The Medical Electric Lamp.
Iscientifc American.

The electric lamp used for examining
Gen. Grants throat is manufactured by
agents of the Edison Light company. II
is mounted on hard rubber holder,
about seven inches long, having refec.
tor at the lamp end, by which the light
can be thrown to any desired angle. The
holder is connected by two sllk-coyered
wires to small storage battery carried
in tho pocket of the physician. The
light is turned on by simply pressing a
small button on the rubber holder, and
the quantity is governed by another
button convenient to the operator. The
lamp is inserted in the mouth almost to
the palate, with the reflector above the
lamp, which throws the light down the
throat.
The lamp has no unpleasant heat, and
gives light equal to half sperm can
die. The extreme simplicity of the
whole appliance makes 1t very valuable
to the physician and dentist.

[clymer's FOOD and Morals. VI

"a father, by prayer and precept and
hogging, had done his best to reform
his boy, whose staple diet was meat and
sausage and pie and cake at his meals,
with lunch between. The family physi-
clan said to the father: If you will put
leech back of each of your boys ears
once week for month, you will do
more to reform him than your preaching
and pounding will do in year The
father asked for the philosophy of this
prescription. why said the doctor,
your boy has bad blood, and too much
Of it; he must behave badly or hewould
burst Then said his father, I'll
change his diet from beef and pie to
hominy and milk"
In three months thereafter better
boy of his age could not be found in the
neighborhood. The acrid, biting, evil
blood had not become food for leeches,
but il had done its wicked work and
passed away; and a cooler, blander,
purer, safer blood had been supplied
from sweeter, gentler food sources"

A Thatohed Palace Of r1nd and brush.
wood Weakening the Monarch

AHN-@@4@N@
London TRUTH
We determined first to 90 and pay
Maukoroane, the thief or king of the
tribe, a visit, whose place we found
without difhculty--a common, large hut,
made Of mud plastered together with
brushwood and reeds, and coarsely
matched on the roof. The caves pro-
ected over the walls about three feet,
so that o veranda was formed around
the hut. The entrance was through a
yard which surrounded the hut. with a
wall Of brushwood seven feet high.
There was only one doorway, into
which we entered on smooth yard of
red clay.
Here, with their backs to the wall, sat
some men, probably the kings Lody-
guard. They were all more or less
dressed, having trousers patched with
every conceivable color and material,
some with hats, Others with old govern
ment helmets. The inside Of the hut was
lined with grey clay bearing quaint
figures and devices.
Opposite the door and close to the in
side wall lay man on a couch with q
folded-up shawl under his head. He
had on q red flannel shirt, blue coat,
very old cord trousers, and boots with
cloth tops, but no socks He was the
king. AT his head sat another person, the
queen, sitting like tailor, naked TO the
waist. She had quantity of beads
round her neck, of different celors, from
which hung charms and such useful arti.
eles as keys. The king was sound asleep,
but the queen and attendants were wide
awake. Round against the wall sat his
two princesses, or daughters. Then two
men smoking. Not one of them tool
the slightest notice of US.
At last / addressed the queen, and
wished her all the compliments of tn,
season. All then began to talk, OK
cert the king, who was still asleep, Te
keep them company ! took up th.
chorus Of an old song. They seemed
delighted at this, so | gave it to them
gain, laughing violently all thu
time, my friend imploring me t.
keep quiet lest l should wake the king
and incur his wrath but he did no
awake. We then offered the queen Gig
arettes, and the princesses and the two
men. The nearest princess chewed ne
cigarette. After sitting most OF al
hour we got up to go, and / nearly fel
over black baby lying on the floor
which yelled and woke the king. Up h
umped and greeted us most warmly
shaking hands and asking for ''bacco'
and also 'shillin."

'orthwith lit up, imploring me to Civ

d. M. Ferry & Co., the well-known Seedmen,
OF Detroit, Mich, announce that they are on
their feet again and ready and anxious to receive
orders for seeds from eocyy one Of their old Gus,
TONERS, and from as many new ones as feel
kindly disposed toward them. They are in con-
diion to fill promptly every order with new
seeds of the best quality
On January 1st their immense warehouse was
destroyed by fire. 1t was filed with probably
the largest sock of assorted seeds ever gathered
under one roof. Their books and papers were
all saved and every person who had ordered
seeds of them will be supplied with his usual
stock They had large quantities of seeds in
their warehouses On their seed farms, in the
hands of their growers and not yet delivered,
and on the way from Europe, which, together
with their fully stocked branch Seed Store in
Windsor, Ontario, close at band, and the free
and vigorous use OF the telegraph and cable, en-
abled them to secure II new stock in q remarka-
bly, short time.
Before the fire was subdued they had secure
new quarters and were devoting all their ener-
ges To their customers interests. In thirty days
from the fire they were in perfect working order
again.
When we consider the magnitude of their
business, the appalling destruction of property
at the most unfortunate season OF the year, we
doubt If the annals of history furnish case OF
such rapid recuperation. Such energy deserves
success.
