The Brown-sequard Elixir.

The Riforma Medica. an Italian
journal, gives results of long series
of experiments with the Brown-Se-
guard elixir and concludes that the
liquid, injected hypodermically. has
not the slightest lasting effect upon
the human organism; Tat the tri-
fling and transitory notifications of
circulation, respiration, temperature
and muscular power are explicable
by the excitement and tension of the
subjects mind; that any rare and
transient improvement observed in
the treatment of various organic dis
eases by this method was due to sug-
gestion and the influence of magma
ton, to which causes alone is to be
attributed the cure of some cases of
hysteria and neurasthenia.

Some three hundred and odd cats
are maintained by the United States
government, the cost OF their sup
port being carried as a regular item
Oh the accounts of the p9stoffice
department. These cats are dis
tributed among about fifty postoffices
and their duty is to keep rats and
mice from eating and destroying
postal matter and canvas mail sacks.
Their work is OF the utmost impor-
lance wherever large quantities of
mail are collected, as, tor example,
at the New York postofice, where
from 1000 to 5000 bags of mail
matter are commonly stored away
in the basement. Formerly great
damage was done by the mischiev-
Gus rodents, which chewed holes in
the sacks and thought nothing OF
boring clear through bags of letters
in a night. Troubles of this sort no
longer occur, since the official pus>
sizes keep watch. Each of the post
masters in the larger cities is allow
ed from s6 to $40 a year for the
keep of his feline staff, sending his
estimate for "cat meat" to Washing
ton at the beginning of each quarter.
