LEPRosY IN SPAIN.-The announce
ment that leprosy had made its appear.
ance in the province of Alicante will
not surprise any one who has travelled
in that part of Spain, for l was inform
ed while staying at Valencia that in
that province. which borders on Alican-
tie, there were one hundred and sixteen
known cases of leprosy last year, seven
ty-one of which proved fatal. There
can be no doubt that other cases had
escaped detection, as persons suffering
from this disease generally attempt to
conceal the fact even from their rela-
tives. There is hospital outside of
Valencia set apart entirely for lepers,
and all those who refuse to enter it are
kept isolated and are subject to very
severe sanitary regulations. AT St.
Simat de Valldigna the inhabitants
call leprosy "the Moor's evil" and at
Enquerra "St. Lazarus's evil" The
kind of leprosy most prevalent in the
province Of Valencia is tubercular, or
Greek leprosy, while in Alicante the
Hebrew leprosy is the most common
form.-PaU Mall Gazette.

An EXTRAORDINARY INvENTIoN.-The
last scientific story is told thus: The
Saturday Rerie,c once declared that the
greatest benefactor of the human race
would be he who could enable man to
drink an unlimited quantity of wine
without getting drunk. Such a man
has been found. DR.. Bell invented the
telephone, but its wonders pale before
the telegastograph. This is an electro
cal machine by which the palate can be
tickled and pleased by any flavor, and
for any length Of time, without fear Of
indigestion or inebriety. By putting
soup or fish or wine into q receptacle
connected with powerful battery, the
taste OF the daintiest viands can be con-
veyed along telegraph wire for miles.
and to an unlimited number Of bon
rirants. They have only to put the
wire into their mouths, and they seem
to be eating and drinking. They may
got drunk or over-fed, but the moment
the contact is broken the evil effects
pass of, and nothing remains but 80
delightful exhilaration." The inventor,
however, keeps the mods operandi .
perfect secret, and wishes to perfect
his discovery before he discloses it 10
the world.-Galigna~i's Assssngsr.

A collision between steamship ant

A collision between steamship and
q gigantic fish, which took place the
other day in the vicinity of the Tong
Tong Islands, is reported by the Times
of India. The Messageries Marittmes
steamer Anadw, on its voyage to
Shanghai, was suddenly brought to Il
stop by violent shock. The cause of
the collision was found to be an enorm-
Gus ray, or flat fish, estimated by those
on board to weigh from 5000 to 10000
pounds. The monster was lying asleep
on the top of the water when its repose
was rudely disturbed by dig in the
ribs" from the stem of the steamer.
After the first alarm had subsidized, ef-
forts were made to haul the creature on
board, but, owing to its unwieldiness.
all attempts in this direction proved
fruitless, and the fish, doubtless even
more shaken than the passengers on
the boat, was reluctantly allowed to
move off and seek such remedies for
the injury it had sustained as are to be
procured in the mysterious deep.--PaH

Progress of Total Abstinence in Eng
land.

In England, where the theory and
practice of total abstinence have always
been scoifed at by the cultivated major
ity, the awful prevalence of drunken
ness is leading to the formation of a
strong as any that ever existed in this
country. The clergy have hitherto
maintained drinking practices, but now
many of the ministers of the Establish
ment as we'll as of the dissenting bodies,
with large section of the medical
profession, and distinguished men from
every walk in life have united in a Wig
orouSMovement for the suppression of
drunkenness.
nonFarrar, in sermon preached
few Sundays since. in Westminster
Abbey, declared alcoholic drinking
and drunkenness to be the one glaring,
disgraceful. and perilous national vice,
by which the nation stands unenviably
distinguished and seriously endang-
cred"
SO strong a feeling of the evils of
drunkenness as that which now prevails
in respectable circles in England nat
urally leads to the adoption of the
Christian rule of total abstinence. 1t
does not require the imposition of total
abstinence upon others as q rule; it only
leads a man to say: because this evil
is SO great; and because 1 wish to save
those who are running themselves by
drink; and because cannot very effect.

staining myself; therefore relinquish

to which l deem myself entitled. that

to abandon it to whom it is proving

Accidental Discoveries.

