1t is held also by many, even amongst
those who are not vegetarians, that some
serious diseases which now affect the
human family would be prevented if
animal food were not part of human sus-
tenance. 1t is urged that flesh derived
from diseased animals finds its way freely
into the human body, and that by its in
PRODUCTION diseases are introduced.
The fact that the flesh of diseased ami
mails does find it's way into the market
and on to the table is beyond question.
Our wise and discerning Jewish brethren
have taught us this truth in unmistakable
form. They, in obedience to their ancient
law, have all their animal food duly in
spected. Their returns on the subject are
worth recording. In 1878, out of %, 30S
oxen killed in London no fewer than Z, ,SSj,
or nearly third, were rejected as dis
eased. Out of 1880 calves 7S5 were re-
jected. Out of Al ,5j6 sheep 1900 were
rejected. In the year 1879, in the course
Of fifty weeks, out of q total of 22,3S7
oxen 0,531 were rejected; out of total of
1851 calves 1 1,02S were rejected; of IS, 302
sheep II ,S26 were rejected. In 1880, from
July l to Dec. 2j-twenty-fve weeks
out of 10, 116 oxen 6, 143 were rejected OF
calves numbering 1864 as many as G3l
were rejected, and out of 10, TAB sheep
5,535 We're refused for food because Of the
presence of disease.
If this analysis be applied to the animal
food consumed outside the Jewish pale il
the United Kingdom, about one-third OF
such food gives some evidence of disease
so that flesh eaters who are not Jews arc

months of each year Of their lives.-Ben

An Advertiser of Chewing Gum.

The foremost belle and beauty of a
large tobacco factory on the east side has
quit the rolling of cigarettes, removed the
stain of tobacco from her fingers, and is
on exhibition in a BOwery dime museum
If she were heiress to millien her lowell
ness would be lauded beyond that of any
girl in SwelldOm She is blonde, perfect
in shapeliness and beautiful in face.
What is she doing in the museum? She
is chewing gum. One of the manufac-
turers and heavy advertisers of gum has
contracted with the manager of the show
for her appearance. She sits on a raised
platform along with an assortment of
freaks. She wears rich evening dress
of white satin. Her hair is dressed in the
latest style, and altogether she has an air
of delicate high breeding For full twelve
hours a day she is on duty. Her jaws
seem tireless, and with a few intermis-
sions for rest she chews away at a cud of
gum, paying no particular heed to the io-
cose spectators, making no answers to
their remarks, and deriving apparent sat
isfactiOn from the admiration which she
feels that she excites. Besides, there is
the pay in cash, the amount of which no
body outside the deal knows. Behind her
are emblazoned the announcements that
she chews a certain make of gum only,
and boxes Of it are piled around her. A
boy sells the gum to whoever chooses Ia
buy, but the main idea is to make the Wis
itors to themuseum go out and talk about
the odd sight, and thus create new de
mapd for the article.-New York Sun

rHE VINO SWEEP WHEAT.

Faint, falnt and clear,
Faint as the music that in dreams we hear.
Shaking the curtain fold Of sleep
That shuts away
The worlds hoarse voice. the sightsand sounds o.
day,
Her sorry joys, her phantOms false and fleet;
So softly, softly stirs
The winds low murmur in the rppled wheat:
From west TO east
The warm breath blows the slender heads drooT
low,
As if in prayer;
Again, more lightly tossed in merry play,
They bend and bow and sway.
With measured beat,
But never rest;
Through shadow and through sun
Goes on the tender rustic Of the wheat.
Dreams, more than sleep,
Fall on the listening heart and lull its care;
Dead years send back
That treasured half forgotten time,
Ahl long ago,
When sun and sky were sweet;
In happy noon,
We stood breast high mid waves of ripened
grain,
And heard the wind make music III the wheati
Not for today,
Not for this hour alone the melody.
So soft and ceaseless, thrills the dreamer's earl
OF all that was, and is, of all that yet shall be
1t holds part;
Love, sorrow, longing, pain.
The restlessness that yearns,
The thirst that burns,
The bliss that like fountain overflows,
The deep repose,
Good that we might have known. but shall no
know
The hope God took, the joy he made complete;
Lies chords all answer from the wind swep

Use Of the TdentIscope.

