WHY is Snow White?

The pure white lustar Of the snow Is due
70 the fact that all the elementary cclors
of light are blended together in the radi-
ance that is thrown IF from the surface of
the crystals. Il is quite possible to
examine the individual snow crystals in
such way IS to detect these several
colors be fore they are mingled together TO
constitute the compound i'm preston of
wilderness upon the eye. The snow is then
clothed with all the varied hues of the
rainbow The soft Wilderness OF the snow
is also in some degree refsrable to the
large quantity OF air which is entAngled
amid the frozen PARTICLES.
Snow is composed Of u great number of
minute crysials; more than thousand
quite distinc. forms of snow crystals have
been enumerated by various observers,
One hundred and ffty-one were noticed
during eight days in February and March,
1885, by M. G!aisher, which were care
fully drawn, engraved and printed in a
paper attached to the report Of the British
Meteorological society for that year.
These minute crystals and prisms reflect
sll the compound RAYS of which white light
consists. Sheets OF snow on The ground
are known to reflect beautiful pink aud
blue tints Under certain angles of tun-
shine, and to ding back 90 much light as to
be painful to .he eyes by day, and to guide
the traveller. in the absence of moonshine,

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
Relief for Morning Headaches Caused
rveaxsive Brain Work In the Evening

Relief for Morning Headaches Caused BY
Excessive Brain Work In the Evening.
Science tells of Swiss doctor whose ex-
perience is of interest to the many persons
who extend their mental work well into
the night, who during the evening follow
attentively the programme OF theatre or
concert, or who engage evenings in the pro-
ceedings OF societies or clubs, and are
awakened in the morning or in the night
with headache. He is particular to say
that he does not refer to that headache
which our Teutonic brethren designate
Katzeniammer, that follows certain con-
vivial indulgences This headache affects
many persons who are quite well other
wise, and is due in part to the previous ex-
cessive work of the brain, whereby an abb
normal flow of blood to that organ is
caused, in part to other causes, for exam
pie, too great heat of rooms, contamina-
ton of the air with carbonic acid, exhala-
tons from human bodies and tobacco
smoke.
For a long while the doctor was himself
a sufferer from headache of this kind, but
of late years has wholly protected himself
from it by simple means. When he is
obliged to continue his brain work into
the evening, or to be out late nights in
rooms not well ventilated, instead of going
directly to bed he takes brisk walk for
half an hour or an hour While taking
this tramp he stops now and then and
practices lung gymnastics by breathing in
and out deeply a few times. When he then
goes to bed he sleeps soundly. Notwith-
standing the shortening of the hours of
sleep he awakes with no trace of headache
There exists a clear and well known physi-
illogical reason why this treatment should
be effective

There is 10 concealing the fact that
the feeling is gaining ground that it

A writer in The Boston Journal relates
that more than twenty five years ago, when
he was soldier in Virginia and troubled
with cold feet, he discovered a remedy for
them. lie says: "At,cue time, while was
stamping upon the ground in the effort to
warm my extremities, comrade in the
same regiment said to me, II your feet are
cold try this He raised his foot from the
ground and struck some light blows with
his hand on the upper part of his leg, just
above the knee. / did the same with both
legs, and insinntaneonsly felt flow of
warm blood coursing downward, and the
feet became comfortably warm. The ex-
pertinent was repeated with good effect in
the comparatively warm climate of Vir-
GINA, and also with equally good results
in the more rugged atmosphere of New
England.

Restrictions In Diet.

1t cannot be denied that the restrictions
imposed by medical men on the diet of
patients are ofttimes the outcome of preju-
dice or whim, and it would be well if the
practitioner paused awhile and considered
whether or not the object in view might
not he better attained by some less drastic
method. The Medical Press, which ex-
presses the foregoing opinion, says that,
first of all, there is no absolute standard of
what is right and proper when individual
stomachs are in question. The safest guide
in such matters, under ordinary circum-
stances, is the patients own palate. This
organ acts under the guidance of natural
instinct that is rarely ut fault, though
many persons mistrust its indications as
If they were the suggestions of some frivo-
lous and wanton agency, rather than a
skillful and trustworthy guide in the choice
of food
At the same time the practitioner is care
full to remind us that the sense of taste,
like any other sense, may be wrong and
betray the confidence Of its possessor. 1t
is his duty to detect these eccentric or
vicious palates, and to assist their owners
in neutraliZing their evil pr9mptings; and,
to sum up the recommendations. change
Of diet is often better than mere restric-
ton, and it will often answer the purpose
to diminish the quantity of a particular
article instead of prohibiting it altogether
The change may be in the kind, in guam
tity or in the disposition of the meals. The
last form of adjustment is that which i'm
poses itself as persons pass from youth to
old age. Digestion and assimilation are on
the wane. and the intake both in quantity
and kind, must be modified accordingly.

Let an amendment be proposed, SUCH
az Mr.. Peaks deems necessary, TO legal

ton submitting IL 10 the people adopted

There could be no doubt Of the result.
The people are for the Australian system
by very large majority. We believe,
however, that this fact has been suili-
GENTLY shown for the present legislature

by Senator Spear seems to be meeting
with very general appreciation.
The lynching Of Henry Sanders a
youth Of 20 wears at Milan, Tennessee,
Wednesday evening. Is fair sample Of
Tennessee Justice. Sanders was dragged
from sick bed and strung up to tree
by the mob, which was unwilling to

This event speaks volumes for the char
acter Of the civilization In that state. 1t
Is fact That the southern courts appear
20 have broad sympathy for the Grimm
ais Of high degree. If man only com
mits q crime atrocious enough he may
count with considerable certainty upon
their lienlancy, but even this disgraceful
condition Of Affairs does not excuse the
mob from taking the law into It's own
hands, though it does emphasize the
need Of judicial reform in that section Of
the country.

Iodine or the iodides hllould be given on
an empty stomach. IfSiven during diges-
top the acids and starch alter anl weaken
their action. Acids, as rule, should be
given between meals. Acids given before
meals check the excessive secretion of the
acids of the gastric juice. Irritating and
poisonous drugs, such as salts of arsenic,
copper, zinc and iron, should be given di-
rectly after meals. Oxide and nitrate of
silver should be given after the process of
digestion is ended; if given during or close
after meals the chemicals destroy or impair
their action. Potassium permanganate
also should not be given until the process
Of digestion is ended, inasmuch as organic
matter decomposes it and renders it inert.
The active principle Of the gastric juice is
impaired and rendered inert by corrosive
sublimate, tannin and pure alcohol; hence
they should be given at the close of di-
gestion. Malt extracts, cod liver oil, the
phosphates, etc, should be given with or
directly after food, says The Medical World,
