Properties Of The Herb From Which
 Cocaine Is Obtained Its Use II

Properties Of The Herb From Which
 Cocaine Is Obtained Its Use In Peru.
 From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
 As to the effects of long continued-use, Scrivener states: ''I have seen hundreds of Indians during my residence in Bolivia who have chewed cocoa-leaf from youth upward, many of whom had attained their S0th year, who showed sign of being affected by the plant" Other reporters do not give such glowing accounts of the harmlessness of this powerful stimulant They say that it dis orders the digestion, induces loss of appetite, iaundice, emaciation and dropsy, causes muscular weakness and trembling, mental imbecility, and, in foreigners unaccustomed to it's use, delirium and insanity From these conflicting reports, it would appear that coca, like alcohol and tobacco, may be useful or poisonous, according to the quanti- ty taken the circumstance under which it is used, and the personal peculiarities of the person taking it.
 Like alcohol and tobacco, in moderate amounts, coca decreases the natural wear and tear of the body and at the same time lessens the sense of fatigue and increases the sense of well-being. Unlike them, it acts as benumber of sensation upon the mouth, throat and stomach-as an an@sthetic, in fact. This accounts for the power of endur- ing hunger and thurst, which all who have used it refer to as remarkable. The same anasthetic effects seem to be produced upon the muscular system, hence the power to en- dure fatigue, which is equally remarkable. The active principle cocaine, is not volatile, like the nicotine of tobacco but is destroyed by the excessive heat, hence the leaves when so smoked do not produce any characteristic effects.
 The manner in which the Peruvian uses the coca leaf is described as follows: He carries the dried leaves with him and also small flask filled with lime or wood ashes. He takes small handful of leaves, removes the woody stems and hard filaments and chews the remainder to pulp. This is made into ball which he pierces with splinter which has first been wetted and covered with ashes or lime. This has a pungent taste and excites flow of saliva, part of which is swallowed, the remainder ejected. The ball is kept in the mouth for about an hour, when it is replaced by another formed in the same manner.
 For medicinal purposes tea made from the leaves may be used, or an extract, wine or tincture may be employed. It has been given in nervous headaches, persistent drow siness, lowness of spirits or melancholy, and as substitute for morphine in the treat ment of the habit of using these drugs. In a recent walking match at Louisville, one of the female contestants was enabled to pre- vent herself being distanced through the happy thought of an eminent doctor present, who gave her frequent doses of wine of coca. The pedestrienne felt no more fatigue and came back to the track in fine style, thanks to science

 The teacher was going over the good old story of King Solomon and his wisdom. f'Now, dears, who was the great Queen who travelled so many miles and miles to see this King?" Silence prevailed in the class. "Why you do know, all of you. The Queen who came to see the King?' The name had been forgotten by the class. In order to help them, the kind but misguided teacher began to offer little assistance. "You do know, I am sure. The name begins with s, and she was very great Queen" Just then up shot little hand and out spoke the trium- phant voice of the little auburn haired girl. She transixed the little school room with the following brief statement: FI know, it was the Queen of Spades. es."-Chicago Living Church.

 E1-Cadet Whitaker, who was accused of biting his own ears off at West Point, was not crushed by the result of his trial Hay ing studied law, he was admitted to the South Carolina bar. He recently made his first argument before jury, and is gener- ously praised by Charleston Democratic paper, which says he did better, than the average young lawyer. The jury disagreed, which was all Whitaker expected.

 A plan has been adopted in the town of Shrewsbury, England, for the utilization of sewage, the success of which is said to be perfect. As the sewage enters the works, clay, charcoal and blood are added as deo- dorizers, and, after thorough mixing, 8 sul- phate of alumina is added, by which the dis solved and suspended impurities are quickly precipitated in one or the other of the set tling tanks, from the fourth of which the water runs without further treatment into the river. The sewage as it enters the works contains about thirty-seven per cent. of sus- pended organic and inorganic matter, but in the affluent water there are found only the merest traces of .either...ByAexperiment it

sun,,pnt and the Atmo.phere.