The identiscope is an affair something
like O book cover with a sheet of glass in
place of leaves of the book. The fact on
which the instrument claims it's useful
ness is that when the bony fabric of the
head Of any one has reached maturity
neither the iris of the eye nor the area of
measurement of the facile perpendicular
undergo perceptible alteration. Therefore
obtain an authentic photo, taken after
person has reached maturity. Score the
face of the photo with parallel lines (hor-
izontal and perpendicular at equal dis
tances from each other, using the exact
measurement of the diameter of the iris
as q unit to regulate the distance each
line shall be from the next Then take a
photo-same size as frst-Of any one
claiming to be the original of the first and
score it in a like manner, using the iris of
it's eye as the unit of its measurement.
Put these two photos into the identi-
scope, one on either cover leaf" facing the
sheet of glass. Draw the covers together
until the reflections of the two photos are
thrown on the glass in the same spot.
Manipulate the "cOvers" until the re1ec-
tion of line of one photo is blended with
the reflection of the corresponding line of
the other Then the reflection of every
line on one photo must fall exactly on the
reflection of the corresponding line of the
other photo. If not according to the
principle on which the identiscOpe claims
its use the photos cannot be of the same
sitter
The identiscope was exhibited at a
Photographic exhibition held at Bristol,
and a reward of e100 offered to any one
who could disprove the accuracy of its
principle or produce two photos of differ
ent sitters which would exactly coincide
with one another. Many attempts were
made to obtain this reward, but all have
failed. Photos of brothers so much alike
that they could hardly be distinguished
from one another, when tested were found
to be distinctly different in size The
fact remains that a photo of the tlabby
face Of the Australia butcher and one OF
the aristocratic countenance Of the real
Tichborne before he left home, although
to the eye almost as dissimilar as pos
sible, when measured and compared by
this simple and scientific little invention
are found to be absolutely similar-E

Another important hygienic rule Is
never to thwart. that advance guard Of
sleep-the drowsy impulse. which in
healthy individuals will be found to occur
about the same hour each night At its
approach the individual should invariably
betake himself to rest, nor should he
tarry until this drowsiness verges on un.
consciousness, but at the very first inti-
nation of brain weariness he should seek
to assume a horizontal position as quickly
as possible. If this rule be scrupulously
maintained it will usually be found that
sleep supervenes almost as the head
touches the pillow, if there has been no
previous abuse Of the pleasures Of the
table. If, however, there has been gor.
mandizing and abuse of wine shortly be-
fore retiring. the aspirant for honors in
the arena Of cerebral combat must not be
surprised If he be subjected to all the in.
conveniences Of semi consciousness, total
inability to sleep, or sleep in which all the
terrors Of nightmare are unrolled before
the irritated imagination.-Dr. J. Leon.

Inherited Diseases.

BOiIs and CarbunCIeS,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after a comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr. c. X. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was af-
flicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years lie has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, ScrOfula, is
Ine fruitful cause of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one Of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, q caprcious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of a scrofulous taint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfgured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla Il fair
trial, avoiding all powders, ointmentS,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect a cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are iraudulently advertised 20 remedy.

THE DEMAND FOR BACKsHIsH.

BY the way, travellers are shocked by
The incessant demand for backshish
gifts throughout the mighty east. The
Thing is not to be wondered at, for all the
oeggars the world over knew there are
none equal to the gods Of the east. Their
hands are everywhere represented ex-
tended for backshish. Their favor was
won by offerings-their anger averted by
sacrifices Like the proboscis Of a cele-
brated elephant, their hands could pick
up pin or carry off a cart load of pota-
toes. They could make a lunch from q
few grains OF rice, the widows mite or

but in this wondrously dry atmosphere
most advantageOusly in many classes of
complaints need state only three facts
to show the rapidity Of evaporation in
Upper Egypt. Water too warm to drink
Is put into porous jar and placed in the
wind, though in the sun; in a half hour it
is as cool as good spring water At night,
exposed to a breeze, even when the breeze
is rather warm, before morning it becomes
almost ice cold The night of my arrival
here l took pouring bath on a balcony.
The wind was balmy, but fresh. The
rapid evaporation so chilled me that
could not stay out-long enough for my
bath. At the foot of the cataract we
took swim in the Nile. We wore our
underclothes for bathing suits. We hung
them up before our staterooms to dry In
ten minutes they were dry enough to be
worn. We have all heard of the univer-
sal habit of all Africans to anOint them
selves with oil, and travellers speak of it
as a nasty habit. It is, however, neces-
sary in very hot and very dry climates to
prevent the cracking Of the skin. An
English officer told me that during the
hot winds on the Upper Nile his hands
and face chapped worse than they ever
did in cold climate-chapped even to
bleeding badly
