On COnSumntiOn.

Dr. Brown-Sequard, of Paris, in treat ing before the Academy of Sciences the causes of phthisis, takes many of his ex- amples from England. He shows that wherever population is dense, and sleep ing-rooms arc ill., aired or ver-crowded, consump ption prevails. Dr, Bailey re. ported that in Milbank prison there were out of 100 deaths, 45 from this disease. According to the illustrious doctor, room in which consumptive person sleeps is rocking with contagious germs, if the air he cxhales is not carried off, But how to get rid of it in ill., built houses or very cold weather, when it is as dangerous to open windows as to keep them shut2 To meet this difficulty Dr. Brown-Sequard showed the academy an apparatus of his invention. A reversed funnel, the shape of lamp shade, is placed at the end of tube, so arranged in it's curves and angles that when it is placed beside bed the reversed funnel will be above the sleeper, and draw up the air he breathcs. The other end runs into the chimney of the room. If there is none, it is taken through heating apparatus to an air-holc.

The Ministry of Song.

 From rosy lips in childhoods sunny days, Not that sweet strain which youth delights in singing,
 Are life's best melody and truest praise Gladstone are these, and beautiful; their Floats down long years; Lifes morning song seems best; Although maturity, with sighs, confesses Her children's songs bring pity and unrest. Who soothes the ear of grief with hint ef pleasure! Who comforts age with hope of things to Why have youths song and life's maturer
 measures
 No common key note in life's harmonyi None know-and yet, from out our cara and We hear the wondrous music silence holds In piteous need, one human lamentation Most beauteous strain of sympathy enfolds. Joys happy lay and grief's heart-broker
 wailing
 No concord know, till some poor, stricken
 heart,
 With faith sublime, turn from its own rer

 through.

The Warmest SOles.

know that it is contrary to precon ceived notions, says Joel Swope in the Globe-Democrat, but it is the fact all the same, that the feet can be kept warmer in cold weather by wearing a shoe with light sole than with thick one. With the light sole the foot has a chance to work, thereby keeping up a circulation. This applies, of course, only to dry weather. When it is wet and rubbers are necessary, it is best to wear single -soled shoe inside. In the summer the thick sole should be used, for it keeps the heat of the pavement from strikin1 through.

An Aged Sea AnemOne.

For many years an object of curiosity in the Botanical Gard ems at Edinburgh has been the sea anem one, which on ac' count of its age has received the nick. name of Granny" This venerable specimen of the curious class of crea- lures which belong to the very border land that separates the animal from tho vegetable world has just passed away at the age of about sixty. It was found in 1898 by Sir John Dalzell, the welt. known antiquary, among the rocks not very far from the promontory known as St. Abbs Head. upon the coast of Ber- wick, and was described ia one of those two sumptuous quartos devoted by him to "Rare and Remarkable Animals of Scotland" It was on tho death of Sir John in 1854 that this remarkable specimen of the actinozoa passed into the possession of Prof. Flemming, and hence found permanent home in tn beautiful gardens ia which it has just cuucu US UOQOTCu CArCCE.

 Whether it possessed any thing which could be said 10 ap- proach to the nature of breathing ap- paratus is, we believe, point on which the learned are not quite dcci led; but it is certain that Granny appeared to thrive on her fortnightly half-musscl with its accompanying draught of fresh water. "Granny's" album, in which visitors have long been accustomed to enter their names, is stated to be en- riched with more than 1, 900 autographs of distinguished travellers aud scientific persons. It appeared to be in excellent health up to few weeks ago, when it was attacked with the parasite disease which finally proved fatal. Il Christian at Work.

The Tartars and Their Horses,

The Tartars have way of living with their animals which is truly astonishing they talk to them, and when they wish to encourage them, they whistle to them as if they were birds. If they do not travel we'll, they address to them gentle reproaches; and when special effort is needed on their part, they say "Come, my doves--you know you must go up there; courage, my pets; come, go on!" And when the difficulty is ac- complished, they get down from their box and praise and caress them, allow ing them to rest and breathc--patting them between their eyes, rubbing their noses, stroking the hair on their fore heads between their ears-indeed caress- ing them in every way, and treating them like much-loved pets.

Curious Experiences of Animals.

Cur1OuS Experiences OI AnlmalA
 From time to time one hears of vari. ous mishaps by which cats fall into the path of fly wheels of engines and are carried round aud round for hours on the inside rim of the wheel, and gener- ally the information concludes with some observation upon the wondrous muscular power of cats, enabling them to hold their position for such time.
 A dog in the engine room of public station of the water works, while look ing through slit iu the floor provided for the wheel, saw a cat in the basc- ment below. He attempted to spring upon her between the spokes of the wheel, but was caught and carried around on the inside rim for several revolutions. On his release he would rot ever enter or approach the building again.
 The engine tender of one of the large armories in Connecticut perceived what he supposed to be piece of newspaper on the inside of tho fly wheel of the engine, and was somewhat provoked that anyone should be so disorderly as to throw paper in that way. But when the mill was stopped at noon cat jumped out and, instead of being af- fronted or permanently terrified by the in. voluntary ride of several hours, did not abandon the engine room.
 The engineer io printing office of one of the newspapers in Montreal, dis covered, as he thought, large piece of paper on the inner rim of the fly wheel, and at the expiration of five hours, when the engine was stopped, cat jumped out, somewhat demoralized but not per manently injured.
 Instead of wondering how a cat could hold on under such circumstances, an examination of the facts will lead ono to question why the beast was not squeezed to death by centrifugal force. Apply ing the formular and assuming what ap- pears to be proper limit for the radius of gyration of cat. shows that the cen trifugal force in this instance on the in side rim of the fly wheel of the engine, which was ten feet in diameter, revolv- ing fifty times per minute, was 5.78 times gravity; so that the cat was really pushed at all times against the rim with pressure at least 3-4 times its own weight.
 The physical result of such an enor- nous pressure can best bo conceived by considering its effect upon man weigh ing 175 pounds, where this excess of ex- ternal pressure would amount to 731 pounds, weightgwhieh few would care to sustain for short time, and certainly none for hours. -[ Electrical Review.

