One of the most curious and inex-

surgery, says the Chicago Times -Her-

healthiest of men. Be'was vigorous
and enjoyed athletic sports. There
was nono more robust looking. Be
was up o' mornings by the break of
day and had au appetite at breakfast
time that would have done credit to
an army mule driver.
Along in February, however, he be-
gan to niece. His spirits fell. He
did not laugh as was his wont. His
appetite was a dismal failure: The
only thing that he seompd, to enjoy was
his pipe of tobacco and. his rocking
chair. These were his constant coma
pani:ons. He could not sleep. Hie
friends advised the family to call in
a doctor. He protested.
Along about the first of March a
rising .having the resemblance of acar-
buncle etppeared on his right band at
its juncture anteriorly with the arm
just over the radial artery. 19 seem-
ed, as if it

so Dr. J. W. Wild thought. At all
events the sore was treated. as sue'h.
Weeks wont along and the patient
grew worse instead of better. Poul-
tices were applied. but they acted as
irritants. Silenker was finally com-
pelled to go to bed. There be lay
,n a hemi -somnolent state for days.
Medicines did not revive him, nor los
tions allay the throbbing pain caused
by the gradually growing sore on his
arm. It eventually grew darker and
harder and more sensitive. The man
grew more nervous until he was almost
on the verge of delirium. More medi-
cal talent was consulted. The rising
did not show signs of ripening.
It was agreed to apply the lance, and
this was done. The diseased part was
then: of the sire of a walnut, almost
es hard and just as blank. The gris-
tle was penetrated, and in the syno-
vial sac was found more than• two ounc-
es of dark, molasses -like looking fluid.
It bad a sickening smell that pene-
trated the. entire house. Upon exam-
ination it was discovered to be nicotine
—nicotine almost as poisonous as that
found at the bottom of a much used
tobacco pipe. The wound was there
mighty drained and antiseptics applied.

ed and tested, But fetal traces of blood

tine, in all of its deadly .effects, was
plainly apparent. Fifteen drops giv-

It is a popular fallacy that each drop
of water we drink is Leeming with more
or less pernicious germs, and that every
time a thirsty man consumes :1, glass
of nature's beverage ho runs the risk
of engulfing a choice and varied as-
sortment of typhoid bacilli, scarlet
fever mierococol, and other unspeak-
able monstrosities. The idea is all
wrong of course, but there is some truth
in it—that sort of half truth that is
ofttimes worse than no truth at all.
That there are nacre -organisms in
the purest water is perfectly true, Even
distilled water Is not quite free from
them, But they are mostly quite
harmless, good natured little chaps,
with no more malice, so to speak, in
their composition than a two -months -
old .baby,
In all there have been discovered in
ordinary unfiltered city water about
fifteen hundred species, and an aver-
age sized tumbler of drinking water
will contain frow five hundred to one
thousand.
Jlut do not, be alarmed and proceed
to forswear "Adam's ale" for some more
potent beverage. They are so infini-
tely tinny that if it were possible for
a man to drink all the water that ran
through his tap in a %reek he would
not have consulmea more than
ONE EUNDIREDTH PART
of an ounce of foreign matter.
One of the most common organisms
found in water is the amoeba. It; is
one ob the lowest Corals of animal life,
being nothing more than a piece of
jelly. Amoebae are quite as nutritious
is gelatine, and when it is refloated
that it would take about fifty millions
to make a decent sized pudding, no one
need shudder it he unconsciously drink
a couple to a glass of water.
Another wild looking but perfectly
harmless little beast is thel sua animal-
cule. It is also jellylike, and the formi-
dable spices are softer than the finest
down.
The Infusoria are among the prettiest
as well as the smallest of all micro-
organisms. They average about ono two-,
thousandth of an inch in' diameter, and
an army corps of them would find no
difficulty in drilling on tbo point of a
needle. They make good, infinitesimal
fish food.
Perhaps the most pleasing creetcures
yet discovered to the %vo.ter we drink,
and the kind most calculated to shake
the fin•mness of even the stanchest of
teetotalers, is the oyclops.
It Is a member of the great family
of crustacea, to which lobsters and
shrimps and crabs belong, and is ex-
actly like them in shape.
Among the microeeopto plants found
in ordinary drinking water are many
very
BEAUTIFUL FORMS.
One of the commonest is Lhe desmicl,
which is exactly like 0. tiny cabbage.
It is probable, too, that in proportion
to its size it is quite as. nutritious.
The diatoms are another very com-
mon class of water ltlaut, and present
an endless variety of forms. Some of
them glide slowly to and fro tike fairy
boats, others are in chains, and many
Live together in colonies. They all
have glass cases, beautifully marked.
In fact, they are mere minulte specks
or jelly with the thinnest of glass walls,
and are warranted not to scratch.
The only really dangerous classes of
of plants to be found, Ln drinking water
belong to the bacteria. Mauy of these,
however, are not at all harmful They
live and thrive and flourish in our
bodies, just as they do in their native
element, but we feel no ill offer's.
But once let the typhoid germ, or
the diphtheria bacillus, or the still
more deadly plant that is responsible
for cholera, find lodgment in our sys-
toms, and we have inadvertently ad-
mitted a poison produning agent which
not all the medical skill will be able, to
ellm.inate until ie has run its course.

