Exercise and Malaria.

DR.. Pinkham writes in the SanRdrian
regarding the tendency nowadays to
assign malarial poison as cause for all
kinds of physical disturbances. '.This
fashion, as it may now be called, of as.
signing malarial poison as cause for all
kinds of physical disturbance, came
about, l think, somewhat in this way:
Quinine became recognized as specific
for malaria when to this agency were
referred only the periodic fevers. These
feyers, intermittent and remittent, were
found to leave behind, after the fever
proper had taken its departure, certain
morbid conditions, especially of the liver
and spleen, which conditions produced
variety of obscure symptoms, all of which
were helped by the same remedy which
cured the fever, and, being given for
these obscure troubles, it was soon given
for all obscure troubles resembling them,
and it was found to be of service in all;
hence, reasoning from effect to cause, it
was inferred that all were of malarial
origin. A person eats heartily and exer-
cises little; he soon finds himself ill; he
has headache, pain in his side, languor
and variety of uncomfortable sensations.
Quinine is a tonic, and aids digestion;
he takes it, and is better. What more
natural conclusion than that his symp-
toms are due to malaria, being relieved
as they are by the great anti-malarial
remedy? Thus quinine became, as it is
to-day, an Ingredient of nearly all pre-
scriptions-the great cure-alL 1t also
became great aid in diagnosis, and in
many cases settled the question, con-
vincing the prepossessed patient and the
wagering physician that malaria was
the great bottom fact in the case in hand.
Now, l believe more than half the all
ments which are in this off-hand way
ascribed to malaria are due to some
thing else, and largely to lack of phys
ical exercise. There are other causes of
diseases which we do not overlook
overeating and drinking and smoking,
improper clothing and exposure to cold
and heat, worry and care, idleness
and overwork, over-excitement and
all kinds of excess, work destruc-
ton, as they did before malaria was in
vented. Lack of exercise produces de-
rangements of the liver. spleen, nerves,
brain and every organ in the body. II
produces multitude of symptoms sim
liar to those produced by malaria. Let
exercise be supplied and the occasion
for quinine in these cases will no longer
exist.

MOss.Gathering.

Along the great sandy beaches of the
New England coast at the present time.
especially on the more northern por-
tons, may be seen numbers of persons
engaged in gathering or ''accumulating"
moss-or sea weed-to be used, as we are
informed, in the production of '.blue
monge'' in the neighboring towns and
cities. After an easterly gale the beaches
are lined with various plants or their
equivalents of the sea, all of more or lees
value to the fisherman and the seaside
farmer. Along York beach l have seen
the Carrageen or Chondrus moss, used

forms an important industry, giving en-
ployment to hundreds of persons who

Even the kelps that come ashore on the
Maine beaches are utilized on the farms
and valued for their nutritive properties.

weed is much more in demand, however,
as the fishermen are, as class, extremely
poor, while those of the New England
States are the backbone and sinew of the
land, and as a class well-to-do. The
Scotch make much of their dulse. a red

women and children collecting it, and

Healthy animals will eat more food
in cold than in warm weather. When
the cool nights of autumn come the
skillful feeder profits by this fact by
giving an extra allowance of food to his
stock. He is abundantly rewarded by
hearing the grunts arising from that
comfortable pain which comes of

mails thrive even though the grass has
lost its tempting succulence. Cattle.

An Interesting Story.

An interesting story of shipwreck and
adventure has recently appeared in the
London newspapers. It appears that
the barque Roseneath foundered last
May in the Straits of Magellan. The
captain, his wife and seven of the crew
were picked up by passing vessel.
Another boat containing five of the men
was supposed to be lost. The first Of
ficer, named Samson, now turns up with
story of exciting adventure. He re-
counts in his deposition that the day af-
ter leaving the ship they sighted the
shore near Cape Horn. Here they were
overtaken by savages who boarded their
boat. Samson tried to conciliate his
captors with biscuits and tobacco. They
seemed friendly at first, but afterward
massacred al the sailors except himself
with hatchets. They then landed on one
of the Terra del Fuego islands (which
abounds with rats about the size of En-
gfish cats.' Whether the cats on the
island were of proportionate size is not
stated. They lived OH shell-fish and an
occasional seal. At night they all slept
in a wigwam, '.men. women, children
and dogs" The Indians were addicted
to smoking, which produced results SINH
lar to those we'll to small boys who
begin the habit with strong cigars. Sam
son suggests that he was saved, as two
other men that he met among the savages
were, in order to get q reward from
passing steamers. The reason given is
hardly satisfactory. In all probability
the savages had at the time no cold mis-
sionary in the pantry, and thought that
with little fattening he would make a
choice dish, either roast or corned. Ul-
timately he escaped with some other
Indians who encamped on the same
shore, and was rescued by the Pacific
liner Aconcagua, which conveyed him to
Valparaiso. whence he reached England.
The tribe of Indians by whom he was
rescued belonged to the Patagonian
shore. Steamers of the North Pacific
line are in the habit of stopping to con-
ciliate the tribe with food and tobacco,
so as to induce them to save the lives of
any poor fellows who may be wrecked.
He thus accounts for being brought off
to the vessel and adds that the occa-
sional treachery of the Indians results
from the i'll treatment they have had to
put up with at the hands of the whites

pay department, and at length satisfied
myself that the $4,000. 900 carried by
the Hussar had been landed and duly
distributed to the paymasters. Whether

scheme of raising the Hussar. l laughed

1t is still assumed at Washington that
the President will shortly nominate a
successor to Secretary KnkwoOd. and it
has been stated with some confidence
that Senator Teller, Of Colorado, had
been selected for the place. But that
choice seems to be contingent On the
readiness o. Governor Pitkin, Of that
State, to appoint Mr.. Chaffee TO the seat
which Senator Teller would vacate-a
condition precedent which is still in
doubt. Mr.. Teller's unwillingness to
relinquish certain lucrative engagements
as attorney for the Union Pacific and
other railroad. companies is also quoted
as an obstacle to his translation to the
Interior Department.
The New York Tines seems to think
that the fact Of Teller's connection with
these corporations should have some
weight as an argument against his being
offered the position at all. He is prOba
