Cases, however, that ensue Af ter measles and scarlatina are more likely to run a protracted course, and being always associated with pharyngitis (sore throat), are sometimes difficult to treat, and the re- sults are not as certain or as speedy. But though the heirs ef scrofulous parentage are part iculerly liable to this form of inflamma- tion in all its stages, it has yet to be proved that there is any direct conneetien between rhinitis, or pharyngitis even, and tuber- cuicsis of the 'wigs.

The New Seizures ef X)aoino Islands. 1(1 Min the past few days we have heard mane ieteresting nem concerning the doings irt Pacific waters of the great powers that may be worth eeizing. A week ago it was annonuced that elermany had approprieted the Gilbert group, many of whose little ielande, etremgely enough, figure in the greatest of German atlases as the property of the United States. Dents -Nees thie is because some of their yeesele did a thriving businese there until they had exhausted the eioh guano deposit. Then came the news that Great Britain at last has formally prooleimed the sovereignty of Queen Vietorte, over KM square miles of southeant New Guinea, thus confessing the stratdgetical blunder she committed nearly four years ago, when ebe refused the - petition of geeenslene to annex not only this pert of the great bland, but also. the fer more promising region ou the northease coast, with its splendid harbors and large rivers, whieh Germany napped up with avidity while Great B titian was hesitating. The information this week that the Eng- lish Consul at R ‘ratonge has been instruct- ed to proclaim a British protectorate over the gook or Hervey group 15 indeed surpris- ing news. Rumors have been frequent that France inteuded to take these islandunder her proteotion. Their relations wich, the outside world have been almost wholln with the French Society Islands and although the entire group has only 490 square miles, it lies directly an the route to Australia by way of the expectedPanama Canal. Besides beim, valuable as a naval station, the group would nicely round off the possessions of Frenoe in then waters, which now half sur- ronnd it. Eogland has no possessions he this part of the Pacific nearer than Fanning and Peurhyn Islanda, about 900 utiles away, which she annexed last spring. On Tuesday of this week the propoeed an- nexation of Savage Ieland, just wet of the Hervey group, was annonuced by Great Britain. This indicates the purpose of that Government to enter into competition with, Franoe for the islands of tlse southeastern Pacific, where England has never before shown any ambition to acquire lands, awe where she has been wholly unrepresented eave by the famous little rock of Pitcairn. The commercial value of these islands and others still unappropriated cannot be very great, for, though they may be fertile, their area is insignificant. As naval ead coaling stations, however, and as connecting tinkle along the new routes of travel which the projected interoceanio canala will develop, some are of considerable importanoe.

Governor Lumpkin, formerly Chief Justice of Georgia, was such an inveterate enorer that he could, es Shakespeare says, "snore upon the flint." The following story is told of his Excellency's extraordinary snoring feat, while holding court in a Georgia town. The landlord put him in aroom on the ground floor of the hotel, the doors and windows of which opened on the street. Judge Lutnpkin, when sound asleep, could e waken the natives with his loud breathing. About midnight, when everything was quiet, the judge commermed puffiing, blowing and snorting in his sleep. Out On the street was a little piney woods bull, which was "monarch of all he survey- ed." Be heard the snoring of 3 lenge Lump. kin, and he must have imegincal thet it was nne of his :heels from a eeiglthoring planta- tion, The litIle tult threw a few bushels of dirt over his beck, and prepared for battle. He bellowed cn m or twice to notify his adver- sary that he was on his ground, but it did not distnrb the judge in the loat. Tho snoring went on without interminion. This exasperated the little bull, end curl- ing his tell over his back, he made a rush for the window, went through it, and carried everything before him. The sudden entrance of the bull bath the room awakened the judge, and, taking in the situation he left with the bull in full pos. session of the room.

