Flood and Marriage.

Tho other day several members of a
family, who were either deaf or dumb,
or both, came within the writer's cog
nizance, and it was ascertained that all
were the offspring of first cousins 1t
has long been an established maxim that
first cousins ought not to marry, though
the rule is very often broken. The ques-
ton of the actual anatomical and physi-
illogical causes of physical disabilities
In the offspring of first cousins is well
worthy of the most thorough investiga-
ton But if persons of the same blood
and family, such as first cousins, all of
whom must necessarily be more or less
similar in structure and function, marry
each other then their pecuharities will
tend, not to be diminished, but TO be
increased. perhaps doubled If people
would but bear in mind that the union
of persons who have similar defects,
more especially If they are blood rela-
tions, tends to intensity those defects,
exactly as piling coal ON a bright fire
infallibly produces augmented heat,
they would save themselves much bitter
remorse and avoid the maledictions of
class of imperfect human beings who
not seldom curse the day they were
born. London Hospital

A LUCKY SNEEZE.
IL Came Just In Time to Make M. X. q
Spanish Minister.

The writer of Secrets In Spain"
tells in the pages Of The New Review
how ministers were sometimes made
under the regime Of Queen Isabella OF
Spain. Perhaps the most remarkable
instance Is that of man who was made
minister for sneezing.
The story is as follows: M. x. had
gone one day to pay casual visit to
one of his friends. To. his surprise he
found his friend very much occupied
EXCUSE me-" said he, "but am very
busy today. But if you have nothing to
do come along with me- where are
you going?'' 'I have been summoned
to the palace" They set off together.
At the palace one was conducted to the
presence Of the queen, while the other
waited In the anteroom- There was
lengthy sitting In the queens cabinet,
new ministry being In course of for
nation
It was very cold and drafty in the an
teroom, and the man who was waiting
began to grow very impatient, as he felt
cold In the head coming on. "Whom
shall we appoint to the exchequer?
Whom TO the Fomerto? Whom to the
war Department. asked the queen.
Gradually after much discussion the
ministry was built up bit by bit. There
was now only the colonial minister
to be appointed 81 must have a colo
NAL minister, " said the queen Whom
shall we appoint colonial Minister No
one could be thought Of All at once
loud sneeze was heard in the anteroom.
'"Who Is that sneezing in the anteroom"
asked the queen. I'M. x" I'M K. !
The very mantle very man for the
colonial minister! Tell M. K to come
In"
That is how NJ. K. became colonial
minister-for having sneezed.

Curious Fruit Said to Be Peculiar to
the State of Wooden Nutmegs.

Farmer F. B. Crandall of Bozrah, six
miles west of this city, came to town
recently with five quarts of albino hue
kleberries, which he readily sold for a
round price to merchants and others
who fancy freaks of nature MIR. Gran
dalls fruit was the finest sample OF
white huckleberries ever seen In Nor
witch. The berries were all large, hard,
firm Of texture, sweet and luscious ana
about as white as milk. Albino berries
are extremely rare-in fact, "about as
skeerce as hens teeth" said Mr.. Gran
dali, after he had pocketed 20 cents
box for some of the fruit
There are not more than half a dozen
places in Connecticut, probably, where
they grow, and 1t Is not known that
they grow in any other state. There Is
a patch Of albino bearing bushes in the
hilly town Of Salem, which adjoins Boz
rah: another In Hartford county, a
third In Windham county, and there are
two or three more In different parts OF
the state The Salem a1binos cluster
about the apex Of wind swept. reeless
knoll LII bD6 InlOuiO ~ q hSoFS "S~t
and the whole plot Is not more than 10
or 20 feet In diameter. By many persons
1t is believed that the berries are not al
binos, but distinct species of whortle-
berries, since they never mix or ANAL
gamate with the common black buckle
berry. Neither are they greatly disposed
to propagate themselves on spread ON
new ground All the widely separated
plots are Of about the same dimensions,
while in the case of the Salem patch 1t
Is known to be of Just about the same
size now as 100 years ago. In most re-
spects the albinos differ not at all from
the black berries except In color, al
though some country people affirm that
when fully ripe they are trifie sweet
err, with more decided flavor. Like all
a1binos, whether Of the animal or vege-
table world, they are irradiated with a
faint pink hue, seemingly from q light
glowing within the rind, which Is as
beautiful as It Is curious Most Of the
albino patches yield not more than a
quart Of berries each. Norwich (Conn. }

Changing Diseases.

In that delightful book, "Ridel
Grange" the husband of Pomona
gives as his reasons for not remov-
ing from a malarial neighborhood
that it don't do for a man at his
time of life to 60 about changing
his diseases and adding, that there
are diseases incident to almost
every locality, and he likes a dis
ease he is used to.
Now, in case of malarial dis
eases, aside from the unwilling
ness of patients to "change dis
cases." it is generally not conven-
lent to change their residence. If
this were done in every case, some
of our most thriving communities
would be depopulated.
Nothing is left to do therefore
but to fortify oneself against mala-
rial influences. For this purpose
Drs, Starkey & Palen's Compound
Oxygen has proved itself in the
past 20 years the most efficient
thing in the world.
Any person desiring to change
diseases for health should write us
a plain statement of the case, when
if possible, the way will be point
ed out. The consultation is with
out charge. Address Drs. Stark
