AVe have also a lull line of Trapping a T.grcs. She was captured about nine months ago, in obedience to an order sent to India by Mr. Bsiche for one of her kind. A tiger track was found in the jangio leading to the reedy banks of a river. A pit about twenty feel deep was dug in the path and covered over with brunches of tree and brushwood. The natives then concealed themselves, and at nirlit the tigress, going down to the water, crushed through the covering, and lay, p irtially stuuned and wholly helpless at the bottom of the pit She was allowed to lie there for a week. Tue luouth of the pit was again closed and for seven days she lived in dark- ness without food or wutcr. Such treatment very often ki.ls a tiger but it is the only known method of redncing tUein from the stale of savage frenzy succeeding their capture to anything like submission. When at last the coverings were again removed the then untamed Fanny was found to be anything but subdued. Siie Was. however, weak, aud hur furi- ous bounds to reach thu mouth of the pit were short :it first and grew shorter with every effort. Thou the natives began to angle lor her. It was linrd and dangerous fishing, but slowly noose after noose was dropped around her body, her fore legs were drawn tightly to her sides, and she was pulled up at last firmly bound aud powerless. Other cords were thrown around her. and with her feet in the air and her back down, she was lashed to bamboo polos, and carried by a score of men to the place of embarkation. She had very little life left in her when she was placed on board ship aud dispatched to Germany. When she landed iu Europe, howev- er, she had quite recovered, and Mr. Keichu. who is living in Germany, was delighted with her iippoarauue.

Several years ago iu walking along, the half submerged fringing reef of tho Tortngas group of islands, my atten- tion was attracted by numbers of great, black, worm-lik- e creatures that were" strewn over the bottom within llm breakers, where the water was smooth. They were Hololivrianx. or Wishing to secure a largo speci- men. I hauled my boat over among thciu, and soon had one more, than a foot in length in the glass jir. or port- able aquarium, carried for that pur- pose. Another was lifted from its sandy bed for examination, and a cm ions creature it was. It seemed like a great, grotesque caterpiller. made out of leather and stuffed with waler. as tho handling caused it to j el two streams of water with considerable force. Af- ter placing it upon tho seat of the boat, we found that the creature had ejected all its interior organs actually thrown them off. This would have been a grievous calamity to almost any ani- mal except the but cu- riously enough, they have the faculty of producing lost parts to a wonderful degree, and if placed back in tlie waler would soou provide themselves with an entirely new set If we should follow up our investiga- tions of the anatomy of the seacucum-bc- r we should find that it breathes by what is called a water-vascul-ar system.; In the star-lis- h a hard red spot is seen upon the upper surface, punctured with minulo holes. Through this wa-t- e is straiued and taken in, passing out into the arms and filling the sac- -, like feet In the there is a similar arrangement only the niad-repor- ic plate, as the pink sieve is call- ed, is on the inside. Though rertainly not gourmands,' starvation affects them iu aremarkablo way. Thus, if kept a long time with- out food, a ring will be formed about the tail that grows deeper aud deeper, uu i it finally the piece drops off. In a short lime another ring appears and another piece is sacrificed a most re- markable operation, you will say. but quite iugciiious when we understand iu The animal is merely retrenching, and, as the food supply becomes small- er and smaller, portions of tho body arc thrown off. so that there will not lo .io ranch t foeil, until, at last, the will sacrifice it.s entiro bodv to save tho mouth, or head, and finally this dies, cerlaiiiU' after a heroic struggle. But, while we have been looking at other what has happen- ed to llio one we placed in the glass jar? Being a ge animal, it soon ex- hausted the air iu the water, and is now endeavoring to get out twisting its body deliberately about to show its discomfort for you must remember thai the and all other water nuimals require air just as much as ourselves. For a few moments the writhed about in its lazy fashion, when, all at once, out of ono end I saw peep- ing a curious, duiicato head. A moment later it was still further out a transparent, shining fish, and soon, with a convulsive wiggle, it freed itself from its strange prison aud swam about a momeul; theu it settled to the bottom. Its body was so delicate and trans- parent thai priut could almost be read through is and a specimen that I havo before me now, though shrunk and hardened in alcohol for several years, is still almost like glass. How did the fish get into the you will ask. This was, at first a puzzle, and to ascertain whether it was accidental or not, we collected a large number of the cucumbers, (Holo-tlntri- it floridiana) , and in nearly every case, as soon as the animal had ex- hausted the air in our aquarium, tho silvery, eel-li- ke f'ierusfcr for this is the fish's name would come wiggling out swim about a moment as if dazed and bewildered, and then sink to the bottom and die-- It was evident that the fish was not eaten by the Holothuriau. and equally plain that the tisii was hot adapted for the outside world. Hence, we assumed that tho Fierasfcr was a boarder iu the cucumber, and such is really the cose. But though I made many experi- ments, the fish could never bo induced to return to its home, though freshly aerated water was constantly supplied. The explanation that seemed the most tcnaulc was that the lish never left tho l.oluiiiiirian; but this was high- ly improbable, and so the puzzle re- mained unlii it was solved by the curator of ihc great aquarium at Na- ples, Italy. He found that his were also inhabited by a Fierosfer, aud by carefully watching them he saw the fishes come out, and return. In the large tank thu fishes ventured out swam around, probably fed. and finally returned; and here is the most remarkable thing about it. Instead of returning head first as you would nat- urally expect, the Fierasfcr slipped.not its head, but the lip of its tail into tho orifice. In a moment tho or re- laxed to draw iu water, and the cun- ning fish slipped in an incli, then rest- ed; another relaxation by the cucum- ber, and another inch gained, and so on until, to the amazement of the Ital- ian naturalist, the Fierasfcr disappear- ed, tail first within the very accommo- dating animal. The Fierasfcr, then, is a boarder in the a tenant that not on- ly lives upon its host without pay, but does not hesitate to attack it when hungry. This has been proved by Prof. Semper, who found pieces of tho water-lun- g of the living hotel in the stomach of llie boarder; but, as wo have seen, the former has the power of reproducing lost parts, and probably does not suffer. The boarder undoubt- edly feeds upon the fired taken by its host I'rof iloUlcn in Ooklcii Jliys.

