Henry Dwight Chapin, M.D.,. attending
,physioiant3 theout-door department at
Bellevue Hospital, in an article on summer
diseases in the Medical Record for July
26th, presents the following dtetietios
I have prepared the following table from
statistics derived Proal theBoard of Health.
It consists of a comparison of the death
rates from diarrficeel diseases in New York
between two winter months and two sum-
mer months, together with the mean
temperature of' each month. Under,
diarncceal diseases are included simple
diarrhoea, dysentery, entero.00litie, cholera
infantuw, cholera motivate, Asiatic cholera,
diarrhoeal gastro-enteritis and diarrhoeal
enteritis : -

Deaths over 6 ye.... 14 16 195 116
' A glance at this table will show the
tremendous increase in the death rate
under the age of five .years in comparison
with that occurring above that age, the
• difference in winter being about double,
•while in enamor it is vastly higher than
that proportion. It also shows that the
month having the highest •mean tempera-
ture,July, has much 'the highest. death
rate in chit:Iren'under five years ;,white in.
oases above five yearn of"age:there is no
appreciable difference • between July and
August. In 1882 and 1883 there was an
increase of the mean temperature of July
over August •of from 2 37 0 to4.06-9 Fahr,-
-The--diferenoe in beat represented by
these few degrees doubled the death rate
in children under five years.: As tenelnen
houses and streets are no cleaner in August
than in July, and as there is quite sug&.
oientheat and moisture . during,Auguet to
cause free fermentation in any filth, itis
evident that the increased infantile
mortality during . "July is due to ' a
alight increase •- in the heat, a8 the
other elements causing 4 it ` are about
the same. .It is an Impressive com-
mentary on the inability of infante to
stand a high temparature welt that in 1882
an increase . of 20 in temperature was
-sufficient to raise the death rate by just
716 young children in one month.' It is
also seen by referring to .the table that the
mean temperature of July, 1882, was 1.33 0
higher than .in July, 1883, and Ahem Were
178 more deaths in.ohildren tinder five
years in the former month. I think that:
,sufficient 'Musa has 'not been devoted to
the injurious effects of heat itself upon
young children by writers 'on this sub-
ject, and that • relatively too preponderat-
ing an influence has been given to impure
air. The disastrous effects are due to such
an intimate combination _of these' two
agents that it is somewhat dieioult to esti.
mate their separate influences.: But while
it is easy" to understand the injurious
effects of breathing a foul atmosphere, and
its depreoiatieg consequences are..con-
stantly seen, yet the system; in a sense,
gets accustomed to impurity, and throws it
off more or less readily. Young ;children
live for months shut up in filthy apart -
moots without dying, and even seeming to
enjoy tolerable health.
'tapering on a Duck.
A Manitoba paper tells of an ingenious
method of securing a stook of hens
.practised by i bachelor who lives in a
seoluded corner of the hills, 'distant : from
neighbors. Discovering the nest of a wild
duck near hie shanty he removed the egge
and placed an equal numberot hen's eggs
in the nest. In due time the wild duck
found that ebe was the bewildered mother
of a flock of chickens ; she did notknow
wheet they were. Their bills were not
yight, their feet were all wrong, and they
were of every color ; they could not swim
and could not "understand. A , more
astonished wild duck was not to be found in
.ail Manitoba. 'The, bachelor placed hie
miabeguttenohiokeies in a' basket and tour
care of them, while the old duok returned
to a neighboring -pond feeling that shehad
in some way been shamefully imposed upon

Killing Canada T6htter.
" We had a field," writes a Pennsylvania.
farmer, " with millions of Canada thistles
m it ; • they bad taken complete possession
of the land to the prolusion of all vegetable
life. We conquered them _root and branch,
with hoe and cultivator, in one summer,
and raised a good Drop of corn besides.
We kept the cultivator and double -horse
hoe moving, and hand -hoed the piece four
.tiinea; it paid. We raised from 50 to 60
bushels of oats on that same piece of
ground last summer, and there were no
thistles. It was a pleasure to work there,
knowing what it onee contained. We
could doubtless have killed them
with a summer fallow -many do this; but
then we ehouldbave lost the use of the land

