Tobacco and Liquors.

ACCORDING to the statistics of DR.. RubiO,
the number of lunatics is much greater in
nothern countries, where the consum ption
of spirtuous liquors and the use oftobacco
are much greater than in southern count
ries, where the people are very.sober, and
small smokers. According TO nj. MOTeau,
not single case of general paralysis is
seen in Asia Minor, where there is no abuse
of alcoholic liquors, and where they smoke
n kind of tobacco which is almost free from
n'c0tine or the peculiar poison in tobacco.
On the other hand, insanity Is frightfully
increasing in Europe, just in proportion TO
the increase in the use Of tobacco. 1t ap-
pears that from 1880 to 1882 the revenues
from the import on tobacco in France rose
from 81 $50, 100 20 1888 333- a tremend-
Gus figure, certainly, to have disappeared
from the pockets of the people into smoke.
But hand in hand with this increase in the
consumption of tobacco there appears TO
have been during the same period an aug
mentation of the number of lunatics in
France from 8 900 to 44,000, or rather go,
| 600, if we take into account other lunatics.

As soon as an article purporting 10 be Of utility

Blood Vessels.

The blood-vessels are a system of mem
branous elastic tubes, of various sizes, dis
tributed through every organ and tissue Of
the body, for the purpose of circulating
the blood sent out by the heart They
are divided into arteries and veins, be
tween which is third series-the capill.
aries. The arteries originate frcm the
heart, from which, branching more and
more as they are remote from it, they con-
vey pure blood TO all parts of the body ;
the veins, on the contrary, commence by
small twigs in the remote parts of the sys-
tenn, carrying the impure blood, charged
with the products of the waste of our It's
sues, toward the heart, forming larger and
larger trunks as they approach the right
auricle; the capillaries form very minute
network of vessels, as fine as hair
(whence the name) in which the secret
processes OF nutrition and waste are car
Tied on.
The mode in which the arteries branch
Is worthy of notice. Near the heart they
are given off at right angles TO the main
sorta, with the ed, ct tofchecking the other
wise too great impetus ofthe blood 10 the
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1871-08-11

brain while in the limbs they come off at
a very acute angle, offering the slightest
possible impediment of the circulation
there AS general rule, the division is
in two branches only, and, as the combin-
ed capacity of the two branches Is greater
than that of the trunk, the arterial circula-
tion may be represented by cone, with
the apex at the heart, and its base the
periphery of the body.
Communication between arteries, or
anastomoses, are numerous, and increase
in frequency as the size of the vessels di-
minishes; the greater communication in
the smaller branches Is TO obviate the
greater liability TO obstruction in them, as
in the inteslines, in the hands and feet,
and around the joints. On these communi-
cations are founded the triumphs of mod
ern surgery if the main artery of limb
be tied up from injury or disease, the
small communicating branches become en-
larged, and thus supply the amount OF
blood necessary for the life and nutrition
of the limb. Arteries usually run deep be-
tween the muscles, and are protected in
firm sheaths and behind bones From
their being found empty after death, their
contractility forcing the blood into the
veins, the ancieuts supposed them to
transmit the "vital spirit and hence gave
them the name of arteries-"air carriers
"a name retained after the discovery OF
the circ Alation by Harvey. - Good Hedtth.

Shipping Fruit.

INEXPERIENCED fruit growers are often
surprised at the small returns they receive
from firms to which they coRsign goods.
In many cases, doubtless, the middle men
run up such bill of commissions aud
charges as to effectually eat up any pro
fit; but it is often the fault of the grower
in forwarding unsorted and badly packed
fruit Numerous letters have recently
been forwarded to farmers in the peach
growing districts, advising them to be
more particular in picking and shipping
fruit. A consignment of one hundred
boxes of peaches was recently sold in New
York for dollar box, on which the
charges amounted to ninety-one cents, thus
leaving the grower only nine cents box,
which byno me ans paid him for his trouble,
or the interest on his investment One
half of these peaches are said to have been
good ones, which, if packed by themselves,
would have readily brought $3a box. One
fourth of the lot was soft and crushed, and
tee remainder were hard and unripe. As
the freight on box of peaches or vcgeta-
bles is the same whether the contents be
good or bad, il is important that only good
fruit should be sent, If any profit Is ex-
pected from the transaction. 1t is the
quality, not the quantity, of fruit which
brings good prices, and growers should
bear this in mind when sending off their
goods. What is true of peaches holds
good of other fruits and vegetables. A
poor article badly packed will hardly bring
enough to pay for its forwarding and sell

MlrvelOus Recovery Of Woman
Whose Brains have been Pierced.

