As it general thing valvular cotnplaitits itt long etanding are an eltsolute center iit. dication te all hydro -mineral treatment of whatever kind it may be. The only things that we ought to treat and that wo cantreat are the ;general die. eases under the infinenee of which mediae trouble is produced and grows I refer especially to rheumatic complaints. At the eloent Mite, at Nevis, itt La ljalore, at the Eaux (Mathias, at Chamlesffigues, at Saint Neetaire, at Naelteim and sometimes at Aix -les -Pains, the fits of palpitation end of opprossiou, and ill 301/10 rare cases, the cardiac; murmurs of certain rheumatic pati- ents have been observed to disappear.

The conclusion which I draw front all .these facts is that certain mineral waters and mud baths can be used with perfect safety with young rheumatic patients with whom the eardiae disorders are neither too recent nor too far gone, with whom the compensation is well established, and es- pecially with whont there are uo signs of endarteritis. But to Min from these facts that all diseases of the heart can be benefited be mineral springs or mud baths is an inunense mistake, as the two .ideas are separated by a vast abyss which will not be closed for many a clay yet. TREATMENT Or .11TOOARD1TIS. vet7 interesting chapter could be writ- ten on the hydromisteral treatment of the different forms of myozarditis, but in the present state of our knowledge We have not at our disposal the facts which could give to such a chapter the indispeneable olinical basis of which it stands in need. I shall, therefore, be obliged to place myself on a purely theoretical standground, but at the same time on ono that may at some future (lay be the starting point of a rational line of therapeutics. The pathogenesis of the different forms of chronic myna/elide is still it mystery 113 rtt. gar& it3 essential, anatomical process at any rate. What the bond is whin connecte the arthritis; diathesis to the different car- diac scleroses no 0110 13 ill a poeition to say ; we do not, therefore, know of any form of preventive therapeutics. Now the study of the disorders in the nutrition of arthritic patients with arterio sclerosis and myocarditis has led me to the following theory ;— One of the characteristic points iu the nutrition of urietemic petients, for instance, is the presence iu exeese in the plasmata of different proaucts of hydratation and of waste, of nitrogenous or ternary nature, with marked irritating properties and dial - cult to eliminate o11 accottut of their little zolability. The tnuscular fibres of the heart, which are in direct contact with a lympathic eavity, pour into it constantly products of this nature. If the elimination of these pro- ducts is lessened for one reason or another, (superabundance of waste products, tempor- ary insufficiency of the vasaages by which they are carried off, sluggiehness of the lyin• pathie current, tte.) these products will exercise their power of irritation on the intramardiao connective tissue, which will proliferate, while the muscular fibre will re- act and become hypertrophied. Soh will he the first net of all interstitial myocarditie, of which the ulterior evolution will depend on the length and degree of the num of irritation and 011 the nutritional the muscu- lar fibre. In presence of n pathogenesis such as this what should theoretically be the treatment to be advised ? It will be e, treatment capable of putting a stop to the unnatural process of disassimilation which itt procluoing these ir- eitating substances, to hasten the lymphatic circulation and to favor all:forms of elimina- tion ; it ia, therefore, a, treatinein which both lessene the formation of 'rennet% producte and also the length of time during which they remain in the lymphatic spaces of the heart, in order to reduce to a mininitun the inter.

I would like it, all the careful attention of the physicians practising at the springs to this sulejeet. The only remaining point is to consider which springs can be used iit applying this new method. They are Very numerous. To the resorts whin I have already named eau be added Bailenweiler, with its large baths, wheel render such great seevice in cardiac neuroses brought en by sexual exhaustion, hypochondria, the abese of tobacco, ac. In the same order of ideas tho waters no - Mining sulphate of sodium, combined with a strict regime, seem to me also worth try- ing. It is already known that Saint•Neelaire wall its slight mineral qualities, has, when the treatment is well handled, an action which is very like tbe one of which I am speaking. This would lead me also to try Caelelettl, Macs and .Mirs, but in slightly LI xative doses. If all the Eggs of the Ood Matured. Fish that take much care of theivoffspang eater:111y don't need to produce eggs ht the same reekless abundance as those dissipated kinds that leave their spawn exposed on the bare eautly bottom at the mercy of every comer who chooses to take a bite at it. They eau afford to lay a smaller ntunber, and to make each individual egg much letper and richer in proportiou than their rivals, This plan'of course, enables the young to begin lifefar better provided with muscles and fins than the tiny little fry which comes out of the ega's of the improvident species. For example, the codfish lays 0,000,000 odd eggs; hut anybody who Imo ever eaten fried cod's roe must needs have noticed that each intlivideal ovum was 60 very small as to be almost indidinguishable to the naked eye. Thousamis of these iafinitesimal speeks are devoured before they batch out by predace. ons fish ; thousands more of the youug fry aro swallowed alive clueing; their helpless in- fancy by the enemies of their species. Im- agine the very fractional amount of parental effection which each of the 0,000,000 must needs put up with. On the other hantl there is a patent. ally -minded group of catfish known as the genne Arius, of Ceylon, Australia, and other tropicalparts, the males of•which carry about the ova loose in their mouths, or rather in an eulargoment of the pharynx, somewhat resembling the pelican's pouch 1 and the spouses of these very devoted sires lay act. eordingly only very few ova, all told, but each &butt as big as a hedge -sparrow's egg —a wonsleeful contrast to tho tiny mites ot the codfish. To p0111 briefly, the greater the amount of protection allot:deft the eggs, the larger the size. And onversely, the larger the site of the egg to start with, the better fitted to begin the battle of life is the young fish when first turned out on a cold world upon his own resources. This is a general law, indeed, that rttns through all nature, from London shuns to the deep sea. Wasteful species produce many young, and take but little care of them when once produced. Economical species produce very fewyoung, but start each in- dividual well-equipped for its place in life, tuld look after them closely till they can take ears of themselves in the struggle for existence. And ou the average, however many or however few el the offspring to sten with, just eneugh attain maturity in the long run to replan their parents in the next generation. Were It otherwise, the ea would soou become one solid mass of herr Ing, cod, and marerel. .

