frost clear up all the borders and beds.

TOO MUCH TOBACCO.
Some of the Effects of Owe Indulgence In
the Weed.

bho y" Scus
The toxic effects Of tobacco among the
lower classes in England are comparative
ly not infrequent. The form which the
poisoning takes is that known to ophthal-
mic surgeons as tobacco amblyopia."
The men come to the hospitals complain
ing of loss of sight. Commonly they are
found to be bootmakers or those to whom
the opportunity occurs of smoking while
they are at work. In most cases there is
q serious failure of vision. Associated
with this is the loss of perception for the
colors red and green, WIZ is confined to
the central part Of the rCXna. The dag
nosis, however, having been made, the
treatment is easy enough.
Practically this resolves itself into the
emphatic prohibition Of all smoking. 1t
is always best to give the patients instruc-
tions to burn their pipes. As loEg as on
old "trusty friend" Is permitted w lie on
the mantelpiece or anywhere within sight
and reach the temptation becomes almost
Irresistible to dsobey orders, and in the
luxury of renewing valued companion
ship to forget the strict injunctiops against
indulging in the habit which had been laid
down. Almost invariably IN these cases
ONerlnuulBOnCG Is lOuuu 10 COnSlSI Ill bluOh-
ing half an ounce of shag daily-that is to
say, when the surgeon asks the patient,
How much do you smoker" it Is seldom
that any other answer is given than that
of "about half an ounce of shag day"
The constancy of this reply is really re-
markable.
Tobacco amblyopia" is almost I'M
known in connection with any other form
of tobacco than that which is called shag.
In addition to The amblyopia the patients
are distinctly affected with tobacco ire
mors" Their hands are shaky, they are
more or less nervous, and they complain
of loss of appetite, Their compilations,
moreover, are in that condition which may
be described as muddy" and there is
characteristic expression of listlessness in
their eyes But what are the results Of
the treatment? In most cases the surgeon
may speak hopefully of the recovery Of
vision. Provided that the patient absolute
ly ceases to smoke, and certain treatment
be applied, some improvement will begin
to take place in the course of fortnight.
Always very gradually, but generally
speaking surely, the improvement pro-
crosses until at the end of some weeks the
lost sight is nearly regained. Percy
Dunn in Nineteenth Century.

An ARCTIC Summer.

During the summer months the temper
AZURE usually ranges from 80 to 50 degrees,
and on some days the heat is such that
one might be pardoned for believing that
the burning rays shining down upon the
traveller are those of a tropical sun. The
valleys are carpetcd with a mantle of
green, the grass in many places growing
knee high, while dandelions, peoples, saXi-
frage and other wild flowers are found in
profusion, and the air is full of insect life.
Marine birds and garishly colored butter
flies dart hithcr and thither while the less
pleasing mosquito amply demonstrates
that arctic existence does not impair its
ficndish persistency or rapacious appetite.
The upper air resOunds with the confused
voices of the feathCred tribe, which range
from the quick twittcr of the swallow to
the hoarse 'quonck, quonck" of the cider
duck. Snow is only visible on high eleva-
tions. Indeed there are THE brawling
brook" or "babbling brook" if you
please, the leaping mountain torrent and
all the other accessories prescribed by poets
and artists to complete beautiful piano.

count of its bold contrasts. FOrbidding
black cliffs and lofty, rock ribbed noun

tic fairy palaces.

photography.

photography is process by which,
with fluorine inks, Autographs and pho
totypes can be transferred on glass. When
brought in contact with sulphuric acid,
these inks form fluohydric acid, which
corrodes glass so delicately that these i'm
ages appear as if they had been traced with
hoar frost or snow.
To obtain this delicate result photo
type is linked with the following solution
Glycerin, 400 parts; water, 200 parts; 1uor-
spar, 100 parts; tallow, 100 parts; soap,
100 parts; borax, 80 parts; japan, 80 parts.
Proofs are then made and transferred on
glass, as is done on Photographic plate
A border of wax is made around the edge
of the glass, which is covered with sui
phuric acid, concentrated 64-65 degrees
Baume. At the end of go minutes the
acid is poured off, the plate is washed in
water which contains little potash to re-
move all acid traces, when it is rinsed in
clear water and wiped dry with warm
linen cloth.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

A Defense of Hot Bread.

So much has been said and written about
the unhealthiness of eating hot bread that
its lovers will be comforted to know that
the doctors do not all talk the same way
about it. Dr.. Toritzki, writing to Rus
sian medical journal, says that after care
full examination he has found that new
and uncut bread contains no micro organ
isms, as the heat necessary to cook the
bread has destroyed them all. After bread
has been cut and allowed TO stand around
for awhile it quickly collects bacteria, as
it is an excellent medium for them to
thrive on. Wheac bread, he thinks, gathers
bacteria faster than rye, as the latter has
more acidity. Now all people who love
hot bread can eat it with the comfortable
feeling that, while it may not be quite as
digestihle as stale bread, it is free from
the bacteria which are making the world
so uncomfortable in these days. A little
dyspepsia is better than the cholera.

Don't Put Off,

The necessity of spring medicine is
universally admitted. This is the best
time of year in which to purify the
blood, to restore the lost appetite, and to
build up the entire system, as the body
is now peculiarly susceptible to benefit
from medicine. The great popularity at
tanned by Hoods Sarsaparitla, owing to
it's real merit and its rem lrkable success,
has established it as the very best medi-
cine to take in the spring. 1t cures
scrOfula, salt rheum, and all humors. bill
iousness, dyspepsia, headache, kidney
and liver complaints, catarrh and all af-
fections caused or promoted by low state
of the system or impure blood. Don't
put it off, but take Hoods Sarsaparilla
now. It will do you good.
