Cotton is quoted in the local market at

Those who have cotton on hand at the

The Cure of Consumption.

The Boston Herald recently mentioned
the case of the father of a highly re-
spectcd Boston physician who, at a some.
what late stage of consumption, when so
weak as to be hardly able to walk, took
his horse and chaise, and with friend as
a companion, journeyed from place to
place for several weeks, and returned
thoroughly cured.
What was the secret of that cure?
Clearly not medical drugs. Yet it is just
these that the consumption generally re-
lies on almost exclusively, taking the pre-
scription daily in his cushioned chair,
until he is lifted to his bed, to wear out
the little remnant of his life.
From first to last his medicines have
merely, or mainly, made him feel more
comfortable, while the disease has stead
lily progressed to the fatal end.
In the case of the wiser man mentioned
above, pure air was the chief element of
cure; and the pure air was kept pure,
for, while his own breathing tended to
infect it, he was conatantly leaving the
infection behind him. To the consump-
tive pure air is always the first requisite,
and the main value of winter resorts is in
their allowing the patient to spend so
large part of his time out OF doors.
A distinguished physician once said
that if he were attacked with consump-
ton, he would build a shed to his house
and sleep in it. Thus, through the free
circulation, he would avoid the constant
rebreathing of his own infected breath.
But in the case under consideration,
the breathing of pure air was not the only
advantage of the course pursued. The
mans daily travel gave him a gentle ex-
ercise suited to his condition. Disease
can be thrown off only by the activity of
various life-processes-digestion, assimi-
lation, secretion, excretion, and the many
chemical and vital changes.
Now it is an established fact that a
certain amount Of physical exercise is es-
sential to such activity of the vital pro-
cesses. In the case of the sick, it is es-
pecially essential, since the system must
be daily rlddlng Itself OF morDld matter,
and be making unwontcd draughts on its
recuperative power.
In some cases horses back would be
better than a chaise; but the exercise
must be suited to the particular case. 1t
must never be fatiguing.
Another element of the cure was the
change of scene. 1t is a great help to
have the mind diverted from ones symp-
toms, and pleasantly taken up with new
surroundings, as far as possible removed
from ordinary business care and the ac-
customed routine of thought.
But consumption is disease which
specially demands aid in keeping up a
feeble appetite. The invalid must be
enabled to eat liberal supply of easily
digested food, and the above conditions
all tend to serve him in this direction.

Shedding His .AntlerS.

"Come with me and 1 will shcw you
something curious" said Dan Neeson,
the keeper of the deer park at Golden
Gate Park, to a reporter the San Fran
cisco Examiner. ''Our great elk stag,
the one we got few months ago from
Menlo Park, has shed his horns, and you
would not recognize him"
On reaching the fence that surrounded
the pen, the elk was found at the fodder
trough. calmly eating his dinner of
cracked barley, and apparently oblivious
to the curious crowd that surrounded
him. He was hardly recognizable. The
magnificent antlers that had rendered
him the admiration of the visitors were
missing, and nothing remained but raw,
bloodmarkcd hubs. The elk was as
docilc as cow, and submitted without
opposition to the caresses of the crowd,
and appeared to thoroughly enjoy their
strokings.
"He shed his horns on Saturday morn
ing continued the keeper. "Of late
he has been more than usually ferocloas,
in fact so much so that il was dangerous
to my life to enter the pen to feed the
deer. On Friday he would not allow me
to enter the enclosure at all. On Satur-
day morning failed to find him in his
usual place, and on my way to the deer
house to hunt him up came across one
of his antlers in the gully and within a
short distance I found the other. Ithen
knew what was the matter"

Match. Making In Russia.

Marriages solemnized in Russia are moi
supposed, as with US. to be made IN
heaven. The manner in which they are
frequently brought about is simplicity it.

which has not yet acquired the right OF
citizenship in Russia, gossiping match
makers perambulate the country, each
keeping to his or her district, and, like
Irish hedge schoolmasters two generations
ago, everywhere sure of a welcome. In
Bakhmoot, for instance, you have scarcely
taken possession of your room in your
hotel when well-drcssed man walks in,
makes a profound bow, and asks you
bluntly: "Would your nobility think
of marrying2" If cxcusable curiosity OF
less cxcusable desire to exchange single
for married misery prompts you to give
him civil answer, he lays album after
album before you with the photographs
of eligible brides and bridegrooms, ac-
cording to your sex, on which are in
scribcd marginal notes containing brief
but interesting details about the social
position, fortune, expectations and draw
backs of the original. He discusses the

Profits in Alligator Hunting.

