Over 100,0 salmon-trout we're put into Lake

will be added this spring.
An immense quantity Of alfd. or esparto, T.

for the manufacture Of paper. From one small
town, SO, 600 bales we're sent tn 1876 The great
er part OF this material Is consumed In England.

South Park, Colorado, Nj. g. Il. scudder has
found about forty species, most Of which belong

The utility OF oil In calming troublous sen
was proved last summer by an English vessel.
Encountering heavy gale ofEahe Cape OF Good
Hope, the seamen slowly poured several gallons
Of oil upon the bIlloWs, which threatened to
swamp the ship. The effect Was immediate, no
waves thereafter breaking over the deck.

TELESCOPES.

The honor OF inventing the telescope has been
much disputed,-both the Italians and the
Dutch claiming it for divers individuals Of their
nationality. The btosrapher Of Calico states
that the discovery was undoubtedly first made
by Dutchman named Jansen, although the
only use to which he put the instrument Was
Us q tor to amuse Prince Flammarion re-
lates, in his 'sHistorY Of the Heavens" On the
authority of A1be.s, that the concavc and con-

The Autobiography, written early In the ycar
1886, and now presented to the public, is con-
ceivcd in the strong. practical, rational spirit
as candid1y and inipartially done as such piece
OF personal confidence: and selferiticism could
well be. It abounds in sketches OF celebrated
persons known to the writer, and in reflections
OF an instructive nature. Its chief value, how
ever, lies in the example Of q high moral char
actcr which it holds up before the reader. How
ever much one may differ from Miss Atartin.au
in religious doctrine, in political opinions, and
personal Judgments, there are few who will not
gratefully accept the lessons her life affords in
the beauty Of integrity, devotion to truth and
abncCation OF self, united with many minor
virtues.
Tine duty of editing the work has been well
performed by Mrs. Chapman. She las supplied
many details, filling out the memoir furnished
By Miss Martincau, and has presented history

HOT WATER FOR WOUNDS.

HOT WATER FOR WOUNDS.
Hot water in the treatment Of bruises and
wounds is strongly advocated by certain medical
authorities. In proof OF its efficacy, the New
York Medical Journal cites the following case:
The hand Of workman in a machlne-shop was
crushed under the fall Of tzip-hammer weigh
ing 100 pounds. The hammer was arrested
when within ha1f-inch Of its bed, but the palm
Of the unfortunate hand receiving the blow Was
reduced to pulp. The metacarpal bones were
saving the member, it was kept immersed In hot
water for two or three weeks, and then taken
out aud dressed. In three months the patient
was dismissed from the hospital, and in nine
months was able to move his fingers and demon
strate that he still possessed q usetul hand.
The temperature Of the water employed in such
cases should be about l03 degrees Fahrenheit

Price, 81.
In the preface to this work, the author takes
occasion TO state that he has carefully abstained
from consulting authorities, and from borrowing
the knowledge and statements Of others, re-
gardins the subjects on which he speaks. He
prefers to give instead his own unbiased opin-
Ions and observations, which have been gained
in long experiencaof life on our Western
Plains. This independent position OF the au-
thor commends itself thoroughly on an exami-
nation Of his book. The writer has an abundance
Of original information, and skil1ful
knack Of imparting it, which Justify
him not only III adding to the
worlds stock Of books, but in relying wholly
upon himself for the matter and manner he has
employed in constructing the one now under
consideration.
The work opens with an introduction by Will
lam Blackmorc, an English gentleman who has
had 4 lifelong interest in the aborigines of
America, aud during eight years has improved
