Compressed Teas.

Some proposals have been entertain
al Cor the consolidation of teas by pres
snre so as to diminish the expense of
frpight-making in fact, kind of brick
zoo 7tbe universal medium of barter in
Mongolia and Tartary). 1t is doubtful
whether the necessary pressure would
NOT be destructive of some of the finer
nnalities of the leaf by bruising and
forcing out the essential oils on which
delicacv of flavor so much depends. But
tbe chief feature in favor of this treat
ment. apart from the diminution of
freight and cost of transport, is the
breaking up of the fibre of the leaf, and
tbe openiDg of the small cells, closed in
the process of firing, or drying, in
China: and which it is asserted are not
thoroughly opened even by the action
of boiling water, by the ordinary modes
of tea-making. The practical result is
said to be that "the consolidated or
compressed tea will give, after ordinary
infusion, a liquor from 40 to 80 per
cent. stronger than looser or uncom-
pressed tea" Higher class tea will
show even higher per centage, though
a longer time is required for the extrac-
ton of the soluble matter. The result
of compression may be even tested with
ont any elaborate machinery, and if it
be found, as was alleged, that a com
pressed tea will yield after five minutes
infusion as strong liquor as the same
weight of tine same tea after boiling for
five hours, we may safely prophesy such
a result will soon overcome all preju
dice. There is, however, one question
to be settled about the theme, or essen
tial principle of the tea leaf, an extra
quantity of which might neither be de-
sirable in point of flavor, nor otherwise
thsn injurious to health, it is suggested
that excess of theme, or any other
stimulant principle of the leaf, may
easily be corrected by more plentiful
dilution of hot water, and thus water
ing it down, with great saving in the
primary cost. Finally it is contended
that, SO far from facilitating adultera-
ton, the enormous pressure brings ''fa-
cings" and other spurious or coloring
matter to the surface, and reveals to the
eve in the fractures, any iron filings,
grit, or other foreign substances.
And as last recommendation it is said
that the compressed tea retains its pro-
perties much longer than uncompressed
tea. This seems to have been tested by
the state in which some of the consoh-
dated tea served in the Ashantee cam
paign came back, although only wrap
ped in paper. There is no doubt that
the best tea kept in chests loses much
Of its excellence by keeping even a
couple of years, and at the end of three
years is generally assumed to have lost
one-half its strength. Consolidated tea
was supplied to the last Arctic expedi-
ton, and it is understood to have given
great satisfaction.-PaH Mall Gazette.

TIE beautiful colors exhibited by
glass which has been buried for many
years, and especially attractive in the
glass objects collected by General Di
Oesnola in Cyprus, now in the Metro
polltan Museum, New York, have in
duced experiments to see whether this
same effect cannot be brought about in
much shorter time. Messrs. Frenzy
and Clernandt inform us that ordinary
glass can be made to exhibit iridescent
colors in six or seven hours by being
subjected during that time to the action
OF water containing fifteen per cent. of
hiydrochloric acid, and to pressure Of
TWO or three atmospheres, with tenn
perature of about 1909 G. The effect
varies with different glass, the best
Kinds for habitual use being those that
undergo the alteration the least easily.
Inc same authors show that bottle glnss
winch ''iridates" in the course OF time,
1as an injurious effect upon wine con-
nined in it; and it is suggested that
thls Quality of glass be tested by expert
ments before using it for the purpose
referred to.

PureWater for Stock.

Professor Law, in a lecture on animal
parasites, delivered before the Farmers
Club of Ithica, New York, q condensed
report of which we find in the Country
Gentleman, stated that intestinal worms
might find ingress to the animal through
drinking impure water.
These animals, known as pin worms
(ScleroStornuna equi1latn1 and s. tetracan-
Muna. and Oryauis carrula aud o. rica-
nara ], and which are only an inch or
two in length, attack the mucus mem
branes, and bore their way into them,
obstructing circulation, causing infam-
nation, and inducing cramps, colics and
indigestion. Other species attack
swine, sheep and poultry. Largely
magnifed representations of their eggs
were also represented by charts. These
eggs are swallowed by the animals in
drinking impure water, and hence the
Importance of providing that which is
pure and free from them. The eggs
will remain uninjured for year, and
may be carried miles in streams and
then be swallowed and hatch in stom-
achs and intestines of animals. The
eggs will remain unframed in ice, even
at the temperature of zero, and are un-
affected by the heat of the suns rays.
They may be conveyed from the manure
which contains them by subterranean
streams into adjacent wells. In some
places sheep have perished in large
numbers from attacks of these animals,
and their presence in swine is we'll
known: but horses suffer most.
The first thing to be done is to pre-
vent their propagation. Hence pure
water only should be supplied for drink.
Rainwater is safest, as it cannot contain
them. Springs and wells may be Sc
lected, if situated where there can be
no infiltration. Porous soil near ma
nure heaps, may readily convey the
eggs. Professor Law pointed out in
detail the treatment of animals which
contain them, and the use Of proper
medicines. The indications OF the pres
ence of these worms in the horse are a
general unthrifty appearance. irregu-
laritY with looseness or costiveness from
internal arrangement, rubbing of the
tail, etc. The passage of the worms
and eggs is shown by examination of
the manure under the microscope. The
whole of this lecture was scientific and
practical, interesting and instructive in
character.-Rural NelO Yorker.

