Wind Gardens.

Midway between earth and sky,
There the wild wind gardens lie,
Tossing gardens, secret bowers,
Full of songs and full OF flowers.
Waiting down to us below
Such fragrance as we know
Never yet had lily or roso
That our fairest garden knows.
Oh, those gardens, dear and far,
Where the wild wind fairies are!
Though we see not, we can hearken
To them when the spring skies darken,
Singing clearly, singing purely,
Songs of far-olf Eli-land, surely,
And they pluck tho wild wind posies,
Lilies, violets and roses.
Each to each the sweet buds flinging,
Fostering, tending them and singing.
The sweet scent, like angels pity,
Finds us even in the city,
Where we, toiling, seek as treasures,
Dull earth's disenchanted pleasures.
Oh, the gales, with wind flowers laden,
Towers that no mortal maiden,
In her breast shall ever wear!
Flowers to wreath Tltania's hair.
And to strew her happy way with
When she marries some wind fay with.
Oh, wind gardens, where such songs are,
And OF flowers such happy throngs are,
Through your paths l may not see,
Weli l know how fair they be.

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.
Choking.

Ifa person be choking, give him q
smart whack with the open hand be-
tween the shoulders. In nine cases
out of ten the sudden compression of
the air in the chest will shoot the sub
stance out of the mouth; but If not,
look into the throat, and see if there
is anything you can reach with your
finger and thumb, or with a large
blunt-pointed pair of scissors, and pull
it out. If you do not succeed in this,
take silver or pewter tablespoon, bend
it little, and holding the bowl secure
ly in the hand, push the handle down
the throat. If you keep 1t
quite to the back Of the throat
you will do no harm. This is a
case which admits of no delay, and the
life hangs upon your coolness and
quickness of action. If it be only a
small substance in the throat, and the
person can swallow at all, give plenty
of bread and potato, and a drink Of
water after it. Swallow the whites OF
one or two raw eggs, and then large
mouthful of crumbs Of new bread.
This will generally carry down any
such substances as fish bones, pins, ETC.
If this is not sufficient, give a tea

or any other emetic you have at hand,

Better be Saving of Water.

Richard A. Proctor says that the age
of the earth is placed by some at 500,-
100000 years, and still others of later
time, among them the Duke of Argyle,
place it at 100000 years. None
place it lower than 100000, knowing
what processes have been gone through.
Newton surmised, although he could
give no reason for il, that the earth
would at one time become perfectly
dry. Since then it has been found that
Newton was correct. As the earth
keeps cooling it will become porous
and great cavities will be formed in
the interior, which will take in the
water. 1t is estimated that this pro-
cess is now in progress so that the
water diminishes at the rate of the
thickness of sheet of writing paper a
year. At this rate in 100000 years
the water will have sunk mile, and
in 100000 years every trace of water
will have disappeared from the face OF
the globe.-.St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Red Sunsets sin Visible.

Mr.. Garrett p. Serviss, the lecturer
on astronomy, and Secretary of the
American Astronomical Society, says
people generally have no idea what
surprising phenomena these red sun
sets or sun glows really are. Even yet
they may be seen in clear weather.
though less distinctly than last win
ter. There is an accompanying pheno-
menon which you may behold any fair
day surrounding the sun. When the
sun goes behind small cloud OF the
edge of a building you will see a
whitish halo around it, which is often
oordered with pink or salmon color.
1t is mistake to assume, as many per-
sons do, that either the red sunsets or
lis halo around the sun are common
appearances which have always ex-
listed in the sky. They made their
first appearance in these latitudes
about year ago, and, as Prof. Archi-
bald has pointed out, while the sunset
glows have diminished in intensity, the
halos have remained unchanged and
are just as distinct to-day as they
were ten or twelve months ago.
Moreover, they have been seen all over
the world, and it of course becomes
necessary, in attempting to account
for them, to find some cause capable
Of affecting the atmosphere Of the
whole earth. At the Montreal meet
ing of the British association, report
was made in behalf of committee in
England, which has been gathering
evidence from every quarter of the
earth about the red sunsets. This re-
port showed that those phenomena
were not visible before the Krakatoa
eruption, and that they were first seen
in the neighborhood of that island,
from which they seemed to spread in
all directions until the morning and
evening skies over the whole earth
were ahame with the marvellous light.
The inference is that fine dust thrown
from the Krakatoa volcano into the
higher regions Of the atmosphere was
borne by air currents around the whole
planet, and that the reflection of the
suns rays from this dust caused the
| glowing skies and other strange phe-
nomena that were subsequently wit.

Where peace hath its mantle spread.

aches results from imperfect diges-
tion and arise either in the stomach
or intestines from the irritation OF the
nervous apparatus of the alimentary
canal by the resulting depraved Sc.
cretlon. The nerves Of the stomach
are derived from an important nerve,
the pneumogastric, which originating
in the brain passes downward and is
distributed to the lungs and stomach,
and any irritation in the latter organ
may produce headache by sympathetic
action.
The mucous membrane of the
stomach in healthy condition is of a
pale color when at lest, but when food
comes in contact with it the mechani
cal action induced by the friction and
motion causes the blood vessels to
dilate and the surface to become red

Unwholesome food which disturbs

in some persons, who are extremely
prone to sick headaches; pain and un'

approaching sick headache.
An oppressive frontal headache sue
ceeds with nausea, dread of light and
noise; vomiting often gives immediate
relief. Sick headache may come in a
few hours after eating, or the patient
may go to bed comfortable and wake
up unrefreshed with heavy feeling
across the forehead, and the headache
soon sets in. This form of headache
can be traced to some error in diet,
With the advance of years they become
less acute but more exhaustive and

cold applications, with an occasional

the diet. -Practical Farmer.
