so much success. This is the reparation Of
broken nerve after the two ends have been
long separated, and the part which was so
separated by an interval from communca-
ton with the brain has become entirely use
less. Fora long time, indeed always until q
very few days ago, it had been supposed i'm
possible to effect this junction, owing partly
10 the fact that the ends would contract. so
as to be too short TO meet one another. In

NJ. Tillaux was Of different opinion, and
has made two ex experiments which show con-
elusively that he was right and the faculty
was wrong. The first was the case Of a wo-
man who had cut through her wrist with a
pane Of glass, seyering one Of the most i'm
portant nerves in the arm. For four months
the hand had been paralyzed, and had lost
all sense Of feeling, but the doctor has now
sewn up the nerve, and the hand has aesum-
ed all its power. The other case was stlll
more extraordinary, being that Of man in
whose arm the nerve had been severed for
fourteen years, but whose cure was no less
complete. The new process is called by It's
inventor secondary suture,'' and is, as 1t
may be supposed, hailed with great interest
by the academy.

TIMELY TOPICS.

MILK for babes and strong meat for grown
up men. But if the milk be impure, and the
meat unclean, there is not only ''death in
the pot" but death in the milk pail. The
amount of sickness and death produced by
impure and unhealthy food is little dreamed
of by the community. The denizens of
cities are more generally subjected TO the
consumption of impure food, than are the
inhabitants of rural districts, where the pro-
ducts Of the farm come pure and unadulter-
ated to the house hold. The New York Herald
satirizes the ''Pure Country Mix" furnish
ed by honest % dealers in that city thus :;
GA splashy marsh, dotted with tum ble-down
shanties, over which smoke and foul odors
drift night and day-such is Blissville, just
back of Long Island City. The inky water of
Newtown Creek washes thousand stenches
up on one side, and hundred piggeries
and cow-stables provide for the nostrils Of
the inhabitants on the other. Calvary Gem
etery gives cheerful aspect to the east end,
and the Jail smilingly overlooks the whole.
Pigs, geese, ducks and dogs roam around
loose in the streets. At night the bullfrogs
sing Wagner's music. 1t is the native heath
of the goat. Tin cans abound in heaps, and
dirty children wander about without fear of
the Board of Health. When a Herald report
er reached Long Island City, he followed
his nose" or, in other words, walked in the
direction from which the most powerful
smell came, and in few minutes was in the
heart of Blissville. In this pestiferous quag-
mire Drs Hawk and Rowland, the two
United States inspectors appointed by Com
missioner of Agriculture Loring, were hard
twork examining the stables containing
"Pure country milk" cows afflicted with
pl9uro-pnemonia. In one place they found
a COW dying. It's hoofs were rotted, and its
ribs almost stuck through the NANCY skin.
From its infamed mouth withered tongue
hung, and its eyes were sunken almost out
Of sight. Another COW was in the last stages
of the disease. Its milk had been sent to
New York in the morning. The first COW
was shot and the second one removed. In
some places the inspectors found mere
wrecks of animals whose hoofs had dropped
off, so that the unfortunate beasts had to
limp on the stumps. Every one had been
MIXED and the yield sent to the city. The
inspectors came upon one field of sick COWS
driven out to die, where one was dead aud
three were dying. All were weak and thin
The slaughter of all the abandoned cattle was
ordered" Such a revelation does not great
ly increase one's appetite for "Pure Country
Mix" But what penalty should be visited
on the rascals who send the milk product of
such COWS 10 market2

AvE.-PRELUDE TO ILLUSTRATED
POEMS"
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

Full well know the frozen hand has come
That smites the songs Of grove and garden dumb,
And chills sad autumn's last chrysanthemum;
Yet would find one blossom, II / might,
Ere the dark loom that weaves the robe Of white
Hides all the wrecks Of summer out OF sight.
Sometimes in dim Nevember's narrowing day,
When all the seasons pride has passed away,
As mid the blackened stems and leaves we stray,
We SPY in sheltered nook or rocky cleft
A starry disk the hurrying winds have left
OF all its blooming sisterhood bereft;
Some pansy, with its wondering bsby-eyes-
Poor wayside nursling-fxed in blank surprise
At the rough welcome Of unfriendly skies;
Or golden daisy-will it dare disclaim
The lions tooth, TO swear his gentIer name?
Or blood-red SALIVA, with its lips afame:
The storms have stripped the lily and the rose,
Still on the cheek the flush Of summer glows,
And all its heart-leaves kindle as IT blows.
So had looked some bud of song 70 find
The careless winds of autumn left behind,
While these Of earlier seasons growth to bind.
All me my skies are dark with sudden grief,
A flower lies faded on my garnered sheaf;
Yet let the sunshine gid this virgin leaf
The joyous, blessed sunshine Of the past,
Still with me, though the heavens are overcast
The light that shines while life and memory last.
Bring back the smiles your jocund morning lent,
And warm their hearts with sunbeams yet IN
spent!

