INTO the connection of this habit with the
impairment of the general health. He has
observed, reports the British Medical Jour
nal, 50 boys, aged from 9 to Is, who smoked
more or less. Of these, distinct symptoms
were present in q. In %, there were vari-
GUS disorders of the circulation-bruH de
conDte In the neck, palpitation, disorders Of
digestlon, slowness of intellect. and a more or
less marked taste for strong drinks. In
three the pulse was intermittent. In eight,
there was found on examination more or less
marked diminutions of the corpuscles in
Twelve, there was rather frequent epistaxis !;
ten mad disturbed sleep; and four mad slight
uiceratlons OF the mucus membrane of the
mouth, which disappeared on ceasing from
the use of tobacco. for some days. In children
who were very well nourished, the disorder
was IN general less marked As to the ages,
eight OF the boys were from 0 to II years old;
nineteen from IL to Is: The duration of the
habit OF smoking was: in eleven, from six
month to year. The ordinary treatment of
anemia in general produced no effect as long
as the smoking was continued but when
this was desisted from, health was soon per-
fectly restored, if there was no organic dis
ease.

The story of the Princess de Metterni ich
having nursed the babe of her former maid
at her breast, reminds an Austrian journals st
of the fact that the Empress Of Austria, in
1850. did the same thing with the babe of
the widow of soldier, who had been killed
at Solferino. His wife lived at Luxembourg,
and the news of her husbands death threw
her upon a long sick bed, SO that she was
unable to suckle, her child. The Empress,
who knew her and came to visit her found
that the poor mother could not nurse her
child, and took the little creature to her own
breast until wet nurse, for whose services
the kind hearted Elizabeth paid, had been

WORSE THAN AN EARTHoUAKE.-The Nash
vile Press and Banner of November I'd says:
Yesterday morning, about two o'clock, the
little brick church on the Hardin pike, about
eleven miles from the city. and situated ON
point here the road runs between two lofty
hills, was literally blown away, only about
four feet of the walls being left standing
The wind had been pretty stormy all the
morning, and many trees had been blown
down on the surrounding hills. but at the
hour above named gust of wind swept
along the road, catching up in its sweeping
progress every detached object in the way,
and whrling them around af if thew were a
horizontal cylinder; fence rails, branches of
trees, hunks of earth, and even stones we're
whirled around by the aerial augur as it came
along with irresistible force and inconcciva-
BILE rapidity. 1t struck the church about four
feet above the ground, ripped off the bricks
and mortar, and swept the whole upper part
away quite clean. A few bricks were drop
ped along the road for two or three hundred
yards, but the main portion was taken nearly
half mile, to where the road opened out on
a wide stretch of comparatively open country,
and there dropped in the bed of creek, with
the.. roof firmly attached to the walls. Two
cows that had been leeward of the building
while 1t was yet standing were knocked about
twenty yards into hollow They seemed
considerably stupifed, but otherwise sustain
ed no damage.

ExTRAoRDIN AIRY EXODUS OF HONEY Bees
One of the most remarkable occurrences that
has ever come to our knowledge was related
TO as yesterday. Mr.. James Broil, a farmer,
who resides about seven miles from the city,
on the river road has for some time past
been engaged extensively in raising honey
bees, aud with almost unprecedented sue
cess. He has lately rejoiced in as many as
forty-fve hives of the industrious little cusses,
and to use a homely phrase. they have been
plying themselves like Turks and making
slathers of honey for the winter.
few mornings ago, however, Mr.. Broil
woke up to find his bees non est. They had
s. lit out" between two days leaving no trace
whatever of the point or region of country to
which they had SO ounceremonously migrated.
There was not bee left to keep its lonely
watch over the forty five hives As might be
expected, farmer Broil was left in consider
able of dilemma and Immediately consult
ed all the authorities at his command in re-
lation to the peculiar habits and freaks of
the bee tribe.
After reading through many volumes it
occurred to him that some of his neighbors
might be able to explain the why's and
wherefores of this bounty jumping move on
the part of his army of honey makers. lie
accordingly made g bee line' for the resi-
dence of his nearest neghbor, to consult him
on the singular problem. To his utter sur
prise he ascertained that his friend, who is
also a q" beeist,s' had met with the same loss
in the same sudden manner, and was in the
same perplexity as to the cause. They at
once resolved on examining the hives, and it
revealed to them the fact that each stand
contained from sixty to seventy five pounds
Of honey. This development led the two
bee-raisers to seek for further information,
and in their rounds, for a circuit of twenty
five miles, they found that every hive had
been deserted about the same time, and all of
them were left full of honey The farmers in
that region are unable to account for this
mysterious disappearance of their bees, and
many theories have been advanced, but up
to this time the problem remains unsolved.
The opinion of most of them is that the
mildness of the weather up to so late season
caused this singular migration. n.-Louisriile