Antecedene to11-his was the throwiug of a ;stone with the arm, but the sling mey be given au the first step towards the choke -bared, hammerlees, patent auto- matic safety and generally perfect guns of the present day. Next io order eame the javelin, a sharp -pointed instrument propel. led from the hand. Then a junctionof the sling and javelier produced the bow and arrow, which formed the mot effective weapon known up tohat time. A's' my eteleject is to be speetin guns tide wills be • ective Ise the poetioal and other effusions handed down through suoceseive ages the bow forms a leading feature of the ohroniole of feats of armee Homer in his Hied tells of ./Eneae, who, noticing the havoc, made in the Trojan. vaults by Diomedes, seeks Falderal, the amber, and with one of the marvellous shots which in this age eeem incredible, put an end to the mighty deeds of his opponent. The hem remained unimproved tEl the Nor- man oonquest, and up to that time the im- plement was used more for sporting purposes than in warfare. The long bow was a weap- on with which wonderful work was done, and splitting a willow wand at 40 paces was a feat ascribed to the famous Robert Fit- zerst, better known as Rabin Hood. who figures as the Yeoman Locksley in Scott's tales of the games promote dby Prim) eJohn ire "Ivanhoe." Lo the reign of bluff Ring Hal (Henry 7111.) there were passed three acts for the promotion of shooting with the long how. One prohibited. the use ot the cross bow and bend gun, and was promoted by then in- terested. in the arrow trade on the ground that many unlawful games were practised in the open fields to the detriment of public morale and the decay of artillery. The cross bow, though steadily resisted by the Saxons, was the next improvement in arms, and gradually the projectile became smeller and heavier, till at last the better appreciation of the art of making gunpowder came into force. This was really, the start- ing point of guns and the present excellence of implements for hunting. Destroying Continents. Thopedagogue of Pumpkieville recently eetablieln el in his school a new system of teaching geography --a real educational in- uovation, based on scientific prineiplee. It might be described as a shallow box about two feet cquare filled with loose sand ; and hero the description ends. For the pur- pose, however, it was a most ingenious con- trivance. On the surface of this sand he would forniconeineuts, build up mountains, make depressions for oceans, seas, lakes, etc., and thue give the pupil a comprehen- sive idea of the earth's geography. Well, a few evenings ago the locee had a meeting in the schoolhouse, and among other things that attracted their attention was this institution for grinding out leesons in geography. Sandy McNae thought it was a dunce stool, as he bad " heern o' sich things from the scholards." " Well, 1 dunno," said Tommy Lane, surveying it critically ; "1 really duuno what it is ; but I thiele it is some clang thing or other." "1 think it is too, Tommy," said his father, who laid great stress on TOMairg wisdom. All the while Squire Jenkins had been ex- amining the box carefully, and, having ap- parently satisfied himself of its use, he walk- ed away in contemptuous silence. "What be it, Squire ?" asked Sandy, who was much impressed by the Squire's air of profound knee ledge, "Why, bandy, it's a spittoon." "So it is," said Sandy, his eyes brighten- ing at the revelation, and be spit in the box, leaving a black trail across the continent of Africa,. "1 knowed it was a spit box all the time," yelled old Sammy Jeues, "only I jist want- ed to see what you blemed fools would call it," and Sammy spit and his spittle struck Mount Everest, and transformed it into a sea of tobacco suites. "Yes, Sammy, you &heap did know a heap arter you larnt it," said Daddy Lane, as he spit viciously at the box and deluged the continent of South America with tobacco juic e. Another expectoration from Tommy Lane cut the Western Hemisphere in two, and Sandy MeNa.b knocked down the North Pole with a wad of fine cut. The meeting was called to order, its business transacted, and after passing a vote of thanks to the schoolmaster for the use of the spittoon these worthy gentlemen proceeded to theirlomes. Next morning the teacher surveyed the work of desecration with mingled feelings of every emotion. The box and the carefully molded sand were brilliantly frescoed with tobacco juice. The two hemispheres of the previous day were barely distinguishable. The Rocky Mountains were washed into the Paoifio Ocean, Lake Michigan was filled with to hams juice, and the now capped Alps of Switzerland were now in the Mediterranean Sea. The Desert of Sahara, was converted iuto a low, swampy marsh, the crater of Mount Vesuvius was plugged up with te- bacco, and a cigar stub bridged Inc English A Diminutive Timepiece.