A
despatch received at Bombay from
Simla, the residence of the Indian Gov-
ernment officiate during the heated
Periods of the yiisr, announces serious
trouble on the northern frontier and
Lbs massacre of a number of British of -
fivers and naLlve soldiers In the Gov-
ernment employ. J"rom the parL'ueulars
obtainable at present it seems that two
guns belonging to a Booibay mounted
battery, escorted by 300 men belong-
ing to the first regiment of Sikhs end
to the first Punjab infantry, were
treacherously attacked in the 'Sochi
Valley by a large force of hostile na-
tives.
The first report said that Colonel
Bunny, two officers and 25 privates lied
been killed and that three officers and
twenty-five men had been wounded.
Later reports, however, seen' to indi-
cate that the affair is more than a
mere conflhu with warlike natives and
that the notorious Mullah of Poi ndabis
a the bottom of the trouble.
It seems that a political officer, Mr.
McGee, was visiting Shirani with an
escort of troops when he was attacked
at Matzo by vastly superior forces.
The British lumps were compelled to
retreat and were followed bur several
miles by overwhelming numbers of....the
enemy.
The fighting was desperate. All the
Brill -sit oilicers were severely wounded.
Captain Browne of the first Sikhs, a
son oL Lhe late lir James Browne, and
Lietuenant Crookshank of the Royal
Artillery were killed and Surgeon Big-
ginson, Lieutenant Higginson of the
first Sikhs, and Lieutenant Seaton-
Brossue of the Punjab infantry were
wounded,
The second despatch does net men-
tion the death of Colonel .Bunny, but
from the fact that it says that Colonel
Gray from Miranshan, has tltken over
the command of the British forces en-
gagead it is inferred that Colonel Bun-
ny is also among the dead, as at first
announced.
(Sethi Valley lues north and on the

the other tribes rise against the Brit-

Later—The notes of the disaster on
the frontier of British Jndia has been
officially confirmed.
The London Times' correspondent aL
Simla says :—Mr. McGee was sent to fix
the site of a now outpost at Sherani
and to recover th'e fine unposed on
local tribesmen for past misconduct.
The trogtis, after this attack, retired
towards Dattakhela, sustaining a run-
ning fight for four miles, as the
Waziris were in such strength it was
impossible to do mora than act on the,
defensive. Two companies of native
infantry sent from JJattakhela, rein-
forced the party, which brought in its
guns safely. No reason is yet givenfor
this sudden outbreak; but the ;garrison

severe fighting will follow and that
another Chitral will be enacted. Un-
fortunately the great frontier General,

