The Wealth of Chilli.

The worlds supply of nitrate of soda and guano has been obtained from the arid rainless west coast re- gions of South America. Along the southern coast of Peru are series of rocky, desolate islands on which no rain ever falls and only the gentlest breeZes sweep. There are at present, as there have been for centuries, my riads of sea birds along the coast, and they, with thousands of sea lions, live, breed and die upon these islands. Guano is a mixture of the excrement of these seals and birds, the decom- posed bodies of both and the bones of the fishes which have been their food.
 These deposits have been aceumulat- ing for centuries and in many places are hundreds of feet deep, baked into solid mass by the tropical sun. These masses of guano were worked by the Peruvian Government from 1S46, when their value as fertilizers became understood, up to the war with Chili in 1880. The annual ship ments to Europe and the United States amounted to millions of tons, valued at between S20,000,O00 and $50, 100000, all above the expense of working being clear profit. This should have enriched Peru, but it merely enriched her governing classes. During the war the Chilians seized the islands and annexed them to Chilli There have been no exports of guano since, but the Chilian Government is making preparations to resume the shipments. and 1t will probably be in the market again next year.

Sick Hea da ache.

This complaint is the result of eat ing too much and exercising too little. Nine times in ten the cause is in the fact that the stomach was not able to digest the food last introduced into it, either from it's having been unsuitable or excessive in quantity. A diet of bread and butter. with ripe fruit or berries, with moderate and continuous exercise in the open air sufficient to keep up a gentle precipitation, would cure almost every case in a short time. Two teaspoonsful of powdered char coal in half glass of water and drank often gives instant relief. Sick head ache with some persons comes on at regular intervals, and is the signal of distress which tho stomach puts out to inform us that there is an over-alka- line condition of its fluids; that it needs natural acid to restore the bat tery to its normal working condition. When the first symptoms of headache appear take a tablespoonful of lemon juice clear fifteen minutes before each meal and the same dose at bedtime. Follow this up until all symptoms are passed, taking no other remedies, and you will soon be able to go free from this unweleome nuisance. Many will object to this because the remedy is too simple; but many cures have been effected in this way.

A German writer estimates the
 number Of blind persons in the world at about 100000. This is not a mere guess, but is based on accr"ate sta tistics, which show that on the aver age there is one blind person among every l400 |; hence, as this planet has about 1.400,000,000 inhabitants, this would make 100000 blind folks,
 The European countries differ some. what in the proportion of blind in- habitants. In Austria one person is
 blind of every 1885 !; in Sweden, of 14lS in France. of ll6l 1; in Prussia, of Ill 1; in England, of l037. Then follow, wi;h still larger percentage, Russia. Norway and Finland. The largest number of blind persons is to be found in Egypt At Cairo one person among twenty is blind, and Dr. Frank of Vienna once encountered in one mornings ramble almost one thousand blind men and women. Many are also found in China and Japan. Germany has the largest number of asylums for the blind, namely, 35; then follows England with 26, France lS. Austria Hungary 10, Italy 9, Belgium 6, etc. America, Asia and Africa together have only asylums

Wonders of Water.

The tannin of tea is thrown down by the lime of hard water, so that if tea is infused in hard water at least one-third is wasted Hard water used for boiling meat and vegetables extracts their juices less thoroughly than soft water does. Potatoes con- tain 75 per cent. of water; turnips, 90 per cent; milk, S73 parts. The quail ty of water when pure is not impaired by stagnancy nor liable to fermenta- tion, decay or putreseence; it would keep 5000 years and be neither better nor worse for keeping.
 Four closed jars, buried seventeen centuries at Pompeii, and taken from there, were found to contain atom for atom as the sams free air we breathe. The same is said of water. An influx of organic refuse into a stream will affect it for several Iuiles in it's course, but at a longer distance the oxidation of the foreign matter will take place and will restore the water to purified state.-Philadelphid NetnS

I never think We can commence a good habit too early; so I have always had my babies put into the bath from the time they were a fortnight old. says lady correspond ent. My last baby. however. proved an exception. For five weeks after his birth l was too i'll to attend to these things myself, and the nurse was too ignorant or too idle. The conse- quence was, when was able to take charge of the young gentleman my self, tn ere had to be battle. I had the water slightly warm. so as to cause no chill, and when baby was un- dressed popped him straight in. The little man kicked and screamed for a minute or two, but soon ceased. For the next two or three mornings, there was slight resistance, fainter every sAihOg uAbSA thoNs AiS Ni glhB was HSA formed when he had to be taken out of the bath; not when he was put in.
 A warm or tepid bath should be given every night, until the child is three or four years of age; then bath twice week is quite sufficient After cold bath the children should be well and briskly rubbed all over with a coarse towel; this is of great import ance. If child displays symptoms of weakness in the spine, indicated by general lassitude and an inclination to stoop, il is a good plan to put hand. full of very coarse salt into bowl oi water, and sponge the little ones back and chest with this when it is in the bath. No one, either old or young should stay in cold water more than g minute or two at the outside.

