They flower in Apriland May, and later produce the frsit, in the shape of «a pod, from twdre to .eighteen laches long, containing tram two to throe hundred plumose seeds, one of which is represented in the cot in its natural sire.

La Nature tells fchatlhe seeds have long been nsedbytfce uative* of Africa in preparing poison tor their .arms. The active principle of the plant Is a glucoride known as strophanth in. JStrophanthin is one of the most powerful poisons kuswn. The action of the poison seems to be especially directed to the heart aud«ther voluntary and involuntary muscles, but does not seem to alj^t the nerve* or spinal cord.

Such powerful agsnt is of islue as a heart tonic and diuretic. Dr. Bucquoy, of Paric, claims that tlu-ro is

Mortality In Kew York City.

jAooording to a report upon the mortality of New York city for 1888 by Dr. Tracy to the board of health it appears that the general tenement death rate was 28.71, while the general death rato of the city was 26.83. In a word, the results of the investigations are summed up as follows by Dr. Tracy: "The death rat* in tenement house* is toss than the general death rate of the city. The death rate in the large tenement houses is less than in the smaller ones. While diarrheal diseases and diphtheria show a greater'death rate in the larger houses, phthisis and pneumonia show very little difference, that difference, however, being in favor of the larger bouses. The greatest general death rate among persons over 5 years of age, the next to the highest death rate from diarrheal diseases and puoumonla, and markedly the highest from phthisis, are in the district south of Fourteenth street and west of Broadway. The exceasivo mortality in this part of the city is probably connected with the great number of old house* and the dampneft of the soil. These results ore much at variance with what was expected."

The Pressure of the Atmosphere*

The pressure of the atmosphere is transmitted in all directions. It, like any other mass of fluid, mtsft necessarily transmit its preamire in all direction*, upwards and laterally as writ as downwards. The following experiment furnishes an Illustration of this

A tumbler full of water is carefully covered with a sheet of paper, which to kept to position by otte band, while with the other the tumbler is inverted. Removing tben toe hand which held the paper, the water does not fall out, both water and paper being kept in position by the upward pressure (Fig. 2).

The tantesian wells of Dakota are, perhaps, Hu most remarkable examples of their kind which have-ever been opened, both as regards the pressure and the volume cf the escaping wmter. More than 100 wells, from 5(J0 to 1,000 feet deep,.are at present in successful operation in the district north, of Yankton, and th«y yield a oonstant stream of water, which is apparently never affected by any of the sarmunding influences. The pressure of the water to abnormally high in many instances, astd up to 180 .pounds per-square inch has been registered by gauges. The power is mHUmJ la the mora important itowns for water enppf for protection from fire and for driving machinery, and a very considerable saving is effected by the adoption of hydraulic apparatus in place .«f the steam engine. In the town of Yankton, for instance, there is a vary large turbine which operates a tow mill by day and an electric light, plant by night, and it is .driven entirely by water obtained In manner.

TbejrAtep Circulation.

Tight collars, besides belqg extremely uncomfortable while worn, wfc injurious in other ways. Professor Dir. Forster, director of the University Ophthalmic Clinique at Brealau, Germany, boa drawn the attention of parents and pedagogues to what be ibeIieves is often the caaae of noeirrfghtedneaa In the young—namely, that they are allowed ,to wear collars that are too tight for them. Jm 300 cases that had coma under his notice the patients were suffering from a chnonic complaint, brought on by a disturbance in the regular and normal flow of blood caused by the wearing of collars which were not large enough. It to now understood that many puzzling headaches are dns to overstraining the eyes and defective vision. In such cases a skillful ooallst may give permanent relief by removing tho cause of straining, or providing glasses to remedy the defect of sight.

"What's a FogT*

la an'interesting letter to Science, H. A. Hateau of Washington, gives some interesting and valuable particulars respecting the properties and nature of fog. Ha says that it is admitted that fog to simply cloud composed of water dust or solid minute spheres of water from 1-7,000 to 1-1,000 of an inch in diameter. Many have supposed that a dust partiole most be the nucleus for each sphere, but an examination under the microscope of evaporated fog has proved that such is not the case. Briefly stated, the cause of fog to as follow*: It is essential that there be no wind. The sky most bo clear. Tho air must be saturated or nearly so. The formation of fog is a pqrely mechanical process, unaccompanied with heai

An authority on manners and customs says that tho first instance of throwing tho hat occurred whon Pollux throw Castor in the ring. Coming down to historic times, it is probable that tho hat is tho prise fighter's substitute for the ancient knightly gauntlet—tho gage of battle. Tho sponge, during the fight, is used to refresh the fighter it's a conspicuous object, always at hand, and throwing it up signifies that tho fighter has no further use for ft.

