When John Howard, the philanthro-
pist, was owing Of fever, he said to his
friend Adn iral Freshman. ''My mode
OF life has rendered it impossible that /
should get rid of this fever. If | had
lived as you do, eating heartily of ami
NAL food and drinking wine, / might,
perhaps, by altering my diet, be able 10
subdue it. But how can such q man as
am lower his diet, who has been ac-
customed for years to live upon veget-
ables and water, a little bread and a lit
tie teal have no method of lowering
my nourishment, and therefore | must
die. IL is such Jolly fellows as you,
Priestman, who get over these fevers. -
An lnglish magazine asks; what
do temperance people and vegetarians
think OF these words and adds that
they mean that ye~getarianism and
total abstinence kept him too weak to
resist illness"
As n matter OF fact this may have
been so, but Towards words, prove ,ust
the contrary. They prove only that he
was governed by the radical notions of
his day. believed that a fever required
depletion by meager diet and blood
letting, whereas the modern notion is
just the reverse. Fever patients need
highly concentrated food and stimu-
lants Of all kinds. Hence it is that
patients accustomed to plain living and
the moderate use Of alcohol or to total
abstinence are more susceptible than
others to the effects of stimulants when
they are required. 1t is your high
livers and old soakers- that are when
i'll not easily rescued by stimulants.
Tor the stimulants have lost their effect.

Pearls deteriorate of age, contact with
acids, gas and ~noxious vapors Of all
sorts. This is especially true OF all
pierced pearls. Various means of re-
storing them have been tried, but expe-
rience shows them to be useless. The
est way to preserve pearls is to wipe
them with a clean linen cloth after be-
ing worn, and deposit them, wrapped in
linen, in a closed box or casket. A
leading importer of pearls advises that
pearl necklaces, which are liable to
deteriorate by coming in contact with
the skin, DO restrung once a year, as
drawing the silk thread out and in
through the pierced parts tends to
cleanse the pearls.
In Oeylon, we are assured, on fairly
good authority, that when it is desired
10 restore the luster to Oriental pearls
the pearls are allowed to be swallowed
by chickens. The fowls with this prec-
ious diet are then killed, and the pearls
regained in a white and lustrous state.

49, HHN""E' 49," sect
In all countries there are disaffected
members, and the Nihilists of hussia
are what the dynamiters are in ng-
land. War would only divert the peo-
pie from the doctrines of the cause. As
long rs there is a standing army of
= 1000, 900 men in Russia the Russian
has but little hope for constitutional
government. This force will always
check any outbreak. This immense
amount Of soldiers is SO distrihuted as
to dispel any idea of a successful Mill
istic uprising. Besides, the disaffec ton
is not so great as IS supposed.
The 4.ussian country districts have as
good a local self government rs there
exists IN the world. 1t is practically
democracy. Their local affairs are all
left to their own administration. The
effect OF this is to impiant principles of
independence and liberty in the people,
which may eventually result in BRING
ing about some change in the general
government. But this can never take
place while an army equal to that of
Xerxos stands ready for action at the
nod of an autocrat.

You ask me my methods Of work

light work, in my opinion, is not
only suicidal but fails to please the pub
lie. inc cannot write clearly at night.
I am perfectly convinced that good
work can only By accomplished by the
light OF day. The clcarest writers
have been those who held this view.
Balzac worked by night. and you can
feel night in his works. They are not
clearly written, and you cannot sec
through them. / wish 1 could make
you understand exactly what ! mean.
Morning thoughts are always fresher,
the brain is not incumbered and ones
style is less laLored. My father, who
was one OF the clearest writers, would
have sooner taken a dose Of poison than
have written at night.

light a match and apply it. Once / had
a servant girl who was rather ashamed
of this. So she said that she would
not set the fire at night. but would
prepare it in the morning and see
that it was ready for me. Down she
crept that day in cracking slippers
and dressing gown, and opening the
door Of my room very quietly en-
tered to find me already there hard at
work You should have heard that
poor girl apologize felt so sorry for
her that / set to work, brought up the
wood, and helped her to light the fire,
which she did very speedily.
Yes, day work is the only kind of
work | ever tried. Lamartine, Scribe
and Hugo were all disciples of the
morning. They declined to concentrate
their thoughts in the small radius Of
lamplight. The broadness of the morn
ing sky suited them far better.

DR.. Samuel Thompson, the founder
Of the Thompsonian school, grand ather
of the modern eclectic, botanic and
physio-medical schools, describes in his
book n method of treatment which may
have something in it. It is to make an
extract in the following way. Fill a
brass kettle heaping full OF the blossoms
of the red clover, add a little water,
place oye- a fire and let it boil for some
time; remove tho heads of the clover by
straining, and eyaporate the liquid
carefully to a solid extract. With this
material he directs a plaster to be made,
which acts as a causfic to the growth to
which it is applied; the patient to drink
freely Of a tea made from the red clover
blossoms. He claims to have cured
many casei of cancer in this way. No
recent mention of this cancer cure ap.
pears to have been made. II certainly
should be tested again, now that the
differences between tumors arc more
readily made out than forty or nifty
years ago when Thompson fourished

Living creatures in waters seem to

flowers or any vegetable substance in
the water and in forty-eight hours the
