For the Last Time.

There is Z touch Of pathos about doing
ersh the simplest thing "for the last
time" It is not alone kissing the dead
that gives you this strange pain. You
feel it when you have looked your last
upon some scene you have loved-.whsu
you stand in some quiet city street where
you know that you will never stand
again. Theactor plsying his part for the
last time; the singer whose voice Is
cracked hopelessly, and who, after this
once, will never stand before the sea of
uplifted faces disputing the plaudits with
fresher voiced and fairer form; the min
lister who has preached his last sermon
these all know the didden bitterness of
tho two words "nsver again" How
they come to US on our birthdays as We
grow older. Never again young-the
end which is universal, "ths last thing"
which shall follow all last things, and
turn them, let us hope, from pain to JOY
We put away our boyish toys with an
old headache. We were too old to walk
any longer on our stilts-too tall to play
marbles on the sidewalk. Yet there was
a papg when We thought We had played
with our merry thoughts for the last
time, and life's serious, grovn-up work
was waiting for us. May it not be that
these, too. shall seem in the light Of some
far off day as the boyish games seem to
our manhood, and ve-shall learn that
death is but the opening of the gate into
the new land Of promise?

A SIMPLE ANEsTHETIC.--A concentrated
solution of lactate of soda in water, admin
istered as hypodermic injection, or in
sufficiently large quantities introduced in an
empty stomach, it is said by DR.. Preyer of
Saxony, causes a sensation of fatigue and
sleepiness perfectly similar to that of
natural sleep-that is, provided no disturb
ance of the senses is restored to keep the
person awake. Similar symptoms show
themselves after the drinking of large guam
titles of fresh milk, and more so of milk
that has become slightly acid, also of but
termill, either sweet or acid, and even of
concentrated sugar-water. Persons are
variously affected by lactate of soda; some
experience an uncomfortable somnolence
after having in the morning, on an empty
stomach, drank a glass of thick milk or
concentrated sugar-water, or a solution Of
half an ounce of sugar in four ounces of
water-but others will feel no effect of the
kind. DIR. Preyer thinks that the effects
of the lactate of soda deserve to be expert
mented upon as an antipyretic, as a seda-
tive in mania and certain forms of convul-
sive affections, on account of the prompt
ness with which it produces muscular relax
alton. Every time he observed hypnotic
effects of this SALT he found that the resi-
piration became slower and deeper, the ir-
ritability diminished, and that, at least
among cold -blooded animals, the tempera-
ture went down under the influence of
strong doses.

Our DAIRY INTEREsTs.-At the meeting
of the Western Reserve Dairymen's Asso-
citation, held recently at Garrettsville,
Ohio, Mr.. Sherman Tracy, of Philadelphia,
delivered the annual address, in which he
furnished some interesting statistics con-
cerning the dairy products of the United
States. He stated that in 1875 there were
in this country about 100000 milch
cows, which at $45 per head represented a
capital of $450,000,000. In the same year
there were manufactured 203, ,669, 1884 Tbs. of
cheese, CPS, ,2l9 lbs. of butter and $685.
500, 500 gallons of milk were sold. Besides
this an enormous quantity of milk was
consumed in families, of which no account
can be taken, but evidently four times the
quantity noted as sold, which would make
the total quantity consumed and sold
100000, ,396 gallons. This would make
the probable yearly yield of the COW in
butter, cheese, etc, as follows: Cheese,
203, 1884 lbs, at II cents per fb., $24 ,440,
326; butter. 625, ,29l, ,2l0 tbs., at - cents
per fb., $l37 ,542,06S; milk, l,302, 2,002, 1896
gallons, at 8 cents per gallon, $l04, l60,l9l,
and 100000 calves, at 81 per head, $9,000,-
600. Total. $275, ,l42,5S5, as the annual
product of our dairy interests.

WEIGHT AND HEALTH.-The weight of the
body, as is well known, las often been
assumed as an infalllble proof of the main
tenance of the condition of the body, or of
a deposition Of tissue, and the food which
keeps up Il mans weight has been regarded
as on that account satisfactorily nutritious.
Remarking upon this. in his recent address
at Munich, Prof Volt says that the weight
of the body is really no criterion of the
value Of the food taken. because,
while the weight remains constant, or
even increases, water may increase in the
tissues and albumen and fat diminish or
there may be an increase of weight and de-
position of fat, while there is also at the
same time diminution of the albumen of
the body-the fact being that badly
nourished people are usually not lighter
than others, but their bodies contain more
water and less albumen and fat than those
who are we'll nourished. Prof. Volt also
adds that the subjective feeling of satisfac-
ton is equally deceptive; that the Irish
peasant who consumes ten pounds of pota-
toes in the day feels quite satisfied, and yet
is badly nourished, in point of fact, though
not conscious of it.

A RELISH FOR BREAKFAST OR LUNCH
Take quarter of a pound of cheese, good
and fresh, cut it up in thin slices and put
in a spider. turning over it large cupful
of sweet milk; add quarter of a teaspoon
full of dry mustard, a dash of pepper, a
little salt, and piece of butter as large as
a butternut; stir the mixture all the time.
Have three Boston crackers finely pow
dered or rolled, and sprinkle them in
gradually; as soon as they are stirred in,
turn out the contents into a warm dish;
and serve. 1t is very delicious.
