ADVERTISENIENT.I —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Dropsical Swellings.—Whatever may be the remote cause of collections of water in the human body it must be pru dent to disperse them as soon as possible. The readiest means of accomplishing this end aro supplied by using Holloway's ointment to increase the activity of the absor bents. When this ointment is well rubbed upon the skin it removes all venus congestion, overcomes all mechanical obstruction to the free return of the blood, and prevents tho deposit of serum and water. Holloway's pills likewise augment the absorbing powers, and in many other ways through the liver, stomach, and kidneys increase tho cura tive powers of the unguent and restrain the disposition to romarkokly MUM tf) tiaio diftrrning omplgiut.

OYSTER CULTURE ON THE FORE SI:ORM—From page 81 to page, 85 in Mr. Dempster's book, entitled " The Deck-welled Fishing Boat, Fisheries, and Fish Market Reform," he shows the practical method adopted by the French to cultivate oysters on the fore shores, between high and low- water mark. To bettor convey the meaning of plan, Mr. Dempster has now added to his little volume a coloured lithographed plate, exhibiting a proposed site for oyster pits ono foot and a half deep at low water on the sands abreast of Kinghorn, a small burgh town, situated on the Fifeshire coast, on the north side of the Firth of Forth. What gives value to this site for o y s ter pits, the projector says, is in consequence of a freshwater stream constantly running from Kinghorn Loch on to these sands, together with the way they are sheltered by two reefs of rocks, one on the east side of sands, and the other on their west side. Tho two reefs run from the shore southward into the Firth, until their ends terminate in a depth of 12 or 13 feet at the lowest spring tide. The distance between the two reefs of rocks is 350 yards, that being about the extent of the sands from high to low-water mark. Mr. Dempster's plan to construct oyster pits at this site is —sixty feet south from high-watermark ho runs a strong sea well east and west, from the one reef of rocks to the other. This forms a reservoir to catch the fresh water constantly running from I‘ing horn Loch. He then forms his pits, outside of this sea wall, into three different compartments—one for the first year's growth, another for the second year's growth, and the other for the third year's grow th, after which time the oysters are fit for use. The compartmentE, of course, are surrounded by stakes, hurdles, andtressel work to capture the oyster spat during the spawning sea son. When the ebbing tide recedes from the pits, fresh water from the reservoir is then let into them from sluices By constructing oyster pits on the fore shores, between high and low water-mark, when the tide has receded from them, and the sun acting on their shallow depth, the effect might in some degree rarefy the water, se as to make its temperature advantageous to oyster culture.

My boy is 16 years of age, and has been for som e time past at a well - known public school, at his proficiency during play hours is so marked 'that, his schoolfellows] prophesy great things for him; when he begins the world. At cricket, :boating,: jumping, ' putting the stone,' and running, ray boy has from time to time carried off the prize. It is, perhaps,_ natural that his scholastic acquirements should be less' prominent. No man can excel in all things equally, though I confess I should be more satisfied if the gallant fellow would give me even partial and intermittent signs that he knew what real study means and implies. This morning my son and I left the Great 'Western station in a privileged cab' for Hampstead, stopping to make some purchases on the way. On dismissing the vehicle, a dispute arose as to the fare, and the cabman was insolent. My sun, who had just borrowed what he called half a Aid' of me, promptly took up the cudgels, or, in other words, the coarse language of the streets, and metaphorically smote that cabman hip and thigh. Were we such brace of fools,' he asked with indignant fervour, 'as to pay showful prices for riding in a blessed growler? Did the driver think to ' flummox' us by his lip, because he thought we weren't fly to Ern ? He (the driver) must get up earlier and go to bed without getting buffy, which he hadn't done for a week of Sundays, before he found that little game would draw in the Bibs. No more tight than we were, wasn't he ?—(with great depth of meaning this)--then what made him so precious fishy about the gills, if he hadn't been out on the batter the night before?' These questions and com. ments, incomprehensible as they were to me, appeared to give the cabman poignant anguish, and eventually cause, him to drive away muttering and discomfited. But, sir, at what a price was this triumph obtained ? Where did my lad pick up the slang ? How did he learn its import and its ready use ? Are other schoolboys equal adepts with him ? Is cant' now considered to be a regular branch of learning, and is it included in the curriculum like the modern languages? My son may be exceptionally gifted in thiEt particular, but he laughs my questions off, and speaks of the strange words used lightly as 'the lingo his pals talk in at school.' I therefore feel constrained to appeal, through your columns, to parents and to tutors to explain this monstrous perversion of the Queen's English, and to tell me whether it is common amongst our youth." HINTS ON DROWNING. It may save the lives of some of those who appear to be doomed to perish in a watery grave, if the following suggestion is borne in mind by persons who are near the spot ;it is made by one who has been a swimmer nearly all his life, and who accustomed himself to diving con 'stantly for a considerable period, and therefore knows 'what he is writing about. Many of the deaths—indeed, most of those that occur when bathing, take place near the shore, and are caused by the sudden immersion of the bather in a hole where the water rises above his head, possibly only to the extent of a few inches, and from whence he might easily escape if he only had the presence of mind to keep himself straight and raise himself above the surface by giving a slight spring to see in what direction the land lies, getting his lungs full of fresh air, and making his way out of the hole in the same way he probably got into it, by walking. Persons, however, who ape not accustomed to the water seldom have any presence of mind