New Treatment of Heart Disease.

1t is well known that at a certain stage
of heart disease dropsy inevitably sets in.
Professor German See, of Paris, has long
been experimenting with a view to dis
cover what element in milk rendered it
such an admirable agent to stimulate the
kidneys, increase the flow therefrom and
hence prove of such great service in
dropsies. The conviction which lie ar
rived at was hat the one important ele-
ment is sugar Of milk. Acting on that
theory he selected twenty-five patients
with heart disease, in all of which there
was more OF less dropsy. To each he
gave 100 grammes of the sugar Of milk
a day, dissolved in two quarts Of water.
In all these cases a marked effect on the
kidneys was felt within twenty-four to
forty-five hours, and the dropsies di-
unfinished rapidly, and after a series Of
treatment lasting from six to eight days,
almost all such swellings disappeared.
This discovery is regarded as one of the
most important which has been made in
the medical world for years.-New York

Mother Love.

There are, perhaps, a hundred babies
born here in the Female hospital every
year, and in 80 per cent. Of the cases
the unfortunate mothers do not bear the
names of the fathers of the children. II
the mother does not desire to care fol-
the little one we undertake to find it q
home, but, very strangely, these women
rarely care to part with their offspring.
There has not been a time since I as
sumed the SUPPLEMENTARY Of the insti-
tuition that / have not had applications
on file for infants which 1 could not fill.
The women leave here with their babes.
Perhaps they find them a burden later
on, and leave them on the steps Of some
friendly asylum. When we take charge
of an infant here, it is with the distinct
understanding that the mother shall be
in utter ignorance of its future guard
ians. The child must be surrendered
absolutely, for obvious reasons 1t is,
perhaps, for this reason that they prefer
the founding asylums, as they imagine
that the little N may at some future
time be traced out and secured should
happier days come.-Interview in st.

From statistics gathered by a promi-
nent life insurance company it appears
the occupation most conducive to lon
gevity is that of merchants. Next to
these in expectation of life come farm
ers; then follow in succession doctors,
lawyers, clergymen, shop keepers and
hotel keepers. 1t may be mentioned that
among hotel and saloon keepers, brewers
and wholesale liquor dealers the deaths
from consumption, heart disease and
zymotic diseases are comparatively few,
while the rate for nervous diseases and
diseases of the liver is extremely high.
Brokers follow hotel keepers as regards
average length of life, and then mechan'
ics.-Herald of Health.

A Great Encyclopedia.

A recent Pekin Gazette contains a me-
mortal from the chancellor of the Han
Ian or Imperial college on the necessity
for re-editing the great encyclopedia
compiled 100 years ago in the reign of
Kienlung, and of which only four copies
in manuscript are now supposed to exist.
This work, the index alone to which con-
sists Of fourteen large volumes, contains
a complete compendium of the classics,
and includes also a collection of every
thing written and revised by the empe-
rors themselves or published under inn
perial authority. 1t embraces, says the
chancellor, all knowledge under heaven,
and reflects, as in a mirror, the past and
nreSpnt.

An ingenious English school boy, who
wanted an answer to an arithmetical
problem, dropped into a g%rocer's store
on his way to school and said he wanted
certain commodities at certain prices.
After exhausting his list, he said: "Now,
if | give you a half sovereign, what
change shall l get back?' The grocer
told him, whereupon he thanked the
shopman and turned to go. "Wait for
the things" called the grocer; and his
disgust can be imagined when the urchin
told him he was late for school, and, as
he hadn't learned his arithmetic lesson,
he haa aaepted that method Of getting

Bridal Veil Falls in the Yosemite valley,
thus speaks Of the knocking birds found
in that vicinity: "Millions of brown
coated birds there were every where, un-
til the whole Of our very natures seemed
permeated with their music. Sometimes
low and sweet, again sad and plaintiye,
and then full, rich and triumphant, like
IA pecan of JOY and gladness, while we
looked at each other in wondering ST.

vas unexpectedly sweet, and that our
hearts could not contain more without
the relief of tears or shouts, the wind
died away and the water again struck
with an awesone roar into its rocky hol.

Paris for a chandelier, for which he paid
$1,000. 1t was very heavy and awkward
looking. The parts were screwed to-

heads showed plainly, and, though very
expensive, and in one sense elegant, it
did not please the New York millionaire.
He sent it to a store in New York, offered
it for 50, 800, for which price it went
begging, and it was finally sold in this
city for $500, and now hangs in the par
