Paper and Twine.
So simple a matter as not being able to
find the paper 2,nd string necessary for tying
cm a parcel may destroy the equanimity of
the housekeeper and prevent the wheels
of the demestic machinery from working
smooth y a whole day, on account of the
time and temper lost in hunting for these
articles.
All this may be prevented by a little at-
tention and forethought. All that is nec-
essary is to smooth and fold each piece of
wrapping paper that comes into the house
about the various parcels, and then to place
it in some convenient drawer where it will
always be handy.
Twine is another element of comfort. A
pmall basket with a cover, such as can be
bought for a few cents, is thehandiest place
to store twine in the kitchen. You need
never buy any. tTust roil each piece up when
it comes in the house around packages, and
fasten cum end about the roll with a slip-
Imot,and you'will be surprised to seewhat a
tegamtity and assortment you will accumu-
late in u short time. -
It is a great convenience to have twine in
various rooms of the house. Littlejapanese
baskets, which cost but a few cents, are
both useful and ornamental, when hung up
with a ball of red, blue or other colored
twine in each. By the way, one of these
baskets suspended by ribbon of the same
color as the twine and a small pair of
sessors attached makes a very pretty and
appropriate Christmas present.

a cure for it,should beheld greeter than h
who has conquered an empire. As to pe

among infante the statistical records sho
that this disease has been fatal in abou
fifty per cent, of cases. That is to say,th

serum treatment the rate of mortality ha
dwindled down to twenty per cent. or nnl
one in five, and there is abundant reaso
to believe that when the new treatment ha
been studied more carefully this rate wi
fall considerably further. But -what is th
anti-toxine, this wonderful subettinoe &lieu
which so much has been xi ritten and s
little explained.? In the first place th
word anti-toxine is derived from two Gree
words, "anti" signifying /'against" an
"toxicokon," "pertaining to arrows" or
because arrows were formerly tipped wit
poison, pertaining to poison. "Antatoxine
therefore means &substance which counter
acts or is "against" toxine or some poison
ous substance. In other words anti -toxin
as applied to diphtheria in an antidote fo
the poison. of the diphtheria microbe. I
has long since been ascertained that th
microbe of a disease does not kill of itself
But it excretes a poison
31.N0WN AS ITS TOXINE,
which causes the manifestations of th
disease in the human system. It ha8 ale
long since been known that nature tries t
combat this toxine which the microb
excretes. Hence the old saying. "Nat
ure cures. The physician can only
help nature." As 'soon then as microbe
enter the system and begin to excret
:nes, nature gets to wurk manufacturin
an ante- g. me to combat them. Sornet
constitiations rei4y furnish this anti -toxin
substance and easily 73-4-Neeseerie the poison.
Hence it is that one man ave a ligh
attack of a disease while another , ill sue
cutnb. Hence it is also that in csrtain
diseases, a man is usually subject to bu
one attack. During the first attack z ature
has fortified himself against the diseas and
the subjeet is immune against subset. uent
contagion. This being the case physilians
of the highest intellect have been striving
for some time past to
DISCOVER THE SUBSTANOE
which nature uses as an antidote for tox-
ines. In pneumonia, for instance, it was
noticed that at one period of the disease
there is always a crisis, when the temper-
ature will suddenly drop a number of de-
grees. This peezzled physicians for many
Years,until the deduction was drawn thatat
the time of the crisis nature had manufac.
tured sufficient anti-toxine to overcome the
toxine of the microbe of pneumonia. It
was along the same line that Koch strove
when he manufactured his celebrated lymph
for the cnre of tuberculosis, and indeed
Jenner's N accination against smallpox is on
identically the same line, although Jenner's
discovery was made by chance, and was
not the result of reasoned deductions. The
problem being then to secure a supply of
nature's cure, the efforts of bacteriologists
have been directed along the line of experi-
ments on animals. By certain methods
the vireelence of toxines can be attenuated,
or lesWbed, as by others it can be made
greater If, therefore, an ainimal be
inoculated with a series of these toxines,
beginning with the weakest,it is reasonable
that after a time that animal will become
immune against the attacks of that disease
become nature working in the animal has
manufactured sufficient anti-toxine to
counteract the poison. In other words,man
finding himself unable to discover a cheini-
ical antidote for agiven poison, gets nature
to do it for him,
THE samosa FREATMEET.
In the serum treatment, then, a child
suffering from diphthetia is inoculated with
serum taken from an animal, say a horse,
which has been rendered immune, as above,
against diphtheria. The substance which
nature has manufactured in the horse as an
antidote against the disease with which he
has been inoculated is thus introduced into
the blood of the child, and straigatwam
begins to counteracb the poison of the
diphtheria microbes precisely as it counter..
acted it when it WAS coursing in the veins
of the horse. This is the sum and substance
of the anti-toxine remedy, and the principle
will apply to other diseases in time, as well
as to diphtheria.
NOT ALWAYS CURATIVE.
The eerum which is prepared in this way
is not always curative. It is preventive
only against pneumonia and cholera but it
is both preventive and curative in the case
of tetanus and diphtheria. For the supply
of large quantities of the serum it has been
found that the horse is the most suitable
animal to experiment upon. A gradually
increasing dose of a toxine that Will kill

