Loosened the cold, hard soil, and soon there sprung Into a perfect bloom a little flower. A light wind swayed the flower and stirred its loaves; I listened, and it whispered this to me : " I felt the pain, the darkness and the chill Before I bloomed and I am like to thee." Then from the gloomy depths of my sad soul I heard a murmur softly, sweetly rise : " Life is the bursting seed of Love," it said. "Sown in the earth, to blossom lu the skiea." TIIli:i MOTHEKS.

The little roil scliool-hoivto on the brow of a long hill, just at te edge of the village. A lonely pla id at this time, five o'clock in the afternoon; for the last barefooted urchin aad disap peared down the long hill o 2r an hour ago. It would seem t.at there was nothing to detain the pretty ichool-mis-tress so late; but she still sa behind her little table, leaning her hea 1 upon her hand, and ponderinsr, not 0 7er reports, or educational works, as one might think from her looks, but t love-letter. There it lay, on the table before her and in her mind, swinging in the balance, was the yes and no. Which should it be? Some girls find it an easy thiug to enprage themselves, and then break the chain when it becomes too irksome. But this Saidie Kempal was a conscientious little body, just un fashionable enough to consider an en gagement a serious thing, not to be en tered into lightly; and when once formed, to be sacred and binding. So, she was trying to probe her heart, and discover her feelings toward the writer of this letter, who said that he loved her so tenderly, and could never be happy unless she was bis wife. The study had lasted an hour, and she was no nearer the conclusion than at first. Perhaps, if she had seen a little more of the world, sho could have decided sooner; but her days had been so bound ed and hedged by home ties, and the quiet village life, that she had not yet learned the all-important lesson, a knowledge of her own heart. Her thoughts ran something like this: "I like him this Harry Barrows. I don't believe I shall ever see any one else I can like as well. He has a good character, is wealthy, and loves me. If I say yes, everybody will be pleased, and I shall doubtless be very happy. No more pinching about money matters at home, or drudging in the school room. I wonder why I hesitate. I wish I was a child again, to bo told what to do. If I go to mother, she will say, 'Do just what your heart tells you, my daughter,' when my heart won't tell me anything about it. She would be delighted, though, if I would say yes; and I could lighten her cares so much. It is such a worry to mothers to have so many daughters unsettled. Then there is Lina Grev. How sur prised sho would be! I believe she rather likes Harrv herself. I believe I believe I will say yes." The conference was over, and spring ing ligutly to Jier leet, she quickly closed the shutters for the night, and taking her wide hat, locked the door, and started down the hill. She was glad to find that she felt happier, now that the question was de cided. There is such a relief in giving one's hapiness into anothere's keeping, and knowing that they will guard it well. Saidie hurried on, for she knew ft was getting late; and she had made an appointment to meet her friend, Lina Orey, under the great, weeping willow, by the edge of the lake, and the hour for tne meeting had more than passed. "Meet me at our old trysting-place. un der the willow, by the lake," she ' had written. Lina saw her coming, and rushed forward tnmultuously. "Oh! Ithought you would never be here!" she cried. "I began to fear you hadn't got my note in time. I only returned last night, and had not time to see you be fore you went to school, so I wrote, asking you to meet me here, for then I iiy, we conui have a half-hour's chat. all to ourselves, and that nftrwnrdn uu iut we could go home together."

