TOBACCO INJURIOUS.

The Christian Union gives this
interesting statement "The British
Medical Journal says that certain
doctor noticing that very large
number of boys under fifteen years
of age were tobacco users, was led
to inquire into the effect the habit
had upon their general health. he
took for bis pOrpOss thirty~eight
boys. aged from nine to fifteen, aud
carefully examined them. 10 twen~
ty-seven of them he observed injuri-
GUS traces of the habit In twenty
two there were various disorders OF
circulation, digestion, palpitstion OF
the heart, and q more or less mark
cd taste for strong drink. In twelve
there was frequent bleeding at the
nose ten had disturbed sleep
twelve bad slight alteration OF the
mucuocs membrane of the mouth,
which disappeared on cessiDg from
the use of tobacco for some days
The doctor treated them all for
weakness, but with little effect uotil
the smoking was discontinued, when
health and strength we're soon re
stored. Scientific investigation shows
also that the use of tobacco by boys
is decided injurious to the brain and
mind. 10 1862 the Napoleon
learning that paralysis had increased
with the increase of the tobacco rev.
enue, ordered en- examination of the
schools and colleges, and finding
that the average standing in both
scholarship and character was lover
among those who used the weed than
among the abstaiuers, issued an
edict forbiddiDg its use in ell the ma
tional institutions"

TO PREVENT sUNsTRoKE.

DIR. Edward G. Mann, of New

the prevention OF sunslroke: To
avoid sunstroke, exercise 10 excess
lively hot weather should be very

and loose, and abundance Of cold
water should be drank. Workmen
and soldiers should understand that
as snon as they cease to perspire

stroke, and they should Immediately
drink water freely and copiously, to
avoid matter for cntaneous transpira.
ton, and also keep the skin and clO-
thing wet with water. Impending
sunstroke may often be warded off
by these simple measures. Besides
the cessation of perspiration, the pu-
pills of the eyes are apt to be cons
tracted, and there is a great frequen>
cy of micturition If there is mark
ed exhaustation with weak pulse,
resulting from cold water applica>
ton, we should administer stimu>
lants. The free use of water, lhowev
err both externally and internally, by
those exposed to the direct rays of
the sun, is the best propbylactic
against sunstrokes, and laborers or
soldiers, and others who adopt this
measure, washing their hands and
faces as we'll as drinking copiously
of water every time they come with
in reach of it, will generally enjoy
pefect immunity from sunstroke.
Straw hatsishould be worn, ventila>
ted at the top, and the crown of the
hat filled with green leaves or wet
sponge. 1t lie better to wear thin
flannel shirts, in order not to check
psrspiration, We may expose our
selves for long time in the hot sun
and work or sleep 10 heated room,
aud enjoy perfect immunity from
sunstroke If we keep our skin and
clothing wet with water.

HIGHER crvILIz ALTON IN CHI
CAGO.

1t is evident that the divorce prac-
tice on the Chicago courts requires
stricter attention from the Judges
than has been given il for some time
past. The Taylor case shows how
easy, informal and reckless the prsc~
tice of granting divorces has become.
One William A. Taylor was able to
obtain divorce from his wife, both
living in Chicago, without her
knowledge. The husband seems to
have had no grounds for divorce,
and yet was able 10 procure one SO
expeditiously aud quietly that the
frat intimation the wife had of the
fact was the notice of the marriage
of her husband to another woman,
she continuing 10 live with him for
months after he bad procured the
unknown divorce. If there were no
other evidence ofthe baseness Of the
divorce practice than the bold state.
ment of this one case there would
be sufficient warning 'of the neces-
sity for reform. In the Taylor csse
it seems that an appearance was en-
tered for the wife by an attorney
named Kinney. The answer filed
and Immediately Withdrawn, and
thereafter the proceedings progress
ed smoothly and secretly until the
decree was granted, Mr.. Kinney ex
plains that man called at his Office
with written authority for him to
appear as Mrs, Taylor's attorneys;
that be declined to act upon such
document alone, not knowing that
the signature was genuine; tn At the
next day woman appeared, who
ted herself as Mrs. Taylor,
and expressed desire to have the
matter disposed of as quickly and
quietly as possible, and that there
upon he accepted the fee, entered
sn apperace, filled an answer, then
imediately withdrew it under in
structions, and thus permit ed the
case to proceed without further obs
stacle to fraudulent decree.

The Insect Population.

In 1910, Alexander Won Humboldt csti.
mated the number Of species of insects
preserved in collections, at between l5O,.
600 and 10000; Europe alone being rep-
resented by more than three times as MANY
species of insects as of phanerogamous
plants. Ten years ago DIR. Gersackcr
estimated the number of species of insects
to be 225,000, five times as many as the
known species of all other classes Of AMI
mails together. If we assume that there
exists i'll the whole world only three times
as many insects as there are phaneropa--
nous plants-thc latest estimation of which
approaches 225, 000--we arrive at thc
startling sum of about 7bO, 900. Bewil.
dering as this estimate appears it is pr,ba-
bly, TOO low. The oak alone gives shelter
and support to $50 species of insects, and
the pine to more than 500, and one moth
alone has 30 different species of parasites,
Wit.out going further In our calculations
we may safely assert that if the number Of
spccl1s of all other classes of animals
should be doubled by new discoveries,
(Which is rather probable for some classes
ana impossible for the vcrtebrates), tho
number of species Of insects would be
more than five times that of all other am.
mails taken together.
