Nine years ago the months of June and

Nine years ago the months of June and
July, 1882, were notably oppressive in
their atmosphere On the 18th of July
eighty eight children in New York died
from the effects of the heat. Car horses
fell dead in their traces; drivers dropped
from their seats on trucks and wagons.
Broadway was like great transparent
flame of fire. Business was partially
suspended. and many workshops were
closed. The crowded parts of New York
on the East and West sides were filled
with families mourning for their dead,
and undertakers went their busy rounds
as if an epidemic prevailed. The house
tops were turned into vast bedroom,
and the pitiful cries of sick children
mingled with the clinking of glasses in
the beer shops. Seven hundred and
seventy nine little ones died during this
period from diseases superinduced by the
heat.
The sweltering temperature of last
year appeared to hold its longest revel in
the central and western portions of the
country and among the larger cities.
Chicago suffered most severely.

Pine and Granite.

Maine alone bears the title of the Pine
Tree State, as New Hampshire does of
the Granite State. But measured by the
amount of the respective products,
Massachusetts is the Granite State and
Minnesota is the Pine Tree State. For
ests as we'll as other things have changed
since the days when the Kings survey
ors, going through the forests of Maine,
could put the broad arrow of royal
ownership upon some of the noblest and
stateliest pines to be found on earth.
Here were found the noblest trees for
the masts of that invincible British Navy
which did such glorious deeds under
Nelson; and here. too, was found pine
enough to keep running the saw mills
that supported SO many of the settlers in
Maine. This was once the Pine Tree
State. But the latest census bulletin
shows that there are really but three
white pine States, and that Maine is not
one of them. They are Minnesota, Wis
consin and NIichigan.-[Portland (Me.)

A Lobster's New Shell.

At the most extensive aquarium in
England, the Brighton Zoo, the female
lobster recently cast her shell. She
screwed herself up together on the toes
and tail, and suddenly bent her body.
Snap went the shell in its centre, and the
case Of the back came away in one piece.
Tho claws were her next care, and she
worked away at them for long time.
TWAS proceeding Of extreme delicacy,
considering that all the flesh Of the great
claw had to be passed through the small
base. During the operation one claw
off altogether, and this must have seemed
to the lobster lady serious misfortune,
as it will not grow to its full size again
until the second year. The tail and legs
gave very little trouble, and the body,
when thus undressed, proved to be Of a
pale blue.
The shell-casting over, thelobster sank
on the sand, and this action seemed q
signal for the attack Of every creature
in the tank.
The defenceless victim babe fair to
succumb to the fury Of her enemies, when
the male lobster. suddenly came to the
rescue. Standing over his shell-less
better half, he fought her assailants re-
lentlessly. Day and night did he watch
over her, until her shell was sufficiently
hardened to protect her in fighting her
own battles.
When this happy moment arrived, he.
deliberately pickedup the old claw, broke
it in his nippers, and ate the meat. He
then dug a hole in the sand, placed in it
the broken bits Of shell, buried them, and

The Chinese on these occasions have

abandon fruit or hop crop in the midst
Of a gathering is more costly than to
yield to thoir demands. Chinese labor
is scarcer than it used to be and the cum

of their position. The hop growers have
had experiences with the Chinese last
year and the year before, and flew to
piutes, and this season to Japanese for
relief.
Last Summer the Chinese discovered
that hops had advanced in price, and
the coolies were quick to take advantage
Of the opportunity to boost their wages.
It is something Of condescension now
a-days for Chinese to work at all. In
this condition of affairs the Japanese
are dropping into the places that used
to be filled by the coolies.

THE BEzoAR STONE.
A Deposit in Monkey Anatomy
Highly Priced by Indian Doctors.

The "Bezoar stone" plays great part
in native doctoring throughout those
countries where it is found. The truc
variety esteemed in these days is found,
SO tar as we know, in Borneo alone,
where the collection and export of it is a
valuable business with the Jungle tribes,
us will be understood, when single stone
may fetch $50 to e25. Ordinary Bezoar
is extracted from monkeys, but from
which part of the body does not yet seem
assured. Some Of the natives allege that
they find it only in the stomach, others
in the intestines. Mr.. Hart Everett was
tod that it grows in the head, and also
in the hands, while many say that they
expect it in any part Of tho body. This
seems most probable under the circum.
stances, though somewhat opposed to our
notions
The stones vary much in size, the
largest commonly reaching the di1nen-
sions Of filbert, but vastly bigger
specimens have been found. The sur
face, though contorted, is smooth and
shining, Of u pale olive green color. The
great supply comes from the upper
waters OF the Batang Lupar, in the
kayan country. This river is diverted
ut one point by limestone hills, in which
presently it vanishes-so the natives
say. Salt springs abound, and the
species OF monkey which yield Bezoar-
one OF the Semnopithecus genus-gather
in troops to drink. It is this water
probably, impregnated with salt and
lime, which causes the deposit, Hunters
lie in wait around the springs. BY en-
perience they can distinguish the
monkeys which suffer most from the
disease-though they do not report that
it obviously causes suffering. These
they shoot with blow pipes and arrows,
which ore thorns Of the sage palm, tipped
with upas poison.
Of late, however, this monkey product
has fallen in the estimation Of Hindus-
TAM doctors, who used to consume great
quantities. They put more faith now in
variety obtained from species of
porcupine inhabiting the same region,
called Guligu Landate-landate is the
native term for Bezoar in general. This
kind, though not perceptibly differing
from the other, except in its greater size,
is much more rare and proportionately
more costly.
AS for the use Of Bezoar in medicine,
in the first place it is regarded as an an
tidote to snakes venom. In the next
it is employed for fevers, asthma and
debility. Patients who can afford to take
costly medicine receive the stone itself
in powder; others mast be content with
water in which it has been soaked.
