Deaf-mutes have been taught to

1t is stated that NJ. Wanerke has pro-

inexperienced persons to recognize the
different articulations. Such photo

giving instruction to deaf-mutes.
DR.. Bremen in a German journal
advocates exercise in the high, fine air
of the mountains as the best protection
against the diseases contracted in city
life. The characteristics of the noun
tain climate are the low temperature

the strong light and isolation, the
freedom from dust and bacteria. All
these act well on the bodily health.
The lungs work with greater strength,
the heart beats faster, the blood circu-

ed, perspiration becomes freer, the
muscles become more energetic, and
the whole body gains in strength and

A Doctors Opinion,

Cigarette smoking is on theincrease
and yet is comparatively new in the
United States. Fifteen years ago no
American cigarettes were manufac-
tured and few, except Cubans, Span
iards and foreigners generally, used
tobacco in this form"
"Why do not Cubans and Spaniards
get lung disease from smoking cigar
ettes?"
"For one special reason disease is
less frequent among southern smokers
than in this country, and that is the
difference of climate. Here, we are
continually fighting against climate
which, owing to its constant and Sc
we're changes, is peculiarly trying to
the lungs, and if you add another
source of irritation, it's only natural
that so sensitive and delicate struc-
ture should give out sooner or later"
Moderation in cigarette-smoking?"
If a man smokes cigarettes at all, soon
er or later he will smoke almost inces-
sanity and inhale every Whit he draws
and so one can make the general rule
with perfect perfect safety that cigar
ette-smoking is by far the most injurl-
GUS form Of smoking, and that no one
can indulge it to any extent without
falling into dangerous excess; and,
mores the pity, the practice is steadily
the increase"

Clothing Made of Glass.

At Gaudenfrel, Germany, the artist
and glass-spinner, a. Prengal, of Vien-
ma, has established his glass business,
Offering carpets, cuffs, collars, wells,
ETC., made of glass. He not only spins
but also weaves glass before the eyes
of the people. The otherwise brittle
glass he changes into pliable threads,
and uses them for making good, warm
clothing, by introducing certain ingre-
dents, which are his secrets, and there
by changing the entire nature of the
glass. He makes white, curly, glass
muffs; also, ladies' hats Of glass, with
glass feathers, which are lighter than
real feathers. Wool made Of glass, it
is said, cannot be distinguished from

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

The right of commanding is the
fruit of labors, the price of courage.
Man cannot dream himself into a
noble character; he must achieve it by
diligent effort.
If we find no fault ourselves, we
should not take pleasure in observing
those of others.
Those who have no patience of their
own forget what demand they make
on that of others.
There is no evil we cannot either
face or fly from, but the consciousness
of duty disregarded.
More helpful than all wisdom is one
draught of simple human pity that
will not forsake us.
Let friendship creep gently to a
hight; if it rush to it, it may soon
run itself out of breath.
A firm faith is the best divinity; a
good life the best philosophy; a clear
conscience the best law; honesty the
best policy, and temperance the best
physic.
The law Of the harvest is to read
more than you sow. Sow an act and
you reap a habit; SOW a habit and you
reap a character; sow character and
you reap destiny. .-

Cold Feet.

What common complaint this is
says the Family Physician, and yet no
one seems to know anything about it.
You suffer from it for years, and you
don't go to doctor, or if you do, you
derive very little benefit from his ad-
vice. Some people suffer from it at
night only, while others are troubled
with it in the daytime as well. 1t oc-
ours most frequently in women, but
still you often hear men complain of
it. We believe that the best remedy is
hyphosphte of lime in one or two
grain doses twice day. This is soluble
in water, and should lie taken in the
form of mixture, nothing else being
put with it, with the exception, if you
like, of tea-spoonful of syrup, to
make it more palatable, although it is
by no no means disagreeable by itself
Another good remedy is nux vomica-
five drops of the tincture in little
water three or four times day. 1t is
highly recommended, and you may
hope for great things from it. Then
your general health. 1t is probable
that you are below par somehow or
other, although we must admit that
it does not follow of necessity. If you
feel generally out of sorts, and your
appetite is poor, quinine will do you
good. If you are pale and anamic,
you must put your faith in iron.
Cod-liver oil is an excellent remedy for
improving the general nutrition; many

1t is now generally admitted that
rotation of crops is rendered necessary
not as formerly supposed because the
soil becomes exhausted of some neces-
sary element, or because unwholesome
for that particular plant, owing opois-
onous eXcreta left by the roots, but
because insects and diseases accompa-
ny the plant which are special to it,
the eggs or spores of which are left in
the soil to attack the same crop in the
next following year with hundredfold
increase Of numbers and power. Pro
fessor Bessy, of the Iowa Agricultural
College, shows how this is the case
with smut, which grows up through all
the interior of wheat plant and final
ly develops its spores within the bran
casing of the grain, filling it not with
-four, but with innumerable black,
sinking seeds of the parasite which
when set free, float out and stick fast
to sound grains of wheat and also to
particles of the soil, where they lie ready
to enter into the circulation of the next
years growth of wheat plants, unless
killed by stepping the polluted seed in
blue vitriol solution and drying off
with lime. AS to the polluted soil it
is purified from the contamination on
ly by using it for some other crop on
which the smut plant cannot take hold.

The first few years of the life Of an
apple tree is the most important Pc
Rod for exercising care and diligence
in regard to pruning. A well-known
pomologist once said that he could
grow a model apple orchard and never
prune with any other implement than
jack-knife He would begin with
the tree as soon as 1t was taken from
the nursery, and would at once begin
to form the future top. Then is the
time to avoid crotches which will be
almost sure to split in after years, and
to begin at the top at the right hight
and in the proper shape. One is apt
to begin the top too low; il looks high
er on a small tree than on large one.
1t may not be desirable for the general
grower to undertake to do all his prun-
ing by means of a knife but he can al
ways use it to good advantage. En-
cessive pruning of large trees should
always be avoided.
