The Size of q Drop.

Mr.. T. L. Talbot has made q series of
experiments regarding the size of drops
and their use in measuring medicines,
etc. He finds that liquids containing n
small portion of water afford a small
drop and visa versa. Gamelin's state
ment "that the cohesion of liquids is
pretty nearly in proportion to their
specific gravity" is called in question,
and the fact that alcohol and mecury
afford nearly the same number of drops
to the drachm certainly throws consider
able doubt upon the matter. The size OF
drops is effected principally by the CO.
hesion OF the liquid, and the form of lip
over which the drop falls. Bottles with
ground necks, wide, thin even lips give
fair results, b.t are not so accurate as
droppers." The best of these will not,
however, average at all well. The ad-
ministration of powerful medicines
should not be attempted by drops, and
this mode of measurement is, in any case,
inadmissable if the quantity exceeds half
a drachm. The largest drop is formed
by syrup of gum arabic, forty four to the
drachm, and the smallest by chloroform
$50 to the drachm. AS a general rule
tinctures. fluid extracts and essential
oils yield drop less than one-half the
size of water, and acids and solutions
give drop but slightly smaller than
er.-Jouy1aaI of Chemistry.

A Romantic Suicide.

A st. Petersburg paper narrates
touching story of an occurrence in one
of the principal hotels in that city. A
young gentleman from Moscow who
had been aying for few days by HIM
self in the hotel, ordered dinner one day
to be served for two. He then went to
the railway station, evidently to meet
his expected friend. He, however, re-
turned to the hotel alone at dinner
time. AS his door was fastened and no
reply could be got from within, the
police were sent for to break open the
door. The young gentleman was found
stretched across the table shot through
the heart. On the table also lay the
photograph Of a young lady, and the
fragments of q letter were found scat
tered about the floor. Another letter
was found addressed to the proprietor of
the hotel saying that the " ritter had shot
himself in despair because the young
lady whom he had been expecting had
not kept her promise. Half an hour
atterward came the postman, bringing
letter from the young lady herself,
saying that she had missed the train
and would be unable to come till the
next day. The scene when the unfortu-
nate lady arrived and was informed OF
the tragedy that had taken place can be
better imagined than described.

How to Keep Healthy.

Do not neglect venti lating your bed
rooms when the weather becomes cold.
In the morning hoist the windows, take
off the bedclotkes, shake and stir the
ticks, turn the upper one over the foot
roll. This will prevent the impure odors
penetrating further, and they will escape
faster while the bed is warm, and you
will not have to wait for the beds to ali
when you are ready to make them.
In hot weather we sleep with all the
windows open, but do not allow the
wind to blow directly upon us. In the
coldest nights of winter we only leave
the doors open connecting with other
rooms. On no account sleep in tight
rooms without at least crack 10 admit
of pure air. Plenty of fresh air gives
health, strength and elasticity to The
lungs and body.
Keep the pores of the skin open, to lei
impurities pass out freely, by washing
the body once a week in winter, anc
oftener in summer. Have the room
warm, bathe quickly and wipe dry, anC
you will not eel chilly if it has beer
done properly. If all the clothing worr
by day were aired, while we sleep ir
other garments, much health and com
fort would be added to life. One-thirC
of our lives is spent in our sleeping
rooms. Do be particular about them

M. de Lesseps states that the opening

1t now falls at least twice a month.
M. Roudaire has presented to the

Professor Dufour, of Paris, has devised

Election of the index needle OF two
inches, the change of temperature caused
by the entrance of person into the
room where 1t is placed.
1t is surprising how quickly the vege-
tation of many countries settled by
Europeans has been modified. A Ger.
man writer, describing the flora OF Chill
south OF the Valdivia river, states that
the scenery between the Rio Buena and
its winding affluents reminds him very
strongly of home. In the park-like
prairies, associated with deciduous
beeches, are numerous scattered app'e
trees, originally introduced from Eu-
tOpO.. lhC dpple bEte uto SpiCstu IL loln
Valdivia to Osorno, and even crossed
the Andes into NorthwesternlP Patagonia,
and spread thence eastward, Indeed, it
has become so widely distributed and
so general that the Indians from the
distant regions of the Argentine rivers,
Rso Negro and Rio Colorado are called
Manzaneros, or Apple Indians.
The investigations of Herr Wei,h have
shown that of various bodies of water,
under otherwise similar conditions, that
one has the greatest quantity OF fish
which contains tue most dissolved bicar-
Donate of lime. A simple explanation OF
this seemingly strange fact is given. The
simple carbonate of lime is widely
distributed on the bottoms of lakes
but, being insoluble, is not taken
up by the water. If, however, the water
contain an abundance of carbonic acid
which is produced, OF course, by ami.
mails in respiration transforms the
carbonate into the bicarbonate, which
readily dissolves in water. 1t appears
therefore, that by sure chemical an
| alysis, one may, with considerable
probability, estimate the quantity o
fish in body of water; and conversely
Herr Weith has often been al le to give
a remarkably accurate statement of th'
chemical composition of body o.
water on learning the quantity of fish
contained in it.

