New Use for the Signal Service.

An intelligent writer in the Troy
Daily Times has found a new use for the
signal service. He makes it sort of
medical director by considering that
the knowledge of climate gained by its
effective working may be useful in
saving life from the ravages of disease.
Fevers and consumption owing their
power to harm to sudden changes of
temperature and violent atmospheric
commotions, an intelligent physician
will be enabled to point out climate
where consumptives and other sufferers
may find relief from the aggravating
cause of their maladies. The result of
the signal service observations has
shown the possibility of finding regions
where pulmonary diseases are unknown.
Undoubtedly there is much truth in
these observations, but since many per-
sons have found an instant relief from
their sufferings in the climate of Mime
sofa, it seems clear that the writer goes
too far in denouncing that State as a
"residence improbable for hygienic
purposes" Exact scientific knowledge
of climate being now possible, it will, OF
course, be made useful.

Critical Periods of Human Life.

From the age of forty to that of sixty
a man who properly regulates himself
may be considered in the prime of life.
His matured strengh Of constitution
renders him almost impervious 20 the
attacks of disease, and all the functions
are in the highest order. Having gone
year or two past sixty, however, he
arrives at critical period OF existence;
the river of death flows before him, and
he remains at stand-still. But athwart
this river is a viaduct called "The Turn
of Life" which if crossed in safety leads
to the valley cold Age" round which
the river winds, and then flows beyond
without boat or causeway to affect Its
passage. The bridge is, however, con-
structed of fragile materials, and it de
pends upon how it is trodden whether
it bend or break. Gout, apoplexy, and
other bad characters, are also IN the
vicinity to waylay the traveller and
thrust him from the pass; but let him
grid up his loins, and provide himself
with perfect composure. To quote
metaphor, "the turn of life' has turn
either into prolonged walk or into the
grave. The system and power having
reached their utmost expansion, now
begin either to close, like flowers at
sunset, or break down at once. One
iniudicious stimulant, single fatal ex-
element, may force it beyond its
strength whilst careful supply OF
props, and the withdrawal of all that
tends to force plant, will sustain it in
beauty and vigor until night has nearly

Anti-Opium Pills.

In Il recent report on the condition of
the English Hospital at Pekin, China,
the attending physician gives formula
for anti,opium pills" This remedy
is composed of extract of gentian, cam
phor, quinine, Cayenne pepper, ginger
and cinnamon, with CASTLE soap and
syrup to form the mass, and liquorice
powder to form the coating. The
efficacy of these pills in overcoming the
opium habit, and in preventing the
suffering on giving up the use of that
poison, is stated to have been proved in
numerous cases. The native remedies
it is said contain opium in some form,
and most frequently the ashes of opium
already smoked, and consequently are
inetticacious, it being as difficult to dis
continue the use of the medicine as OF
the drug itself

An estimate has been made by com.
pe.ent persons, that, in the last five
centuries, England has lost S250,000, 900
worth of land by the encroachments of
the ocean. Villages and towns, marked
on old maps, have wholly disappeared.
Lands, the income of which enriched %
convent in the fifteenth century, are
now covered with water fathoms deep.
The publication of these statements has
elected some curious facts about the
ravages of the sea in other countries.
The neighborhood of Havre, in France,
has suffered much in this way. The
western coast of Belgium and Holland
has sunk perceptibly. st. Petersburg is
SO much lower thar it originally was,
that, few years ago, a proposition to
move the Capital back to Moscow was
seriously considered. The New World
is rot exempt from kindred dangers.
Cape Cod manages to retain it's shifting
sands, but travels untiringly from east
to west to do so. 1t is well known that
the old coast-line of the Continent is
some sixty miles east OF the present
one, and the ocean is annexing New
Jersey rapidly now, as any property
owner at Long Branch can testify

tain tops of the Cascade Range. That
the whole country has been liable to
volcanic overflows, the lava and scolia
which form so much of the rock abun-
dainty prove. However, from 1907 to
1868, the internal fires made no sign,
and the highest peaks-Mount Hood
Mt. st. Helens, Mt. Jefferson, and the
Three Sisters-were pronounced extinct
volcanoes. In 1868, a few faint clouds
rose from the crater Of Mt. Hood, and
now the peak is said to be pouring forth
volumes of heavy smoke. Six weeks
from now, the Columbia river will have
risen twenty or thirty feet, and if an
earthquake should then open new
channels or choke up the old one, the
damage that such an enormous volume
of water might do is incalculable.

A Louisville correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazene thus pleasantly Cos
sips about Rev. DIR. Stuart Robinson, the
leader of the Southern Presbyterian
Church. After relating the reverend
gentleman's almost miraculous escape
from smallpox, the correspondent
says:
May not tell joke on the lev.
Doctor of Divinity? He enjoys a
joke and am sure he will laugh at this
one. 1t was reported during his i'll
ness, while he was very low, even at the
very gate Of the cemetery, so to speak
that the physicians found it necessary
to resort to the TRANSMISSION of blood in
order to save his life. This extraordi
nary surgical operation was much
talked about by the friends and ac
quaintances of the great man whose life
was supposed to have been thus almost
miraculously saved. Everybody wanted
to learn the particulars about it-how it
was done, and by whom-and one gen.
tleman pressed the matter so far as to
ask a Presbyterian not in sympathy
with DR.. Robinson What animal did
they take the blood from p From a
mule, of course ? was the reply. This
joke will not need any explanation for
those who know DR.. Robinson's reputa-
ton for downright stubbornness. There
was no TRANSMISSION, however"

THE FATAL DUEL.

Old DR.. latham was sitting cozily with
his daughter one morning when the
servant came in and announced Mr.
Irving and his son.
"Leave us, Amy darling, for short
time, will your" said the doctor to his
daughter. 4" will send Walter to you
directly, but | wish to speak few
words to him first"
Amy latham was charming girl, in
the fresh bloom of youth and beauty.
don't think she quite liked being sent
away just at that moment. and it is
quite certain that she raised her head
very suddenly when she heard the
name "Walter Irving" mentioned.
Walter Irving was certainly a very lucky
fellow; and | think, if the truth be
told, when old DR.. latham kissed his
daughter preparatory to her fulfilling
his sentence of exile, | think he thought
so too.
"Bother business, dear papa!" said
willful Amy but remember you have
promised not 10 keep me away long :;
and if you don't keepy our word, | shall
come in and surprise you. Good-by,
you old dear
When Amy latham had lef, the room
the doctor turned toward the servant,
who still stood at the door.
"Ask Mr.. Irving and his son to walk
in, please, and don't let me be disturbed
unless there is something very important
to be done"
Mr.. Irving was fne-lookng old gen
tleman Of the Colonel Newcome stamp ;
his son not so tall, or Of such command
ing presence, but inteiligent-looking
and also gentlcmanly. The father was
about sixty; the son twenty-five, but
looking evidently younger.
After commencing on few ordinary
topics Of conversation, Mr., Irving was
about to come to the point, and explain
more particularly the object of his visit
on this occasion, when he was stopped
by the doctor.

RATS have an unaccountable fondness
for the taste of phosphorus, and to this
fact may be attributed the origin of many
mysterious fires. They build their nests
of inhammable materials, and take to
them any stray matches they can find
lying round loose. This accomplished,
they undertake to crafty their appetites
by nibbling the coated ends of the
matches, which are at once ignited, when
the nest is set in blaze, and the de-
