suggested in the Lancet, might prove to be q
remedy of very great value. 1t Is a snuff
a white powder composed of the following
ingredients: Hydroehlorate of msrphia, two
grains; acacia powder, two dracAms; trisni-
trate of hismuth, six drachms-the whole
making quantity of powder, Of which from
one-quarter to one-half may safely be taken,
if necessary, in the course of "a hours. DIR.
Terrier says that with this snuff he has twice
cured himself of very violent colds, once in
deed, by taking trisnitrate of bisms:th alone,
which is very powerful remedy for catarrh
of the mucous membrane, and is the most
important ingredient in this snuff. DIR. Fer
rier mentions two others who were cured of
violent colds by the same snuff and to these
instances we may add that of the present
writer, who having very violent cold COM

Short Skirts.
lForney's Progress.I

Short skirts are becoming the highest
mode in Paris. They are now even worn at
receptions A few days ago an arissocratic
bride chose for her wedding toilet short
skirt of gauze almost yelled by ruchings
and hounces of deep valenciennes lace. 1t
must be added that an immense manteau de
cosap, cut square at the bottom, formed a
train, but it was completely independent
from the skirt. and even held to it only at
the waist. This manteau de cour was made
of brocaded silk, lined with satin,a and edged
with ruching Of valenciennes lace. Trains
will, it is thought, entirely disappear this
winter, but as this result is not yet obtained,
graceful manner of taking up the folds of
ball dresses has been imagined. A hook,
concealed by flowers or made of gold and
inlaid with precious stones, is tightly sewed
on ono side of the skirt, and by means of il
the train is held up securely and prettily.

Did Newton Smoker
[chambers' Journal. i

During the tobacco controversy in the
medical journals some years ago. one of the
combatants declared that the great Sir Isaac
Newton was determined smoker. This set
inquirers to work, and they found that the re-
liable biographies of the great philosopher
do not support this assertion. On the con-
trary, Sir David Brewster says that "when
Sir Isaac was invited to take snuff he de
clined either to smoke or to snuff remarlxing
that he would make no necessities to him.
