Our Modern Malady.

The death of Ex-Governor G. G. Wash
burne and General Barnard last Sunday, of
Bright's disease, brings that malady di-
rectly into notice. IL is now one of the ter
rors. 1t has increased remarkably within
twenty-five years, and the number Of known
and noted people who have fallen victims
TO it is very great. It seems to select for
its victims the more finely organized, sensi-
tive, active and educaIi classes. IL is a
malady of civilization, and it is regarded
with the greater dread because it is consid-
cred incurable, at least in its chronic form.
Whether this view is correct or not we are
not prepared TO say but eminent physi-
clans think it is durable, and last week we
called attention TO brochure on the subject
by DR.. Pancoast, of Philadelphia, who takes
this view. The point to which we would
call attention is that the primary cause of
the disease is in the organic nervous sys-
TEN, which controls the nutrition and
growth Of the entire body, and not in par
ticular local arrangement. 1t is only when
precipitated and located that it affects the
kidneys, and all the conditions of the mall
ady may exist in the system for years with
out an acute attack of what is known as
Bright's disease. With the lungs and liver
and glands of the alimentary canal and
skin, the kidneys are the scavengers or puri-
fiers of the blood. They also act as a safety
valve in regulating the quantity of water in
the blood. They, with the lungs and skin,
are the only means through which the sys-
tenn has the power of removing the water
from the blood All these organs and the
heart are more or less impaired in Bright's
disease, and the disease results from dete
rioration of the nervous system, the loss Of
nervovtal energy And this is the reason
why the disease increases so rapidly in our
times, and especially in the large cities
and among sensitive, active, cultivated peo-
pie. We are excessively nervous and grow
more so every generation. The terrible
rush and strain and excitement under which
we live tell directly upon the nervous sys-
tenn. The high pressure of modern life is
terribly exhaustive of nerve force. Before
people are aware of it nervous debility comes
in, and the system drops into condition in
which it is incapable of resisting cold, and
withstanding the strains of over-exertion
and exposure and excitement. Much of our
dyspepsia and insomnia, and even consump-
tion, come from the same cause. And the
ravages of this disease will continue to in
crease until we change our habits and live
in quieter and simpler and more wholesome
ways. To ward off the disease the general
health must be cared for and improved.
Then there must be plenty of nutritious food,
exhilarating exercise, and refreshing sleep.
The incessant, sudden changes of tempera.
ture must be guarded against by proper
clothing. In short, to make ones self well
and strong and to keep so, is the only safe
guard against this and similar maladies
And this is, in fact, the real problem of ouI

Process OF Digestion.

To make the process of digestion simple
let me say that it begins in the mouth and
ends in the lungs. A man swallows
mouthful of bread. We follow it from his
mouth down through the @sophagus to his
stomach. 1t now, by peculiar motion of
the muscles of the stomach, is moved about
in the stomach, and, as it touches here and
there, gastric juice starts out, like sweat
upon the forehead, and vets the bread
After couple of hours of revolving about
within the stomach, the bread is changed
into something that looks like buttermilk
This is chyme. Now, the gate at the right
end of the stomach opens and let's this
chyme pass through the first part of the in
testine. There two new liquids are poured
in, one from the liver, the bile; the other
from the pancreas, the pancreatic juice.
These induce certain changes in the liquid
bread which makes it resemble milk. Now
it is known as chyle. Innumerable little
mouths, which open within the intestine,
suck up this milk or cbyle, carrying it to a
small canal-the thoracic duct, which lies
upon the backbone, and through it runs up
to the upper part of the chest, and is poured
into large vein Just under the left collar
bone. Through the vein it reaches the
right side of the heart, and is then forced
into the lungs, where it comes in contact
with the air. Now a wonderful change
comes over it. This is produced by the ad-
dition of oxygen to the milk-like fluid. For
a given quantity of this chyle still larger
quantity of oxygen is added, and the COM
pound which comes of this union between
the bread and oxygen is the nutriment
which supplies the wants of the system.
What takes place in the lungs is more i'm
portant than anything that precedes it in the
process of digestion. For example, man
may live upon fried salt pork, hot saleratus
biscuit, and strong green tea Il don't know
of worse dose), if he lives in the western
plains and breathes pure air, he will have a
purer blood, a finer, healthier skin, and will
be freer from humors than another man who
lives upon the choicest grains and fruits,
but who constantly breathes the air of a
close, furnace-heated house. In other words,
we may truly say, that in considering the
great function of digestion, the lungs really
play more important part than the stom-
ach itself. 1t is really vital that the first
and the last step in digestion should be well
done, First, chew well, and, last, breathe
we'll. If these two duties are well performed,
substantial contribution will be made to
our welfare.-DiO Letois.