Eina, too, looked aronnd," and rose 2 - -j-.--. to her feet. "It is only Mr. Earle, mama's nephew," she cried. "He is to sjend the summer with us, and half promised to meet me here; for I want you particularly to know him. Mr. Earle, this is my friend, Saidie Kem pal, of whom I have so often spoken. Saidie, Mr. Balph Earle." The new comer took off his hat, with marked emphasis, and then shook Saidie cordially by tho hand, looking at her admiringly, though not offensively, with a pair of rather handsome eyes. "Not half so handsome as Harry's," thought Saidie, though she blushed under the gaze. It was Lina who did most of tho talk ing, as they walked home; sho was so bright and merry, that it was a pleasure to listen to her. Such a gay summer as she planned! Saidie's school was to break up on the morrow, for a two months' vacation, and she would be at liberty to enjoy it with tho rest. "And oh ! won't we have a nice time?" cried Lina. Near the gato Harry was waiting. He was introduced, in due form, to Mr. Earle, and then fell back with Saidie, and walked with her to the door. "You got my letter?" he whispered, a3 soon as the others were out of hear ing. ,, Is it to be yes, or no?" There was a moment's "silence, and the girl's heart beat loudly. Finally she raised her eyes to his face, and there was not a shadow of doubt their clear depths, as she answered; in "1 tuinlv it is to be yes, Harrv. The glad tidings soon spread "through the Kempal family, for there were no secrets in that house; and it pleased Saidie to feel that she had made them all happier. If sho had liked Harry less than she did, she could not have helped but feel happier herself, to see the brightness she had brought into the house. It was quite early on the first day of Saidie's vacation, when Lina's pony phaeton stood at the Ivempal crate; and unuer me wuiie canopy, witn it s gay fringe, sat it's own r, beckoning to her friend. To slip on a hat, and step in beside Lina, was the work of a moment, and the two girls were soon busily talk ing, as the lazy pony jogged along. There was a little reserve on Saidie's part, for she could not yet make up her mind to confide to Lina her engage ment, but her friend was so busy tell ing of her own affairs, that she did not notice it. After a while, sho spoke of Ralph Earle.. "What do you think of nim, anyway?" said Lina. "I don't know. I hardly noticed him yesterday." "There! I wish I could tell that to his loyal highness. I shan't tell you now what he said about you. Do you know why mamma has invited him here this summer?" "For his health, I suppose. He looks badly." "So he supposes. But that clever little woman has quite another idea in her head, tone means that I shall mar- ry him. "Why, Lina!" "Its a fact." "Do you like him?" "Do I like him? Of course I do. Ralph Earle is elegant. But it don't follow that I'm going to marry him. lie isn't my style at all; is altogether too deep for shallow me. I always liked him; but I shall hate him pretty soon, if my step-mamma don't stop throwing me at his head in such an ab surd manner." "What can be her object? I never thought her overly fond of you." "Oh, I'm only thrown in as an en cumbrance. She adore3 Ralph, and he is poor. Well, I've got money. Do you understaud?" "Poor child!" "You need not poor me. I am going to make myself just as disagreeable as possible. And I have a little plan in my head, and you must say yes. I want you to pack up and be ready, when I come for you to-morrow, to come and stay several weeks with me. Say yes, that's a dear." "Not if you are going to put me in Mr. Earle's way," said Saidie, looking a little susnciously a Lina's mischievous face. "Nonsense, child! You need not look at him, if you feel that way. Only come; wo will have grand times. There was no opposition to this pro ject, and the next day found Saidie set tled in tho great stone house over the river. She loved luxury, and it was like a beautiful dream to live amid such elegance. She fancied that Mrs. Grey was not quite as pleased as she might have been with the arrangement; but Ralph was so pleasant, and Lina so de lighted, that she did not mind it. Lina was right in pronouncing Ralph Earle elegant. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word; and although not remarkably handsome, his face was one that could be trusted forever. Mrs. Grey was a widow, and although wealthy this "beautiful home belonged to Lina. So it was no wonder 6he was exerting her utmost to make a match between her favorite nephew and the heiress. So the Summer days passed on. Pleasant morning rambles in the old woods; lazy afternoons by the willow, at the trysting place beside the lake; and gay evenings over the piano, or on the croquet ground, out on the lawn, where Harry always joined them. In deed, he was with them most of the time, and Saidie had grown quite used to being engaged. There was not much chance for love-making, as the rest did not know of it; and Lina. in trying to avoid Ralph, made it so that Saidie ras his comDanion most of the time, while 6lie appropriated Harry. Saidie could not blame her, although she wondered how she could help lov ing the one her mother had selected tor her. He was so brilliant and interest ing; so different from any one she had ever met before. He seemed to under stand her wants so well, and