DIR. Whithers- Moore, Of the British
Methodist Association, has been pelt
ed with good deal Of well deserved
ridicule by the press for his attack
upon the higher education OF women.
But Science comes 10 his aid and says
DIR. Moore went 10 the root Of the
matter by stating that the proper
function Of woman was to act as q
producer Of men, for she Is the only
means by which man can be brought
into the world. The functions Of ges-
tation and maternity require a great
outlay Of physiological force. and, IL
this force il used Up IN other work,
the offspring OF the world must suffer,
rs must also the woman herself"
The editor Of Science might as well
say that"fhe proper function Of man.
y Co support q family that this re-
uuires \ great outlay of physiological
force, - and that ''if this force is used

might be supported by an alarming
array Of men eminent IN literature or
philosophy, from Socrates downward
who have been conspieuOusly unsuc-

Science continues:
There are two channels Of ex-
penditure Of physiological force Of the
WOman-the terrible strain Of higher
and professional education, the train
ing for competition with men 60 the
most severe exercises Of the intellect;
and the expense OF being properly

pense Of being properly trained for

How Fresh Meat is Shipped to England.

All Americans who visit London are
struck with the tender, delicious juicy
ness of the beef and mutton prepared at
the hotels and restaurants there. What
is known as a rump steak there, called
round steak in America takes hand with
what is called the sirloin in New York.
This comes from the fact that large
portion of the beef and mutton now con-
sumed in England and especially Lon
don, is brought from Australia, New
Zealand, the RIVER Plate, the Falkland
Islands, Canada, New York, Texas and
other distant places in frozen or
chilled state. This has come to be an
enormous industry, and vessels are being
fitted to run from all the great sheep
and cattle producing count-i"s IF the
world. One of these steamers has re-
Gently brought into the Elst India docks
a cargo of 80, 900 carcascs Of frozen NUT
ton, which is the most extensive contri-
button yet made in the form of single
cargo and therefore the most noteworthy.
The refrigcrating machinery on board
this steamer is also the most powerful
that has yet been fitted on any ship, no
less than 1000 carcases having been
frozen per day. Beef is frozen or chilled
by the same process, and fruit is also
being imported by the same means.

DR.. Livingstone, who was severely
bitten by lion, said that when the
beast struck him with its paw he lost
consciousness and knew nothing until
after his rescue. The doctor thought
the lions blow mcrciful provision of
nature, whereby the prey was freed from
pain while being torn to pieces.
An English officer, serving in India,
hal different experience from Living
stones while being carried off by tiger.
So far from losing consciousness, he was
never more alive. There had been a
hunt 20 afford the Marquis of Hastings,
the Governor Genera, some sIo,t. Tho
tiger had been found and shot. As ho
lay motionlcss on the ground, everybody
supposed him to be dead. Bat tiger
is not always as he SEM. lIo has been
known to charge hundred yards with a
bal! in his heart. This officer rashly
approached the stretched out beast, when
suddenly coming toitsclf, 1t sprang upon
the man. He fired a pistol but missed.
The next moment he was in the tigers
jaws, with his right arm pinned down
across his breast, utterly powerless, and
being carried into the jungle. In q
minute or two, the tiger, in order to
carry its burden with greater ease,
chucllod the officer up into the air and
caught mm by the thigh as lie fell. The
cool, self controlled officer, though su:-
fcring agony, drew another pistol, intro
duccd tie muzz'c into the tigers car,
and pulled the trigger. The brute fell
deau, without struggle.
Lori Hastings promoted the officer or
the spot, for his courage and calmnass.
But the snap of the tigers teeth in re-
catching him as he fell, inflicted SC
severe . wound upon tie sinews of tho
! thigh that he was lamcd for life.

Making n New Nose.

Among the rarcr operations OF what
is termed plastic, and by Sir James
Paget decorative" surgery is that by
which new nose is formed by calling in
the aid Of the tissue of other parts of tie
body. This has been done by bringing
flap of skin cut from the forehead
down over the nasal bones. The flap
retains its connection with the deeper
tissues at a point between the eyes by
means Of a small pcdiclc, and thus its
blood vessels and nerves are not all
severed. This flap is not simply pulled
down from the forchead.--it is twisted at
the pedicle, SO that the raw surface lies
on the bones of the nose. Now, for
some time after this operation has been
performed, any irritation in the nose is
referred by the mind to that part of the
forehead from which the flap of the skin
was taken; and, therefore, if fly crawls
over the patients nose, it appears to him
to be creeping across his forehead.
Before the operation, whenever the
nerve-ends in the flap we're irritated, it
was caused by something touching the
forehead, and it is some time before the
mind ceases to refer such irritation to
that part Of the face. - Chamber

A Thief Outwitted.

