Poisonous Waste in the Body.

N-S AoF0i1E SClcDCc MOntllE.l
 In fever the tissue rapidly wastes, and great quantities of waste poison are poured into the blood. These poisons af. feet the nerves, and are the cause of quick. ened respiration, and often of quickened circulation, which are necessary in order to get the excess of poison oxidized; when, therefore, unconsciousness supervenes, we may say pretty confidently that the rapid circulation and the rapid breathing have not been sufficient to oxidize and neutral. ize the mass of poison which is being car. ried to the brain. So, again, in pneumo. mia the quickened breathing shows both the effort of nature to make up for the loss of that part of the lung which is in. effective, and also the stimulus which the increased waste poison in the body Gn- creased owing to diminished lung capacity, and therefore diminished oxygen) exerts upon the respiratory machinery. So, again, when less blood is carried to the lungs, owing to the artery which leads from the heart to the lungs being partially blocked with clot, the same effect Is pro- duced. Probably a somewhat similar con- dition arises after hard work, either in old asS VI HI a teeoio etaOo UT ut6ltn- The tissue, not being in the firm condition of the tissue of vigorous person sccus- toned to daily work, breaks down in large quantities, while at the same time the cir euistory and respiratory machinery are no longer at their best, and therefore the o1i- dation is imperfect. On the next day the in6rmed man is poisoned by the unusual quantity of waste in the system, and feels discomfort in many parts of his body or limbs. So, also, the discomfort acutely felt by some persons during east winds probably arises from the poison that ought to have been got rid of by the skin, but owing to the closing of the pores, has been thrown back into the system.

Pure Air and the Functions of Life.

Pure Ar and the Functions of Life.
 From tn Popular Science Monthly.l Exercise, as we'll as pure air, helps us in our constant struggle against the poisons that We manufacture within ourselves. It does this by driving the blood charged with oxygen, by means of the pressure of the muscles called into play, more thor oughly through the tissue; and thus 1t would quicken the breaking down of dead tissue into its safe and final waste pro- ducts (water, csrbonic acid and urea), and shorten the period during which the dead tissue was passing through various dan gerous forms which it temporarily as- sumes. From this fact we may infer that the man of sedentary life, above all others, requires pure air.
 In truth, pure air and exercise are equal forces acting in the same direction. They both get rid of waste, and with it of the poisons in the system which are depress- ing various organs. We need not, there fore, be surprised when we are told by Sir John D. Galton that after barracks were better ventilated that the rstions of the men had to be increased; or by "the pa- thetic story" of certain segmstresses whose work room was ventilated, and who then begged that the old state of things might be restored. as their appetites had increased beyond their earnings. Sir D. Galton gives another experience, illustrating the depressive effect of these poisons upon the functions of life. A New York medical man rather cruelty shut up some flies with out food, some in foul air, others in pure air; the pure air being constantly changed. To his surprise, the flies in the pure air died first, these dying from simple starva- tion; while the flies in the foul air died from poison, and with the tissue of their bodies unexhsusted, indicating how the functions of life were carried on to the last where oxygen was available, but had been slowed and depressed by the presence of the potion, SO that life was actually maintained longer in the foul than in the pure air.

A SCIENTIFIC OPINION,

In view of what Woman has managed to do lately it seems little late to say that she is "only woman" so far as her brain is concerned. But Sir James Crichton Browne has something to say concerning this which is we'll worth attention. He was for many years at the head of large luna tic asylum and has had unusual experience in the study of cerebral phenomena. He says that the average weight of the female brain is less than that of the male, but also that the disproportion is much greater than differences of stature and general bodily weight would account for. He ayers further that while the total blood supply of the male and of the female brain is approximately equal-allowance being made for the comparative poverty of female blood in corpuscles-yet that the distribution of the blood is different: the arteries, that is to say, supplying the anterior portions of the brain, the seat of the intellect, are larger in the male, while those which supply the posterior portions, the seat of the emotions and the passions, are larger in the female. He concludes that the male and female brain are organs broadly distinguished from each other, and inferentially, adapted to different kinds of work. And he be- lieves that the acquisition of @ masculine education by young women is as a rule at- tended by serious drawbacks, the work actu- ally involving grave dangers to health, both prospective and immediate. He adduces the results of his inquiries as to the physical condition of the pupils at a school whose aim was to offer girls 8 course of instruc- tion substantially indentical with that of high-grade school for boys. It seems that out of 1S7 girls belonging to the middle and upper classes, we'll fed and clad and cared for, and ranging from ten to seven teen years of age, as many as 137 com plained of headaches.
 Well, well, we'll, again. Here is Wo- man, inferior in brain to man, and yet get ting the better of him at every turn. Man can, it is true, have the cancellations of science, but they are cool comfort.

