A COMMON AILMENT.-MALA 7lAL POI
S0NlNC

We give in our this weeks Sup
plement-number l02--a full report
Of a very interesting clinical letter,
lately delivered by Professor Alfred
l.. LOOMS, M. D.. before the class of
the University Medical College. this
city. on Malarial Poisoning. Accord
ing to Professor Loomis the effects of
malarial poison are manifested in a
surprising variety Of forms and symp-
tons; SO numerous and various, in fact,
that there cannot be Insulated. They
embrace enlargement of the spleen.
neuralgias Of different forms, that may
or may not be periodicals.; dyspeptic
troubles which cannot de relieved by
dyspeptic remedies; headaches that
are often treated as cerebral diseases;
Commissions of mind; staggering gaits;
loss Of power in portions of the body;
impairment Of mental faculties; ina
bility to do work of any kind; not sick
enough to go to bed. but too i'll and
habitually too tired to perform any
thing that requires the least exertiOn;
shortness Of breath: rapid, weak,
irregular pulse; sleepless nights, etc.
The first step toward cure is removal
from the malarial locality; then only
may the proper medicines be expected
to prove beneficial. The infection
appears to be far more widely spread
than is commonly supposed; and all
who have ailments that fall within the
category here mentioned, will do well
to read the excellent lecture.

THE;FLOUNDER.

Professor Alexander Agassiz read a
very important essay on TIL: develop
ment Of the founder. which fish in
early youth. has one eye on each side
of the head, like other bony fishes.
After three or four months. both eyes
are found on one side. Professor
Agassiz reaches the curious conclusion
that the eye slides around instead Of
going through.
The notion has been that this fish
has its eyes both on one side. because
its facilities for securing food are
thereby increased. But why should
not this process have. by natural
selection, resulted in fish that, when

ming bladders. There are other fishes
as fat as a founder. but with ewes on
both sides Of the frontal bone.
The sides Of the founder in the
Young are identical as to color. The
color is due to the pigment cells. Of
which there are three kinds. red blacl
and yellow. BY contraction Of these
cells the different colors are produced

Our purpose in referring to the
park was not so much to attempt a
description Of its really indescribable
wonders, as to call attention to the
work of vandalism already inaugu-
rated within it by tourists and visitors
Many Of the magnificent structures
built up by the action OF the hot
springs and geysers are being dis
figured and destroyed by trophy-hunt-
ers and others, actuated too often it
is to be feared, by pure love Of
destruction. This shameless raid
upon the varied glories of the 'sWon-
derland'' should at once be stopped by
the strong arm Of the law. Congress
ought promptly to take such action as
will protect and preserve the decora-
tions that Nature for ages past has
treasured up among these 'severlasting
hills and in the radiant valleys Of
the upper Yellowstone. A resolution
was passed at the recent meeting Of
the American Association for the
Advancement Of science. calling upon
our national authorities to act in this
matter. 1t is a subject of quite
much interest to educators as to men
of science, inasmuch as the park may
be justly regarded as a vast museum
whose unlimited resources are capable
Of illustrating almost every object of
thought or subject Of study within the
range of created existences. Let our
educators and friends Of education,
therefore, add their voices and votes
to those of the scientists in the effort
to preserve from dissertation, and for
the high purposes of instruction, the
grandest heritage of natural sublimity,
beauty, and utility ever bestowed upon

THE OLDEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD.
While in San Francisco we had been
shown the photograph of Eulalia Per-

in the world--and now finding our
selves in the close vicinity. we
resolved on paying her visit. Mr..
Baldwin accordingly drove MS to her
house. a quaint old brown adobe strue-

steeply from the centre. and two or
three old winevats built against the
walls.
We mounted to a piazza. where we
were met by avery pretty and very
typical Spanish girl. wearing high
comb and speaking English with a
very charming accent She showed
us into sitting-room. and. having

THE USES OF THE LEMON.

Few peple know the value of lemon
juice. A piece of lemon bound upon
a corn will cure it in a few days; it
should be renewed night and morning.
A free use of lemon-juice and sugar
will always relieve a cough. Most
people feel poorly in the spring, but if
they would eat lemon before break
fast every day for week-with or
without sugar, as they ike-they
would find it better than any medi-
cine. Lemon juice used according to
this recipe, will sometimes cure con-
sumption: Put dozen lemons into
cold water and slowly bring to a boil;
boil slowly until the lemons are soft,
then squeeze until all the juice is
extracted; add sugar to your taste and
drink. In this way use one dozen
lemons a day. If they cause pain
lessen the quantity, and use five or
six a day until you are better, and
then begin again with a dozen day
After using five or six dozen the
patient will begin to gain flesh and
enjoy food. Hold on to the lemons
and still use them very freely fol-
several weeks more Another use fol
lemons is for refreshing drink in
summer. or in sickness at any time
Prepare as directed above, and ado
sugar. But in order to have this keel
well, after boiling the lemons, squee1
and strain carefully; then, to every
half-pint of juice, add one pound OF
loaf or crushed sugar. boil and stir i;
| few minutes more until the sugar i.
dissolved, skim carefully and bottle
You will get more juice from tht
lemons by boiling them. and thu
preparation keeps better. -Londo,

LOVE-.

Love is the craving of the hear
For love, to make the poison d dart
OF hate lose all it's pain.
1t may be found in lordly halls,
Or in the poorest cottage walls,
And happiness will reign.
1t forms the charm of earthly bliss,
And constitutes the happiness
Of mortals here below;
1t soothes and heals the wounded soul,
And turns our thoughts to yonder goal,
Where ne'er is sin or woe.
1t makes our wandering thoughts to rove
To objects Of our special love,
Ard there with them remain,
And tastes the JOY: of being loved,
Till those we love have fully proved
That they are loved again.
Love! then remain with me till death,
And even with my latest breath,
I'll say, ado thou abide
If thou wilt take thy destined part,
And reign the monarch Of my heart,
No i'll can e'er betide.
Love attribute to one divine,
O'er all our actions do thou shine,
And point the road to heaven,
Where seeing Him, there shall know
That He is perfect love below
A taste of love is giveA.