TRAMPLED BY ELEPHA,NTS.
A. Tragic 'Episode of a Cent attnial Pete in
tbe City of Risidiellt.
On the occasion of the famous centennial
fete at Munich in 1588 Carl Hagenbeek
had with him a large nurnber ef his
"pets," and on the day of the grand pros
cession .was marching in it - with eight
elephants, walking two and two. All
went well until the elephants came to a
point where some one:bad been allowed to
set up an enormous sheet -iron dragon,
hideously painted, which at that moment
emitted a wild, brazen shriek, and began
to belch forth flames and sparks.
The four leading elephants took fright
and ran away headlong through the pro-
eession and along the crowded street. In
vain Mr. Hagenbeek called to them. The
yells of the dragon drowned his voice.
The elephant's, too, were trumpeting almost
as loudly as the steam dragon itself; and
the outcry of all combined was immedi-
ately swallowed up by the :still greater
uproar of the multitude, as the panic
spread right and left. •
"11 ever I ran in my life," ' says Mr.
Hagenbeck, "I ran then after those
elephants; for the four in the rear had also
taken alarm and made a dash after their
comrades. I was more agile then than at
present, and ran like a hound through and,
I must add, over numbers of the good.
people.
"I actually caught up with the runaway
elephants as they ploughed through the
throng. The two foremost were chained
together, and running in between them as
they forged ahead, I caught hold of the
chain and shouted to each by name, order-
ing them to stop. It was useless. They
were too panimstricken to heed me. In
vain I entreated and commanded them.
On they ran, trumpeting shrilly.
" At every instant I was in the utmost
danger of being trodden on or crushed to
death between them, as they swayed to-
gether. Still I kept hold of the chain,
talking to them, for I knew that it was a
very serious matter, and that many per-
sons had been injured already.
"For a mile or more -we rushed on. My
breath was nearly exhausted. AM length,
at a turn of the street, I contrived to halt
them in front of the walls of a hose
against which I was nearly crushed to
death. Here I should have gained the
ascendancy over my charges but for the
senselees shouts of the crowd and .the
shrieks of women frame tas-Wanalows over
-bur head& "tiletcry started them ota
again faster than before.
"At last utterly exhausted, I lost my,
hold on the two leaders and fell out behind
them, but fortunately escaped being trod-
den on. I was quite spent and more dead
than alive.
"A few hundred yards further on the
two leading elephants, now worse terrified
than ever, rushed bodly into a public
house besitie the street, the double doors of
which stood wide open and very lofty.
The house was full of people most of -whom
had no opportunity to escape.
"The two elephants ran in among them,
crushing several unfortunates beneath their
feet and, to complete the tragedy, two
others of the -eight crowded blindly in
after them. Then the floor gave way,
preeipating elephants and people into the
cellar. Ach ! that was a dreadful sight!
"Many were hurt and some were killed
out -right. 1 lost two of my elephants. As
was natural, a great hue and cry was rais-
ed against me, and a long-winded police
investigation followed. After a great deal
of testimony had been taken'the blame
was finally placed where it belonged—on
the fiery dragon, and I was acquitted.
"They have erected a new public house
now on the site of the old one and given it
tlae name of "The four Wild Elephants."
Moved and Took His House With
Him.
A curious case of house moving was
recently witnessed in Oregon. A man who
owned a residence at Seattle, which cost
him $5,000 to erect, removed. to Olympia,
and did not have sufficient funds to build
another house. He boneht a lot and con-
cluded to remove the building he owned at
Seattle. Everyone laughed at him but he
persisted. Rolling the house down to the
river, he loaded it upon a scow and it
was soon at Olympia a distance of about
sixty miles. Then he hied it rolled upon
hislot, and etrange to say,nob a timber was
strained,nor even a piece of the furniture
broken although he had not removed the
contents before garbing the house upoa
its unttsual joarney.

big and blue, with all the innocence of a

and attractive figure.
The women from the counter move to-

behind. If you had looked closely—some-
thing you would haye never thought of
doing—you mfght have seen a sharp keen--

If you had been an attentive observer

would have noticed that the sharp-eyed.
young man quietly lett the store with the

idly wears a cane, has doubtless been mak-

"Madam," he says, half roughly, but
politely, "She woman at the lace counter

includieg representatives of all the imperial
and royal families of Europe. The funeral
services, were conducted by the metropoli-
tan of it Petersburg and the metropoli-
tan of Moscow. The former conducted the
Czarina to her place near the coffins which
reposed in state in the centre of the
cathedral. The Czar and the Grand
Dukes and the members of the royal
families present took up positions on the
right of the coffin, and the many military
officers in attendance were grouped behind
the bier. On the left were the foreign am-
baseadors and Ministers and their staffs
while grouped around in different parts of
the cathedral were countless delegations
from Russian cities: and elsewhere, includ-
ing the numerous delegations from France.
The funeral service began at 10.30 sari.,
and heated until 4 'clock. Over thirty
members of the royal families of Europe'