Marie are the wild native brook trout that spawn in many streams whin enter the "Soo" on both sides, and nowhere in the country are trout (Al this Icind larger 1 or of gamier quality. In an honr's fishiag loth Garron this season, breasting those tossing rapids in his cockleshell of a bark canoe, one New York angler killed twenty trout that weighed forty-tive pounds. The handling of a fighting trout of two pounds and more, on a seven-ouneo rod, in such water as the Sault Ste. Marie Rapids, is an experience that no trout fisherman ever had elsewheee, for nowhere else are them trout waters so fierce, so angry, so persistsnt in aiding a hooked trout in its efforts to get free. There are few lake tourists who have not read of the Indian fishermen of the Sault Ste. Marie and their astounding feats in net- ting whitefish in the seething rapids. The guide books describe this.great attraction of the "Soo as follows : "Two Indians go with it canoe into the rapids. One occupies the bow and one the stern. The latter (Indian, presumably ; not stern) uses a paddle to k.eep the boat's head up stream. The former has 11 pole with which to steady the boat, standing upright in his place. They take with them a dip not four feet in diameter, attached to a pole or handle fifteen feet long. This is placed ready to the hand of the Indian in the bow. The hshhig is done at the foot of the 'lipids, where the water boils and tumbles furiously. With his pole the Indian in the bow holds the canoe or lets it float steadily sidewise, 110W op 0 little, perhaps, and then down, but always mulct: perfect control. The In- dian gazes constently into the water, whin is often ten feet deep where they are fishing and the depthe of which no white man was ever yet able to school his eye to penetrate. Siffitlenly he seizes the met by the handle with one hand, still manipulating the boat with the other, and plunges the net into the water, perhaps ten feet away from the boat, thrusting it to the bottom, 'I'lten he gives it a peculiar twist, draws it up, and turns out Into the boat often as many as half a dozen whitefish weighing from three to five pounds. These Indiatt fishertneu are unerring in coating their nets, and it is not au uncommon thing for them to capture 800 whitefish in a day. How they are able to see the lish on the bottom of the rapids is mystery no one has yet boon able to fathom." `Thus the guide book. Antlif you go with O pair of these Indian fishermen and watoh them fish, you must acknowledge to your. self all the apparent necromancy of their piscatorial art. You can see nothing but the boiling waters, but suddenly your Indian starts, plunges his net into the tronbled depths, and lifts it front them full of glisten- ing fish. If you don't think to marvel to jolly old Garrott over this amazing Indian fishing, you will leave the Sault Ste. Mario deeply impressed with its wonder and its mystery. But mention it 1/0 GRITO11 and ho will smile and wink his shrewd little eyes. He will say nothing unless yott west; him for a reason for the smile and twinkling, eyes.

