How Trees Prevent Malaria.

A fact recorded by an English officer,
who served many years in India, shows
that trees do prevent malaria. The
troops at a certain station in Bengal
were so often attacked by sickness that
it was determined to remove them to a
more healthful locality. The officer was
ordered to select suitable site for a
camp. As he was unable to dnd a
more healthy site in the neighborhOod,
he thought that Encouragement of the
Sepoys' barracks might secure their
health.
He had noticed that between the OIL
GERS quarters and large swamp there
were several large trees. He also OBJ
served that there was no sickness
among the officers or their servants eX-
cept in the case of the inmates of one
house, which beisg unprotected by the
foliage, was exposed 10 the wind that
blew over the swamp.
Some little distance from the parade
ground there was a belt of trees. To
the rear of this belt he removed the
SepOys' huts, 80 as TO shelter them from
the miaSma of the swamp. The regi-
ment thus located remained free from
fever for several years. Then the trees
were cut down, and malaria immedi-
ately attacked the men.
The officer also records that at Prone,
Burmah, one company of soldiers We're
free from malarial fever, whilst their
comrades suffered severely from its at
tacks. Investigation showed that the
healthy company was sheltered from
the miasma by a mound covered with
trees, which interpOsed between their
barracks and the nelghbOrIng swamp.
The sick soldiers lived III barracks
which were unsheltered from the wind
when it ble " across the malarIal swamp.

Running for the Train.

More than one medical authority has
admOnIshed people of the danger OF
running to catch train, especially for
those who are subject to heart disease,
one of the most common OF ailments
in later days. The following may serve
to emphasize the warning a few days
since railway clerk aged 20, was
found dead in sitting posture in a
second class railway carriage when it
arrived at WOolwich. At the inquest
it was stated that deceased had been
suffering from heart-disease for two or
three years. and 1t was supposed that
he had hurried to catch the train that
morning. The surgeon who had made
the post-mortem examination stated
that the heart was enlarged. Another
case of death from eXertion ~ a man
suffering from diseased heart has Oe-
CURED. A single man at Brixton rail-
way station, while pulling on the levers
suddenly fell backwards, and on the ar
rival of surgeon was pronounced to
be dead. The widow stated at the in
quest that the deceased had been treat
ed for an affection of the heart for
some time. In this case there does
not seem to have been post-mOrtem
examination. Yet another death from
exertion has occurred A young lady,
aged 16 years, expired suddenly in a
gymnasium after performing a feat
of skill. According TO the medical evil
dence she was suffering from valvular
disease of the heart. How often has the
hurry to catch train, or some other
sudden exertions, throwing extra work
on dilated, fatty or otherwise diseased
heart, resulted in fatal syncope. 1t is
our duty to warn such patients of the
risk they will run if they allow any con-
sideratiOn of business or convenience
to tempt them to a single rash act of
this kind.

A Castle Garden Romance.

Among the emIgrants who arrived at
Castle Garden recently, was an old
woman, bent with age. She Las lived
her allotted threescoTe year and ten and
her feebleness made her an object of
universal pity. On the steamer she oc-
cupied sitting quarters in the steerage,
but her companions were kind to her,
and the voyage was made as endurable
as possible She said that her name
was JanOwski and that she came from
Cracow, Poland. She told an interpre-
ter that she had a daughter somewhere
In the States, near the Atlantic Ocean,
but where she did not know. The gov
ernment officials finally decided to send
her back to Poland under the law
which prohibits the lanling of emf
grants who are likely TO become public
burdens. The old woman protested,
but in vain
The day Tor sailing arrived and she
was told that she must go on board of
the vessel. Age had made her childish
and she sank upon the rude wooden
seats aud cried as il her heart would
break. An official gathered up her
bundle of clothing, when the shawl
which vas wrapped around it be-
came loose and the clothing fell out.
An envelope, torn and Soiled, fell on
the floor, and the official picked it up.
1t bore the postmark of Newark, n. J.,
and was addressed to the old woman in
Cracow, Poland.
Where did you get this?' asked the
interpreter of the old woman.
My daughter Jennie sent that she
replied sadly. She is my only child and
ali that have on earth
1t was decided TO take Mrs. JanOwsH
to Newark and endeavOr to find her
daughter. A gentleman, who had be-
come interested in the old woman, vol
unteered to go with her, and soon after
they started. Arrived at Newark in
quiries were made. and a Hebrew
woman was found who said that she
knew Jennie very well.
Come this way, will show you, she
said.
The trio proceeded up Canal street
until they came to a frame house in
front of which a crowd had assembled.
Jennie is to be married to-day, said
the guide; the ceremony is just being
performed
The old woman forced her way
the crowd in the narrow entry.
In the neat but pOorly-furnished room
the wedding guests had assembled.
The bride, attired in dress of spOtless
lawn, trimmed with fresh daisies, stood
beside the groom, a fine looking young
Hebrew, awaiting the words which
would make them one. A eommOtion
was heard IN the hallway and, as the
door separated, the BRIDE uttered cry
OF 'Motherl and the old woman rushed
into her arms. The scene between the
mother and daughter was very affecting
and tears ofioy were shed at the nuptial
feast

The Presidents Flower.

President Cleveland's favorite
flower is the American daisy, and he
has given the several pots containing
handsome specimens of them in a high
state of cultivation the place of honor
In the White House eonservatories.
On either side of them are grouped
some specimens of the English daisies,
but as the latter do not grow to be
half as large as the former, they suffer
by being in such close proximity.

Time to Wear Glasses.

When persons ind their eyes becom-
ing dry and itching in reading, as well
as those who find it necessary to place
an object more than fourteen inches
from their face to read, they need spec
tacles. Spectacles sold by peddlers and
jewellers generally are hurtful to the
eyes of those who read much, as the
lenses are made of inferior glass and
are not symmetrically ground. Unless
the lenses are mounted in suitable
frame and properly placed before the
eve discomfort will arise from their pro-
longed use. The proper time TO begin
wearing glasses is Just as soon as the
eyes tire on being subjected to pro-
longed use.
