The american Journal OF Health and Med
actne says, in speaking of cold water applied
to the eyes, that the aquatic furore has be-
come so general, that for the simple reason
tnat cold water in pure, natural product, it
is claimed to be a universal and beneficial ap-
plication. Arsenic is a pure, natural and
simple product; so is prussc acid as obtained
from the peach kernel. single drop of to-
eaeco oil will kill a cat or dog in five minutes.
Many persons are daily running their eyes by
opening them in cold water mornings. Cold
water will harden and roughen tie hands.
and much more will lido so to the manifold
more delicate covering OF The eve: or. the
eye will, in self-defense, become sealy. in the
manner of fish; that is, the coats Of the
eye will .hicken, constituting species OF
cataract, which must impair the sight. That
water, cold and harsh as it is, should be ap-
piled. to the eye fer curative purposes, in place
of that sUft, warm, iuur1catlnS fluld which
nature manufactures for just such purposes,
indicates great thoughtlessness or great mem
tai obliquity. Nothing stronger than luke
warm water should ever be applied to the
eye, except by special medical advice, and un-
der special medical supervision.

New Fruits,

Hon. Marshall p. Wilder, in his address
before the American Pathological Convention,
uttered the following sentiment:
''That as fine fruits can be raised fiom
seed here as have been produced in any other
country, there is no longer doubt. That
this is the plan prescribed by our bountiFuI
Creator for their production and improve
ment is equally true. That there is any limit
to its progress and extent, we have no reason
to believe. True, the number of superior
fruits Is small compared with the Indifferent
varieties that have come down to Ius from the
past. One reason for this is, that our taste
tor finer fruits has been elevated to a higher
standard, and those of an indifferent or me
dium quality fall out OF the way; and we
have no doubt that the old pears so highly
lauded by historians, were most, if not all
OF them, only coarse unmeltng kinds. When
we reflect upon what has been accomplished
III the improvement of animals and vegetables
in our own dav, and how many splendid
acquisitions have been brought forth that
command the admiration of the world
when we reflect upon the many fine Ameri-
can fruits already obtained with but compar-
atively little etfort,-we surely have cause
for great encouragement and perseverance.
There is no limit to progress now or hereafter.
and we believe that the fruits OF this earth
are to become more and more perfect as time

salt as an aid 10 Manure.

About five O'Clock one fine summers morn
ing, L noticed that where the salt had been
sown the previous day, every grain of salt
had attached to itself the dew, and formed on
its surface wet spot about the size OF a six
pence, the ground being generally very dry.
On our light lands it consolidates them and
makes them especially firm and acceptable to
the wheat plant, whose straw will stand firm
and erect, although four and half to five
feet long. 1t is also uniavorable to certain
weeds by this consideration. 1t prevents the
ravages of the wire worm. IL is especially Ia
vorable to saline plants, such as mangolds.
whose ashes contain fifty per cent of salt. L
never sow guano, except mixed with its own
weight of salt. Like everything else, it has.
am sorry to say, greatly risen in price. L
observe that all crops seem to thrive well on
land near salt water, especially where the
land is drained.-IFes Rural.
