A story is told of Camille Brooks bank.
When there was an impetuous and un.

obtained number OF sacks Of meal,
opened them at the top, put good

then placed them united where the gilt

around again 10 back door and refunded

chief cashier himself examined every
note with the most searching scrutiny,
holding it up TO the light, testing tho
signature and making believe that, on
account OF alarm "a TO forgery, there
was need Of the mos. scruDulous care.
When he had completed his pretended
examination he handed the note to one
of his subortlinates very deliberately,

DEOAYlSG LEAVES.

We very naturally admire growing
leaves, and cannot help feeling OF sad
ness when they wither and fall. A casual
look at the fallen leaves gives MS the
idea that their work is done, and that
therefore He who has wonderfully
created them permitted them to decay.
But those who give more than a passing
look find that, though their ornamental
life is over. their useful life is bnt be-
ginning. You pause, perhaps, and for a
moment wonder how dead leaves are
utilized bu, so many varieties are used
that it would be impossible TO name them
oil, so We will only refer to the most
common. OF these it is only fair 10
state that many OF them Ae not allowed
to wither on the tree, the reason being
10 preserve larger amount OF the es-
sence Of the leaf For example, the
leaves of the tea plant are allowed TO
grow TO q certain stage, and are then
gathered and dried quickly in the sun.
OF course, every one knows that the
death OF leaf is usually caused by the
drying up OF the sap, on which 1t de-
ponds for nourisbment; 20 that by
forcing the leaves TO die more quickly
than they naturally would. moro of the
taste or essence OF TIE leaf is retained.
And so dead tea leaves are OF use to
provide DR.. Johnson's favorite beverage,
"tea." OF course, there are many diff
ferent kinds OF tea, but they are not
under our consideration sufficient is
il il you consider that that most common
of all commodities is simply dead leaves.
Next, let us take tobacco, Us being an
article in common use. This plant is a
native OF America, and is supposed &c
have been first brought to England by
Sir Walter Raleigh, who taught his conn
tr,men to smoke it. The leaves only
are used. and great care is taken in its
cultivation to bring these to perfection,
and the drying and preparing fer use is
long and difficult process; but 40 one
looking at cigar or the usual tobacco
can for q moment Goubt its being any
thing but dead leaves.
1t would be long and difficult task
10 name all the dead leaves which are
used by herbalists and doctors; but
many OF the more simple kinds of the
class of leaves known 80 herbs are OF
great use in cookery, such as thyme
mint, sage. etc.
Having mentioned these individual
leaves, You will probably say these are
very few /; not hlsadreth part of the
leaves there are, and granting them to
be hundreth part, what becomes OF
the ninety.nine kinds left ? Many leaves
are allowed to drop off tho trees and
decay to a certain extent, and are then
used for manure to enrich the ground,
that it may bring forth more leaves,
which all ia their turn will also decay.
Then, again, it is an acknowledged fact
that the decayed vegetation Of centuries
in fact, whole forests which have died
and been replaced-go to form large
proportion of our coal.

TO KEEP YOUR HEALTH.

An experienced physician gives the
following hints: Two good hearty meals
ia the day are sufficient for bealth-one
before going to work and the other
after work is over, that is, breakfast
and supper, OF what is the seme, late
dinner. Some lunch is needed between
these meals, but this should be light.
A heavy II cal in the middle Of the day
may suit children. but il hard work has
TO be resumed, it interferes with the
work, and the work with digestion.
Hot, heavy suppers taken shortly before
going 10 bed prevent refreshing sleep,
and are among the most frequent causes
Of attacks Of indigestion. At the same
time an empty stomach is to he avoided
a few biscuits, or something equally
light, is all that is required. Variety
OF diet is OF importance TO health the
stomach gets weary Of repetition of
the same every day. Hurry at meals lie
to be avoided-eat slowly ard chew
we'll. Bodily toll and manual labor
can be best supported by vegetable
diet, as bread, porr dge, etc. with the
addition OF milk, eggs, butter and
cheese meat is much inferior to these
as q sapplier OF strength. But 1t is
very differeu. with mental labor here

Ihs Nest Curious Organ in Europe

The most curious organ in Europe Is
tho great one at Weingar.en, neal
Switzerland. It was built by monk,
the celebrated Able Volger, who was al
organ player as well as priest. 1t has
6, 666 pipes, large and small. He was
evidently not unmindiul Of earthly
things, for the sly old dominic filed the
organ full OF very small pipes called
mixtures. Ordinary organs have fren
five to eight ranks, or rows OF mixtures
THE one has over 100. Ono wonid nat
urally suppose That TIE tone OF the or
gan would coHst q1ently be very shrill.
This vas NOT the case, however. I'll.
priest was musical enough to have them
ell voiced so deIicately that the effect,
although it cannot be called legitimate,
WAS altogether charming. IL was as II
the air was full Of snowfakes of sound
Beside this feature, The organ has
drums, bells, great and small, angel:
with drums, and all sort Of qaeer things,
and its case is ornamented aud colored
in the most brilliant manner possible,

nd he also found the microbe already

md he also found the microbe already
mentioned in the saliva OF persons in .
normal state OF health, result con.
frmed by Vulpian, though Che expert
ments OF the latter investigator did not
give constant showing. The saliva OF
o healthy person, Vulpian found, would
frequently kill rabbits il injected into
their blood. Gautier's experiments
with human saliva indicated that the
difference between it and the poison OF
serpents, as the cobra, wss one OF in.
tensity OF effect rather than of essential
nature. The whole group Of analogies
thus revealed has furnished material for
important investigation. Thus IL has
to be ascertained what would be the re-
suit OF inoculating animals with the
saliva Of healthy dogs, and in view OF
Pasteur's CONCLUSIVE showing that an
innocuous germ, if cultivated success
sively in the bodies Of different animals,
acquires increased virulence and ulti'
mately becomes capable OF killing the
most robust, il may he found that the
peculiar m:crobe O. saliva is cultivated
and developed into the virulent germ OF
rabies. Cornevin, Thomas aad other
observers, experimenting to discover
the real nature OF anthrax, have estab-
lished tho fact that virus which Is
mortal when communicated through the
tissues will, if injected into the veins.
coat as vaccine against subsequently,
culation through The tissues. a curious
analogy exists between this action and
that resulting from the injection OF
permasanato OF potash into the veins in
cases OF poisoning fcom snake bite, in
tho experiments conducted last year IN
France and Brazil, and it is suggested
that possibly such treatment might
prove ei,icacious in regard to rabies.
On the whole, despite the contradic-
tions, difficulties and imperfect results
attending On ADMINISTRATION thus far,
there are so many observers at work On
each branch Of the subject that impor-
tant discoveries may fairly be expected
within the next few months, and it is
not among the improbabilities that
cure may be fouEd Iv. nydrophobia, or
preventive in the way OF vaccination
be devised.