Prof. s P Langley at the Royal Institution. ]
 There Is, we may remember, a passage in which Plato iIquires what would be the thoughts of man who, having lived from infancy under the roof of a cavern, where the light outside was inferred only by it's shadows, was brought for the first time into the full splendoIs of the sun. We may have enjoyed the metaphor without thinking that it has any physical application to ourselves, who appear to have no roof over our heads, and to see the suns face daily; while the fact is that if we do not see that we have roof over our heads in our atmosphere, and do not think of it as one, it is because it seems transparent and colorless.
 Now. I wish to ask your attention tonight to considerations in some degree novel, which appear to me to show that it is not transpa- rent as it appears, and that this seeming colorlessness is a sort of delusion of our senses, owing to which we have never in our lives seen the true color of the sun, which is in reality blue rather than white, as it looks, so that this air all about and above us is act ing like colored glass roof over our heads, or a sort of optical sieve, holding back the excess of blue in the original sunlight, and letting only the white sift down to us.
 will first ask you, then, to consider that this seeming colorlessness of the air may be delusion of our senses, due to habit, which has never given us anything else to compare it with.
 If that cave had been lit by sunshine com ing through reddish glass in it's roof, would the perpetual dwel1er in it ever have had an idea but that the sun was reda How is he to know that the glass is 'colored" if he has never in his life anything to compare it with2 How can he have any idea but that this is the sum of all the suns radiation (corre- spending to our idea of white or colorless hght) and will he not think that there is no color in the glass so long as he cannot go out side to see3 Has this any suggestion for us, who have none of us ever been outside our crystal roof to seea
 We must all acknowledge in the abstract that habit is equally strong in us whether we dwell in a cave or under the sky, that what we have thought from infancy will probably appear the sole possible explana- tion, and that if we want to break it's chain, we should put ourselves, at least in imagina- tion, under conditions where it no longer binds us

snatch more snakes scientifically. Casting beyond big fellow, he would jerk the hook toward it, and, catching it foul, had plenty of fun with each before it was landed His dog, large mongrel of very low degree, helped out the sport As one of the early snakes was jerked out, the dog seized it by the middle, and in return it embraced the animal by the ear. The cur sang for some minutes, but carried to close the contract it had undertaken, and killed the snake. The owner waited some time to see the dog swell and die, but the snake bite seemed to act on it tonic, and when the sport was resumed and even developed highly ichthyophagous tendencies. The fun was carried on until quite good sized basketful of snakes had died the death

has been found that in this water fish will live for months. The deposit is then re- moved from the tank, and, by means of pres sure and artificial heat, is deprived of it's moisture, till it obtains the constancy and appearance of dry earth, in which condition it meets ready sale as ''guano."
 An account of assessment associations do- ing business in New York State has been published, giving the incomes of the socie- ties and the amount of money paid by them in death claims and expenses. From this account it appears that the Knights of Honor, which is the largest association in the matter of income, carried on it's work last year at an expense of only 1-1O per cent. of the sum paid out in death claims. With the Ameri- can Legion of Honor the ratio of expense to death claims was only 3 3-10 per cent The third largest, the Royal Arcanum, had an expense account of 9-1O per cent, as com pared with death claims. But these are ex- ceptional associations. On the other hand, there is the Mutual Reserve Fund Life asso- citation, whose premium collections were nearly as large as the Royal Arcanum, but 
 death claims, whi}e the Globe Benefit asso- citation makes the astonishing exhibit of pay ing out in expenses more than fifteen times as much as it paid out in death claims. These facts indicate that there are at least several kinds of assessment insurance.
 G. Tommasi Crudelli, professor of hygiene in the University of Rome, has been investi- gating malaria. He does not believe that masmatic exhalation brings malaria, but charges it to microscopical organisms which are bred in the earth and being carried into the atmosphere by air currents are inhaled by man. In order that the process of germ propagation and infection should go on, Professor Tommasi Crudelli says three con ditions are necessary: The atmosphere tenn perature must not be lower than 20o Celsius, certain degree of moisture must be in the earth and the earth must be porous. He points out that the drouths in the Roman Campagna in 1881 and 1882 freed that fever devastated territory of malaria, and finds proof of the theory that the Etruscans knew of the sanitary advantages of draining the soil, in the ruins of ancient drainage systems that have been turned up in the ex- plorations made near Rome. He approves the recommendation of the American physi- clans that arsenic be used as preventive Acting on his advice the Southern Italian railroad company has been giving it's labor CTS daily doses of arsenic. Dr. Richi, the company's physician, states the effect to have been as follows: Out of 445 men who took the drug daily, 338 were either cured of fever already contracted, or were protected against attack; in forty-three cases the effect was not noticeable, and in seventy-four doubt ful

Snake Fishing.

From the St. Louis Republican,
 Joe Forshaw started on Thursday for Bluff lake to catch fish, but met with no success. Wandering along he came to shallow which was simply alive with snakes, mostly the water moccasin. For fun's sake he dropped minnow among them, and found it taken greedily. The snake fought gamely, but was caught and landed, and the question then arose of how the hook was to be extracted. Stones and club at last settled the snake, and the hook and gut as we'll The oattie' shaw pined for more. He therefore fixed up three hooks in a gang, and proceeded to
