cause of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia, with rare exceptions, ex-
tends from the lungs to the lining mem
brane of the chest Cpleura), and hence
is really pleuro-pneumonia. It's seat is
not the mucous membrane Of the bron-
chial tubes, as is that of bronchitis; nor
the general substance of the lungs, as is
that of lung fever, but the air cells and
the neighboring minute tubes (bronchi-
oles), which are wholly destitute of
mucous membrane. Sometimes it is al
most an epidemic. 1t often attacks
more than one member of the family.
Pleuro-pneumonia among horses is a
very contagious disease, and has some
times gone through the land, bringing
ordinary business to a stand still.
What is the cause Of pneumonia?
One medical writer says that neither
colds, bronchitis, pleurisy, asthma, nor
any other lung affection induces it;
that, in large proportion of cases. is
not referable to any obvious causative
agency, that, when it appears to follow
exposure to a cold, it is probable that
this acts only as an exciting cause, CO.
operating with the action of \ special
cause"
What is this special cause? This
question has received no answer until
recently. German investigators Of the
highest character believe they have at
length found it in a microscopic para
site, thus placing pneumonia among tho
germ diseases. The parasites are oval,
generally go in pairs, and, unlike all
others, enclose themselves-sev to-
gether-in a capsule.
On cultivating them out of the body,
insulating them in fluid, and injecting
little OF the fluid into thirty-two mice,
all of the mice died, in from eighteen
to forty hours, of pneumonia, while the
blood showed the peculiar parasites
with their characteristic capsules. Ex-
periments by means of inhalation eyhib-
tied the same results. Different inves-
tigators seem to have confirmed the
discovery.
Later experiments show that the
lungs of animals which have died Of
pIenro-pneumonia contain the same
parasites in large numbers, and that
the disease is necessarily the same with
pneumonia in man. Youths Compan
ion.

The World Thousand Years ago.

Countries of the World. A thousand
years ago, and for long after, the world
was not all the geological botanized,
zoologized and mapped out earthly ball
it is now. There it lay, according to
the imagination of the men and women
of those days-or rather, according tc
the monks; for the men, and far Ness
the women, of those distant times
troubled themselves very little about
matters of this kind. but left it to the
ehurehmen to NEEDLE with such danger
Gus book learning a fiat plain, full OF
things mysterious aud unknown and out
of the four corners, through the gaps Of
four mountain ranges, which were
placed there to keep it steady, blew
the four winds of Heayenl
OF course, the center Of it all was the
little town, and county, parish, manor,
barony or kingdom where they dwelt;
but outside of that was no mans land.
1t WIS looked upon by our remote fore
fathers in much the same light as it is
by the Chinese, who, while making
maps of the Flowery Land on scale
so large as to show the ground plain of
every town and village, mark all the
countries outside of that magic bound
ary of theirs as inhabited by barbar-
ians." 1t was the land of the infdel,
the people said, as they piously crossed
themselves at the thought. All was
mysterious to the travellers at that age.
The unknown lands were full of dragons
and giants, rocs, ores, witchwhales,
grffins, chimaras, enchanters. Paynims,
Saracens, Emirs and Sultans, Kaisers
of Constantinople, of Ind and Cathay
and Cipango.
What choice was there for young
traveller, a good knight and proper
man withal. If he had mind he could
steer his way to Lapland, where las all
the world knew dwarfs forged chain
armor of magic links, and where which
whales and ice moutains roamed about
the chilly sea, or go south and join the
Varangian Guard in Constantinople,
or beard the Turk in Palestine; or in-
to Egypt and win the Princes daughter
by killing a great dragon, rs did st.
George; or down to Cordova, where
there We're dire magicians; or into the
forests of Brittany where beauteous
fairies sported kindly immortals, who
loved to be welded to mortality-wh
emptied his water jars at night, ard
filed them with good Rhine wine ere
dawn of day. He might even marry
one, as did Sir Thomas, and pass few
days in Fairyland!

The vast space allowed in what are
called metropolitan papers to base ball
and other athletic amusements is one of
the curious features of modern journal
ism. Where one or two columns is
grudgingly given to the farm, which in
the foundation of material prosperity,
or to the vast interests embraced in the
education of the youth of the country,
or to other matters of vital Importance,
outside of politics, dozen columns are
filled with accounts of entertainments
that present little if any variety, and are
of no importance whatever in the great
economy of life and human progress.
Base ball may be well enough in its
place but that place is not what it
is represented in some of the daily
papers.

Bradstreets- able and conserva-
tive business paper is not entirely salts
fed with the situation, and does not
pretend that everything is all right, or
anything like it. 1t says the country
merchant who is about to seek the CEN
tiers of production and distribution for
his autumn purchases is wisely hesitat-
ing before giving heavy orders, lest the
farmers needs be smaller than custom
airy. 1t will be time enough for ventur-
ing predictions as to the return of in
dustrial and trade activity in the United
States when the failure score is at the
minimum rather than at the full. And
it might have added when the prices of
produce come so very near the cost of

A brave attempt is made to show that
something valuable has been accom-
plished by the Greedy expedition; but
it all comes down to the fact that two of
its members reached point four or five
miles farther north than any previous
explorer ever set foot. that few new
theories as to the conformation of the
land and water Whereabouts are preached,
and that few old ones are discredited.
This does not pay for the loss of nine
teen lives and the frightful suffering ex-
perienced by the h alf-dozen survivors
who would have been past relief if the
rescuers had been forty eight hours

While sitting around our family
hearth OH the evening of Nov. 1st, We
were suddenly startled by the hurried
march of feet and the rustic and
hustle OF papers and baskets coming
in at our parlor door. The ladies of
the aid society OF the NJ. L. church
with few of their friends had gotten
up a surprise for US. 1t was a very
pleasant affair. AT first they piled our
table with parcels mostly pound par
cells, one of which was pound of
money. Then Mrs. a. G. Brown
stepped forward aud in behalf of the
ladies' aid society of the NJ. p. church
presented US with beautiful satin
quilt gotten up by the society and up
on which is worked iu silk 270 of the
names of our friends. After recover
ing from our astonishment we spent a
sociable and pleasant evening together.
We wish to return our thanks to the
society and to all who remembered us
in this kindly way.
