Concerning Intermittent. Fever.

Residence in valleys or on lOwlands
through which or upon which cold air
flows at night, and thus causes insidious
changes in the atmospheric temperature,
favors intermittent fever. In our climate
those measures, such as drainage, which
enable the soil to retain warmth during
the night, and thus reduce the daily range
OF temperature Immediately over such
soil, tend to decrease intermittent fever
among residents thereon. In the cure
and prophylaxis of Intermittent fever
those remedies are useful which lessen
torpidity especially Of the liverl and tend
to increase the power of the body to react
promptly to insidious changes in atnos-
pheric temperature -Saence.

The newsboys frequenting the City
Hall park at night have invented new
sort of baseball game, which they
play when the sparrow policemen
are not about. They usually choose the
long, brightly lighted wall in front Of
the city hall for the game, and nearly
every night they attract a crowd Of pc
destrians by their play. The difference
between their game and the real game
is that instead Of throwing and batting
a bail they place it on the ground and

The art of the florist has made wonder

seventeen feet high, with a dome sup

STOPPING. There are three fountains and
thirty varieties of plants. The front Of
the base has a calendar of growing plants
in portable boxes and the back a Shield

near have pronounced this design the best

attracts much attention, as it accurately
tells the time Of day by pole of growing

port of the Purchase Act; but, unlucklly, these
men are commonly unaware of the deadly at
tacls which are being made by the lumbermen
uron the woods in which the streams originate
which form the headwaters of the Hudson, the
Black and the Mohawk, and therefore take no
interest in the various forest preservation bills.
Not even the fact that the storage reservoirs
of the Erie Canal are situated in the Adlron-
dack woods and depend for their water supply
upon the streams which wind through them
arouscs the Senators and Assemblymen from
the "canal countless to energetic action TO
preserve the forests.
But there must be decisive action soon Tor
tho protection of these forests or the State will
have reason for profound regret that it has

spondent describing the vast operations OF

purchasos of forest lands made by Western
umbcrmcn are at once significant and startling
II is also bad news that the lumber railroads
arc being extended, widening the territory OF

and lake scenery in the Adirondacks also IS
being spoiled by the erection of river dams.
Lastly. the summcr-tourist business, which has
reached enormous proportions in the Adiron-
dack region. is threatened with destruction by
the sweeping away of the woods and the pur-
chase by exclusive sporting clubs OF tho lands

The State must act. The same patriotic
spirit that was shown when Niagara Falls was

rondacl forests, would, we believe, succeed in
guarding those noble woods from destruction.

enterprise ard treasure Portugal made no
claims to the land until recently, when she
suddenly put them forward, presumably with
the object of divertng thereby the attention
of her people from the growth of the repub-
lCan movement at home.
This attempted diversion has failed. For
popular evaporation at Lisbon against the
Ministers has become so intense that they have
been forced to resign. The Government is
overwhelmed with abuse, both by those who
blame it for yielding to the British ulti-
matum and by those who assail its policy in
involving the country in such dispute with
Great Britain. OF course, the Republicans are
taking advantage of the situation to inyeigh
against what they describe as the pusiilanm-
ity of the King" in the matter. And IN Wow OF
the fact that Iona BfandaS, one OF the com
handing Generals, has openly ploicSscd his

laturc the bill authorizing them to purchase
such OF the Adirondack forest lands as they
believe ought to be added to the states forest
preserve.
Unfortunately, the will OF the Forestry
Commissioners is not that Of the Legislator" :
and therefore we warn those who strongly
favor the preservation Of the forests that they
must rot be in the least confident that tho
legislation suggested by the Forestry Commits
,oncrs will be- adopted, but that, on the con
trary, they have too much reason To fear,

lives in the Legislature Of those counties OPP
pose every practical measure by which it is
proposed to put a stop to the destruction OF
the woods. 1t was the numbering men acting
