Dr.. Wagaer&c,.


We offer no apology for devoting SO much time
and attention to this much neglected class OF
diseases, believing that no condition of human
iy is too wretched to merit the ympathy and
best services of the profession to which we be
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
philanthrophist and a benefactor to his race
than the surgeon or physician who by close APP
plication eNcels IN any other branch of his pro-
fession. And, ~fortunafeIy for humanity the day
is dnwning when the false philanthropy that
condemned the victims Of folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law to die uncared
tdS has passed away.

The projectors of the scheme to con- struct an underground rapid transit sys. tenn in New York city, are sanguine oi success, and says that enough money has already been promised to construct a tunnel under the East river between the New York and Brooklyn city halls, in order to give practical demonstra. tion of the feasibility of the enterprise. From estimates based upon the work oi constructing the new Croton aeueduct, it is asserted that the whole tunnel could be excavated, working from fifty shafts, in two years. The total expense is computed at $50, 900, 900, of which only SIS, 200, 900, is for tunnel excava, tion. The lining of the tunnel, esti. mated at s6, 5OO 900, the cost of real es tate for terminals and stations, track laying, ventilating machinery and equip. ment of the road consume the larger half of the estimate. Surveys and soundings have been made and plans drawn. The projectors profess to be willing to carry passengers at uniform rate of five cents for any distance, rely jag upon the revenue to be derived from freight tranater to pay the interest or tho invsstmSat and afford proAt

Uncle Sans Conscience Fund.

A letter signed with initials aud mailed at the Washington Post-office was received the other day at the Post Office Department. The writer en- closed two-cent stamp, with the fol- lowing explanatory remark for the ben fit of the Postmas ter General:
 II received letter through y our office yesterday; the cancelling stamp failed to cancel the stamp. I tore the stamp off and used it. Now my conscience has got the best of me. You will please find enclosed two-cent stamp to go to tho "Conscience Fund"
 As it was not money the stamp wal not sent to tho Treasury Department, where there is special fund for tho benefit of those who arc overcome by the bangs of conscience. The letter was sent on the official round and as much ink and good paper was consumed in recording its reception in the depart ment and its final disposition as if it had been $1o, 900, instead of sickly two cent stamp. It was first of all recorded in the book of letters received in the Postmaster Generals office, and was then sent, as endorsed by tho chief clerk, to tho Third Assistant Postmaster General When it reached tho latter office it was referred by the Third Assistant Postmaster General to the Finance Division. An : other record was made in the book of the office of letters received and jacket ed. Then it found it's way to the in- ance division. The chief of that divis ion pasted the stamp on the letter, drew two crossmarks through the stamp with his pen and marked under it the word "cancclled," and signed his name. This operation was witnessed by clerk who affixed his name as witness, and then the letter having reached the end of its red tape journey was duly and properly 1 deposited in the files, where it will re- main as an evidence to future genera tions that this petit larceny upon the government was regularly and officially atoned for. In case the citizen whose conscience was disturbed wishes to es- tablish the fact that he has made resti- tuition he can refer to the documents in the case which tho postofic, depart. mcnt will kindly preserve for him with out charge.

Rabbit Plague in Australia.

Americans have dual reason for con- cern in the treatment of the rabbit pest in Australia, asserts the New York Star. Upon the abatement of the pest depends in very great degree the sheep raising industry of tho South Sea continent which plays such an impor- tant part in the wool market of the world, and what is the pest of Australia today may threaten large agricultural area in tho United States tomorrow. Some idea of how sheep raising in Aus tralia has been interrupted by the plague of English rabbits may be gained from tho following facts: At one sta tion in Victoria, which under skillful management pastured 110, 900 sheep, the incursion of rabbits reduced the stock to 1900 sheep found by the visitor "dy ing in paddock at the homestead" The rabbits had to account for the de- ficicncy. All that good management. backed by abundant capital, could do had been incffectuel to stay the progress of tho rabbits. They had eaten up and destroyed all the grass and herbage; 1; they had parked all the edible shrubs and bushes and had "latterly themselves begun to perish i1 thousands"

Frpit Storage.

We must aim for fruit storage houses above ground. You will never get what you want in building underground, where there is always dampness. think you can erect wooden build ing with walls thick enough to kccr out frost. Fruit kept in the cellar with other fruit and vegetables is not what it ought to be; there is taint to the flavor, and great deal of fruit is injured by being kept in this way. A person living in the city ought te have house to preserve the fruit he wants for the table. If we do not sec fine fruit on the table every day through the winter, it is sure mark of great negligence on the part O somebody. I do really believe that il is not an impossible thing to build z fruit house above ground, simply by having walls lined with hay, straw o sawdust, and provided with dead air spaces. -[ [Vick's Magazine.

A Bug Harnessed with Gold and Silver


 A large throng was gathered around the win dow of jewelry store in Broad way between Berry street and Bedford avenue, Brooklyn. The cause of so much attention was an insect about one and one quarter inches long, and half an inch wide. On the back was a small gold and silver harness, to which was attached miniature dog g-cart. The bug dragged the cart all around the window, much to the amusement of the onlookers. An inquisitive spectator went into the store to in quiro about the strange steed. The proprietor, MT. E. Hollers, said that the bug originally came from Yuca- tan, and is very rare around these parts, as they cannot live owing to the frequent changes in the climate.
 "This one," he continued, 'is first class specimen, and think it will 1.-Two. I have trained it, you see, and in a short time Twill have it climbing up and down ladder"
 "What does it feed on2' was asked.
 'Rotten wood," was the reply.
 The skin of the insect is very beauti- full. It shows this best, however, when under microscope, when it looks mot tied, like an alllgator's.
 The value of the bug is from $10 to $15 outside of the harness, which can be made as costly as desired. What few there are in use are owned by ladies, who use them as ornaments.--[NewY York Tinoa

After the Battle.

