Forest Destruction and Floods.

The recent appalling occurrence in
the Conemaugh Valley is a forcible
reminder of the intimate relations eX-
listing between forest destruction and
floods. 1t is a lesson which should
sink deep into the minds of all This
calamity, in connection with the dis.
astrous inundation of the Ohio valley
some years ago, and the periodical
overflow of the Mississippi, all point
to the inevitable consequences of reck-
less and extensive devastation of our
mountain slopes. Although the break
ing of the dam was the immediate
cause of the late misfortune, the
primary cause was the naked condi-
ton of the adjacent mountain, from
whence came the deluge of waters in
such volume that no human agency
could withstand it. Had the noun
tains possessed their natural covering
of timber and underground. the de-
scent of the storm water would have
been gradual, with comparatively
little resulting injury.
The dire event is full of warnings
for this and other mountainous dis
tricts. 1t teaches the urgent need of
preserving the forests as a prime
factor in regulating the flow of
streams, In the Rocky mountain
region, through the agency of the
general government, steps are being
taken preliminary to the constructions
of reservoirs and canals for irrigation
purposes. The extreme danger of so
placing reservoirs or dams that the |
retained waters become a menace to
the country below should now be evil
dent to all. Engineering skill and
good sense should unite in the prosecu.
ton of all works for the storage of |
water. How easy it would be to so
locate and construct storage reservoirs
along our mountain range that Den
yer, Manitou, Pueblo and other valley |
towns would be in constant jeopardy {! |
Let US pause long enough to reflect
upon these matters, and act in the |
light of reason and sad experience

Twins Once IN Ninety Births.

There is wonderful lack of statis-
tics in this country, particularly in
births, and some steps should be taken
to remedy it. Statistics are dull
things at best, to be sure, but they
have their value, especially in com"
parsons. In the old countries, for ill.,
stance, it has been ascertained that
twins are born once out of 80 births,
while triplets are to $3.50. This we
can scarcely believe. It does not seem
possible that twins are as frequent as
one to ninety, but IL mas been found tc
be the case in census after census.
Just in the same way triplets seem tc
be more numerous than to $3.50, but
that they are not has been equally well
proven. Here we know what the birth.
rate is compared to- the population,
but we can't tell if we have as many
double and triple births as they do il
the old country. l believe we have,
though I have brought moro thar
ninety children into the world, anG
have never even had any experience
with twins. The next physician YOU
meet. however, may have had one o.

QUEER CREATURES.
How Fish Are Caught in the Western
Rivers of China.

How Fish Are Caught in the Western
Rivers of China.
AChinese journal gives the follow
ing curious facts respecting some of
the western rivers of that country:
The waters are perfectly clear, and the
people do not use nets in fishing, but
in the winter season construct RATS,
and from these throw on the water a
mixture OF wheat and the seeds of a
species OF fern pounded together.
which being eaten by the fish, they
appear to be killed, and rise to the
surface, but in short time come to life
again. This they call making the fish
drunk.
In Eastern Turkestan fish are OBJ
tanned in a similar manner: In the
spring, when the melted snow has
swollen the rivers, the fish are seen
swimming about in all quarters; the
fishermen Immediately make a. so}u-
ton of herbs and sprinkle it on the
water, by which the fish become per-
fectly stupid and are easily caught.
Mohammedans do not eat them to
any great extent, except when uul-
berries are ripe, which are Away eaten
| with them.
BY the same authority curious ac-
count is also given of poisonous spe-
cies OF lizard. 1t is amphibious, ]iv-
ing in mountain creeks. Its forefee,
are like those of a monkey, the hind
ones resembling those of dog; it has
a long tail, is seven or eight feet loug.
and has the cry of child, which is in
Dictated by one of its names. It climbs
trees, and in times of drought fills its
mouth with water, and, conceali' g it.
self in the Jungle. covers it's body with
leaves and grass and expands it's jaws.
Birds seeking the water therein Gus
tanned attempt to Stake their thirst in
the trap. when they are soon gulped
down. The poison that it contains is
removed by suspending it from tree
and beating it until all flows out in the
form of a white fluid.
Travellers in Mexico, however, de-
scribe a still more awkward customer
OF this species---a lizard which, as the
natives declare, Will bite the shadow
OF q person passing by, with the result
that he or she is afflicted for some time
after with severe pains in the head. -

