Doctor had seemed to understand,
sympathize, and provide for the various
symptoms of Isabel's aunt, there might
have been poison element in the next
deep plot he laid. @ ya
Narrow, shallow, insignificant little
stream as was the Tonaway, from that
day forward it seemed to grow daily
wider and wider in the eyes of Dorr
Martin, until he came to conviction
that there could be no real comfort
in farming both sides of it;
"Dr. Nugent," said he, a month or
two later, they say you're going to
have all the practice to yourself again. .
How's that?'' growled the Doctor.
Why, that young friend of yours
has made up his mind to run the Leo
farm for a living"
"Well?" again snapped DR.. Nugent.
"Well? Why, Carrie and I have
made up our minds that the best land
in the Tonaway Valley is ON this side
the bridge. Come to the wedding, will
you-eh?" ....,
Hum well-why-yes, OF course
I will. Always want to keep track of
my patients, you know. Always take

And the old Doctor winked very
knowingly as he stepped hurriedly into
his buggy; but the thought really up
permost in his mind was whether, after
all, Isabel Lees husband would have
the good sense to give up practice when
he found himself master of such a
splendid farm. ....s4...4

sARDINEe, WHERE THEY COME FROM
AND HOW PRESERVED.

There are few delicacies SO well
known and so highly esteemed as the
sardine. The delicious flavor of the
fish when the tin is first opened, and
the sweetness of the oil always sup
posing a good brand print their charms
upon the memory. It will be unwel-
come news, however, to many to be
told that anything good in this way is
exceedingly scarce this season. Unfor-
tunately, it was the same last year.
Then the destroying demon of war took
the fishermen from tie villages, and,
added to this, the fish were scarce, so
that more was contracted for than coald
be delivered. This year it is worse.
Few fish OF any size have been caught
Except some very large), least of all
those of the finest quality. The conse-
quence is that the French nlanufactur-
ers are again unable to carry out their
contrac.s.
The fishery, says the London Grocer,
is carried on generally from July to No
vember, all along the West coast of
France. Two of the largest stations
are at Douarnenez and Concatneau.
Fleets of boats go out some few miles,
and spread out their nets, by the side
of which some cod roe is thrown to St
tract the fish. The nets are weighted
on one end and have corks attached to
the other, so that they assume vcrti-
cal position-two nets being placed
close to each other, that the fish, trying
to escape, may be caught in the meshes.
Brought to land, they are Immediately
offered for sale, as, if staler by view
hours, they become seriously deterio-
rated in value, no first-class manufac-
turer caring to, buy such. They are
sold by the thousand. The curer en-
ploys large numbers of women, who
cut Off the heads Of the fish, wash and
salt them. The fish are then dipped
into boiling Oil for a few minutes, ar
ranged in various sized boxes, filled up
with finest olive oil, soldered down, and
then placed in boiling water for some
time. Women burnish the tins; the
label are put on, or sometimes enam-
elled on the tin, which are afterwards
packed in wooden cases, generally con-
tanning 100 tins, and are then ready for
export. s,,-,.q
1t does not always seem to be remem-
bered that the longer the tin is kept
unopened the more mellow do the fish
become; and, if properly prepared, age
improves them as it does good wine.
But if they are too salt at first, age does
not benefit them, they always remain
tough. The sizes of tins are known as
half and quarter tins. There ere two
half tins, one weighing eighteen ounces
and the other sixteen ounces gross.
The quarter tin usually weighs abou.
seven ounces, but there is a larger
quarter tin sometimes imported. Whole
tins, and even larger ones still, are used
in France, but are very seldom seen
here. s}4a FieT u
As is well known, the sardine trade
is an important branch of industry,
very large quantities being consumedin
France; and the expectation to England
and America is truly wonderful,

SOLIDIFICATION OF THE BLOOD.

The conversion of blood into the sol
id parts of the body goes on only dur
ing sleep. The chief end, indeed, and
object and intention of sleep would
seem to be this final assimilation of our
food-this solidifcation of blood into
the several parts of the body. The ac-
compEshment of this miraculous change
seems to have required that the atten-
ton, it l may speak so, of the brain
and nervous system should not be dis
tracted by any other object. 1t seems
to have required that everything both
within and without the body should be
hushed into profound repose during the
accomplishment of this mighty wonder,
i'll order that nothing might disturb or
interfere with the exquisite and mirac-
ulous process employed to effect it. To
this end, the portals of sensation are
closed-tho eye sees not, the ear hears
not, the skin feels not, the very breath
ing is scarcely audible, the pulsations
OF the heart scarcely preceptiblo; all
the living energies are now concentrated
into the greatest possible intensity, like
rays Of light into focus; and directed
with almost complete eXclusiyencss,
toward the simple object.
In the day, therefore, we make blood !;
i'll the night that blood is converted into
solid matter. In the day we gather up
the building materials; in the night we
repair the building. The hour of rising,
therefore, ought to be at the hour at
which our physical strength is the
greatest; and with perfectly healthy
persons, this is the case The languor
which perfectly healthy persons feel in
tho morning, arises from the process
OF repairing not having been fully ac-
complished; the building has not been
repaired, and therefore it's strength has
not been restored. The apparent addi-
tional strength which is felt, during the
dly. after eating, is only apparent; it is
only excitement derived from the slim
ulus of food; in the first instance in the
stomach, and after that food has been
assimilatcd, OF now blood in the system.