The writings of Quintus Cuttius seem ti hint at Ibis, while heathen mythology is full of words signifying weapons of fire and other kindred expressions. Be this as it may, the introduction of powder Mtn Europe dates from the early portion of the Christian era. There is a Spanish treatise upon it in the Eecurial collection dated 1249; and it was supposed that from this Roger Bacon deriv- ed his knowledge of the explosive. The heavier grades of firearms were the first, and at Seville in 1247 the city was defended by cannons throwing stones. The first at- tempt at breeohloading is read of in the sixteenth century. As early as the four- teenth century these were hand guns, but the matchlock was the first used on game. At a date very little anterior to 1700 can be found researches for fulinittation or de- tonating powders, but nothing of importance was discovered till towards the close of that century, when Bayen, ohief army physician to Louis XV., discovered fulminate of mer- cury. This was not applied to firearms till 10 years later, when amongst the studies of the fulminates he discovered fulminate of silver. The explosive being known it was tried for pyrotechnic) displays' but, owing to the difficulty of hanaling, itdropped out of me. Further experiments developed a substitute, and the percussion cap was the reeult. All this time the projectile uaed was in one solid mass or ball, and except for the larger kinds of game the guns at those days were used purely in warfare. The introduce time of shot -making pave a wider soope to the use of firearms, and the muzzle -loading sporting gun has played an important part, and to Meta day fleets a place in the hands of hunters, who ind its cost and care len than that of the breeoh-loader, and the average cost to work accomplished lower than with more approved patterns. It is now many years since the bre,eoh- loading system firmly esta,blis.hed itself in the sporting guns of the country. It was' first seen 10 a very crude form the advance guard of the countless stylesin use being the Lefaucheux.

The escape of gas through the breech was the great drawback. A happy thought was that of making:the cartridge carry its own prim er, which In the early stages was on the pin - fire system. These have of course been greatly improved on by central and rim -fire cartridges, but they are ali only modification and improvements on the old Lefaucbeux idea. There are many plans for opening the breech, both as regards drop and snap. The first of them is represented by the general idea of the drop down, while the snap cone prises the top, side and under grip. For a much -used gun the latter is the strongest and surest, but higbly-finialsed guys all have the top action nowadaye. The next vital improvement was the sys- tem of choke boring. This is not by any 100008 a new idea., but 110.8 only reached per - Channel. Irelani 1 Alas, poor Ireland faction in the last decade.

Any barrel constructed at the muzzle to the extent of five-tbousandtlis of an WM may be termed a muzzled choke, while thirty to forty ere. aendths of an inch construction means a full choked barrel. There are two distinct plans of choke boring. The first, and prob- ably the original idea, is to bore the barrel cylinder for nearly the whole length, eon - treating it from two and one-half to three inches from the muzzle. The other system Is to enlarge the boro immediately behind the muzzle, Thus two main principles and their modifications comprise all the chokes n guns of the present day. In the aeouracy of the work done in this department Iles the difference between the makers.

Dairy Farming in Denmalir. A recent report of Mr. Inglis, the British consul at Copeuhagen, eontains much in- teresting matter on the eubjtot of dairy farming in Denmark. Is appears from the statistics he quotes that within tho last de- cade the exports of butter have more 'than doubled in quantity, a result to be attribut- ed to the improvement in the quality of the article. It is stated that whet has most tended to the production of superior batter has been the extension of the co-operative system to the dairying industry. There are about 500 dairies of this kind, dealing with the milk of from 5,000 to 6,000 °owe on an average. Under t his system milk must be de. livered pure, and is paid for according to the amount required to make oae pound of sale- able butter, The rule has proved to be an excellent means of awakeaing interest,in the quality of milk, and of reeking farmers more careful. Last year snore than 100 farmers went through a course mf instruction in test. ing the properties of milk. At present over 50 dairiee have adopted the method of pay- ment for milk according to the'Pereentage of cream shown to be preecut by the control centrifuge, and in many more this apparatus is used for testing purposes.
