A Cure for ConSumDtioa.

Under the head OF - pulmonary GYM
nastics," DR.. Burq., Of Paris, has pub
ished the following curious dissertation.
which contains advice which may be.
useful to such persons as are afflicted
with weakness in the chest. He begins
with, stating the question fairly: 'sAre
defamation, singing, and, above ALL,
wind instruments, dangerous exercises,
for persons of weak or delicate constitu-
tions, and more or less predisposed by
birth to serious diseases of the respira-
tory organs?" Most physicians, he OBJ
serves, will answer In the affirmative; he
takes the contrary ground, supported by
what we deem startling evidence. DIR.
Burg, it may be remembered, was the
first who proposed copper as a specific
III cholera, on the ground that workmen
constantly handling that metal had tra-
versed the epidemic of 1849 with impu-
nifty In order to establish this fact he
had visited variety of large workshops.
and among others those of manufacturers,
of wind instruments. On one of these
occasions NJ. Sax gave him the following
information, which we here repeat almost.
word for word: Besides choleric i'm
munity, our workmen enjoy another
fUQ0y dIG lEO0 1TOlu COlSULuDtlOI. 1Ad1lf
philanthropists on seeing our young
military musicians WELD the enormous
instruments we make have sorrowed
over the few years those poor fellows
would have to live. Well, they are mis-
taken. All men who make it their pro-
fession to try wind instruments made at.
the various factories before sending them
off for sale, all, without exception to my
knowledge, are free from pulmonary
affections. / have known many such
who, upon entering upon their profess
sion, were very delicate, and who, though
their duty obliged them to blow hours
together, enjoyed perfect health after
certain time. I am myself an instance.
of this. Ny mother died of consump
ton; eight children of hers fell victims,
to the same disease, and only three of us
survive, and we all three play on wind
instruments. The dayis not far distant
perhaps, when physicians will have re
course to our dreaded art in order to
conquer pulmonary diseases. 5"

made contract with the Great Northerap.
Telegraph Company, which has cables
along the Chinese coast, for its constyuc-
ton. No sooner, however, was the first
section of the line completed than the
natives discovered that the putting up of
the poles interfered with the benign
influence OF the Fung-shin of the dis
trict,' and turning out by thousands.
they uprooted the poles. This stopped
the work, whereupon the company APP
pealed to the authorities for protection
and ultimately the intercesslon of the
foreign Ministers was invoked at Pekin-
This was successful, and now new con-
tract has been made, under which thor
cugh protection is guaranteed. The
company are to get 1854, 500 for building,
the line of 100 miles, and $50, 600 annu-
ally for its maintenance. Neao York

BREADSTUFFS
The grain markets during the past week
have attracted considerable attention from
speculators, and liberal business was trans
acted. The markets have been very unsettled,
and fluctuations in values we're both frequent
and severe The closing quota tions, how
ever. show slight advance on wheat, oats and
barley and a declineon corn. The main influence
Governing the movements of spectators was
the weather. Fine favorable weather produced
a desire to sell, while prices would rule lower
under the heavy offerings then again when it
would be cold sellers would hold off and buyers
would take hold freely, causing reaction and
an imprOv ement in values. The receipts were
generally higher and the shipments heavier,
the stock in store showing steady decrease,
and holders are therefore frmer in their views.
Corn was the chief center of interest, the mar
ket at one time ruling &c lower, then recovered
2003c, and closed steady. Eastern advices
were generally favorable. The markets closed
steady all round.
The following table shows the prices current
at the opening and close OF the past week:

The Products of Russia.

The book of Herr NonLengenfeldt
gives quantity of interesting informa
ton concerning the production and con-
sumption in Russia Of tobacco, beer
spirits, sugar, salt and flour. The num-
Der of flour mills of all kinds, except
those most primitive ones which are
driven by hands, is 81, 800 and these
produce -four annually to the value of
$50, 625, 900. The greater number of
these mills, are driven by water, wlnh
and horse loower, there being few steam
mills. The -four is generally of an IN
ferior qusIity, Notwithstanding that the
wheat is excellent. Salt In Russia should
be very plenty and very cheap, but it IS
rather scarce, and the tax on native salt
is SO high that imported salt is found tobes
often cheaper as well as better. The
total production of native salt is about
900, 600, 900 pounds a year. Some OF it
is made by grinding the rock salt, but
the most Of it is procured by ooilin g the
water of salt lakes and springs. It sells.
at one-half to one cent pound, accord
ING to quality. Nearly all the sugar pro-
duced in Russia is made from beat-roots,.
and amounts to about $15, 700, 900 year.
The total consumption of sugar in Rus
STA, imported and foreign, is only about
POI, 600, 900 pounds year, or less than
three pounds for each person. OF
brandy, 81, 500, 900 gallons, and 27,0O0,-
900 gallons of beer are produced In a
year About $12, $780, 900 worth OF ma
tive tobacco is annually manufactured.

Pint-Cun People.

A pint cup may not be ill-treated for
not holding a quart. This is indeed a
new measure of moral obligation. The
man undertakes your argument, project,
or Improvement, because he cannot con-
tain it. He does not report you correct
~ because he cannot carry all your
ideas. He is a pint cup. Your friend
betrays your secret. It is your own fault
You put too much In small vessel, and
it Stops over. Your neighbor has mar
row views, feelings and politics, and
they do not enlarge. Be gentle toward
him, for small measures cannot afford to
be very liberal, and pint cups come to
their growth early. They are required
to hold but pint.-Elilam Bat1Tatt.