MEDICAL science, assisted by sound
constitution and good supply of brain
substance, can claim the performance of a
miracle In this city II has been pretty
generally decided that when the brain of a
human bang is pierced by foreign sub
stance--say bar of iron, bullet, or
claw hammer-the existence of that being
is somewhat suddenly terminated. The
annals Of surgery can hardly show case
where the human brain has been so fear
fully injured as in that of Mrs. Degnau,
who resides at No 1914 Carroll street It
will be remembered that on the 18th of
last June the lady alluded to was assaulted
in deadly manner by her divorced hus-
band The wretch used a claw hammer
for the purpose OF beating out the woman's
brains, and succeeded to some extent.
There were inflicted with this cruel instru-
ment two complete fractures of the skull.
The first was on the left side of the head,
near the crown, whore the weapon had
crushed right through, cutting principal
blood-yessel, and literally scattering some
of The braiu substance on the floor. This
wound left a most ghastly appearing
fracture, through which the brain oOzed in
shocking way, Another terrific blow
had shstteIed the temporal bone, just for
ward of the upper lobe OF the left ear,
and buried the hammer TO the handle in
the brain. Several other woul ds had been
inflicted on The scalp, and the left arm had
been broken. OF course the surgeons who
were called in gave up the case as hope
less. They, however, did what was posgi.
BILE under the circumstances to give the
unhappy woman some relief from her hor-
rible agony. DIR. O. j. Lewis permanently
attended her, and TO his astopishment she
fingered from day to day, until finally
she showed signs of rallying, Then the
surgeon did all in his power TO assist the
process of nature, and the woman is now

Cut Flowers.

THE first thing TO be considered in ar
ranging cut flowers is the vase.
If it is scarlet, blue, or many -colored, 1t
must necessarily conflict with some hue
in your bouquet. Choose, rather, pure
white, green, or transparent glass, which
allows the delicate stems to be seen.
Brown Swiss-wood, silver, bronze, or yell
low straw coBtlict with nothing. The vase
must be subordinate to what it holds.
A bowl for roses. Tall-spreading vases
for gladiolus, fern, white lilies, and the
like. Cups for viOlets and tiny wood flow
ers. Baskets tor vines and gay garden
blossoms. A hower-lover will in time
collect shapes and sizes to suit each group.
Colors should be blended together with
neutral tints, of which there are abunda ce
whites, greys, purples, tender green's
and which harmonize the pinks, crimsons,
and brilliant reds into soft unison.
Certain flowers assOrt well only in fami-
lies, and are spoiled by mixing OF these
are balsams, hollyhocks, and sweet peas,
whose tender liquid hues are as those OF
drifting sunset clouds. Others may be
masstd with good effect. In arranging a
large basket or vase it is well to mentally
divide it into small groups, making each
group perfectly harmonious with itself
and blending the whole with green and
delicate colors. And, above all, avoid stiff
ness. Let a bright tendril or spray Divine
spring forth here and there, and wander
over and around the vase at its will.
The water should be warm for winter
vase-cool, but not iced, for summer one.
A little salt or bit of charcoal should be
added in hot weather, to obViate vegetable
decay, and the vase filled anew each morn
| ing. With these precautions your flowers,
keep their freshness for many hours, even
/ in July, and reward, by their beautiful
presence, the kind hand which arranged
and tended them.-lScribRers Monthly.

PENNSYLVANIA.
Address of the Republican State Gem
trail Committee.

The Pennsylvania Republican State
Central Committee, in a recent address to
the people of the State, after referring to
the past achievements of the Republican
party, proceeds as follows:
Among the necessities growing out of
the rebellion, the national government
found itself compelled to submit to the
States, for their ratification, three amend.
ments TO the Constitution-One (known as
the Thirteenth) abOlishing slavery; an
other (the Fourteenth) securing the
rights of citizens to the enfran-
chised slaves, and prohibiting the
reputation of any part of the nation
al debt, OF the payment OF any part of the
rebel debt; aud another (the Efficiently
prohibiting the States from excluding any.
one from the right Of suffrage on acc Junt
of race, color, or previous condition of
servitude. These amendments, having all
been duly ratified in the method pointed
out by the Constitution, are now a COM
ponent part of that instrument. Their
adoption stands as The grandest peaceful
achievement of ancient or modern times.
No party ever before undertook so great
task and its accomplishment, in so
short a space of time, is work in which
the Republican party may well feel proud.
To secure the complete protection of these
emancipated and enfranchised people is
now one of the unquestioned duties of
the nation; and no party is so fit TO be in
trusted with that duty as the party which
has done the preliminary work. The
party which has hitherto continuously re-
sisted the policy thus established, is not
the one, now, TO carry II out. During the