GOPHER. in the Hebrew dialect, is a spe-
cies of wood used in the construction of No
abs Ark. According to Noah Webster the
name was originally given by French set
tiers to nanny burrowing animsls from
their honeycombing the earth. In Canada
and Illinoise the name was given to q gray
burrowing squirrel Sperm1plilats Franklin;
md in Wisconsin to striped squirrel In

Missouri common species is a pouched
rat of reddish or chestnut brown color, with
broad mole-like fore feet the Geonlgs 6trSari-
as. In Georgia a snake Colatbar Coupon is
called by the same name; and in Florida, a
tirtle (tte TeStlsdo pOlslohenans.) Thus It is
seen, the gopher so called is an animal of
several different species. Mr.. Acton Burrows
Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Manitoba.
says in some portions of that province and
Northwestern Canadian Territories gophers
are proving nuisance to farmers: but what
species is not stated Mr., Burrows, also I'M
derstands that similar trouble is experienced
in Minnesota and Dakota and that bounties
are offered by the municipal authorities and
Agricultural associations for the abatement
of the nuisance. 1t is dot apprehended that
the gopher nuisance win reach the magni
tude Of the rabbit nuisance, in Australia, where
they increase and multiply up to the millions
and their devastation and ravages are so
great that they have actually caused the
abandonment of certain sections of the coun-
try for agricultural purposes, How to rid
the country of this pestiferous, blighting pest
is problem yet unsolved. Millions are
slain, but more millions take their place.
They are prolific to an alarming extent.

'THE Life, Times, and Friends" Of Simon
Peter, prepared by Edwin Holder, has been
published in London and New York. A re-
viewer says: For years past we have won
dered why some one did not undertake for
the Apostle Peter what Conybeare and How
son have done so well for the Apostle Paul.
The person aud character of Peter are UNIQUE
and more easy TO portray than those of the
church. The man and the material, in re-
spect to Peter, were ample and comparatively
easy for highly instructive and popular
work. Holders Simon Peter, while it can
not be compared with the great work of Cony-
beare and Howson, being different in aim
and treatment, will for this very reason have
more readers aud be equally instructive and
entertaining for the large class for which it
was designed. 1t brings out finely the man
and the disciple and also, in few touches, his
fellow-disciples, among whom he was ever
the foremost. We have read the book with
great interest and heartily commend it to our
readers.

ACCORDING to the Cor7aliiH Magazine eng. }
the duration of human life has largely in
creased within the past few years. That
journal says: 1.-THE average duration of hu-
man life as now compared with the period
1S9S-1S54i is 41.9 years instead of 1919, and
of womanis 45.3 instead of Al g years, an
addition Of eight per cent. to the female life
and five per cent. to the male. OF each
thousand males born at the present day for
ty-four more will attain the age of thirty-five
than used to be the case previous to 1871.
For the whole of life the estimate now is that
of one thousand persons Zone half males
and one-half females) 35 survive at the age
of forty-fve, 20 at fifty-ive, at sixty-fve, 3
al. seventy-fve and l at eighty-five. To put
the case in another way every thousand per-
sons born since 1870 will live about 2. 700
years longer than before. In other words
the life of a thousand persons is now equal
in duration to that of 1,O70 persons previ-
ously; and 1000 births will NOW keep up the
growth of our population as well as 1.O70
births used to do. This is equivalent in re-
suit to an increase of our population and in
the best form, viz, not by more births but
by fewer deaths, which means fewer maIad-
les and better health What is more, nearly
20 per cent of this increase of life takes place
(or is lived in the ''useful period''---namely
between the ages Of twenty and sixty. Thus
of the 2,7OO additional years lived by each
thousand of our population 20 per cent. or
1890 years will be direct addition to the
working power Of our people.

MANY people entertain the error eous idea,
that freezing purides ice This is a great mis-
take II the water is impure, the ice viii be al
so. Many persons who have wholesome dread
OF impure water and bad air do not give the
subject OF impure ice more than a moment
thought. The Sanitary Neaos directs attention
TO Zone particular ice-house, near a large
city," which Is, perhaps, only a type Of 9TH
ers. "The steam from which the ice is OBJ
tanned in winter is a narrow and shallow one
and has been observed as favorite resort for
ducks and geese Of the neighborhood. This
is easily accounted for by the fact that the
bed of the stream is covered with a rank
growth of water-plants. There are reasons
enough in the above description why the ice
from this semi-stagnant stream should not be
used. Large storehouses have also been no.
tieed on small bodies Of water collected in a
natural basin, without inlet or outlet. II
dealers south, or in large cities, are obliged
to purchase ice from country storehouses, 1t
is due their patrons that some inquiry should
be made as to the source from which it is
obtained" The legislature of Connecticut
has passed law that, "Any person who
shall sell, or offer to sell, for family or hotel
use, any ice cut OF taken from pond or lake
into which any sewer empties, or from such
part of any river or other stream as is below
and within two miles of the outlet of any
sewer entering the same, shall be fined fifty
dollars for each offense."
