Enyironed With Danger.

The dweller or temporary %sojourner in a
malarious region OF country is environed with
danger, Besides inhaling at every breath all
atmosphere saturated with an infectious poi
son, he also drinks water which is in most in
stances likewise impregnated with the fever
and ague breeding miasmata II a bilious
subject, deficient in stamina, or irregular in
habit Of body or digestion, his peril is much
increased. ~ these abnormal conditions are
extremely favorable 10 the contraction OF ma
larial disease. Bat this danger may be safely
encountered with the assistance Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which completely ~nulllfes
the atmospheric virus, and neutralizes the
constituents Of miasma- tainted water. This
benign ant,dote TO disease eradicates and pre-
vents feyers Of an intermittent and bilious re-
mittent type, besides e~ffecting a thorough and
permanent reform Of those enfeebled or irreg-
ulsr conditions of the system which invite not
only malaria, but other diseases equally to be
dreaded.

Tame Ostriches.

These strange birds stalked at the
head of the procession of domestic ami
mails and appeared to be on the most
excellent terms with all of them. Oc-
casionally one would deviate to the

What We owe Insects.

To insects we " wax and honey,
silk and precious dyes, valuable medi-
cines, food for birds and many other
animals, the fertilization and increase
Of plants necessary for the subsistence
OF many creatures, and thus, Indirect
ly, for the preservation of man. In
short, the human species, wholly de-
priyed Of the service of insects, would
fade from the face of our planet. So,
the h%usbandman has only to make the
best Of 1t by learning to distinguish be-
tween his friends and his foes, and how
to assist the b%eneticent operations OF
nature in encouraging the former and
checking the latter.

SCIENTIFIC.

Foreim Bodies in The Nose and Ears
DR.. Mason, says that foreign bodies,
such as cherry stons, locust beans, brass
rings, slate pencils, screws, buttons,
pieces OF wood, peas, etc, are not unfre.
| ouently met with In the Rural and nasal
| cavities Of children, and even of adults.
such substances have been known Ia
remain In one OF other OF these cavities
for nearly a lifetime, causing little or
no inconvenience. Thus "A case Is related
Of a lady from whose nOstril a foreign
body was dislodged during the act OF
sneezing. 1t was found 10 be a button
which mad belonged 10 her brother
when they were both infants. Another
case is recorded in which a piece OF
| slate pencil was removed from a
woman's ear, which had been put
there when she was at school forty
years before. And a third instance, In
which a cherry stone had been In an ear
for sixty years. A case Is recorded Of
a gentleman, aged forty-one, from
whose ear a piece OF cedar wood was re-
moved by Swinging. The patient remem-
bered distinctly the fact Of Its intro
duction when he was a boy at school, at
least thirty years previous. No attempt
had been made to extract 1t, and It's
presence had not troubled him until
now. 1t occasionally happens, how
ever, that a good deal Of inflammatory
action is set up by the foreign body, as
in the case of a girl who was under the
authors care in the hospital, TO which
she had been admitted on account of a
small stone in her ear. she subse-
quently had paralysis Of the facial
nerve. A case is reported of a child
who not only had facial palsy, but died
of meningitis, caused by the presence of
a locust bean in the ear. Living Larvae
have been found in the meatus OF the
ear. Dr.. Routh publishes such a case.
The patient was a gentleman who three
years before was tormented by a fly
near his ear. Commissions followed
the presence of the larve, but the
patient recovered, although he remained
deaf. DR.. Blake, of Boston, has seen
four such cases. A case Is reported
which shows the curious course taken
by a pin that had been introduced into
the external meatus. 1t passed through
the middle ear, probably along the Eu-
stachian tube, and was extracted by
the patient from her throat by hooking
it with her finger. There are various
instruments employed for removing
foreign bodies from the ear, each good
in its way-a loop OF wire, or a needle
just slightly turned up, forceps, or an
instrument like that devised by the
authors colleague, DIR. Hone. This
consists of two pieces Of silk covered
silver wire, wound together in a single
strand, about three inches In length.
The whole is insulated and stiffened
with shellac, the ends being left loose
for connection with a battery and gal
vanometer; the object of the electrical
part being to detect the presence of
metallic bodies.

An account is given in La Patrie Of a
new invention In railway signals. The
description is very vague, but gives the
general Idea that mirrors are to be so
set as to reflect a hundred miles of road
to a mirror at a central station, which
in the present set of experiments is at
Marseilles. The statement is made that
in the central mirror all the movements
of trains on one hundred miles road can
be seen, and any danger of collision can
be perceived in time for suitable tele-
graphic orders to prevent accident.
The mirrors to be used are spoken of as
photographic mirrors whatever that
may mean. 1t is quite obvious that the
purpose could not be subserved by ordi-
nary mirrors.

Restoration Of Faded Hdndwriting.-
Won Bibra reports that a moderately
concentrated aqueous solution Of tannin
(gallo-tannic acid) will render legible
writing which has faded through age,
with none of the destructive effects on
the paper occasioned by the use OF
hydro-sulphate of ammonia. He applies
the tannin solution with a brush, re-
moves the excess by a current of water,
and dries the document alta temperature
of 80. go deg. r. Tie writing developed
in this manner remains clear and black
after the lapse of several months. OF
course only manuscripts written with
ordinary ink can be restored in this
way.

FEEDING PIGS SEPARATELY. - Stall
feed your pigs. No farmer ever raised
a litter of pigs without having one or
more small ones, partly owing to the
stronger ones denying the weaker
members a fair chance at the trough
and its contents. This is a serious
drawback and affects the profits. To
remedy the evil construct board parti-
tiOns, to divide the trough into spaces
of one foot or each, and running
back, say two feet or more, forming
stalls for the different members of the
litter. By placing them in position
several times when young, they will
sOon become accustomed to the situa-
ton and will not trouble each other at
feeding time, being satisfied that there
is enough for all. The stalls, of course,
will need charging with the growth of
the pigs.

SO IT WAs.-An elderly gentleman
of benign appearance has Of late been
distributing religious tracts In the
street cars, and at least one case of
%quickened conscience was brought to
public notice. A young man entered
the car, paid his nickle, and was handed
a tract headed, care you a Sinner2"
He turned pale at once, read a few lines,
and suddenly called out:
Yes, l ami l put a bad nickle In the
fare-bOx, but nov I'll begin a new life
by being honest.-Here, driver, change
this half dollar and I'll pay my fare
over again!"
The change was given him and he
paid, but after riding a block or so he
left the car to see a man on the walk.
The passengers thought it a wonderful
case, and all were deeply interested,
when the driver suddenly called out:
"Hang me-, if this ERE half dollar
isn't bogusv"
So it was.

Sailing BUTTER.--Ifthe butter Is soft

cooling before churning, and 1t may be
hardened by putting in about three
times the usual amount of salt, and
working it a little for two or three
mornings. Many of four very best dairy

gilt. edged butter use from two to three
ounces Of salt to five pounds of butter.
In this case the salt Is usually added at

remains in the butter.