Three Fine Vermont Pears.

We are indebted to our friend j. T. Ma
comber for the following descriptions of
three pears of merit which originated as
seedlings upon the farm of his father They
are worthy of trial all over the state, and
will, we think, prove hardy in any part. We
are testing them ourself, and shall give our
readers the benefit of our experience with
them as it accrues.
GRAND IsLE.-A chance Seeding in the
garden of Benjamin Macomber, Grand Isle,
VT. Tree vigorous, upright, somewhat
spreading with age and bearing; it has
proved quite hardy so far, and bids fair to
be valuable for cold locality; a good and
regular bearer annually, but more abundant
on alternate years. Fruit medium, round
ish oblong, obtuse pyriform skin smooth,
bright straw color, covered with many small
russell dots stalk of medium length, rather
slender, little inclined, set in small cav
ity; calyx small, open; basin small, nearly
smooth flesh whitish, half fine, juicy, melt
ing, sweet, slightly vinous, and of very good
quality. 1t ripens from the last of Septem
ber to the middle of October.

right, little spreading with age and bear
ing, hardy, bears regularly, but never over
bears. Fruit small medium, roundish

Increase Of Small Farms.

Nothing is more gratifying than the fact
ascertained by the last census that the num-
Der of farms in Vermont is increasing by
subdivision. The figures are given thus
Vermont now has 1922 farms, against
33,S27 in 1870 and 3l,556 in 1860, and Of
them 30,760 are occupied by the owners. OF
the farms, 07 are of over 1000 acres, $50
between 500 and 900 acres, 1875 between
100 and 800 acres, and 1922 between 30 and
100 acres" To show the difference in state
controlled mainly by millionaires the fact is
recorded that the great state of California
has no more farms than little Vermont. In
the former state there are 2,531 farms Of over
1000 acres; in Vermont, 97. This last figure is
far too large, however, and exceeds that of 7
other states. The number of tenant farm
ers is not yet large in the eastern states.
The ownership of the soil by the men who
till it prevails most universally in Maine,
where only four per cent of the farms are
rented. In Vermont thirteen per cent are
rented, in New York sixteen per cent. These
figures will be much studied in the future,
if they come to indicate the decadence Of
the class of farm proprietors and occupiers.
One-third Of the farmers of Illinois are
renters,

Young Women Inventors.

