BY AN ENGLISH PHYSICIAN.

This painful malady was formerly
considered to be entirely the result
of age, cold or exposure, but medical
science has now demonstrated that
it is a disease in the blood, which
may be inherited in so dangerous a
form as to cause death in youth or
middle age, and even in infancy.
That the enemy courses through the
veins, mixed in life fluid, in a liquid
form for certain length of time !;
that 1t gradually, through a variety
Of causes, becomes partially sOlidi-
fed into a sort of clayey substance.
This accommodating in the joints of
the fingers. toes and limbs, becomes
an obstruction to the circulation, and
in time stiffens the joints, causing
in many instances great pain and
suffering. 1t also materially affects
the healthy action of the vital Or
gans, interfering with the heart, the
stomach and the kidneys. y rem

remove rheumatism. Patients who
use various oils, lotions and lini-

this disease. But no one has yet

,ed as to cause complete prostra-
ton. This valuable family medi- |

Too Many Doctors.

Witness the large number of doctors
in every city struggling for mere exist
ence, and see how very few out of the
whole number really do the work See
how in almost every country village a
good practice for two or three men is
piecemealed by sharp and often acri-
monious competition, to the detriment
of all. 1t would seem that in callingso
high, so noble, so sacred, men fit for
such ministry should be sought for; but
the great question of the young graduate
is not, "Who wants me2n but
"Who will employ me?" not "Who
needs me ~ but ''Where can | get liv-
ing n In the case of four physicians
dying, each in country village, during
the last year, l am credibly informed
that in one instance two, in another
three. in the third five, and in the fourth
case seven new men came to look the
field over within ten days after the doc
tors death, sometimes before the burial.
In one case ten attended the funeral, and
in another the widow had three letters
from aspirants for the vacant place while
the body of her husband still lay in the
house.
1t is a hackneyed saying, with which
too many ears are tickled, that " there is
always room for good men," Applied
to the present condition of our profession,
it is false. Were only good men and the
best men admitted, it would undoubtedly
be true. But all over the land, in city
and country, are well-educated, culti-
waited gentlemen, honest and loyal, striv-
ing in vain to secure Il competence-yes,
bare living even-and too often is dis
appointment mingled with shame
and modification at the success
of ignorant and unprincipled rivals.
l have said that the evil
results of the excess in numbers are mani
fold. 1t leads to over-practice and to
bad practice The man who is hard
pushed, who has few patients and needs
more, is tempted to make much of little,
TO magnify the importance of his cases,
both in his own mind and to his patrons;
to make uncalled-for visits, and to give
too much medicine; an unnecessary medi-
cation ceases te be rational. Patients are
injured in mind and body. The com
munity is injured by teaching the people
TO attach undue importance to trivial
diseases, and to Overestimate the value
of treatment therein. Legitimate, honest
practice suffers in reputation; money is
obtained under false pretences. Nee

The Butter Tree.

The Karite, or butter tree, IS VeI,
common in the valleys of the Upper
Senegal and Upper Niger. 1t is Il fine
tree, with long and oval leaves, slightly
curled. The fruit is agreeable and pleas
ant to the taste, and within it is nut
about the size of hickory nut, with a
firm white kernel
The fruit is gathered from the end of
May to the close of September The
women and children go into the woods
every day, and especially after storms and
high winds, and bring in baskets and
gourds full of the fruit shaken down
from the trees. These are thrown into
cylindrical lholes which are seen every
where in Bambarra villages, even in
the streets. Here the fruit is left
for several months, sometimes all
winter, until the outer fruit dis
appears. Then the nuts are thrown
into vertical ovens made in the earth
inside the huts and are dried by fire.
When well dried. the shells are cracked
and the kernels pounded into a paste.
This is placed in jar of cold water and
beaten till the butter forms on the surface
of the water This is skinned off and
beaten again to make it compact and eX-
pei the water. 1t is then done up in
packets of leaves
With the elementary means employed
by the negroes, this butter-making is IA
long and tedious process, and is generally
done in the dry season. Karite butter is
constantly used by the Bambarras and
Malenkes of the Niger for cooking, for
feeding their rude lamps, in soap-making,
for the women's hair, for dressing wounds,
etc The Djulas export small quantities
toward the south.
Commandant Gallieni, French officer,
draws attention to its possible value for
the manufacture of soap and tapers, as
the tree is found in immense quantities,
and, with machinery, the butter could be
readily obtained

Chinese Dances.

