Tea.

When first introduced tea was not an
mently abused as an immoral, unwhole-
some decoction, from whose use the
worst results must be expected to fol-
low. In 1888 a learned German decid-
ed that it was nothing better than black
water with an acrid taste; aud few
years later Russian ambassador at the
court of the Mogul declined a large
present of 1T for the czar, his master.
''as it would only Incumber HIM with
a commodity for which he had no use."
The Dutch were wiser men. They ex-
ported large quantities of dried sage.
which pleased the Chinese so much
that they gave three or four pounds of
tea for each pound of sage, until the
Dutch were unable to provide that
material in sufficient quantities to meet
the home demand for tea. For a long
time Englishmen drank sage tea m
preference to the genuine article; and
to this day the use of sage and other
herb teas is still frequent among the
agricultural poor of some districts In
England; and the tisannes of the
French and Swiss have been in no wav
replaced by the more costly leaf. Mo-
rocco combined tissaEe with tea, put
ting sugar in the teapot, aud tansy and
mint, the flavor of which would, doubt
less, considerably disguise the tea, rem
dering the decoction as unlike that
agreeable beverage, was the liquid
which issued from the classic brown
teapot of Mesdames Camp and Prig, on
the fatal night of their quarrel. Thi5ei
kept clear of the admixture of other
herbs, but had its own peculiar way of
consuming its tea. This was by boiling
the leaf with water, -four, butter and
salt, and devouring the resulting mess
bodily. In China, the common people
add ginger and salt to the beverage.
The word tea, 1t may be remarked,
comes from the Chinese name for the
leaf of the tea plant.

a surgeon in the German army calls
the attention Of all who have to do with
horses to the danger of using the pock-
IT handkerchief to wipe away any foam
from the mouth or nose of horse
which may have been thrown upon
their clothes. Some months ago, the
writer states, an officer came 10 him
suffering from an obstinate cold and
cough. The usual remedies were pre-
scribed, but in vain "a visit to the baths
at Reichenhall also did the patient no
good. Returning to duty, the officer
became worse; fever, attended with
great pain in and swelling of the head,
set in, and ultimately, after much suf-
fering, he died with every symptom of
glanders. Inquiries were set on foot,
and it was found that some time before
he was taken i'll he had ordered horse
which he believed was suffering from
glanders TO be shot. Neither IN groom
nor any of the other soldiers who had
been near the horse have been attacked
by glanders, and consequently 1t is sus-
pected that the officer who died may
have conveyed the disease into his sys.
tenn by perhaps using his handkerchief
TO wipe some of the foam from the
mouth or nose of the horse from his
uniform.

"A Her Instrument mas Just DccH iutio-
duced to the medical profession, from
the use of which we may anticipate re-
suits of great scientific Importance. 1t
is named the tbermograph, and its pur-
pose is to continuously record the
changes Of the temperature OF the body.
The principle upon which it is based is
easily understood, and may be briefly
explained as follows: A cOiled spring
is made Of two lamelle of brass and
steel, the brass forming the outer part
of the coil. This spring is fixed at the
centre, but the free end presses gently
against the contents of short vulca-
mite tube. As the temperature OF the
appar itus rises the metal coil expands,
and the pressure eXerted by the free
end varies and always corresponds TO
the TEN perature. The vulcapite tube
is filled with a powder composed OF
plumbago, gas carbon, and silver, in
finely divided condition. The electrical
conductivity of this mixture changes
with the pressure to which IL is SUBJ
jected. Wires from an electric battery
are connected so that the current
passes through the powder, and it will
therefore be understood that with the
the consequent changes in the pressure
of the coil upon the powder, the inten-
sity of the current will vary. 1t Is now
only necessary TO arrange a means OF
recording these alterations In the cur
rent, and this has been done in very
ingenious manner. A wire helix, OF
special construction, forms part of the
circuit, and into this soft iron core Il
passed, free To move up or down. The
position of the core is governed by the
strength of the current, and as the core
rises and falls it communicates motion
TO an index which records Its position
continuously upon moving strip of
paper. The battery and the recording
part of the instrument are placed In
neat cast iron case. " hile the coil Is in
closed In German silver case about
an inch and quarter IN diameter. To
use the thermograph 1t is only neces-
sary to place the little ease In the AK
lila of the patient, and continuous
record of the temperature Is thus ob-
tanned, Already the instrument has
revealed a minor heat curve character
istic of typhoid fever, and the physi-
clan is therefore enabled to determine
on a diagnosis mucn sooner than would
otherwise be possible. The course OF
the disease is permanently recorded,
the slightest modification or variation
caused by exposure or by the remedies
administered being revealed, and the
effect of the latter can be closely fol-
lowed. Moreover, definite instructions
may be left with the nurse in charge,
who would be directed to watch the
indicator and to be governed by it in
the use OF the remedies. The inventor
believes that the instrument will also
prove TO be OF great service in the Sci
ence of meteorolOgy, for it will indicate
and record the slighLe Change in the
temperature of the air, and ON account
OF its low cost, only about $50, it can
be extensively used In the signal ser

FERTILIZING ORCHARDs.-When an
orchards requires fertilizing, 1t Is best
TO do this all over the ground, and not
to apply manure only near the trees.
This produces large growth OF roots,
close 10 the trees, Tor roofs grow where
The soil is richest, and prevents The
growth at a distance from the tree
Manure tends 10 encourage the growth
OF wood rather than fruit. Instead OF
manure, it is better to cultivate the
soil and leave it fallow, or to seed il 10
clover and plOw iE the clover, giv-Dga
liberal dressing OF lime or wood ashes,
The clover is then plowed under. Or
chards need lime and ashes more than
manure, and these soon produce heal
thy, smooth bark.

BY passing air through fermenting
mash K. c. Hansen has observed that
the number of yeast cells is increased
twice or thrice as much as when no air

twice the quantity is fermented. A
constant supply OF oxygen is therefore,
very favorable to fermentation.
