COcoanut For TapeWorm.

Prof. Parish of Athens some time
since called attention to the tanicide
properties of the cocoanut, when
freely ingested. His attention was
drawn to the subject from an acci-
dental experience in his own case.
While travelling in Abyssinia, he
one day took considerable guam
tity Of the nut, sufficient to produce
an attack of diarrhea. After awhile,
much to his surprise, with one of
these diarrhea! motions, there came
away complete tania, head and
all, and quite dead. After his re-
turn to Athens he made some OBJ
servations in this line Of treatment,
and reported an almost invariable
success. In only one instance did
he fail to secure the head. His
method was to order the milk and
pulp of one cocoanut, to be taken In
the morning, fasting, no purgation
or cessation from business being
required. In this country DR.. Ali
son has reported, in the Medical
Age, case where the use of Filix
mas, oil of turpentine, and chloro-
form had successfully failed to eff
feet complete removal of the par
asite, but in which the patient by
chance partook of cocoanut, and
soon after was relieved Of dead
tapeworm with its head. Since then
he has had occasion to prescribe
cocoanut in this trouble, and has
found it the pleasantest of all the
t@nicides, and one that does not
require the administration of a ca
thartic. Y. Medical Journal.

Too Much for Ned.

Governor Nichols of Louisiana,
as most people know, has lost an
arm and leg, but so deftly have
the artificial members been fitted
to the stumps that but few people
are in the secret of his loss. His
colored servant was left behind on
the occasion of his last visit in
Vicksburg, and they put at his dis
posal during his stay there likely
young lad, who was told to try and
take the old body servants place.
That night, when Governor Mich
oils was ready to retire. he stretched
out one of his legs to Ned, the SER
want, and said: "Ned, unscrew that
leg" Ned's eyes began to open
with horror, but he obeyed and took
the leg off. Governor Nichols
then said, calmly stretching out an
arm: MED, ~unscrew that arm. "
The boy rolled up his eyes until
nothing but the whites could be
seen, but he obeyed and unscrewed
the arm. The Governor, who now
realized his condition Of mind, de-
termined to have q little fun with
him, so, reaching out his neck, he
said: Ned. unscrew that head. !"

Big Money In a Necktie.

His .necktie was worth $4,000.
A plain, black, ordinary-looking,
everyday, fourin-hand, but worth
$4,000. He was a traveller who
had just come in on the Santa Fe
route direct from Arizona, and he
removed his coat and vest prepara-
tory to cleaning his cinder-speckled
face in a lavatory of prominent
Michigan-avenue hotel. With the
carelessness of a Western man, he
flung his coat and vest on a con-
tiguous chair, but his necktie, his
four-in-hand, he carefully rolled up
in small compass and thrust deep
into his trousers pocket.
This unusual exhibition Of caution
excited the curiosity of a friend and
the natural query, "Wherefore2"
developed most ingenious device.
That necktie is worth just S2O,-
900 plus the cost price of the article
itself. Sabe?"
The smile of incredulity brought
the valuable piece of black silk to
view again. With his pen-knife the
traveller opened the seam, and, un,
folding the ripped portions, dazzled
the eyes of the skeptic with ten
crisp. clean 81 1000 bills. "Ten

Substance for a Big Book.

Perverted health affects mans
physical, social and personal we'll
being. Riches and fame are buta
bagatelle compared with sound
body. We must have fish to sup
ply nerve food; fats, sugar and
starches to feed the body, and meat,
the white of eggs and flour that is
not too refined to furnish the mus
cles. Vegetables are indispensable,
or scurvy will ensue. While alco-
hol, tea, coffee, tobacco and cheese
are accessory foods they are injuri-
Gus, because they prevent the nat
ural waste of the body. Too much
of fuel making foods are apt to pro-
mote inflammation. Cheese should
be eaten only in small quantities
after meals, when it aids the secre-
ton of juices. Man should keep
regular hours, take exercise, give
his brain a chance to rest, and let
cheerfulness prevail at the table. A
nap after dinner is conducive of
much good. A man should take4a
bath or wash his body with towel
every day, to keep open the mill
ions of pores. The body of the
average man generates sufficient
heat to raise forty-four pounds of
ice to the boiling point, and if the
pores are not kept clean this in
hammatory agent is confined and
accomplishes mischief. Sleeping
apartments should be we'll ventil-
ated, with the top of the window
lowered an anch to let out the i'm
pure air and.thelower window raised
an inch to let in the pure air.s1f the
night is cold put on more blankets.
Every man should havseight hours
of sound sleep.-Baltimore Sun.

The End of the World.

