CANNED GOODS.

The consumption of all kinds of canned
goods has increased rapidly of late years
both at home and abroad, though our en-
portatons are restricted by an apparently
unfounded prejudice in Europe against the
American article. Canned salmon and
oysters are our principal expectations in this
line. A comparatively small amount of corn
is exported though some goes TO London
and to Germany. The home consumption
of canned corn, however, is very large, and
1t is thought that canned goods generally,
corn included, viii ultimately be among the
most important of our expectations One
of the largest dealers in New York estimates
the total annual production of canned corn
in the United States at 500, 900 cases of two
dozen cans each, or in all 8, 200, 900 cans of
corn. Each can contains one aud ono half
pounds of corn. Yet larger quantity of
tomatoes is consumed. Another dealer
says that about one half of the canned corr
is packed in Maine from Maine corn.--N

EPILEPSY.

This disease has its name from a Gree3
word signifying to seize, indicating the sud-
denness Of its attacks in the midst of ordi-
nary health and occupations. 1t does not
directly shorten life, but its cure is always
matter of grayest doubt. In the young il
is liable to affect the mental development;
in part, no doubt, because it is allowed to
interfere with their sports and intellectual
training
Epilepsy must not be COMPOUNDED with
other commissions which resemble it. It's
distinguishing characteristics are the follow.
ing:
The person suddenly falls; the body be-
zones rigid for, perhaps half minute and
then is strongly convulsed the face is dis
torted and lvid, and saliva comes from the
month, possibly mixed with blood from a
bitten tongue The head shoulders, arms
aud limbs are violently jerked. The con.
WILSON'S generally cease after a minute or
SO, and the person is stupid and inclines to
sleep.
The disease is due, probably, to brief
spasm of certain cerebral arteries which, for
the time being, interrupts the flow of blood
to certain nerve-centres; but what causes the
Bpasm is still uncertain.
In the majority of cases it begins between
the ages of two and twenty. One attack ii
sure to be followed sooner or later by others
with tendency to increase in frequency.
Though it is reckoned among hereditary
diseases, yet it is certain that the parents
may have it without giving it to children or
grandchildren. 1t is probable that intern
perance and other excesses favor its devel-
opment and increase its frequency if, in
some cases, they do not originate it.
The bromide of potassium is used as a
remedy for curing or controlling the disease;
but physician should prescribe it, as well
as look after the general treatment of the
patient, which will differ with individual
cases. When the attack is over the patient
should be allowed to sleep on his own &c
cord. Children should have special pains
taken with them to ensure all needed sports
and mental culture, and thus protect them
from physical and intellectual degeneration.

EARTHQUAKES.

These disturbances of the earth's crust, DO.
curing in rapid succession, attract attention
to the theory that earthquakes are sometimes,
at least, the result Of causes affecting large
portion Of the earth, or perhaps the whole
globe. Various so-called earthquake cycles
have been pointed ont, but it cannot be said
that any one of them has been satisfactorily
established. It's impossible to predict earth
quakes, and the utmost that careful observa-
ton has SO far proved is that there are GER
tain periods when earthquakes are unusually
numerous. All sorts of theories have been
invented to account for these periodic
disturbances of the earth. Some have as
cribed earthquakes to the influence Of COM
cts, although the idea is about as well found
ed as that of the astrologers that comets
foretell wars and famines Others have
thought that earthquakes may result from
the varying force of attraction of the
sun, the moon, and the other planets upon
the earth. There is, at least, some appear
ance of plausibility in this theory, but the
whole question is yet open and great deal
more information is needed before ii can bf
in any degree settled.

RESTAURANTS AND WALTERS.

In reference to large restaurant on the

writes They cook by steam, heat the
building in the same manner and use the
electric light. In the restaurant business,
as in every other there is vast difference in
the rates of profit Meats being leading

profitable, but the bar is the best of ALL The
walters como on in gradual force to meet the
advancing hours and are relieved in a regu-

and carvers. The latter require great prac-
tice to reach proper degree of skill, and an
expert is worth 500 per month. He must
work with rapidity and precision which
is really surprising, and slight variation
FROM the proper cut wills make marked
difference in the profits of the house. 1t is
now estimated that 5000 walters and other
employees are required by the restaurants of
this City, and that the aggregate capital is
not less than 100000. The system is
adapted to all classes, and while Pinard and

youth, faded or gray hair TO natural, rich
brown color or deep black, as may be desired.
BY its use light or red hair may be darkened,

a sure cure for dandrutf. Not within my

celebrated " Fairbairn Family of Scottish
Voealists, writes from Boston, Mass, Feb. o,
1880 Ever since my hair began to give sill

an appearance of youthfulness "a matter OF

BUILD OF BRICK.

Omaha needs more brick buildings,
In dwellings as we'll as business houses.
We are much behind other cities In
this respect. In Kansas City, for In.
stance, the proportion Of brick build.
lngs Ia more than double Of our own.
The consequence Is that Kansas City
has an appearance Of solidity and
stability which Omaha still lacks.
Oar city still looks more like a town
on wheels than the substantial and
growing metropolis that she really is.
The time has come when our citizens
ought to turn their attention to this
matter. Brick buildings will be as
much matters of sound economy as
they will be improving to the appear
ance of this community. Within the
last three years the price of lumber In
many lines has nearly doubled. 1t
costs very little less now to erect a
good brick cottage than 1t
does to build a substantial
wooden dwelling. What little
difference there may be, will be more
than made up in a few years In econo.
my of repairs. So far as stores are
concerned, 1t Is criminal folly to erect
q wooden business house on one of
our main thoroughfares, even where
the fire ordinance permits II. A good,
solid, substantial brick block will pay
a much larger return in the long run
than q wooden shanty Of the same
dimensions. There Is enough diff.
ference In the annual cost Of in
ruranoe, paint and repairs to
pay good interest on q brick
building not to speak Of the
pride which every citizen ought to
take In the appearance Of our streets.
We have insxhaustible beds OF clay
all around us. A brick building boom
would mean more brick yards and
cheaper bricks. But 1t would mean
more than thst; 1t would mean such q
change In the appearance Of Omaha
that our old settlers would scarcely
recognize It.
