Salt as a PAnacea for Al liz.

A Belgian correspondent Of the Chicago
Times says in letter from Belgium: Il
have just completed the perusal Of a.
work entitled: "How to Live one Hum
dred Years" by DR.. Burggraeyc, profess
sor Of the University Of Client, add pub
lishcd in that city some five or six days
ago. The doctors solution Of the vexed
problem, already solved by G. Mr. Chew
reul Of Paris, is one of the simplest kind.
Salt is the chief, the only medicine for
would-be centcnarians Salt, according
to the professor is the great regulating
agent in the functions of animal life. If
the blood be too rich, salt will reduce it
TO healthy, normal condition. II it be
too poor salt will supply it with the
necessary elements of nutrition. Salt
is the panacea for all bodily ills and an
antidote for every disease Twenty
grammes of salt should be taken daily
by everybody who aspires to NJ. Chev-
reups longevity, and M. Burggraeve is
quite sure-apart from unforeseen circum-
stance-that with such regime he will
himself arrive safe and sound at the end
Of tea decades of existence. As proof
of the worth Of his remedy he draws
attention to the fact that smallpox was
one time successfully combatted in Sax
ony by dccoctions of salt. Belgian
miners are peculiarly exempt from dis-.
ease, because the government supplies
them gratuitously with salt A young
man in the last stages of consumption
asked the doctor some time go what he
should eat. 'Eat salt, was the reply.
He ate salt for three months, and at the
end Of that time was as stout and robust
as any frst-class prize fighter. Russian
troops are always supplied with salt dur
ing the cholera season and are never
afflicted with the epidemic.

water, holding up the child that the
mother might see it.
Such a scream of joy as burst from
that mothers lips it would have done
you good to hear.
A few minutes later Grace nestled on
her bosom, weak and faint, but showing
signs of rapid recovery as the happy
woman strained her to her breast,
showering kiss after kiss upon her
face.
Almost exhausted to inconsistencies,
Mark Mold lay in the bottom Of the boat,
scarcely hearing the mother hardly
feeling the pressure Of her lips upon his
hands-when, at length, she turned to-
him, warmly expressing her gratitude.
Now she recognized the truth Of the
saying that the worst person isnot with
out some good trait, and very glad she
was that she had not succeeded in hav-
ing the convicts removed from the ship
when she first discovered they were
aboard. OF course, had they been
taken away, Mark Mold would have gone
with them and her child would have
been lost
On arriving at Port Jackson, Mrs.
Rowland related to her husband, the
colonel, the gallant conduct of Mark
Mold, who, thereafter, was constantly
befriended, during his hard prison life,
by the grateful officer.
This kind treatment, the first he had
ever received from human being since
lie became an outlaw, had a soltening
effect on Marks character, and he con
Quoted himself so we'll that the colonel
at length succeeded in obtaining for him
Communication Of his kenalty which
had been for twenty years, to nalf that
time.
When at last the prisoner was dis
charged, the colonel procured him EN-
ploymcnt, and the liberated convict be.

Passing near thy place of rest,

Saved by a Convict.


Heavy chains were about his ankles,
handouts upon his wrists and the brand
Of crime was on his low forehead, on
his dark features and in his fierce, wolf
ish eyes
There he stood, an outcast from the
pale Of human kindness, the convict,
Mark Mold, on the deck of the passen-
ger ship Briton, the captain Of which,
fora certain sum paid by the law officers,
had consented to take him, with several
others of his stamp, to Botany Bay, as
room could not be found for these Grim
inals aboard the transport vessel
anchored mile below, and which had
been packed to OVERLOOKING ere the pris-
oners were brought to it,
While Mark still waited on deck for
the officers to stow him in the dark hold
with his fellows, a boat from the Liver
pool dock came alongside with several
passengers, among them ahandsome lady
Of thirty, Mrs. Rowland, wife Of Col
Rowland, quartered with his regiment
near Port jackson, Australia, where she
was going to join him, and her little
daughter Grace, beautiful child of six
years
AS Mrs. Rowland was assisted up the
gangway she noticed Mark Mold and
shuddered.
"You need not be afraid, ma'am," said
the captain. THE criminals will be
kept in the hold chained; they can do
you no harm"
"Can you not send them away from
here? wish you would"
81 regret that l cannot, as l have
agreed to take them"
Descending into the cabin, the lady
sat, unable to rid herself of the feeling
OF alarm excited by the presence of the
convicts aboard the vessel. She at length
concluded to go ashore and endcavor to
persuade the shipowners to have the
criminals taken off the craft. But
ere she could proceed to execute her plan
the Briton was under weigh.
As day after day passed, bright little
cherub, Grace, spread light and jay
throughout the vessel.
The rough sailors would smile, their
brown faces softening when she ventured
among them.
They always had pleasant word for
her, for her winning little ways had
made her a favorite with all, from the
cabin boy up to Ben. Hays-the oldest
seaman aboard.
She would walk forward, the first
thing Of a morning, and shake hands
with each one; her mother, smilingly
permitting such freedom on the part of
her child. One day, having heard that
the crew did not fare as sumptuously as
the passengers, Grace, instead of eating
her piece Of poundcake at the cabin
table, took it forward among the sailors,
and made each Of them take big bite,
saying she would tell the captain to send
them bssketlul.
Soon she noticed on deck the convict

The Birth of an Iceberg.

