How Nutmegs Grow.

Nutmegs grow on little trees which
look like small pear trees, and are gen.
orally over twenty feet high. The flow
ers are very much like the lily of the
valley. They are pale and very fra
grant. The nutmeg is the seed of the
fruit, and mace is the thin covering over
this seed. The fruit is about as large
as peach: When ripe it breaks open
I'D shows the little nut inside. The
trees grow on the islands of Asia and in
tropical America. They bear fruit for
seventy or eighty years, having ripe
fruit upon themat all seasons. A fine
tree in Jamaica has over 1000 nutmegs
on it yearly. The Dutch used to have
all this nutmeg trade, as they owned
the Banda islands, and conquered all
the other traders and destroyed the
trees. To keep the price up they once
\burned three piles of nutmegs, each of
which was as large as church. Nature
did not sympathize with their near
ness. The nutmeg pigeon, found in all
the Indian islands, did for the world
what the Dutch determined should not
be done-carried the nuts, which are
their food, into all: the surrounding
countries, aud trees grew up again, and
the world had the benefit. -

Prevention and Cure.

Minneapolis Tribune.
From the authority Of the leading Medical
boards, State boards of health, Sanitary in
spectOrs and others, who have given the sub
iect much attention, VIC learn that the terrible
disease of diphtheria is beyond all doubt a
blood poisoning disease, caused Ivy a malarial
cess-pool or sewers gas poison, hich when in
hailed inoculates the blood with its poisonous
virus, and fatal results soon follow in nearly
all cases; especially so when the blood and the
whole system is in an impoverished, feeble
and debilitated condition when attacked by
the poisonous virus. The remedy to use in all
such cases is one that acts promptly and ef
(ectually upon the blood, driving all blood
poison from before it, and building up the
whole system. DR.. E. B. Halliday's Blood
Purifier has been tried and found to be almost
a specific III this terrible disease. Not only is
it cure for diphtheria, but it is also a pre-.
ventative as it is the most valuable blood rem.
edy now in existence. It strikes at the roots
of diphtheria and of all diseases of the blood
giving instant relief and permanent Benefit.
If you are attacked with the disease take
the remedy in double doses at once

If you live in a vicinity, or your
business calls you where diphtheria RACES, lose

surgeons had done all they: could for
him. he had been told that he must
die. He had 9 contempt for death, and
prided himself on his fearlessness in
facing it. =. =, ~
A rough and wicked life, With none
but evil associates, had blunted his
sensibiities and made profanity and
scorn his second nature. To hear him
speak one would have thought he had
no piously-nurtured childhood to re-
member, and that he had never looked
upon religion but to despise it. But it
was not so.
a noble and gentle. hearted man
came TO see the dying soldier. He ad-
dressed him with kind inquiries, talked
to him tenderly of the life beyond
death, and offered spiritual counsel.
But the. sick man paid him no, atten-
ton or respect. He bluntly told him
that he didn't. want any religious con-
versation.
You will let me pray with you, will
you not :" said the man at length. g.

face to the wall. 49,

moments silence be began TO- sing the

every congregation in Scotland:

He had a pleasant voice, and the
words and melody were sweet and

A Positive Christianity.

teligent infidel, who stared me in the
face while he asked me if was posi-
tive that my Christianity was true; to
which I replied that had not doubt,
and that the evidence was fixed in my
heart; to which he replied that it had
always been difficult thing for him to
believe doctrine that was a matter of
so much uncertainty to so many who
call themselves Christians. 'a Well"
said he, I am in the habit of asking
Christians whether they have the assur-
ance that the Lord is with them, and
when they answer in the affirmative
their faces betray them, and look as
thong h they had been caught in the
act of stealing. And, for my part. I
never can be Christian as long as I
find such poor representatives of Chris
tianity. Why, sir, it is the rarest thing
that 1 can find man that is positive ;
and, therefore, there must be something
wrong. When q business man makes
himself known to me as such, he does
not say, Il think I am q member of
such and such frm,' Il hope am thus
and So I do not question his veracity,
and rarely think it necessary to ask him
for any papers to prove it, because he
is positive about it; but the usual an
swer to my plain question is, Il hope
so,' L am trying to be- Il used to be-
or would like to be- Suppose I was

the Bible is true, and you are the rep

How Myths Originate.

