session of the New England conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church will be held
in this city, at Trinity church, beginning
Wednesday morning, March q. Rev. Bishop
Edward Il. Ames will preside. The New En-
gland conference formerly included the six east
en states, but as the number Of ministers and
church members has increased, the original
conference has been divided and subd vd-
ed, so that, now, the New England con-
ference, so called, is restricted TO that part
of Massachusetts east OF Berkshire county,
excluding all the southeastern portion of the
state south of lire drawn from the northeast
corner of Rhode Island to the town Of bingham,
and also excluding that part of the state lying
north of the Merrimac river. Nearly three
hundred ministers will be in attendance. The
session of the conference will continue nearly Il
week, and all the meetings will be open to the
public. Our Methodist friends in the city are
now engaged in making arrangements to enter
tam this large company at their respective
homes.

SaIt-IteL Effect on the Blood.

DR.. Stevens, a French physician,
saw a butcher killing a pig. He
observed that he stirred the blood
of the animal, and added handful
of common salt to it while stirring.
which made it crimson, and the stir
ring being discontinued, remained
fluid. The change of color awaken
ed his curiosity. The butcher could
give no explanation of the phenome-
non, except that it kept it from jel-
lying and spelling. DR.. Stevens
seized vessel, caught some Of the
blood, and made several experients
by putting salt into it, and found
that the blacklist blood was instant
ly changed to a bright vermillion
by salt. "And," said he, "here is
a fact that may lead to a practical
rule" He had observed, in cases
of yellow fever in the army, that
the blood drawn was very black and
fluid, and on adding salt 1t became
vermillion and retained its fresh
ness whereas, putridity of the blood
is one of the characteristics of yell
low fever. He therefore abandoned
the usual mode of treating it, and
gave his patients n mixture of va
rious salts, and in a very short time
reduced the mortality of fever in the
West Indies from one in five to one
in fifty.

Advice TO Bathers.

Mr.. Lambton Young, the Secreta-
ry of the Royal Humane Society,
publishes the following excellent adj
vice to bathers:
Avoid bathing within two hours
after a meal.
Avoid bathing when exhausted by
fatigue or from any other cause.
Avoid bathing when the body is
cooling after perspiration; but battle
when the body is warm, provided no
time is lost in getting into the water.
Avoid chilling the body by sitting
or standing naked on the banks or
in boats, after having been in the
water.
Avoid remaining too long in the
water, but leave it Immediately there
is the slightest feeling of chillness.
Avoid bathing altogether in the
open air if, after having been a short
time in the water, there is a sense of
chilliness, with numbness of the
hands and feet.
The vigorous and strong may
battle early in tho, morning on az
empty stomach; but the young and
those who are weak had better battle
three hours after Il meal; the best
time for such is from two to three
hours after breakfast.
Those who are subject to attaks of
giddiness and faintness. and those
who suffer from palpitalion or other
sense of discomfort at the heart,
should not battle without first con
sulting their medical adviser.

Wonders.

Lewinbeck tells us of an insect
seen with q microscope, of which
twenty-seven millions would only
equal mite.
Insects of various kinds may be
seen in the cavities of a grain of
sand.
Mold is a forest Of beautiful trees,
with branches, leaves and fruit.
Butterflies are fully feathered.
Hairs are hollow tubes.
The surface OF our bodies is cover
ed with scales, like fish; a single
grain of sand would cover one hun
dred and fifty of these scales, and yet
a gcale covers five hundred pores.
Through these narrow openings the
perspiration forces itself, like water
through sieve.
The mites take five hundred steps
O second.
Each drop of stagnant water con-
tains world of animated beings,
swimming with as much liberty as
whales in the sea,
Each leaf has a colony of insects
grazing on it, like COWS In meadow.
MoRAL.-Have some care as to the
air you breathe, the food you eat,
and the water you drink.

ChOleraIc Diarrb@a.

Prot. Johnson of Kings College
Hospital has published lectures on
this subject In which opinions are
advanced that controvert many pop
ular ideas. In the collapse he sees
not exhaustion but poisoned blood.
Diarrhea is, by nature, set up to
eliminate this poison, Which in the
bad epidemic has a virulence in its
action equal to the venom of the
cobra snake. The rule heretofore
has been to quiet the Irritation and
stop the diarrh@a by opiates, astrin-
gents, and aromatics. This he nat
urally considers a fatal practice, es-
pecially if the case is a bad one, as
thereby the poison is detained in
stead of allowing it to pass off. No
such attempt should be made to stop
the irritation as long as tho poison
is in the system. Recovery may be
favored by dilution through copious
drinking of water, cold or tepid,
toast-water, barley-water, or weak
tea; or recovery may be accelerated
by sweeping out the alimentary ca
nal with castor-oil or rhubarb.
Whether in cholera times or not,
people are altogether too ready, by
the remedies known to every fami-
~, to check diarrhea. The hint is
given plainly enough that some
thing, perhaps indigestible food, is of
Tending the system and must be got
rid Of To stop this effort of nature
is to make matters worse, and per-
haps greatly injure the patient in
some cases. Professor johnson
notes that cholera is born of filth
which is introduced through food
air, or water and he urges that the
most important consideration is to
prevent the disease by purifying ain
and water.

