A Reminiscence of Kabul -1842.
(From a deceased officer's journal.)
Nov. 1. How cool and refreshing-- is-th

anxieties of the day. As I turn the leaves
of this journal each evening, it often aware me that some one else may speak the

Deo. 10. Platters seem to be drawing to
a climax. Akbar Khan hae been in con -
dant communication with Sir .William
Maonaghten and hae proposed a confer-
enoa. it is rumored that Akbar is having
difficulty with the different Birders and
wishes to oonoiliate Sir William. One
never knows how much to believe when an
Afghan speaks. •
Deo. 10. All is arranged; Akbar and Sir
William are to meet outside the city.
Akbar offers to allow the British to remain
+ - de e s :.e^ = er
(forsooth), and the "Feringhis" to subdue
the other tribes and then to evacuate the
country of their own accord. For this
precious piece of treachery he wants 40
lakhe of rupees down and 4 lekhs annually
during life.' It sickens one to deal with
euoh canaille. Sir William hae actually
ooneented and has signed a paper to that
effect. I don't feel assured as to the relsalt
of all this.

set forth on that fatal expedition. We had
arranged that two regiments should be
kept under arms with two field guns. It is
otirions that as the envoy approached the
great gate he remarked that death seemed
preferable to the anxious life he had
hitherto lived. I do not think, however,
that he had any suspicion of Akbar's
treachery. At the gate Sir William re-
membered that he had promised a oherger
to the wily Sirdar and sent me back for it,
and on rejoining them I found that the
field escort had halted, and the envoy, with
Trevor and Lswrenoe, had advanced to•
wards the fort of Mohammed, the scene of
eo much desperate fighting. At this time
-WO were about a quarter of a mile from the
bastions. Here were some hillocks, and on
these carpets were spread, the snow being
light, and Akbar, who had arrived with a
considerable retinue, sat down to converse
with poor Maonaghten. I felt a queer kind
of presentiment and it was with great re-
luctance I dismounted and sat down to talk
with ' _an old acquaintance of _mine, an
officer of the Kabul native police. Just
then I heard Akbar ask Sir William if e
were ready to carry out hie agreement of
the night preceding. Sir William replied,
not-?tt Soma- -commonplaces-fol-
lowed and Akbar commenced to handle a
pair of pistols gixen him by the Envoy.
Meanwhile Lawrence had pointed out that
rmtrery to arrangement -tete -wee -greed
being surrounded by armed men and the
Birders affected to drive them.. off, bat
Akbar shouted in Paehtn, " No matter ;
they know all." On turning round to
speak to my Kabul acquaintance I heard
Akbar yell, " Bigir-Bigir " (seize, seize),
and wheeling rapidly beheld him grasp
poor Maonaghten by the left arm, .dis-
charge rapidly both pistols into his body
and dragging him down the hillock by the
aid of, another Sirdar sabre him with a
tulwar. Trevor was cut down instantly.
Lawrence was dragged roughly past me and
had it not been for my native friend I had
not been alive to write these words. All
was over in an instant.
The Virtues of Coffee..
It is asserted by men of highprofes-
sional ability, says the Epicure, that when
the system needs a stimulant nothing
egaala a cup of fresh coffee. Those who
desire tri 'rescue a drunkard from hit cups
will find no batter substitute for spirits
than strong, new -made ooffee, without
milk or sugar. Two ounces of ooffee,, or
one-eighth of a pound, to one pint of boil-
ing water makes a first -claw beverage, bat
the water,mast be boiling, not merely hot.
Bitterness comes from boiling too long. If
the cofliee required for breakfast be pit in
a granitized kettle over night and a pint of
oold.water poured° over it,, it can be heated
to just the boiling point and theneeet bank
to prevent farther ebullition, when it will
be found that, while the strength is exa-
tracted, its delicate aroma is preserved.
As our country oonsumee nearly ten pounds
of coffee per capita, it is a pity not to have
it made in the best manner. It is asserted
by those who have tried it that; malaria
and epidemics are avoided by those . who
drink a Dnp of hot coffee beforle venturing
into the morning air. Burned on hot coals
it is a. disinfectant for a siok room. By
some of our best physicians.it is considered
a specific in typhoid fever.