A MATTER OF CoNsc1ENcE.-A man
on the West Side sends the following
religious experience: ~ was converted
with my wife, under Moody. 1 used
tobacco; my wife urges me to leave of,
as a matter of conscience. She thinks
it sin. Said 1, My dear, name any.
thing as dear to you, which you have
dropped on account of its siufulness,
since your conversion The good wo-
man is not self-righteous; she was silent
and, indeed, little disconnected. My
young son came to the rescue. Said
he, / know of something equally dear
which she has left Off What is it?'
wife and I cried in a breath. Her
bustlel murmured the hope of all
of u.s." Christian woman, go and do
likewise, and then shalt thou see clearly
to jerk the tobacco out of thy husbands s
mouth.-Chicayo Tribune.

Sprains.

Halls Journal Of Health gives a chap
ter on sprains, which may contain use
ful hints to sufferers from them:
Sprains or strains of the Joints are
very painful, and more tedious of recov-
cry than broken bone. What we call
flesh is muscle; every muscle tapers
down to a kind of string, which we call
cord or sinew. The muscle is above the
Joint, and the sinewy part is below it,
or vice versa, and the action is much
like that of string over a pulley.
When the ankle, for example, is
"sprained," the cord, tendon, or liga-
ment (all mean the same thing, if torn
in parts or whole, either in its body, or
from its attachment to the bone, and
infammation-that is, rush of blood
to the spot-takes place as instantly as in
case of cut on the finger. Why? For
two reasons. Some blood-vessels are
ruptured, and very naturally pour out
their contents; and second, by an infal-
lible physiological law, an additional
supply of blood is sent to the part to
repair the damages, to glue, to make
grow together, the torn parts. From
this double supply of blood, the parts
are overhown, as it were, and push out,
causing what we call Swelling ac-
emulation of dead blood, so to speak
But dead blood cannotrepair an injury
Two things, then, are to be done: to
get rid of it, and to allow the parts to
grow together. But if the finger be
cut, it will never heal as long as the
wound is pressed apart every half hour,
nor will torn tendon grow together if
it is stretched upon by the ceaseless
movement of a joint; therefore, the first
and indispensable step in every case of
sprain, is perfect quietude of the part;
single bend of the joint will retard
what nature has been hours in mending.
1t is in this way that persons with
sprained ankles are many months in
getting we'll. In cases of sprain, then,
children who cannot be kept still should
be kept in bed, and so with many grown
persons.
The swelling can be got rid Of in
several ways; by bandage, which in all
cases of sprain should be applied by a
skillful physician-otherwise mortifca-
ton and loss of limb may result. A
bandage thus applied keeps the Joint
still, keeps an excess of blood from
coming to the part, and by its pressure
causes an absorption of extra blood or
other extraneous matter.
Another mode of getting rid Of the
swelling is, to let cold water run on the
part injured for hours. Z

In France so great is the dread of
military service that conscripts employ
various devices to escape it. A story
is told of a conscript who recently
feigned paralysis of the right arm. AZ
ter many attempts to expose the fraud
had failed, it was proposed to ampu-
tate the arm, in the expectation that the
man would confess that he was sham
ming, rather than lose it. All arrange
ments were made, and the knife was in
the hand of the surgeon, but the con-
script did not finch, and some excuse
was invented for not proceeding with
the amputation. He was ordered to the
hospital, to reach which q river must
be crossed. 1t was planned that the
conscript should be suddenly tossed
into the water. When the unfortunate
man found himself compelled to sink
or swim, he kept himself afoat some
time with the left arm; but finally, to
save his life, struck out manfully with
his right arm.

WHAT REGISTERED LETTERS ARE
An exchange says: ''The question is
very often asked: What is the differ
ence between a registered letter and any
other? The difference is that regis
tered letter does not go in the mail
proper. 1t passes from hand to hand
outside of the mail pouches, every per-
son through whose hands it passes be-
ing required to sign a receipt for it on
receiving it, and secure a receipt for it
on passing it over to the next transit.
The person holding the last receipt is
thus always able to show who is ac-
countable for its loss. The response
bility rests upon the man who has signed
a receipt for the registered package,
and who is not able to produce the
package or a receipt from somebody
else for it. The safest way to send
money is by money order. Where it
does not go to a money-order Office it
should always be sent in a registered
package. Money ought not be sent in
an ordinary letter under any circum-
stance. There is no possible way of
tracking such letter"

AN AaoNIzINa CHOICE. Memphis
Tenn Appeal relates the following in
itsaccount Of the recent burning of the
steamer Cor. Garland in the Arkansas
river; capt. Nowland's conduct was
heroic. Finding it impossible to res
cue his wife and two children, he was
compelled to forsake either the former
or the latter. He had no time to hesi-
tate, for the flames were already scorch-
ing the passengers. Capt. Nowland
kissed his little children farewell, and
seizing his wife plunged into the water.
He looked back, but the little children
he could not see, for his eyes filed
with tears, such as only a father or
mother can know the meaning of. A
deck-hand named Billy Staples, whose
homS is in Memphis, witnessed the sad
farewell. Selling both of the children
in his strong arms the brave man leaped
INFO TIC water and carried them safely
to the shore"

A DRUeGIsT's MIsTAKE.-A story is
circulating which tells how fair young
lady went to a chemist and told him to
make up one dose of castor-oil, and to
mix it with something to take the taste
away. The man told her to wait. In q
few minutes he asked her if she would
like to take glass of soda water. She
accepted the invitation and drank the
beverage. Presently she asked the roll
er of pills why he didn't give Ter the
castor oil. The man smiled a triumph
ant smile, and said: Madam, you have
taken it. mixed a fearful dose with
the soda" She turned pale; she sank
into chair; she gasped, "Great heaven
I wanted it for my motherp
