Dr, Shaw, writing to the Medical Times fere \\'iter Cap, where poisonous enakee abeemd, says that during the past six years, in which he had followed out a method of cure for snake bite, he has not lost a oase. He gives sixty minims of aromatic spirits of ammonia hypodermically and an ounce of whiskey every two hours. A large poultice of bruised raw onions is applied to the whend and renewed every hour. The c. bisker end onions are continued until cure is efreeted, which is usually on the third day. "here can scarcely be a doubt of the com- plicity of jewelry houses in some of the great di Ana nd robberies. We well known London house was remarked to have made ara..zing strides not long after the robbery of the late Lady Elleameie'e jewels. The r ?nil of the jewelry stolen In England since ;g;'o would run up into hundreds of thou - winch' of pounds.

With the passing away of Vieconnt Ran- elagh, of which the cable brings word, an aceu tomed figure will be mis ed from Pall Mall and Hyde Park. In his youth ter be- longed to the D'Orsay set, and kept baeheler quarters for a long time with Jack Spalding Lord .Brougham's stepson. He had beenran officer in the Life Guards, and coq: ired no- toriety by his zeal for the cause ofDenCarket, in whose army he served with diet anise. Latterly he took an active part in the eel- nnteer movements, and was Ca neh of the Middlesex Rities and comm r.der of the brigade to which Col. Meplesonolieletige. For some years back he has been rgare_eti as an aged but well preserved roue. A. correspondent of a Western jece-:s1 says there is no sneer way of predicting a change in the weather than by ob=ezviag the habits of the snail. They do net drink, but imbibe moisture during a rain and ex- ude it afterwards, The animal fs never teen abroad except before a rein. The tree snail, as it is called, two days before rain will climde .rp the stem of plants, and if the rain is go- ing to bo a hard and long one will get on the ebeitered side of a leaf, but if a short rat= • on the other side, Then there are other species that before a rain are yellow, after blue. In other snails deep indentatioas, be- ginning at the head between the horns and ending v.ith the juncture of the tail, appear a few days before a storm. The story is again contradicted thatLord Tennyson received a special fee from Qaeen Victoria fir his lines on the Prfaceaa Bea- trice'e wedding. It would be just as reason- able to say that the royal chef reieived a special he for anperintending the details of tEe Princess's wedding breakfast. The Poet Laureate, like the royal chef, is a member of :he Queen's household, and, like hia cul- inary colleague, is paid for his services at an annual fixed salary, In Lord Tennyson's care this Seed salary is $1,600 per annum, which he has received since 1851, when he sueceer'ed Wordsworth. He is also in re- ceipt of a further proof of the royal favor in the shape of a butt of Malmsey wine, given in accordance with precedent. Singularly enough, examinations made of the painted windows so celebrated as works of artistic genius and ekill, of the old cathe- drals of England and Cout'nental Europa, show that their euperiority consists really in the inferiority of theglase, its richness in the poverty of its constitments, in the very perfection of its uneven thickness, and in the imperfections of its surface and its body, all covered, as they are, by the accumulating dust of ages, and honeycombed by the cor- roding effect of time. Like the facets of a diamond or rnby, each little waveand thread and blister becomes, by interference, refrac- tions, and reflection of the light whish plays open it, a new source of the gem -like brilli- ance, harmony, and beauty which disting- uish the painted glace of former centuries, The glass makers of America and England now aim to reproduce the perfection of this old glass by reproducing its imperfection. At Deggendorf, where the Danbnbe flows through a rich and beautiful valley, there ie & church upon whose wall a series of twenty-four paintings represents aomo re- markable events said to have occurred here. In the year 1337, the story goes, the Jews stole the sacred wafer (our host) from the church, They scratched It with thorns un- til it bled, and the visage of a child appear- ed ; they baked it in an oven ; they hammer- ed it on an anvil, of which the block l still shown ; they tried to thrust it down their throats, but ware prevented by the hands and feet of the child. Then, despairing of being able to destroy it, they flung it into a well, which was immediately surrounded by a radiant glory. The result of this story wee that the Deggendorfere, who owed largo sums of money to the Jewa, rose and traeaacred their creditor& instead of paying their debts. The prfeets applauded these doings, andever after showed the indeatruct ibis wafer, "1 hold in my hard," said Brother Gard- ner ae he opened the meeting, "a petishun from Mary Ann Johnson of Aliesouri, Sho waute to ba tookou into die club as a mem- ber, In rejeetin' her applicas'tun I deaiah to etato for de benefit of woman kind a fow ferule:no:1W bloke: 1, \\'crone ant good 'ma in her place.