Of all changes, that change has
most interest for us which affects
our own planet, the earth. It has
reached a later stage than Saturn,
though not so late a stage as the
moon; but only in long ages and
by minute effects will further chan
ges be noted. Ages hence it may
be discovered that there is some
slight change in the earth's orbit;
or Mercury, yet nearer to the sun
than we, may be seen to pursue a
smaller orbit than now, and the
terrible fact may come home to man
that we are drawing nearer to the
sun. Time goes on, and the tropics
become too hot for existence, and
colder regions = find a welcome
change to warmth. Age after age
goes by, and the end is, visibly, no
nearer but the figures of astrono-
mers only too surely tell their tale.
In time the tropics will become an
impossible desert and all the life
on the globe will congregate around
the poles. Spain has lost her vine
yards and the Alps their snow !;
England is burning desert and
Greenland teens with the vegeta-
ton of the tropics; in smaller cir
cles the inhabitants gather round
the poles.
"But," to quote the words of Mr..
Keightley Miller, "the narrowed
limits of the habitable earth can no
longer support this vast increase Of
population, and famine begins to
NOW down its victims by millions.
Now, indeed, the end of all life
draws on apace. The heat and
drought become more and more
insupportable, rain and dew fall no
longer. All springs of water fail,
and the rivers dwindle down to
streamlets and trickle slowly over
their stony beds, and now scarcity
Of water is added to scarcity of food
Those who escape from the famine
perish by the drought. and those
who escape the drought are reserved
for a fate more awful yet. For a
time the few remaining inhabitants
are partially screened from the over
whelming power of the sun by a
dense canopy Of clouds formed by
the evaporation of every lake and
sea. But soon the sun scOrches up
these vapor banks and dissipates
them into space as fast as they can
form. Then the fiery orb shines
out in an unutterable splendor with
out the slightest cloud-wreath to
interpose between himself and his
victims. Then the last denizens of
the world are stricken down and
consumed-the last traces of or
ganic life are blotted from its sur
face. "--Loughman's Magazine.

Game In the Yellowstone.

recently L saw over tnree num-
dred antelope on Specimen Ridge
at an altitude of 5000 feet. Several
large bands of these beautiful ami
mails can be seen in the Blacktail
country. So many antelope when
seen by hunters remind them, they
say, of old times, the good old times
when game was abundant every
where. It is useless to attempt to
convey to the Eastern mind any
idea of the number of elk in the
park. One can simply say there are
thousands of them. The country
at times looks like an overstocked
cattle range during a roundup.
Elk everywhere in large and small
bands. | recently had the pleasure
of watching band of over 400 for
an hour. They were in an open
park on Specimen Ridge, and I
was about 800 yards from the CEN
ter of the band. Myself, horse and
dog were in plain sight on ridge.
Other elk were scattered about on
ridges and in the edge of timber. It
is possible they took us for elk, for
they paid no attention to me what
ever. l saw fights between bulls,
one which lasted as long as | re-
manned in sight. 1t was between
two of equal size, but one had only
one horn, the other beam seemed
to have been broken off close to his
head. | could hear their clashing
horns rs they made dive at each
other, and could see with nv glasses
that my one-horned friend was
holding his own very well, some
times pushing the other bull back
bodily, when again it would be his
turn to get the worst oft. He would
be braced but would be moved back,
all four feet sliding on the ground.
1t was very interesting sight, bat
could not stay to see the end. Mr..
Onehorn was standing off the other
bull when I left. | heard several
whistle, but not so clear as early in
the season. l was surprised to hear
them at all so late-November Goth.
There is very perceptible in
crease in the number Of black-tail
deer, but | cannot say the same for
the mountain sheep. This may be
accounted for by the fact that the
latter have not left their summer
range in any number. Only few
have appeared on Mount Evarts.
No buffalo has been seen on Spec
linen Ridge so far this winter. A
small band is in Hayden Valley and
can be seen at any time by parties
passing through. The reported band
of seventy in the Red Desert, Wy,
which were said to have left the
Park, is all a mistake. So many
parties were along the line south Of
the Park over which these buffalo
would pass that they would have
been seen by some one or their
tracks noticed. The buffalo in the
Red Desert are probably band that
have been there for years. They
have been seen before, but only by
parties who did not care to "give it
away" to any and every one who
came along, for had it become gen.
orally known they would soon have
been killed by specimen and trophy
hunters or the Indians would soon
have finished the band, for they
enjoy the privilege of killing game
at any and all times. no game law
affecting them. There is little dan
ger of the buffalo in the Park stray
ing out, except on the west, into
Idaho, where, if molested, they
soon return to the reservation

A Cure for Hang Nail.

A small and almost imperceptible
hang nail often involves the owner
of the hand which bears it an end
less amount of annoyance and vex-
alton. 1t is the general rule-man-
icures to the contrary notwithstand-
ing-that the nails least attended
are better than those that are con-
tinualiy doctored. The man who
cuts hang in nine cases out of
ten lays the way for much more
vigorous successor. Satisfactory
results are almost always obtained
by pushing the skin back from the
nail after washing the hands. The
dry end of the towel should be ta-
ken and the skin pressed back
wherever it overruns the nail. This
breaks its adhesiveness to the nail
and makes hang-nails impossible.
Where the skin is allowed to grow
fast to the nail, trouble invariably
results, because the nail in growing
out pulls the skin with it, and when
it breaks from the tension the hang
nail is formed.-Phila. Inquirer.
