At a meeting of the ST. Paul Chamber Of

cation, which presents much food for the
thoughts Of the agriculturists OF this section

Tobacco Smoke and Meat.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

FROM IQo Fall Mall GaZoute.
Smokers, beware tor once again
science has found weak place IN your
armor. This time it is M. Bourrier, the
French scientist, who mas been on the
warpath against you, and after great
number Of experiments he has solved
the question as to whether tobacco
smoke has an ill effect on meat. The
results of M. Bourrier's Investigations
are somewhat depressing, not only to
smokers themselves, but to all those
people who are apt to buy their meat
from butcher at whose establishment
smoking is not prohibited.
In the first instance, NJ. Bourrier
made handsome present of two pieces
Of flesh, raw meat, which had, been
fumigated with tobacco smoke, to dog.
The dog, however, would have none
of it till it was daintily wrapped up in q
thick layer Of minced meat, and then
the foolish animal greediiy devoured
the morsel. Result: cit was the dog
that died" Next piece of veal and q
piece of horsefesh were fumigated in
the same manner. and two rats were in
vired to partake of the delicacies.
Which they did, and persisted.
Experiments were made with boiled,
roast, grilled, and stewed meat, and 1T
was ascertained the less the meat was
cooked the more it was liable to absorb
and retain the poison. Thus, what M.
Bourrier calls "bifteck saignant," and
what In this country would, perhaps, be
better known as "underdone beef
steak" proved very liable to take the
infection, while boiled and salt beef was
less susceptible.

The Chinese Theory Of Evolution.

The Chinese Theory Of Evolution.
Adele NJ. Fielde, in Popular Science Monthly.
The rocks are the bones of the Dl-
vine body, the soil is the flesh, the met
ais are the nerves and veins; the tide,
wind, rain, clouds, frost and dew are all
caused by its respirations, pulsations
and exhalations. Originally the noun
tains rose to the armament, and the
seas covered the mountains to their
tops. At that time there was in the
Divine body no life besides the divine
lite. Then the waters subsidized; small
herbs grew, and in the lapse of cycles
developed into shrubs and trees.
AS the body of man, unwashed
for years. breeds vermin, SO
the mountains, unlaved by the
seas, bred worms and insects, greater
creatures developing out of lesser.
Beetles in the course of ages became
tortoises, earth orms became eerpents,
high flying insects became birds, some
of the turtle doves became pheasants,
egrets became cranes, and wild cats be-
came tigers. The praying mantis was
by degrees transformed into an ape,
and some of the apes became hairless.
A hairless ape made fire by striking
crystal upon rock, and, with the spark
struck out. igniting the dry grass. With
the fire they cooked food. and by eating
warm victuals they grew large, strong,
and knowing, and were changed to men.
SOME Maine physicians declare that
Jamaica ginger drunkenness" is
growing to most serious proportions in
that State.

Trinity is Mighty Rich.

From the New Ork Times.
The Rev. DIR. Morgan Dix has ad-
dressed letter to the Churchmen in
the correction of an exaggerated state
ment of the value of the property
owned by Trinity Church. He says:
ut is said in the item referred to that
our property is worth $4,000, O00
This is an astonishing exaggera ion. It
far surpasses statements on the same
subject which | have again and again
corrected in our year book and In the
secular journals OF this country. Let
me give your readers demonstration
of the wildness of the estimate.
'sThe income of $150,OO0,000 at per
cent. would be 81 100000. Or property
is managed on strict business princi-
Piles ana with the earnest desire to
make it available to the fullest extent
for the purpose ofour trust, bat the en-
tire income from that property for the
year ending July 81. 1889, hardly, if at
all, exceeded $5S0,000. The difference
between $3.50, 900 and 81 100000 may be
taken as fair expression of the differ
ence between the value Of the property
of our parish as fancifully estimated and
its actual value for practical purposes. :"

Plucking and shearinc Geese.

TIOul Tie american AST1CulGuF1SI.
A curious case Came before an En-
glish court for adjudication recently. A
poulterer was charged with cruelty to
1orty-eight live geese by plucking them
of their feathers, and the owner of the
geese was charged with procuring the
commission of the offense. The pro-
ceedings were taken by the Society for
the Protection of Cruelty to Animals.
A witness swore that latter the geese
were plucked their skins turned to a
purple color and they seemed to be in
pain. They walked about with their
backs up, and shrank when touched"
The practice was shown by defendants
to be very prevalent, and the society
asked for nominal fine, to pat stop
to it. The defendants said it was the
custom OF the district to pluck the feath
ers every six weeks, and If they were
stopped from doing SO many people
would discontinue keeping geese. The
Court imposed a fine of Is shillings
upon the defendants, and expressed
the hope thatit would be warming to
the other people. Plucking live geese
and ducks prevails all over the United
States.
There is species of large water fowl
whose habitat in winter is the open
lakes of the interior. and their feathers
almost equal those of elder down, as
the stiff, troublesome quilts are absent.
Shearing geese and ducks could be
made to supersede plucking.

About the Green Christmas.

From the New York Journal of Commerce.
There is more illness with a green
christmas, it is true, but the difficulty
ls not IN the weather, but in the folly Of
those who insist on treating it as a
usurper. In very cold weather the
winter attire with which most persons
are provided, does not induce perspir-
alton, and hence few who are thus clad
suffer from the check which comes to
such state from exposure. No chilling
wind or frosty air will give 'cold," as
the affection is commonly called, if the
skin is dry, no matter how thin the
covering. And no one whose body is
moist with sweat can safely sit in q
draught no matter how thick the attire.
