Suffering.

Mr.. Edgar S. Werner recently read be-
fore the Albany Institute paper on this
subject. Mr.. Werner himself was, at
one time, afflicted with this terrible dis
ease, and he says that parents almost in
variably treat a suffering child with
much severity, and thus by frightening
him increase his malady, or spoil him
utterly by too much leniency. The
proper way in which to treat such chill
dren is thus described: In nothing is
the adage, "An ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure, " more applicable
than in suffering. Indeed, in this in
stance, an ounce of the one is more eff
fective than hundredweight of the
other Children with suffering tenden-
cies should be especially well nourished;
they should take Il great deal of physical
and out door exercise; care should be
taken that their lungs are fully devel-
oped and that their nerves are not irri-
tated. Late hours and highly seasoned
food, and everything tending to derange,
weaken or unduly excite, mentally or
physically, should be avoided. The
child should not be allowed to talk too
rapidly or when out of breath. If he
has trouble with word he should be
asked to repeat the whole sentence and
not merely the offending word. Often
times serious mistake is made here.
The child is drilled upon his most diff
cult words, and he comes to fear them,
and, rs result, his ability to articulate
them is continually lessened- He should
not be permitted to associate with another
suffering child; indeed, no child should.
Inveterate suffering may be caused by
mimicking others. Throughout, the
child should be subjected to kind but
firm treatment

Animals destroyed - Tigers, 70;
leopards, 226; bears, "a; wolves, 1856;
hyenas, l; other animals, AS; snakes,
6,196. Of the last named, 7O,094 were
dispatched at Ratnagari alone, whence
infer that Ratnagari is good locality
to avoid, unless one has his pockets full
of snake stones.
To-day l have the following partial
figures from government officer on
duty in the central provinces. In this
great political district there were killed
in 1878: OF tigers, 1877, against 203 in
1877; of FATHERS, 39l, against 544 in the
previous year; of bears, l57, against 207.
Government pays a bounty of fifty shil-
lings for tiger and ten shillings for
leopard. The skins are never brought
in cured, and they are generally much
spoiled in the skinning. The claws are
always taken out and the whiskers
singed. My correspondent says: 1t
is the veriest accident to get complete
skin-one worth having. Government
officers have orders to so destroy the
skins that they shall not be again
brought up for reward. 1t is usual to
cut off the heads of all skins in conse-
quence." Let those, therefore, who pos
sess fine tiger skin, rug or sleigh robe,
value their prize. | saw yesterday, at
a Mohammedan's shop in Bombay, lot
ofthirty- y-eight leopard skins just in from
Africa; but on looking them over |
could not fine one that had either head
or claw remaining.
Let me conclude by repeating the very
interesting story that our Rajpoot, Bichu
Nath, told me about the source of his
snake stones. He says-and his state
ment has been corroborated to me byFa
learned native physician from the Dec
can-that in the ro2f of the mouth of
about one cobra in a hundred will be
seen this bony growth, covered with the
ordinary skin that lines the reptile's9 up
per jaw. 1t is not attached to the bone
of the skull, but may be separated by
simply cutting the skin which covers it.
The mouth will bleed profusely after
the operation, and the snake will survive
only four or five days. Bichu Nath
affirms that the possession of this ''stone"
makes the cobra king among its Jel-
lows. A similar growth is found among
a species of yellow toad, whose bite to
poisonous. though the "stone" from the
latter is not so powerful an antidote is
cobra poison as that from the cobra it.
self. To save the life of bitten person
the toad stone must be applied within
two minutes; the cobra stone acts until
the heart ceases its pulsations. 1t is not
required that the cobra stone should be
soaked in fresh (or stale) milk to draw
out the poison, nor be washed in water,
nor have anything else done to it, except
| to wipe it with clean cloth after using

The CrOps in EurOpe,

Charles A. Dana writes as follows
from London to the New York Sstn
This year nature is against the British
farmer. The season has been disastrous
from the beginning, and there is now no
hope that 1t will end in anything but
calamity. Rains have fallen necessarily.
The crops, even the best of them, have
nowhere attained more than middling
growth, and now the continued floods
destroy all expectation of an average
product in any part of the British is
lands.
Ireland is much better off; yet even
there, in many parts, the people are
likely to suffer severely for want of food
during the coming winter.
On the continent the situation is much
less gloomy; but in France, in Western
Switzerland, in Southern Germany and
in Holland, it is still bad season. The
general state of the different crops may
be summarily described as follows
Hay-Inferior in Ireland, very bad in
deed in England, poor in France, better
in Switzerland; and in Southern Ger
many and Holland about the same as in
France.
Oats-A wretched crop in every
country where / have been. In ireland
and England hardly worth harvesting;
in France and the other parts of the con-
tinGnt to which have referred, perhaps
good enough to pay the expense of
harvesting.
Lucerne and millet-Poor every
where.
Potatoes-Quite as poor as the oats
everywhere bad crop. In Ireland es-
pecially, and in France, poorer than any
other crop. A good potato will be a
rarity in all these portions of Europe for
a year to come. The failure of the po-
tatoes is in fact as nearly complete as
possible and leave any potatoes at all;
and this is the case wherever my obser-
walton has extended.
Wheat-Poorest of all in England and
Ireland, where l should say the yie,d
cannot pay more than half its cost. In
France there will be perhaps about
three-q uarters of a good average, and
that country will be able to furnish its
own bread for the coming year, The
same is true of Western Switzerland,
Southern Germany and Holland. But
the United Kingdom will have to seek
for its supplies elsewhere.
The only crop that seems to me at all
satisfactory is that of vetches, of which,
so far as l can judge, the yield is likely
to be tolerable.
In Russia, on the other hand, an i'm
mense wheat crop is reported, and heavy
purchases have been made there on
Western account.
Yet one bad harvest or a dozen Of
them will not ruin England.

