4 SURGEON in the German army calls
the attention Of all who have to do with
horses to the danger of using the pock-
ct handkerchief to wipe away any toam
from the mouth or nose of a horse
which may have been thrown upon
their clothes. Some months ago, the
writer states, an officer came to him
suffering from an obstinate cold and
cough. The usual remedies were pre-
scribed, but in vain 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, ho died with every symptom Of
glanders. Inquiries were set on foot,
and 1t 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 tho groom
nor any of the other soldiers who had
been near the horse have been attacked
by glanders, aud consequently IL 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.

When first introduced tea was not an
universal favorltG. 1t was most Yehc-
mently abused as an immoral, unwholc-
somo 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; and n few
years later a Russian ambassador at the
court of the Mogul declined a large
present OF it Tor the czar, his master,
"as it would only lncumber HIM with
q commodity for which he mad no usc."
The Dutch were wiser men. They cx-
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 suflicicntquantties to meet
the home demand for tea. For a long
time Englishmcn drank sage tea IN
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 tho tisannes Of the
French and Swiss have been in no way
replaced by the more. costly leaf. Mo.
rocco combined tissane with tea, put
ting sugar in the teapot, aud tansy and
mint, the flavor of which would, doubt
less, considerably disguise the tea, rem

n ncD instrument has just been intro.
duced to the medical profession, from
the use Of which we may anticipate re-
suits of great scientific Importance. 1t
Is named the thermograph, and It's 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 he briefly
explained as follows: A coIled spring
is made OF two lamellH Of brass and
steel, the brass forming the outer part
Of the coil. This spring is fixed at tho
centre, but the free end presses gently
against the contents Of q short vulca-
mite tube. AS the temperature of the
apparatus rises the metal coil expands,
and the pressure cXerted by the free
end varies and always corresponds to
the nperature. The vulcani tube
Is fl. with a powder composed of
plumbaSo, gas carbon, and silver, in a
finely divided condition. The electrical
conductivity Of this mixture changes
with tho pressure to which 1t Is sub
jected. Wires from an electric battery
are connected so that the current
passes through the powder, and it will
therefore he understood that with the
rise and fall of the temperature, and
the consequent changes in the pressure
of the coll upon the powder, the inten-
sty 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 a soft iron core l.
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 1t communicates motion
to an index which records its position
continuously upon a moving strip Of
paper. The battery and the recording
part of the instrument are placed in
neat cast iron case. while the coil IS in
closed IN a German silver case about
an inch and quarter in diameter. TO
use the thermograph 1t is only neces-
sary to place the little case in the AK
lila of tho patient, and continuous
record Of the temperature is thus OBJ
tanned, Already the instrument has
revealed minor heat curve character
istic of typhoid fever, and the physi-
clan Is therefore enabled to determine
on diagnosis much 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 bo COVE, ned by it in
the use OF the remedies. The inventor
bulioves that the Instrument will also
prove to be OF great service. in the sci
ence OF fmcteorology,fo for it will Indicate
and record the slightest change in the
temperature of the air, and on account
OF It's low cost, only about 500, il can
be extensively used In the signal SER
