The [several digestive fluids prawns pro Fortin and uses other than thoeo of which we have already learned In 'studying their action upon the venom' food nubatanooa. These we will now oonefder. Tho saliva nob only moistens and softens the food, digoats starch, and dianolvea eomo of the salts of the Iood, but it also nerves an important purpose ea a natural otlmalant to the stomach, oauafng the peptic glands to pour out the gaotrio juice in abundant quan. i ity, The gaotrio juice not only digest's albumen, diem:lveo oertotn mite, and aoogulatoe milk, but also penmen a moat remarkable antiseptic influence, Carbolic acid, Dorn. mon salt, and numerous abhor eubstanoee are called antiseptics, because they prevent ter- mentation or decay. Tho gaettle juice ponseasee the same remarkable property. A dog was fed with putrid meat, On being killed an hour after, the meat, whish had been exaeedingly offonelve, was apparently perfeobly fresh. Thio property of the gas- trin juice le exceedingly important, ea with. out Ito influence the food would always ferment or decay in the etoinaoh before digootion could take plana. The bile pommels a longer variety of uses and properties than does any other fluid In the body, It has six important Haas. 1. It digests fate. 2. It neutralizes the aoid gastric juice. (The bile aloe precipitates or renders inert the pepsin of the gaetria juice, which would othorwioe digest the motive principles of the pancreatic juice and in- testinal fluid, and ao prevent intestinal digestion. It will thus be seen that the anion of the gaotrio jean ceases when the food leaves the etomaah, or very Doan atter. ) 3. Ib aids absorption, 4- Ib etimalates the movements', and le thus a natural laxative, (This explains the woll•enown foot that inactivity of the liver is likely to result in a similar condition of the bowels) 5. It is an antiseptic, preventing the decomposition of the contents of the bewails, when present in nulfioienb quantities. 6. The bile is an excretory field, oontalteng a ooneiderable amount of waste matt', r. The panoreabio 'sod intestinal juices peones no special properties aside from those already desoribed. Tight Laojne and Gall -Stones. Prof. Lawson Tait, of Birmingham, Eng., who doubtless removed more gall -atones than any other living man, states that near• ly all hie patients of this clan are women. It is very seldom, indeed, that he is called to operate upon men for this condition. Why do women have a monopoly of gall- stones ? This ie surely an intereating question. It le not too muoh bile that oe- ersions gall -atones bub too little. Ib la no wonder that the average woman hae too little bile and bile that to eo thiok that the small tubes through which it flows in the liver readily become choked. Doubtless. thie is in part dna to her aedenbary habits But to add to evils growing out of this con• dition of the bile, the poor liver is subjected to the presouro of otaya, corsets, wain bands swinging heavy ekirbe, and perbape a tight belt outside of all. Under these drown - stances, 11 is only.by a tighb-aqueeze " that the thick bile con get through the narrow channels in which ib flows, and doubtless many of the minute bile ducts become stop- ped altogether by the pressure to which they are onbjested. The bile oolleoted in these obstructed tnbos noon hardens, and the nuoleuo of a gall•etone is formed. The bile aooumuletee behind until the atone is forded down into the gallbladder, where lb receives further additions of hardened bile, and so grown, in some oases, to a consider• able eine, The number of stones which may thus accumulate in the gallbladder is limited only by the size of the latter, The writer has counted more than forty atones, each as large as a bean, in several cameo. By and by, a gall -atone, by some sudden jolt or other circumstance, finds its way into the duct whioh conveys the bile to the ioteetine. if it happens to be too largo to pass readily through, the individual has an attack of " biliary colic," suffers great pain for a few hours, becomes yellow as oeffrom, and to afflicted by an intolerable itching of the skin. If the atone gets through, tho patienb soon recovers, and le as well as usual until another atone gets jostled into the dnot. And Bo the progress goes on, unlimited by anything bub the end of the stock of milestones or of the patient's life. -EJ. H. Kellogg M. D., in "Good Health." A Remedy for Diarrhoea. On the authority of Dr. Benjamin Clarke, hot milk le given as a remedy fort diaarhon, and is largely used in the West Indies. The milk need nob be boiled, but should be taken hot as possible withoub discomfort, Many pereono are unaware of the virtues' of hot milk, but 1t is a moat excellent remedy in many oases of dyspepsia, aiding in no way to make a person "bilious," as some aro apb to think, and can often be taken hobby those who are unable to take it in any other way. When need as a dietetic remedy, milk should be made the ohiof article of diet, using grain preparations, and avoiding vegetables, fruite and meats. Hot milk is alio, as we have of. ten maid, an exaellent food for ooneumptivea. Business Morality. Franklin (Ky.) " Favorite :" Among the rubbish in the ebore•room of the late William I.