Ia Qteaton the fishmonger's is a MOO ire-
pertanb trade, The Chinaman is a born
fitherman ; he also has for ages poet oul-
tivated a system of artificial breeding and
rearing of live fish for the Market. In the
shops are diSplayed live and dead tish, fish
&cell and :salted, smoked and preserved.
One varieby was like whitebait, in baskets:
graded frorri tiny things not half an heals
long to what appearecl to be the same fish
grown to £3 or 9 inches in length. These
were field, fresh, salted and smoked. Shark
Sus are a delicacy. There were fislamottled
and barred, bright and dull, fish of quaint
and (to us) unknown shapes; but foremost,
above all, and everywhere to be aeon, were
the artificially grown live fiela
A wonderful creature was t his, always
appearing to suffer from heat, gasping at
the surface of the water for breath, and re-
calling Verdant Green's fish, that were be•
ginniug to sweat and complain. They were
as tame as domestic animals,seerningly care-
less of being knocked about., thrown, from
ponds into boat, from boats into tubs, from
tubs into buckets and then back into tubs
again. They were used to being handled
and inspected, and, 'if disapproved, put
back into the water; to be sold alive if
bought whole, or out to pieces while living
and sold in Lleeding chunks. A thick,
short fish is this of the mullet sliepe, aver-
aging about 15 inches in length and weigh-
ing about 3 pounds, but sometimes longer,
and running up in weight to as much as 4
or even 5 pounds. When out up they bleed
like pigs, and toshow how freshly they are
killed the salesman is in the habit of slicing
a live one into pieces, and with the blood
smearing all the pieces for sale, so that
they look reeking and horrible to European
eyes. To keep them alive in the shops
they are always placed in a large tub with
a smaller veseel fixid above it. From the
bottom of the upper vessel a bamboo, with
one or two saw -outs in it' stioks out and
from those cut streams of water flow in thin
cascades into the tub beneath. Every now
and then, when the upper vessel becomes
empty, the fish all rise to the surface, and
glop! glop! glop! take down both air and
water. Then an attendant, attracted by
the noise, plunges a bucket down among
them, and from the water in which they
swim fillthe upper vessel full again.
SIKOKING IN CHURCH.
--
h. Praetieetrang Once Existed in Eng-
land and Scotland.
We often her men say in answer to ur.
gent invitations from their wives and daugh-
ters to accompany them to church, "Oh, if
I could only smoke in church I would go,"
and this is looked upon as a knook-down
argument, for no one in these days would
think of deseeratingo, church witlithe fumes
of tobacco. It may, therefore, be interest-
ing to some people to know that there was
a time when smoking in chureh was pracg
ticed hi England and Scotland.
Sir Walter Scott, in bib "Heart of Mid. -
Lothian," refers to one Duncan, of -Knock-
under, an important personage, who smoked
during the whole of the sermon, from an iron
pipe, tobacoo borrowed from other worship-
ers. We are told that at "the end of the
diecourse he knocked the ashes out of his
.pipe, replaced it in his sporan, returned the
tobacco pouch to its owner and joined in the
prayer with decency and attention."
_The pame,wactice,existed intim Medium.
-
Bay Territory and some other of the British
possessions beyond the seas for some time
after the erection of the first churches in
those early setelements, there being a gen-
eral recourse at the commencement of the
sermon to the soothing weed, the minister
waiting until the pipes were fairly under
way before proceeding with his discourse.
It is also an interesting fact that smoking
in church was by no means confined to the
oongregationmor even to the minor clergy-
men for it is recorded that the Archbishop
of York was once reproved by the Vicar of
St. Mary's, Nottinglaam, for attempting to
smoke in the church vestry. The Rev. John
Disnez,of Swinduly, in Lincolnshire,writing
on the 13th of December, 1733, to James
Granger, says
"The Archbishop ordered some of the
appositors, or other attendants, to bring
pipes and tobacco and some liquor for his
refreshment after the fatigue of confirma-
tion, and this coming to Mr. Disnez'a ears,
he forbade their being brought hither, and
with a becoming spirit remonstrated with
the Archbishop upon the impropriety of his
conduct, at the same time telling his grace
that his vestryshould not be converted into
&smoking room."
We lutve no evidence of the fact, but
according to tradition smoking was allowable
in the churches of the American colonies
something over 150 ytars ago, bat the good
sense of the people put a stop to it, and it
is never likely to be revived in that part of
the world, so that it is quite aafe for men to
say they will go to charoli when they are
allowed to smoke there.