Patent FIOUr.

Patent -four is now coming into gen
era use, and many OF our leaders may
| be interested in reading the following g
explanation of what it is and how it is
made, taken from the Prairie Farmer:
Until recently the best -four was made
from winter wheat; or, rather the flour
made from winter wheat sold for the
most money because it was white. But
it consisted Tor the most part of the
starch of the grain, while the most of
the gluten (the most nutritious part of
the grain) went into the middliugs.
In grinding spring wheat so much
bran remained in the -four that it was
too dark to suit the taste of the con-
sumers. But the middlings, which sold
at a low price, has become the most de-
sirable part of the grain.
Middling purifers--by which the
bran is separated from the middlings-
have made revolution in the business
of milling.
By the new process the wheat is
ground as before, except that the efforts
OF the miller are directed to obtaining
the most middlings possible, and these
are placed upon large horizontal sieves
which are constantly agitated, while at
the same time by ingenious devices a
draft of air is rushed up through the
sieves which carries off the bran.
The purified middlings are then re-
ground and the product is "patent "
| flour, containing the glutenous, or most
nutritious portion OF the grain. Thus it
is explained why the hard spring wheats
of Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin and
Dakota bring the highest price in the
market, whereas only a few years ago
they commanded only the lowest price.

Opium Drunkards.

The public were shocked not long
since by the account of the death of q
lady, the daughter OF one of the most
eminent professional men in the country,
from an overdose of morphine. The
wretched story was published all over
the country.
This woman was young and beautiful.
She had high culture, and was by nature
gentle, loving and lovable. A few years
ago she began to take opium for some
disease, and soon became its victim. All
her struggles against it were vain. At
an age when she should have been in the
full vigor of her womanhood, happy
and retired wife and mother, she died
alone, and her downfall and disgrace
were oiazoned in every city of the Union.
=, Opium drunkenness is said to be on
tue increase in this country, and it pre-
walls largely among women. Very few
matrors or young girls, wher suffering
from weakness or nervous disorders,
would resort to brandy or whisky. But
dose of laudanum, or some other
anodyne, they regard as harmless.
Physicians, too, heedlessly prescribe
something which they vaguely cali
crops TO an overworked mother, or
young girl exhausted by incessant dane
Ing and flirting, when the proper rene
dies would be a few weeks rest from
labor and care, and a more wholesome,
rational life.
American women are, as a rule.
energetic. The busy housekeeper and
the eager belle find resort to seemingly
innocent little black bottle, when they
are run down." much easier than the
giving up of work, or the sacrifice of
balls and germans. Before they are
conscious of their danger, they are
victims to the most hopeless and terrible
OF appetites-they are opium drunkards.
1t is probable that no one who has
ever become addicted to this habit has
been able to conquer it. DeQuincy
wrote book that for dramatic horror
and pathos has not its like in literature,
TO prove that ii was possible to rise "out
OF the deep;" but he sank again, help
less and hopeless.
The best monograph on the opium
habit written in America, was the work
OF brilliant man of letters who
believed himself cured, yet died its
victim. Most of our readers can recall
at least one opium drunkard whom they
have known. The livid, corpse-like
skin, the CLASSY eye, the vague air of
terror, are unmistakable. They are signs
that the nightmare, life-in-death, has
seized its prey, and is dragging it surely
down to the grave Youths Companion

Dangerous Toys.

An English paper publishes the fol-
lowing caution, which may be of ser
vice to American parents: A nun Der
of toys imported to Paris from Furth,
in Bavaria, have been seized by the
police because the brilliant colors with
which they were painted were composed
of poisonous materials. Young chill
dren carry almost everything which
they hold in the hands to the mouth, and
therefore, neither the coloring nor the
substance of toys should ever be poison
Gus.
Toys OF brilliant hues, elastic balls,
eolored and vanished, and leaden SOL
diers in uniform, of every variety, are
among the seizures. The Furth manu-
iacturers send their toys all over Ger
many, and Germany furnishes nearly
all the cheap toys In England.
II is very probable that this country
will not escape its share of the distribu-
tion. so parents should keep sharp eye
on the nursery, and see that sickness or
death may not lurk in these means of
childish amusement.
