IT IS beginning to dawn-though at q
very late date in the bright light of the
American people-upon that same people
that the license of the press is made most
licentious and unbearable by the illustrated
periodicals of the day. 1t is all well enough
and i'll enough to scathe public men in the
Queens English, and by sentences written
and printed effect the end aimed at and
rest liable, if in the wrong, to libel suits or
pistol wounds; but this thing of carrica-
turing has grown monotonous, as Mark
Twain said when the COW fell on him the
fifth time. No mind of decent instincts
can agree to the perpetration of car
toons of individuals such as flourish in oui
illustrated press, however deep may be the
enmity or opposition entertained toward
the subjcct-material of the same

Losers OF Money.

"Pardon me for troubling you, sir,
but did you drop a twenty-dollar gold
piece?' asked man with an earnest
LOOK on his face and a memorandum
book in his hand of well-dressed indi-
vidual on the corner of Jefferson and
Woodward avenues, Detroit.
The man addressed ran his hand
nervously into various pockets and re-
piled:
"Well, now. l declare! Can it be
dossible that I was so careless as to
drop that coin? Yes, it's gone. I
must have lost it right here, near where
we stand.''
The man opened his memorandum
book, took from his vest pocket the
stub of lead pencil and said:
"Will you favor me with your name
and address,"
They were given, and the questioner
started on, when the we'll dressed man
cried:
Hi, there! Where's the money.
Give me my gold piece 4"
..Oh, l didn't find any money. l
took q notion this morning that in .
CITY like this, where thousands and
thousands of dollars are handled every
hour, there must be great losses, and
started out to investigate the matter.
Between here and the river l found
seven men that lost twenty-dollar gold
pieces. and expect to run the list up
to 200 before l reach the City-hall.
Good day, sir.

Malaria.

Regularity of habit in eating, in
sleeping, in exer else, is essential to
good health; food, nutritious, clean and
well-cooked, is another essential; suita-
BILE clothing and habitation another;
cleanliness another. Boerhave's three
rules for health are ''keep the head cool,
the feet warm and the bowels open.'
The difficulty with most people is that
they want to do exactly as they please.
eat when they have an impulse in that
direction, work when the fit takes them,
wear what they fancy, 60 without sleep,
indulge in all sorts of irregularities and
impulses and yet have good health all
the time. The thing can't be done.
We are under law, and health and hap
piness can be secured only by obedi-
ence to law, only as we learn and obey
law.
If the skin is kept warm. clean and in
healthy condition, one is in little dan
ger of suffering from malaria even in q
malarious locality. The East Indian
kindles a fire in the Jungle or the for
est, and clothed in flannel delies the
malaria. It is the practice of physi.
clans to visit patients sick with infec-
tious diseases after they have eaten q
full meal and when the skin is in a man.
ner insersible, the blood being busy in
the stomach with the process of diges-
ton. For the same reason exposure to
malarious influences should be antici-
pated by suitable preparation as to food
and clothing. 1t is said one never
"takes chill" without first feeling
chilly. AS long as the surface of the
body feels warm and comfortable. there
is little danger that the malarial poison
will be absorbed by the skin. Nothing
is greater protection from malaria
and also from bowel complaints than
flannel. The British army in India wear
flannel the year round, and since this
regulation was introduced the suffering
and death from climatic exposures have
greatly diminished. An open fire in q
maIarious or infectious locality is a
great protection, for dampness precedes
chilliness. In many districts where
chill and fever prevail, coffee is con-
sidered preventive, and one compelled
to exposure to the dews of the morning
or the evening. which are considered
specially unwholesome, is fortified
against them by drinking a cup of
strong Rio coffee that has been boiled
long enough to extract the bitter inyre-
dent of the berry. Rio is preferred to
other varieties as being less ripe and
more efficient in its properties, more =
medicine ana less beverage. Sleep
ing rooms in malarious country should
be on the second or third floor, above
the creeping poisonous mists that cling
to the earth. We shall be glad if those
who can add to what we have given
from our own knowledge and experience
will make further suggestions in reply
to the letter of our correspondence

Red Tape In Australia.

The circumlocution Office has been

they manage things in Victoria The
clock stopped in Magistrates Court,

ment to the Secretary of Public Works,
who communicated with the contract
or, who in his turn wrote to the In
spector of Works. The Inspector writes
a letter back to the Secretary OF Public
Works, who forwarde1t to the Account

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL,

The report of the Treasurer of the
Board of Foreign Missions Of the United
Presbyterian Church shows that the re-
ceipts of the past year from all sources
were 500, 467.97; the expenditures for
the same period were $65. 1864.
Among the many announcements in
regard to the movements of Moody and
Sankey, one of the latest is that in Sep
TENDER they will visit England, and that
they will spend October in Scotland,
principally in Glasgow. 1t is thought
that they may then spend some time in
Germany addressing their audiences
through interpreters, which will be a
very unsatisfactory way. Then they
may 60 as far as to Australia They are
both weary now, and must rest during
the hot months.
I'm Russia hitherto, as, indeed. at
all universities except those of the old
English type, the students have lived in
private houses as each pleased. A
scheme is now taking shape to provide
for them common lodging houses. The
first of these. the gift OF a merchant
named Lepeschkine, was formally
opened at Moscow, on March Sd, the
anniversary of the accession of the late
Gar. At Odessa the municipality has
offered large area of vacant ground
for the same purpose.
The Central Presbyterian Church,
in Buffalo, takes its collections after a
new method. Glass boxes, with small
opening in the top, are fastened to the
back of each pew, and just before the
sermon the pastor quotes Corinthians
xvi, 2, and adds: '.Let us further
worship God by contributing to his
SERVICE" whereupon all over the house
contributions are dropped into the box.
The plan is said to work very success
fully and requires but moment for ac-
complishment. The boxes, of course,
are elnntied after the service

THE President continued to progress IA
vorably on the ed. He was continually
gaining in strength. On the 21st a piece OF
cloth, about one-quarter of an inch square,
came away spontaneously with the pus from
the deeper part of the wound. 1t proved,
on examination, to consist Chi fly of cotton
fibers, with few wooden fibers adhering.
DR.. Reyburn stated that the discharge OF
this piece of cloth indicated that the wound
was drained to the bottom: the wound, he
said, continued to heal nicely. The physi-
clans reported at seven p. m. on the I'D that

looking very well, discharged several
ounces Of healthy pus. A little
solid fragment that hoated out with
the discharge proved to consist of thin
scale OF bone, about one-eighth Of an inch
in length, with a mOrsel of slOughing,
fibrous tissue and a number Of adhering fibers
of cotton and wool. At S:3Oa. m. his pulse

afternoon fever had not abated as early as
usual, and there was slight rise in the pulse

These unfavorable symptoms, however, did
not long continue, and the fever was sub.