sympathize in all her tastes. So it happened, while Lina and Harry played games, or ran races on the lawn in their wild fashion, the otner two sat on one of the rustic seats that the old elms shaded, and read or talked. Ralph had that charm that is so irresistible in any one, a melodi ous voice. It seemed to Saidie, when he read, that all the world was drifting away, and leaving them in an enchanted realm. What happy days those were, and how swiftly they flew by! No one thought of the Fall that was coming, to part them all. They lived in the happy present, and were satisfied. One day Saidie had promised Ralph to meet him at the rustic Beat, and found, on going, that Mrs. Gray was before her. She seemed unusually gracious, and inclined to conversation, and, after a few com mon places, said abruptly: "I suppose you are aware of my wishes concerning Laura ?" Saidie bowed her heac "Lina persistently defuses to believe that I am disinterested in this matter, and I see, has made you feel the same. I am convinced that Mr. Earle is just the one for her, and she is throwing away her best chance of happiness, in flirting as she does with Harry. As for Ralph, I know that if he were left alone, he would love her." The last words were emphasized in such a manner, that her listener could not help but understand. "If you think I am interfering, j'ou are mistaken." "I will be frank with you," said the elder lady. "I feared you were becom ing interested in my nephew, and I thought I would warn you." The bright color faded from the girl's che.k, and a strange look came into her eyes. For a moment she was una ble to speak. Like a flash of lightuing came the terrible revelation, the mean ing of all tho hapjiiness the Summer had brought. She know now what love was. To her there was but one hope of happiness in the world, and that the must put from her. It was a hard, strained voice that answered Mrs. Grey: "You need not be alarmed, madam. I am engaged to Harry Barrows." The lady looked at her in astonish ment; then she actually kissed her. "You sly little puss, to keep that all to yourself, now glad I am that you are going to do so well. There comes Ralph now. I am going to surprise him with the news." And before Sai die could stop her, she called him to them, and in a few words told the whole story. Then, seeing guests at the house, she left them, with" a nod and a laugh, thinking as she did so, "Sho loves him, poor girl; but I can trust her. Saidie is the very soul of honor. As for Ralph, ho will soon overcome his admiration for her pretty face." There was nothiug said for some time after she left. An observer might not have noticed anything strange in the figures of the two. Saidio, sitting quite motionless, with her face turned away; Ralph at her feet, in the same careless attitude he had first assumed. But who can tell of tho anguish in both their hearts? "Will he never move or speak?" she thought. At last he rose, and taking the vacant seat at her side, turned 1 er face gently toward him. At the sight of it, pale and tear-stained, his calmness was p;one. "My darling, my darling! you do love me! What is this hateful engagement to tis?" For a moment she yielded to his pas sionate carresses; then she remembered, and cried, brokenly, "Ralph, you muse not tempt me so. I have promised to be Harry's wrife, and I will never break a promiso that is so sacred." "But where there is no love, you surely are not bound. It is a mistaken sense of honor that permits such a sac rifice." She shook her head mournfully. "I should have thought of that' be fore. It is too late." Still he pleaded with her, and she, loving him as sho did, could only re fuse, although she felt it would be like parting from life itself. At last, seeing Harry and Lina ooming toward them, he said, "I will not take your answer now; send me one in the morning. And re member, dear, whatever comes, I shall love you, only yon." Harry overtook her as she tried to es cape to the house, and gave her a few tender wofds, that only made her trouble harder to bear. Sho locked herself in her room, and did not go down again that night. She wanted to face her trouble by herself, and decide what was her duty to do. It was a long, hard struggle. The cold, gray dawn peeped in at her win dow, as she wrote, "No, Ralph. I was right. I cannot break my promise. Forgive me and forget that you ever loved Saidee." She sent him this early in the morn ing; and an hour later, before Mrs. Grey and Lina made their appearance in the breakfast room, he left a note for his aunt, and ordered the coachman to drive him to the station. One last, long look at the closed blinds, behind which slum bered the only being he truly loved, and he was gone. When Harry came, that evening, he found Mrs. Grey in tears, Lina pouting and Saidie invisible. "What's up, Lina? Where is Ralph?" "Goodness knows! I don't. Saidie is locked in her room, Ralph gone, and everybody else as cross a3 bears." Harry looked bewildered, and Mrs. Grey said, "Harry Barrows, are you engaged to Saidie?" His face flushed crimson, and then turnpd white. "We are, Mrs. Grey; but " "But what? You are engaged, and that's enough," said the lady, sharply. "No, not enough," he said, with a pleading look at Lina, who had dropped into a chair, and breathlessly awaited his reply. I did think I loved