- Dr. Hall relates the case of a man who
was ern-ed of his biliousness by going
without his supper and drinking; freely
of lemonade. Every morning, says the
i ioctor, thu patient arose with a wonder
ful sense of xst and refreshment, and a
feeling as though , the blood had been
literally washed, cleansed and oooled by
the lemonade and the fast. His theory
is that food will be used as a remedy for
many diseases successfully. As an ex
ample he cures eases of spitting blood
, by the use of salt ; epilepsy and yellow
v fever, by watermelons; kidney affections,
by celery; poison, olive or sweet oil;
erysipelas, pounded cranberries applied
, ' to the parts affected; hydrophobia, onions,
etc. So the way to keep in good health
is really to know what to eat not to
-. know what medicines to takew-v k'";.rl-

A good deal of discussion has lately

that the sun's heat by expanding' the air

BOW THS SPIDER BUILDS.
Having first decided upon the general
location of her net, the spider takes posi
tion, head downward, upon the leeward
side of a small twig or branch, or upon
its top, and then, turning her abdomen
outward, expresses from her spiimers a
drop of gum, which instantly dries so as
to form a fine' end of a silken thread.
This is taken by the wind (and careful
experiments have proved that current
of air is absolutely necessary to the ex
tension of the line) and wafted outward,
waving from side to side, and usually
tending upward from its extreme light
ness until at last it touches some other
branch at a greater or less distance from
the first. ' When this stoppage is per
ceived by the spider, she turns about and
pulls in the shMsk linsv. until she is sure
that the other end is fast. If it yields,
she tries again, and again, until success
ful. If it holds, she attaches her end
firmly by pressing her spinners upon the
wood, ! so as to include the line. "The
first and most important step in the con
struction of all geometrical nets has now
been taken, and the. spider can meet
with no serious difficulty in completing
her task. Prof. X Wilder, in Popular

which may be interesting to our farm
ers. It is stated that at an agricultural
meeting at Valenciennes, ' France,
triumphal arch was erected, bearing the
following inscription : : The growth of
wheat m this district before the produc
tion of beet-sugar was only 976,000
bushels. The number pf oxen was 700.
Since the introduction of the sugar man

1 An interesting note of the observations
of the transit of Venus in the Himalaja
mounmms Dy J. ii. a. itennessy is
oonrmunicated to Nature. In describing
uie pnenomena or the transit, the author
has occasion to speak of Venus as she
appeared across the sun's limb, when
one portion of her own limb, is seen
against the sun, and the other remains
against the sky. The former portion he
calls Venus's sun limb or Vn, the latter
Venus's sky limb, or Vk, Again he e
quiree to mention a ring of light around
Vk, which he indicates by T.V, the corresponding-ring
around Vn being under
stood by Ln. Another point is this
Any one who has watched, say, the sun's
limb, especially at a low altitude and
with high power, must be aware of the
turmoil or ebullition which . there ap
pears, very like as if the limb was being
boiled. He denotes this kind of turmoil
by " boiling. The author did not de
tect Venus's limb until after it had made
an indentation on the sun's limb. The
latter boiled sensibly, but by no means
violently. It appeared jagged, and as
if with minute spikes projecting in
wards, all of which were well denned in
the bluish field. Watching Vn, he found
it also boiling slightly, but in a manner
somewhat , different to the. sun's limb.
The appearance was that of boiling va
por coming round from the face of Ve
nus, turned toward the sun and overlap
pins Vn ; moreover, this boiling was ho
restricted to the edge of Vn, but extend
ed two or three minutes beyond, thus
forming a kind of boiling annulus, in
which there : -were ; minute sparkling
specks, dancing and shifting about, ap
pearing and disappearing ; the edge Vn
was seen through the boiling. ' Neither
pear-drop nor ligament was. seen either
at ingress or egress.-
A slip of grammar ia a recent number

his correction before the sentence reaches

The next world I There is something
very terrible to some minds in the idea
of leaving all they have enjoyed and most
valued, and going away to the cold and
silent grave. They cannot hear it. They
turn away from the grim spectre, they
flee from the unwholesome thoughts that
would intrude themselves upon them.
They cannot bear to be 'alone would
have any one, no matter ; whom, with
them, rather ' than remain in solitude.
They strive to drive away- the thought
which presses on them, reminding them
that the days are passing passing ; that
the hour is approaching when the soul
and body must part, when time will be
the shadow and eternity the substanee.
It is with the life of such as jt is with a
ship that passes over the waves of the
sea, which, when it is gone by, the. trace
thereof cannot be found, neither the
pathway of the heel in the waves. Or as
when a bird has flown through' the air
there is no token of the way to be found;
as when an arrow is shot at a mark it
parts the sir, which immediately comes
together again. So these pass away like
a shadow ; their life a great mistake. '

there's a street-preacher in San Francisco

himself at a comer of Third and Market

leaves. Near Konigsberg there are turf-
bogs of large extent ; a clever experi

Clever manufacturers make and sell meat-
flour, and recommend it as nutritions.
This flour is made from the beef used in
the manufacture of Liebig's Extract ;
all the juices, all the ; goodness are

beef is ground up for sale. The buyers
are, ot course, cheated, for the meat-
flour thus produced contains no nutri
ment.. It would be better to eat sawdust.
A Belgian boils beef bones in water for
some hours, with addition of rock-salt
and a little alum, and thereby obxains a
size which can be used with . advantage
in tne preparation of cotton and silk
goods. . Two Frenchwomen have proved

Dr. . Nathan Allen,' of Lowell, Massa
chusetts, -tells of the following instance
of ?twO' remarkably long-lived, families
within ' his own knowledgs,-'' via.',' Jbna-
-tlian and . KehemiaU , Allen, ; who fwese
D7m ia kia "ii-iry in and moved to
Be-reabou 1.7C0. " The Srst-nanied had
seven children,, bne dying ia infancy, but
the other six reached the Average age of
e ,7 bty The parents reached the ages of
niiefy-4wo and eight-sfeven. Nehemiah
Allen had,' ten children- four eons and
six daughtersharwho reached respectively
these remarkable ages,' sixty-sevea,
eighty, eighty,,, eighty-two, eighty-four,
ninety-three,? ninety-four, ninety-five,
nineiy-six, ninety-six. - If the months in
each case are added to the aggregate, it
makes to average for the whole of eighty- A ;
eight years. If we xasJta an average of J
me nve over ninety,; reaches, includ
inar the months, an average of ninety
five. We question whether many such
cases of family longevity can be found
ia the whole histvry of New England.
