Anisic Acid.

The already long list of new antipy-
retic remedies has been increased by
the addition of anisic acid, substance
obtained from the oil of anise seed. 1t
exists under the form of colorless
prismatic crystals, soluble in alcohol
and ether. 1t possesses antipyretic and
antiseptic properties similar to those of
salieylic acid. 1t also increases arterial
tension. 1t has, however, a mild tonic
effect in large doses, for when it was
injected in large quantities into the
veins of animals, epileptiform con-
WILSON'S were caused. It has been en-
ployed with success as an antiseptic in
the treatment of wounds, and seems,
when employed in this way, to exert
no poisonous effect.-Gazzetta Medica.

Cape Horn Route to China.

Captain Robert B. Forbes, of Boston,
has recently suggested to the Hydro
graphic Office new route for vessels
from the United States to ports in Japan
and Northern China. His suggestion
substantially is that vessels leaving
American ports during the months from
August to November inclusive, and ar
irving on the China coast during the
season of the northeast monsoon,
'.conld accomplish the voyage in
shorter time by the way Of Cape
Horn than by the route around the
Cape of Good Hope The researches
of the Photographic Office on this
point, though not conclusive, show APP
parently that this voyage can be made
via Cape Horn in about fifteen days less
than by the old passage north Of Aus
tralia and in about TWENTY-FIVE DAYS less
than by the passage south Of Australia.

Some years ago there was an excursion
steamer some miles above Niagara Falls.
There were many on the excursion, many
passengers, and the boat floated on down
toward the rapids; but the Captain ex-
pected to return in time to avoid all danger,
and they were laughing on the deck, when
one said to the Captain: 'Are you not
going too far DOWN." He said: 'No,
know what am about" After awhile he
told the engineer to turn and go up stream;
but the Captain found they were farther
down the rapids than he thought for. He
cried to the engineer: "Put on more
steam!" More steam was applied. But
still the steamer, with its freight of life,
kept going ON toward the rapids. The
Captain cried out to the engineer
Put On more steam" More steam
was applied, but still the vessel made
no Roadway upstream. The Captain
cried out: "Put on more steam, or we
are LOST" The engineer said: "We can't
put on any more steam; if we do wen
blow the boat to atoms" "Put on more
was applied, and the vessel floated up and
out into safety, and some tainted and all
were thankful that God had rescued
them from so great peril. Oh, are there not
some here to-day who are floating on down
toward the rapids; aye, they are in the
rapids going on toward the eternal
plunge? Put back! In Gods name, put
back. You say it takes greater struggle
You hold the oars with both hands, and
pull, pull, If need be, until the blood starts.
Pull for heaven. Now or never.

The first blow brought him to the dust and
he never had the courage to rise. Oh, how
important is the manner in which we re-

suppose that in hundreds of cases in this
house it was the first born that was taken.
Some people give what is to me very alb
surd reason for that. They say it is be-
cause the child is loved too much. do not
think that is possible. do not believe any
father or mother loved child too much.
You can not love your child too much.
TOD did not take your child because you
loved 1t too much. think this is the rea-
SON why God so often takes the first born.
IL is to transfer your affections to Heaven

THE RUSSIAN M.4RsHEs.

Russia has been for years engaged in
draining the Pinsk marshes They are
situated on the Russo-Polish confines
and are very much larger than Ireland.
In 1870. we believe, the Russian gov
eminent first took in hand seriously
the draining of this territory. which,
owing to being more OF less submerged,
and covered with Jungle growth of
forest. prevented not only communica-
ton between the Russian districts on
| either side, but also between Russia
! and Austro-Germany. Consequently a
large staff of engineering officers and
several thousand troops were drafted
| INTO the region, and these have been
engaged on the undertaking since. Up
to the present moment about 4. ZOO, 900
acres have been reclaimed, thanks to
the construction of several thousand
| miles Of bitches, and of canals SO broad
as to be navigable for barges of several
hundred tons burden. OF the Loco. 900
acres already reclaimed. 1000 acres
consisted of sheer bog, which
have been converted into good
meadow land, 100000 acres
of forest tangle," which have been
prepared for timber purposes by cut
ting down all the underwood and thin
ming the trees, 100000 acres of good
forest land, forest GASES in the midst of
the marshes, hitherto inaccessible, but
which have been connected more or
less with the navigable canals, and
thereby with the distant markets, and
finally, 1000, 900 acres have been thrown
open to cultivation, although only 12O,-
600 acres have been actually occupied
up to now. Besides making the canals
and bitches, the engineers have built
l79 bridges, bored 1872 wells from forty
to eighty feet deep. and 1875 from
twenty feet to forty feet, and have
made survey of 10000 square miles of
country hitherto unmapped. When
their task is finished Russia will have
etfaced from the map of Europe one of
the Oldest and toughest bits of savage
nature of the Continent, and a few
years will suffice to render the Pinsh
marshes indistinguishable from the
rest of the cultivated region of the
sources Of the Dnciper. From an en-
cheering. geological, and scientific
point ofvlew, the work is one of special

An enterprising German firm is
building up q large business in the
manufacture of liquid carbonic acid
which, though SO recently only Il scien-
title curiosity. is now in extensive de-
mand for industrial purposes. 1t is
used for charging beer in the cask, in
the manufacture of seltzer-waters, and
for fire extinguishers. By its cxpan-
sion the krupps, of Essen, subject their
great castings to the enormous pressure
of l, 200 atmospheres. Its gas is also
expected to prove valuable for initiating

weights having been very quickly raised
