Bran Beds for the Babies.

A French doctor has invented new
bed for babies which holds them safe in
Its custody and prevents them from ever
giving any trouble at night to their at
PENDANTS. This gentleman has subjected
his system to the most trying of all tests.
for he has applied it to all his own chill
dren, and considers that the life of one
OF them is entirely owing to its use.
The idea is to fill the greater part of the
| cradle with bran and immerse the legs
;; and part of the body of the child in this
nest, covering them over in the usual
way, but fastening down the counter
pane tight so as to keep him firm in his
place. Why this change of tactics
should have the effect of taking avay
from the infant his usual desire to howl
during part of every night is question
which We will leave nurses to explain for
themselves after they have tried the sys-
tenn. In the meantime, until that trial
has been made, it is only civil to believe
the testimony of Drs. Bourgeois and
Vigoureux, who, in two French papers
OF some authority, declare that such is
the inevitable result. This is not, how
|, ever, the only advantage to be expected
from the system. The bran is supposed
to have warming and stimulating in
huence superior to any sort OF cotton or
cloth, and to allow children of the more
sickly kind to develop more quickly and
be sooner able to use their limbs. Tho
inventor of the system declares that they
delight IL their bran beds, and always
"qult them with regret" when removed,
at the age of = to one of a different
kind. -Lon60n Globe.

Arsenic Eaters.

"Whenever you clap your eyes on a
woman as plump as partridge, with a
milky Wilderness of complexion, puffy
eyelids and swollen skin, you've found a
victim of the habit" said physician to
reporter, in alluding to the growing
use of arsenic among ladies. eff there's
delicate tinge of red on tho cheeks do
not be deceived. Paint, not nature, is
responsible for the bloom, made hideous
and CHASTITY by the corpsey whiteness of
the rest of the face. The arsenic eater
is seldom downcast or respondent, come
what may, for the drug not only affects
the skin but produces mental exhilara-
ton. The plumpness produced by ar
senic is not natural plumpness, but rath-
er dropsical condition of the skin.
Cessation of the habit causes this water
distended skin to collapse, and wrinkles
and sallowness are the inevitable results.
OF course, no woman is willing to SUBJ
NIT to this ordeal when it may be pre-
vented, at the mere sacrifice of health
and intellect, by continuance of the use
of the drug. The inevitable results of
the arsenic habit are hideous and incur
able cutaneous eruptions and loathsome
diseases of the scalp, falling out OF the
hair, dropsy and oftentimes insanity.
But what care the footlight tavorites or
the society belle for those trihing after
inconvenience SO long as they can bor-
row Elusive charms and fictitious beauty
by the use of deadly drug ?"

Contagious Diseases.
lChicago Tribune.1

Contagious and epidemic diseases arc
doubtless to a degree properly attr1buta-
BILE to unfavorable atmospheric condi.
tons. But the resources of modern
civilization enable mankind largely to
encounter these unfavorable atmospher-
&c conditions, and so to defy the pesti-
lence which was once q terror to the
world. These diseases have almost
invariably originated in the east, and,
as they swept westward, their severity
has been m1tigated in the ratio of the
more correct habits of life Of western
people as compared with those of the
east. To a certain extent contagious
and epidemic diseases have moved with
the waves of human migration, 10 the
poor, the restless, and the DISCONTINUED
the west has always presented the allur-
ing appearance OF an Eldorado. And as
they have struggled to reach the prom
ised land they have naturally, through
WEAKNESS of body and perplexity of
mind, encountered or preclpitated upon
themselves all Of the disease provoking
conditions OF which mankind in distress
are heirs. Hence as we are under
obligations to the east for the germs OF
all the practical arts, SO we may reproach
the east a the hot-bed of all the pesti-.
lentlal diseases which have afflicted
mankind. 1t remains for the dwellers
of the west to put period to the spread
Of pestilence which walketh in darkness,
as they are developing the germs of
eastern art into perfected systems. This
darkness in which the pestilence of
ancient times walked can only be dis
PEELED by correct living. More than in
the atmosphere pestilence finds its
origin in filth, and Ignorance, and fear.
As physician lately remarked, the fear
of vaccination is akin to the belief in and
of ghosts. Ghosts are never visible at
MONDAY. They are bred in darkness.
When the darkness OF ignorance shall
have been banished the last ghost will
have made his last appearance on the
stage of human life. And when enlight-
enment shall have compelled universal
cleanliness of the person, the house, and
the street there will be no
more pestilence. Cholera, small
pox, plague, black death, and sweating
sickness will be known only as specters
of the past-that dim, half-revealed past
whence the modern world has derived
its philosophy, its religion, and its moral
ethics, NOT less than its theory of mixed
good and evil IN the matter of political
economy

Habit Of Untruth.

