With every change of season we have a change
in the hygenc character of the air. In the spring
II is impregnated especially in low lying, wet dis
tricts, with mephitic vapors, which generate chils
and fever, rheumatism. indigestion, biliousness
and diseases Of the organs of respiration. 1t is
therefore particularly necessary at this tiue OF
the year to invigorate and regulate the system so
as to enable 1t to repel the morbid influences to
which 1t is more or less subjected. The stomach
should be toned, the bowels freed from obstruc
tions, the blood purified, and the nerves braced
and strengthened. This can be easily done. Hos

and perfect harmessness. 1t is positive antitott

who are peculiarly sensitive to unhealthy and at

TRANSMISSION of Blood.

"Ihe first trial, of TRANSMISSION of blood
ever made" Denis says, twas made ON a
young man, fifteen or sixteen years old.
This youth was attacked by a slow fever,
for which the doctors had bled him twen-
ty times. He had become dull and sleepy,
from the treatment, to the point of stu
pidity. Some little warmth was felt dur
ing the operation. Eight ounces of blood
were taken from him, and arterial blood
from the carotid of lamb was immediate
ly introduced by the same opening. He
got up about ten O'Clock, dined with ex-
cellent appetite, and went to sleep at four
in the afternoon. He bleed slightly from
the nose"
The operation having succeeded, Denis
tried second, but more from curiosity
than necessity this time. The author re-
lates it himself as concisely as before.
"The TRANSMISSION was effected upon a
chair-porter, ofvigorous constitution. for
ty-tive years old. Ten ounces of blood
were taken from him, and lambs blood
substituted. The man complained of no
pain during the operation, and was de-
lighted beyond measure with the new in
vention, which seemed to him very ingen-
ious. When it was all over, he declared
that he never felt better. Employment
Offering about noon, he carried sedan as
usual for the rest of the day. Next day
he begged that no one but himself might
be etaken as subject for new experiments. ."
Three years before, TRANSMISSION of blood
had been practiced by Lower in England,
but only on dogs. Denis repeated with
these animals the experiments he had
made on men. These were varied in the
most interesting ways. He not only
transfused the blood of one animal into
the veins of another; but from the Sth to
the 14th of March, in 1867, he caused the
same blood to pass into three different
dogs successiveG. Granting the correct
ness of the views then prevalent, he then
realized the famous Pythagorean fable of
the transmigration Of souls. The expert
menter was also bent no making his dis
coyeries generally known, proposing to
make trials in public, and, for this pur-
pose, he fixed for the first day of his lee
lures Saturday, the 10th of March, of
the same year, at two in the afternoon, on
the quay of the Augustus" History does
not inform us whether Denis carried out
his plans.-Revue des Deur Mondes.

A POlsOn-PrOOf Bird.

A correspondent of Science Gossip tells
of an attempt to capture specimen of
the scavenger-bird or "adjutant," of India,
in which he failed in most unexpected
way. On account Of its valuable services
in clearing the streets of decaying and
putrid matter, the bird is held in high es-
TEEN by the natives, who take every pre-
caution to protect it from harm. This
prevented an open attack, and poison was
the only alternative. The carcass of a
partially y-dissected bat was stuffed wi h
enough arsenical paste and corrosive sub
Innate to kill twenty men, and the titbit
thrown to a flock of the birds near by.
One of them swallowed the whole of it at
a gulp, and our student in comparative
anatomy thought his game secure. But,
though closely watched for three hours,
not the slightest sign of uneasiness was
manifested. and at the end of this time the
creature flew away with its fellows, ap.
parently as we'll as the best of them. The
accustomed naunts of the flock were af
terward carefully searched, but no trace
could be found of the dead body wanted
and it was concluded that, unlike Other
gormands, this one was not to be easily
got at through his stomach.

English Women.

AS rule, women in English society
are remarkably natural-negatiyely nat
ural, mean. English girls are partic-
ularly simple and unassuming. They
are innocent of all effort to impress or as
tonish. AS all womankind does and
should do, they make themselves as pret.
ty as they can; bat as to personal supe-
riorities, their educators do notlay enough
stress upon such things to make them
ambitious to excel in that way. All
| young ladies are taught certain mode of
it goes. The chief precept of the code,
whether inculcated openly or by the
silent feeling of society, is that each
young lady must do as the rest. That
"young English girl" who is the theme
of the novelist and the magazine bards
and artists, easily merits all the adulation
she receives. Does not all the world
know, is it not almost an impertinence to
say, that for dignity, modesty, proprie-
ty, sense, and certain soft self-posses-
sion, she has hardly her equal anywhere?
But the Brititish maiden is taught that
ambition in character is not desirable
thing. The naturalness and propriety
which accompany this state of mind are
not particularly admirable. 1t is very
different from that propriety which is the
result of elevation Of character, of con-
clusions intimately known and constantly
practiced. People who have activity and
ambition are very apt to be affected, and
very apt to unduly crave recognition.
That we ask to be thought superior,
shows at least that we prize superiority.
When the young are left to their own
growth, and no restrictive tariff is put
upon individuality, we may expect little
nonsense. Society will certainly do a
great thing for the young if it teaches
But this society does not do. fear. 1t
merely instructs them not to ask for re-
cognition, because by so doing they make
a bad impression. 1t has done them a
still more doubtful service, if, in giving
them this very good trait, it has also
taught them to emphasize less strongly
the superiorities of character and con-
duct.-E. s. Nadat in april atlantic.

Attracting Attention.

IT is way some people have, and they
know no happiness without it. Unless
they can be central point in room, the
persons to whom the largest amount of
attention is given, and who attract all re-
CARDS. they are miserable; if they are
sensitive as well as vain, they fret at being
snubbed; if only vain, they chafe at TN
deserved neglect. This comparative
neglect they cannot endure; their ego
tism must have attention by fair means or
foul; they must do or say something to
startle the surrounding world into eager
observation, and so bring themselves TO
the front. They are not in the least de-
gree particular as to their method.
When they cannot attract attention by
supremacy in grace, in beauty, in wit,
they manage to do so by exaggeration ;
by outrageousness in dress, by audacity
