ed through the postofice. The next
wear the number bounded up 10 nearly
l69,00O,O0o, and has ever since increas-
ed rapidly. Last year the number OF

dom was no less than 1,280,536,2M. In

Most of the writers of the middle
e believed that cinnamon, ginger,
cloves and nutmegs We're the produce
of the same tree; that.the bay. the fig
tree, eagles and seal-skin afford protee-
ton from lightning; and that the use
of bitter almonds is an ef~fectual guard
against i~ntoxicatlon. Two fallacies
are attached to the herb basil. Halle
rims declared that it propagated scorpi-
ons. while Oribasius, on the other hand,
asserted that it was an antidote to the
sting of these insects.
One great authority, quoted by
Browne, states that an ivy has the
property of separating wine from wa
ter. the former soaking through, but
the latter remaining. Sir Thomas Sc
riously tried the experiment, but in

IN Information Club.

A number OF ladies met one day
for purposes Of social improvement.
One of their number proposed that
each member Of the party should in
form the company Of the last new
thing she had learned. Amid much
laughter the plan was agreed upon.
A young married lady began by telling
how to make a new kind Of fancy
bread. Then Mrs. Smith spoke: II
had two holes in my brown cashmere
dress. / could not darn them, nor
patch them, MOI take a piece out to
look well, and I was bound not to
make a bad job of it. l don't mind a
mended place on a calico dress, but a
good cashmere would look so like an
old one, darn it never SO nicely, and
press it never so well. A friend
showed me her black merina that she
had mended charmingly by wetting a
piece of court plaster Of exactly the
same shade as the goods, and putting
it on the wrong side, pressing down
every frayed edge and every thread,
and laying a weight on it until it was
thoroughly dry" Mrs. Green then
stated that deodorized sulphur brushed
well into the scalp with a stiff brush
was excellent for making the hair
grow. The little school teacher gave
her method for crimping hair; she
dampened it a little at night, then put
in closely, one after another, some
pieces of those long combs that little
girls YEA The broken pieces put in
closely at the sides. made nice, large
nipples that remained in for a day or
two, if the front hair was handled
carefully and not drawn tightly. And
so on through the entire circle. Every
lady gave some bit of useful informa-
ton to her interested listeners. Don't
you think this plan OF. entertainment
a good one, ladies?

The Use of SaEf.

we have received from a CORES
pondent a letter making some inquiries
INTO n use of salt, and we are given
10 understand that among other follies
OF the day some indiscreet persons are
Directing to the use of salt, and pro-
pose to do without it. Nothing could
be more absurd. Common salt is the
most widely distributed substance in
the body; it exists in every fluid and
IN every solid; and net only is every
where present, but in almost every
part it constitutes the largest portion
OF the ash when any tissue is burnt.
In particular it is a constant constitu-
emit OF the blood, and it maintains in it
a proportion that is almost wholly in
dependent of the quantity that is con-
sumed with the food. The blood will
take up so much and no more, how
ever much we may take with our food;
and, on the other hand, il hone be
given. the blood parts with its natural
quantity slowly and unWillingly.
Under ordinary circumstances a
healthy man loses daily about twelve
grains by n channel or the other,
and ii he is to maintain his health
that quantity is to be introduced.
Common salt is of immense impor-
lance in the processes m~inistering to
the nutrition of the body, for not only
is it the chief salt in the gastric juice,
and essential for the formation of bile
and may hence be reasonably regarded
as OF high value in digestion, but it is
an important agent in promoting the
processes of diffusion and therefore of
absorption. Direct experiment has
shown that it promotes the decomposi-
ton of albumen in the body, acting
probably by increasing the activity of
the transmission of fluids from cell to
cell. Nothing can demonstrate its
value better than the fact that if albu-
men without salt is introduced into
the fntestines of an animal no portion
of it is absorbed, while it all quickly
disappears if salt be added. If any
further evidence were required it could
be found in the powerful instinct
which impels animals to obtain salt.
Buffaloes will travel for miles to reach
a ssaltIick;' and the value of salt in
improving the nutrition and aspect of
horses and cattle is well known to
every farmer.
The conclusion therefore is obvious
that sal, being wholesome, and indeed
necessary, should be taken in moderate
quantities, and that abstention from it
is likely to be injurious. london Ian
