At the late session of the international medical congress, just held in Copenhagen, the subject of malaria was discussed to a great extent. Prof. Crudeli, who was present, is said to be the highest living authority on the subject. He repudiates the theory that it originates exclusively in swamps and marshes, and finds that it is produced in soils of varied composition, without the presence of putrefaction what ever. But as very few people can select localities, or remove the causes, the means to increase the power of resistance may be of the most consequence to the masses. The professor acknowledges the value of quinine and other drugs generally used, but he has been seeking for something more simple and less expensive. He finds that the ordinary lemon furnishes indeed one of the best remedies that can be had. He advises that decoction of lemon be made as follows: Gut up one lemon, peel and all, into thin slices, put it into three glassfuls of water, and boil it down to one glassful. Strain the liquid through linen, squeezing thoroughly the remains of boil ed lemon, and set it aside to cool. Drink the whole amount when fasting. As the decoction possesses cathartic properties, the dose should not be repeated too fre- quently, not more than once day, or every other day, according to individual susceptibility. It is presumed that the more common ways of partaking of lemon would also be beneficial

it's too bad that he should have taken your aunt for one of the village purloiners! Gelert, come here this instant, sir! assure you, Miss Green' (to Aunt Jane, who between her fatigue and excitement was on the verge of fainting) ), ''my uncle will be the most grieved of any one, when he learns what misapprehension he has been laboring under. Allow me to help you down. Take care-don't spill the barberries !"
 "Dear Aunt Jane!" soothed Miriam, re- ceiving the old lady in her arms, Chow fright ened you must have been!"
 "Oh, Miriam, forgive me !" sobbed the old lady behind her sunbonnet. "I-I didn't know how dreadful it was or I never, never would have pulled the ladder down and left you there! Its Q righteous retribution on me- that's what it is !"
 ssOh, aunty, don't fret about it !' said Mi riam, radiantly. ''Its all right now. MT. Ford came along and put up the ladder again and-and Pm engaged to be married to him Don't look so surprised, Aunt Jane I know I've told it in 8 jerky sort of way, but it all happened as naturally as possible. Didn't it John ?'
 And then followed congratulations and ex plantations, and finally the humble apologies of Major Ford, a testy old gentleman of sixty odd years, who just then arrived on the scene accompanied by the village constable.
 ssrm sure beg thousand pardons !" said Major Ford. ''But how was to know? Tn stranger in these parts you know and hal1 the fruit trees were stripped last night"
 And Aunt Jane received his acknowledge ment in frigid silence.
 "A lady is @ lady," she said to her niece afterward "even if she has climbed on { stone-wall to gather barberries And no on' but Q standardization could mistake her fo anything else !"
 And Miriam Green was too happy in he own new born felicity to argue the question with her aunt.

(Pittsburg Leader.) FORTUNES IN RAG PICKING.

The business of the rag-picker and ash hauler, as both may be classified under the one head, oftentimes proves very profta- ble to the persons engaged in it, owing to the numerous articles of value that are fre- quently found by them while searching and gathering into their sacks and carts the rags, paper and rubbish generally to be found in the back yards of nearly all the well-to do residents of this city. One of the followers of the business, whose voice is frequently heard by our business
 men as he reads his morning paper, shout ing "Rags, rags," in conversation with a Leader man yesterday told of some very
 curious articles he had found while follow ing his avocation of rag gatherer. Said he: s'I have been in the business nigh
 onto twenty years, and though now use horse and wagon and can show you a good house and lot which I now own and which purchased from the proceeds ob tained for the sale of hundreds and thou sands of pounds of rags, let me tell you,
 my friend, started into the business pos
 sessing nothing in this world except the bag in which I carried my paper and rags,
 and the clothes I had on, which were little better than rags. I was working six
 months at the business of collecting rags,
 bones and paper, before I made what might be called lucky find. When one
 day was told that could have all the paper which lay in pile in one of the rooms of the old city treasurers office on
 Fourth avenue, got my bag ready, and while filling it l came across package of bank bills, held together with pasted band. I quickly placed them in my pock- ct, so that the man assisting me would not see the money. l did not spend much | 1 o1,,Io Df
 per, as I was in hurry to leave that ed at the notes and found the package con tained $50 in $1 bills. I don't know how it was lost nor did ever inquire. After that l frequently found small articles of value, such as cuff buttons, earrings and 'shinplaster' money of various amounts. My next big find was about ten years ago,
 when in the finger of badly torn glove I found diamond cluster ring, which af- forwards learned was worth $275. The ring had evidently stuck in the glove when the wearer took it off, and she, for it was lady's glove have no doubt, supposed she had lost the valuable jewel on the street probably she might have had, but I know that I sold the ring for very near
 ly its value to lady ill Oakland, after l had in vain endeavored to find @ the own. CT" said the rag fend with knowing smile. "I have continually heard of oth- CT members of my profession CD making some valuable discoveries among old pa pers and rubbish, one of whom found Q promissory note for $3,OO0, which the holder supposed he had lost. The latter gave the finder $1OO reward. Icould keek on enumerating articles found under va rious circumstances by us, but it might prove monotonous reading in your paper, so please let what have told you suffice, J
 sad the man whom the Parisians call chiffonier as he passed on down the street.
