Pineapple Juice for DiIhtheria.

"Nature has her own remedy for diph-
theria," says Chicago ma. ''It is
nothing more nor less than pineapple
juice. declare that I havef found it to
be specific. 1t will cure the worst case
that ever mortal flesh was afflicted with.
/ did not discover the rem sdy. The
colored people of the South did that.
Two years ago was engaged in lumber
ing in Mississippi. One of ny children
was down with diphthcria, aid the ques
tion of his death was simply he problem
for a few hours to determine. An old col
ored man, to whom my wife had shown
some kindnesses, called at thehouse, and
saying he heard of my little ones ILL
ness, urged me to try pineapple juice.
The old fellow declared that il Louisiana,
where he came from, he had seen it tried
a million times, and that in each case it
had proved effective. So secured a
pineapple and squeezed out the juice.
After while we got some of it down the
boys throat, and in short time he was
cured. The pineapple should be thor
oughly ripe. The juice is of SO corrosive
a nature that it will cut out the diph-
theric mucus. tell you it is a sure
cure"

About Glaciers.

Glaciers are composed of frozen sno "
and not masses of clear ice as is sup
posed by those who have never seen
them. On the surface there is fine,
powder-like snow, below that it is
coarser, and beneath all is thick
stratum crushed and squeezed together
by the pressure of the mass above. The
contour of the mountains is we'll adapted
for keeping the accumulations of snow
and when the mass is coagulated suffi-
GENTLY it begins to flow out in the form
of tongue. At the surface the ice
moves faster than below where friction
retards it. In some cases glaciers move
few inches in day, but in Others they
move several feet in the same time.
Loose rock and debris of varying size
collect on the surface of the glaciers, and
this is CARED down the mountain size
until valley is reached, where the ice
melts, leaving the debris to cover the
surface of the land. .--Boste'. Transcript.

ENcE AND SOLITUDE.

Gods Of the desertl Ye are they
We shun from childhood's earliest nrea'n'
Our passing joys are but your prey;
We wait the hours from birth to deatn.
Over soft lawns where blossoms sleep
Under warm trees where love was oorh'
I see your naughty shadows creep
And wait to meet ye there forlorn.
Afar on ancient sands ye rest,
Caryen in stone, where ancient tnought
wrant We in terrors-shapes unbiest,
Dreadful, by might of ages wrought
But not alone on Egypts shores
Sleeps the great desert: every where
Where gladness lived and lives no more
There is desert of despair.
Strange messengers! Your brows OF gioo"
Haunt every creature born OK eartn;
Ye follow to the darkened room;
| Ye watch the awful hour of birth.
| Ye show the lovely way-side rose,
! Whose antique grace is born anew,
To eyes of grief Grief only knows
How tender is the sunsets hue.
Gods of the desert! By your hand
Through the sad waters are we prougoo
Into a high and peaceful land
To drink of fountains else unsought.
Annie Fields, in Harpers MogaS'ne.

LIGHT.

What does the blind man, blind from In
fancy,
Note in the vistas of his sleeping dreams
Living in darkness meath lights glowing
stream,
What can dreams show him that would
lovely be?
Loud would he sing, joy-brimming, suddenly
To know the blessing Of days faintest
gleam-
Brighter than bright dream pictures then
would beam
Life's radiant beauties in his vision free.
And would not we, reposing in the gloom,
Dreaming in shadow, reft by death of
sight,
In awe-struck joy and wonder wake to see,
Like the day breaking into sudden bloom,
About us burst the rolling sea of light
That gilds the white shores of eternityi

Manhattan Sold for S25.

+ According to popular tradition the
Island of Manhattan was sold in 1924
sor the sum of $25. The conclusion one
would naturally jump to would be that
in the light of subsequent events the sum
was ridiculously small price. But let
US suppose that $25 had been placed out
at seven per cent. interest in the year
1924 and had been allowed to compound
up to the year 1884, how much would it
then haveamounted toa Something in the
neighborhood of 81, 600, 900, 600. Is the
Island of Manhattan worth much more
than that ?-Phdrmdceuticdl Era.

A groom's right to wear moustache
has been tried in England, with the
courts decision in his favor. When
Mrs. Grimshaw's groom was engaged he
was smooth shaven, but after cold he
grew moustache by his doctors adj
vice, whereupon Mrs. Grimshaw ordered
him to shave or go without notice. The
Judge held that the demand was un-
reasonable. If he had been a house
servant, wearing powder and white silk
stockings, suggests the Boston Tran
script, he might have been required to
shave; but a groom was an outdoor SER
want, and a moustache was natural
protection against the weather. The
plaintif.got $25 damages.

The German press is not allowed a
special rate on its telegraphic corre-
spondence, the Government making no
discrimination. In all other countries
press dispatches are transmitted at
greatly reduced rates, but DR.. Stephen,
Director of the German Telegraph, re-
Gently declared that he saw no reason
whatever for favoring the newspapers
thus. As a result of his illiberal policy,
notes the Chicago Post, the press
messages of Germany constitute only
II per cent. of the total traffic, and the
German newspapers are among the dullest
on earth.
