Physiological Action Of Ouinlne.

The physiological action of quinine
has lately been the subject of detailed
experiment by Binz, who found it to
have extraordinary power i'm arresting
the process of fermentation and putre-
faction, and to be a powerful poison for
low organisms, or, in other words, for
all moving bodies consisting of proto-
plasms. 1t appears to kill fungi and
bacteria, which accompany fermenta-
ton and putrefactioD, and puts stop
to these processes. 1t arrests the mo-
ton of the white blood corpuscles, and
thus prevents them from making their
exit from the blood-vessels. 1t there
fore diminishes or arrests the forma-
ton of pus in Inflammation, pus con-
sisting in great measure of an accumu-
latfOn of white corpucles which have
issued from the vessels. 1t also de-
stroys the power of certain substances
to produce ozone. The red blood cor
puscles have this power, and, by de-
priving them of it, quinine, when
present in the blood. must diminish the
change of tissue in the body, and there
by lessen the production of heat.
1t is also found that quinine lessons
oxidation in the blood; other substan-
ces, such as snake poison, increasing
it. When putrid fluids are projected
into the circulation Of an animal, its
temperature rises; but if these are pre-
viously mixed with quinine, this rise
is arrested, or very much diminished
According to Zuntz, the use of quinine
has n marked influence upon the eX-
cretiOn of urea, the amount diminish
ing very greatly. -EDIToR's SCIEN-

The stock Of coffee In the principal
European entrepots on the 31st of May
was 50, $40 tons, against 96, $50 and 104, :
O50 at the corresponding period of 1871
and 1870 respectfully. The imports
into the six principal ports of the
United States to the end of May were
81, 200 tons, against 65, 800, but in view
of the abolition of the duty, which took
effect July 3lst, the deliveries were
only AZ, 900 tons, against 81, 900, leaving
the stock In first hands on the LIST ult.
$4,000 tons, against 5000 in 1871. The
shipments from Rio de Janeiro during
May were only $1,000 bags to the
States, against los, 600, and $4,000 to
Europe, against ~, 900, making a total
from lst July to 3lst May of 9Si, 600
bags to the States, against 1850, coo,
ard 4S7, 900 bags to Europe, against
$4,000 in 1S70-71; at the latest date
the receipts were about 400 bags per
diem, and the stock was I4O, 900 bags.
The quantity afioat from Ceylon and
the Malabar coast is 9,l00 tons planta-
ton against 1890, and 1900 native
against 1900 last year; there is now a
great discrepancy between the value
of native and plantation coffee, and
looking at the prospective smallsupply
of the latter, we expect TO see that dis
crepancy gradually disappear by rise

According to the official returns the
Java crop of 1871 yielded only $40, 100
piculs against 1883 500 in 1870. The
deliveries i'm Holland during the past
six months amounted to 3T9, 700 bags
against 415, 300, the stock is $50, GOO

Figuring on Fencing.

At a Farmers Club of Chester Co.,
Pa, member figured on fencing of a
farm as follows:
To enclose a farm of one hundred
acres i'm square form and divide it into
nine equal enclosures, it will take
about 800 panels of posts and rail
fence, including yards, orchards, &c.
But as our farms average over a hum
dred acres, are irregular shaped, twill
require 1000 panels of fence, and all
well know that good post fence will
cost one dollar panel, which will
make.a cost of 5000 to begin with.
This with interest at six per cent. with
compound interest for fifteen years lat
which time new posts will be required),
will amount to s., 1911. The new
posts and labor required will amount
to so cents panel, making 81 900; this
added to the other, makes IS, 793, IL;
with interest compounded for another
ID years makes $14, $50. 40. The fence
will now again require new posts, pre-
Stunning the rails will last another set
of posts, at a cost again of 50 cents a
panel, making $1,000 to be added to
the S13, $50. 40, making ga $685. 40. This
sum on interest compound another Is
years will make S3I ,666.1S. 1t is now
IS years, and our posts and rails are
both worn out, and the whole of this
snug little sum is gone, and our farm
without fence. Don't be alarmed, as
this thing transpires with all of us
who farm over one hundred acres
forty-five years. If we don't actually
put up the fence at this cost we buy it
already put up when buying the farm,
and if the farm should be fenced with
the notwithstanding worm fence the
cost will be near two-thirds of this
sum, and If we continue this system of
farming and fencing another outlay of
a dollar a panel, or more, will be re-
CURED. Methinks / hear some one
say, "Why, my fencing didn't cost me
half that muih.n TO those all / have
to say is, count the cost of all the time
spent i'm rel airs, hauling boards, &c.

