CONSUMPTION

Paris correspondent of the New York Herald
says:
An interesting paper the properties of the
sap OF the pine tree has just been published in the
Abellle Uedicale in reference to its curative effect
on that terrible scourge of humanity in America
consumption. DR.. Desmartis, of Bordeaux is the
author, and quotes the result of four years
experience. One is an instance of a young
lady who obliged to give up her revels
on account of phthisis, which was hereditary
In her family; her mother, father, sister and
other relations having all died of the disorder
She was afflicted with violent retchng and splitting
OF blood, and all these symptoms of an advanced
pulmonary complaint, were ascertained by auscul-
tation. The splitting of blood was stopped in the
course OF five days, by administering gramme
OF powdered rue per day. DR.. Desmartis considers
rue (ruta graveoens to be one of the best ant-has
motatics known. After which the patient took bot
tie sap per day the space of two months and
half at the end of which time her strenth had re-
turned, her checks had resumed their former healthy
condition, and every alarming symptom had disap-
peared. The patient has suffered no relapse. The
author quotes innumerable other instances He saws
that pain in the chest is not assauged in the chest
less accompanied by friction of the following compo-
sltlon: oil Of rue, one hundred grammes essence of
rue, twenty-five grammes; concentrated tincture of
aloes, 100 grammes. Pine sap generally purges
the beginner, but this effect, which seems to be
purely climinative ceases. Its analytical pro-
portions are-l of resinous matter, 2 of extractve
substances Zone soluble both in water and alcohol
and the other only in water of abumen a
KIND OF gum, and soda, lime, magnesia, iron, al
umena phosphates, suphates, carb0nates and cholo-
rides, all in very small proportions.

CANARY BIRDs.-There is an association. COM
posed OF about thirty persons, mostly Germans, in
Philadelphia, who aim to improve the breed of ca
nary birds, and their thirteenth annual public exh
oitlon was held last week. The Ledger says:
The association does not import the birds direct
ly, but purchase them from the importers of whom
there are but two in this city, and then breed
them. The trade is confined principally to Ger
mans. The bird importers usually start for Europe
about the LIST of August and after having made
their purchases return in the ofa few months
The great majority of these birds were obtained
from Belgium, where they are bred in houses by
the peasants, who raise them in houses as pastime
There are what are called 'long" and "short''
breeds. Birds of the long breed are procured from
Brussels, Antwerp, and Deitz where they sometimes
obtain extravagant prices. Their cost depends up
the color and shape, the pure golden yellow be
ing most esteemed. They only used for the pur-
pose of breeding, and oftentmes sell for $50 pair
The short breed is raised by the people of the Hartz
Mountains. Next to the Belgian the French bird is
most priced. The common or original canary is
the lowest in the scale of value.
The trade in these birds is said to be very extern
sve, the yearly sales averaging about 5000 pairs,
the price of which varies considerably, the best
bringing from SO to $40 pair while the common
canaries may be had as low as 81 per pair 1t NAV
be safely said that 100000 is yearly expended in
this city for these BIRDS and when the sale of other
birds is taken into consideration, the amount will
swell to $4,000.
