SEA WATER AS A REMEDY.
Successfully Employed as a Cure for
Iuberculosis.

Consul General Guenther Of Frank
fort, Germany. furnishes from German
papers 4 report to the effect that DR..
Quinton of Paris has recently commu-
nicated to the Paris Academy OF Med
icine with reference to the effects of sea
water upon tuberculosis. The expert
ments were conducted with sea water
which was so diluted With pure water
as to contain seven parts of salt in
1000 parts OF liquid. Only in this
strength salt water should be brought
into contact with the inner tissues of
the human body. The sea water must.
of course. be steriliZed and is then In
jected hypodermically once in three or
four days in doses of from SO to 800
cubic centimeters. So far Dr.. Quinton,
assisted by another physician. has
treated eighteen patients in the man
ne- indicated, and ascertained at once
evidence reviving effect Of the sea wa.
ter. The patients gained steadily in
weight. Only three, in whom the dis.
ease had progressed very far, showed
no improvement. while in the other ff.
teen a decided improvement. both in the
general condition and in that OF The
diseased parts, the lungs or the glands
was effected. Expectoration and tn
number of bacilli were decreased.

Place for Malachi.

A tiresome pastor was once preaching
a sermon on the prophets. telling their
place in history, etc. After preaching
three hours without saying anything, he

elder who was becoming very impatient

The Wren.

~
The wren is quite a little burd,
And yit Its lungs are strong:
It's s.ngin' here AN singing there,
An singin' all day long:
1t seems as IL 1t tries to fill
The whole world full of song.
The jay-burd is d sassy burd,
His cries are orful fearful;
The whipperwil is kinder sad
The turtle-dove Is fearful;
Tho lark has got a splendid voice,
An yit 1t isn't All
The blackboard haint no good, altho'
He's got a purity look.
But all he does Is set an swing
On reeds beside the brook;
The cat-burd cries jes' like a cat
Thet's lost, or else fersook.
An 80 I want to state right now
The wren's my favert burd
Fer music: yit Its looks
Are not at all preferred,
Fore tothers. but it's voice
g sweetest ever heard
1t seems to me like all the Joy,
Thet this yere world contains,
From NORTH pole to southern,
From mountains, seas er planes,
Is just reflected by the wren
In its happy frames.

Quality Of Fruit.

Although the quantity OF fruit now
being produced IN the United States
Is less than the growing demand, yet
the Improvement In quality is more
needed than an increase in quantity,
at least from the standpoint OF the
grower. AT the present time we are
producing a large percent OF fruit that
Is unmarketable because OF being
wormy or understood. III an orchard

general lots. one the marketable. sec.
ond. the unmarketable on account OF

The orchards are few that produce a
high percentage OF good.slzed apples
entirely free from worms or scab. II
Is evident 20 any student OF orchard
ing that II We can make all OF our
fruit first class, the receipts will be
doubled for the amount Of fruit we
now raise. Two general lines OF pro.
cedure must be followed in the i'm
proving OF the quality OF our apples.
The first is 10 get rid OF the worms
and scab through spraying. This IS a
science the value OF which has been
fully demonstrated, yet we find com
paratively few orchardists that have
yet come around 10 making spraying

line OF effort must be I'm the thinning
