Coon ADVICE. Tie Philadelphia Ledger
says. the journals in the West are all urging
the farmers to put i'll abundant crops Of S; ring
| wheat, potatoes, corn. and whatever may
serve as a Substitute for wheat. There will
be no supply frotn last years crop, and the
farmers need not fear low prices. The next
year will furnish abundant demand for all
that the soil can produce. 1t is famine and
starvation prices that we have to fear, and
not gluttcd market. Tho dry fall proven
ted them from getting in Wheat freely, and
they must not rely upon what the far west
may produce to make up for their lack. Let
them cover every spot they can occupy with
something that will do for the sustcnance of
man or beast, or both.

1.-THE Paris correspondent of the \. Y.
Tribune gives the following paragraphs as
among the passing events Of the age:
Many Of your readers will remember to
have read, within the past few years, curious
accounts of the habitual swallowing of
arsenic by the peasants in the mountainous
parts Of Pennsylvania. and some other of the
Austrian provinces. 1t gave them blooming
comprXioi,s and enabled them to endure
long ascending walks on the mountains with
out overtaXing their lungs. a scientific Jour
nal here recently quoted tie Statements Of VI
Montiguy French Consul in China. in refer
rnce to the use of arsenic by The Northern
Chinese. lie says they minglc il with thti,
smoking tobacco. The custom is peculiar 10
certain provinces, and so common that, ac
cordimg to the testimony of missionaries who
lived long time there, tobacco free from
arsenic is not sold. The same witnesses
assured the Consul that the arsenic smokers
were stout fellows, with 'lunes like n black
smiths bellows, and rosy as chrrhs." The
publication Of Montigny's statement has call
ed out n letter from DR.. Londc, who informs
us that some years ago, in the course of a
discussion at the Academy of Medicine. on
the agents to be employed to cure tubercuar
consumption. he told the assembled doctors
that he had found but one successful means
of combating this dreadful disease; that
means was the smoking of arsenic The
doctor rcailirms his commentator of this
remedy.
Biologists here arc in great delight, though
almost ready to quarrel, over wonderful
bone of an ex-wondcrful bird that has been
found in the lower clay stratum of the Paris
basin: near Mcndon. According to the com
parativ. anatomists. this palcontologic Shang
hal must have weighed something like four
hundred pounds, and had drum stick
like giraffe.

the steamer Reindeer, plying between St.