A New Enemy to the Corn Plant.

We notice that in many places this
season, the compliant is attacked by
by minute insect, very similar to
what gardeners who have graperies
call the ''thrip." It is so small that
it can only be seen distinctly by q
pocket lens, when it appears as a
small whitish-brown thread, about a
line in length. It is, however, very
active. When disturbed, it jumps
like the cabbage-fea. It feeds on
the green matter of the leaves, usual
~ eating in straight lines up and
downA between the ribs, leaving an
appearance of delicate, thread like
lines where they have fed. That
they are q serious injury is evident
from the fact that the corn so at
tackled is not so thrifty and vigorous
as that free from the visitations of
the insect. Indeed, as the effect is
to prevent the use of half the leaf
surface to the plant, it must be an
injury. It is the same as plucking
off one of the leaves, the consequence
of which we all know very well.
Whether it has come to stay, or is
only a casual visitor. remains to be

OLD PARsoN S., Of Connecticut,
was a particular kind of q person.
One day he had a man ploughing in
his field, and he went out to see how
the work was going on. The ground
was very stony, and every time the
plough struck a stone the man took
occasion to swear a little.
"Look here" cried Person S.,
" you musn' swear that way in my
field"
Well, reckon you'd swear too"
said the man, +" if you had to plough
such a stony field as this"
"Not a BIT of it, said Mr.. S. Gust
let me show you"
So the parson took hold of the
plough, but he very soon had great
trouble with the stones. AS stone
after stone caught the ploughshare,
Mr.. S. calculated :
We'll, [ never saw the hkep'
And this he repeated every time
a stone stopped his onward way.
When he had ploughed around once
he stopped and said to the man
"There, now! You see l can
plough without swearing"
I" But l guess it's pretty near as
bad to lie" said the man, and you
told a dozen o. lies. Every time
the plough struck a stone, you said
" 1 never saw the like" when the
same thing had happened the very
minute before"

Lost HenIsn RegaLnesI.

Selfneglect lays the foundation of much bodily
suffering AS a rule men are more solicitous to re-
pair and preserve their houses, stock in trade and
other perishable property than to repair and pre-
serve themselves. They can see when wall re-
quires a prop, or a weak structure girder, but
appear to be unconscious of, or indifference TO, the
cracks and flaws and evidences of decaa in their
own frail and sensitive organizations.
The consequence of this want of common prn-
dence is that thousands fan by the wahside in the

Rronchftia.

This Is an irritation or inflammation
of the bronchial tubes which carry the
air we breathe into the lungs. It arises
from a cold settled In the throat, from
Catarrh extending to these parts, from
scrofuIous affections, and from severe
use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences IN the lar
7asr and gJotis, which are the organs Of
the voice, and, extending downwards,
produces hoarseness, coughing, and
splitting mucous matter, sometimes
mixed with blood. It is chiefly danger
GUS from its tendency to spread into the
lungs, and terminate In consumption.
1t is In the cure of severe and obstinate
cases of this disease that DR.. Pierce
Golden Medical Discovery has achieved
unparalleled success, and won the loud
est praise from all who have used it. 1t

Cutting Timothy too Close.

A writer in the Fair Play, at
Fulton, Mo-, says: eve are led to
think, that in our dry, hot climate,
the timothy meadows are cut too
close. This is particularly the case
when the cutting is done with a
mower, which is now almost uni
versal. The bulb having been
shaded in its growth by the tall
grass, is suddenly laid bare to the
almost vertical rays of a burning
July and August sun, which dries
every particle of moisture IN it; con-
sequently when the rains come, the
bulb has lost its terminating pow
er. We noticed last year, where a
small portion Of a meadow was cut
with a cradle for seed, that the
growth of grass during the fall was
far greater, and also, that the timo-
thy is a great deal heavier on that
part this season than alongside
where it was mown close with the
machine.

The True Healing Art recognizes
these laws and applies them to the
treatment of disease and the remoV-
al of abnormal conditions. Diseases
are the results of disobedience to
organic laws. These laws are dis
obeyed in two ways. LIST. Using
things which are abnormally related.
I'd. Misusing things which are alb
normally related. Thus the use of
poisons or the misuses of food
are equally causes of disease.
The disease itself is the remedial
struggle. 1t is the efforts of the liv-
ing system to expel injurious things
and recover the normal state. Hence
the business of the true physician is
to aid and assist this effort by sup
plying the conditions that viii rem

uses, as remedial agent, only those
