Nettle Bush and Its Peculiar Character- Consorvntion of Strengthâ€"A Lot of Energy Wasted Through Lack of In- tolllgence. To PREVENT Tvrnom annn. -â€" Of all diseases that can be worded ofl, none is more easily kept at bay than typhoid fo- vcr. It owes its origin to a bacillus. The bacilli easily find entrance to the intestinal ' canal, because food and drink take them in. None of us can live witohut nourish- ment, which must be procured in the most natural of ways, by eating ; so we could not cease to eat and drink in order to escape a fever. The baccillus of typhoid fever lives along time in water, even in ice. Milk is very frequently the means of carrying the disease, even when the milk itself is originally pure. It is transported from the country to the consumers, in cans which have been washed with impure water. Milk cans are never “wiped” as dishes are, and there is sure to be a. little water left in the can. This little is enough to infect many quarts of milk and to carry sickness and death into many homes. Babies and young children are by far the largest par- takers of fluid stuffs. Water, as a diluent, plays an important part in their dietary. Typlius fever is quite as liable to attack the young as those of older and larger growth. For this reason not only to children. no one is so ones to drink. If there is a. case of typhoid fever in the house, the discharges from the bowels should not be throwu into the closet until they have first been disinfected. If one is unable to procure a disinfectant, let her pour boiling water into the vessel contain- ing the stools, and, after the water has be- come cold, empty the vessel. The stools are full of the bacilli, and if they are not destroyed, then, when the faecal matter has become dry (as it does if thrown out on the ground) it may be carried far away; and its minutest particles contain bacilli. Such dust may settle anywhere and be the means of carrying the disease to those susceptible to it. Those most likely to catch the fever are the over-worked and run dowu: especial- ly those exhausted by diarrhoea or those convalescing from any disease which has made severe inroads upon the strength. Those subjected to mental strainare an easy prey to this most dreaded and devastating form of fever. *** NET’I‘LE RAsn.-â€"-Urticaria or nettle rash is a somewhat common ailment. It is characterized by the sudden appearance of rounded or linear elevations of the skin, which are termed wheals. They are of varying length and figure. Their color is generally white, contrasting with a crimson ground. A singular fact about them is that, ordinarily, they disappear as sudden- ly as they come, and leave no trace behind. However, they are apt to reappear in other parts of the body, especially at night, and greatly to interfere with sleep, as they are attended With burning and itching. This tendency to reappear may continue for several days. Some cases assume a. chronic form, and may last for months and even years. The disease seems to be due to a peculiar disturbance of the nervous system. The irritant may be some troublesome article of diet, such as shellfish, or certain drugs, or a general dyspeptic condition, or some ailment like eczema or scabies that gives rise to scratching ; the stings and bites of geney of early death, provides an INCOMEI insects, or the stinging hairs of plants. Sir Erasmus \Vilson says of some cases : “The nervous sensibility of the skin is so acute that wiheals may be produced by the slightest touch, and written characters may be developed at will by the mere act of tracing their outline on the skin with the I point of a. pencil.” The symptoms may vary in intensity, but though in all forms the disease is troublesome, it is rarely dangerous. It is readily dis- tinguished from other diseases, somewhat resembling it, by the sudden disappearance of the wheals, and by the fact that similar Persons desiring to place their property , it. the market can have it advertised free I of charge and will be sold or exchanged by I us at a smallcommission, I __ I KNOWLSON BROS.

' wlieals may be caused by rubbing the finger briskly over the skin. Urticaria, whether chronic or acute, re- quires a. careful search for the source of the irritation, for the treatment must depend largely upon this. In severe cases help may be obtained from the hot bath or flannels wrung out in hot water, but there are other remedies which the doctor can best pre- scribe. â€"Youth’s Companion. 5033* Avon) WASTE on Manamaâ€"This is the season when most men and women find themselves possessed of a new capital of strength and zeal.

