infection in swine lies entirely in the
rat. A committee of Vienna phvsi-
clans found in Moravia thirty-seven per
cent. of rats examined trichinous; in
Vienna and its environs ten per cent,
and in Lower Austria about four per
cent. The well-known voracity of the
hog and its special fondness for meat
cause it to feed upon the flesh and ex-
crements of other animals infested with
these parasites, and especially rats
and mice. To prevent trichinous swine
it is highly important to cut off all the
sources OF the disease in the diet of
those animals

Why We Squint.

In order to overcome the defect of
hyperopic vision, the child is compelled
to use his %ciliary muscles, and to in
crease the conveNity of his lens, even
when looking at distant objects, an ex-
ertion of muscular force that the normal
eye is not required to make. These
ciliary muscles are supplied by the same
pair of nerves that supply the recti
muscles, Hence, the functions OF these
separate muscles are performed in uni
son, through their nerve centres. The
use of II accordingly necessitate a cor
responding exercise Of the other, and a
given degree Of conveyance causes and
accompanies al equal degree of accom-
mediation. Now, as continuous exercise
of any muscle or set of muscles has the
effect to cause an extra quantity of blood
to circulate through them, and as an in
creased blood-supply is invariably at
tended with increased nutrition and re-
sultant strength, it follows that by fire.
quent use the internal recti become
stronger than their antagonistic muscles,
and that certain degree of c"onvergence
results, which is present even when the
eyes are at rest. When the child begins
to examine near objects a still greater
amount of accommodation becomes nee
essary in order to enable him sharply
to define them. This increased effort
brings into play, simultaneously, both
the internal rccti, and u corresponding
degree of conveyance follows. As
there was already some conveyance
present before the accommodative effort
was made, there now results a greater
degree than is needful, and both eyes be-
ing directed to a point nearer than the
object looked at, double vision ensues.
In order to avoid the duplicate image
one eye is at once turned outward and
directed toward the object. Asa conse-
quence, the other eye Immediately turns
inward to a still greater extent than be-
fore. In case both eyes are equally
hyperopic, both the internal recti of ex-
actly similar strength, it is a matter Of
Indifference which eye is directed toward
the object, and the condition known rs
alternate squint results. But it happens
comparatively seldom that nature pro-
vides us with two eyes of exactly the
same degree of strength, and the uni
versal law that the weaker must sue
cumb, finds no exception here. The
stronger eye becomes the working eye
and the weaker eye the squirting one

ton to the raising of leeks for hogs.
They are said to be especially valuable
for quite young pigs. Like onions and
garlic, they are known to be very whole
some and to act as %preventives of many
diseases. In many places pumpkins
and squashes are easily raised, and they
make excellent food for hogs during the
period between good grass and ripe corn.
The protitableness of Jerusalem arti-
chokes is acknowledged by nearly all
who have raised them, but their culture
is not as general as it should be. They
are easily grown, very productive, and
exceedingly wholesome. The economic
feeding Of hogs has not received the at
tention it deserves. In fact, the value
of our hog products is not appreciated.
The hogs of this country supply most of
the meat eaten, while the pork products
exported bring S1O5, 796, 779 into the
country.-Chicago Times.

The Country Doctor Of the Last
Century.

In the small towns and country the
doctor was one Of the central fig cures.
His requirements would not now enter
him in the senior class of a medical
college, since, rs a general thing, the
doctors of his time had no opportunity
to attend lectures, and not much to read
medicine. When a young man was des-
tined for the medical profession he was
sent to some doctor in one of the larger
towns, and here, half student, half
servant, he learned the elements of the
business. He assisted his master in
such matters as were necessary, mixed
the enormous doses then customary,
carried the bottles to the patients,
washed the jars, pounded the drugs in
mortar, and was the general utility man.
Very rarely was there an opportunity
for Il dissection, for, save when the body
Of a hanged murderer was to be had,
the subjects were ''snatchedn from some
graveyard, and this was an exceedingly
dangerous operation. Thus each man
was left to himself to acquire the whole
round of medical experience as best he
could. OF ours he made many mis-
takes, but the grave hid most of his
failures, and the fault was charitably
laid at the door Of Providence. The
remedies then were few and simple and
the deficiency in number was atoned for
by the quantity taken. The amount Of
medicine taken wen by the well in those
days was wonderful. Those who had
not an ache or a pain believed it necessa-
~ in the spring to purify the blood,
and huge doses of SIENNA and mama, Of
salts and rhubarb, were matters OF
curse No quinine was used for the
ague fits, which were every day affairs,
but in its stead pounded Peruvian bark
was the only recourse, and it was so
scarce as to be almost unavailable.
Smallpox was common, for vaccination
was unknown, and the yellow fever was
then more common in the North than at
present IN the South. The f~avorite
treatment for everything was bleeding,
and the man who tainted from weakness
was bled at once, again and again, as
the idea was that fainting was the result
| of rush of blood to the head. Anns-
thetics We're not known, and he who
sustained an injury was forced to submit
to the agonies of an amputation with all
his faculties in more than usual activity
on account of his at the
prospect before him.-Cor. st. Louis

Doctor MOSQUITO.

Some brainy scientist with Jumps on
bis forehead like a summer squash, has
advanced the startling theory that the
mosquito is a medical insect, or, as it
We're, an NJ. d. on the wing. He goes
on to state that the mosquito is not ex-
actly the universal nuisance that people
take him to be, but that he always
gives value received, and in exchange
Tor your life's blood injects q dose of
quinine, OF a substitute for quinin,
into your system at the same moment
that he taps your epidermis for a
straight drink.
Perhaps there is a grain of truth in
this interesting and sensational state
ment. We know for q fact that the
favorite haunts of the thoroughbred
mosquito are usually located in swampy,
malarial districts, where stalk the
ghostly chills, dumb yet eloquent
indolent livers and torpid spleens. We
know that, because We have been there
ourselves and have sampled them. And
the mosquitoes sampled us at the same
time, but we didn't have the least idea
in the world that we were swapping
blood for quinine, although we did
notice that in these localities, surround
ca with such malign and depressing in
fuences, the average mosquito waxed