ThOrougllhreds.

The English thoroughbred Is essen tlally of pure Oriental blood, although doubtless somewhat modified by un- known admixtures of that of the orig inal British horse, before the days of stud books. and the most careful breed ing, which has prevailed during the past two hundred years. He is much larger than the Arab, and preferred by modern breelass aS a source of the highest qualities of tho horse-speed, bottom, style, action, and constitution. He has given the finest eharacteris- tic to all the breeds of England and America, excepting only the native breeds of ponies, and of the heavy draft horses of England and Scotland, which last affiliate closely with the heavy horses of Flanders and Den mark.
 Examples of this improvement are seen in the superb Cleveland bays, used chiefly as carriage horses, and in the excellent Suffolk Punch, an admir- able horse-of-all-work, while the Eng fish hunter, which Is not a breed, but a high -bred grade, is doubtless the best saddle-horse and heavy weight carrier for rough work, to be found in the world in fact. typical war-horse for the use of modern warfare.-Amsri- n,.

How Many Eggs VIII a Hon LayI

We often read of hens that lay 20O eggs year, says the Farm and Gar dell, but such statements do more harm than good, by inducing theinexperi- enced to believe such to bo a fact Any one who Is familiar at all with poultry knows that during the fall all hens undergo the process of moulting or shedding of feathers. This requires usually about three months. or one hundred days. As there are only 365 days in year, we have 265 days left after deducting the moulting period. If hen lays regularly an egg every other day she win lay l3S eggs; but she will probably lose three months in matching out her broods; even if she Is a non-sitter she will take resting place. As moulting is heavy drain on the system. but few hens lay dur ing that process, though there are ex- captions, and where the number of eggs exceed one every two days, it will be found that corresponding reduct. lon occurs during some portion of tho year While we admit that certain in- dividual hens have been known to lay as many as 15o Co even l75 eggs in a year, such cases are rare; and if ono has flock of twenty hens or more he should be satisfied if there Is an aver age of one hundred eggs year for the whole flock. or rather nine dozen Four dozen out of the nine should TO- alize thirty cents per dozen, three dor en should bring about twenty cents per dozen, an two dozen should real ize fifteen cents per dozen. on an aver ago of about twenty three cents. Of course this calculation may be wrong. but 1t will convey an Idea of what may

The Mussel.

What really prevents the mussel be- ing more extensively used In this country is the dread of it's poisonous qualities. This evil reputation is not unfounded, though in reality a death or an illness from mussel poisoning is much rarer than R similar misadyent- ure from eating the wrong kind of fungus. Along the coast, in their natural condition, especially when picked from the coppered piles of wharves and piers, they are sometimes ll-conditioned. But reared in beds, the are invariably plump, d,licate in flavor, and perfectly safe as food. It is gen erally something extraneous rather than any disease inherent in the mus sel, that occasions the bad repute un- der which they labor The worst case happened some sixty years ago. when no fewer than thirty people in Leith showed serious symptoms of poison ing, and two of them died; but it was proved that the mussels had been gathered from the copper sheathed piles of the docks. It is true, however, that under certain circumstances, pu- crescent sewage matter and the pois- onous spawn of It's enemy, the star fish, have been believed to make the mussel unwholesome food. At par ticular periods, also. various molluses are injurious, while at others they are perfectly wholesome The oyster, though not actually poisonous when out of season, is by no means suitable for the table, and probably the mussel shares its peculiarities in this respect. A near ally of the mussel, the Mediter- ranean Noah's Ark shell. is eaten with perfect safety during the entire year, except summer months---a fact well known to the Neapolitans, who rarely infringe the rule without disastrous consequences. Every sort of shell fish is liable to this drawback; three years ago two children were alleged to have died at Rothesay from the eating of periwinkles. The nature of the ground has likewise a marked effect on the quality. In Falmouth Bay, some mussels, picked over the place where copper lobe cropped out, were so impregnated with verdigris that a hundred of them calcined in a erucible yielded a bead of metal as big as a pins head. However, if proper pre-. cautions are taken, the mussel is per fectly safe. 1t is, moreover, so easily cultivated that. in Kiel Bay, branches laid down in the sea are taken up two or three years later laden with mark etable crop The alarm produced by the idea of its noxious qualities un- doubtedly does much to stop its con sumption. Fashion, nevertheless, is not guiltless in the matter. Al one time. for example, the mussel was ex- tensively eaten in Edinburgh. Now adays it is in such scant demand that a Newhayen tishwife is recorded, in describing the condition of asriritless sister. to have lamented that she nev- CT "rose aboon mussels. ."-London 7elegIUph.
