"A gloomy story is told by the
Times of India concerning the ravages of wild
beasts and venomous reptiles in that country
The total number of deaths during the last year
caused by wild beasts and snakes was no less
than twenty thousand. 1t ought to be possible
| in some way to lessen such an appalling NOR
tality.
| Nearly two hundred wrecks on the
British coast alone are already reported as the
/ results of the late storms and the full number
| of wrecks everywhere for that fatal week must
| be enormous. A second hurricane with blind

| dozens of wrecks on the coast has since passed
over Denmark. The autumn storms have been
| terribly destructive in northwestern Europe.
An experiment tried in Chicago
distillery resulted in the death of seven persons
and the severe wounding of seven others. Corn
was put whole into q mammoth kettle, and
steamed, then a strong pressure of steam applied

Mr.. r. B. Bryson and his assistant millrights
who are now thoroughly overhauling their
mill, and putting in what new machinery is
necessary to entirely complete their process,

Dried potatoes have not yet come
into our market, but it is said preparations have
this year been made in California for drying in
large quantities and shipping them to England,
where last year they met with a ready sale. A
machine has been invented for pressing and
drying potatoes that they will keep for years
and yet preserve their natural flavor. After
being thoroughly dried, they are ground into
coarse meal resembling rice.

of nervous diseases, decaying teeth. premature |
blindness and general lack of muscular and |
bone strength are greatly due to the impover

brain food or that Agassiz ever said that it was,
and claims that butter, being nearly all fat, is
better kind of brain food than any other.
-"What will the papers find to
talk about when the election is over ?" is the
question that has frequently been asked during
the last two or three weeks. Newspaper man
might with equal wisdom ask their questioners
what the people will find to talk about now
that the compaign is over. There is, fortu-
nately, always something sensational occur
public is not long lett without a subject of alb
sorbing interest to be talked about and dis
cussed in the press.

One of the fundamental principles l
IN which the Tennessee colony of Rugby was
ounded is that there shall be no liquor saloon 6
a the place. But about the first thing Mr..
duhes found, after his arrival was a couple of !
who had squatted on piece of
ground with an involved title, and opened
iram-shop. How to get rid of these most un-
Welcome of all intruders was q puzzle, until
he happy expedient was hit upon of building
school-horse next door, and opening school.
Then, under the State law the discounted ma
ives were obliged to pack their liquors and
move away, and Rugby is now teetotallers'
own.
Prescribing an overdose Of opium,
With the expectation that a part of il will be
'piiled when it is administered to the patient,
$ a novel system of medical practice. But such
seems to be the method of certain physician
of one of our large cities, who was recently ar
rested on charge OF malpractice. He prescribed
zen drops of opium tincture to be given to a
young infant. The child's mother was told by
'he druggist that the dose was excessive, and so
she gave only seven drops, but death resulted.

drops would be spilled when the medicine was
and, moreover, that he told the
mother to give strong coffee if the child fell in

lish colony, church for common use by the
various denominations of Christians has been
built. But Mr.. Hughes is anxious that all of
them should use the common prayer of that
liturgy which both in England and America
has proved itself the best expression, through
many generations, of the joys, hopes, and aspi-
ratons of large portion of those who speak
our language" 1t is doubtful, however, wheth-
er his desire will be gratfed. The experiment
of maintaining what are called union churches
has not usually worked WELL There needs to
be competition in religion, as in other things,
to keep up activity and interest.
