CHINESE REMEDIES.
Some of the Dainty Drugs Prescribed by
Celestial Ih ysic clans.

Some of the Dainty Drugs Prescribed by
Celestial Physicians.
The materia medica Of the Chinese
profession is something stupendous-
The Pan-Tso. their standard work, is N
thirty-eight volumes. 1t presents Il ,896
formuln, into the makeup Of which
over 1900 substances enter. While
there is almost no end to Chinese drugs,
there are some substances which are
favorites in the practice. Among these
are claws and bones of the tiger and
other wild animals. the cuttlc-fsh.
dragons teeth, fossils. the hide horn
and bones of the elephant and rhi-
noceros, the scorpion, snake skins, SCOT,
and so on.
A favorite remedy is known as the
tincture Of five poisons, made by steep
ing scorpions. snakes and other venom-

for fever, rheumatism and catarrh. In
some parts of China it is considered the
very highest degree of philanthropy Cor

drug" is used as vermifuge. A sensible
remedy, which is of comparatively re-
cent introduction among more enli@ht-
ened people, is the gizzard OF the COM
mon fowl. prescribed for dyspepsia. But
the great cure-all with the Chinese is
ginseng root. The resemblance which
the roots often bear to the human form,
either as the result of natural growth or
skillful trimming, Is given as the reason
for the Chinese faith in the universal
efficacy of this drug. Large and choice
specimens of the root are carefully pre-
served in embroidered coverings and IN
closed in cases of varying sizes, the
whole being locked in brass-bound
chests. An extraordinarily fine specl-

hunting of these roots is pursued with
ali the ardor of gold-seeking-
The Chinese have little use for sur
gerry. They resort TO cupping and
1eeching and lancing on small scale,
and that IS about as far as they go.

ENGlAND'S CLIMATE.

One Of the Reasons Why the Temperature
Of the British Isles Is Higher Than That
Of America
As is well known, the average temper
allure of the British Isles is much higher
than that of America in corresponding
ATTITUDES The latitude of London is
about the same as the northern end of
Newfoundland, but the annual average
temperature of Newfoundland is almost
twenty degrees below that of London.
1t was formerly supposed that the differ
ence was due to the Gulf Stream, which
expended its warmth upon the BIRTHS
coast. but this theory has now been
abandoned, and much more reason
able one has taken its place The differ
ence is attributed at present partly to
ocean currents. but more to air currents.
There is deep ocean current of icy
water from either pole 10 the equator, in
both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
The Arctic Atlantic current hugs the
shore of America, but is turned away
from the British coast A warm surface
current flows norfhward over the not
very deep ocean plateau that surrounds
Crest Britain. Beyond this plateau the
bed of the ocean acts like the bank of
river, combining the south-moving sub
current Of cold water. But the air-cur-
