collie is one of its leading symptoms,
which is relieved by pressure. ParaYy-
sis of the limbs is another well-markBd
indication. Sulphate of magnesia has
been recommended as an antidote. A
dram of sulphate of magnesia,
five drops of dilute sulphuric acid
and twenty drops of tincture of
hyosyamus in two tablespoonful of
camphor-water every two hours till the
bowels are relieved, and then thrice
daily for five days, is the treatment
which some consider most appropriate
under these circumstances.

A Change of Policy.

China is devoting what time it can
spare from the discussion of its struggle
with France to the consideration of a
decree which has been issued by the
Empress to the effect that, whenever
the time serves, railways will be per-
mitted in China. This announcement
has created no little excitement. and
has excited lively spirit of opposition
on the part of several sections of
Chinese society. The literati, the
walkers in old ways, the respecters of
the past, are dead against the innova-
ton. Confucius made no allusion to
railways in his writings, and as, had he
approved of them, he would doubtless
have said so, this is in their eyes final.
The class who objects to the introduc-
ton of European ways and customs are
even more averse to the change, but the
chief and by far the most serious oppo-
sition will come from the very numerous
class who obtain their living by the
navigation of the rivers and canals
which form the thoroughfares of China.
These regard the Introduction of rail
ways as direct attack upon their
means of getting livelihood y,

Ancient Trees.

Trees have been found in Africa which
were computed to be 5, $50 years old,
and a cypress in Mexico is said to have
reached Il still greater age. The Oldest
individual specimen of any species-in
fact the oldest living thing upon the
globe--is probably the cypress of Santa
Maria del Tule, in the Mexican State of
Oaxaca. If estimates of tree ages are
to be relied upon, the life of this veneer
able forest monarch may have spanned
the whole period of written history. AT
last accounts it was still growing, and
in 1851, when Humboldt saw it, it
measured forty-two feet in diameter, LAG
in circumference, and 3S2 feet between
the extremities oftwo opposite branches.