Si to York Mail, The Fruit Claimed to Be a Panacea . , to I be Disease. The eighth sessioa-o- f -i- heJnter-national Medical Congress has just been held in Copenhagen. Through the enterprise of the Aledical Record, a synopsis of the proceedings and a few of the most important papers in full have boen received by telegraph." The paper of greatest scientific and popular interest to the American peo- ple is that read by Professor Conrad Tomassi Crudeli. of the University of Rome, Italy, and entitled "The Natural Production of Malaria, and the Means of Making Malarious Countries Health- ier." Professor Crudeli has devoted years to the scientific study of malaria, and is without doubt the highest authority on the subject His conclusions are, therefore, entitled to great weight. He repudiates utterly the paludal theory of malaria, that is. that malaria is exclusively produced by the putrid emanations of swamps aud marshes. On the contrary, he finds that it is pro- duced in soils of the most varied com- position, without the presence of any pulrefactiou whatever, aud is due to tho presence of a specific living vege- table gerou This germ, may exist in soils without poisoning the atmos- phere, remaining inert lor years, even for centuries, retaining its vitality, however, and becoming active only when certain necessary couditions are, present. These conditions, thu con- currence of which is indispensable for; the production of malaria, are threo- in number, viz.: A teraperaturo which does not fall below C7.5 tlegrees Fahrenheit; a very moderate degree of permanent humidity of the soil, ami the direct action of the oxygen of the air upou the strata of earth coulaiuing the malarial ferment. Such being the factors iu the c:ise, what can be done to remove one or more of them and thus render malari- ous regions more salubrious? In the first place nature makes localities healthy during certain seasons by tak- ing away the factor of heat there beiug less malarial infection in Winter than iu Summer. But this menus is obviously beyond the reach of man, nor is it at all certain that it would lie eff. ctive in this country, if within his reach, for every physician has noted the fact that while malarial diseases prevail to a less degree in frosty wealh- - joses occur, even in niid winter. The second means of prevention con- sists in depriving the ground of iu moisture, by some system of drainage, by cultivation of plants and trees which consume a large amount of water in their growth, or by the de- struction of dense forests which pre- vent the rays of the sun reaching and drying the soil. Much hope was placed in the eucalyptus treo as a means of extracting moisture from the grouud. but the experience with it in Italy, at least, is not encouraging. The third method of purification is to prevent the direct action of the oxy- gen of the air upon the infected strata of soil. This has been successfully accomplished by tho system of over- laying, which consists in covering the infected ground with thick layers of uninfected earth, at the same time em- ploying thorough systems of surface and under-groun- d draiuago. Regions about Rome, heretofore malarious, have been benefited by macadamizing and turfing the ground. In districts where malaria prevails in a pernicious form it is dilliuult to carry out large works of improvement, which take tiiuo for their accomplish- ment such as the forced cultivation of the soil, because of the sickness of th laborers. Professor Crudeli has there- fore been devoting the last few years to a search for means to increase the power of resistance of the human organism to the attacks of malaria. Acknowledging tho great value of quinine and arsenic, as preventive and curative, he has still sought to discov- er a cheaper, harmless and yet effec- tive remedy, and this he believes he has found in the ordinary lemon. He does not claim the discovery as origin- - al with himself, or indeed with any: physician, but candidly acknowledges' the remedy to be of popular origin,) and, with true scieulihc spirit, seeks, knowledge not only in the exact re- -' searches of the laboratory, but also in the every-da- y experience of common He advises that a decoction of fieoplc. be made as follows: Cut up one lemou. peel and all. into thin slices, put into three glassfuls of water and bull it down to one glassful. Strain the liquid through linen, squeez- ing thoroughly tho remains of boiiod lemon, and set it aside to cool. Drink tho whole amount when fasting. As the decoction possesses cathartic prop- erties the dose should not bo repealed too frequently, nor more than once a day, or every other day, according to individual susceptibility. Whether the decoction of lemon will prove to be of permanent value can only be determined by extended ex- periment. It is claimed for it that it is especially efficacious in the chronic forms of malarial poisoning, which are no longer relieved by quinine. As the roniedy is cheap and' innocuous it will probably receive almost universal trial. especially as it is recommended by such eminent authority. It is to be borne in mind, however, that malarial mani- festations are not exactly the same in different countries aud in different in- dividuals, aud that a medicine curative in Italy may be less so here. It is to be hoped that the subject will receive such careful study that the exact type of malarial poisoning- - to which it U adapted may become known and accu- rately dc lined.