• Dead Leat Luanne*.
The report of the Conneotiout Experiment
Station gives the following directions for
oomposting dead leaves, in answer to au
inquiry for the treatment with lime of a
mass of leaves which had drifted for 25
years behind a wall. The answer directs
the use of fresh slaked lime, one bushel to
every fifteen of twenty of the leaves and
dark loam lying beneath them. One bushel'
of lime is recommended for ten of swamp
muck. Twenty bushels of the leaves and
muck are to be first spread three inches
deep, then a bushel of lime warm from the
slaking sprinkled over this layer. Then
this process is to be repeated till the heap
is several feet high. The heap may remain
through the summer, and be mixed by out -
ting down. and shoveling over. If a bushel
of salt, to six bushels of lime, be dissolved
in water, and the brine used neelake the
lime, the action *ill be more rapid, and a
few weeks be long 'enough to sot up a de-
composition, when the heap may be over:
hauled, and will be ready to use in a few.
weeks more. Instead of salt, muriate of
potash will answer, and will supply indis-
peneable• potash to the °rope. It is on
account or the formation -of soda and car-
bonate of soda from the lime and salt
mixture that this mixture exerts a more
powerful decomposing action than lime
alone. :When salt. is cheap and wood

derivation 01 the name of the village of,
Grand Pre. The name "Cote de Beaupre,"
or " the ;beautiful meadowy side- of
the river," aptly desoribes the
slope :of the oountry between the St. Law-
rence and the hills beyond, and marks the
contrast existing between • it^ and the
character of the land at the opposite side, of
the mouth of the St. Charles, the site of the
rook -girt city of Quebec. Twenty miles or
BO of a pleasant :drive along the Cote de
Beaupre brings the tourists to St. Anne de

language of affection;'1La Bonne•St. Anne."
Pilgrims generally go from Quebec b
steamer, but sometimes on foot. On 'Sun-
days
' the pilgrims visiting St. Anne's
frequently fill five, or six steam boats. Two
boats make daily trips t0 the shrine, and
frequently there are others from different
points on the river. It is usual' for almost
every' . Roman Catholic congregation and
religious society in the Province of Quebec
to make its annual pilgrimage to St: Anne's.
. Then • there are frequently pilgrimages
from Ottawa and other parts of Ontario,

In the Dublin Zoologioal Gardens a fine
lioness has eaten her own tail. One day
she removed 12 inches of ,this appendage,
and after an interval renewed her repast
and swallowed more. Efforts weremade
to heal the bleeding stump, but the lioness
continued eating' the tail, which bas entirely
disappeared, and she has now commenced
to eat one of her fore paws -
or good will, and scarcely a day, certainly
not a. week, passes without reports of fur-
ther manifestationsof her power. The
miraoles. are invariably wrought in the
church, and generally during the venera-
tion of the saint's relics, or while the sub•
jeot of the cure is ..engaged in prayer or in
receiving communion. The existing church
is of modern date, and. is erected on the
site of that whioh.was built two and a quar-
ter centuries ago. Neither in exterior nor
interior does it differ much from the average
Canadian parish church. • The most
striking object , inside is the pyramid of
crutches, over twenty feet in height, left

and the halt who havebeen oured,' or
fancied themselves to have been eured, of
their infirmities. These ourious memen-
toes are of every size and style, The

The fact that young. Vincent has

A Crank on Loyalty to Native Land.
Our esteemed -crank friend says : " Do
you ever read poetry ? • Did you ever read
that piece in which this rune -
Breathes there a man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land
Well, now, there does breathe such a man.
I'm the man. I don't cure a Dent about my
native land,' and if there were no human
lives involved I would not give one dime to
prevent it being sunk under the sea and
wiped off the fade of the earth. The land
for me is the land ware I can earn the best
living with the greatest degree of comfort to
myself. I had nothing -to do with selecting
my native land, and it possesses no more
interest for me than do the clothes I
have worn out or the r;orns I out off my
feet. I never : hear a man blowingaboub

on my hind legs and asking him why, if he
thinks so much of it, he ever left it, and
why; he does not go. baok. The land I live

depressing to find a soul so utterly devoid
of poetry. -London Advertiset.
The Sea Serpent.
The captain and crew of the steamer Silks -
worth, now in Montreal, assert that they
saw the sea serpent off the Gaspe ooasb on
the voyage up. Tire monster rose Inc-
quently thirty feet out of • the water and
swelled out tremendouely every ,tteme. At
the water line it was aboub four feet in
diameter ; its head was that of a conger
eel ; mouth that of a shark body . striped
like a mackerel ; fins simply immense, and
voice a horrible yell. There is no doubt
that the captain, who is fullyoorroborated
by the orew and passengers, believes his
story, whioh.is regularly entered in the
ship's log. Sceptics can objeot to nothing
except that the monster was seen at half a
mile distance by moonlight, which may
have exaggerated his size.'. not his awful
bellow.

Fashion In ,Bart Africa.
In East Afrioa nearly every woman wears
the pelele. When she is a little girl a email
hole is pierced through the middle of her
upper lip, and into this is pressed a email:
wooden pin to prevent the puncture from
oloeing up. After a time this is changed
for a larger pin, and so; on till the hole is
big enough to admit a ring. In proportion:
as the pelele is made gradually larger, so
the lip enlarges also and comes to look like
a snout. Anaverage specimen measures
1 inohea in diameter and almost an inch:
in length. When she becomes a widow
fashion compels her to take out her pellle,
the Hp falls, and the great round hole,
called luperele, shows the teeth and jaw
quite plainly, making her hideous.