HOW MILK IS MADE.
A Process Warta is of Interest to Others

(From an address by Prof. Jas. W. Robertson at
a convention of dairymen at Belleville. Ont.)
After the very amusing address to which

gems of literary value as well as scientific
what to say, because after having your
palate tickled with ewe 3t honey, I don't
think yore will relish a big draught of skim
milk. The programme says the Meeting is
to be on milk and honey. After a little
pleasantry regarding the queer ways of
bees, the speaker said : I am delighted to
have a joint meeting of the Beekeepers'
Association and the Dairymen's Associa-
tion, beoauee we have much inoommon for
the good of oar country. When in London

If the nervous system be deranged, the
the milk pertains to a Iow quality. Th
blood from whioh the milk is formed enter
the glands by two large arteries. Along
side the arteries runs a large vein an
nervous cord.
Numerous ducts rise from . the mil
cisterns at the top of the teate; they spree
through the whole straotnre of the. udder
A small portion of the blood exudes o
.peroolatee through the membrane tha
lines these ducts and beoomee milk. Be
ginning from the, bottom of the teat, there
is an opening which stays closed without
any effort on the part of the animal, there-
fore the milk does not leak. If this muscle
relaxes the milk will drop oat. At the top
of the teat there is another valve over
whioh the cow exeroiaes some control. She
oan close it and hold the milk above that
valve ; then a man may . tug all he likes
and get nothing while the cow holds np her
milk. When the cow has this valve closed
it is mainly owing to undue excitement.
When the cow is mnoh excited the lank of
nervone equilibrium will make her close
this valve and sant off the ,milk flow.
Sometimes if the cows, and the dogtry
races for home,' when the cow is beaten by
the dog she becomes excited and holds up
her milk.

FAMOUS BATHERS.
Some Feats of Swimmers Whish Are
Timely Reading. _
Fewyonng people require urging to go
into the water at this nation, bat many of
them need to be reminded that they can
bathe too often, swim "too far and stay in
the water too long. Some of them re-
turned from the eeashore last summer half
siok, and were not in their usual health
until after Chrietmas. Too mnoh bathing
roause, says tihoYouth's Companion.
The oetebeated tie/limning feats of which
we read were mostly performed in southern
water. Last summer the Queen of Spain
walked down to the beach of the Bay of St.
Sebastian, accompanied by one of her
ladies and four Omit bathing - men, and -
swam outto a man-of-war lying at anchor
half a mile away.
The lady who accompanied her soon
gave up and was taken on board one of the
small boats that went with the party.' The
Queen, however, being one of the best
female swimmers in Europe. ao
ee-
quarters of an hour. Bat the water was
of semi-tropiosl warmth. Off Mount
Desert, on the ceast of Maine, she might
have failed.
Probably- as she is a woman of- sense'
and knowledge, she would not have at-
tempted a swim of forty-five minutes in
the cold water of Bar Harbor.
Byron swam the Hellespont in an hour
and ten minutes after having once tried
and failed. The distance, as ne told hie
mother, was not more than a mile in a
straight line, but to accomplish that mile
in such a tide he had to swim two or three
milts.
Compared with the performance of some
of oar swimmers of to.dey it woe not
extraordinary, and is was done in rather
warm water, in the month of May, whioh
is one of the hot months in that part of the
world.
Dr. Franklin, who was, perhaps, the best
American swimmer of his time, lived so
near the warm and tranquil Delaware at
Philadelphia that his garden extended quite
down to-tha shore. _We mgrs beth this in.
mind when we read of hie remaining in the
water " two hours" and "an hour or two,"
and when he recommends " much swim-
ming" es _.en excellent . and almost _sure -
remedy for the must common of summer
maladies. '
He evidently had the river' Delaware in
hie mind when he set ke of "xivare_eh
ave been thoroughly warmed by the sun."
In July, as Philadelphia boys know, the
Delaware along its banks is very warm.
Dr. Franklin would doubtless have
greatly modified his remarks upon bathing
if he had been in the habit of going into
the cold water that washes all parts of the
Now England coast north of Cape Cod.
He doas, indeed, caution one of his cor-
respondents to avoid plunging into cold
spring water, and mentions an instance of
four young men who did so when they were
heated _by harvesting. Two died upon
the spot, another the next morning and
the fourth recovered with great difficulty.
Many observant parents who live or
spend their summers on the Northern sea-
coast have Dome to the oonolusion that it is
better 'for most young people to bathe not
oftener than every other day and no longer
at a time than twenty minutes.

Don't Sign.
Don't sign any paper for anyone except
those with whom yon are acquainted and
know to be honest. A new swindle is be-
ing carried on in Connecticut by means of
a double fountain pen, one end of whioh is
filled with good sgbstential ink, the other
with ink that fades away in a day or two.
The sharper writes hie agreement, contract
or whatever particular lay he may have
chosen, with the ink that fades, and his
victim signs with the other end of the, pen
in the ink that lasts. In a few days he
has a elip of paper with nothing on it but