Color Blindness.

In a paper read before the Kansas Academy of Science at Levwuworth the following interesting statements were made: About four out of every hundred males aro more or less deficient in color sense. Of females reported as examined in Eoropo and America 3 per cent, were color blind.

Most cases of color blindness are found to be congenital, and are incurable. Many have been produced by disease), some by violent conclusions In accidents, and some by exoes sto usfe of tobacco and alcohol.

The bert way to enter the water fa to sub,«erge oat's self entirely ao that the whole body head may be immersed at once, for this prevents the upward rush of the blood that causes the disagreeable headache ami giddiness for which the young bather efften does not know how to account. After swim—tng in fresh water dry yourself well before resuming your clothes. A little gentle exer.cise after the bath to usefuL Do not bathe, especially in ponds, after storms and heavy .rains. The middle of the day, when the hot -•nn darts down its rays perpendicularly on the water, is not a favorable time for a swim ilf you can, bathe at a regular hoar every tay,-either in the morning, or in the after •noon or evening, when the sun to declining but never after a full meal The water is warmer in the evening than in the morning.

This is Important to be remembered by those who are subject to cramp, or who suffer from .cold, iDo not remain too long in the water in general, half an hour is sufficient. Run-ning-streams and rivers are better for bathihig «n4jwHmming purposes than ponds and peols?thickly overshadowed by trees. Choose for your swimming ground a place with a sandy or .pebbly bottom.

AT THE 8KASIDK.

When a person heeomes.a good swimmer he gradually dispenses with set rules. But a beginner finds himself much assisted by a few simple rules easily remembered and easily applied. The following jare given for this purpose: 1. Slow and steady. 3. Back of bead on shoulders. 8. Sptote well hollowed. 4. Take breath between theatrokes.

Those who have been accustomed to fresh water do not always know how to manage the waves when they first try sea bathing. The force of waves to often sufficient to take a

rnn"

fairly off his feet and throw him at full length into tho water. Then, before he can recover his footing, he is caught by another wave, and again rolled over. Several instances have been known where a per«s has thus been drowned in shallow water.

Now there is but little difficulty in getting the better of a wave, if one only known how to (do it. Carefully watch the advancing wane, and if it does not reach above the level of ihe eyes, leap upward as it begins to lift. Thus the wave will pass under the feet, and go o* tta way harmless. If, on the cdntrarv, it nhi^H come on with a great roar and raw, like a mountain of water, stoop down, leaning forwards to the wave, and let it pass over. These directions are for one Who cannot swim.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Aooadents Caused Daring the Bathing Seateon by Ignorance or Indiscretion.

The bathing season year by year exacts a fatal tribute from the ignorant and indiscreet. Of a young man recently drowned, it to told that be entered the water soon after partaking of a hearty tqp&l, and the fatal resalt was attributed to cerebral congestion (effusion of blood in or upon the brain), due to sodden immersion at such a time. Thfa case suggests to Medical Classics some causes of accidents which are apt to be overlooked, end it therefore considers briefly why the practice of bathiag after meals or when fatigued to justly oondemned.

A natural result of odd immersion at this stage to to

encourage

or induce a tendency to

syncope, to concentrate surface blood still more about the central organs, including the heart, which, especially if at all unequal to Its duties, labors ineffectually to readjust the blood pressure, and finally succumbs, with lungs auid venous system engorged by passive congestion. It to as if an enemy occupied the outworks of a fortress left for a time unguarded, and forthwith paralysed the resistance of the citadel. It is best, therefore, to wait for at least an hour and a half or two hours after a good meeil before bathing. Another danger to be avoided is that of cramp. This is particularly apt to occur after severe exercise or long immersion. The effect of cold heiwp to prolong the contraction, while exhaustion lowers both the power arid the elastic recoil of muscle, it is evident that we have in a combination of these forces all that to required for the production of this dangerous condition. The obvious warning implied in these remarks requires no further admonition to impress the fact that the bather in cold water mast be economical of time and free from any appreciable signs of muscular exhaustion.

Moral—L Dent bathe just after a meaL & Don't bathe when fatigued. Digest and rest, and then bathe.

An hour before noon and before going to bed are the best times to bathe. The average duration of the bath should be from five to ten minutes for children, fifteen minutes for women, and but little longer for men. To delay much beyond these periods is a pernicious practice, inviting debility «nd injury. How often one sees, in a stroll along a popular sea beach, groups of drenched, miserable objects, with blue lips, chattering teeth, and wrinkled clammy skin, who have been spending half a morning in alternately plunging into the waves and walking about, dripping, in the cool air. They return from what should have been an invigorating dip in a oonditdon approaching collapse. Such abuse of sea bathing is, unfortunately, too common, even among those who have sought the seaside for the improvement of Impaired health s?k,

8mall But Annoying Complaints.

