This plainly demonstrates that with the same systematic breeding that is necessary to develop a var- iety, it cannot only bo maintained, but IMPROVED INDEFINITELY by successive breeaers, provided the breeding is done where the soil and clinta.te conditions are most con- genial for the highest perfection of the plant.

Every Englishman likes to think himself, a good shot, though not ()V- ery ono is willing to take the trouble to learn the art. It was in pursuit of information on this subject that a correspondent re- cently visited the Shooting School at Blagden Woods, Surrey, England, whore' the young, the middle-aged, and the old who leave had no sport- ing education to speak of arc taught low to handle a gun olTccLivoly. To begin with, the average man cannot expect to shoot with a gem that does not lit him, though some men seem to bo born shots, and are able to shoot to a certain extent with alinost any gun after a little practice, simply because they are quick to discover the peculiarities of the weapon and to make allowance for them. li_ •1 THE NOVICE AND T1113 EXPERT. Most men, however, need to have a gun that fits them, and for this pur- pose an adjustable try -gun is used at the school, Lhc stook of which, by an ingenious series of screws,' can be so extendedandmodified in shape as to• meet exactly any natural peculiari- ties in the sportsman. Being provided with a suitable weapon, the, most important point is then to learn how to toe the various shots that may present. themselves, and this is usually ac- quired at the cost of long experience and the expenditure of no small amount of anununitiou. By means of artificial birds throwa from traps, every variety of shot can be intro- duced -10 the learner. It has to be remembered that as no true sports- man shoots winged game while sit- ting', he must snake allowance for the fact that the object at waich he aims is moving more or loss rapidly, In the case of, a fast crossing bird, pos- sibly going at the rate of forty utiles an hour, it isobvious that the sportsman must aim Considerably in front .of it, otherwise by the time he has pulled the trigger, the cartridge has been exploded, and the shots have travelled through the air, the bird will be a long way ahead of the spot at which aim Was taken.

A Manchester coroner, two years ago, held an inquest over a wealthy gentleman, who was certified to have died of starvation,.. Ho was a victim of quackery. Any doctor will tell you that a day or two's abstinence from solid food' is an excellent cure for some forms of indigestion. The Nfanehoster gentleman had fallen in- to the hands of a quack, who had starved him until the poor man had lost morn flesh than he could afford. Hundreds of people die yearly from similar causes. The latest euro craze is the hot-air bath for rheu- matism ; and, under proper advice, and with reasonable precatrtions,. it is A MOST USEFUL REMEDY. But when the patient has a weak heart, and the heat is excessive, it kills more often than it cures. The heat applied is so tremendous that the perspiration hisses in steam through cracks in tho jacket which surrounds the patient. Putting a mar into a temperature at which mercury becomes solid 10 another of theso fashionable but dan- gorous experiments. The patient stands 111 a well, and by chemical means the air around itirn is reduced to 110 degrees below freezing point —that is far colder than tho worst Winter temperature of tlta Arctic regions. This is an indigestion cure, and also useful for consumption, The case of )firs.

Thousands of women have stilled themselves in trying to improve their complexions, A shoe assistant at Southsoa, England, upon whom an inquest was geld a little while ago, was cea•titled to have drunk nearly a half pint of vinegar a day to make herself look pale and interesting.

Regular 'dosesof etunphor . begin by stupefying the tracer,. and' extreme weakness follows, accompanied by constant longing for sleep. The coinplexion, instead of improving, becomes dead -white, and: the end, as usual, is death. Seventy deaths are said to be at the door ofa man 20110 calls himself Professor Coley, and who claimed to to bo the inventor of the distilled - water cure for dyspepsia. Distilled water has, ofcourse, no natural salts in it, and, though harmless in ,small amounts, produces gastric ea, that'll. if taken for ally length' of time. Coley made much money ' by tho sale of distilling apparatus . in England, and then escaped to 'Am- erica.