THE INFIDELS Sir Isaac Walpole, who had been request- ed to investigate the it quiry : "It, infidelity spreading in this country ?" reported that be had made as thorough an investigation as time and eiroumstae,ces would permit, and would report: 1. Bob Ingersoll hasn't convinced over two nem in this country that there ie no Su- preme Being. 2 The flambee of people who don't want to feel that there is a land of torment for the wicked are, however, on the increase, 3. The class who beli.ve in Heaven but not in the other location is being added to daily, and the men who lends one of them half a dollar will never get it back. 4. The class who believe that nature is supreme while they are in health, bat ap- peal to the Lord as soon as sickness comas, is holding its own as to numbers. 5. That species of humanity which de- lights in c:iticiaing Christianity and dis- puting the apnstlea has picked up in num- bers during the last year, but the presence of the small pox along the Canadian border will doubtless make a change the other way this winter. ,rprR7 ems Serentil.

Penstock then called up the case of Elder Walkabout Smith, of Toronto.

Over fifty colored nien eat down at his festive b Lard and ale of the 'peewees be claimed to have imported di- rect from Virginia. Everything passed off in the pleasantest manner, but it was dis- covered next day that Elder S,rtith had sub- stituted muskrat for 'possum andporpetrat- ed a bald-headed swindle on his confiding countrymen. Complaint was at once lodg• ed against him with the Secretary of the club. Brather Penstock'e motion was promptly seconded by Shindig Watkins, and the President said : "De moahun prevails and de case am tooken from the table. It seems to me dat Elder Smith's crime am one of de blaokeat eber known on de records an' dat it 'calls fur condign punishment." "Am dar any w,ay fur us to git hold of him ?' asked Waydown Bebee, " I dean' epeck dar am." " Coaldn't we hev him arrested ober dar an' tried far piracy, arson, perjury or sun - thin' of dat sort ?" queried Elder Toots, " I duan' see how we kin.

The dread of the examination, of tho have 'men visit, the anxiety to gain a prize, or the thought of not being able to pails the ex. amination, so ail to leave the school to work for a livelihood, 1 as each had a share in the production of disease. Light, position, ventilation and proper warmth are osaontial to the health of child- ren, The home lessons have recently been made illegal in some purls of the States, and examinations are now less rigid general- ly, yet the code is still trio high, and as it is futile to imagine that all children oan be brought up to the eame level, the boasted one hundred per pent. of peewee is a strange thing. The headmaster or mistreas of every school ought to hev° the option of re- moving from examination at least seven per cont. of those who oan give their whole time to the school, and fifteen per cent. of all "half timers," Through nit the country the voices of managers, teachers and employers of labor bear witness to the diminished vigor and at- tenuated limbi of the children of our work- ing population, and ask if there is no way o (opening the eyes of our education then• rists to the bitter and terrible wrongs inflict- ed on the young. Near-sightedness is unknown among sav- age tribes. Bat more than half the child- ren in Germany suffer from defective vision, and, in some sahools, throe -fourths. Twen- ty par cent. of the boys; and from thirty to forty per cent. of the girls, were found to be tuffering from eurvacure of the spine 1 In the discussion whish followed the paper, Surgeon -Major Pringle said he was much struck on returning to England, after an absence of twelve years, to find en many boys and girls wearing spectacles. Dr, Drydale, of London, said that it was an axiom in his mind that children c,uld not be better educated than they were fed. The same principle might be applied to a proper amount of exercise. a Again, no ono should trust to a mere bo• o lief, however oonfidout, that ho arae boort n vaaoinated.