A City Beneath the Tide.

A city at the bottom of the sea was seen toward the end of October near Treptow, in Prussia, when powerful south wind blew the waters of the Bal tic away from the shore, uncovering a portion of ground usually hidden from sight by the waves. It was the ruins of the city of Regamuende, once flourish ing commercial station, which was swallowed by the sea some five ccntur- ies ago. The unusual spectacle was not enjoyed but for few hours. When the storm slackened and the waves returned to cover up the place which had once been the residence and field of labor of busy men. -[North German Ga. Zette.

There exist in England hundreds ot cooperative societies, which are entire ly In the hands of the working classes. They supply every article at only trife above cost, and largely augment the purchasing power of the small wages of tho laboring classes. But these socie- ties arc to certain degree, still depend ent upon middlemen. To bring about . reform in that respect and to minimize q near as possible the profit on sales, the "Co-operative Wholesale Society" has been founded wholly by and under tho administration of the industrial classes. It supplies the cooperative societies with everything they sell, with goods at first hand, and it has its own factories, its depots for the sale of farm produce-grain, vegetables, cheese, but ter, milk, etc When reminded of the faet that these societies number 1,000,- ooo members, the reader will have an idea of not only the magnitude of their operations. but the importance of such A eqk~pTiss.

There is Turkish proverb' which says that ''the gift of a peasant comes highland this is the illustration.

"1 am the man who gave you the hare" He was warmly received. A little later number of men dropped in about lunch time. ''Who are you2" was asked. "Wc are the neighbors of the man who brought you hare." Still another crowd came, and were asked as to tl,eir identity. "We are the neighbors of the neighbors of the man who sent you the hare," The hodja then set before them some clear water, and then they asked, "What is this2" ''It is the sauce of the sauce of the cooked hare," replied the hodja.

Supreme Court Justices.

Of all the forty three justices who have so far received supreme court ap- pointments only four have been under forty years of age. The New York Worlds Washington correspondent says:
 These are Judge Story, at thirty two; Judge William Johnson of South Caro- lima, appointed by Jefferson at thirty three; James Iredell, appointed by Washington at thirty-nine, and George Washington's nephew, Bushrod Wash ington, who was appointed by John Adams when he was only thirty-six years old. Bushrod Washington re. mained on the bench thirty one years, and the case of the supreme bench tends to prolong life. John Catron of Tennessee, appointed in 1887, served tventy-eight years. Judge Mclean of Ohio, who was appointed at forty-four, served thirty-two years, and Wayne, of Georgia, appointed by Jackson, was thirty-two years on the bench. Judge Nelson of New York, served twentys seven years, though he was raised to the bench tt fifty three, and Judge Grier of Pennsylvania and Nathan Clifford of Maine, each sat twenty-seven years on the bench, though Grier retired when he reached seventy years of age. David Davis was on the bonch fifteen years and resigned to take place in the United States senate, and Noah H. Swayne of Ohio served twenty years and left the bench at the age of seventy.

PreciOuS Boxes.

Perhaps tho chief thing during the Civil war which afforded equal pleasure to the soldier and his friends at home was the sending and the reception of boxes of good things. When these home.boxes arrived at camp, tho men re- ceiving them were like schoolboys, elat. ed over their good fortune and ready to share their delicacics with the less fla vored who had not been remembered.
 The author of "Hard Tack and Cof- fcc," in describing the contents of such boxes, gives list of articles ordered by him at some period in the service:
 "Round- headed nails 0or boot heels), hatchet, pudding, turkey, pickles, on. ions, pepper, paper, envelopes, stockings, potatoes, chocolate, condensed milk, sugar, broma, butter sauce, boot preser. vative"
 Of course, this catalogue was supple mented by the loving friends at home, by dozen necessaries and delicacies. -.- TYonth's Comnanion.

Senor Rafael Vapegas w. has filed two claims, ono for this discovery and employment of . valuable medicinal plant, the prop critics of which he claims are as yet un- known to the world. The second claim h based on, the declaration that wild cocoa trees exist in profusion in the virgin forests which stretch from the head waters of the Ariari down to the river, Guabiara. The claimant ayers there are trees enough to supply all de- mands which might arise for cocoa, and that the gathering of the pods would furnish work for thousands who are now idle, and bring great wealth into the country.