Greasy faces indicate poor circulation in the rest of the skin, according to Shirley Dare, who advises for them hot baths, friction of the body, and thorough treatment by a saturated solution of camphor in alcohol, with which the face should be frequently wet, allowing it to dry on.

A good remedy for damp hands is eau de cologne four ounces, tincture of belladonna half an ounce, the hands to be rubbed with the mixture several times a day while, for the feet, one part of salicylic add and five parts of powdered starch, sprinkled on the sole of the stocking, to said to be beneficial.

Milk Diet for the Nerves.

Many brain workers and others of highly nervous temperament are troubled with inwmnia, nervous twitching* and sensation^ of foiling. A dietetic cure recommended for this trouble is milk, and, if the patient can limit himself to milk alone, one pint at a time, taken four times daily, to the prescribed quantity. The milk used should be up to (he standard if it is not, cream should be added to it People with weak nerves, as

rule,

drink but very little water, whereas they usually require a larger quantity than those whose nerves are strong and not easily shaken.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

At the Table—Some Hints IfiaS Stmy Be Useful to tho Uninitiated.

The dd maxim, "Eat at your own table a* you would at the table of a king," can hardly be bJttered

as a

rule for table manners, and

it may be added that should one unaocustomed to ceremonious repast* happen to be at the table of any social dignitary, he has In general only to keep calm, observe what others do and quietly conform himself as far as possible to the prevailing manner of host and other guests, In order to appear at least without diKredit to himself.

There are, of course, oertain rules, familiar to the Initiated as household words, that should always be otwerved and that furnish the solid foundation on which ontf who ia striving to acquire a pleasing and polished manner must build. As every ooo has not bad the advantages of earhr training, it to well to note the** small but aO Important point*. First foremost among them to, "Never be late to dinner." Then seat yourself properly tn an easy and convenient attitude, neither a foot from the table, so that yoa most bend over and stoop your head to get sach mouthful, nor jammed up stiffly against it. Do not refuse to take soup, but never ask for It twice remember also that It should betaken fnxn tbeside—not the end—of the spoon, and be sure not to eat it with a hissing or gurgling sound, than which nothing to more obtrusively bred. Do not cut your bread with your knife, nor butter tbe slloe aqdbite tato it, but break off small pfeoes with tie fingers. 1„.

When cue to helped to a plate or dish of anything it to the modem way to keep it, not to pass It along to SHIM one else and tt to dtoo the modern fashion to leave toe knife and fork oo the plate when nut for a aeooud helping, though in a course dinner it rarely ocQur* that qpe eeks to bp helped fwtce.

A Bit of History.

Victoria, queen of Great Britisu and empress of India, to the niece of William IV, who was the brother of George IV, who was the son of George III, who was the grandson of George II, who was the son of George I, who was tbe cousin of Queen Annie, who was the sister-in-law of William III, who waa the son-in-law of James IX, who was the brother of Charles II, who was tbe son of Charles I, who was the son of James I, who was the cousin of Elizabeth, who was the sister of Mary, who was the sister of Edward IV, who was the son of Henry VIII, who was the aon of Henry VII, who was the cousin of Richard III, who was the uncle of Edward V, who was the son of Edward IV, who waa the cousin of Henry VI, who was the son of Henry V, who was the cousin of Richard II, who was the grandson of Edward II, who was the son of Edward I, who was the son of Henry m, who was tbe son of John, who was the brother of Richard I, who was the son of Henry II, who was the oousin of Stephen, who was the oousin of Henry I, who was the brother of William Rufus, who was tho son of William the Conqueror.

She Waa Tired.

Another little one, who is very fond of going out walking with her father, was token the other day a greater distance than usual, and although she heroically tried to keep down any evidence of weariness, lest it inter fere pith futureopjortunities for these pleaf nut pt-destrian trips, still could not blind the parents watchful eye to the fact that she was tired. However, questioning could not bring out the confession the parent desired, and so, changing the form of his query that he might entrap tbe little one into tho ad mission that she was tired, he asked: "Well, Lillie, if you dont feel tired, just tell mo how you do feeL" "Oh, I'm not much tired, papa," was tbe reply, "but I would jes' like to take off my leg* an* carry "em a whilesBoston Budget.

She was in the last stages of consumption, told by physicians that she was incurable and could live only a short time she weighed less than seventy pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper she read of Dr. King's New Discovery, and got a 8ampie bottle it helped her, she bought a large bottle, it helped her more, bought another and grew better fast, continued its use and is now strong, healty, rosy, plump, woighing 140 pounds.
