Little Joe. the NeWsb0y.

Little Joe first appeared on the streets
of New York two years ago. He was
small and slight, with great brown eyes
and pnched lips that always Wore smile.
Where he came from nobody knew and
few cared. His parents. he said. were
dead. and he had no friends; it was a
hard life. Up at four O'Clock in the morn
ing. after sleeping IN a dry goods box or
in an alley. he worked steadily till late
at night. He was misused at first. Big
boys stole his papers. or crowded him out
of a warm place at night, but he never
complained; the tears would well up in
his eyes but were quickly brushed away,
and new start bravely made. Such con-
duct won him friends. and after little no
boy dared to play tricks on little Joe.
But the hard work and exposure began
to tell on his weak constitution. He kept
growing thinner and thinner. but the pleas

he woke one morning, after working hard
selling "extras." to find himself too weak
to move He tried his best to get upon
his feet. but it was a vain attempt.
Where is little Joe?" was the univer-
sal inquiry. Finally he was found in
secluded corner, and good-natured hack
man was persuaded to take him to the
hospital at Flatbush, where he said he
once lived. Every dav one OF the bows
went to see him On Saturday. a news
bov, who had abused him at first and
learned 20 love him afterwards, found him
sitting up in his cot. his little blueveined
hand stretched out upon the coverlet.

Little Joe was dead. His sleep was calm
and beautiful. The trouble and anxiety
on his wan face had disappeared; but the
expression was still there. Even in death
he smiled. That night 100 boys met in
front of the City Hall. They telt that they
must express their sense of loss in some
way, but how they did not know. Finally
they passed a resolution which reads as
follows:

THE CAROLINE ISLANDS.

The Caroline Islands ara remark
able group OF coral formations in the
Northern Pacific. They are perhaps of
no strategic importance, since they lie
on the road to nowhere in particular;
but from the point of view of the arch
biologist they are interesting in the eS-
treme. Certain Dutch Davigators, who
visited them nearly generation ago.
returned to Europe with wonderful
stories concerning the gigantic iuins
that had been discovered on some of
the smaller islets at the eastern end of
the archipelago; but it was not until
1883 that anything approaching to a
systematic survey of the ground was
undertaken. In that year the British
ship Espiegle touched at many of
the islands. and those officers who
went ashore found that the mag
nificence of the remains had
not been exaggerated. The most i'm
posing ruins are at hIetalanim harbor.

FLAX PRODUCTION.

The area in flax has declined heavily
in recent years in Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, and increased largely in
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska
and Dakota. The crop of last year is
about fifty per cent. larger than that Of
the census year, or nearly eleven mill
ions of bushels of seed apparently.
There is little now produced in any
Eastern State. 1t has been seeded in
preference to wheat on large areas Of
the Northwest during recent years.
A comparison of the returns of the
United States Census of 1880, for the
crop year 1879, with the returns OF sew.
eral of the flax-growing States for
1884, exhibits these local changes of
crop area in striking light. 1t shows
a tendency to enlargement of flax cult.

POPULAR MEDICINE.

Popular medicine and hygiene are be.
coming everywhere the fashion. Pub
lie sentiment and action are aroused in
regard to all manner of sanitary and
and curative measures. When men of
distinction are il!, the conditions Of
their pulse, temperature and respiration
are telegraphed all over the civilized
world, to be read at the breakfast table
in the morning newspapers. Their
medicines are infinitely described; dia-
grams of the course Of bullet, or
startling pictures of microscopic Sec
tons of tumors, or views of cholera
germs, appear in our daily papers; and
in the most popular family magazines
we read articles upon the ANATOMY of
the BRAIN" or ''how to trap soil
pipe" We have o mothers magazine
devoted to improvements in baby-feed-
ing and the scientific development of
the infant mind. The book stores
abound in popular works upon every
medical topic, from the subject of sing
ers' sore threats to the treatment of
of sea-sickness. consumption or the
opium habit. A great deal OF all this.
especially the newspaper medicine, is
fostered by maudlin craving for every
detail of that which is exciting or hor-
rible. 1t is to cater to the same kind
of feeling that newspapers describe
how many Jumps of sugar q condemned
murderer took in his coffee on the
morning of his hanging. The germ
theory, too. has given o great impetus
to popular medicine.
The germ appeals to the average
mind: it is something tangible; it may
be hunted down, captured, colored and
looked at through microscope, and
then, in all its varieties, it can be held
directly responsible for so much dam
age. There is scarcely farmer in the
country who has not read of the germ
theory. A cowboy in Arizona was shot
dead in the saddle recently by a COM
rade for the insult implied by calling
him . '.microber'
Still, a great deal Of this popular
medical talk and instruction is the out
come of an earnest desire to learn to
alleviate the growing evils of heredity
and environment, especially in over
crowded cities. The importance of a
universal knowledge Of, and attention
to. the laws of physiology and hygiene
is becoming more and more appreci-
ated, and the elements of these subjects
are taught in the public and private
schools.-Dr. W. G. Thompson, in
Popular Science Monthly.

MOhair is to take a front rank
among fashionable fabrics this winter.
This. however. must not be COMPOUNDED
with the oid-time mohair alpaca. 1t is
characteristic of the two nations that,
while the English have tried unswerv-
ingly to induce the world to wear al
paca from motives of charity to the
suffering wcavers, the French manu-
facturers have quietly taught their en-
ployes new methods of weaving, and
thus revived the industry by changing
its channel. A large proportion of the
new boucles and bourettes of the
season are of mohair, or mohair and
silk, the identical alpaca, warp and
wool. but gloriiied and apoth esized by
French genius. Before the weather be-
comes cold enough to call for heavy
clothes, these mOhairs will come in ad-
mirably. They are much worn in
France, and are made very plainly,

What Causes Sea-Sickness.

Still another explanation of sea-sick-
ness was furnished by the explorer. DR..
r. Neuhauss, at . recent meeting Of
the Berlin Medical Society. He con-
siders sea-sickness to be simply slight
attack of uremia, blood-poisoning
caused as his experiments 60 to show
by the diminished activity of the kid
neys at sea. He recommends the use
Of the hydrate of choral on the third or
fourth day of the sickness. but con-
dennis all other so called remedies as
useless. Alcoholic stimulants he con-
siders injurious to sea-sick patients.
According to DR.. Neuhauss, only three
per cent. of mankind are proof agains'
sea-sickness, and about the same num-
Der resist all remedies. Y. Post