The immunity among the nurses and at- tendants of amall-pox hospitals above refer• red to ie due to the fact that every ono is re -vaccinated on entering. Medical Instruction in Schools, Such a thing would once have been looked on as absurd, In ancient times the doctor purposely invested his art with mystery. More or less of the same spirit and policy has come down to our own day. Still, both the tendencies and the actualities of things have greatly changed. Not only have other sciences laid richest gifts at the feet of medicine, but the latter has fully entered into their enlarged spirit, and accepted their more accurate methods of investigation. In short, medicine has itself, for the first time in its long hietory, become a science, We now understand as never before the nature and origin of epidemical diseases; their relation to bad surroundings in place and person ; the prominence of drinking in- fected water as a source of contagion ; the valve of di infectants, as distinguished from mere deodorizers, and which of them alone are absolutely reliable; the still greater dis- infecting power of pure air and,of sunshine. We have learned to fight with success a threatening epieemie by concentrating our force on the first solitary case, hedging it around by removal of the well from the sick, or the sick from the well, We understand, too, the importance of good house drain age, and the danger of poor plumbing. We also know that the air of the chamber is never better than the air of the cellar. We havo come to comprehend the possibility of stamping out the whole class of infectious diseases, The profession, to their honor, for it takes away their patients, is recogniz- ing the truth of the old maxim, " An ounce ot prevention is worth a pound of euro." Now all this has rendered it practicable to avail ourselves of our public schools in - prornoting the public health. This is al- ready being done in the States, For the last year medical inettuetlon has been given in the schools of Bangor, Me , with the result of preventing the spread of disease among the scholars. Says the .Medical Record, "The nature of the irstruction given is such that tho teachers are made watchful and careful in regard to their pupils, and often a so-called ' spunky' fit is seen to be really the precur- sor of an actual sickness. The practical in- auguration of such a plan of instruction is not a difficult matter. Vaccination. As a general rule, with some exceptions, one attack of an infectious disease protects from a subsequent attack. Hence come the protective power of cow -pox against small- pox, the former being only a modified form of the latter. That it does protect is plain —among other proofs—from the fact that in an important London emall•rox hospital not a nurse or an attendant has taken the disease during the last thirty years, But it ie not a complete protection. One attack even of small -pox may bo followed by a second. Hence a person who has been vaccinated should not needlessly expose himself. Indeed, a change from one olimate to another often endo the immunity. Vaccination is now general in England, and the great majority of thcss admitted to the small -pox hospital have been vaccinated ! It is not enough that a person oan show a vaccine scar ; it should be a good soar ; dh- tinct, depressed, with a well, or a tolerably well, defined edge. Of two thousand who died of email -pox at the hospital, about one- two'fth had a single indifferent scar. Nor is a single good soar enough. Of the same number, nearly four per cont. died having auoh a scar. Of ono thousand four hundred and forty-six having two good soars, about two per oent. died; while of five hundred and eighteen having three good soars, only about one per oent. ; and of five hundred and forty-four having four or more, alightly over ono -half of one per cent„ or one in two Value of Deep Breathing. Deep breathing and holding the breath is an item of impertanao, Portions of weak vitality find an uninterrupted succession of deep and rapid. respirations so distressing that they aro diecouraged from persevering in the exercise, Let auoh persona take into the lungs as much air as they oan at a breath, and hold it as long as they can, they will find a grateful souse of relief in the whole abdominal region. Praotioe will increase the ability to help the breath, and the capa- city of the lunge. After a time the art may be learned of packing the lungs. This is done by taking and holding the long breath and then forcing more air down the traohea by swallows of air. The operation may be described by that of a fish's mouth in water. Te those who have never learned it it will be surprising to what an extent the lungs may be packed. Caution at first is needful, but later practice will warrent large use of the treatment. The whole thoracic and ab- dominal cavities will receive immediate benefit, and continuance, with temperance in eating and good air and right exercise, will bring welcome improvemout, The Brave Tars of the Navy. "I was crossing the North Atlantic once in midwinter on a man-of-war," said a naval officer, "when one stormy afternoon we sight- ed a Norwegian bark showing signals of dis- tress. The most tremendoua 80158 wore run- ning that I ever saw, but we lowered away a boat and sent her to the bark. Sho flame back with the information that the bark was loaded with grain and had sprung a leak. The water had eaueed the grain to swell and had opened the seams of the veaael so that she was rapidly going to pieces.- The captain and crew wanted to be taken off, We ,ent two boats to the bark to take off the imperil- led crew. It was a most difficult and danger- ous task. Again and again it seemed as if the boats on the errand of mercy would be overwhelmed by the furious seas, but they were skilfully handled and after houra of toil and deadly peril, all except three of the sailor% were taken off the bark. It was now growing dark. The storm was increasing in fury and it was evident•that the bark could not live the night out. "Our captain celled all hands and made a speech telling them that three men were left on the bark, Ho said he knew Amerman sailors would never leave a fellow -being in distrosa, but that it was doubtful if any boat could get to the bark and book safely in the tieing storm and the gathering gloom. Then he called for volunteere to attempt the res- cue. Immediately there was a rush for the boats by every officer and man aboard the man -of war and the captain had to call for volunteers to keep people from rushing into the boats and swamping them. A boat's orew went off and brougat the three sailors back in safety." The Scattered Household, Oh 1 doeolate home, oh 1 fireleoe hearth, Oh 1 belle that re-echo no longer to mirth, I turn to thee, longing for faces once dear, And yearning for voices I nevermore hear. Thorn's sunshine to enter the shutterless pane, But, sunbeams, yourgloriouemission soems vain; For buds that here blossomed, and flowers that blocre- ed, Beneath the green grasses have long been entombed. The household is scattered ; their graVes lie apart, Its heirlooms all gathered and sold in the mart; Aud epidere a yell from the cornice have hung, To hide where rare portraits were years ago swung. The rust on the door -look has loosened its hold, The tlme•eaten hinges how noisily fold, And creaking as never before at my tread, le the worm-eaten threshold I cress with a dread. Tho broad, open fire•place, It welcomes me not, No ray from it brightens this desolate spot, Tho aehee are sodden, and cheerless and cold, No light theatre a shadow where all turns to mold.