= Boston Paper Calls Sun-Strole tho Legal
Amulet of Our Day.
The plea of insanity as a defense in
criminal actions is becoming pretty
threadbare, but a device by which the
same effects are secured seems to be
working admirably. Nowadays it is
the fashion to claim that the criminal
in any action, whether it be theft,
blackmail, murder or what not, is the
victim of sun-stroke. Apparently a
sun-stroke is the most convenient thing
a person can possibly have. 1t allows
him to continue his ordinary course of
life uninterruptedly, but confers upon
him the privilege of doing any thing
his vagrant fancy may suggest, quite
unhampered by moral or legal restric-
lions.
The Irishman who described a "child
of fancy as child who did whatever
he fancied was not very far out of the
way in describing the condition of a
man who has been so fortunate as to
have sunstroke. That lucky acct
dent places him above responsibility.
A man in a Western city amused him.
self recently by firing q revolver into
a crowd. wounding three persons, one
of them fatally. A physicians certif-
cate was produced, stating that. owing
to the effect of a sunstrol1e received in
India, the prisoner was at times ire
sponsible for his actions. OF course
here was nothing to be said after
that, and even the idea of shutting the
man up seemed to his intelligent and
impartial judges q superhuous precau.
ton. He was allowed to go at large
on the strength Of his lucid intervals,
the inference being that the officials
themselves were not troubled by any
thing of that sort.
It would not be difficult to multiply
instances, although it is hardly neces-
sary; whoever has thought of the mat
ter must have recognized the con-
vincing nature of the argument from
sunstrole when properly applied to
the average jury. TO one who has any
inclination toward @ disregard of the
laws of sunstroke would seem to be of
the greatest possible benefit. It is a
thing, moreover, SO easy to have, SO
difficult to disprove, and so admirably
flexible in it's effects, that it would
seem a matter of the most obvious
policy for whoever is likely ever to
find himself at variance with authority
to provide himself with a certificate
of sunstroke at Once.-B0ston Courier.

USES OF MUSTARD.
One of tho Most Fiji ca cious of Domestic
Medicinal Agents.

One of tho Most Eflca cious of Domestic
Medicinal Agents.
Few domestic remedies are of greater
value than common mustard. AS a
condiment and agreeable stimulant to
Che digestive organs, it is found upon
almost every table. Used in this form
it will sometimes relieve obstinate hic-
cough. The rnbroken seed of the
white mustard is Of some Value as q
laxative when taken in tablespoonful
doses.
OF moro Importance is the use of
mustard as an emetic. A tablespoon
full OF ordinary ground mustard taken
in a cupful of warm water will produce
copious vomiting in from two to five
minutes. On this account. and because
it is almost always at hand it is es-
pecially valuable in emergencies. In
cases of poisoning by opium or other
narcotics, it is without an equal rs a
domestic emetic.
But by far the most important use
of mustard is as counter-irritant. A
mustard paste is second to nothing but
opium in it's power to relieve internal
pain. whether arising from congestion,
Inflammation or spasm. Indeed, it is
superior to opium, in that, while
opium relieves pain by benumbing
sensibility, mustard does it by remov-
ing the condition upon which it de-
ponds. It acts by stimulating certain
nerve fibers which preside over the
capillary blood-vessels, dilating the
vessels themselves. and thus increas-
ing the flow of blood to the surface
and relieving congestion of internal
organs. The general law is that,
when deep-seated parts are affected,
the counter-irritant should be placed
directly over the painful part. In case
of superficial neuralgias, it is desira-
BILE to apply it over the roots of tho
nerves supplying the part.
The mode Of making tho paste is a
matter of some consequence. The
mustard -four should be fresh. It
should be wet up with cold or worm
water, never with hot water or vine
gar Generally speaking, it is better
to mix it with an equal or even great
err quantity of rye meal or wheat -four.
It should be mixed to the consistency
of thin dough. spread upon thick
cloth, and covered with muslin or
other thin cloth. It should rarely be
kept on over twenty minutes or hall
an hour, and never long enough to
produce blistering. ...
Used in this way, in the first stages
| of an attack of collie, Inflammation OF
the bowels, pleurisy, bronchitis, pneu-
monia or other similar affection, tic
pain may be almost always relieved,
and in large proportion Of cases the
disease broken up without further
treatment. The method is safe, sim
pie, and will meet the approval o.
nearly every physician. Housewife. q
