Milk for Gastric arrangements.

A writer in lie Courier Medical, on
the use of milk in hot weather, states
that his attention was directed to the
subject by noting the value of milk in
dysentery, ulcer of stomach, and vari-
Gus acute and chronic gastro-intestinal
affections, and he therefore employed
milk in the the treatment of those gas
trio arrangements so frequently induced
by high temperature. In very hot
weather small draughts of milk are
found TO relieve thirst and to render I'M
necessary the drinking of many fluids,
which, though they may allay the thirst,
are liable to produce some disorder at
the same time. A case is cited in which,
during the fearful hot weather of last
summer, gastric arrangement was pro-
duced in the patient, with great thirst
and cramping pains in the bowels;
laudanum had been taken without sue
cess, but relief followed the administra-
ton of warm milk-a small cup every
quarter of an HOURLY the next day.

In the yard in the rear of No. 6
Seyms Street are two young black bears
and wildcat. The cubs are about three
months old and are as playful as kit
tens. They climb the trees and frolic
among the branches, and when one of
them happens to let go his hold and
tumbles to the ground, he doesn't mind
it in the least, but scrambles back again
and resumes his play. The wildcat is
in cage, and watches the movements of
the cubs with a wicked eye; if any per-
son approaches too near she shows her
disposition by a threatening growl and
the unpleasant exhibition of teeth We
presume all who look at her would like
to have her at liberty, where she could
be petted, but no one has asked the
owner TO let her out. An oversight.
probably. These pets We're brought
from Florida by Mr.. Carrier. This gen
tleman says that the bears, when full
grown, will weigh 400 or 500 pounds

der steam boilers has been successful in
Italy. It consists simply in throwing it
over thin layer of asbestos, which, be-
ing incombustible, serves to retain the

The St. Paul Pioneer-Press says
that il is safe to estimate the wheat crop
of Minnesota for this year At fully So
O00, 900 bushels. This estimate is based
on the assumption Of an average yield
for the State at large of IL bushels per
acre. Thirty million bushels of wheat
means $50, 600 in cash, and $780,
OOO, 900 means prosperity.
One of the important manufacture
ed products of the small country towns
of New England and New York State
is potato starch. 1t is believed that
nearly 5000, 600 bushels of potatoes are
frequently consumed per year in the
States of Maine, New Hampshire, Ver-
mont and New York in the production
of potato starch. The average price
paid for potatoes by starch manufac-
turers during the past season has been
80 cents per bushel. The aggregate
annual production of all the factories is
usually from 5000 to. 200 tons A
bushel of potatoes generally makes
eight pounds of starch, $50 bushels,
therefore, being required for 4 ton. As
the average market quotation of potato
starch is about five cents per pound, it
follows that bushel of potatoes brings
only 40 cents after being converted into
starch, and the value of the total pro-
duction of potato starch in the country
is from 100000 to Sl,200,000 per
annum.
