Many Of them never think of Dig

they have dreamed about a crock Of
gold hidden in the earth, but if they
would set about the work of digging
in earnest, every man would find his

We have great advantage over Brit
ish farmers in the fact that our farm
ers nearly all hold the lands which
they cultivate in fec simple, while in
England they are chiefly tenants,
hiring the lands Of the nobility, pay
ing enormous rents to the proprietors,
besides heavy taxes to the govern
ment. Taxes here are comparatively
light, and our farmers are their own

The Philosophy Of Sneezing.

A sneezing always indicates that
there is something wrong. 1t does
not occur in health nnlcss some foreign
agent irritates the membranes OF the
nasal passages, upon which the nerv-
GUS tilaments are distributed. In case
of cold, or what is termed influenza,
these are unduly excitable, and hence
the repeated sneezings which then &C.
cur. The nose receives three sells OF
nerves--the nerves Of smell, those OF
feeling, and those ofmotion. The for
mer communicates to the brain the
odorous properties ofsubstances with
which they come into contact, IN
diHused or concentrated state; the sec
ond communicate the impressions OF
touch. the third move the muscles Of
the nose, but the power olthese muscles
is very limited. When sneeze oc-
ours, all these faculties are excited in
a high degree. A grain Of snuff eX-
cites the olfactory nerves, which des-
patch to the brain the intelligence that
snuff has attacked the nostril" The
brain sends a mandate through the
motor nerves to the muscles, saying
"cast it OUT and the result is unmis-
taxable. So offensive is the enemy
besieging the nostril held to be, that
the nose is not lett to its own defence.
1t were too feeble to accomplish this.
An allied army Of muscles join in the
rescue; nearly one half OF the body
arouses against the intruder: from the
muscles Of the lips to those Of the alb
domen, all unite in the effort Of the eX-
pulsion of the grain of snuff. Let us
consider what occurs in the instanta-
neous operation. The lung becomes
fully inflated, the abdominal organs
are pressed downwards, and the veil
Of the palate drops down to form a
barrier to the escape Of air through
the mouth, and now all the muscles
which have relaxed for the purpose
contract simultaneously, and force the
compressed air from the lungs in ator.
rent ont through the nasal passages
with the benevolent determination tc
sweep away the particle OF snuff
which has been causing irritation
there in. Such, then is the compIica'
ted action of a sneezc; and if the first
effort does not succeed, then follows
a second, third and a fourth; anc
not until victory is achieved, do the
army of defenders dissolve their com
pact, and settle down into the enjoy
mcnt Of peace and quietude.-JoHrna'
of MediC0l Reform.