A horrible murder has been eniumitted near Narni itt 'Umbria. About twelve miles from the city of Narni, on the side of 0 mountain, is au anoint convent, called Lospeco. It wes in the woods near it that St. Francis of Assisi used sometimes to wan- der about in contemplation. The convent, however, was only inhabited 1101V by five friars, who were greatly respected by the people in Narni for the great good which they werealways doing. On Seedily morning two of them went oft to celebrate mass in a village near by, it being the feast of St. Lunn. The other throe—Padre Natale, Padre Alfonso, and Padre Emilio—to. Wded3 twelve o'olock went as unite their dinner in tho refectory. While they were eating they were surprised by four individt nate with their faces masked and armed with loe t knives and sticks, with which they at. tac eed the poor friars. A terrible fight en. sued, with the result that ono of the friars was beaten to death. Another WES killed by haviog his throat cut, and the third Wed stabbed. A boy of 15 years of age, who alsolived in the convent, ran down to the cel- lar to hide, but ho was followed and beaten to death. The sight that presented itself to the other two tritue on their return in the evening was a dreadful one, No reason alt all ean be given for this atrooions crime, ail the assassin did not steal anything from the convent or from the nun ; but it is thought that theier intention was to rob, though perhaps they were too frightened to do so niter having mtwdered the friars. The police aro hunting all over the place, but have not caught any of the BASESSilld yet. Ballooning to the North Pole, It boa been announced in the Paris jour- nals, the Standard Paris correspondent telegraphs that MM. Georges Besancon, director of the Superiov School of Anita. Navigation, and Gustave Hormito, astronem- er and nteteovologist, nephew of the Presi- dent of the Academy of Sciences, propose to make a scientific expedition to the Borth Pole. Witlt that object they intend to construct a balloon of lined silk, 30 metres, in diameter, and havinga cubic capacity of 14, 121 metres. The balloon will be covered with to special varnish, which will ensure its apsolute imperviousness. 11 will be filled with pttre hydrogen, and its cur NVill be onstruted on a novel plan, espe- cially suitable for this Polar Expedition. It is calculated that the aerial jemmy tvill lest from footto five days, to be commenced at Spitzbergen, and it ts hoped that it will end happily on the North American Continent, or in the northern portiott of Asia, a journey of some 3500 kilometres.

Mr. ;Mien gave a number of lied:4011S to support his belief lit it higher privy for wheat this season, awing them the shortage ef the Atneritem and European lutreeets fuel the failure of the potato crop in tee Brit- ish deltoids. Speaking of the live cattle trade, lie boned, he said, that the people of Canada would bo prepared to support the policy of the (10Velillilleht in maintaleing the stringency of the regulatiouo in regatel to the admission of U. S. cattle, In no other way could the advantages now enjoy- ed by Cituadian cattle exporters in England Ito maintained. The British farmers are favovable to the importation of Canadian cattle, which are landed alive tend fattened on English pastures with the aid of English capita Asked if the sebstitution ot Ladoga, or any muffin ripening variety of wheat, would depreciate the sup-orior price now obtained for Manitoba wheat in lenglaml, Mr. Moore said not. Canadian wheat is valued for its hardness. That quality is not anted in the eame red fyfe wheat grown in England, but is given to 11 1)3' the peculiar soil and eli• mate conditions of the North-west country and of course any other variety would am quire in alanitna thnt valuable quality of hardness, juat as the red fyfe has done. Tito Ladoga, ov a new variety—the Anglo. Canadian—the lotto recently obtained in England by experbnent, would attain under the conditions that obtain in Canada the hatffinees that makes your wheat invaluable to English millers since the introdnetiou of the roller process. Plowing Deep. All soils can not be treated alike, and because one farmer finds it best to plow deep should not be accepted by every one as conolusive evidence that deep plowing is the hest utder all circumstances; and especially is this the case where shallow plowing lute heretofore been the rule. It is not a good plan, in oll grotunl es pedant', that bas been plowed shallow for a number of years, to all at once bring seamed inches of subsoil to the surface in which to plant a, crop. And yet this meld not imply that if properly done deep plowing would not be more profitable. Either one or two plans ehould be followed : Tho plowing shonkl be deepened gradually, or, if plowed deep for the first time tho work should be done a considerable limo ahead, so as to give tho different elements time to act upoo the soil, If the land is plowed deep in the fall for the first time, usually by spring it wilt be in a fit condition for planting, or if plowed in spring it can be W0W11 ill the felt 13 ot some Selig $110111 a not be plowed ileep, even when this plan is followed ; while with others the deeper it is turned the bet- ter. The character of tho sail should largely determine the kind of plowing that should he done, Lindland that has been previously effitinted, if deep plowing is the best, sltoobd bo deepened gradually, turning up a little subsoil at each plowing, until a great depth has been stirred. Geeerally, if done prop- erly, deop plowing and shallow preparation told cultivation will be found the best ; and O deeply stirred soil will induee a more vigor. cos growth, while the plants will be able 10 stand moisture better than when only plowed shallow. So that when the char- acter of the soil will admit, the bettor plan is to plow deep and thorough, taking care to • tho work in good swan. The action of the light, heat, cold, rain, snow and air is to vendee available plant food that is already in the soil, and if the subsoil is brought to the surface in this way in sufficient time to be acted upon by these, the work can be done with benefit. But before plowing deep, understand the character of the son, and know that it will stand deep stirring. —Prairie Farmer. A Fooket Telephone, A 1st:mint telephone has been introduced in Berlin.
