Meat Extracts and Beef Tea.

DR.. P. Miller has given, in the Moni-
teur Scientifque, an account of his re-
searches on the subject and his con-
clusions are as follows: Neat extracts
are neither directly nor indirectly food !;
for they do not contain albumenoid
matter, neither do the heterogeneous
principles which they contain arrest
assassination; that is, they do not
prevent the waste of the organic mat
ter which composes the body: In small
doses, those extracts are useful, by the
stimulant action of the potassa salts,
which promote digestion and circula-
ton; in strong doses-too large at
once-these substances may have a
very injurious effect. When given to
convalescents from serious diseases,
especially if the system is exhausted
by prolonged abstinence, the potassa
suits present in these extracts in large
quantities will act more iniurieusly,
because the system has lost . great
deal of chloride of sodium ; instead,
then, of promoting digestion, these
substances will interfere with it. a., by
the direct action of the salts of potash
on the blood globules, whereby the
absorption of the oxygen by these
globules is greatly decreased; (2) by
the predominance of such salts in the
serum of the blood which only physic
allydissolves:carbonic acid, and does not
allow the normal quantity of that gas
to be exhaled and thus impede the &C
cess of oxygen. Medical men should
bear in mind that if given alone,
these extracts, and likewise beef tea,
are no nutriment, and only tend to
keep the convalescent weak, being thus
ill fed, or rather, not fed at all. These
conclusions arc substantially those
entertained by Liebig and many othel
Investigators in the same field.

White Color for WOOlcns,

Relmann's Journal gives a formula
for the preparation of what is claimed
to be the most beautiful of all known
white colors. To prepare this, for each
hundred pounds of wool are to be taken
three pounds of alum, two pounds of
sulphuric acid, one pound of cream of
tartar, and three-eighths of on ounce of
anhyd1ous iodine violet. In this the
wool is to be immersed for an hour, ata
temperature Of 104degrees Fahrenheit.
The iodine violet must be blueish, and
the quantity to be used will vary slight
ly in amount with the tome Of the de-
sired white. A fresh blth of three
pounds of chloride of barium is also to
be made, and into this the blued wool
is to be introduced and left for two
hours, at a temperature of 104 Fab.
The result is a deposit of sulphate Of
barytes in the wool, Which retained a
quantity OF sulphuric acid from the
first bath. This gives to the wool a
beautiful white, and increases its
weight about 18 per cent. The use Of
the chloride of barium is, it is said,
preferable to the chalking Of white
goods, and for whitening the woods il,

Rihl,on Making I'm California.

The pioneer ribbon mill has been
started in San Francisco by an English
manufacturing firm. Raw silk, which
is free of duty, Is imported direct from
China, and the silk cocooneoies of Cali
fornia are expected to eventually sup
ply the demand. A tariff of sixtyfper
cent. protects the home manufacturer
against foreign competition, and IN adj
ditional ten per cent. for cost of i'm
portation added TO the duty, gives sew
enty per cent. in favor of the American
product.
1t is intended to produce ribbons of
all colors and widths, but the widest
now made are seven inches. The pieces
are twelve yards in length, and one
mans labor with the looms now in use
will finish 800 yards per week. Near
ness to the Chinese raw silk market,
and the growing supply Of the raw ma.
terial in California, are cited as advan-
tages to the home manufacturer.

While Shows are Falling.

The spring time came-the spring. time went.
With shimmering cloud and shining weather,
The golden glory Of June was spent;
On hills and fields We roamed together,
We walked through summers purple haze,
The futures dream Of bliss forestalling
And shuddering thought Of winter days,
With SHOWS a-falling.
For earth was all 50 wondrous fair,
And heaven smiled down 30 blue above 1t,
Each wandering breath Of balmy air,
But babe us learn anew to love 1t.
What wonder with al 10 bright,
And wild birds through the woodland calling,
We sighed to think Of winters night,
And snow s-falling.
But when at hast the world was dressed
In shining robes Of iee-mail cleaning,
And calm, white silence lulled to rest
The pale, dead flowers beneath it dreaming;
Behold! We woke to find made true
The hope our hearts mad been forestalhng,
And life grew fairer than we knew
While SHOWS were falling.
All we'll the days Of youth fly fast,
Their suns grow dim, their blossoms w1ther,
And al the dreams that made our past
Fly fast and far, We knew not whittier;
And when We tread ife's wintry slope,
We hear again their voices calling,
And Memory clasps the hand OF Hope,
While SHOWS arc falling.

The Eight Hour Law.