Australia's Coal Mines, A reward has been offered by the Govern- ment of South Australia for the discovery of a payable coal field in the colony, but, so fa;•, the reward 'mains unclaimed. Al most all the coal need in Auebralla acmes from Newcastle, in New South Wales. where very rich mama of coal aro found quite near the sea. The proprietors of the Newcastle coal mines work upon a eyetem which was explained to me by one of them, as follows : The colliery owners meet to- gether and fix upon a certain output for each colliery per quarter. If a colliery /ships mere than its allotted amount of coal in any quarter it has to pay 72o for every ton in excess. The money thee acquired is die. tributes among the colliery owners who have 'shipped lees than the prescribed amount, The colliery which ehips in any quarter lose than the allotted number of sone of coal hes to ship during the next quarter one-third of the amount less than its proper quantity. Expenses for repairs to mines and for new machinery aro charged to expense, and not to capital aceounb, any unneual ex- penditure being spread over two or throe months, Peyeheets are made oub every two weeks, This system checks all under• selling of one colliery by another and makes it to the interest of each colliery to ship its allotted proportion of coal and no more. The system has been in operation for nix years, and is said by ono of the oolliory owners to be eatisfaotory in every way, Newcastle, the centre of the Ansbrallan coal trado, is bnilb on the Hunter River en the aide of a hill. The town has ex- tended along the eau, where the shorn is flab. On the hill is plooSd the hospital, which aommande a fine view of the ocean. The principal tenet, Hunter street, le a fine one, but the water anpply and the 'sanitary arrangements are bad. Tho miners of Newcastle are said to be very temperate as compared with their brothers inthe crowded coal districts of England. As in many other parte of Australia, the Chinaman is found hero in considerable numbers, and in the neighborhood of Newcastle is chiefly engaged in raising vegetables and green stuff for the market. To See by Telephone. This is an age of invention. A French. men, M. Ccurtonno, snncunoeo that he will shortly make public a discovery he has made which will enable people to use their eyes In the tame way that the telephone adds to the ordinary powers of the ear-thab is, as the telephone enables un to hear sounds from a long distance, the telephoto will en- able tie to tee far-off objeoba, M, Conrtonne maintains that his invention will permit of the trrutemieeion on a wire of luminous vibrations, through any kind of obstacle, for thousands of miles. The user of the telophote, ib is assumed, can see whatever is vielble from the inetrument at the other' end of the wire as easily as if be were on the 'spot. There is nothing improbable in this. If sound waves can be branemibted over a wire, there la no reason, exetpt the want of knowledge, why light waves cannot also bo transmitted. The Latter vibrations are very mach shorter than the former, but in one este, as in the other, ib le merely Vibration which has to be treated. Possibly the time will eomo when, go far as seeing objeote it concerned, we shall be able to make a tour of Europe without going out of our own houses.

