The DANGER OF CoAsTING.-As every one will
readily admit, this pastime although considerable
pleasure is derived from it, and is INDUCED in by
young and old OF both sexes, is by far the most
dangerous amusement that can be engaged in in
the manner in which IL is conducted in this city.
How many instances have been recorded where
children have been crippled and disfgured for
life, and very often death resulting from being
run over and trampled beneath the horses feet OF
team crossing the route over which they glide
with great rapidly. Nearly every day during the
time the snow is on the ground we hear Of some
one getting limb broken or otherwise injured by
the larger sleds generally large enough for eight
or ten to pile themselves upon, and generally
piloted by one who cares very little who he runs
into, he succeeds In overturning the aied with
out injuring himself) running over the smaller
ones who chance to be in their way. We think
it would be a commendable act Ia our city author
tiles to pass an ordinance restricting this pastime
TO the suburbs of the city, where IL would be less
practised, and less dangerous. and result In the
preservation CT limbs and probably lives.

According to this, fresh blood con-

is five times as rich. Blood may
be utilized as a manure by mixing
with dry peat, or coagulation with

According to numerous exper

According to numerous expert
ments by Professor Frazer, 224
grains of atropine, and | 4 grains of
the extract of Calebar bean, are
the smallest amounts of these sub
stances respectively necessary to
kill a rabbit weighing 81 pounds;
and the sulphite of eserine has ten
fold the effect of the extract. Dogs
are more easily affected than rab-
bits by atropine; 10 grains being
sufficient to kill dog weighing l6
pounds. The minimum ofeserine
necessary to produce death may,
however, be greatly exceeded ,dou-
bled, or even trebled without poi
sonons effect, if a certain amount
of sulphate of atropine is admins
tered with it, and the question
naturally arises whether e crime
and atropine neutralize each other
in cases Of other animals, especially
since dogs and rabbits are not very
sensitive to atropine.

OAREPULNESs IN OLD AGE.

An old man is like an old Wag-
on with light loading and care
full usage it will last for years but
enc heavy load or sudden strain
will break IL and ruin 1t forever.
SO many people reach the age of
fifty or sixty Orseventy. measure
bly, free from the pains and infirm
tiles Of age, cherry i'm heart and
sound in health, ripe i'm wisdom
and experiences with sympathies
mellowed by age, and with rea-
sOnable prospects and opportuni-
ties for continued usefulness in the
world for considerable time.
Let such persons be thankful, but
let them also be careful.
An old constitution is like an
old bone-broken with ease,
mended with difficulty. A young
tree bends to the gale, an old one
snaps and falls before the blast. A
single hard lift, an hour of heating
work, an evening of exposure to
rain or damp, severe chill, an
excess of food, the unusual indul
gence Of an appetite or passion, a
sudden fit of anger, an improper
dose of medicine-any of these or
similar other things may cut of a
valuable life in an hour and leave
the fair hopes of usefulness and en-
oyment but shapeless wreck