The other day patent was recorded to a
young woman of Louisville and another
young woman of Cincinnati, for what was
styled an /" ironing PAN" From the time Of
Adam and Eve, woman-folk (and China
men) have used, when ironing clothes, a
saucer turned bottom side up, an old horse
shoe, an oyster can, or hundred and one
other contrivances to place the hot iron upon
while turning garment, or when wishing
to lay down the iron for moment. When
ironing boards came into use handsome lit
tie stands for the iron soon followed. But,
as many housewife knows to her sorrow,
these ironing boards cannot be disturbed
without upsetting the iron and stand, thereby
endangering, among other things, her toes
and many accidents have thus befalleD chill
dren. These young ladies hit upon the idea
of making an iron pan to be sunk into the
board, and thus kept stationary, being of
such depth as to hold the iron in safety
while the ironer twists the board in what
ever direction desired. Models were made,
and application filed at Washington, result
ing in patent being Immediately issued to
them. The idea of the thing was suggested
by having witnessed several accidents among
the servants. The young ladies are cousins.
Both are known for their beauty and ac-
complishments. They received an offer of
$4,000 for their invention the day after the
patent was obtained. Tho they refused and
concluded an arrangement for the making
the utensil which will give them liberal
profit. 1t is a simple iron mold, one inch
deep, eight inches long and five inches wide
There are fanges running across two sides
so that one simply has to cut hole in the
ironing board, insert the pan and screw II
fast through the flsnges. The bottom is
perforated, so that it may not become over
warm,

The Music of the MosuuitO,

Mr.. Beecher, in his quaint work, Eyes
and Ears" has the following whimsical re-
marks upon the musical gifts of the mos
quito A mosquito has an intense individ-
uality. Other insects there are that love
plunder, that will shed blood TO secure their
ends, that are powerless TO do so at night.
But this only of these Adventures commits
depreciation under the color of Fine Arts.
Other insects, that shall be nameless, make
a business of supplying their hunger with
out refinement, without the accompaniments
of conversation OF any refinement whatever.
1t is mere appetite. But mosquito will
not gorge himself for the sake of eating he
will first offer you song, he will exhibit you
many feats of dexterity; he is a good
gymnast and nimble enough. Your first in
timation of his presence is the finest audible
sounds, and if he had strung a gossamer
upon his violin and was sounding the scale
far up in those tones which end the earthly
scale and Join on the ethereal sounds too
fine for gross mortal ears. II draws nearer.
II is not dull monotone. His swift flight
and q habit of excursion give to his music
the variable and intermitting effects noticed
in an molian harp-now loud, now soft, now
near, and now far distant. IL is this variety,
among other things, that gives such effect
TO his music. Many persons who do not
listen TO common music listen instantly
whenever they hear his. Persons without
any natural musical ear can detect TO a
nicely every note of this airy musician, and
often he sets them TO beating time for him.
Some have supposed the mosquito was of a
devout turn, and never would partake of a
meal without saying grace; but that can
hardly be--so long is the ceremony-unless
he be imagined Puritan, addicted to ex-

What Is Money!

The value Of commodity limits its guam
tity. Anything which can be obtained in
limited quantity, with certain ascertain
able amount Of labor which is divisible, will
serve the purpose of money. Furs have been
employed in some countries as money, cattle
in others-as in the Iliad, in the estima-
tion Of the respective values of the shields Of
Diomedes and Glaucus, the one worth nine
oxen, and the other hundred oxen-bricks
OF tea in Tartary, cowries in Africa, rock
salt in Abyssinia. Other African tribes cal
culate in ndctueS, money of the mind which
has no substance corresponding to it, but
the value contained in which has been sufIi-
ciently ingrained in their minds 10 answer
the purposes of a measure of value. Bull
lion is chosen because it complies with these
two conditions, difficulty of acquisition and
divisibility, better than any known sub
stance. Is it not strange that we should
turn this servant into master and elevate
that which is a mere medium for avoiding
the Inconvenience of barter into an indis-
pensable necessary of life, hardly secondary
to food and clothing2 If by some convul-
sion of nature the precious metals gold and
silver, were utterly destroyed, the world
would be impoverished by the loss of COM
modify on the discovery and manufacture
Of which much labor and time had been
expended, but the only result would be
that we should have recourse to some other
contrivance. The main business of life
would go on as before, and the only differ
ence would probably be that we should be
obliged TO have recourse to paper cur.
rency, based on whatever might be found
after careful consideration, to be the most
convenient or least inconvenient standard
of value. The question would be, as it is
now, a question of remedying the incon
veniences of barter by providing some means
of fixing the prices. That would be all