Millions on the strike

In spite of the enormous amount of
capital invested in the promotion of In
temperance, the Missionaries of Sobri-
ety have no reason to be disheartened.
The strike against alcoholic drinks is
not confined to the ordinary liquors of
commerce. It is extending to all medi-
cines of which ardent spirits form q
component part. The belief that st1m-
ulants of this nature are sloao poisoas
gains ground everywhere. Eminent
Psychologists preach the doctrine, and
the dissecting knife and the MICROSCOPE
afford post n,orte1a evidence of its truth.
Fortunately at the very time when our
distinguished surgeons were making the
experiments which led to this conclu-
sion a sagacious member of the profess
sion, DIR. Joseph Walker, of California,
was perfecting q vegetable tonic, pos
sessing all the restorative properties
claimed for the spirituous astringents.
and free from their deadly sting. To
those demoralizing, health destroying
potions his famous Vinegar Biters
seem to be giving the coup de grace.
The demand for them declines, while
the commercial and sanitary success of
the new medicine is complete. And we
hear daily of cases of dyspepsia, bilious
ness, malariOus fever, rheumatism, con-
stipation, general and local debility,
govt, kidney disease, ETC.. ETC., that
have succumbed to the great restorative
after resisting all others.

the weather is changing from warm to

"Fourth-Do not give any salt for at
least twenty-four hours before putting

of the second day. 7,.ere
"Fifth-Do not let them remain in

A PARIS correspondent of the New
York Dispatch writes: AS the !ilacs
are now in such abundance, they recall
a touching story we heard some while
ago. A poor wOrSing girl was looking
in at the window of one of those lovely
flower shops of Paris lit showing hard
at the time) at branch white lilac.
Her face was beautiful, pale and wet
with tears. She hesitatingly opened
the door and asked the price. "Tan
francs" was the reply. "Ten francs"
and she reluctantly laid it back, but
two drops glistened on the flowers thas
were not there before. my darling
baby" she sobbed, HE came when the
lilacs were in bloom, and he must leave
forever without one poor little branch
in his hand" "YOu have lost your
little one ?' asked the flower woman.
A heart sob and bent head replied.
The flower woman then took the poor
girls apron. putting back the profered
money. ''NO! no it shall not be said
in heaven that made you pay for the
last little bed of your babe" 1fi

Feast DAYS In Peru.

Not less than 500, 200 people in Peru,
it is estimated, observe as many as fifty
feast days annually. Fifty times 5O0,-
600 are 100000 This, then, is the
number of days actually subtracted
from the labor value of the country in
che year in this way. If each one of
these days represents but the value of
a single real in labor, the loss i'm the
aggregate for one year alone to the ma
terial wealth of the country amounts
to the large sum of 9, SOC, 600 soles! But
when we consider that the above COM
putation tells but half the story-that
probably more than three times that
number of days are wasted upon un-
necessary and ofteDtimes unmeaning
feast days, the truth becomes imposing.
Enough of time is yearly expended in
feast days in Peru to build first-class
railway every five years.-Callao and