I -â€"â€"â€"-â€"-â€" I Be Admits that We Surpass Him in Ap- pliances for Fighting Fire. There is much to be learned from America. by all of us and it is to be regretted that one of the crack brigades of the States could not have crossed the ocean to attend the present F iremen’s Congress. We may find I one more opportunity for the lesson if the Committee of the Chicago Exhibition think fit to invite the firemen of Europe to the I coming World’s Fair. The Americans like to think that they take the load in this branch of public work ; and by all no- 3 progress is possible; these only are able to keep up the supply of variations, and no hol their own amid the competition of it by over adopting themselves to the contin- ually changing conditions of the riva. in which they are always engaged. Al the examples we have been considering are merely lapses towards an earlier and simpler form of reproduction which the winning species have long ago abandoned under stress of circumstances, the lapses themselves becoming rarer and rarer, ands oon ceasing altogether as we rise in the scale of life.â€" Longman’s Magazine. I I POISONOUS PLANTS. I l They are Very Rare in Canada and Can be Readily Detected . A subject of great interest to oer} body and one which is frequently made an excuse by ill-informed people for not studying.r wild plants, is the fear of being poisoned. Strangely enough this fear never troubles them with regard to cultivated and green- house plants, where a much larger propor- tion of poisonous species is to be found than is the casein the wocds around us. As a matter of fact poisonous plants in Canada are exceedingly rare. The Poison Ivy is the only plant in this part of Canada, which is poisonous to the touch, and even with re- gard to this, although it- is so virulent in the southern states, it is, as you all know, an extremely rare thing to find anyone affected by it here. There are. also, for fewer plants than most people think they are actually poisonous, even when takeninternally ; and anyone with a. very small amount of knowledge and common sense is warned against these b their acid taste or nauseous odor. This, have no doubt, is the reason why cattle and .wild animals which feed on vegetation are so seldom poisoned. The poisonous plants are distasteful to them and are not eaten in any quantity when their dangerous nature has been detected by the keen senses of taste or smell. For this reason I can make no excuse for people, who are old enough to think, who allow themselves to be poison- counts of them they would still be very hard to boat. Most of our newer contrivances are probably of American I I quite agree With my friend Professor origin.

Other engines soon arrived, and by 6.35, or in less than half an hour, not a. spark of fire was left in the building. The water-towers, which are huge perpendicular pipes, car- ried on a moveoblc derrick, pour the stream into the highest buildings at any elevation required. They are packed into a. com aratively small space when not in use, ut are instantly reared to their full height by the force of carbonic acid gas. The floating fire-engines are largely used in New York, as the city is surrounded by water. The latest is built of steel, and it travels at a very great speed. lts four pipes are from three to four inches in diameter; but the ower of all the pumps may be concentrated) into one or two pipes, which yield a. still larger vol- ume of water. These five-inch streams, in their tremendous force, act like battering- i'ams and drive their way through ceilings and roofs, and even through brick walls, into the very heart of the fire. In some instances the life lines are fired from a grin, on much the same principle as that in use for the rocket apparatus at sea. The gun carries a. thin line to the firemen at the top of the burning building, and with this they draw up the stouter rope they require. The life nets, which are equally light and strong, into which persons jump highest floors, save many lives. The best of these contrivances have been introduced in our own fire service, in great part owing Show. He was able farewell address that durin the thirty, years of his control of the ifetropolitan: Brigade, the number of stations had" been raised from thirteen to fifty-nine, and 3 the number of firemen from not muchI more than one hundred to a. little over seven.

The uinbelliferous I plants, which grow in wet places, have I usually a nauseous smell; such plants are I poisonous, as the water hemlock.

Amongst plants which are seldiiim I poisonous are the compound flowers, as the Dandelion and Boneset ; such as have labi- I ate corollas, with seeds lying naked in the I calyx, are seldom or never poisonous, the I mint and thyme are examples of such ‘ plants.” Plants containing mucilaginous matter are, as a rule Wholesome, and in British Co- lumbia the Indians eat almost any bulbous root, making regular annual trips to dis- tricts where certain lilaceous plants abound. Amongst those roots which they collect in this way are the camass, lilies, and nearly all bulbous-rootedplants, which they desig- nate by the general name of muck-a-muck. Another article of food to which they are very partial is the inner bark of young pine trees. was still calling for more of everything. Yet it will be some time before the rate- payer will enable him to realize his ideal of I thirty-two new stations at an average cost I of a thousand a year each.

Only a small number I of the pipes were constantly charged, and there were often more engines at a fire than I there was water for their use.â€"â€"London I News. Tendency Toward Variations. It is generally known nowadays that the I whole fabric of Darwinism is built onaI single factaiiamcly, that there bxist be-I tween all the individuals of a species slight variations, no two individuals being ever exactly alike in all respects. The story of evolution is simply the story of natural selection building up in the course of long ages the small variations in certain direc-I tions, and so slowly developing the moreI advantageous types. These variations arel therefore all-important. N ot only can there be no progress without them, but it is with their aid alone that a. species is enabled to hold its own in the competition of life by continually adapting itself to sur- rounding conditions which are always chaiigiv'r. iluii i.;".‘.' comes the question. W'here do the variations come from; why do they arise? After a. lifetime of research Dr. Weisman has come to put forward a. strik- lug explanation of their origin and cause. lneir production is, he says, the purpose which nature is seeking to effect in the quL‘AlCd of reproduction which we find to be in: universal rule among all the higher forms of life.

In one section a. watery and acrid matter is present: in a. second a milky gum-resinous secretion: and in a. third, an aromatic and oily one. When the first of these predominates, they are poisonous; the second in excess converts them into stimuleiits; and the third renders them carminative and serviceable as pleasant coudiiuents. If both the acrid and gum-resinous secretions be absent they are loften useful articles of food. as happens with the sweet roots of the carrot and the parsnip, and the foilage of the sampliire, fennel, chervil, parsley and celery,”â€"James Fletcher, Experimental Farm.
