store.
But ’is best we know not the sorrow
That comes with a longed-for to-inorrow,
And the anguish and care :
If the veil from my future were lifted,
Perhaps at the sight I had drifted.
Down into despair;
If I knew all the woes that awaited
My hurrying feet,
My pleasures might oftener be freightcd
With bitter than sweet.
And yet, though my life has been lonely,
Some flowers I have plucked that could only
From trials have sprung;
Some joys I have known that did borrow
Their brightness from contrast with sorrow
That over me hung.
For the moonbeams are brighter in seeming
When clouds are gone by,
If only a moment their gleaming
Be hid from the eye.
Sad indeed would be Life’s dewy morning
If, all Hope’sbright promises scorning,
O’erburdened with fears,
We saw but the woe and the sorrow
That would come to our hearts on the mor-
row,
The sighs and the tears.
So ’tis best that we may not discover
What fate hath in store,
Nor lift up the veil that hangs over
What lieth before.

Frcm experiments made with various
disinfecting substances upon vaccine virus,
Dr. G. M. Sternberg, U. S. A. surgeon, has
concluded that chlorine, sulphurous acid
and nitrous acid are reliable disinfectants in
the proportion of one volume to one hun-
dred volumes of air. In a moist atmosphere
a considerably smdller proportion might be
effective. He considers the use of carbolic
acid as a disinfectant to be impracticable on
account of the high cost of the pure acid and
the large quantity necessary to ensure
thorough results.
An English clergyman, Rev. W. Hough-
son, has made a study of the stomachs of
sea-fishes with a view of learning the rela-
tions which exist between the food of the
various species and the quality of their flesh,
as well as the bearing of their food-supplies
upon distribution and migration. His in-
vestigations have thus far been chiefly con-
fined to North Sea fishes. He finds that
whitebait and mackerel live largely upon
small crustaceans, and believes that the rich
quality of the herring’s flesh is due to the
same nutritious food.
The soy bean (Soja chpz'de) approaches
more nearly to animal food in its proximate
composition than any other known vegetable
production, being singularly rich in fat and"
in albuminoids. This bean forms an im-
portant article of food in Japan and China,
where a dozen or more varities are known.
Of late it has attracted considerable attention
in Europe, and numerous attempts have been
made to acclimatize it in several European
countries, some of gthe experiments being
reported tolerably successful.
At a meeting of the association of Swiss
Geographical Societies lately held in Ge-
neva, Herr Riniker advanced the opinion
that fcrests may serve as a safeguard
against ,hailstorms.! In support of this
theory he adduced a remarkable observation
to the effect that hail was unknown in the
valleys at the foot of the wood-covered
Lindenberge Mountains until two wide gaps
were made in the forest about twenty years
ago; hailstorms then became frequent, but
ceased to appear after the open spaces were
closed by a new lot of trees. As an expla-
nation of the phenomenon, Herr Riniker
suggests that, as hail-clouds are saturated
with positive electricity and trees conduct
from the earth negative electricity, the
meeting of the two currents developes suf-
ficient heat to either prevent the formation
of hailstones or to melt them in the clouds.
At the summit of the Eiffel (8,508 feet
high) Capt. Abney has found the spectrum
of the sun to be the same as in London, but
there is a vast diminution of light as well as
of aqueous vapor. The quantity of alcohol
and benzine in the atmosphere was found to
be much greater at that altitude than at sea-
level, which leads Capt. Abney to conclude
that these substances come to us from the
space.
The fifteen years’s research of the British
Association’s Committee on Underground
Temperature shows as the main result at-
tained, that the temperature, on a wide av-
erage, increases downward at the rate of one
Fahrenheit degree for every sixty-four feet.
It has been demonstrated at Havre that
the use of the telephone between ships in the
harbor and town is practicable even in rough
weather. .
With a new apparatus for ascertaining the
velocity of railway trains, a train weighing
125 tons and traveling at a speed of forty-
five miles an hour has been found to run a
few feet more than five miles after steam had
been shut off. The track was level and the

The constant appearance of a minute
quantity of copper in bread led a European
chemist to make a careful examination of
wheat, when in a million parts of the grain
he found nine and one-fourth parts of metal-
lic copper. A somewhat larger proportion of
the metal was found in cats.
A Belgian physicist, Mons. Melsens,
proposes forming a cage of rods over build-
ings to ensure absolute safety from lightning.
He has shown by late experiments that the
most powerful discharges from a Leyden
battery could not injure a living animal
inclosed in a hollow sphere of metallic

Mr. W. B. Wicken says that the large
wart-like glands on the head and back of
the toad secrete a thick, yellowish-white
fluid of an exceedingly acrid and offensive
nature. If these glands are squeezed or
handled roughly, the secretion is exuded
through a number of pin-like pores in the
This fact is doubtless
what gave the toad its reputation as a veno-
mous reptile.

“Do you think so, darling?” “Yes, said
the girl, passing her plate for more pic and
smiling archly as she spoke, “kisses and
embraces and fair words are very pleasant
things—sweat lips and warm arms and lov-
ing eyes—but truth and sincerity and loyalty
and purity are much fairer and rarer.”
