' - 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- 1 BBXOVAX.

A good deal of discussion has lately taken place in this country over the old question whether sunshine checks com bustion. It is an old notion that son- wune lessens the intensity of a fire, and may even put it out, and the'theorv that the sun's heat by expanding' the air .caused a diminished supply of oxygen to uiereoai.

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.

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.

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 of the Atlantic Monthly has revived the discussion as to the necessity of a new personal pronoun singular, that will do tor either sex. The Atlantic permitted itself to say: "We would rather set a boy or girl upon someone poet nearest akin to tnetr mental aptitude. Now this pecu nar blunder is very frequent.

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. ' ." jir'jrojrjrr....:..r.r:.ji-.

The street-preacher, feeling his mission superior to that of other men, doesn't always recollect that the ' golden rule should form part of his creed when he Belects a place for his wild oratory. But there's a street-preacher in San Francisco who will probably be more discreet in future in this respect. He established himself at a comer of Third and Market streets in that city, and soon the cracked tones of his appealing voice summoned sinners to a hearing, The sinners came in - crowds, not so much for profit as amusement,' and they blocked up the sidewalk, and impeded business - ; : The annoyed proprietor of the store in front of which the lowly evangelist was hold ing t forth, entreated him to move on, but the lowly evangelist 'wouldn't move!
