REMEDY FOR INSECT. BITES.

We read the following tnan exchange.
and shall give it a trial: When a mosquito,
flea, gnat. or other noxious insect punctures
the human skin, it deposits or injects an
atom OF an aciduous fluid of a poisonous ma
ture. The results are irritation. sensation
of tickling of flies we are comparatively IN
different about; but the itch produced by
flea. or ghat, or other noisome insect, dis
turbs our serenity. and, like the pain of q
wasp or bee sting. excites us to remedy.
The best remedies for the sting OF insects
are those which will instantly neutrallZe
this aclulous poison deposited in the skin.
These are either ammonia or boraN. The
alkaline reaction of boraX is scarcely Yet
sufficiently appreciated. However, time
will come when its good qualities Will be
known. and more universally valued than
ammonia, or, asit is more commonly term
ed, I" hartshorne." The solution Of boraX
for insect bites is made thus: Dissolve one
ounce of boraX in one pint OF water that has
been boiled and allowed to cool. Instead
of plain water, distilled rose water, elder. or
orange flower water, is more pleasant. The
bites are to be tlabbcd with the solution so
long as there is any irritation, For bees or
wasps' stings, the boraX solution may be
made of twice the above strength. III every
house tins solution should be kept as a
household remedy. .l' n

DIMNEss OF THE EYES.

Dr. George G. Harlan, of Philadelphia,
Pa, has lately communicated to the Medi-
cal Society, OF that city, some very interest
ing observations concerning that insiduous
and often incurable disease, albuminyria
The presence of the disease, in cases preyi-
ously unsupported, he has discovered by ex-
animation of the patients eyes by means of
the ophthalmoscope. In oHe instance, a
gentleman 35 years OF age, a picture OF
health, with appetite and digestion good,
complained of "A dimness in the sight of the
left eye, which rapidly Increased, and then
the right eye became similarly affected.
Examination Of, the eyes with the instru-
nIent showed well marked rotuattis albaa,ia-
'0ioa. Further medical examinations re-
vealed the presence of the, hyaline casts, and
The fact that the patient had reached the
last stages OF albuminuriouf disease. Two
and q half months later he died. Dr. Har-
Mn cites quite Il number of other eases of
persons who considered themselves ia, per-
1nct health, but i'll whose eyes the impress
OF the terrible disease was discovered, and
who quickly succumbed to its power. 1t

HEREDITARY AS A FACTOR IN PAuPER-
ISM AND CRIME.

DR.. Edward II. Parker recently read pa
per of the above title before the Med ical So
ciety of the State OF New York, at Albany,
in which he reviewed the question Of hered-
itary as an element in the production of
crime and pauperisln. He claimed to do
this simply as Psychologist and with no
sentimental, biasing notions. The elements
for his line of argument he obtained from
the report OF the Prison Association and
the report of the State Board of Charities OF
New York. He does not deny that ana
tomical, physiological mental and pathology
ical peculiarities OF parents may be trans
mitted, but that they will be is not so abso-
lutely certain. Strength pluck, and skill
may all be inherited, which, when turned
in one direction, makes the skillful meehan-
ic, and when by circumstances diverted
from their legitimate channel, produces the
expert criminal He declares the mental
characteristics of the two to be much the
same, except that the criminal-a burglar,
for instance--needs physical strength and
reckless audacity, all Of which may, be inher-
tied by both, but which the former can do
without. The qualities that may be attrib-
uted to hereditary do not make the one
more criminal than the other an expert
mechanic. .s .Ju9iJ}s r.
In reply to the question if there is not a
certain base propensity, a lowness Of char
acter, which may be transmitted, he replies
that physiology knows no such peculiarly
in tile human ..animal. He advocates that
the cure for unbalanced lives is training, and
that the general phenomena of crime is due
to surroundings, or, to use his own words,
to environment. Let the pure and moral
mind come in contact with and become en-
veloped by morbid and immotal tendencies,
and the result will be immoral. Environ
ment makes generation after generation of
thieves burglars, prostitutes, criminals ETC.,
and different environment makes genera
tions of learned persons, mechanics, trades
men, etc. Observation, he says, teaches
that environment determines for the most
part how capacity shall be trained and how
used.
lie denies that the evil tendency to- crime
is corrected by correcting physiological ten
tendencies, nor has he amy contidencein the
training of bare morality. Men can only
be restrained from crime by deep, profound
religious, training a feeling, that goes down
into the depths of the soul. Which makes it
Il part of ones self to that certain things
must not be done because they are sins. -
Mr.. Parker says. as Il Psychologist, he Is
unable to see any hcredity as a factor in
paupepisnl, with the exception of feeble
mind. and body, and these are rather indi-
rect factors. The State must be made to
change this radically, rather than to lament
the impossibility of making physiological
changes over Which the State can, from the
nature of things, have no control.

Privileges and Elections proposed to suggest to
MessTs. Kellogg and SpOford that they attempt to
reach some agreement between themselves as to the
facts upon which their cases are based, aud that
subcommittee was appointed, consisting Of
Senators Wadleigh and Merimon, to consult with
Messgs. Kellogg and Spoford and ascertain the
points upon which they are already agreed. Such
an agreement Mr. Spoford's friends saw, is wholly
impossible. Neither party will agree TO any state
mcnt of facts which the other may make. Mr..
Kellogg claims TO have been elected By the legal
Legislature which organized on the basis OF the
canvass made by the Returning Board, while Spot
fords rests upon rejection Of those returns,
and a canvass made in accordance with what Is as
serted to be the Constitutional method Of deter
mining who was elected to the Legislature.
But even if the committee should reach conclu-
sion during the present session of Congress, ana
should report to the Senate, it probably will some
time during the Winter, that Mr. Kellogg Is entitled
TO the seat il will probably be months before any
vote will be reached upon this report IN the senate