IL a San Francisco letter the writer
says: Through the kindness of Colonel
Bee, American secretary of the Chinese
consulate at San Francisco, we were per
mitted to meet Mrs. Ching Ling, wife of
the Chinese vice consul of New York,
and several ladies of the higher and most
exclusive circles of Chinatown. Mrs.
Ching Ling we found to be a tall, slender
and rather stately dame, who trotted into
her parlor on feet not quite three inches
long Her hair was dressed in most
elaborate manner, decorated with jade
and gold ornaments and bunch of pink
chrysanthemums Her eyebrows were
shaved to their arching lines on her fore
head, and the brightest blush of rouge
covered either check, shadingup over the
eyelds and temples. Her lips were col
ored deep red and her ears were hung
with large gold and jade earrings. She
wore the loose trousers and blouse of dark
blue silk When she had minced in on her
poor little feet she greeted us with two
or three prettily accented English words
of greeting, and gave us the limp hand
shake appropriate to the women of
fashion all over the world. Mrs. Ching
Ling had a strange mixture of womanly
dignity and childlike simplicity to her,
and through the interpreter we carried
on quite conversation, her funny little
children clinging to her knees and watch
ing us with their slant eyes all the time.
While we were talking to this Chinese
madonna a vision appeared in the door
way in the person of Mrs. Ching Chung
Chow, wife of one of the rich merchants
and a woman of most unusual beauty,
Mrs. Ching Chung Chow is young and
charming, with delicate olive skin, full
round eyes, as softly black as a fawn.
and the most graceful little ways of
doing everything. She chanted her
dainty little English sentences at us, lis
tened with the greatest interest to the
iargon the interpreter repeated after US,
and had the most bewitching ways of
any woman | have seen in a fortnight
While we were raving over this celestial
beauty, Mrs. Ching Lmg's maid set the
tea tray on the round centre-table, and
the hostess proceeded to offer us cups of
tea, unattainable in any ordinary way,
and of quality to inspire poets song
The tea leaves that tloatcd around in the
larger cups, in which they were stepped
were one and two inches long, and the
tea itself was Of delicate amber tint.
Crystallizcd sugar was offered us to put
in it, and thin waters and dried ginger
completed this unique refreshment. We
spent charming half hour with her, left
with many compliments ON both sides and
assured Mrs Ching Ling and Mrs Chin
Chung Chow that we should only take
too much pleasure in future visits.

which had befallen the Norris family.
With fear and trembling, she had pre-
sentcd herself at the door, with what re
suit we know.
Years seemed to fall from Mrs. Norris
face during the Thanksgiving Day, which
restored her lost faith in God and man,
even as it restored the long-lost son
And something of the lost spirit and
vigor seemed to return to Mr. Norris, for
time at least, and Janet was radiant.
and she set about preparing feast fit for
kings. For Ansley Norris had come
home with pockets full of gold and silver
from the mines of Colorado And So
after all, there was glad and happy
Thanksgiving Day at Norris farm, and
no one sent up more earnest cry Of
gratitude and praise than the softened
heart of Mrs. Norris, as she clung to
Janet and whispered:
1T is never wise to lose faith in God,
dear. You were right in clinging to his
hand through the darkness of the night,
which has becu shattered by the glory of
this beautiful morning And all my life
shall be one long day of Thanksgiving

