Before administering ehloroform,
Professor occum causes the patient to
inspire ammonia. and IL is said he has
obviaied the danger OF subisetisg per-
sons suffering from heart disease to the
influence Of this a~nesthetic. The
theory is that the stimulating property
OF the ammonia ON the nervous and
vascular system counteraets the dspress-
ing action Of tho chloroform.

Cremation at Calcutta.

Nearly every stranger inquiries first for
the Burning Chat, or cremation grounds,
where the Hindoos burn their dead, and
a single visit generally sufhces. went
there the day after my arrival, and found
an inclosed space on the banks OF the
Ganges, with steps leading down to the
water. A dozen or more men were
standing around or raking the ashes OF
some smouldering heaps, and our ap-
proach was the signal for an appeal Tor
money. On one heap was a hody half
consumed, the fire still burning tiercely,
and another pile, on which lay the body
of a woman, was lighted Just as we en-
tered. The wood was dry, and perhaps
had been saturated with oil at any rate
it famed fiercely up, so that in the little
time that we were there the work of de-
struction went on visibly. No patent
furnaces or other improvements are used
here; there is only a pile of wood and
the body that is to be cremated. After
the body has been destroyed the ashes
are thrown into a sacred river, form of
sepulture eminently satisfactory to the
piOus HindoO. Formerly, the cremation
was more theoretical than real, as the
men appointed to perform the work
would nut the most of the money for
wood into their pockets, and throw the
body into the river after it was hardly
more than scorched. COrpses tloatingi'
the Ganges were an hourly sight, an6
sometimes dozens might be seen in siI.
gle day. Complaint was so general Il.
the government stepped in and h;
something to say; it did not endeavor
put stopto cremation, but it requiredt
work to be thoroughly performed, Al
stationed policemen at the CHAT to 81
that its orders were carried out.

Some Little Things.

Beans, properly cooked-and much is
contained IN those two words-form q
most healthful and nutritious diet. And
yet not one farmer in fifty plants beans
or even buys them for his table. They
form first rate material for square meal.
for a square half days work.
Potatoes ought to go on every farmers
table, well-cooked and smoking hot,
baked, boiled or mashed, three times a
Gay-and yet not one farmer in ten in
the west lays up a supply to last him
over winter.
Onions are healthful and nutritious,
raw or cooked, and are highly relished
Dy most persons, yet but few farmers
ralse tnem and store them away for
winter.
PaTsnlps, carrots, turnips, etc. are
raised by few farmers only, yet they help
set OH table very much, and for SOUP
are almost Indispensable. Put in heaps
Or pits out doors and well covered with
soil, or placed in the cellar and covered
with soil or sand, they keep in good con-
dition all winter, and are very different
from the shriyeled, dried-up things that
are left exposed in the cellar to the in
furious influences of the air. How few
farmers lay in a supply of winter cab
bage. Although it is not very nutritious,
yet 1t Is highly relished by most people,
and dinner of corned beef and cab
bage, well cooked, with other vegetables
ETC.. will keep one from starving. We
could mention many other vegetables.
emitting fruits entirely, that ought to be
stored away fof winter, but desist. Farm
ers must look ahead and provide well
for their families. Really, and We mean
just what we say, one of the chief rea-
sons that so many boys, and girls too,
leave the farm is, they can find SC much
greater variety of food in towns and
cities than they get at home. They are
growing, their systems demand much
food and good food They are always
hungry as wolves. They have active, Wig
orous bodies and brains to support. If the
old folks viii recollect the appetites they
had when young and how rapidly they
would make good victuals disappear,
they can appreciate the condition of
their children. And so we say, by all
means, provide in summer for the wants
Of winter by laying by adequate stores
TOR that season.

He Got Tired.

Yesterday forenoon fatherly-looking
man appeared at the corner of Wood
ward and Jefferson avenue and asked a
pedestrian where the Home of the
Friendless was; saying that he desired to
adopt child. He was given the infor-
nation, but after the lapse of an hour
he had progressed only one block. He
seemed to have put away several glasses
of beer, and his eyes had heavy look
as he asked of boy:
"Bub, kin you tell me where the Friend
of the Homeless isF"
The boy told him, and the stranger
went up as far as the monument, wan
dered around by the market, and at noon
he was heard asking a woman:
Madam, kin you tell me where to
find the Home of the Homeless, as l
want to adopt a orphan?"
She didn't know, and he didn't seem
to care much, as he felt sleepy. When
dragged out of an alley about mid after
noon he looked vacantly around, and
queried:
az zhis er Friendless of er Homeless,
er er Houseless of er Friendless, or er
Friendship of er Homeless, or whaz p
"Do you want to adopt an orphan p
asked the officer.
The stranger lurched along for whole
block, deeply thinking, and then an
swered:
"Nozur; l want a orfun to iopt me-"
He was adopted till the next session
of the Central Station Court.-DetrOit

How Stanley Made His Way.

Mr.. Henry Stanley is reported as say
ing that the first line he ever wrote as
a Journalist was an account of a naval
e1gaOement that he witnessed from the
mastRead-one of the earlier ones of the
war. He sent it to the Herald. 1t was
accented, published, and literally paid
for. and Stanley received a lattering let

ambition that he pplied himself to read
ing and study as vigorously as he could,
and the formation of the resolution to
travel and write. An acquaintance says
of him in the Cincinnati Commercial !:
His powers of labor were immense, and
he never tired nor lost his temper. l
have known him, after riding all day in
the ambulance, to remain up the entire
night, wrapped in an overcoat and blank
ct, and on his knees, by the aid Of tai
low candle, write, the live-long night,
several letters to different papers, yet on
the same subject, changing language and
ideas, SO as to be ready for the courier
who started at break of day, and then
trust to the iolting of the ambulance for
his mods of repose, on the narrow roads
to repeat the operation if he could Sc
cure any news or smelt u chance for
another letter"

The African HOney-Bird.

The honey-bird is about as large as a
gray mocking-bird, and is of similar col

of travellers, and to induce them to fol-

almost invariably leads the person who
follows to a nest of wild bees. While on
the route, it keeps up an incessant twit

whistle as they proceed, for the purpose
of signifying to their conductor that they
are still following it. When the bird ar

where the honey is deposited, T. hovers
over the spot, points at the deposit with
its bill, and perches on neigbboring
bush or tree to await its share of the
plunder. This is the usual termination
of the adventure. But sometimes the
honey-bIrd seems to be actuated by
love of mischief, and then instead Of
leading the traveller to a bees nest, it
conducts him to the lair of some wild
beast, and then flies away with twitter-
ing which sounds good deal ike iaugh-