The birth of huge iceberg, phe.
nomeuon that has been seen only once
or twice by European, and to a certain
extent has remained a matter of theory,
was observed by the Danish explorers on
the east coast of Greenland last summer.
The bergs are formed by breaking off
from the perpetual ice of the unexplored
interior to the coast and into the sea
The water buoys up the sea end of the
glacier until it breaks by its own weight
with a noise that sounds like loud
thunder miles away. The commotion of
the water, as the iceberg turns over and
over in the effort to attain it's balance, is
felt to great distance along the coast.
The natives regard it as the work of
evil spirits, and believe that to look upon
the glacier in its throes is death. The
Dauish officers, when observing the
breaking off of the end of the great gla.
cier Puissortok through their telescopes,
were roughly ordered by their Esquimaux
escort, usually submissive enough, to
follow their example and turn their backs
on the interesting scene. They had
happily completed their observations,
and avoided an embarrassing conflict
with the crew by seeming compliance
with the order.

THE WELCOME BACK.


Sweet is the hour that brings us home,
Where ali will spring to meet us,
Where hands are striving as we come
To be the first to greet u.s.
When the world has spent its frowns anC
wrath
And care been sorely pressing,
lis sweet TO turn from our rowing path
And find fireside blessing
Ah, joyfully dear is the homeward track,
II we are but sure Of a welcome bacll
What do we reck on dreary way,
Though lonely and benighted,
II we know there are lips to chide our stay
And eyes that will beam love-lightedi
What is the worth of your diamond ray
To the glance that flashes pleasure
When the words that welcome back betray
We form hearts chief treasure?
Oh, joyfully dear is our homeward track
II we are but sure of a welcome backl

LOVES APPEAL

II should listen, listen, love,
With longing ear, in time Of leisure,
Unto a redbreast's song above,
Feeling a thrill at every measure,
'Twould be ingratitude, my love,
If, when the song had ceased above,
took the life that gave me pleasure.
But If, when it had died away,
And l had listened, listened, love,
Twere only just il 1 to pay
The redbreast that had made me gay
Should build for it a nest above.
Thou, thou has listened, listened, dear,
With strange delight in time of leisure,
CAto love song wondrous clear,
And smiled and blushed at every measure.
Now, 'twere ingratitude, my dear,
When old does seem the song you hear,
To wound the heart that gave you pleas
ure.
But, dear: when it has thrilled its best,
And thou hast listened yearningly,
'Twere only just within thy breast
To rear for it gentle nest
And soothe the love that sung for thee.

Jumps of rice dough, called mochi; roots

in many house fronts men are cutting
up wood into lengths for matches. Ia
others they are husking rice, very la

Now, when the mercury sinks out Of
sight and the water-pipes freeze up, there
is timely renewal of the proposition to
dam the Strait of Belle Isle, between
Newfoundland and Labrador, so as to
defect the Arctic current which now
passes through, turning it eastward and
allowing the warm water of the Gulf
Stream to flow northward close to the
shores. 1t is claimed that this warding
off of the frigid waters would give a
mild and genial climate from Nova Scotia
30 Cape Hatteras, like that of Spain
and Northern Italy in the same latitude.
This stringing of new isothermal lines
will be expensive, and the scheme is not
likely to prosper. But it is better to dam
the Strait of Belle Isle than to imprecate
the weather.

Food OF the Burmese.

The flesh of the python is much es.
teemed by the Karens for food, and the
gail bladder for medicine. All lizards
of the varanide family are highly valued
for food, and sought for in hollow trees
by the aid of dogs. The Karens steal
up the tree with a moose at the end of a
bamboo, aud snare them while leap
ing for the water, or catch them in a
boat beneath the tree. The head Is
deemed venomous; but the flesh of the
other parts is preferred to fowls. If not
needed for immediate consumption, the
captive is rendered helpless by breaking
some of the toes and knotting the sinews.
The eggs are equally esteemed. The
padat (Liopelus guttagus) is herbivorous,
and in high favor as a Wand. The flesh
of the mijyoung (Crockodilus), which is
very common and reaches thirty feet in
length, is In great request for food. A
kind of turtle during the inundations
becomes scattered about the country, and
on the sucsidence of the floods, and dur
ing the grass burning in April, many are
either caught alive, or their scorched
bodies are found afterward, and greatly
relished by the people. The flesh of the
soft turtles is generally eaten by the
Burmese, and may be good, though the
animals are carnivorous. The leikpyen-
won is algivorous, and is the "edible
turtle" of India. The boatmen on the
river make it practice, when mooring
at a spot, to hunt in the neighboring
thickets for lizards, chameleons snakes,
and similar reptiles, with which they
flavor the invariable dish of boiled rice.
Even lizards found dead are esteemed
great delicacy when cooked. The Bur
mese exhibit decided peculiarities in
their choice of comestibles. There is a
small kind of beetle which fabricates
balls of clay as a indus for its progency,
about the same size as tennis balls, and
buries them in ground where cattle are
stalled. These balls are eagerly sought
after by the Burmese for the sake of the
dainty grub contained within, which
they deyour with uncommon relish. -

A company of Americans are to lay a
paper railway in Russia. The uses of
paper are becoming amazingly extended,
and will be likely to do some queer tricks
with rhetoric as people now may think.
Perhaps it will not seem strange some
years hence to read in newspaper of a
locomotive ''fiercely tiagellating the all
enduring paper nails, and striking fire
and thunder from them at every mighty
bound" but it seems now as though it
would. Inevitably cannon balls will
come to be made of paper, and the New
Yorker of the future may learn with sor-
row and alarm of the demolition of Fort
Hamilton by the "heavy paper haip
poured upon it by hostile vessel lying
far out at sea.

decided that where property has been
destroyed by fire from sparks negli-
gently permitted to escape from loco

withstanding the fact that the property
was fully insured and the insurance COM