Another Sea Serpent.

Captain j. f. Cox, of the ship Priva-
teer, arrived with his vessel in New
York recently from London, and told a
remarkable story of a sea serpent which
he says he encountered during his voy-
age. He said the weather was fine and
clear, and the ship was making good
speed under dazzling sun, a hundred
miles from Brest, off the coast of France.
About five o'clock in the afternoon,as he
was walking the quarter deck looking to
windward, he saw something black
slowly lift itself twenty feet above the
sea. To his profound amazement he
saw that it was fully five feet in diameter
and of indefinite length, as a portion of
the body was necessarily in the water.
The captain knew that there could be no
delusion, for it was not more than three
hundred yards away, and its snaky con-
tortionS caused commotion in the
water as if school of whales were fight
ing. But the captain felt no fear until
the immense mass began moving to-
ward the ship. Just at this moment the
serpent lifted its head aloft, and, with
fascinating grace. swung its neck around
for a moment over the white caps and
suddenly, with loud splash, disap-
peared. 1t Immediately rose again,
poised its vulture-hke head over the
waves a moment, then went down into
the white foam. This remarkable per-
formance was repeated three times, at
intervals of ten seconds. Then the SER
pent turned completely around and
dashed away from the ship. In conclu-
sion the captain says that he has seen
many kinds of fish and sea monsters,
but never anything that could be called
n sea serpent. In this instance he says
he not only saw the outlines of the SER
pent, but carefully noted its great mel
ancholy eyes. It's color was of a deep
black and its shape like that of an eel.

American Inventive Genius.

An English paper gives credit to
American genius for at least fifteen in
ventions and discoveries, which, it says,
have been adopted all over the world.
These triumphs of American genius are
thus enumerated: First, the cotton
gin; second, planning machine; third,
the grass mower and grain reaper ;
fourth. the rotary printing press; fifth,
navigation by steam; sixth, hot air or
caloric engine; SEVENTH. the sewing
machine; eighth, the INDIA India rubber rut in
facture of horse shoes; tenth, the sand
blast for carving; eleventh, the gauge
lathe; twelfth, the grain elevator
thirteenth, artificial ice manufacture on
large scale; fourteenth, the electro
magnet and its practical application
fifteenth, the composing machine for
printers.

it. 1t should be kept dry in a box.
Great caution must, however, be used
not to take it near a corpse, nor to expose
it to light during a solar or lunar
eclipse. If the puncture made by the
fang of the snake can be seen-not so
very easy matter since the point of the
tooth is as fine as q cambric needle-ap-
ply the stone to the place; if not, then
the skin may be cut anywh, re, and the
stone laid on the wound. If the cobra
stone be soaked some time in water that
has been standing over night, and the
water then given to person who has
been bitten by a rabid dog, hydrophobia
will be prevented or cured, according to
the stage the disease has reached.

FOur.LeaYed Clover.

AOuA -1CoNOu OAONOAe
Once, when simplest flowers of earth
Seemed to be of heavenly birth;
When each month was like the May
And all life a holiday,
Through the fields we used to 60,
Wandering gayly to and fro,
Seeking here and searching there
Searching tireless everywhere,
Hill and vale and meadow over,
Just to find tOur-leaved clover.
What triumphant shouts would rise
When we saw the fairy prize!
Saw the pcecious, dainty thing
Which, as we believed, could bring
Wondrous luck and boundl ess joy
To the favored girl or boy
Who, in eostacy of pleasure,
First espied the magic treasure!
Now, with steps more sad'and slow,
Though the autumns fields we go,
md our hearts less quickly beat
To that music strange and sweet
Which the dreaming poets hear
Echoing ever, tar or near.
Yet cen now, if happy chance
Lures our meditative glance
70 some green and dainty cover
Where upsprings tour-leaved clover,
Straight a thrill of glad surprise
Warns the heart and lights the eyes,
And we, halt in earnest, say:
"This will be lucky day."
All! the simple Joys and true
That our dreaming childhood knew!
Let us cling, through good and i'll,
To their precious memories still!
Like soft winds, from distant bowers,
Waiting scent of sweetest flowers,
Float they round the darker ways
ALL must tread in later days.
Time, that steals full many a charm
From our lives, can do small harm
II he leaves undimmed and bright
Childhoods faith and pure delight
In the lowly things that lie
Everywhere beneath the sky.
