he found the natives goldwashing in

results. If the same class Of men
should be attracted to the gold-bearing
districts of that barbaric country as
went to California in 40, remarks the
Current it is very probable that the
civilization Of the region would be
accomplished with degree of rapidly

It is popularity supposed that rice Is
the staple crop and universal food
throughout India This, however, Is
very far from being the case. for north
Of Behar wheat and other grains form
the chief articles of food, and in these
districts rice Is no part of the diet Of
the people. Rice is only grown in the
ieltas Of the great rivers and along the
western coast. and besides this 1t is
raised in patches in all hill valleys. In
those regions where rice is grown
LARGELY. however, 1t IS the only crop.
The Quality varies much according to
the place where it grows; even in a
single dlstriot.in Bengal it is said there
are as many as three hundred different
kinds.

In the German Agricultural Insti
tute at Halle much attention is paid
to improving breeds Of domestic ami
mails. Crossing of the domestic sheep
with the "mouflOn" or wild sheep OF
Corsica has been SO successful to the
fourth generation that it is now sup
posed that the "mouflon is the ances-
tor Of the domesticated focks. AID
iltiOnal light is expected to be thrown
upon the subject by the recent aces
sion in the gardens Of two new pairs
Of wild sheep, the American "bighorn'
and a Persian species, neither Of which
have ever before been seen in Europe
alive. Experiments as to crossing
these with domestic breeds will be
begun at once.

A German, who has studiously
watched every movement of the honey
lee, asserts that they are excellent
storm-warners. He says that on the
approach of thunder-storms, bees
otherwise gentle and harmless, become
very irritable, and will at once attack
anyone. even their usual attendant
approaching their hives. A succession
Of instances are given in which the
barometer and hygrometer foretold a
storm, the bees remaining quiet, and
no storm occurred; or the instruments
gave no intimation Of storm, but the
bees for hours before were irritable
and it came.

It is said that the permanenee OF
the California mountain forests Is
seriously threatened by the herds OF
sheep and cattle which are driven into
the mountains every year to grass.
From the foothills to the highest
meadows every blade of heritage and
every seeding shrub and tree is de-
voured. Young trees are barked and
ruined, and the roots of grasses are
trodden out by the hoofs of animals
The life of any forest in which all
Young trees are destroyed is limited to
the life of the full-grown trees which
compose it.

Neuralgia Of the Face.

Capt. John Orr, Pennington, Miss, has
been most intense sufferer from facial
neuralgia for over twenty years. lie has
had seventeen operations performed on
tn nerves-that Is, had them divided, cut
oil close to the bone from which they
emerge. But this never did him any good;
the most cvcrucia'inJ pain continued
without the least Interruption. lie often
wished for death 10 relieve him of the in
tolerable pain. The best physicians failed
TO relieve him. They finally advised him
TO consult Drs. Hartman s. Miller, at the
ST. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which
he did. They prescribed PERuNA, and
IN less than n month was entirely relieved
Of the pain. Before consulting these doc
tors the least touch TO any part of his face
or nose would cause the most fearful pain,
while now he can blow his nose and wipe
his face without the least fear of pain.
The captain Is grateful beyond measure
for this unexpected and unhoped for result.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kenner,oS Laurel street,
New Orleans, has been one of the great
est sufferers from Neuralgia of the face
during the past year that we have ever
heard of. From morning to night, and
from night to morning, there was one
constant, racking, tearing, burning pain,
extending clear around her head and deep
down through every muscle, tooth and
bone in her face. No rest and no sleep.
All physicians failed to relieve her, as
well as all remedies. She was constantly
in the most agonizing despair. She called
on DR.. Hartman, who said the cause was
chronic catarrh. He prescribed PERUNA
for her and now every pain has left her.
She feels like another person and can eat
heartily and sleep soundly.