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

A new branch of trade is the making
of Illuminating gas from sawdust.
According to a writer in foreign
paper, animal oils arc unsafe to use in air
compressors, as they take fire spontane-
ously in compressed air, or in other
words, they create an explosive gas.
A specimen of vegetable wool comes
from Java. When it is freed from its
leathery covering and the seeds, through
a very simple process, it is worth between
sixteen and seventeen cents a pound.
According to Electricite, spiders,
which are very numerous in Japan, spin
their webs during the night, between the
telegraph wires and their supports. As
the dews are very abundant, the webs be-
come conductors of electricity and give
rise TO great disturbance in the transmits
sion Of messages.
The Eureka colliery, in Pennsylvania,
is now employing in their mining opera
tions the expansive force produced by
bringing together quicklime and water
instead of blasting with gunpowder.
Among other advantages claimed by this
system, besides its cheapness and quick
ness, are the following: Immunity from
gas explosions there being no fire or
! flame, necessary absence of all noxious
gases and odors, and possibility of the
men working without interruption, there
being no explosion.
The Helena (Montana) independent tells
Of gulch between Helena and Virginia
City, New, whose waters cover polished
iron and steel, with coating of pure
metallic copper, as bright as the bur
nished metal Pick and shovels used
there soon become copper-platSd. One
day in 1876 a horse was permitted to
stand in the moist sand some fifteen min
utcs, and when led out his shoes had a
bright copper coating. The sands in this
guich are full of beautiful crystals Of
metallic copper. Sometimes we found
masses of crystalized copper weighing
three and four ounces.
Owing to the popularity of the Chin
ese characters, each of which represents
a word, not a letter, as in our Western
tongues, " says the English journal En-
gineering, @ the Danish Telegraph Com
/ pany (the Great Nortnern) working the
new Chinese line has adopted the follow
ing device There are from five to six
| thousand characters or words in ordinary
Chinese language and the company has
! provided a wooden block or type for
each of these. On one end of this block
the character is cut or stamped out, and
on the other end is a number representing
the character. The clerk receives a mes
sage in numbers and takes the block Of
each number transmitted and stamps
with the opposite end the proper Chinese
character on the message form, Thus a
Chinese message sent in figures is trans
lated into Chinese characters again and
forwarded to its destination. The send
ing clerk, of course requires to know the
numerical equivalent of the characters or
have them found for him.

Behind us lies a land all dim
With sighs of sorrows old
Before US on the oceans rim
A land that looks of gold.
We go, q fuller life to win,
With freedom for tn opprest-
But won't forget the old land in
The new worll of tie West.
We cannot weep who cross the deep,
Unfairly driven forth;
We might not sow, we could not reap
Our share Of native earth
We go, a fuller life to win,
With freedom for th' opprest--
But won't forget the old land in
That new world of the West.
As emigrants from land to land
From rise to set Of sun,
We build the bridge till oceans spanned
And all the world is one.
We go, fuller life to win.
With freedom for tn opprest--
But wont forget the old land in
That new world of the West.

THANKSGIVING.

AS flower from the sod looks up
To greet the gladstone light
That fills with fragrance its gay cup,
And makes its petals bright
SO may our hearts look up to Thee,
oh God, cur sun, our spring
And every grateful faculty
To Thee is glad song sing
For tables bountifully spread,
For homes, and hearts that love,
For every good that croNn ms our head,
For hopes that lure above
For all the streams of good that flow
Down from Thy distant rills,
We thank Thee for they come. we know.
From Thine eternal hills.
We thank Thee for the friends still ours
We thank Thee none the less
For those we have had, though their powers
Our lives no longer bless.
For like a meteor in the sky,
Though they have gone from sight,
Their passing trail still greets the eve,
And makes our night sky bright.
Teach us to hear the songs Of life;
Teach us to see its beauty;
Oh make us manly in its strife,
Nor ever deaf to duty,
And since whateer we have was given.
And still by right is Thine,
Teach us that earth is likest heaven
Through charity divine.
