Trees which yield gutta-purcha are

young trees of the best varieties has
not kept pace with the destruction.

The moon has been called a dead
globe, but if its internal fires can give
it any claims to life it is certainly a
living corpse. The signs of renewal
of volcanic action, which began to be
discussed century ago, are now not
merely scientific nuts to be cracked by
the astronomC rs, but they are claimed
to be facts for the people.
Calf and other skins are made to
resemble very closely alligator skins by
very ingenious process. A photo
graph having been made of a genuine
alligator hide, copy of it is produced
in bichromate of gelatine, which gives
in relief all the curious markings, and
from this latter relief representation a
metal dye is readily executed. This
die is pressed heavily on the cheap
leather, with the result of making it
look like the leather manufactured
from the skin of the alligator as to de.
cieve experts unless it is handled and
examined. Any suitable stain can be
impaired to the Fictitious product
Professor P. G. TAFT remarked that
lightning is 100000 times as brilliant
as it appears to us, since the eye re-
quires one-tenth of second to receive
the full light of the flash, while the
flash itself lasts only about one-mill
ionth of a second. AS we see the
landscape under the light Of a spark
from the clouds it is 1000 times less
bright than when Illuminated by the
sun but if the lightning lasted one
tenth of second, SO that we could re-
alize it's full intensity. it would blind
us with the brilliancy of 100 suns.

Some of the English medical jour
mails have already begun to point out
the great Importance of not over-feed-
ing infants with starchy foods, such
as bread, farina, Cruel, etc., as the
warm season approaches. According
to authorities like Sir James Paget,
such overlooking is fruitful cause of
the large infant mortality in warm
weather. The one article most neces-
sary to the life of child is water.
On rising in the morning always
put on the shoes and stockings the
first thing. Never walk about in the
Z bare feet, or stand on oil cloth. Even
m the summer time this is dangerous
and unhealthy practice
One of the best cures for Group, and
one which is always at hand, is to dip
strips of flannel in very hot water and
then bind tightly about the throat.
Remove as soon as cold and apply 9TH

cured by laying several thicknesses of
flannel in hot water and laying it
upon the chest.
One of the best and most strength

to give to a delicate child, is made by
beating up an egg in tumbler with a

The nourishment in the egg and milk
combined sustain the system all day
if nothing else is taken.

In an article on curious interjections
the London Standard says: "Hurrah!"
is another interjection that had a pow
erful significance. 1t was an appeal
to the god Thor. and was derived from
the words "tur aie," or "thor aid" ct
tering this battle cry believers of the
god dashed upon their foes. Little
does the young lady who cries "hur-

triumph as the return or failure to re-
