In the Adirondack.
The destructions of forest, without
any relation or benefit to even this po r
agriculture is e ually noteworthy.
Mountains which I remember well as
covered with forest are now as bare
and rocky as the lower White mountain
peaks, and the face of the most moun
tainous porti ns of the country I hare
ji st passed through is scaicly recog
nisable. It was not until I arrived at
the Sa anac Lake that I became aware
of the identity of the localities I knew
twenty years ago, and even here thare
is great change. The invasion of the
forest is going on at a rate which, even
if not accelerated, will leave no solid
ma;sof forest of any considerable, ex
tent after another century, and th's
though the lajid offers no inducement
to farmers as compared with western
countries -less, even, than districts in
JTew .ngland, which are now given up
entirely to sheep and cattle grazing.
The greater p trt of this Adirondack
country, it must be remembered, when
once burnt over, and tha accumulation
of mould of many centuries, wh'ch is
its oniy soil, destroyed as it is by the
l res, is absolutely worthless, even for
forest culture. Here may be seen re
mains of forests, with stumps of h"ge
trees still rooted among bare crajrs,
every trace of moss and mould having
been eradicated by the - pealed fires.
Between these tracts are occasional
passages of lertile land, not great in
aggregate extent as toinparei with the
mountain land, and these are tl.e only
Fortions which attract agriculturists,
n past years these lound their market
among the lumbering population, but
a3 the available lumber country is now
becoming rapidly exhausted, the lumber
trade will lose all its importance in
a lew years, and the difficulties of
communication would destroy the
market value of the produce of these
remote and .solated tracts. '1 he newly
discovered sanitary qualities of the Ad
irondack region are attracting many
invalids, and even in the winter there
is an increasing and a'ready ) consider
able number of visitors for health. This
new interest complicates the question
of forest preservation, and it most be
studied with both the lumberman and
the tourist to conslde . A present the
lumberman is doing all he can to. de
stro. the commercial value, of the for
est by tb.3 exhaustive casting of the
pines and spruces, but the operation, if
done carefully and under strict super
vision, would do no harm, nor is there
any reason why the lumbering should
be stopped. It is not the axe . but the
nre-banc that destroys the foie t, and
the proper restriction of the tourist and
sportsman in their recklessness of fire
making, as the cause of more devasta
tion than the axe and plough com
bined, is as much in the interest of the
lumberman as of the State. The in
c: ease of this class of visitors, the con
sequent increase o: hotels and summer
residences, each one the nucleus of a
new clearinr, the centre from which
new tire invasions start, make th s re
striction every, day more important.
Hotels are now buildinff in the ' very
heart of the wilderness, and o;wn onj
by the local oem ind it causes for the
w . ..- M
products oi tne sou, ior us own uses
and those of the attendant population
of guides and boatmen, increases rapid
ly all the difficulties attendant on the
final regulation of the question.
That portion of the responsibility of
the great and profitless destruction
which falls to the lumberman is due to
the'r reckless accumulation of the
"brush wood' which the trimming of
the trees causes, and which, being of
the pitchy firs, is, when dried, as' in
flammable as powder, and prepares the
ground for the match of the tourist
whose camp-fire leaves the kindling of
the mighty conflagrations we see nora
at times. Cor. A7. Y. Evening PosL

The first names to be found in the
profession have a strange Dutch and
quasi-learned Latin air about them
De Bills and Clauderius, Huysch and
Swammerdam apothecaries, amateurs
and physicians; eac i boasting of his
own particular process and contemptu
ous of the other, and each with his own
cabinet where he kept his specimens,
and whence he jealously ex luded his
rivals.
Of these, Ruysch, the anatomist, was
the most celebrated and the. most suc
cessful. Up to his day, the Egyptian
process simplified and modified, but
not materially departed from, had
chiefly continued in repute, and it was
he who introduced an impo-tant change
of detail, and con eived an .; executed
the plan of injecting preser.ntiv.! fluids
into the dead body by the blood-vessels.
A contemporary of Peter the Oreat, he
carried the art to such perfe tion that
his specimens werethe wonder of the
time in which he lived, and it is een
re orded that the C ar on seeing the
body of a child which he had : preserved,
did not detect it was dea i and kissed it.
liut he died with his sec et undisclosed,
jealous of it to the last, as they all were;
De Biis, too, departed, uncommunica
tive; though Clauderius, on one occasion
admitted to his cabinet on the sip. t
understand'ng that he touch nothing,
managed to wet his finger and apply it
se retly to a specimen, and tasting it,
detected the presence of salt.
In England, William HuntT fol
lowed the process of Ruysch, making a
well-known use of it with the wife of
the eccentric Martin v; n Butchell, who
reposes to this day in the Museum
of the College of Surgeons, to whoso
receptions alter death many of the most
learned and fashionable of the London
world flocked in curiosity.