Saidie, until Lina came back; but now I know it is Lina alone who can make me happy. I saw that Ralph loved Saidie, and hoped she wonld ask to be released." "And a pretty mess vou have made of it. Her sense of honor was more strict C0TJRTSSY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, than yours. She has refused Ralph, and he has gone, nobody knows where. I wash my hands of tho whole affair." And she swept from the room with an injured look, as if she had nothing further to say on the subject. After peace was made between the lovers, Lina said, "Poor Saidie! We must find Ralph and bring him back. How could the child be so good? I don't believe he will go any further than Chester to-night, and James could easily drive you over after him." It was as Lina supposed; and while Harry started off in hot haste, Lina ran up to persuade Saidie to como down into the parlor, and be there at the time they would return, intending to prepare her for it; but she could not get her courage up, until she heard the carriage wheels, and had only blundered out a few words, when Ralph sprang out of the carriage, and hurried into the room Lina left them then, only hearing Saidie's broken crv, of "Ralph! Dear Ralph," as ho gathered her close, close to his heart. After the first rapture of the meeting was over, and they could talk a little more rationally, Mrs. Grey's clear, cold tones were heard saying to some one on tho piazza: "Yes, the bright days are almost gone." And Saidie, clinging to her lover's neck, whispered : "Do you hear, Ralph? They are al most gone." "Nay, love," he answered, "they have only begun." And they hare only begun. A happi er couple than Ralph and Saidie is to be met nowhere, the wide world over. Of one spot both are especially fond, and they often go there. It is where they first met the trysting place by the willo w. Peter so ii 's ATciyaziii e. Professional Criminals in England. The "Register of Habitual Criminals in Eucland and Wales for the years ISO!) to 187G," has just been printed in the printing works of her majesty's prison, Brixton. The ponderous vol ume is bound in black, and contains the names of 12,lt;i criminals, with all their aliases. A summary of the proportions of ha bitual criminals born in particular lo calities gives rather surprising results Stafford stands at the head of the list, raised to that bad eminence by thirty criminals out of a population of 15.916, which gives the rate of 1.881 profession al criminals to every 1,000 inhabitants. Worcester comes next with sixty-seven criminals out of a population of 39,116, a rate of 1.745 to the 1,000. Where the numbers are so small the difference might seem the result of chance, but the returns extend over seven years. Taun ton comes next with twenty-seven crimi nals, among 15.406 inhabitants, a pro portion of 1.745 to the 1,000, and Lan caster has a proportion of 1.C81 to the 1.000, or twenty-nine out of 17,245. Manchester, Hereford, Wigan, Preston, Shrewsbury, Liverpool, Stockport, Warington, Glouoester, Cheltenham, Blackburn, Birmingham, Bristol, Ches ter and Hanly follow close. The metropolis, which heads the list for number of habitual criminals, pro ducing 1.503 nearly three times as many as Manchester, the next town on the list has the low proportion of .4G1 in 1,000 when its habitual criminals are compared with its total population. London thus comes out not only better than the towns already mentioned, but better than such places as Yarmouth, Ipswich, Brighton, Oxford and Cam bridge. The 2laces which produced more ihan 100 habitual criminals were London, Manchester (630), Liverpool (551), Birmingham (343), Leds (210), Bristol (ISO), Sheffield (172), Preston (112); 4,447 of the criminals came from towns or villages which contri bute fewer than twenty to tho returns. The habitual criminal, whom Ireland contributed to the prisons in England and Wales were 1,082 in number. Those who had been born in Scotland were 158. Of the total number of prisoners, 8,612 were males, 3,552 females. In spite of the merciful presumption of the law as to women acting under the direction of their husbands, the per centage of married female prisoners was 5U.12. On the other hand, the sin gle men were twice as numerous as the married men (67.2 per centum of the whole to 32.8 per centum). London Times. What Registeked Letteus Abe. An exchange says: "The question is very of ten asked: What is the differ ence between a registered letter and any other? The difference is that a regis tered letter does not go in the mail proper. It passes from hand to hand outside of the mail pouches, every per son through whose hands it passes be ing required to sign a receipt for it on receiving it, and secure a receipt for it on passing it over to the next transit. The person holding the last receipt is thus always able to show who is ac countable for its loss. The responsi bility rests upon the man who has signed a receipt for the registered package, and who is not able to produce the package or a receipt from somebody else for it. The safest way to Bend money is by money order. Where it does not go to a money-order office it should alwavs be sent in a registered packajre. Money oi'ght not be sent in an ordinary letter under any circum stance. There i no possible way of 'tracking' such a letter." Chinese Fkee Masonry.