This story of Fletcher, tho actor, is
told in Louis Engels "From Mozart to
Mario."
Wearing large paste pin, he had
gone down near the East river, where
at that time number of roushs were
always ready to cut your throats for half
a dollar if they thought they were likely
to find anything worth taking on you.
This pin, theatrical diamond of excel
lent French imitation, attracted thiefs
attention and he stopped Fletcher and
roughly asked the time, with the evil
dent intention of seeing whether he
could lay hold of watch. Fletcher
said he did not know, and ordered him
to go his way, whcrcupon the thief,
tall, powerful man, laid hold of him, but
Fletcher got the man under in no time,
when, to the rather unpleasant surprise
of Fletcher, big clasp knife appeared
on the scene, and he thought discretion
the better part of valor. '.Listen to me,
my man." he said, "what is the good of
your shedding blood and getting hemp
cravat2 l have no money and no valua-
bles; what do you WANT" "Your pin"
said the man, "and I'll have it if /
swing for it." "You shall," said
Fletcher, "only don't care to go home
with my scarf open as if 1 were drunk.
II you will let me have another pin, you
may have mine without struggle"
agreed" said the thief, and he took
out rather tasteful turquoise and cameo
pin, and put FIctcher's diamond q into
his necktie leave the reader to judge
what his feelings must have been when
next day he came to ascertain the value
of his "honestly" acquired solitaire, for
which he had given pin worth at least
ten times the price of the stone for which
he narrowly escaped becoming q muir

Pure Water.

DR.. N. B. Sizer in an essay on Drink
ing Water says: In regard to the use OF
hard water, if we consider for moment
the functions subscrved in our economy
by the water we drink, we shall see very
clearly why hard water does us harm.
Leaving out of the account the water lost
by Transportation through the lungs and
skin, we may state in general way, that
the use of water is to wash the blood
clean-that is, to dissolve and carry out
OF the blood the waste materials picked
up by the blood, which are soluble in
water. Now, we all know that liquid
can only dissolve certain proportion of
any solid; therefore, if VIC preoccupy our
potable water with from 10 to Is grains
per gallon Of salincs, it is easy to see
that we impair its power OF dissolving
and removing from the blood the proper
amount of waste material; and also that,
if it be thus overloaded with dissolved
salines, the water will be very apt to,
like an exhausted laborcr. drop part OF
the load the first chance it gets. Such
deposits actually occur in very i'm
portant and delicate organs; notably the
kidney and bladder, forming disease.

Dynamite i'm Warfare.

In the event Of war on land, how
could dynamite or the fluid be used2
asked New York Sun reporter of Pro-
fcssor Mczzcroif. ''Thc strongest
bridges behind an army could be dcs-
troycd in few minutes by dynamite"
rcplicd the Professor. Railroads could
also be rendered useless to the enemy in
the same manner. Iu attacking an
army protected b. earthworks l should
use dynamite shells and the spontaneous
fluid Shells They would dislodge an
army of any size. In fact, the success
in future wars depends upon the side
that has the opportunity to throw the
first volley OF shells containing this
fluid.
In making passes for an army over
mountains would use large field pieces
70 throw the dynamite shells. A 100
pound shell would clear away all the
trees and rocks within a radius of thirty
feet, and rapid advances could thus
be made. also believe that the bal
looms OF which have spoken could be
used FOR the purpose of destroying
camps, forts and cities. This could be
done easily in spite of the strength or
valor of any enemy, by dropping down
on them the spontaneous burning fluid
and self-cxploding torpcdoes from any
attitude the balloonists might choose
believe that in the future battles will
be partly fougltin the air, several miles
above the earth

A Qnaer Fish.

A letter from Japan contains the fol-
lowing paragraph: Ny friend caught a
globe fish, as think the English name
was. Just as soon as you touch it this
fish breathes in the air and swclis itself
up Just like rubber bali. You press it
hard with your fingers, but you cannot
break it. You may throw it upon 9
stone, and it bounds up like ball; you
throw it again on the ground, and it is
now apparently dead; you put it on the
water, and down it goes underneath,
leaving bubbles behind. The skin o.
the globe fish is so strong that it is used
for TIE top drums of the children.

Condiments,

While condiments are of very little
benefit as articles of food, yet they play
an important part in stimulating diges-
ton, and as factors in producing nerve
force.
The principal condiments are pepper,
cayenne, mustard, horse radish and vine
gar, and should be used with discretion.
Their constant use causes debility in
certain tissues; but, when moderately
used, the disturbance produced is not
worth considering, especially when COM
pared with the benefits which follow.
Condiments are Of great benefit in aid
ing the digestion of substances which
would otherwise be slowly acted upon
by the digestive organs. Their
action increases the amount of saliva
sccreted; and in many cases where
the appetite is deficient they arouse it and
cause the patient to cat moro than he
otherwise would.
Condiments arc very seldom given
proper attention in the sick room. The
patient is usually allowed to use them
without stint, whereas much benefit may
be obtained by their judicious use.
In many cases Of diarrl@l, black pep
per, cayenne Or mustard can be taken in
unusual quantities and with great bene-
fit. Black pepper is w4ll-known rem
edy in the common fever and ague of
this country. Cayenne pepper is of spe-
cial use in nervous dyspepsia, when
there is tendency for the food to fer
mcnt instead of to digest. -Health and
