A Malaria-Killer From Canada.

More than half a century ago, Ca
madam water plant-Anacharis slsinas'
trum-was taken to England, and thence
to Germany. 1t has spread with great
rapldity, and has long been regarded
as great plague, which chokes up the
rivers and is wholly useless. But Dr.
Brandes, of Hanover, has now called
attention to all influence Of great value
that he believes is exerted by the vigor-
GUS newcomer. In the district in
which he lives malaria and diarrhea
formerly appeared yearly. but since this
plant began to fill the neighborsng
rivers and marshes these disorders have
gradually diminished, and during the
last four or five years have been alto
gether absent. The Anacharis feeds on
decaying vegetable matter, thus destroy
Ing the disease germs. DR.. Brands
would encourage the introduction OF tbs
plant into marshy districts, and NEIL
tions that, in addition to it's effect in
suppressing malaria and diarrhea, it
is useful as a protection to young fish,
and as = fertilizer.

She SAID Boo to the Sentry.

A story is told by the friends of certain
young New York woman, whose p'ayfulness
is understood among her intimates and enjoy
ed as such may be, when it is modified by a
gentlewoman's instinct within the bounds of
simple fun. The young prankplayer Was re-
Gently abroad, and while walking out in Dres
den one day the stoidity Of the soldier senti-
nels, pacing back and forth like automata, at
tracted her notice. A sudden impulse seized
her to test this cast-iron rigidity, and, wait.
ing antil one had passed, she slipped into his
little sentry box. When he reached it on his
return, marching with measured precision, she
suddenly jumped out before him, crying
"Boo!' in his very face. The soldier was com
pletely upset at this most unexpected perform
ance, and actually dropped his musket and
ran away, while the young woman, having
thus routed portiol of the German army,
walked on and demurely rejoined her friends.
The incident, it is said, came to the Emperor
himself, who express wish to meet this ex-
traordinary young woman, but Miss ad-
mitted that her desire did no. equal his, as she
was not sure in quite what light her jesting
impulse would be off: lilly regarded.

Why Americans Have Corns.

"Corns are bad," said the phllosophie
oo,black. yours seem to hurt you
some. Strange what lots of people
have corns. Over ninety per cent. Of
the men who come to get shine have
corns. How do know it? How do |
know you have corn? By fi1ding it,
of course. Gently? All right | won't
hurt you, Guv'nor. As was saving,
ninety ont Of every hundred have corns.
People say it's tight boots, but l don't
believe it. Those who have the worst
corns wear boots that are too large for
them. What gives them corns then?
We'll. III tell you. 1t is wearing boots
all day long.
"Seldom do you see Europeans both
cred with corns, especially Englishmen.
Nearly every American has them. The
former never wear their boots all day.
They have walking boots to the office.
Once there they put on a thin house
boot. When they go home about five
o'clock in the evening the first thing
they do is to put on their slippers. The
result is that the feet are always cool,
the pressure never constant, and no
muscle tried beyond its power. Far
otherwise with the American. He goes
down to work at eight o'clock in the
morning and is hurrying and scurrying
IN the same boots until six O'Clock.
Then he hurries home to dinner, hurries
through dinner, and still wearing the
same boots, goes to his lodge or else
where and returns at midnight, his feet
having been cramped up for fourteen
hours out of the twenty-four in the
one pair of boots. The result is corns
and bunions."

Loves Ingenuity.

A couple not one hundred miles fiom Mail
chester, carried on their courtship i'll rather a
novel manner. A young man had fallen IN
love with the daughter of his employer, but
from certain ideas of ealth match was op-
posed by the father. The consequence was
that the young man was forbidden to visit his
employer house. The old gentleman was
in the habit of wearing cloak, and the young
couple made him the innocent bearer of their
correspondence. The lady pinned letter in
the lining of the Old mans cloak every day,
and when his father went into his counting
house and threw off his cloak, the lover took
out the lady's epistle, read it and sent the re
ply back in the same manner. Love and IN
genuity were tin ally successful.

The country demands and the silver men
are willing TO assent to a cessation Of silver
purchases under the Sherman act. But the
silver men wish the suspension of silver
purchases to be temporary, and to have
clearly defined period OF continuance. and
when that period is passed they want the
silver purchases to begin again without any
further legislation by Congress. They are
willing to accept the scheme on these gen.
eral lines proposed by Senator Faulkner's
amendment. Unconditional repeal of the
purchasing clause will suspend the pur-
chases indefinitely instead of temporarily
and legislation will be necessary to begin
again the buying OF silver. Both PROPOSE
lions involve the notification OF the objec-
tionable provision of the Sherman act for
several years. at least. and the public. per-
