But withal every precaution should be taken to maintain the entire skin in a cleanly and wholesome state. Cotton, or linen, not woollen, undergarments should always be worn next the skin. In a patch of true eczema you find little orifiees, the mouths of the sudo- riperous duct-glands, which "weep"-- i.e., exude a tiny drop of fluid. The latter congeals, and forms a crust or seats. There is always itching, and discomfort, even when the patches are not actually inflamed, as they may be. Genuine'eczcma is one of the com- monest of skin diseases; and in most cases is due to bad habits with neglect of healthy cleanliness. You stop up the pores of the skin-either by accu- mulated dirt or by wearing woolly under-garments saturated with per- spiration; and nature duly punishes you for the sin against her just laws. An Industrious Constable, For all that you did in your brilliant past We thank you, but mourn that, misled at last, You sullied the fame of your noble state, And shadowed your soul with the curse of hate. Base, tselfish ambition has made you blind, Has narrowed your vision and warped your mind We hope you will learn, when the strife is o'er, That all war is evil, and fight no more; That hate is a monster, whose fatal breath Bears ever a message of gloom and death; That love is the highest power man can know To start the divine in his life to Brow.

Cherries, plums, and peaches are very liable to rot badly if packed damp and then shipped by express. The heat of the ear and the moisture soon work havoc, the rot spreading rapidly through the baskets.
