SALT N SICKNESS. Scuddrrsavs:
81 am satisfied that have seen patients
die from the deprivation of common salt
during protracted illness. 1t is a com
mon impression that the food for the
sick should not be seasoned, and what
ever slop may be given. it is almost in
nOcent of this essential TO life. In the
milk diet that ] recommend in sickness
common salt is used freely, the milk be
ing boiled and given hot And if the
patient cannot take the usual quantity

This matter is so important that it can
not be repeated too often, or dwclt upon
too long. The most marked example of
this want OF common salt | have ever
noticed has been in surgical diseases. es-

supply of salt the tongue would become

HUsK MATS.-These useful articles
can be made by the boys at their leisure
A writer in the Rural NelC Yorker tells
how to make them: Separate the corn
husks from the stem and sort them,
throwing aside all that are brittle or de-
cayed. Dampen them a little by dip
ping into warm water, and wiring as dry
as possible, if they are to be braided i'm
mediately. Select nine good-sized husks.
and tie a strong twine around them
about one inch from the but ends. which
should be even. Separate them below
the twIne into three equal parts. and
proceed to braid, adding husk or two
as each strand is Tapped over, leaving an
inch or so projecting at the butt-end of
each husk for the brush. The braid
should be about one inch in width. Sew
the braids together on the smooth side,
with strong twine and coarse a needle,
shaping them into oblong, round or
square mats, as fancy dictates. Some
prefer to dip the husks into red. blue or
Drown dye before braiding, which makes
Them prettier of course. Every outside
door should have one.

TRAVELLING on THE FARAL-Did any
of our readers ever think of the amount
of travel it takes to raise cropof corn :
l never saw an illustration in print, and
thought l would give you one l have
a twenty-acre field, forty by eighty rods
To break this up would take 166 miles
Furrowing out 80 miles. Planting, 45
miles with a planter, and if dropped and
then covered, 80 miles. And for each
plowing of two burrows in a row, 80
miles; of five plowinSs, 450 miles. Thus
you will see, is takes 500 or 800 miles of
travel to raise twenty acres of corn, not
counting going to and from the field.
Besides there is replanting, thinning,
rolling, &c.-Ind. GARNER.

that in sugar the losses by the flood will

And when mourners and stokers convene,
You will see that they light me some solemn,

And warn them against kerosene.

When my carbon floats up to the sky;

May is like my bonny love;
HeaSen's g own blue is in her skies
So it's in my dearie's eyes.
May, love; my love, love;
May is fair,
May is rare,
Who with May can e'er comparc'
May hath balmy breath of flowers;
May hath roses fresh and sweet;
Blithely on her dancing feet,
Come and go the sunny hours.
May SO feet--
May so sweet
Who with May can e'er competel

And her breath is balIny sweet
And her lissome, dancing feet
Scarce disturb the flow rets' dew.
My love is rare,
My love is fair,
My love with May can aye compare.
o, my love hath brow Of snow;
Golden sunshine, bright and fair,
Nestles in her coiling hair,
And her voice is soft and low.
Come, May, and greet

My love with May can aye compete.

Death Of the Big RhinOcerOs in the Lon.
dom Z3OlOgicai Gardens.

From the London News, December l6.
The 5000 is in mourning for one
of its hugest and Oldest inhabitants.
The great rhiaoceros, which had been
from its earliest days a conspicuous
obi ect in the elephant house, has at
last succumbed to the scythe-bearer-
or whoever the rhinoceral typical rep
resentative Of death may be. For
twenty-four years the creature had
lived in comfortable quarters, and
withstood the rigors Of IN English
climate for twenty four years it had,
day after day, partaken of it's plain
meals of hay and similar food, and day
after day for twenty. four years it had
thrust its snout as far as possible be-
tween the massive bars of its den. and
opened its capacious jaws to receive the
g%ratuitles of it's admiring visitors.

oranges ana apples, and other tit-blts..
The rhinoceros is liable to sudden out
bursts OF violent temper, and the late
individual was no exception
to the this general failing of its race.
Severa years ago, in a furious attack
on the rails of its den, 1t broke it's law.
and was for some time in rather a dam
gerous condition. It, however, survived
the accident, and has safely passed
through tho vicissitudes of English
weather, and it may be considered that
twenty-fOur years is about the average
length Of life among this species Of
pachydermate. The hippopotamus has
bred in the gardens, but no success has
attended the attempts to breed the
r"hinoceros in captivity, their violent
tempers rendering it dangerous for
them to be temporarily housed to-
gether. The skeleton and skin of the
deceased creature are to be preserved.
and valuable preparations will no doubt
be made.

Postal Cards.

1t will interest both stationere anu
paper makers to know what effect the
Introduction of postal cards has had
on the consumption of paper. Up to
date there have been about seventy
millions of these cards made, most OF
which have gone into consumption. A
large number have been used in cases
where but for their existence no COM
munication ut all would have been
made, and so they cannot be said to
have wholly been used as a substit tie
for writing paper. Where their CON-
petition has been most felt has bren in
their extensive use for circulars, IN
which they are specially fitted. Here.
however, they have replaced book and
newspaper, as we'll as fine writing. 1t
Is safe to estimate one million postal
cards as equivalent to the same num-
Der Of half sheets of note PAPER of
medium weight, or say three tons and
one.eighth. This. would make the to-
tai product to date rs equal to about
two hundred tons III round numbers,
allowing for those which have not re-
placed any other writing materials.
This would barely equal the product of
five mills at Holy okc for five days, and
1T is certainly not enough to cause any
alarm. For ourselves, VIC doubt il
through the competition of postal
cards the consumption of fine paper
has been lesscned 100 tons, while we
believe it has Indirectly stimulated
the consumption of the latter. La this
We may state that the con
sumption OF envelopes has not been
by the Introduction of postal
cards, but that the four or five leading
manufacturers are behind their orders,

What do You want to raise ? "Cu-

would steal them" "No, SIR" said

crop was the result. AS fast, however,
as the fruit %ripened, it disappeared,