A Peddler's Trick.
An Alleo'henev. Dhvsician. h-.vin-r his
suspicions aroused that therj was some
trick about the living thin s found in
the water on the South Side when ex
amined under a microscope, found that
a peddler of microscopes had led-to all
the trouble. Ihe attention of Dr.
Shillito, of Allegheny, was called to
the matter. Dr. Shillito possesses one
of the finest microscopes in the country
and is an expert in all microsco-, l. al
matter. He examined one of the red
dler's plates, and found that the
wrigglers were what are known as
sour-paste lizards. These creatures,
invisible to the naked eye, are gen
erate I by sour paste. The paste can
be dried and kept for years. A drop of
water will dissolve it and reanimate the
thousands of lizards that it contains.
The peddler was hunted up an forced
to divulge his secret. He ha in his
vest pocset a small bottle filled with
sour paste in liquid form. On entering
an o.tice he would offer to show the
impurities in a drop of water. The
drjp would be brought to him on his
glass plate. In the most natural man
mer possible he would draw his tooth-
Cick, wh ch was sticking in the i.ivisi
e bottle, and spread the water o er the
surface of the glass. Just tnongh of the
sour paste adhered to the to th pick and
was deposited on the gljass 'o carry a
number of li ards with it. The glass,
so prepared, would be placed under
the magnifier, and the water would be
found to hi alive with transparent
hza ds that seemed never tired of
ii ashing back and forth under the glass.
Dr. Sfiillito exposed the trick to a
number of friends last evening, after
having successfully made them Delieve
that it was the water alone that thjy
were examining. Ptt's'mrg'i (Pa.)

Bis Suspicions Were Confirmed.
A mild-mannered, athletic-looking
joung man, stepped up to a stranger at
the corner of Milk and Devonshire
streets yesterday and pulled a twenty
dollar bill out of his vest pocket. "I sus
pect," said he, confidentially, that that
is a counter.eit. Can you tell me if it
is?"
The stranger looked the bill over and
handed it back, saying that he couldn't
tell himself whether it was bad or not,
but if the mild-mannered, athletic
looking voung man would step over to
the sub-Treasury in the post-office he
could very readily find . out, he was
sure.'
The young man crossed over and pre
sented the bill to the clerk behind the
bars. He suspected the twenty was
bad, he said. The clerk turned it ovei
and held it up to the light. Then he
went over to a corner of the incloure
and brought a big heavy stamp down
on the bill. When he handed it back
to the mild-mannered young man the
word "counterfeit" was cut across it in
large letters.
"Wiry, you poor thing," said the
young man, "you have spoiled it! What
are you groins: to erive me in place of it?
I can't pass that thins- now."

This angered the athletic young man.
He almost frothed at the mouth. "You

son of a gun," he cried, "come out
of your pen there and Pll wallop the
life out o' you."
The clerk didn't come out of his pen,

Home Xurslnsr.
Apart from the helpless tediousness
of a long illness, which alone may af-
lect the patient s temper and cause
varying degrees of irritability, there is,
with some diseases, an accompanying
fretfulness or moodiness most difficult
to manage. So marked may this be
come that, occasionally, the "patient
seems to have changed his character,
and the most amiable, and Unselfish in
health may become the most impatient
and exacting in illness. The trained
nurse, accustomed to watch the effects
of disease, will understand and make
allowance for such perversion; but in
private nursing the patient's friends
often suffer acutely from manifestations
of ill temper, for which they could only
account on moral grounds.
There is such a thing as spoiling a
patient, even though he be past the age
we generally associate with the word
"spoil." Illness often brings back
somo of tho wayward peevishness of
childhood, and you get such things to
contend with as positive refusal to take
food or medicine, or to comply with
some order of the doctor's. As re
gards the question of how far to give
in to a patient's whims and fancies,
there is no better general rule than
th s: oppose his wishes only on ques
tions of right and wrong; and, when
opposition becomes a necessity, use
special efforts so to keep our self-con
trol as to avoid til expression of anger

rule, lack of health and lack of sym

surmountable obstacles in the way of
those who desire to be helpful in the

For observe that the qualities of self
control, cheerfulness and patience,
though much easier to some than to
others, are within the reach of all who
earnestly strive to possess them; and,
moreover, each and all are capable of
being developed and cultivated to an
almost unlimited extent. Sympathy, on
the other hand, though capable of de
velopment by its fortunate possessor, is
one of those natural gifts which no
amount of training can impart, and
which is no moie within the reach of
all than is that good health without
which attempts at nursing can not but
end in failure. Given these two special
gifts of health and sympathy, and you

WHAT IS CATARRH 1
A Revolution in the Treatment of this Disease.
Catarrh is a Tmuco-purulent discharge
caused by the presence and development
of the vegetable parasite amieba in the in
ternal lining membrane of the nose. This
parasite is only developed under favorable
circumstances and these are: Morbid
state of the blood, as the blighted corpuscle
of tubercle, the germ poison of syphilis.mer
cury, toxcemea, from the retention of the
effete matter of the skin, suppressed per
spiration, badly ventilated sleepings apart
ments, and other poisons that are germin
ated in the blood. These poisons keep the
internal lining membrane of the nose in a
constant state of irritation, ever ready for
the deposit of the seeds of these germs,
which spread up the nostrils and down
the fauces or back of the throat, causing
ulceration of the throat; up the eustachian
tubes, causing deafness; burrowing in the
vocal cords, causing hoarseness: usurping
the proper structure of the bronchial tubes,
ending in pulmonary consumption and
death.
Many attempts have been made to dis
cover a cure for this distressing disease by
the use of inkalents and other ingenious
devices, but none of these treatments can
do a particle of good until the amoeba are
either destroyed or removed from the
mucous tissue.
Some time since a well-known physician
of forty years' standing, after much exper
imenting, succeeded in discovering the ne
cessary combination of ingredients, which
never fails in absolutely and permanently
eradicating this horrible disease whether
standing for one year or forty years.

Iodide of Potassium Is one of the strongest of the
minerals use in medicii.e. stid has produced much suf
fering in tbe world. Taken for a long time and in large
doses. It dries up the gastric Juices, impairs digestion,
the stomach refuses food, and the patient declines in
health and weight. Persons with ldood or Skin Dis
eases should be eareful bow they take these n ineral
poisons, as in most lnstahoos the effect of them is to al