THE BLUE SWAN.
Feathercd Novelties in the Parks of San Francisco.

san Francisco.
 From the San Francisco Chronicie.l In default of the completion of the new lake in Golden Gate Park and the conse- quent dearth of real good fish stories the air and water fowl are doing their best to
 supply the deficiency. The latest yarn current is one that puts the laugh on the park commissioners in a very funny way. It is said that letter came from Sacra-
 mento setting forth the charms of beau
 tiful blue swan, and so persussively was 1t
 worded that the commissioners met the
 owner half way and purchased the bird.
 Then came the sequel. The blue swan
 was turned lcose in the duck pond inclo- sure near the Hsight street entrance to the park, and was the exposure of all eyes, the | envy of all the feathered tribe therein as- sembled But when the beautiful blue swan took to the water its azure hues were | imparted to the waves, for the beautiful
 blue color had been put on with paint | brush, and If the bird ever gets clean again | it will be an ordinary white swan, nothing more.
 Another bird story has been located in
 the avisry, where the keeper has been anx- | iously watching for the Japanese pheas- | ants to nest. Thirty of these were i'm ported from the realm of the Mikado sew eral months ago. Half were hens and the
 others were supposed to be of the sex that
 would make mates for them, but the sus-
 picions of the watchful keeper having
 been aroused, he instituted an investigs-
 ton and found that the supposed fifteen

 Here you are. A Charleston judge de-
 cides that soap is a medicine within the
 meaning of the Sunday law. That law
 permits the sale of drugs and medicines
 on Sunday. The keeper of drug store
 was arraigned for selling a cake of soap.
 He was discharged by the court on the
 ground that soap was a medicine, snd
 therefore its sale on Sunday was lawful.
 Here is the reasoning of Judge Pringle: It can hardly be thought ridiculous to say
 that under certain circumstances a cake of soap may be regarded as medicine. There are certain kinds of soap which are as distinctly and absolutely medicinal as it is possible for anything to be. Not to men, tion others, the world d-renowned carbolic acid soap and cuticura soap are as much medicinal as calomel or castor oil. And it has been said by very high and reverend authority that cleanliness is next to godli- ness. So that to fine a man for selling an article which is so conducive to that clean liness which is next to godliness as cake of soap would be to make the effort to be clean an act of ungodliness.
 A recent work by the distinguished French medical authority, NIL. Landouzy, on the ravages of tuberculosis is attracting much attention in the literary and scientific circles of Paris. Dr. Landouzy, who is a member of the Academy of Medicine and a professor in the Laennec hospital, be- lieves that this insidious disease is one of the most potent agents in the depopulation of the country that is the cause of so much far and wide that in France hardly is attempted to put men on their guard against tuberculosis oontagion, that everything yet remains to be done, and that in the matter of tuberculosis proven ton veterinary science is further than the science of medicine as applied to men. It must be frank ly owned that tuberculosis is conta- gious, but it should be clearly stated why and how the contagion spreads. The public should be as we'll informed in the matter of consumption as it already is as to scarlet fever, typhoid fever, or hydro phobia. To hereditary tuberculo- sig, so interesting for the specialists, must be assigned only a small portion of the which decimates babyhood. | But what is the use of saying this if noth- ing is done to avoid contagions Babies,in | should be carefully isolated from | all chance of contagion." Two thousand | children less than two years old die annual | Iy in Paris alone of this plague, which Dr. | Randouzy maintains may be controlled, | if not conquered, by sanitary regulations and rigid system of quarantine, which, he thinks, physicians should be empow- cred to enforce

The Kings Ring.

Once in Persia reigned king Who upon his signet ring Graved a maxim true and wise, Which, it held before his eyes, Gave him counsel, at glance, Fit for every change and chanc3, Solemn words. and these are they: Even this shall pass away" Trains of camels through the sand Brought him gems from Samarcaud; Fleets of galleys through the seas Brought him pearls to match with these But he counted not as gain Treasures of the mine or main; What is wealthy" the king would say, ".Even this shall pass away" In the revels of his court, At the zenith of his sport, When the palms of all his guests Burned with clapping at his jests, He, amid his figs and wine, Cried, "Oh, loving friends of miue, Pleasure comes, but not to stay; Even this shall pass away" Lady fairest ever seen Chose he for his bride and queen, Couched upon the marriage led, Whispering to his soul, he said, Though a bridegroom never pressed Dea-er bosom 10 his breast, Mortal flesh must come to clay; Even this shall pass away" Fighting on furious field, Once javelin pierce his shield. Soldiers with loud lament, Bore him bleeding to his tent. Grooming from his tortured side, '.Pain is hard to bear" he cried; "But with patience, day by day, Even ths shall pass away" Towering in the public square, Twenty cubits in the air, Rose his statue carved in stone. Then the king, disguised. unknown. Stood before his sculptured name, Musing meekly, What Is famel Fame is but a slow decay, Even this snail pass away" Struck with palsy, scar and old, Waiting at the gates of gold, Spake he with his dying breath, Life is done, but what is death:" Then in answer to the king Fell a sunbeam on his ring, Showing by a heavenly ray Even this shall pass away"

DON'T MARRY AT SEA.
Ceremonie Performed by Sea Cap.
 tafns Illegal.

tains Illegal.
 From the San Francisco Call
 "The silly ninnies who run of to sea ir tuGboats to be married will some day be brought to grief in a way they least ex pect," was the remark made by promi. nent lawyer yesterday, who was discuss ing with friend the question of the legal ity of such marriages. "Under the laws of this state," he added, "such marriages are not recognized as valid. Unless the parties have a marriage license in due form and the ceremony is performed by regu. lar preacher of the gospel, or by some civil magistrate authorized by the law to sol. emnize marriages, the contract is no good. The people who live together after being married by the captain of a vessel are sim. ply concubines, and the issue of such alli. ances are illegitimate. If either of the parties were to marry iu 8 regular way some other affinity neither could be con victed of bigamy."
 An old sea captain was asked what he thought about the matter He replied that while it has been practice from time immemorisl for captains to assume the right to marry couples at sea. he was fully convinced that no such authority had ever been conferred upon sea captains, still less upon navigators of steam tugs and other coastwise sailing craft.
 The question is being agitated of pass ing federal or state law imposing severe penalties upon masters of tugboat, yachts aad other vessels attempting to solemnize the marriage ceremony three leagues from shore or any other distance.

A CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT.

A CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT. The corrupt practices act which is ex- pected to become 8 law in Massachusetts is @ stringent measure. It requires sworn publication after election by both candi- dates and committees of detailed accounts of all money received and expended. Any person other than candidate or commit tee treasurer, who, acting under authority from 8 committee, receives or expends money or it's equivalent, must also file similar sworn accounts. In addition to giving the amount received, the name of received, and the name of the person or committee to whom the disbursement is made, the sworn returns must give the date and amonnt of every existing un- fulfilled promise or liability, both to and from such committee, remaining uncan- celed and in force at the time the state ment is made, with the name of the person or committee to or from whom the unful- filled promise or liability exists, and clearly state the purpose for which the liability was made or incurred. Voluntary contri buttons from candidates are permitted, but committees are forbidden to demand or solicit them, and candidates are permit ted to defray travelling expenses and other personal expenditures without in cluding the money so expended in their sworn returns. The courts are given full equity powers to compel the filing of statements after election, for the correc- ton of defective returns, on petition of a candidate or of five qualified voters. Violation of the provisions of the act which forbid candidate to offer money in return for 8 nomination of a vote, and which forbid the soliciting or demanding of contributions, is punishable with fine of $1 1000, and failure to file statements is punishable with a fine of not less than $1,000, or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both fine and imprison- ment.
 A corrupt practices act is needed in this State. If we ever have legislature that is willing to do any work perhaps we can have one.