'l.WO POUNDS OF WOOD, An Alabama Wonsan Loses Her Llfe from a Strange Canso. Mrs, J. J. Murphy, of Birmingham, Ala„ died a few days ago from a disease which had been puzzling physlcians for eight years. About eight years ago the woman began to complain of pain in the etomaah. She slowly tint gradually grew worse until the died. A dean phyoiomos had treated her but wine of them were, able to say what was the matter. For two years paeb she has constantly suffered the mesh intense pain, and she said she felt something growing in in her Morena. The doctors could feel a bard substance in her stomaoh, but could not determine what ib was. The woman was too weak for an operation. When Mrs. Murphy died an autopsy was made, and in her otomaoh the dootore found two pounds of wood. For twenty years Mrs. Murphy had been addicted to the hobib of dipping snuff. Sha used small wooded brushes for snnff•dippirg, and would often bite off and swallow small pieces of the brush. The amall petioles of wood bad formed a Bolid mace in her stomach, sad the blook weighed just two ponnde. The ploy - 'deism say this wee the cause of her death. It it the only ease of the kind on record. High Speed on Railroads. Thera are many tbingo connoted with high speeds on railways which tax the in- gonnity of loeemotive engineers to the nt. most.

A rail- way traits at sixty miles an hour may be compared to a huge projectile and enbjeob bo the eamolaws, The momentum is the pro- duct of the weighb'of the train, multiplied by the rquaro of the velootty in feet per 'seooud ; and if wo allow a train of 123 bone, travelling at a speed of sixty miles an boar, then the work required to bring It to a etandotill would bo 14,400 foot tone exerted through one minute, or nearly 1,000 horse power, which gives some idea of its deetre°, five force if, unhappily, ib [should come into notion ; and yet this terrific power is so en. tirely under command that the strength of a child turning the smell handle of the vacuum brake can bring the traln to a stand in a few seconds, -Chambers' Journal.

Oh I few are the tears by the maiden shed On the day her bridal vows are acid. They may Dales she meets her father's kiss, Yet her heart is glad with her nuptial bliss She may fondly cling to her mother's side, Yeb har lover claims her, hie happy bride. She fears not to give up her fair young life To the eaarod duties and name of wife ; And there le no grlat in the bears thab flow O'er the soft round cheek with its blushing glow, And she smiles as she wipes them all away With the kerchief white sou her bridal day.

But time will pnee an years go on, And each day fiodeth some duby done, And the kerchief lies in its scented fold, But snow has sprinkled the hair of gold ; For the fair young bride Is matron now, And wrinkles furrow the once smooth brow, And her step is no longer free and light, And the hair is a crown of silv'ry white.

Goon HOIIoEocEERLSO, The Oars of Furniture. There is nothing that shows so quickly the oars of a good housekeeper or the neglect of a poor one as furniture. Good hard -wood furniture should last one or Iwo generations, and be all the handsomer for its years. Yob how seldom is this the case ? No furniture should bo allowed to grow shabby, dente should be removed, the scratches token off as soon as they occur. A little polish should be applied regularly, and oars taken to re- move duet regularly, All largo pieces of furniture which cannot be removed from the room when sweeping soy comes, should be covered with dusting -sheets of old oalioo or heavier muslin, which are kept for the pur- pose and regularly LAIINDEnED WREN SOILED.

The Flower Garden. It la nob yet too late to sow many of the finest biennials and perennials, in order to raise blooming planta for nexb season.

Many persona are kept from sowing seeds of picks and carnations because these flowers aredeoorib- ed in most seedemen'e oataloguee as half hardy perennials, plants that will not en- dure the winter without protection. We have grown them in exposed eituatiore without the least protection, year after year, and do not know of ever Toeing a sing• le plant from the effects of frost. Even the Pioatee pink, which is said to be the most delicate of the carnation family, bas proved be be perfectly hardy in our garden. We would say, therefore, if you wish for a bed of pinks and oarnatione, procure the seeds and sow them at onoe, and they will bloom for you next season, Sow the ends in the bed whore you wish the plants to bloom, and never mind protecting them in the autumn. The young planes are vigorous and hardy, and never fail to come one safe. ly in bhe spring. If, however, you think best bo afford them shelter, simply place a few evergreen boughs over them late in the autumn, after the ground freezes up, and remove them in the spring. Few flowers are more charming in form, color and frogr. anon than the pinks and carnattone, and it is hoped thsb those who read these lines will not hereafter bo deterred from their culture by bhe false statement that they are not hardy. -[Homo Companion.
