The Removal Of Scars and Cicatrices.


: The cicatrices, scars or marks left by
various diseases, burns, or wounds of
divers kinds, are often less obstinately
permanent than is generally supposed,
and from some facts which have lately
come under our notice. we are inclined
to think that their prevention or re-
moval in many cases may be accom-
plished by some mild but effectual an
tiseptic.
Among the exemplifcations OF the
efficacy Of the formula we are enabled
to lay before our readers, is the case Of
q gentleman Of our acquaintance, whose
face was SO severely burnt by the vio-
lent squirting Of quantity OF melted
lead lowing to workman having in
cautiously dropped wet pipe into it),
that his eyes were only saved by pebble
spectacles from utter destruction.
At first, of course, carron oil was the
sole application, and as for weeks after
wards PARTICLES Of the granulated metal
had literally to be dug out Of the flesh,
deeply-scarred . ,ntenance was
naturally predicted by all, except the
patient himself. One mark OF an al
most imperceptible character alone re-
NAMED after the expiration Of six
months, owing, as our friend says, to
the whole face being bathed twice or
three times day, as soon as the oil
treatment could be discontinued, with
a lotion of the simplest character, as is
readily seen by glancing at its con-
stituents
Lint soaked in the same solution and
allowed to remain on some little time
will frequently mitigate the visible re-
suits Of smallpox, and we have known
one case of ringworm treated in this
way TO leave no scar whatever, while .
sister Of the latter patient, who had had
the same disease in 4 lesser degree, but
had not employed this lotion, still re-
tains the evidences Of the fact.

American Nerves.

Men prematurely bald, old, unable
to carry their liquor" and anxious
beyond their iace years, are getting
conspicuously common in America.
The slow sententious Yankee of the
stage is becoming rare in the cities,
and the cool individual who offers
the suspicious stranger cigar-light
stuck in the muzzle of revolver is
happily confined to Deadwood Creek
or Gouge Eye Gulch. The women are
more lovely than ever. Their faces are
the faces of gangels chiseled in marble;
but the pallor is unhealthy, and the
liveliness of the American girl is, to a
great extent, incipient disease. 1t is.
like their beauty, part of that nervous
ness which is affecting their race. Their
minds are untroubled by the cares of
housekeeping, for most Of them live in
hotels or in boarding houses. In Europe
they contract dazzling marriages. But
they soon fade; and while the English
matron, and even her sister of Canada,
who leads much the same kind of life,
is still in her prime, the once beautiful
American is often lean hysterical
haunter of health resorts. The future
is not pleasant prospect. As men of
leisure depart from tie busy multitude,
it is difficult to see what they are to do
with their money. There is a limit to
the number of greenbacks which people
can spend on house, and even mod
est fortune is cumbersome to carry
about in diamonds and watch chains.
They can, of course, always go to Paris;
but Tuileries American, as this hy-
brid Gaul used to be called in Napo-
leonic days, ceases to be an American,
while, if he STAYS at home, it is hard to
see how the rich average republican is
to spend his mouey in any other way
than that which has produced,
and is producing, the nervousness
of his race. Competitive exam
nations, which will, in time
add their worry to the endless voting
and electing of the present time. are
calculated to intensity the trouble.
But for long the evil will not be much
noticed. The country will be fertilized
by continuous stream of fresh-faced,
sinple-lived emigrants from fused up
Europe These will mingle with the
humber natives, and, since the true
born Yankee of New England and the
ssfust family" Americans Of the South
are notorious for the fewness of their
children, will keep up the population
of the United States. Meantime, the
learned folks, without the fear of
patriotic papers before their eyes, will
affirm that the European is not natur-
allied in the New World. At best he
is nervous edition Of the gallant from
whence he sprang, and were it not for
the new blood that is ever recruiting
his jaded life, would dwindle away and
become extinct.-London World.

Bananas and P-..lalns.

4 pound of bananas contains more
nutriment than three pounds of meat or
many pounds of potatoes, while as a
food it is in every sense of the word
superior to the best wheaton bread.
Although it grows spontaneously
throughout the tropics, when cultivated
its yield isvprodigious; for an acre Of
ground planted with bananas will re-
turn, according to Humboldt, as much
food material as thirty. three acres
of wheat, or over hundred acres Of
potatoes. The banana, then, is the
bread Of millions who could not
well subsist without it. In Bra
zil it is the principal food of the labor
ing classes, while it is no less priced IN
the island of Cuba. Indeed, in the lat
ter country the sugar planters grow
orchards of it expressly for the con-
sumption Of their slaves. Every day
each hand receives his rations Of salt
fish or dried beef, as the casa may be,
and four bananas and two plantains.
The banana-it should be called plan
tain, for until lately there was no such
word as bananas divided into several
varieties, all of which are used for
food. The platino manzinio" is q
small, delicate fruit. neither
longer nor stouter than q lady's
forefnger. It is the most delicious
and priced Of all the varieties of the
p1antain. GEL Platino gwineo, !" called by
us the banana, is probably in demand
more than any other kind, It is sub
divided into different varieties, the
principal Of which are the yellow and
purple bananas we see for sale in our
markets /; but the latter is SO little
esteemed by the natives Of the tropics
that it is seldom eaten by them. ssEl
platino grande" known to us as simply
the plantain- lis also sub-diyided into
varieties which are known by their SAVIOR
and their size. The kind that reaches
our markets is nearly ten inches long,
yet on the Isthmus of Darien there are
pIantains that grow from eighteen to
twenty-five inches. They are never
eaten raw, but are either boiled Or
roasted or are prepared IS preserves.