The demand for full grown alligators
in Northern museums and aquariums be.
gin with the warm days of the spring,
says the Savannah (Ga.) Nsus, and many
an alligator's retreat has been carefully
marked by the alligator catchers, who,
when the signs are ripe, will dig the
saurians out and sell them at from 81 to
So per foot, according to the length Of
the animals. The colored natives loor
ropes around the big alligators and drag
them out in triumph.
Gugie Bourquin, who is an authority
in such matters, says that he has known
$25 to be offered for twelve-foot alli-
gator. The colored men on his place
have two big fellows "holed," and when
the weather is warmer they will be dug
out. He gives the hunters the alligators,
and they give him all the terrapins found
in the holes.
Queerly enough the alligator and the
terrapin live in the same domicile and
upon terms of the utmost harmony. This
may be due to the fact that the swallow
ing capacity of the alligator is not equal
to the occasion, as only small particles
can be swallowed by the saurians, the gul'
let being disproportioned to the anatomy
of the alligator's mouth, and as a result
of which when the alligator kills such
animals as dogs and hogs, it is said they
guard their prey until decomposition sets
in, so that the food may be in such q
condition as to make deglutitlon easy:
The alligators are said to be getting
fewer in the waters of this section, as
they are continually being hunted and
killed from the time they come out until
they lay up again for the winter. Hun.
dreds of them are shot for the mere sport
of shooting and no effort is made to find
them after they are shot. 1t is only in
unfrequented streams and along marshes
and impenetrabIe swamps where they are
now numerous.

A year or two before Byron's death, John
Sheppard. Esq, of Frome wrote to him,
saying, that among the papers left by lady
who had died about two years before, and
for whom he was an executor, he had found
prayer which she had presented on his be-
half, a copy of which he forwarded TO his
Lordship Lord Byron, in Il courteous
reply, bore this striking testimony to the
happiness CT true Christians.
"1ndisputably, the firm believers IN the,
Tor this simple reason, that, if true, they
will have their reward hereafter. and If
there be no hereafter they can but be with
the infidel in his eternal sleep, having had
the assistance of an exalted hope through
life without subsequent disappointment
since, at the worst for them, out of nothing
nothing can arise, not even sorrow. '-Se-

Small fellowship of daily commonplace
We hold together. dear, constrained to go
Diverging ways. Yet day by day know
Ny life is sweeter for thy life's sweet
grace;
And if we meet but for a moments space,
Thy touch, thy word, sets all the world
aglow,
Faith scars serener, haur ting doubts shrink
low.
AbaShed before the sunshine Of thy face.
Nor press of crowd, nor waste of distance
serves
To part us. Every hush of evening brings
Some hint of thee true-hearted friend Of

And as the farther planet thrills and swerveS
When toward it through the darkness Sat

Even so my spirit feels the spell o. thine.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

A machine for taking soundings has
been invented which does not require
that the vessel be stopped for the work.
There are thirty-two compositions on
the market toprevent submarine growths
on iron ships, aud none of them 20 the
work.
Wood pulp is now being used as the
basis of plastic compound to serve as a
substitute for mortar in covering and
finishing walls.
A question that is now puzzling sclen-
lists is: If a magnetized horseshoe will
suspend a piece of iron for ages, con-
stantly expending force, where does it
get its force2
1t has been found that steel ships
possess magnetism that is permanent, and
this has, in some instances, greatly
affected the needle. The magnetism
seems to be acquired during building.
1t is claimed that wall paper can be
made in such way that the passage of
low-tension electric currents will heat it
moderately warm to the touch and diffuse
throughout the room an agreeable
temperature.
An English electrician has invented a
material that he calls "alterion," for the
prevention Of corrosion in boilers. The
interior of the boiler is coated with this
material. and from time to time electrical
currents are sent through it.
The conclusions reached by modern
msteorologists are that cyclones of great
intensity are ascending spiral whirls OF
wind having a rotary motion in dlrec-
ton in the northern hemisphere opposite
to the movement of the hands of watch
Mention is made of the fact that
Euphorbia rubber, which up to a COM
paratively recent date has been employed
only to very limited extent, is now
ascertained to possess certain qualities OF
special value in plumbing and steam
fitting.
A marine algae is found in the Arctic
regions growing at temperature far be-
low zero, while at the higher tempera-
lures the spores disappear. From this
fact it appears that some vegetable life
requires for its existence intense cold
and continuous dryness, and to tia. class
the cryptogams of red snow probably be-
long.
