Celery for rheumatism.

In celery there must be some special virtue
if we only knew what it is. Nothing is made
in vain, and the powerful smell and extraor-
dinary taste Of celery are intimations from
nature that it has some special mission MIR
Ward, of Perristown Towers, Ross, writes
that rheumatism becomes impossible if celery
is freely used as an article of diet Unfor-
tunately, he says that cooked celery, for it is
the article in its raw state 10 which we are
all accustomed. Cut the celery" he says
Into inch dice. Boil in water until soft No
water must be poured away unless drunk by
the invalid Then take new milk, slightly
thicken with flour and flavor with nutmeg:
warm with celery in the sauce pan; serve
with diamonds of toasted bread around the
dish, and eat with potatoes" Permit me to
say he adds, that cold or damp never pro-
duces rheumatism but simply developes it.
The acid blood is the primary and the sus-
tanning power of evil. While the blood is
alkaline there can be no rheumatism and
equally no gOut.' And Mr.. Ward proceeds
to say, Let me fearlessly say that rheuma-
tism is impossible on such diet, and yet our
medical men allowed rheumatism to kill in
1876, 3,64O human beings-every case as un-
necessary as dirty face

Why Bows Want 10 be Clerks.

There is IN agitation going forward for the
introduction Of industrial training into our
schools SO far as this is a demand that peO-
pie be taught trades, and that the schools
shall fill up the gap left by the abolition OF
the much-mourned, but little-regretable sys-
TEN of apprenticeship, it is neither wise nor
reasonable. The schools cannot be converted
INTO workshops without destroying all their
present functions and abandoning the main
objects for which the State does or ought to
undertake the education of her people. Get
ting on in life" is an end to which all wise
teaching will contribute; but it is not the
chef end, either Of man or of the school.
And the teaching of a trade is 4 matter which
must either be made the main thing or not
be introduced at all. Indeed, the worst fault
OF the present curriculum is that it spends so
much time in teaching the young the trade
oi an accountant. 1t is to the excessive in
Struchon in commercial arithmetic, and in
me solution OF trade problems, that we owe
the lamentable bent of the graduates towards
clerkships and similar positions. One of the
hrst reforms needed is the teaching of pure
arithmetic, with no application to buying
ana selling, any more than to guaging or
measuring lumber.-Pcna Monthly.

The Insect Population.

In 1916 Alexander Won Humboldt estimat-
ed the number of species of insects preserved
in collections to be between 10000 and 17O,-
600, Europe alone being represented by more
than three times as many species of insects
as of phanerogamOus plants. Ten years ago
DIR. Gerstacker estimated the number of spe-
cies of insects to be 225,OOO, five times as
many as the known species of all the other
classes of animals together. If we assume
that there exists in the whole world only
three times as many insects as there are pha-
nerogamous plants-the latest estimation of
which approaches 225,OOO-we arrive at the
startling sum of about 100000. Bewildering
as this estimate appears it is probably too
low. The oak alone gives shelter and sup
port to $50 species of insects, and the pine to
more than 200, and the moth alone has So
different species of parasites. Without going
farther in calculations it may safely be assert
ed that if the number of species of all other
classes OF animals should be doubled by new
discoveries fwhicl, -is rather improbable for
some classes, and impossible for the -Nerte-
bratesl q the number of species of insects
would be more than five times that of the
other animals taken together sex isal

Multiplication bv Machinery.

Multiplication of numbers by machinery
has at last been accomplished. 1t has been
a longtime puzzle of inventors, and was
solved by Ramon Verea, Spanish resident
of New York, after Pascal and Leibnitz spent
many years in vain attempts to contrive a
machine for mechanical arithmetical calcu-
lation. In 1922 Thomas d. Colmar, a French
mathematician, found way to add and sub
tract by machinery, but could get no further
in mechanical arithmetic. Multiplication
was possible with De Colmars machine by
adding one factor to the other as many times
as it had units, but this was too slow pro-
cess to be practicable. Vereas multiplied
ton machine will multiply nine figures os
less by six or less, by simply as many turns
of a crank as there are figures in the multi
plier, and the accuracy OF its work is proved
by pressing spring. The process is almost
instantaneous, for the ciphering crank may
be turned as rapidly as the hand can move
and never make Il mistake. Division re-
mains to be done to relieve brains from fur
ther duty in arithmetic

What q Doctor Claims.

\ Pennsylvania doctor claims to have dis
covered a certain and sure cure for consump-
tion, in the form of crude petroleum, admin
istered in small quantities. He claims that
out of twenty-five cases of well-marked
tubercloses so treated, twenty are, to all
means of diagnosis, cured; the rest have been
materially benefited, and none have been
under treatment more than four months. The
nausea attending the use Of ordinary crude
petroleum led him to adopt the semi-solid
oil that forms on the tubing of wells. This
made into from three to five-grain pills, by
Incorporating an inert vegetable powder, was
administered from three to five times day
in one pill doses. The first effect, he says,
is the disappearance of the cough; night
sweats are relieved, appetite improves, and
weight is rapidly gained. These favorable
symptoms continue until the patient is en-
tirely recovered. If half the claims put for
ward by this disciple of Esculapius be well
founded, he has indeed made valuable,

Rapldity of Times Flight.

Swiftly glide the years OF our lives. They
follow each other like the waves of the
ocean. Memory calls up the persons we
once knew-the scenes in which we were
once actors. They appear before the MIND
like the phantoms OF night vision. Behold
the boy, rejoicing in the gayety Of his soul
The wheels OF Time cannot move too rapidly
for him. The light OF hope dances in his
eyes; the smile of expectation plays with
his lips. He looks forward to long years o1
JOY to come: his spirit burns within him
when he hears OF great men and mighty
deeds; he longs to mount the hill of ambi-
tion, to tread the path of honor, to hear the
shouts of applause. Look at him again. He
is now in the meridian of life; care has
stamped its wrinkles upon his brow; dis
appointment has dimmed the luster Of his
eye; sorrow has thrown its gloom upon his
countenance. He looks backward upon the
walking dreams of his youth, and sighs for
their futility. Each revolving year seems to
diminish something from his little stock OF
happiness, and discovers that the season OF
youth, when the pulse Of anticipation beats
high, is the only season Of enjoyment. Who
is he of aged locks? His form is bent, and
tOtters; his footsteps moves but rapidly tow
ard the tomb. He looks back upon the past
his days appear to have been few; the nag
niticence of the great is to him vanity; tho
hilarity of youth, folly; he considers how
soon the gloom of Gcath must oveIshadow
the one and disappoint the other. The world
presents little to attract and nothing to de-
light him. A few more years Of infirmity,
inanity and pain must consign him to idiocy
OF the grave, Yet this was the gay, the
generous, the high souled boy who beheld
the ascending path of life strewn with flow
ers without thorn. Such is human life :;
but such cannot be the ultimate destinies of
man.

The Sad Origin of a Cemetery.

There is very sad history connected with
the Green Mount Cemetery of Baltimore.
The property was once owned by John Ollver,
a wealthy English merchant. His only child,
a beautiful girl of twenty, was loved by a
young man whose only unfitness to become
her husband lay in the fact that personal
feud existed between him and the girls stern
father. They met clandestinely and planned !
an elopement The father found it out, ana
gave orders to his servants to patrol the
grounds and shoot all trespassers. Disguised
in mans clothing, the girlnattempted to es-
cape and was shot dead at the gate, ..Gref-
stricken, her father erected mausoieum
upon the spot, and decided the entire pro-
perty to theEcity for acemetery. iT' ''"