Valuable discoveries have been made,
and valuable inventions suggested, by
the veriest accidents.
An alchemist, while seeking TO dis
cover a mixture of earths that would
make the most durable crucibles, one
day found that he had made porcelain.
The power of lenses, as applied to the
telescope, was discovered by a watch
makers apprentice. While holding
spectacle-glasses between his thumb and
finger he was startled at the suddenly
enlarged appearance of a neighboring
church spire. Calling the attention
of his master to this, the value of the
discovery at once struck him as import
ant, and to this simple accident is due
our knowledge of the whole planetary
system.
The art of etching upon glass was
discovered by a Nuremburg g~lass-cutter,
By accident a few drops of aqua FORTS
fell upon his s~pectacles. He noticed
the glsss became oorroded and softened
where the acid had touched it. That
was hint enough. He drew figures upon
glass with varnish, applied the corrod-
ing fluid, then cut away the glass around
the drawing. When the varnish was
removed, the figures appeared raised
upon a dark ground.
Mezzotinto owed its invention TO the
simple accident of the g%un-barrel of a
sentry becoming rusted with dew.
The swaying to and fro of a chandelier
in a cathedral suggested to Calico the
application of the pendulum.
The art of lthographing was perfect
ed through suggestions made by acct
dent. A poor musician was curious to
know whether music could be etched
upon stone as well as copper, After he
had prepared his slab, his mother asked
him to make a memorandum of such
clothes as she proposed to send away to
be washed, Having no pen, ink or
paper convenient, he wrote the list on
the stone, intending to copy it at leisure.
A few days later, when about to clean
the stone, he wondered what effect
acqua FORTS would have upon it. He
applied the acid, and in a few minutes
saw the writing standing out in relief.
The next step necessary was simply to
ink the stone and take off an impress
sion.
The composition of which printing
rollers are made was discovered by q
Salopian printer. Not being able to
find the pelt-ball, he linked the type with
a piece Of soft glue which had fallen out
of a glue-pot. 1t was such an excellent
substitute that after mixing molasses
with the glue, to give the mass proper
consistency, the old pelt-ball was entire
ly discarded.
The shop of a Dublin tobacconist, by
the name of Lundyfoot. was destroyed
by fire. While he was gazing dolefully
into the s%mouldering ruins, he noticed
that his poorer neighbors were gather
ing the snuff from the canisters. He
tested the snuff for himself, and discov-
cred that the fire had largely improved
its pungency and aroma. 1t was q hint
worth proiiting by. He secured another
shop, built a lot of ovens. subjected the
snuff to a heating process, gavc the
brand a particular name, and in q few
years became rich through an accident
which he at first thought had complete
ly ruined him.

gradually before using the swrr.
or souF milk needed. If soda and
cream of tartar are To be used, the lat
ter should be sifted with the flour (also,
as above stated, when only baking
powder is called fOT). Dissolve soda IN
cool water or milk, never in anything
hot, as heat destroys the best part of it.
Put in the soda after the milk has been
added and well beaten with all the 9TH
er ingredients. If prepared flour is
used, neither soda nor cream of tartar
can be employed. The eurrants. cit
ron or raisins must be well Toured, but
use for this flour measured out for the
cake, else the cake will be too stiff.
Beat up the batter very light before add
ing the fruit, as it should be beaten
gently, and not long, after that is add
ed. The whites, being very stiff, are to
be put in the last thing. After that very
little beating is allowed-only what is
necessary to incorporate the fruit and
whites of eggs thoroughly with all the
other ingredients. When beating the
whites, do not stop, after once having
begun until they are very stiff, else they
will Ego back" and can never be
brought up as light again. In making
raised cake, all fruit must be well rolf
ed in flour for that purpose, and not
added to the cake till just ready to put
into the oven. 1t must not then be beat
en- in, but spread over the top lightly
and pressed in a little way else the
fruit will all sink TO the bottom and be
worthless. Practice and watchfulness
soon teach one to judge correctly when
cake, bread. or pies are done. If ever
SO properly prepared, they will be
heavy if taken from the oven before
thoroughly baked. If obliged to turn
pans round in the oven, move with
great g%entleness and, if possible, never
take cake, bread, or biscuit out of tho
oven to urn it. The air striking it will
injure 1t greatly. If sourmilk or but
termilk is used in making cake, it must
be placed in the oven as soon as put to-
gether, unless, like hard gingerbread
or cookies. it needs to be rolled gu or
nodded. In hat case it is not injured
If it stands some hours.

Progress in Norway.

From recent statistics issued by the
Norwegian Government it appears that
the mercantile marine of that country
is increasing at a remarkable rate.
During 1873 the increase amounted to
50, 500 tons, and at the commencement
of last year the fleet consisted of 7,942
sailing vessels and 3O6 steamers, being
about S8 per cent. of the former and y
per cen of the latter class of vessels.
The proportion of steamers to sailing
vessels in most other countries is much
larger than in Norway. The great bulk
OF the Norwegian sailing vessels are
employed in the American trade, the
export Of produce from the United
States alone during the 1873 producing
in the way of freights "a, 1888, 900
crowns, against %, 900, 900 in 1877, and
IL, 1000, 900 in 1876.

Directions for Cake Making.

lake making is mi of the most diff
cult branches of cooking. Recognize
ing this fact, Mrs. Beecher, in her arti-
Gle in the Bazaar, gives some useful
hints from which the following main
points are taken: For cake, let the flour
dry near the fire while the other ingre-
dients are being collected. Then sift it,
and, if cream Of tartar or baking pow
der is desired, sift that with the flour.
Roll the sugar to avoid Jumps. Eggs
used for cake should DO put into cold
water in summer while the preliminary
work is going on. First beat butter and
sugar together until white and creamy;
then the eggs, whites and yolks beaten
separately always, for the whites require
much longer time to be beaten perfect
