tuberculosis.

Professor Law of Cornell university,
who is an expert ON the subject of tu-
berculosis, declares that the extensive
experiments with that disease which
are being carried ON in the agricultural
department of the university will prove
to be of great value. GAS one, !" he says,
"who took a prominent part in the ex-
tirpation Of the cattle lung plague from
Illinois and from the continent, work
carried ON in the face of much opposi-
ton, detraction and assertions of its i'm
possibility, 1 feel warranted in saying
that tuberculosis can be successfully
dealt with along the same lines. 1t may
not be accomplished in our day, it may
not even be attempted along the lines
that would warrant an expectation of
speedy success, but as surely as human
ity is advancing 10 a higher and better
future so surely will this white plague
tuberculosis, be eradicated from our
herds and finally from our homes. -

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

Don't give me any for the Jewish
quarter, said the gray coated mail car
rier as he leaned against the window of
the registry department and waited for
his portion of the salmon colored slips.
"Ah, this is Saturday; that's a
fact said the man who stood at the
other side of the window.
1t is we'll known in the registry de-
partment Of the city postoffice that no
registered letters or packages go to the
Russian Jew quarter of the city on the
last day cf the week. If one is sent out
by mistake, it is invariably returned,
and the mail carrier naturally objects to
needlessly weighing down his mail bag.
None Of the merchants in that part of
the north side given over to the smaller
wares and shops will sign for registered
mail on their Sabbath.
Between the rising and going down
of the sun on that day it is accounted a
sin to make such transactions. AS con-
sequence the Sostman's pouch is lighter
on that day and correspondingly heavier
on the following Monday, while in the
big safes in the registry department re-
pose valuables which might be esti.
mated, in monetary worth, by a sum
that reaches the fourth fgure.-St

Sea sick Animals.

Human beings are not the only ones
who suffer from seasickness. Lions and
tigers may be majestic when they have
unwavering earth or rock against their
paws, but a seasick lion or tiger is as
miserable as any man ever was and does
not look a bit more kingly than a wet
rabbit. Even its roars and growls have
a weeping sound in them. A monkey is
a pitiful object when it is seasiclr, and
its forlorn facial expression is so human
and the way it clasps its paws is SO
natural that the man who is not sea-
sick necessarily sees something to laugh
at in the misery Of the creature. A dog
is woeful object when at sea. 1t has a
way of doubling all up, with its tail
between its legs and head hanging
down, that shows deep seated pain. To
free itself the dog goes through all sorts
of contortions. It will stretch out ON
the deck, groan and squeal, sometimes
rising on its launches and lifting its
head and bowling long and miserably,
as some dogs do at the sound of music. -

Making Birch Oil.

Connecticut farmers have found a
comfortable side profit in gathering the
twigs, branches and saplings of black
birch for the birch oil distilleries. By
protecting the young growth crops are
quickly raised. The birch brush has
brought from ST. to So ton. The
birch oil has sold at So to So pound,
but is now less. One ton of birch yields
four pounds of oil. Farmers can make the
oil themselves. The distillery may be
any rough building, and the machinery
is inexpensive. The birch twigs, not
over two inches in diameter, are cut in
lengths of five inches and thrown into
water tight tanks with copper bottoms,
in which are coils of steam pipes
Three feet of water is poured in, the
tanks are Theoretically sealed, and steam
is turned into the pipes. The water is
kept boiling six hours, and the steam,
rising, passes into pipe which runs in
the form of worm into barrel of cold
water constantly renewed. The steam
is condensed in the worm, and the oil
drips from the end of the pipe into
pail. 1t was formerly clarified from a
dull brown to light green after this
process. Now this is done by spreading
a heavy wooden blanket over the birch
wood inside the tank, and the oil drips
out pure and ready for market. Chi

Tame Fish.

we'll remember accompanying Mr..
Lloyd, when keeper of the aquarium at
the Crystal palace, in a ramble behind
the scenes. =" The fish in every tank,
even down to the small gray mullet, fol-
lowed him eagerly as he walked along,
cupboard love" being possibly at the
bottom of their affection. The cod were
extraordinarily tame, and, pushing their
great noses out of the water, allowed
themselves to be fondled by Mr.. Lloyd s
hand. Mention of the cod reminds me of
reading an account Of an inlet of the sea
on an estate in Scotland, shut off arti-
ficially by means of wall of loose rock,
in which the cod were kept until want
ed for the table. They grew very tame
and came up to the bank to be fed with
pieces of meat, and such was their faith
in human nature that, when the fateful
hour arrived and the gait, adorned with
piece of meat, was presented, the un-
suspecting cod would open his jaws as
usual, only to be forthwith dragged
from his natural element London

missionary with Onion Sauce.

A missionary about to be put to death
by savage king, whom he had vainly
attempted to convert, was greatly as
tonished to find that the king had sud-
denly resolved to pardon him. The only
stipulation his majesty made was that
he should mount his horse and carry a
small sealed packet and a letter to an
other king some distance away.
He started off in high glee, and on
his way he met with a detachment of
English sailors, sent to his assistance.
They wanted him to go on board their
ship, but he declined, being DESTROYS of
fulfilling his mission. But they would
not accept this answer, and while the
discussion was proceeding an officer ex-
amined the packet and the letter.
In the former he found a number of
pungent little onions, while the latter
contained the simple but significant
words in native hieroglyphics:
s'He will be delicious with these. -