Professor Law, in a lecture on animal parasites, delivered before the Farmers Club of Ithica, New York, a condensed report of which we find in the Country Gentleman, stated that intestinal worms might find ingress to the animal through drinking impure water. These animals, known as pin worms ( Scleroslomum equinum and S. tetracmi thum, and Oxturis curtula and O. rica paraj, and which are only an inch or two in length, attack the mucus mem branes, and bore their way into them, obstructing circulation, causing inflam mation, and inducing cramps, colics and indigestion. Other species attack swine, sheep and poultry. Largely magnified representations of their eggs were also represented by charts. These eggs aro swallowed by the animals in drinking impure water, and hence the importance of providing that which is pure and free from them. The eggs will remain uninjured for a year, and may be carried miles in streams and then be swallowed and hatch in stom achs and intestines of animals. The eggs will remain unharmed in ice, even at the temperature of zero, and are un affected by the heat of tho sun's rays. They may be conveyed from the manure which contains them by subterranean streams into adjacent wells. In some places sheep have perished in large numbers from attacks of these animals, and their presenoe in swine is well known; but horses suffer most. Tho first thing to be done is to pre vent their propagation. Hence pure water only should be supplied for drink. Rainwater is safest, as it cannot contain them. Springs and wells may be se lected, if situated where there can be no infiltration. Porous soil, near ma nure heaps, may readily convey the eggs. Professor Law pointed out in detail the treatment of animals which contain them, and the use of proper medii-inea. The indications of the pres ence of these worms in the horse are a general unthrifty appearance, irregu larity witli looseness or costiveiies f rm internal derangement, rubbing of the tail, etc. The passage of the worms and 'ggs is shown by examination ot the manure under the microscope. The whole of this lecture was scientific and practical, interesting and instructive in character. Iiml New Y-i-k".r. Sagacity of Animals. Trained or performing horses are no novelty; all of ns huve seen a horse fire a pistol, stand on two legs, waltz, lie down with his trainer, and perform- a hundred acts of sagacity; but these are simply the result of patient training and systemat ic correction. But wo read of a man who claims to understand the speech of horses, and who says that they under stand him. When arguing with him that, though ho might comprehend the meaning of the sounds emanating from the vocal chords of a horse, yet it was a patent impossibility for ahorse to un derstand the English language, he re plied: "Liviug, eating and sleeping with my horses has given me the knowl edge I possess; and the same intimacy has acquired for my horses the powers I claim for them." Here, turning to a, slender, light-built gray pony, he said: "Billy, we are talking of you. If you understand what I am saying turn your head round on the off side." The pony did so, and then resumed its feed. "Billy," he continued, "tell me your age, how long you have lived here, and on which side is your friend Vesta." The pony whinnied for about two min utes consecutively, and then, being loose in his stall, walked into the ad joining one occupied by the mare Vesta. Afterward both horses, at their master's word of command, went and drank from the trough. This certainly seemed to establish the truth of the trainer's claims. Sugar from Indian Corn. The manufacture of sugar out of ordinary corn is au industry that needs no en couragement to enable it to become a source of groat natural wealth. It needs simply the removal of a tax the tax on alcohol. The Chicago Tribune saj's: "We have been shown a specimen of raw sugar manufactured near this city from corn. It is white and very sweet. To complete its manufacture into pure granulated sugar, alcohol must be used to remove the foreign matter contained in the crude product. A bushel of corn yields thirty pounds of raw sugar, and this when purified by alcohol gives twenty-seven pounds of good sugar, marketable at four cents a pound. In other words, a bushel of corn made into sugar would bring a dollar and eight cents. Our internal revenue sys tem prohibits this development of the market for the farmer's corn, because. a.-.-i. r i. . . - ' uuiib.o mat, ui more enlightened na- i : j . , , - . . tiuu&, is taxes aiconoi destined tor use in manufactures as heavily as that which is io oe exported. A very good rule is this : If you wish nine-tenths of the milk for butter-making, and only a small amount for cook ing and tho table, then the Jersey is preieraoie Dy lar; but H the greater pan oi ine mine goes directly to supply the endless wants of family consump tion, then some other breed had better be selected.