PLAYING WITH THE CLOCK.
Ia mamma's home, there was a large
clock whtob struck on a coiled wire.
There was no instrument of any kind
in the pause. Mamma was a very lit-
tle girl, and she would often get up
vary close to the face of the clock and
try to see the little Mad move, but
she was always disappointed. One
day leer mother and father were away
and she was alone with her sister.
Manama was always the leader of every-
thing, and she wanted some music. So
she got a little stick, opened the fuse
of the clock and began to play on
the wires on which the clock struck.
She did not stole the pendulum, and
after she had played for some time,
she hit it with her stick, which knocked
it down. Then the clock began to go
very fast; mamma said an hour was
only as long as five minutes. She w'as
very frightened a,nd thought ate had
broken It. She ran across to the next
]louse and got Mr. Bleak to come and
fix it. IOe laiughed when ho heard

James A. Bell, of Beaverton, Ont.,
brother of the Rev. John wesu'y hell,
B.D., prostrated by nervous headaches
A victim of the trouble for seeeral
years.
South American Nervine effected a
complete ,cure.
In their own particular field few men
are beter known than the Rev. John
Wesley Bell, B.D., and bis brother Mr.
James A. Bell. The former eau uta re-
cognized by his thoueands of friends all
over the country es the popular and able
missionary superintendent of the Royal
Tempters of Temperance. Among the
_^0,000 members of this order in Ontario
his counsel is sought on all sorts of 0e-
eesions. On the public platform he is one
of the strong u,en of the day, nettling
against the evils of intemperance.
hgaally well known is Mr. Bell In other
provinces of the Dominion, having been
for years a member of the Manitoba
Methodist Conferees} and part of this
(Me %vas stationed in Winnipeg. Rio
brother, lir. ,Tonics A. Bell, is a mghly
respected resident of Beaverton, Tonere
his influence, though perhaps more air-
cumscribed than that of his eminent
brother, is none the lens effective and
productive of enol. Of recent years,li,'w-
ever. the working ability of ilir, James
A. Bell lens been sadly marred by severe
attacks of nervous headache, aecotn-
panied by indigestion, Who can do tit
work when this tremble takes hold of
them and especially when it becomes
ebrouic, as was, seemingly, the case with
Mr. Bell? The trouble reached seen in-
tensity that last June he was,complete-
ly prostrated. In this condition a friend
recommended South American Nervine.
Ready to try anything and everything,
though he thought he had covered the
list of proprietary medicines, he secured
a bottle of this great discovery. d
second bottle of the medicine was taken
and the work was done. Hlmploying his
own language: "Two bottles of South
American Nervine immediately aelieyed
ley headaches and have bunt up mT
system in a wonderful manner." Let ns
not deprecate the good our clergymen
and social reformers are doing In the
world, but how ill -fitted they would be'
for their work were it not the relief
that South American Nervine brings to
themwhen physical ills overtake
them, and when the system, as ars
stilt et hard, earnest and conttnuens
work, breaks down. Nervine treats the
system as the wise reformer treats thea,
evils he is battling against It strikes at

"I cannot form a very accurate idea
of the amount of gold used in gold leaf
and gold foil in this country," said a
Philadelphia manufacturer of goldlea2
and gold foil. "Gold foil is used almost
entirely by dentists in filling teeth;
gold leaf Ls used in gilding, bookbind-
ing andoporations of that sort, besides
the show that is made of acres and
acres of gilded signs, spread before the
publio in one way and another.
"The quantity of gold used in gold
leaf is at least twice as great as that
used in foil., Lr (0.100 of the fact that
Lho leaf is so mach thinner than the
foil. A skilled mast can bummer out
twenty ounces ba gold fell in a day,
While it will take him a week to make
two ounces of gold leaf, because it is
so much thinner. This work has always
been done by hand, probably alwayswUt

sorted forurel ornamental purposes.

This is a big quantity of gold. It
would make between fifteen and twenty,
waggon loads, at a ton a load. It would
melt up into four cubes each two feet
in width, depth and height. Or, if
moulded into one gi antic tooth, one
of the three pronged fellows that growl.
so when removed from their accustom-
ed places, that tooth wound be ten feet
high. A slenderer front tooth, twelve
or thirteen feet high, could be built
from the same gold.