Some of tho most dreaded have no existence.

And, Dr. Andover. can you bear some pleasant news? I received a telegram in return stating that Miss Everleth would start at once to come to you. Now that is the tort of girl to make a man a good wife. She will probably be here to- day." 1'o-da- v! Doctor Andover listened to kind - Mrs. Derby in bewilderment What did it all mean With trembling fingers he tore off the wrapper of the tiny package, and opened a jeweler's case. There upon its bed of purple lay a wide, gold finge- r-ring, extraordinarily wide, the in- side of which was completely covered with fine lettering. Aud Dr. Andover read slowly, through bliud rapturous tears, the words which the jdweler's in- strument had traced there the grand old Scriptural words which had arisen in the heart ot thu girl, who thus proved herself worthy of him, when Lis letter had eotue to her after many weary days of delay: "Entreat me not to leave theo, or to return from following after thee; for whither thou roest I will go, and where thou lod st I will lodsre; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God; where thou diest 1 will die, and there will I be buried; the Lord do so to me and more also, if aught but death part me and thee." Mrs. Derby slipped out of the room, crying herself, at the sight of Dr. And- over, usually so calm and strong aud d, crying like a ld baby, over Maud's Christmas token. It was nearly noon when Maud her- self came. She bad removed her wraps in Mrs. Derby's room, and after a light tap on the sk-- mau's door she entered. Alexander Andover had thought her lovely in her exquisite party aud car- riage and home toilets; but never had she seemed so sweet aud gracious and womanly as now when in her plain gray traveling: costume, her lovely face a Ijl'le pale with weariuess aud excite-rneu- t her ulouth tremuloiis-an- d . her., dark eyes glowing with a solemn light she glided In her swift, uoiseless way across the room to his side. "My darling! My own, sweet true-heart- ed darliug!" cried the1 doctor, clasping both arms about her aud draw-lu- g her face down to his owu. And presently, after the first greet' ing was over, Maud explained: ' ''Your letter was delayed in some way. I did not get it until a week ago. You remember the great piece of gold you sent me from California two years agoF Well, when I got your letter. I took that gold to a jeweler, and had it made into a ring. And then after I received Mrs. Derby's telegram 1 made uncle promise to bring me to you at once. I would have come alone if he had not come with me, horrible and unconventional as my fashionable friends would have called me. Why, Alexander, what a silly butterfly you must have thought me! Do you thiuk I would care for riches without you? And do yeu think I am good for noth- ing but to dance the Gorman and play tlie-pian- o I assure you. sir." and here she doubled one small, white hand in a threatening manner under his very nose "this hand which you consider so weak and useless can make most delicious bread and pies and cakes; can even make bods and sweep, and wash dishes. Aunt Alice never neglected the most important part of my education, and I am sure I shall make a most excellent wife for a poor man. That is, Alexander." and here she flushed up gloriously "if you will have me." Dr. Andover smothered the last words against his shoulder, and as soon as she could free herself from his un- ceremonious embrace she began anew to coax and wheedle him into somo new plan of her own. to which he at first objected, but finally yielded, The result was that at five o'clock that af. ternoon Maud Everleth was made Dr. Alexander Andover's wife, and at once asserted her authority by taking upon herself the duties of a nurse. Of course under such treatment ue recovered rapidly, and every day grew to appreciate more and more the loy alty and worth of the sweet little wo- man who had not failed him in his dark hour.