A Cincinnati man was terribly an noyed by a young man who was court ing his daughter on account of the late hours he kept. He says that he con cealed himself and brought a "bull's eye" lantern, ith a blue glass, to bear upon him. The lover clapped his hand to his forehead, gave a wild look around the room, and, staggering to his feet, said he felt that he would have to 'O. And did. The old gentleman states that the dose will be repeated when he calls again. Sprains. HalVs Journal of Health gives a chap ter on sprains, which may contain use ful hints to sufferers from them: Sprains or strains of the joints are very painful, and moro tedious of recov ery than a broken bone. What we call flesh is muscle; every muscle tapers down to a kind of string, which we call . cord or sinew. The muscle is above the joint, and the sinewy part is below it, or vice versa, and the action is much like that of a string over a pulley. When the ankle, for example, is "sprained," the cord, tendon, or liga ment (all mean the same thing) , if torn in parts or whole, either in its body, or from its attachment to the bone, and inflammation that is. a rush of blood to the spot takes place as instantly as in case of a cut on the finger. Why ? For two reasons. Some blood-vessels are ruptured, and very naturally pour out their contents; and second, by an infal lible physiological law, an additional r supply of blood is sent to the part to repair the damages, to glue, to make grow together, the torn parts. From this double supply of blood, the parts are overflown, as it were, aud push out. causing what we call "swelling ' an ac cumulation of dead blood, s to sneak But dead blood cannot repaii' an injury Two things, then, are to be done: to get rid of it, and to allow the parts to grow together. But if the finger be cut, it will never heal as long as the wound is pressed apart every half hour, nor will a torn tendon grow together if it is stretched upon by the ceaseless movement of a joint; therefore, the first and indispensable step in every case of sprain, is perfect quietude of the part; a single bend of the joint will retard what nature has been hours in mending. It is in this way that persons with sprained ankles are many months in getting well. In cases of sprain, then, children who cannot be kept still should be kept in bed, and so with many grown persons. The swelling can be got rid of in sevt-ral ways; by bandage, whtoh in all cases of sprain tshonld bo applied by a skillful physician otherwise mortifica tion and loss of limb may result bandage thus applied keeps the joint still, keeps an exe-s of blood from coming t. the part, and by its pressure causes an absorption of extra blood or other extraneous matter. Anothe-r mode of getting rid of the swelling is, to let cold water run on the part injured for hours. Asiatic Doctors. The first care of the Sart physician is to study your general appearance, and to ask yon about yonr temperament. He has learned in the "Tukhpittul Mu- nimiu, the most common meuicai toos here, that vou belong to one of four classes, and his treatment of your mal ady is governed accordingly. When he has combined your symptoms with your temperament, he will pull a bag out of his "pocket, or untie the scarf which serves him lor a gmue, and open an assortment of drugs in twisted bits of paper, perhaps tasting or smelling to find the right one, and having chosen the proper medicine, will give you the usual directions about doses and diet. The medicaments employed by Central Asiatic physieians are, in general, very simple, being in most part vegetable substances, but few animal matters and minerals being used. Thev are usually taken simply in the form of powders and decoctions, and when a mixed medicine is used, the physician deliv ers the substances to the patient, and allows him to mix them for himself. This not only saves the physician trou ble, but, in a certain way, soothes the suspicious feelings of the patient, who might imagine, in case he did not im mediately improve, that he had been poisoned by the doctor. Over-Eating. If the food is wisely chosen, there is not much danger of over-eating. Dr. Beard says: It is a fallacy to suppose that people, as arule, eat too much, and that most of the dis eases of the world come from over feeding. The truth is, that among all decent or civilized people the tendency is directly the reverse. In our coun try, and especially in our large cities, far moro are under-fed than over-fed. Throughout our land thousands and thousands die every year from ac tual starvation. Some of these unfor tunates aro little children, whose pa rents are too ignorant or too poor to give them what is necessary to sustain life. But many of them are adults, whom hard poverty or sad ignorance has forced into a habit of systematic though undesigned starvation. Day after day the vital powers slowly fade, the strength grows less, the spirit be comes morbid and the face wan and dejected. Disease now steps in, attacks and carries by force some important citadel of the body, and death follows. The process is a slow one sometimes very slow extending, perhaps, over many years, but it is ofteutimes as sure as it is slow. Sugar or Milk tor Diarrhea. Dr. Talmy prescribes for the diarrhea of hot countries, from 20 to 300 grammes of sugar of milk daily. He administers it in the simplest way; thesugar dissolved in a little water or as a draft in the course of the day. Au excellent mode of administration consists in pnttiegthe dose of sugar of milk to be taken, into half a liter or two liters of milk, accord ing to the habits and the digestive ca pacities of the patient. The treatment is9pread over several months, diminish ing the dose as nutrition becomes more considerable and ea-sier. According to M. Talmy's little work (published by Coccoz, Paris), the endemic diarrhea of hot climates is the result of a f nm-tional lesion of the liver, which results in tho diminution and even the suppression of the glycogenic function of the liver. The sugar of milk may thus replace the glucose which is wanting in the blood. "GoarERs" is the reckless head-line over the deaths iu the Chicago Tim. I f r Hi -11 i J