Halls journal of Health has plain
talk about the eight-hour law. 1t puts
the point essentially in this way: "If
pay for eight hours work as much as
- hours work is worth, my house costs
me one. third more than it is worth, :"
consequently the rent must be one
third higher. The workman gets as
mnch for his eight hours rs he used to
get for 10 or II, but house rent, and
food and clothing cost more: hence,
unless he works more than eight
hours he is living beyond his mcans. y

Lighter labor, nobler speech,
Standing Arn,, erect and strong,
Proud a. freedom, free as song7
LO! we grOan beneath tho weight
Our own weaknesses create;
Crook the knee aud shut tho lip,
All for tanner fellowship;
Load our slack, compliant clay
With the burden Of tho day.
Higher paths there arc to tread;
Frcsher fields around US spread;
Other flames Of sun and star
Flash at hand aud lure afar;
Larger manhood might VIC share,
suror fortune-did We dare!
In our mills Of common thought,
BY the pattern all II wrought
In our school Of life, the man
Wills to suit tho public plan,
And through labor, lovc aud play,
Shifts the burdens Of tho day.

Right hath each beneath the sun
To the breadth and liberal space

To the will, desire and decd!

But the people who shall aid
'Gainst the puppets they have made7
First they teach and then obey,
It's the burden Of the day.

Shattered by trumpet's poal7
Never airs that burst and blow
From eternal summits, know7

How q Man Feels When he Freezes
Narrow Escape from Death.
Paris, KY, Cor. Of the Gin. Enquirer.


Last night, DR.. j. T. Mcmillan, a
young dentist of this place. who was
returning from visit to North Middle
town, a small country village in this
county (situated about ten miles north
east from here), was found by q negro
man employed by Mr.. Frank Ford, and
who was returning home from Paris,
about half-past nine o'clock, in an in
sensible condition, and almost frozen to
death. We give the Doctors own &C.
count of his Journey, and his miracu-
lous escape from the icy clutches of the
grim monster:
II started from North Middletown
at six and half o'clock, with sufficient
wrapping, as I thought, to protect me
from cold. After having proceeded
about three miles on my journey, my
feet became very cold. By stamping
my feet upon the floor of the buggy,
Imagined I was perfectly warm, as my
feet troubled me no longer, and the
cold sensations through my body
ceased. /, however, felt dull and
sleepy, like a man who is drunk. I
didn't care for anything. At this point
I believe I began to freeze, and ought
to have known it, but felt so comfort
able that 1 did not examine my
situation. After I had driven about
three miles further my hat was
blown off, but, being in q hurry to
reach Paris, I did not stop to hunt for
it. When I had proceeded, perhaps a
mile further, letting the reins lie on
the bottom Of the buggy, and paying
no attention to my driving, my horse
SHE'D off the side of the road and ran
upon q rock pile. 1 then attempted to
get the lines and pull him off when I
discovered had lost the entire use of
my right, and could barely use my left
hand with this one attempted to pull
him off the rocks, but, the buggy
wheels being locked, I could not do It,
I then got out of my buggy, and in
doing so struck the bridge of my nose
across the wheel and cut it severely,
I went to the head of the
horse took hold of the bit and at
tempted to pull him around, but he
would not move. I then commenced to
unharness him, with the expectation of
pulling the buggy off the rocks myself,
feeling all the time very sleepy. When
had almost completed the task of un
hitching the horse from the buggy, the
desire for sleep became so great that /
could bear it no longer, and I laid down
upon the rocks by the side of the horse
and went to sleep. I must have lain
there some fifteen or thirty minutes,
when I was aroused by the boy who
found me. Upon his asking me where
he should take me, I told him
to Paris, still not being aware
of my critical condition. Upon arriv'
ing in Paris my feet were put in cold
water, which entirely, I think, cured
them, as they do not hurt me this
morning. My left hand does not give
me much pain, and think will be al
right in a few days; but my right hand
was badly frozen; nothing seemed te
do it any good, and am afraid shall
lose three, if not all four Of my fingers.
Last night when I arrived in Paris,
could give no account of myself, bu
this morning, I remember every Incl

WASHINGTON, February 6.-The Cab
met to day discussed, in an informal
manner, the recent REPORTS from Eng.
land with reference to the Treaty Of
Washington. There was unaninlity
of sentiment to adhere to the senti-
ments of the government relative to the
so-called Alabama Claims. At that
time the reference to the subject in the
Queens speech was not known. There
were throughout many inquiries in all
circles as to the tone Of the speech
toward the United States, and general
satisfaction was expressed when it was
ascertained to be friendly There is no
however, in any quarter to
consent to modification of the posi-
tion which the government has taken.

them outright have suddenly become

the government can easily escape from

against American extravaganza.
The Daily Telegraph complains that
