CHANGES IN PERsIA.-Rev. Mr.. Old
father writes of changes in Persia
'Times OF weighty moment are now
balancing in the religious and political /
scales of Persia. Lines of telegraph |
already checker it. Baron Reuter- and |
his company of engineers from England |
are now surveying a railway from Resht |
to Teheran and BAndor BOoshar. There /
is much inquiry after schools, and dill |
gence TO learn. The Shah is taking |
wise measures for the good of his |
subjects-in a word, Persia is awaken |
ing to the demands of the age.
Mr.. J. HANAUER, of London, Eng
land, according to the Paper and Print
ing Trades Journal, has patented a
method of making paper, by passing it
through the heated cylinders, which
can not be distinguished without close
inspection from damask to the finest
quality. AS these papers can be pro-
duced either white, colored, or chrome
printed, they may be used as table
cloths, table napkins, coverlets, table
covers, bridal dresses, baby's robes,
etc. Another patentee, Mr.. J. L. Ken
dell, proposes to print a thick paper
and use it as a substitute for oil-cloth.
PROTECTION FROM YELLOW FEVER
In report on yellow fever, recently
published in the United States, it is
uhn hot
peared in any climate at the height of
two thousand five hundred feet. In the
island of Dominica, a hilltop not more
than fifteen hundred feet high is always
healthy, even when the fever is epidemic
at its base. In San Domingo, similar
observations have been made. The
highest elevation at which yellow fever
has occurred in the United States is
four hundred and sixty feet, in Arkan-
Bas; and the medical men of this coun-
try now hold that the stratum of air
injected by the poison is heavier than
pure air, and therefore sinks, and they
recommend that in unhealthy districts,
houses and hospitals should be built on
tall piles, so as to be above the fever
stratum. But where hills are near the
best remedy will be to carry the patients
up to height of five hundred feet.
CHARLTON AND IT'S RAvAaEs.-The
Liberty Miss Herald has the follow
ing in reference to the ravages of the
oharbOn in Amite county, Miss, and
the parish of East Feliciana, in Louisi-
ane "There is great CONSERVATION
among the planters in the southern and
the southwest portion of the county on
account of the ravages of the Charlton.
1t is gradually extending all over the
county, and is carrying havoc to horses
and cattle all along its path. A large
number of valuable horses have been
killed by it, and although in most cases
it readily yields to treatment, If applied
soon enough, it is so rapid in its course
that it generally proves fatal before
remedy can be obtained and applied
We we're conversing with a very intel
igent gentleman from East Feliciani
parish, La, few days ago, and he in
forms us that certainly as many al
three hundred, and he believes foul
hundred, mules and horses have beer
killed by Charlton in that parish since
spring"
HYGmNIo TREATMENT OF THE AGED. -
Mr.. Habershon, in a clinical lecture a
Guys Hospital, London, referring T.
the case OF an old man, remarked
The man died simply from the shoe
and fog, which, though only an incon
venience to us, was sufficient to lead T.
fatal result on one whose circulation
had become enFeebled, and who's
vital force had so nearly lost its power
am reminded by this case of an il
stance of longevity communicated {
me by gentleman the other day. HI
mother, who died at the age of on
hundred and two, during the wintC
months had refused to get up, sayin
that she was only warm in bed
have no doubt that it was owing to til
uniform, warm temperature that 81
lived so long, and I mention the il
stance as recommendation for yot
when you have to prescribs for old pc,
pie, to advise that they be kept warn
You should also look carefully aft,
their nourishment. Old people can n,
eat large meals therefore they mu
take them more frequently. Many ol
people will wake up about three or for
O'Clock in the morning. It is a goo
plan that they should have some nou
ishment then; otherwise the interv
between the night and morning mea
is too long for their declining strengt
1t is by care in such minutip that '
may prolong the life of the aged"
HYDRoPHoBIA.-The board of heal
of New York, referring to an ordinan
requiring dogs to be muzzled duriI
the hot months, state that hydrophob
is impaired only by incubation, al
that a rabid animal may give the ii
ease through n metallic muzzle as east
as il the obstruction did not ext,
Hydrophobia occurs in the coolest
we'll as the hottest weather, and wit
perhaps, greatest frequency during d

condition of the animal, whether hous
hold pet or vagrant, has no influence

of the deadly saliva being retained

that only five to twenty per cent.
those thus injured become inoculate
An eminent veterinary surgeon of n
city gives the following symptoms
which the approach of rabids in t
dog may be recognized When Z
period of incubation is passed (three
seven weeks), the animal becomes rel
less and watchful. It shuns the Zig
and its bark changes to n kind OF
howl. The skin shrinks and tighter
the head is depressed, and mucus &
pears at the mouth aud nostrils. Me-
GUS symptoms are very prominent, a
the whole aspect of the animal denot
an unusual condition. Dogs or q
thus suffering should be immediate
destroyed.
FRESH MUTTON VS.. SALTED MEATS F
SUMNER. as a rule, eat
much sailed meat both in winter a
summer. There is certainly no reas
whatever why this should be the CT
during six months of the year, and
valid reason, except prejudice, "
fresh meat should not be used in su
mer to far greater extent that 1t
The real reason is a groundless pre-
dice against the use of mutton, a
most nutritious, economical aud heal
full of meats. It is true there is n s
gle disability connected with the raisi
of sheep either as wool or mutton, a
that is the number of worthless ct

many of our farms abound but q
