Antipyrine Checks Bleeding.

The Ohio Dental journal tells of case
related by physician, in which boy of "a
suffered from persistent bleeding after the
extraction of a molar tooth. PerchIoride Of
iron was without effect, and SO much blood
was lost that syncope was induced. On re-
covery the hemorrhage again broke out, and
perchloridc of iron was once more tried, but
vainly. The cavity was then plugged with
two or three pledgets of Int stepped in solu-
ton of antipyrinc The bleeding at once
permanently ceased. 1t was noticed that
while the perchlorde caused severe pain, the
antipyrine was not objected TO. 1t is sug-
gested, not improbably, that the antpyretic
action of this and similar drugs may posi-
bly, he due to the fact that they diminish the
blood supply by their astringent effect on the
blood vessels

The Origin of Soils.

AS regards their immediate origin, soils are
either formed by the disintegration of the
underlying rock, in which case they are dis
tinguished as sodimentary ,mdigenousor local,
or they are brought from distance, as in the
case of glacial dctritus or the alluvium de
posted by n river near its mouth, and are
then called erratic, exotic or transported
soils
The origin Of local soils has been well illus
ira led by Professor i'ream, of London, Eng
lanl, by the mode Of formation Of the soil on
the impure ooltic limestone of the Cotteswold
hills
The figure represents the face of a quarry
the soil at the top is merely a superficial bed
between it (A) and the virgin rock (D) are
Gwo beds more or less distinct, which repre-
sent different stages in the Transformation of
the hard, solid rock into loose soil. The up
per lBl Of these two, generally termed the
subsoil, differs from the everything soil i'll con
tanning more carbonate Of lime, in being
greatly deficient in humus, and abounding in
stones the size of which increases with the
depth Tho other (Cj consists exclusively OF
these stones, which, becoming progressively
larger and larger, pass gradually into The
continuou> rocks below.

Eyeglasses or Spcctacles?

As to the choice between eyeglasses and
spectacles, says DR.. a. b. Norton in Medical
Classics, the patients own preference may he
entirely wrong. In the large majority of
cases fitted by the optician it may masD no
serious difference which the patient selects,
yet in very many instances it is of the great
est Importance; a, for example, n near
sighted person selects too strong glass, and,
by buying that glass in spectacle frames, he
is very apt to wear them longer than he
would if he had an eyeglass because they
would certainly tire the eye, and the eye
glass being easier TO remove would bc more
frequently taken Off and the eye rested
by wearing too strong near sighted glasses
continuously tho near sighteducss may be
very greatly increased and diseased condi-
ton of the interior of the eye caused which
may lead TO very great loss of sight and even
total blindness. Then in other cases, wear
ing an cycSlasS may do very much harm, be-
cause we frequently notice people with their
eyeglasses tipped at various angles. In these
cases that glass is acting as prism, and is
not doing the work it should but is causing a
strain upon the accommodation which may
be the starting point of long series of merry
Gus disorders. Again, the wearing of either
eyeglasses or spectacles without rims may in
some cases cause very annoying and njuri
Gus symptoms from the colors due to the prs
matte action of the edge of the glass.

A gentleman famous for his apt stories is
credited with the following amusing anec-
dote He tells that one day in a southern
city the train for the north was late, and rs
it drew up before the station there was great
haste to get the waiting express matter on
board In the midst Of the confusion a man
approached with dog in his arms and most
bewldcred expression in his face.
Look quick there!' shouted the waiting
express agent: 'where's thai dog GOING
The bewildered expression deepened on tho
mans face rs he gazed at the struggling
puppy in his arms, and he drawled out;
"Wel, | dunno, and he dunno, and no
body dunno, and he's eat his tag.' 4 pretty

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Calls on Various Occasions-The Usages OF
Polite Society.


Beside ordinary visits which serve to begin
and sustain an ucquaintanceship, there are
many other occasions when call is no less
important, and i'll regard to these Good
Housekeeping sums up prevailing social usages
as follows:
When a friend has visitor in her house
call is necessary, particularly in smaller
places. Of course no previous acquaintance
with the recipient of the favor is required :;
that she is our friends friend entities her to
the civitv.
II person whom we have previously met
visits at the house of one whom we do not
know, oar call must include the latter, and
in the event of missing either or BOTH cards
must be left This call, of course, requires
one in return from the visitor, but not neces-
sarily from her friend, though she may, if
she like, accompany her friend.
A call after an entertainment should be
made within the week and always in person.
The leaving Of a card would, in this case,
be iuexcusable unless because OF an mmc-
date departure from the town. when it would
be the only course
After the announcement of an engagement
a call is in order, though the recipient may
be otherwise in our debt This visit is, of
course, 10 allow us to express our congratula
tions. \ person about TO leave town for a
prolonged or final absence should make what
are known as "P. 7. C.n calls, these letters
signifying the French phrase, pour prendre
| conge'-to take leave
| Calls of coincidence require tact and deli
cacy rather than hard and fast rules. Ii the
| acquaintance between ourselves and the be-
reaved person is Slight, card should be left
after the funeral. When there Is some de-
gree of intimacy, apersonal cal may be made
before the funeral, and if our friend is unable
to see us, our card should be left bearing
some slight message of sympathy.
Calls upon a bride should be made very
soon after her return from her wedding trip,
if no day for such has been designated, and
as immediate a visit must he paid to tho mo
ther or person at whose house the reception
was held The bride returns her calls soon
and, as far as possible, i'll the order in which
they were made Her neglect to acquit her
self of these debts would be inexcusable, and
a person so careless would deserve to he so
oially forgotten.

To account for these appearances it is only
necessary TO bear in mind the solvent power
of water containing carbonic acid, and 10 re-
member that tho deeper such water perco-
lates downwards the more saturated with dis
solved carbonates will it become and there
fore the les capable Of elTecting further solu-
ton of rccl, substance The surface soil will
contain the silica and alumna which were
present in the impure limestone, some undis.
solved carbonate OF lime and humus
Very low forms OF vegetable life, such as
lichens and then MOSES, first appear on q
young soil, aud these disturb its chemi-
cal compositions. The decay of such low
plants gradually confers on the soil small
amount of huuus, and so it is slowly pre-
pared for the growth and nutrition of other
plants higher in tho scale.