It was after the din of the battle Had ceased, in the silence and gloom, When hushed was the musketry's rattle, And quiet the cannon's deep boom. The smoke of the conflict had lifted, And drifted away from the sun, While the soft crimson light, slowly fading
 from sight,
 Flashed back from each motionless gun. The tremulous notes of bugle Rang out on the clear au. umn air, And the echoes caught back from the noun Faint whispers, like breathings of prayer. The arrows of sunlight that slauted Through the trees touched brow white as
 snow. On the bloody sod lying, mil the dead and
 the dying,
 And it flushed in the last parting glow. The dark, crimson tide slowly ebbing Stained red the light jacket of gray; But another in blue sadly knelt by his side And watched the life passing away. Said the jacket in gray, "l've brother Joe Turner-he lives up in Maine. Give him these-and say my last message Was forgiveness" Here low moan of
 pain.
 Checked his voice. Then-"Youll do me
 this favor,
 For you shot me"-and his whispers sank
 low
 Said the jacket in blue, Brother Charlie, There's no need-rm your brother-fm Joe" IV. Stuart Mosby.

A Lonesome Region.

A stop of day or two at a pioneer settlement in Assinlb oia, say Western traveller, afforded an explanation of the marriage between white mon and squaws. Loneliness is the especial curse of the region. The houses arc often five miles or ten miles apart, at a littlo distance from the railroad, in Western Manitoba, Assiniboi,, and Alberta, and many of the pioneers are bachelors. Tho prairie is very like the sea, flat ex- panse, often without trees, and there fore the surroundings of ncw-made home are apt to strengthen the feeling of solitude. Dogs are plenty along the railroad, but arc said to fetch high prices, regardless of their quality, in the back country. Cats, on tho other hand, are very scuce, and in such demand that cat will bring from $2 to $5 at the smaller stations.
 Men go stark mad from loneliness out there, and others, fearing that they may become so, run away from their claims at times and try to get work in the settle meats. The English, Irish and Scotch give frequent parties during tho winter, and men ride fifty miles to attend them. It is amoug these nationalities that the bachelors and tho terrible solitude are found. The others, Hungarians, Ger mans, Mennonites, and the rest, herd to- gcther in little villages, and every man has a wife and children.

A Thief's Loss,

He soon after got out, and the young lady on getting to her stage on her way home stepped out as we'll, and found on put. ting her hand in her pocket that her purse was gone. She, however, found a strange article in her pocket, which, to her astonishment turned out to be the identical ring which her fellow trav- elcr had been so ostentatiously display ing. Examination proved that the ring was no flash article, jeweler apprais. ing it as of tho value of at least $150. Fortunately for the lady, there was only two shlllings in the purse which she lost. The ring had evidently slipped of the pickpocket's finger when he was in the act of abstracting the purse.

The summer advantages of the broken, mountainous country last referred to, are hardly known to the general public, but with succeeding years and increasing facilities for travc and entertainment, this comparatively unknown section will be resorted to ir summer by tens of thousands from tho south and southwest, and in winter iron the north and northwest.

The Curious Little Seallorse.

The seahorse is curious littlo crea- ture. It is not an animal, but fish. It is bony, has tufted gills and belongs to the pike family. It grows from six to eight inches long. The snout is pro- longed and tn, head elevated pos teriorIy, very much resem bling the head of a horse, the ears being represented by spiny coronet on the occiput. The tail is long and whiplike and without a fin. It is with the tail that the fish sus- pend themselves to seaweeds and other submarine objects. The eyes are promi- ncnt and can be moved independently of each other and in opposite directions. In swimming these fish always assume an upright position. Forest and Stream.

The Ages of Criminals,

Most criminals arc young. It is sell dom that grave crime, provided it be the first, is committed after the ago of thirty. A arelul statistician has proved that of the entire population of England and Wales the largest propor- tion of criminals is found between the ages of twenty and twenty five. Five times as many crimes arc committed in the five years between these limits as in tho ten years between the ages of fifty and sixty. Dividing tho whole popula- tion into groups of those from ten years to fifteen, from if teen to twenty, from twenty to twenty five, from twenty-five to thirty, from thirty to forty, forty to fifty, and from fifty to sixty, it is found that from the age of twenty the tendency to crime deer eases at each successive term thirty threo pc1 cent. in the case of women, and twenty five per cent. in the case of men.

How Horsehair Becomes a Snake.
 Dr. Page asked us if we didn't want to see horsehair that had turned to a snake. We did, and he drew bottle from his pocket, filled with water, in which was what appeared to be dim nutivo snake, five or six inches long, writhing and twisting, as if anxious to escape from the bottle. When put in the bottle it was nothing more than a hair from horses tail. Dr. Mathews says the hair does not undergo change, but that invisible animalcules that gen. crate in the water collect on the hair and make it twist and squirm after the manner of a snake or worm. It is held by good authority that many of the so- called animalcules have been shown to be plants, having locomotive powers something like animals; the motion, however, is not supposed to be volun- tary. But the horsehair makes first. class snake all the same. e.-[ Hartwell Sun