No doubt many legends of the
ancient world, though not really his
tory, are myths which have arisen by
reasoning on actual events as definite
as that which, some four years ago, was
terrifying the peasant mind in North
Germany, and especially in Posen. The
report had spread far and wide that all
Catholic children with black hair and
blue eyes were to be sent out of the
country, some said to Russia, while
others declared it was the King of
Prussia who had been playing cards
with the Sultan of Turkey, and had
staked and lost 40, 900 fair,haired, blue
eyed children; and there were Moors
travelling about in covered carts to
collect them; and the schoolmasters
were helping, for they were to have
So for every child they handed over.
For time the popular e1-
oitement was quite serious; the pa
rents kept the children away from
school and hid them, and when they
appeared in the streets Of the market
town the little ones chung. to them with
terrified looks. Dr.. Schwartze, the
weu-known mythologist, took the
pains to trace the rumor to it's
source. One thing was quite plain,
that its prime cause was that grave
and learned body, the Archaeological
Society of Berlin, who, without a
thought of the commotion they were
stirring up, had, in order to class the
population as to race, induced the an
thorities to have .. census made
throughout the local schools to ascer-
tain the color of the Ychildren's skin,
hair and eyes. Had it been only the
boys, to the Government inspection Of
whom for military consumption tie
German peasants are only too well &C
customed, nothing would heve been

Brown Paper Agsinst the Cold.

The '"old" woman'ss remedy for; q
"cold on the chest" sore throat, or q
bruise, which consisted in an applica-
ton of brown paper stepped in beer or
vinegar, owed its efficacy to the heat
retaining properties of the paper. A.
wet pad Of this material as far as the
surface next to the skin was concerned,
acted almost as well as layer of wet
linen rag protected with thick cover
ing.of flannel. In short, stout paper of
the .commonest sort is an effective non
conductor, and may be advantageously
employed as covering for beds or to exc
out scanty clothing. A piece of thick
paper inserted between the lining and
the cloth of a waistcoat or in the back
Of thin coat will render it warm as
well as light. The suggestion is
small one, but it is simple to carry into
effect, and will be found effective.

L. A Fighting Tar.

We have recently heard an interesting
anecdote, by which one can deduce q
moral and adorn it into a tale, of how
second thought SO often prevents vast
complications: There lisa Yankee skip
per from Maine, well known as q local
trader, Capt. Pitcher, he is, like most
Maine men, large-proportioned and pow
ertul. Some years ago he ran the Kra1z
from Washington to Boston, but has
been abroad since, trading between this
county and the Continent. As the story
goes, . British troop-ship, commanded
by an irritable, impetuous old duffer of
the; Qheen's snavee," was at anchor in q
foreign port > Capt. Pitchers bark was
being piloted in, and, through some
Encouragement, fouled the jibboom of
the troop-ship, doing, however, little CT
no damage. The old officer, in a fury
of rage, howled: = - '"', '.,'~.
Come on board, sir"
The Yankee skipper, not exactly know
ing what TODD under the circumstances,
pulled; in his gig to thesladder. of the
trooprship, and mounted. to the deck.
He was somewhat startled when; as he
stood upon it, the old officer called:
...," Sentry, arrest that man.
/: The skipper was astonished, but
quickly answered: lam an American
citizen. I am ularmed, but no man
shall arrest me-"
=. Arrest him, sentry. Don't you hear
me :" roared the Captain. - - @.~-
The sentry. advanced to seize the
skipper, but was met with a left-hander
that would: discount q pile-driver.
Quickly the Yankee made for the gang
way, striking down every man who in
terfered, leaped into his gig, and pulled
off to his bark. Straight to the Ameri-
can Consul he went and put his case be-
fore him. The ttertold him he would
attend to the matter, and the next day
the skipper called. The Consul. sat at
the center of the table; to his right was
the English officer, no other than Vice
Admiral Sir James Hope, K. G. B., in
all the splendor of full uniform.
admiral Hope, Capt. Pitcher" intro
duced the Consul. . .,.r
~ Captain, am delighted to meet
you, responded the Admiral. "And
now let the war 60 on" -. 49,,
He spoke in the suayest manner and
with the sweetest of smiles. The skip
per, bluntly said that he thought the
English officer should apologize p. :.
Not at all, not at all; no, dear
friend. You came on board my ship,
whipped the entire Queens navy. and
escaped without q scratch. Is that not
sufficient satisfaction? Don't let. us
have any Alabama claim business;
please don't ask an apology; you are
too good fellow, I know, to enforce
it,. FAX:
well, Admiral" began the Captain,
greatly notified. "Well, Admiral, I
sorter guess that perhaps it's all right"
~Of course it is. We are diplomats,
and have some splendid brandy in my
cabin. There are excellent cigars; we
will adjourn to our brandy and cigars,
and our two nations will postpone the
war. II all your sailors are like you 1
should prefer that the war be indefinite-
~ postponed."- Boston Journal.