when they encounter accidents of this sort ; indeed, those who are accustomed to it, but are not able to swim, are just as stupid, and waste the precious moments during which they can keep the water from entering their lungs in wild struggles, instead of attempting to realise their position. I can remember an instance where a boy with whom I was bathing slipped into a hole at the bend of the river, from which he could have walked with hardly any inconvenience ; but, instead of taking this course, he began to kick out in every direction, and his face presented a series of contortions so hideous and so rapid in their change that though it occurred years and years ago the picture is as vivid as when it happened. In such clear water there was no difficulty in walking under it, and laying hold of the arm of my playmate and dragging him back into shallow water, and thus saving his life. Now, whenever we read that an individual is suddenly engulfed in this way, we are told, if a swimmer chanced to be near, that he rushed in, swam to the spot, and dived after the drowning person, sometimes succeeding in catching hold of the victim and bringing him to the surface ; not unfrequently wasting his own strength in vain efforts to effect what he might readily have accomplished by a more judicious employment of his strength and courage. To dive, especially with the clothes on, is not such an easy operation as it may appear, and is attended by a dis- turbance of the water, an expenditure of muscular force, and an interference with the regular action of the lungs, for which there is not any necessity. Let a man when he is performing such a bold deed cease from swimming when he reaches the spot where he expects to find the person he wants to save, and suffer himself to drop quietly to the bottom on his feet. lie will then have all his wits about him, will remember in what direction he has to go if he has come from the land, and will be able to select the part by which to grasp the drowning man, and so to keep himself from being seized in a way that would be likely to result in the drowning of both. It would astonish many a swimmer to find how long he can preserve his strength, and continue his search, if he operates in this quiet way. —Once a Week. FOUNDLING INSTITUTIONS AT FLORENCE.—The Provincial Council of Florence, which has just closed its sittings, adopted an important measure relative to the question of foundlings. The turning baskets are abolished, and will be replaced by receiving offices, at which no inquiries are to be made and no information asked as to the origin of the children brought. THE QUEEN'S HEALTIL—We regret to say that the paragraph in last Saturday's Lancet respecting the health of her Majesty has very little foundation. The health of the Queen has, we hope, received come benefit from the change of air and scene, and rest from her onerous public duties; but while her Majesty will continue, as heretofore, to regulate public business, the Queen will not, we fear, be able to bear the fatiguing excitement of a lengthened residence in London, and of the continued receptions attendant on such circumstances. — British Medical Journal. THE HOLYWELL ACCIDENT. Mr. Edwards Wood, having discovered that the station-master at Holy well was absent on his holidays at the time of the collision between the express and the luggage trains, in the former of which Mr. Wood was a passenger, has withdrawn the summons which he had obtained against him. He has, however, obtained a summons against George Gunnet, the signalman on duty at the Holywell station on the day of the collision, " for that he unlawfully and wilfully and negligently did omit to do a certain act, to wit, to put up the semaphore signal, danger, to shew that the line was not free at the time, causing the express train to run into collision with the goods train, whereby the life and limbs of William Edwards Wood were endangered." The case will be heard on the Gth prox. TECHNICAL EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.—Last spring the Council of the Royal Scottish Society of Arta convened a conference in Edinburgh, which was largely attended by provosts, local magistrates, and heads of educa tional establishments. It was felt that there was a great want of proper information on the conditions upon which aid was rendered by the State for promoting scientific instruction. Application was made for the services of Mr. Buckmaster, who had long been engaged in delivering lectures and attending meetings on this subject in various parts of England and Ireland. Public meetings have been held in a large number of towns in Scotland, at which Mr. Buckmaster has attended and delivered very able and satisfactory addresses, which have resulted in the appoint ment of local committees for the purpose of co-operating with the Science and Art Department in promoting scientific instruction. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A LIFEBOAT COX.. SWAIN.—The weather was rather threatening at Peterhead on Tuesday night, but there being a good appearance of fish, a number of boats put to sea. The recent rains, how. ever, had rendered the ocean unsettled, and caused a heavy ground swell, and many of the boats turned back, without shooting their nets. They began to arrive early in the evening, and continued to come in during the early part of the night and the morning. A little before one o'clock the policeman on duty heard cries proceeding from a point to the side of the entrance of the north harbour. An alarm was speedily raised, and it soon became evident that a boat had swamped, and that the drowning crew were calling for help. The boat could be seen a black speck in the sea, with the billows breaking over her, and the men were seen clinging to different parts of the boat. The fishermen on the pier thought it dangerous to put to sea in a common boat, and all hopes were directed to the lifeboat. The coxswain, however, refused to go to sea, on the ground that lie had no authority to use her among rocks. The key of the boathouse was brought to him, and volunteers offered themselves on every hand, but still he refused. The scene on the pier was heartrending. The alarm had brought the women to the shore, and no one knowing who was thus crying for help, the situation was distressing in the extreme. The cries of the men, were heard about an hour and a half, and no effort was made to reach them. About two o'clock the cries ceased, the men hay tALatlyjerlitted lifkaatti: // ~_ ~~ :1
