it does become, because cold condenses
the carbolic acid formed by the breathing
OF the sleeper. 1t settles near the door
and is re-breathed, and if in a condensed
fern, he will die before morning. Hence
we must be governed by circumstances;
the first thing is, you must be comfortably
warm during sleep, otherwise you are not
refreshed, and inflammation Of the lungs NAV
be engendered, and life destroyed within
few days. An open fireplace Is sufficient
for ordinary purposes in cold weather.

FISH CULTURE In ENGLAND. - 1t Is
stated that, under the care bestowed by
various associations and the legislature.
food fishes are rapidly increasing In num-
bers in the rivers aud estuaries OF Great
Britain. The increase in the salmon sup
ply is especially noted. The total quantity
of salmon sold at Billingsgate during the
year 1870 was 1858. ls4 pounds, an increase
of 224.7s4 pounds over the sales of 1863
The total value is given at f2l3,O59. or
about % Is cents per pound. The increase
of salmon is not confined to the great sal
mon rivers. The fishermen of the Cornish
rivers, the Fowey and the Looe, agreed
that where there was one salmon or salmon
trout ten years ago, there are ffty now.
MT. Cuthbert W. johnson concludes an ar
ticle upon the subject by remarking that
1t is evident TINT in protecting the fish in
their migrations up streams, by keeping
those waters free from the matters noxious
to the fish, and from unlawful fishing. far
greater things are yet TO be accomplished
in increasing our supply of fish. That our
rivers may thus be made far more profitable
than at present has been clearly proved by
the results of the efforts made during the
last few years. Our information on this
national question has only recently been in
creasing. The same remark applies to our
great sea fisheries; tor it has only within
the last few years been shown by the COM
missioners appointed TO inquire into those
fisheries that the value of the fish annually
caught on the Great North Sea Dogger
bank exceeds the value OF all the yearly
agricultural produce OF the fine counties OF
Essex. Norfolk, and Suffolk.
A CERTAIN CURE FOR EARAcHE. = We
have recently seen several receipts pub
lished AS beneficial in cases Of earache; but
one who has a severe attack OF that malady
will, we think. soon find the ineficiency OF
them all. There Is, however, one remedy
which the experience of twenty years has
taught us is never falling. We have seen
it repeatedly tried in our own family. and
have frequently recommended ii to Others.