Pacon Bodkin's daughters, Saman-th- a and Martha, baye for ft long time watched with longing eyes the young ladies who frequently pass and repass, seated in the beautiful and fashionable dog-cart- s. 'They are jiwt too lovely for any- thing," said &.twaulua, - "We must tease pa to buy us a pony aud a cart" 'Indeed we must" assented M-trt- a, "What on airth do you gals want of one er them stuck-u- p sorter things" inquired the Deacon.

"Wall, wall." said the .Deacon, "of you two gals will jest stop talking long enouarh for me to take a nap I'll think about It" A few days thereafter a beautiful lit- tle white pony made its appearance in the stable. 'Now. gals," said the Deacon, "1'ye got the boss, but you'll have to wait a day or two for the cart. Dou't go to beiu' oneasy now. He'll keep, I'll warrant ye." The Deacon had scarcely left the house before tbo two young women led the pony out into the back yard and were admiring bis beauty. - "I do really believe I could ride him," said Samautha.

May we em or the unknown land named Heaveu from the beautiful land of dreams. THE MODERN KUTH. Dr. Alexander Andover threw him self into the big leather-covere- d chair bi fore his office fire with a weary aigtu He was a fine-looki- ng titan of thirty; not handsome, but noble and manly- - looking; one to be trusted forever, with his broad, white brow and grave, clear gray eyes. His lips, too, under the full brown beard were as fine as wo man's, without lacking in strength and firmness. Dr. Andover'a patients especially the poorer class and the children turned to him instinctively for advice and sympathy. His was one of those grautl. kingly natures wlucli aeetu made for leader mid comforter. Jruor old lietly Gary, a bed-ri- d Jeu paralytic. could nut apeak of miu without shed- ding tears of gratitude. Little Jane Ellis, suffering with an incurable hip; disease, looked upou him as a sort of god upon earth. There 'were a score more who thought of mui not only as their physician, but as a kind and treu- - erous friend, who delighted to brighten the lives which would otherwise be poor ana tiarren enough. JJut fate had lately frowued upon him. . In the first place, the bank in which the greater part of his snug lit tle fortune was deposited had failed, and directly upou this oanie the news that some mining slock in which he bud invested was worthless, or neany so. 1 ue doctor did not - tear poverty himself bis practice brought hint a comfortable income, for the rich ap- preciated hiiu as well as the poor but miles away in a distant city tuere was lovely crirl whom lie had hoped to call wife by Christmas time. A girl who, though not weiWlby herself, had been extravagautly educated by her uncle, in whose luxurious home she lived. Ue knew that not the slightest privation had ever come to her; she was a petted darling, with hands like a baby's. He had never questioned if she kuew anything about work the idea in connection with Maud Everleth was absurd. He had been able to take her to a home as fine as thu one she would loavo, but that was gone now. Lovely, dainty, useless as she seemed. Dr. Andover had poured the whole passion of his great heart out upon tier; aud yon are not to think him weak because just at first, when the news of his ne came to hitu. he shrank and trembled under it, thinking of the girl he loved. For he must give her up; there was no doubt iu his mind about that He could not ask her to hare the fate of a poor physician who depended upon his fees for living. He even smiled grimly in the midst of his suffering at tbo thought of Maud in a calico dress, mixing up bread or washing dishes with her white, slender fingers, which he bad only seen toying with her fan, working embroidery, or dasbins: over the keys of a piano. So Dr, Andover had writen her a brave farewell letter, lust a month be- fore the time set for their wedding, In- forming her of his altered fortunes,, and releasing her from her engage- ment to him, and he had received no answer, although it was now Christ-wa- s week. Tba doctor was worn out with ex- posure to rough weather and many sleepless nights. The demand upon his time and strength had been greater than usual, yet ho had replied to them all, never failing in kindly courtesy beside the couch of Betty Cary any more than in the luxurious chamber of Madam Golddust. who feod hint so generously. It was Christmas week, and Maud was to have been his own next Friday night. This thought tortured him un- ceasingly, together with some words in a letter which had reached him a few days before; a letter from an ac- quaintance who was visiting in the city where Maud lived. "I met your 'iiauce' at a party last evening," he had written. 1 admire your choice. She was the brightest, loveliest there, and the most graceful dancer." Dr. Andover experienced a cruel sense of desolation as he turned that sentence over and over inT his mind. Mfcdd had not loved him. after all. She could be gay and bright when they were forever separated! The office fire snTouldered to ashes, and still he sat there, still and sad, un- til from sheer exhaustion he fell into an uneasy slumber.' About midnight he awoke, alternately burning and shivering, while a dull pain throbbed in his temples. The doctor's apartments were com- modious ami comfortable. A large chamber opened from his private office, which latter opened from a large rec- eiving-room. He was his own patient now, so he hastxed to bed; aud wheu his land- lady came iu the morniug to call him, she found him unable to rise from his i pillow, feverish aud half delirious. , I Christmas uioruiuir came bright and frosty a day after St Nicholas's own heart aud the doctor, a trifle better, although weak aud". languid, opened his eyes to close them again Imme- diately with a litllo pang. This was to have been his wedding day! He could bear the merry salutations on the street the clash of sjuigh-bell- s, and the pealing organ from St Paul's ; church over the way; aud the sunlight and mirth and gladness made his own pain seem the keener just for a mom- ent, until bis geuerous heart cou.d gather strength to reassert itself, aud be glad because others were glad. The landlady, who had been like a mother to him, came iu presently with a very smiling expression upon her broad face.