The most skeptical person would be
convinced of the utility of folding
sheep upon turnips, If he could see the
ground ON the farm of the writer thus
treated. The corn was rather late
planted; but the stalks are from eight
to ten feet tall at this writing, June "a,
and some of them ara 80 large that
hey can not be spanned with one
hand. In color, they are as dark as
the richest bottom land corn. Upon
the rest of the same field and same
quality of land, the corn will not aver
age more than waist high. Now, the
bringing of this piece of ground to this
fertility costs nothing. The expense
of the .urnips was more than betrayed
by the benefit to the sheep during the
winter. The corn on an acre of natur-
ally much richer land, MANFRED last
year with eight hundred pounds of
Ober's manipulated, was not equal to
the corn, this year, on this folded land.
This sheep manure will be felt for a
term of years. If any one willtry this
folding process, even on as small a
scale as an acre OF, half an acre of tur-
Dips, it will not be necessary to urge
him to repeat it afterward on larger
scale. The farmer may say: 81 have
no portable fence and can not afford to
buy one." Very well. He will be in
different condition from most of us,
if he has not some old and light pine
rails. These will answer for an ex-
pertinent, as the pen can easily be
moved. Another may complain that
he has no suitable ground for turnips.
He is under the impression that he
must do as his father did before him.
That is, begin to cow-pen the turnip
patch in the winter, continue it during
the spring and summer, and pillow it
every time the corn is plowed. But
this is all unnecessary. Take any land,
il may be broomsedge, that has good
clay foundation. Turn it over well
with two-horse pillow. subsoiling it, if
possible. Harrow it first the way it
was plowed; then cross-harrow until
the surface is perfectly pulverized. Lay
Off the rows two and a half feet apart
with deep furrow; apply stable man
rre in the furrOw, if within reach, il
not, three or four thousand pounds of
some reliable superphosphate to the
acre, cover with two burrows, level the
top of the ridge with a board and sow
the seed. The roller will be of great use
after sowing. Thin out the turnips to
ten inches distance, pillow and hoe once,
and the work is completed. If the
turnips come well, and carefully folded
with sheep, that farmer will see the
finest cotton or corn next year that he
ever saw grow on upland, and the man
ure will not have actually cost him a
cent

that letters from Jacob Thompson to
Judah p. Benjamin, Secretary of State
of the Southern Confederacy, which
Eave been found among the Confed-

Confederate States both for the purpose

and fer organizing conference.-the

Sleeping Flowers.

Almost all flowers sleep during the
night. The marigold goes to bed with
the sun, and with him rises weeping.
Many plants are so sensitive that they
close their leaves during the passage of
a cloud. The dandelion opens at five
or six in the morning, and shuts at
nine in the evening. The goat's-beard
wakes ut three in the morning, and
shuts OF five or six in the evening. The
English daisy shuts up its blossom in
the evening, and opens its ebay s-eye"
to meet the early beams of the morning
sun. The crocus, tulip, and many
others, close their blossoms at different
hours toward the evening. The ivy
leaved lettuce opens at eight in the
morning, and closes forever at four in
the afternoon. The night-fowering
cereus turns night into day. 1t begins
to expand its mas nificent sweet-scented
blossoms in the twilight it is full
blown at midnight, and closes, never to
open again, with the dawn of day. In

The Fastest Mile.
A Bost n letter to the New York

A Bost n letter to the New York
Herald of the Goth says:
Mr.. Bonner, of New York, can again
be happy in the possession of the fast
est trotler in America. His famous
the Mystic Park in this city for the last
few weeks, to-day earned for himself
the proud distinction of making mile
in less time than any other horse in
the country. For several days he has
been regularly tested, and on Wednes-
day he accomplished his time in 2:lS.
To-day, however, he did still better,
making the distance In 2:15!, which
stands as the fastest time on record.
The ribbons were held by Jack Bowen,
who has had the horse in training,
and over the course 10. Elliott was sent
TO the best advantage. The one quarter
pole he passed, and was noted there at
thirth-four and quarter seconds and
by the half in 1:7t. With grand
stride he came down the homestretch
and under the wire in 2:l5I. The
judges were G. Chase, Albert Worces-
ter, Lon Morris, w. w. Gomez and B.
s. Wright.
All these gentlemen timed the horse,
and, with one exception, their record
was 2:15l. The timer who differed
gave him the mile i'm 2:l5f, but it was
decided to record the slowest time in
Dictated. The following telegram has
been sent to Mr.. Bonner:
