Salt.

Sodium chlorid, or common salt, is
a necessity of animal life. Wild ami
mails of the herbivorOus class make
regular excursions of many miles to
salt ticks" or other places where it
abounds.
The human body contains salt in
large proportion. The blood tastes
of it, and in greater or less quantities
it is found in all the many fluids and
juices manufactured by the various
glands of the body.
That its presence is not accidental
but designed is shown by the study
of some of the essential factors of the
organism when deprived of it. Re-
cent experiments have proved that
the white c%orpuscles of the blood
swell and burst quickly in distilled
water. P%rotoplasm is inactive, and
the ella, or fringe-likc edges of GER
tain cells, stop their motion when de-
prived of sodium chlorid: while i'm IL
salt solution they remain active and
intact.
1T is stated that by the passage of
salt through the body the absorption
of food is stimulated. and the activity
of disadvantages and growth is in
creased.
1t is a matter of common ohserva-
tion that the swallowing of salt pro-
duces thirst, which is but saying that
certain organs are stimulated to ac-
tivity thereby, and consequently de-
mand more fluid in order to continue
their normal activity.
Many children doubtless suffer from
an insufficient supply of common salt,
especially when artificial foods are
used. Such children are often weak
and poorly nourished. Their digcs-
tion proceeds slowly, absorption of
digested products is delayed, and
they become emaciated. The doctor
is called, and with the order to add
"a pinch of salt to the milk or other
prepared food, the appetite improves,
the digestion is stimulated, and Il
proper condition of nourishmcnt re-
turns.
1t is more than probable that the
chlorine clement of the hydrochloric
acid of the gastric juice is supplied
by this salt. In this fact persons
who live largely on Il vegetable diet
may find a reason for IA weak digcs-
tion and insufficient acidity. for the
mineral matter found i'm vegetables
consists, for the most part, of potash
salts, which do not satisfy the de-
mands of the animal organism.
The water of mineral springs is
chiefly e%t,icacious i'm that il supplies
both salt and water to the blood i'm
increased quantity. The salt tends
to increase tissue-changcs, and the
greater supply of water hastcns the
%cXcretion of the waste products which
arc thereby generated. youths Com

The Number of stars.

When one looks at the ..star-Span

he unconsciously thinks that the
number of bright spccks which shine
to such u fine advantage against their
azure background are beyond compu-
tation. Such, however. is not the
case Bring the eye to bear upon a
certain section of the sky, with some
first magnitude star for Il starting
point, and see what an easy task it is
to count all those within a large cir

The variance in the number to be

details OF the fight we're bulletlned and it

rage rose from the sen Of humanity, until
it drowned the victorious shouts of the

that Sullivan will drink him self into the
gutter without much delay. If lie had
only taken care of himself, he would have
won.

New YORK. Sept. 8.--From DR.. Siebert,
the well known German physician OF this
city, who went to Europe, recently, on
behalf of the board OF health OF New
York, would seem to indicate that the
situation ip Berlin is much worse than
related.
The dispatch referred to was addressed
to DR.. Cyrus Edison, the sanitary super
intendcnt, and says:
"Boil in steam all articles from
Hamburg for one hour. The highest
opinion ls that all the rivers in northern
Europe are infected, and new outbreaks
are expected. The new law will stop all
Russian emigrants from passing the
quarantine. Months will be insufficient
to stamp the disease out. The only eff
cient method for you in America is to
steam all immigrant baggage, or other
articles, for at least an hour. They must
be steamed singly, or else immigration
must be stopped. The germs are every
where. No part is safe.'
