The Gardeners Monthly advises
owners of fruit-trees to remember that
the trees, like grain and vegetable crops,
must nave manure to keep up their fer

If the manure can not be had, fresh
earth from bitches or roadsidcs spread

Women Doctors.

.Whv," said Miss Chapman, of Pitts

members of our profession in our meth
DDS of practice We just prescribe for
people and cure them as they do, +" with
a significant nod toward passing pro
cession, following the result of some
brothers practice. II have been here
over eight years and consider myself
successful. The gentlemen of the pro-
fession conld not be more courteous to

Societies. l have held elective positions
in all of them, which is, think, an in
dication of pretty fair treatment, for a

perhaps not harder than the ordinary
beginners in this and other professions,
but it was discouraging. College and
the dissecting room are the worst feat

at our timidity. Then l heard one of
tuciu uOW UOCOu1lAlS2 eCdAS WCIC
to the profession, and l left them off.
Ladies are not treated well in many in
stitutions whose charters compel their
admission. The faculty take that course
to discourage their attendance, since
many gentlemen will not attend what
they call feminine institution.
.'Any lady with good education and
a mature mind, above feathers and lace,
can succeed in the profession in this
city if she perseveres. I prescribe some
times for gentlemen, but my practice is
largely among the ladies and children.
Half Of my practice is among poor pee
pie who can not pay. Many physicians
send patients to me whom they can nc.
treat from the fact that a proper dag
nosis of the disease can not be obtained.
Woman can understand woman, and il
often does patient more good to talk

Sweat.

The skin is an orange as much as the
lungs. As the latter contain millions
of minute cells. by which their princi-
pal work is done, SO it is with the form
er These cells, in both cases equally,
connect with the external world by
means of tubes through which waste
products are conveyed out of the sys-
tenn.
Most of the organs of the body, be-
sides their own proper work, do more
or less "vicariOus' work; that is, work
belonging to some other organs. So
the sweat-glands, when the system is
specially charged with poisonous mat
ter, or other organs are partially OBJ
'structcd or permanently destroyed, may
carry off more or less of the special
pOisOns accidentally taken into the sys-
tenn. as well as the systems own waste
products. In rare cases, the sweat has
contained blood.
But the chief product of the sweat
glands is water, holding in solution
chloride of sodium, or common salt.
This varies greatly in different persons
and in different circumstances, but Az
erages about two pounds a day. Under
the influence of cold the glands are
much less active; under heat, much
more so.
Thus nature utilizes the sweat to reg
ulate the temperature of the body.
Certain drugs, also, increase the amount,
and thus hasten the elimination of waste
and poisonous products. In this way
colds, and some other feverish condi-
tons, may often be checked.
1t is now known that there are special
nerves that control the action of the
sweat-cells; that sweating is due to the
action of certain nerve-centers; and that
it is on these, primarily, that heat and
sudorifics Sweating drugs act, though
there are some few drugs which act d.
rectly on the glands.
In the same way. certain emotions act
on the nerve-centers, and thus cause
profusd perspiration. So also does

Narraatee Of Farm and Garden Seeds.

We have several inquiries as to the
liability of persons selling farm or gar
den seeds when there is failure to
grow This inject has been aroused
by an article we published q month ago.
There is no doubt about the law, and it
applies rs well to person selling only
4 few bushels rs regular scotsman
If person asks for and obtains from
another person. for Il valuable cOnsid-
grafton, certain designated kind or
quality of seed, and the dealer delivers
t pretending it is the kind or quality
inquired for; and if he represents the
seed to be good and the quality desired
this constitutes a warranty that tn
seeds are sound and of the quality
asked for. And if it should turn out
that the seeds were unsOund and would
not grow so rs to produce the usual
crop, the dealer would be liable to the
farmer or gardener for the damage Oc-
casioned thereby. The damage i'm the
case would not be simply the price of
the seed. but in case the crop was not
the kind represented. or if the seed was
so unsound that a sufficient per cent. of
it did not grow to produce Il crop, the
Ule;tSuIt ol u'tIlldStS Woulu wv t1c uil-
ference in value between the crop
raised, and what it would have been if
the seed had been good, or of the right
kind. If there is an entire failure of the
crop by seed failing to grow, or if the
crop fails to ripen when it was grlaran-
teed to be seed which would ripen in
this latitude, then the measure of the
damage would be the reasonable value
of the crop for that year.
In the State of New York Il dealer
in seeds sold gardener seed which he
represented to be the Early Flat Dutch
Van Wvcklin cabbage seed. but they
wholly failed to produce crop of cab
bage. and the dealer was compelled to
pay the garden farmer the value of
crop of cabbage of the kind men
toned. 50 N. Y. 81.
In another case the seed was repre-
sented as Large Bristol cabbage. But
it WAS shown that while the seed was
raised on the stocks of Bristol cabbage,
yet they were grown in close proximity
to cabbage of other kinds and were
fertilized by the pollen therefrom. so
that the crop raised was, by reason OF
the crossing of the different kinds of
cabbage, a crop of no known variety.
and wholly useless except for fodder
for cattle, and in this case the dealer in
seeds was compelled to pay the dam

JAPANESE FOLK.TALES.

Probably in no country in the world
can there be found such a wealth of
folklore, fairy tales and legends as in
> Japan, and the existence of these crea-
tfons of the fancy is quite in keeping
with that gay, light-hearted character
which has won for the inhabitants the
title, among many others, of "The
French of the East The study of
Japanese fairy tales is especially inter-
csting to us, because in them we are
struck with the very strong resemblance
to our own most popular nursery le-
gends. Cinderella, Jack the Giant
Killer, Valentine and Orson may be
found exactly reproduced by any one
who will take the trouble to examine
the quaint paper-bound volumes which
strcw the mats of every Japanese house
where there are children, and as it has
been proved beyond doubt that the
origin of most of our tales is to be found
in the East. whittier they came together
with our chemical nomenclature and our
system of enumeration, there seems no
cause to laugh at the idea that originally
they may have come from Japan, espe-
cially when we remember that ''west-
ward the course of empire takes its
way"
The stories which follow have been
chosen for their dissimilarity from any
thing in our language. and, although
capable of being appreciated by people
of mature years as well as by children, are
translated from curious old volume
which the writer picked up in by
street of the city of Yeddo, entitled "a
HUNDRED Lessons in Virtue for Youthful
Minds" A literal translation has been
impossible, owing to the innumerable
puns. bubbles and eccentricities which
abound in the original text, but its sig
nificance has been faithfully preserved.
One story is entitled:
INARI's journey.
The great fox-god, lnari, once deter
mined that he would make journey
through the city to find out where true
honesty and goodness existed. 1t was
bad age of crime and corruption.
Civil wars tore the heart of the fair
island; the rich plundered the poor; the
poor could get neither justice nor repa-
ration; mems minds were aflame with
avarice, and the sun shone on as foul a
scene of depravity as it had ever seen
since the days of the fifth great Deluge.
The first place that Inari visited was
the contingencies of one of the great
est merchants of the city of Yeddo. '.At
any rate" he said. II shall find fair
dealing and honesty here, for this mans
iunks iioat on a hundred waters, his word
is as good as bond, and his name is
by-word for uprightness and integrity
He took up his, figure in the shape of
cobweb in a corner of the sample
room. The tide of customers and mer-
chants flowed in and out; the money
ratified into the Golfers; the clerks were
busy with pen and scroll: but no one
saw what Inari saw. His heart smote
him to see the tricks Of trade and the

The practice of keeping night light:

very injurious by DR.. r. H. Blackwell.
Instead of allowing the optic nerves the
