Spanish Smugglers.

What a strange drive it was Beyond
the Posado everything was asleep but
the stars that still held their vigils, yet
blinked more frequently, I fancied. as
if quite ready to be relieved. Not a
vehicle passed us, but ever and anon we
stopped at solitary houses, where we
evidently were expected, for men came
out with lanterns, handed small bundles
TO the driver, talked in low tone, and
off we went again, without additional
passengers. "This is very queer" I
said to the Blinker. Chow did these
people know we should pass before day
light ? The regular hour of departure
from Pampelrna is seven O'Clock. Yet
people are up and waiting for Us. "
Madam" replied the Blin&er, do
you suppose it would pay to run this
omnibus from Pampeluna to Bayonne
for two passengers? Not at all. i

who supply the bundles are smugglers.

Infertility of Eggs.

Your article on the "infertility of
rggs," prompts me to write what think
I know about d" hen fruit. " The eggs
from q very fat hen are, as general
thing, infertile. The Asiatic fowls are
voracious feeders aud fatten very easily.
I have often been surprised when dress
ing a Brahma-tha5 I feared was too
poor for the tabl6-tO see the amount
of fat ieside. I have in past seasons
hal them drop dead, suddenly, and up
on examination found them so SLED
with fat that there was apparently no
room for action of the vital organs.
l think if breeders would give such
fowls wider range, and less feed, the
difficulty would disappear. Another
source of trouble is too close breeding
the remedy for this is obvious to all.
Aud still another reason is the rascality
of few breeders who have a few choice
fowls and plenty of mongrels we send
our 50 or 50 for q dozen eggs, aud the
rascals pace, say nine mOngrel eggs,
closely resembling the genuine, in
a strainer.and dip them for a few sec
onds into boiling hot water, the dozen
Is made up with eggs from the choice
fowls and shipped. We set them and
may get two or three chickens; the
scalded eggs are added and we have no
means of detecting the cheat. To rem
edy this we must buy only of breeders
who have an established reputation.
I give the above reasons as the hard
earned experience Of an amateur in the
business, trusting that some of your
scientific readers may give more, aud
perhaps lar better Ones.-B., RUTlH

Liver ana Blood Diseases.


A healthy liver secTstes each day about two
and half pounds of bile, which contains a
great amount of waste material taken from
the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or
congested it fails to eliminate this vast amount
of noxious substance, which, therefore, re-
mains to poison the blood, and be conveyed to
every part of the system. What must be the
condition of the blood when it isreceiving and
retaining each day two and a half pounds Of
poison? Nature tries to work of this poison
through other channels and organs-the kid
neys, lungs, skin, ETC., but these org ans be =

Origin Of the Dollar Mark.

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly has
a curious paper on the origin of the dol
lar symbol tS). In brief, this theory is,
that the two paral Ell upright marks may
be traced back to the pillars of Hercules,
and the S-lIke figure In the scroll en-
twined around them. According to ira
dition, when the Tyrian colony landed
on the Atlantic coast of Spain, and
founded the ancient city of Gades, now
Cadiz MelcarthUs, the leader of the ex-
petition, set up two stone pillars as me-
MORALS, over which was built d temple
of Hercules. AS the temple increased
in wealth, the stone pillars were re-
placed by :others, made of an alloy of
gold and silver. and these two pillars
became, in time, the emblem of the city,
as a horses head became that Of Car
thage. Centuries later, when Charles
Y. became emperor of Germany, he
adopted new coat of arms, in which
the pillars of Gades or Cadiz, occupied
a prominent position in the device.
Hence, when a new coin, the colonnato,
was strUlsk at the internal mint, it bore
the new device-two pillars with a scroll
entwined around them. This coin
became a coin of value in the Mediter-
raBeau, and the pillars and scroll be-
came its accepted symbol in writing.
The two horizontal bars which cross
the symbol of the English pound ster-
ling are also thought to have similar
origin. In the same paper the sym
bolic origin of the pillar of Hercules is
traced far back into the remote era prior
to the dispersion of the human race
from its Asiatic birthplace They are
identified with the household pillars of
the Scandinavians, and the idea from
which the concrete embodimeuts spring
is to be found alike in the Sanskirt We
das end in the glowing imagery of the
Hebrew poets. They are the symbols
of day and night, or light and dark
ness, which, to the dawning intelIi-
gence of the Arian races, were evil
dences o. the omnipotent, and, to the
Jewish patriarch, the work of revealed
Creator.

Marriages of Blood Relations.

Statistics presented to the French
Academy show that the marriages of
blood relations form about two per cent.
of all the marriages in France, and that
the deaf and dumb offspring, at birth, of
consanguineous marriages, are, in pro-
portion to the deaf and dumb born in
ordinary wedlock-at Lyons, full 25 per
cent. at least rs per cent. i'll Paris, and
30 per cent. in Bordeaux-the proper
tions of the deaf and dumb, by birth,
increasing with the degree of blood re-
lationship. The data obtained show
that, if the danger of having deaf and
dumb child in ordinary marriage repre-
sented by figures, is one, there will be

if not related, very rarely have deaf and
