Cows and Consumption- There can be um doubt that the use of the flesh of cows and of unsterilized cows’ , milk is one of the most widély active causes of consumption, 'and one which has been very aptly designated “ the great white plague of civilization.” The fact has been known to the medical profession for many years, and yet no very radical measures have been taken with reference to the sup- pression of this cause of disease, which is accountable annually for many times more deaths tho.“ cholera. or any other of the epi- ~demlc diseases. Beefsteak is consumed in greiter quan- tities than ever, vowing to its present cheap- iiess, and cows’ mill; is swallowed at all times and at all places without the slightest inquiry into its antecedents, and without the slightest inquiry into its antecedents, and without the application of any means for growth in the world. The skin protects the fruit from the action of these germs- until the skin is bruised or broken or injur. ed in the slightest degree, the microbes get inside, and tiien the mischief begins. It is exactly thersaine as with the flesh of a human being ; a little sliver will get under the skin, under the finger nail, and soon we will have an abrasion, a sore, and pus, and we will wonder that such a. little thing could cause such asore ; the reason is that germs havefouiid their way through that abra- sion;pus-makin'zgermsarealwaystobefound just under the edge of the finger-nail, and when the sliver is thrust in there, it is equivalent to an inoculation of pus, for when the germs are carried in there, suppuration begins very quickly ; whereas other portions ofs the body which are thoroughly cleansed would not be so liable to the action of germs.

Dr. E. F. Brush calls the cow “ the wet nurse in“) the 39811. of consumption,” and makes the following interesting observation concerning the rela- tion of cows to this dread disease : ~â€" “Scrofulous females in the human race usually secrete an abundance of milk, be- cause in sci-ofula there is an unusual ten- dency to glandular enlargement and ac- tivity. As the mammary is the highest type of glandular structure,it is stimulated 1),. to increased action. A scrofulous cow is usually the largest milker, a. scrofulous animal, not because she is scrofulous, but because the particular form she represents are the largest yielders of milk. We find, too, that consanguinqu breeding has been allegelas one of the causes of tuberculosis in the human race, where it never can be conducted with so close and intimate blood relatives as in the dairy animals. “The absence of phthisis in high, dry, mountainous regions has been accounted for by reason of the altitude and absence of ' moisture in the atmosphere but here occurs a somewhat curious fact; namely, that the cow does not thrive in high, dry, mountain- ous districts, but in the low, swampy,moist region, where the succulent and bush grasses grow, is the place where the cow flourishes, and it is in these regions also that tuberculosis abounds in both the bov- ine and human subjects.

Boussingault has made a fresh loaf of and the subject of minute investigation and the results are interesting. New bread, in its smallest parts, is so soft, clammy, flexible, and glutinous, that by mastication it is with great difficulty separated and re- duced to smaller 'parts, and is less under the influence of the saliva and gastric juices. It consequently forms itself into hard balls by careless and hasty mastication and de- glutition, becomes coated over with saliva and slime, and in this state enters the stomach. The gastric juice being unable to penetrate such hard masses, and being scarcely able even to act upon the surface of them, they frequently remain in the stomach unchanged, and, like foreign bodies, irritate and incommode it, inducing every species of suflering,â€"opprcssion of the stomach, pain in the chest, disturbed circulation of the blood,cougestion and pain in the head, irritation of'the brain, and in- , flainmation, apoplcctic attacks, cramp, an'l delirium. To Prevent Taking: Gold- . One of the very best means to prevent taking cold is to make yourself proof against colds. If a person is frequently taking cold, there is doubtless great sus- ceptibility to changes of temperature. Dr. Brown-Sequard says: 3“If you are apt to should have as perfect knowledge of the take cold by getting your feet wet, then kitchen and the proper methods of food: preparation as of drug-stores and the methods of compounding medical agents. Of the two, the knowledge of dietetics and cookery, would, in the writer’s opinion, be found much more valuable than the knowl- edge of drugs. Both kinds of information .are important, but a thorough knowledge ' hour. of food stuffs and their relation to the iing on your neck, get some one to blow on needs of the body must be of inestimably greater value to the physician, than the in- formation gained by the most thorough study of pharmacy and inateria medica. antemic conditions without considering that blood cannot be made of iron, but in ust be made, if at all, from the food. Strychnia is almost universally administered as a remedy for weak nerves, the fact that nerves cannot be made of strychuia being ignored. Weak nerves can be improved by proper nourishment only. ishmeut lies the only remedy obtainable for nearly all chronic maladies. Hence the importance that the physician should be thoroughly posted on the subject of materia alimentaria. If a good cooking: school and experimental kitchen could be connected with every medical college and every student be required to take a thorough course of instruction bath in practical and theoretical cookery, and dietetics, a revolution in the methods of treating disease would quickly follow. .

Should the Skins ofTruits be Eaten ? If the skins of fruits are to be eaten, they should be first purged of germs.