Some men seem to have q consIitu-
tlonal inability to tell the simple truth.
They may not mean to lie, or to tell an
untruth, but they are careless-careless
IN hearing, careless In understanding,
careless III repeating what is said to-
them. These well-meaning bat reckless
people do more mischief .han those who
Intentionally foment strife by deliberate
falsehood. There IS no frebrand like
your well-meanlng busybody, who Is
continually III search OF scandal, and by
sheer habit mlsquotes everybody's state
ments.
This carelessness is q sin OF no small
magnitude. A mans duty to God and
his fellows requires him TO be careful;
Tor what else were brains and common
sense given him? OF course that other
class, the malignant scandal mongers
who take tiendlsh delight i'll promot-
ing strife, who deliberately garbie men'=
words and twist their sentiments, Is In
the minority, and people have very
decided opinion regarding them. Most
men mlsrepresent because they don't
seem to think that care in speaking the
truth is pre-eminent duty.
Iuo tutCtS VI ILLS careless mlSropre-
sentlng OF others are seen everywhere.
Its effect on the individual is to confirm
him in habit OF loose, distorted and
exaggerated statement, until telling the
truth becomes a moral impossibility.
No other thing causes so many dis
senisons III churches, SO many longstand-
ing friendships to be broken, SO much
bitterness in communities, and SO much
evil everywhere. It is an abuse that
calls for the rebuke of every honorable
mana rebuke that should be given not
only in words wherever occasion de-
mands, but by example. The Persians
were said to teach their youth three
things; to ride, to draw the bow, and to
speak the truth. A little more instruc-
ton on this latter head would do no
harm to our advanced civilization"

How Flies Climb.

Herr II. DEWITT has communicated to
the Berlin Society of Natural History
some facts that bear very strongly
against the generally received theory
| that flies adhere to perpendicular walls
and ceilings by virtue of some sucking
power In their feet. He asserts that
the feet of flies can not possess the suck
ing property ascribed to them, for they
are hard and destitute of muscles. The
theory has long been contradicted by
the experiments of Blackwell, who found
that flies could climb the sides of a lar
under the receiver of an air-pump, where
there was no atmospheric pressure; and
who asserted that the power of adher-
ence was due to q sticky matter secreted
from the foot-hairs of flies. This asser-
ton was generally regarded as not
proved, and the case has rested there.
DEWITT reports that his Investigations
have shown that Blackwell was right.
He has watched the emulation of the
sticky matter from the feet of the flies
by fastening one Of the insects to the
under side of plate Of glass and view
ing it under the microscope. Apcrfect-
ly clear liquid was seen to flow from the
ends of the foot-hairs and attach the
foot to the glass. When the foot was
lifted up, to be put down in another
place, the drops of the sticky matter
were perceived to be left on the glass,
in the exact place where the foot-hairs
had rested. The adhesive fluid appears
to pass down through the hollow of the
hair, and to be derived from glands
which Leydig discovered in the folds of
the foot in 1859. A similar adhesive
matter appears to be possessed by bugs,
by many larvae, and probably by all in
sects that climb the stems and the under
sides. of the leaves of plants.

The E:rth's Surface.

Prof. Charles S. Hastings, in recent
lecture at Johns Hopkins University,
gave an outline of the leading theories
IN regard to the physical character of
the earth. Although there are a great
many theories, they may be reduced to
two distinctive ones. According to the
first, the interior of the earth is fluid
covered with thin crust, about thirty
miles or thereabout in thickness. The
advocates of the second theory hold
that the earth IS practically u solid
sphere. Among the reasons given for
sustaining the first theory. the following
are, perhaps, the principal, namely: As
we go down III mines, wells and other
underground caverns, it has been as
certalned that the heat increases in a
ratio of one degree Tor every 100 feet of
descent below the sun s influence. This
theory Is also supported by the occur
ence OF volcanic eruptions and earth
quakes, and the existence of hot springs.
Those who put forth the second theory
also support it by two arguments. They
hold that if the center of the earth were
liquid and the outer surface a solid.
the heavier portion would go to the CEN
ter. Again, the weight of the crust Of
the earth is about two and one-half
times that of water the weight of the
earth is known. From this, it may be
deduced that in order to make up the
entire weight, it must be seven times as
heavy as water at the center. The lect-
urer briefly discussed the two theories,
and said that, if the two theories were
modified, they could be reconciled, and
that this mean would probably be the
true theory. The interior of the earth
is most probably fluid of the consis-
tency of tar.

Milk Tor Typhoid Fever.

Surgeon General Barnes, about three
years ago, heard OF an allopathic physi-
clan in Virginia who, it is alleged, never
failed to cure typhoid fever. AS there
were many patients IN the United States
| army dying with that disease, Gen.
Barnes concluded to visit the ancient
Virginia doctor and learn how he treated
his typhoid patients When ne met the

"What is the mode Of treatment by
