A London novelty is a patent cup intended to enable the user to dispense altogether with a teapot. This is ef- fected by means of percolating mouthpiece, either made as part of the cup or separately, in various kinds of metal, fitting any ordinary cup, to the edge of which it is attached by a simple clip, which enables it to be easily removed for the purpose of being cleaned. The percolating cup is used by putting the required quantity of tea or coffee into the cup, pouring on the boiling water, giving a few seconds for perfect infusion, when a pure and refreshing beverage is produced, which can be drunk off or poured through the percolater, thus dispensing with the use of a teapot and the often unpleasan mt effects of the same on the palate, as well as insuring economy in the use of the tea.

Timber depredations have been prac- tically stopped in Mississippi by a law which punishes offenders severely. There are large areas of forest land there belonging either to the United States government or to the state, and the temptation to settlers in remote regions to enter upon them and help themselves to wood was often too strong to be resisted. When driven from fed eral land by deputy United States mar shals, the timber thieves found refuge in the state forests, which were not so we'll policed, and by moving from the one territory to the other they contriv- ed to escape arrest. The federal officers finally became so vigilant that timber stealing proved dangerous business, and the thieves transferred all their operations to the state lands. The legis-
 lature thereupon passed the law re- ferred to. and it has improved the morals of the people so much that some districts which formerly were the scene pf wholesale depredations are now al- most free from the raids of poaching

LePsosY IN INDIA.

Various Theories a. to the origin and Prop
anation Of the Disease.
1t has often been popularity said
that fish eating is a main cause Of
leprosy, and some scientific men hold
the opinion that fish introduce the
bacillus into the stomach or stimu-
late it 10 activity when it already re
sides in the tissues. Against this the
DRY, popular and scientific, there are
the facts that no bacilh have been
discovered in fish that castles which
never touch fish furnish their due
contingents Of lepers, and that the
disease IL not more rife in districts
bordered by the sea and by large riv-
ers than anywhere else On the 9th
er hand, leprosy Is common in hill
tracts. where fish Is very rare ar
ticle Of food.
Mr. 9. Conybeare, who some time
ago was apprehensive that leprosy
was due 10 the high price Of salt, will
be much relieved 10 hear that by
statistics 10 which no exception can
be taken on the ground OF inaccuracy
the consumption OF salt is shown TO
be twice as great as the increase OF
the population in 20 years; that the
Ryot spends on salt about / penny a
month for each Of his family, and
that II there has been any percepti-
BILE addition 10 the number of lepers
1t has occurred in provinces where
the price Of salt has fallen Other
alleged causes are mentioned 10 be
summary and contemptuously dis
missed.
Water, opium and mosquitoes have
each in turn been made responsible.
Now, the bacillus has never been
found in water, though the commits.
sioners in vain analysed the water Of
a filthy tank in which crowds Of lep.
ers bathed. Premature marriages
and the consumption of opium are
not 10 blame. and if mosquitoes OF
flies could communicate the disease
after they had sucked the blood of
any lepers Calcutta, where these lit.
tie pests abound and murder sleep,

On the question of infection and
contagion the report on "Leprosy In
India affirms that, though leprosy
may be considered an infective dis
ease caused by specific bacillus, and
also TO some extent a contagious dis
ease, - it is not actively or usually diff
fused in this way. Again. one might
imagine that leprosy must be hered.
itary This assertion, If not abso-
lutely disproved, is by no means Ger.
tain.
Many lepers are sterile. There is
no evidence that the marriage of lep-
ers with lepers or with nonleprous
women always diffuses the disease.
The children of lepers are often short
lived, and as far as returns can be
depended on there Is never more on
an average than a couple of children
70 each marriage of lepers. -Satur-

Valuable Grasses for permanent

There are a good many varieties OF

most valuable being the meadow les

manent grass land. For this purpose
it is ordinarily sown in mixture win

Meadow fescue is relished by live
stock both in hay and pasture. ltdoes

tive power until the second or thiro
year, when it exceeds most other sorts

Tall fescue grass is very similar TO
meadow fescue, and is said by some TO
be identical with it, 1t succeeds best
in moist, alluvial and strong clay soils
and in shady ravines; on moist, rocky
sea coasts it is a most valuable pasture

ones a blast may be applied to break
them in two or three pieces and these
buried in holes upon the sides toward
which they lean. In every neighbor
hood there are usually men who will
take the contract to bury a certain
number of powders for a specified
amount, and that is very good way to
have the work performed, unless you
do it yourself or have men in your en-
ploy attend to it at leisure times