W” V: «~55: _.., . ‘ “A â€"â€"~ " 1 l THE GREATEST RUSSIAN. Next to the Czar Stands Father John. - The recent celebrations in Russiaâ€"one the centennial anniversary of the storming and capture of the Turkish fortress 'of Ismail on the Danube under Souvarofi', and the other the thirty-sixth anniverary of the entry into the Orthodox ministry of Father John Sergeyefl', one of the most remarkable and popular men in the Russian empire, attracted the world- wide attention. No comments are needed to explain the patriotâ€" ic outpourings of the Russians over the his- toric siege and savage reduction of Ismail, but of the celebration in honour of Father John of Cronstadt there is much to ‘relate that is strange and interesting. Father lvan,‘ or John, of Cronstadt, known and revered in every nook and cor- ner of Russia, has hitherto been almost en- tirely unknown to British readers ; but a circumstance recently reported by the British chaplain at Cronsladt seems to indicate that the Christian influence of this remarkable priestof the Russian Church has at last found its way even into the United Kingdom. A short time ago a let- ter reached the British clergyman at Cron- stadt addressed in English to the parish priest of that port. It came from a corre- spondent in county Kerry, and earnestly begged for the prayers of Father John on behalf of the writer, who appeared to be in great distress of mind and body. This is a curious proof of the influence and reputation of this wonderful man, who, in the midst of his Russian surroundings, seems to approach as nearly as any one per- haps could approach in these days to the first apostles. His extraordinary healing powersâ€"for he is a medical man as well as a priestâ€"and the spiritual and bodily cures effected by the faithful acceptance of his earnest consolations, are attested on all sides by many sorts and conditions of men. To those who believe in Father Johnâ€"and their name is legionâ€"the age of miracles is not yet over. Crowds press round him whenever he leaves his humble abode, and are happy if they can only touch the hem of his modest garb. Father John’s life is one of uninterrupted and self-sacrificv ing charity and Christian ministration among the poor, the sick, and needy, not, however, refusing his presence and prayers to the well-to-do and rich, who send for him when all other help fails, and never in vain, from all parts ofthe country. He has no vast business organization of. charity and no coryban'tic Christianity like “General "’ Booth, and no religious politics like Arch- bishop Nicanor of Odessa. Although enor- mous sums of money have passed through his hands to the Russian poor in all direc- tions, he is still a poor man, living in the humblest possible way. Stea‘mboats and trains in which he journeys to and fro on his truly Christian work are besieged with such crowds that the police have to protect him from their pressure. The report of his appearance in any house in St. Pctersburgâ€"«and the news spreads like wildfireâ€"brings throngs of poor people running madly from the surrounding streets to get within the range of his healing pres- ence, to receive his blessing, or to implore his attendance at the sick bed of relatives or friends. He advocates no impracticable Christian theories; his life is one entirely of good works, and his influence for good among the Russian masses, who have not yet reach- ed the statc of ‘cynical unbelief of the lower orders in other countries, is greater, per- hapsa, than any other Russian under the Czar. The festival in his honour at Cronstadt, an island most difficult and inconvenient of access in winter, was attended by great crowds of people, rich and poor, who made their way accross the ice of the gulf to the isolated port. from St. Petersburg and other places. Thirty priests officiated at the church service on the occasion, and deputa- tions from various benevolent and other societies, including even the beggars, pre- sented the reverend father with gifts of silver-bound Bibles and holy pictures. The most touching sight of all was the gift of a small bunch of flowers by a poor sickly woman with a child in her arms. An eyewit ness states that the crowd and Father John were moved to tears.

Its brief career Within human ken ,may be compared to that of a eomet travelling in a parabolic orbit, which, as if yielding to a headlong curiosity, almost plunges into the sun and then hastens away again never to return. In July 1892, one of these escaping meteors was seen in Austria and Italy. Careful computations based upon the obser- vations which were made in various places have shown that it was visible along a track, in the upper air, about six hundred and eighty miles in length. \Vhen at its nearest point to the earth it was elevated forty-two miles above the surface. From this point it receded from the earth, its elevation when last seen being no less than ninety-eight miles. Although the resistance of the atmos- phere was not sufficient to destroy the mo- ti‘on of this strange visitor, which contented itself with so brief 9. glimpse of our globe, yet it carried the effects of that resistance out into space with it, and can never shake them off. ' No matter What its previous course may have been, the retardation that it suffered during its passage through the air sufficed to turn it into a different direction, and to send it along another path than that which it had been following. ~â€".

Hugh Child- ers, who was Secretary of State for War in 1880â€"83, has entered the controversy regarding the Duke of Cocnaught and the Egyptian campaign. It was charged that a telegram was sent to Gen. \Volseley, the commander of the British forces in Egypt, ordering him to place the Duke of Con- naughtiu a place of safety during the bat‘ tle of Tel-el-Kebir. It was also charged that, in compliance with theseinstructions, the Duke, who was on the right of the line with the Guards Brigade, was, with his troops, ordered to the rear and out of dan- ger. The story had its origin in The Man- chester Guardian. Mr. Childers has written a. letter to that, paper emphatically denying that any instructions or suggestions were despatched to Egypt relative to the Duke of Connaught. He enclosesaletter received by him from Gen. Wolseley declaring that the story is absolutely untrue. Gen. \Vol- seley adds : ’ “ Nobody ever suggested that I, in any way, dealt with his Royal Highness differ- ently than with the other general officers commanding brigades; nor did I do so. He took his chance like everyone else, and, as I reported to you at the time, I had no better brigade under my command. I am glad of the opportunity of emphatically denying the absurd story, which is a? ungenerous as ,i't‘is untrue.” HERBERT SPENCER. Au Unforined Report as to the Distin- guished Gcnileiiian‘s Health.

When the police arrived the miners had armed themselves with wheel spikes, poles, stones and pieces of broken machinery. The police charged clubbing the men right and left. The mob surrounded them and stoned and beat them, and finally drove them back, carrying with them three wounded. The police charged twice more before the strikers would yield. They caught 10 of the men most couspicious in leading the mob and locked them up at St. Helen’s.
