SWINE MARKET.
REMARKS.

The market has been amply supplied
this week, and under the effects OF the
excess of receipts beyond the demand,
prices have receded gradually from the
quotations which ruled last week and
even during the early part of this week
The quality generally will compare well
with that of last weeks offerings. A
healthy feeling seems to prevail as to the
continuance of our present quotations, n
view of the higher rates ruling al all the
centers of trade in the West.
Quotations-7@72c, with few choice
a shade higher.

The market in its early sales, at whole

with fair degree of activity. But the
expectations of buyers ware not realised
in the retail trade, as subsequent figures
showed no comm ensurate advance. For
towards the close prices weakened, and
shade lower figure was established than
ruled last week. The average quality oil

cure for the SIM0ll.fOX.

An effectual remedy for smallpox is said
to have been recently found by surgeon OF
the British army in China. The mode of
treatment is as follows: When the preced-
ing fever is at its height, and Just before the
eruption appears, the chest is rubbed with
croton oil and tartaric ointment. This causes
the whole of the eruption to appear on that
part of the body, to the relief of the rest. 1t
also secures q full and complete eruption.
and thus prevents the disease from attacking
the internal organs. This is now the estab-
lished mode of treatment in the English army
in China, and is regarded as perfect cure.

MOON-STROKE.
a CDear-hcaded lex xplanatiOm Of Popular
Fancy Oh the Subject.

IAN Indian Correspondent writes to Naturel
There is popular belief that it is danger
ous to sleep in full moonshine, as it is sup
posed TO produce some injurious effect called
moon-stroke. A clear sky admits of rapid
radiation, and any person exposed to such
radiation is sure to be chilled by rapid loss of
heat. There is reason to believe that under
the circumstances paralysis of one side of
the face is sometimes likely to occur from
chill, as one side of the face is more likely
to be exposed to rapid radiation and conse-
quent loss of its heat. This chill is more
likely to OCCUR when the sky is perfectly clear
and in full moon. have often slept in the
open air in India on clear summer night
when there was no moon, and although the
first part of the night may have been hot,
yet towards 9 or o'clock in the morning
the chill has been SO great that have often
been awakened by an ache in my forehead,
which as often have counteracted by wrap
ping a handkerchief around my head and
drawing the blanket over my face. AS the
chill is likely to be the greatest on very
clear night, and the clearest nights are likely
to be those on which there is bright moon
shine, it is very possible that neuralgia, pa
ralysis, or some other similar injury, caused
by sleeping in the open, has been attributed
to the moon, when the proximate cause may
really have been the chill.

said 1t Was impera,lvely necessary that the
unfortunate man should be resuscltated at
once by some powerful stimulant. Accord
ingly hc directed two ot lis assistants to take
strong galvanlc battery and apply 1t to the
patient until he recovered. Ihc assistants
went into the hospital with the battery, While
the nurse stopped for few moments in the
laundry. When they reached the mans bed
side they placed the battery on the fioor, and
barring The patients ankle, they wrapped the
wire around it, When everything was ready,
they turned on the current full head. 4
second later the PROSTATE form Of tue patient
bounded about four feet into the air, and as
it came down upon the bed Il second shock

When he came down the fourth time the
doctors turned off the current with the re-
mark that they guessed that would be about
enough. Then one OF them asked the patient
how he felt, and attempted to feel his pulse
But the patient, furious with rage, said:
''Iou diabolical scoundrel, what do you
mean by hitching that thing to me IN that
manner, say?'
''Now, be calm,' said the doctor its all
right you'll be better direcly.'
But it isn't all right. I've mind to
knock your head off for blowing me up with

for any way?"
''My friend, don't excite YOURSELF" said