A little praise, or word of hope, or a cheerful smile something for the hun- gry soul to grasp and the weary mind to rest upon, as we climb the toilsome mountain of life-Ho- w many poor hearts have sunk into despondency, when a little en- couragement would have reassured them! How many have taken their lives in the hour of despair, when a friendly hand stretched out with aid mirbt nave saved them! The child looks to the mother for help and encouragement when it is taking its first step in walking. The school-bo- y looks for encouragement from his teacher, when he is taking his first step in education. And so on through life. The soldier looks for it ou the field of battle; it is the cheering voice of his leader that urges him on through the dangers of death and crowns the day with vic- tory. 'The poet and the artist look to the world to acknowledge their genius and give them praise. It is encouragement which calls forth their noblest words and helps them to climb tho mount of fame until theysurmount all difficul- ties and write their names in flaming letters upon its summit Then let us give encouragement to each other in every effort of good, in every noble action; in the little duties of life and we will be happier for it; the world will be better; and a smiling Providence will look down and bless our labor of love.

ago, in obedience to an order sent toIndia by Mr. Bsiche for one of her kind.A tiger track was found in the jangioleading to the reedy banks of a river.A pit about twenty feel deep was dugin the path and covered over withbrunches of tree and brushwood. Thenatives then concealed themselves, andat nirlit the tigress, going down to thewater, crushed through the covering,and lay, p irtially stuuned and whollyhelpless at the bottom of the pit Shewas allowed to lie there for a week.Tue luouth of the pit was again closedand for seven days she lived in dark-ness without food or wutcr. Suchtreatment very often ki.ls a tiger but itis the only known method of redncingtUein from the stale of savage frenzysucceeding their capture to anythinglike submission.

When at last the coverings wereagain removed the then untamed Fannywas found to be anything but subdued.Siie Was. however, weak, aud hur furi-ous bounds to reach thu mouth of thepit were short :it first and grew shorterwith every effort.

She hadvery little life left in her when she wasplaced on board ship aud dispatched toGermany.

A Seaside Hoarder who Lives on SeaVOucnmbers.

Several years ago iu walking along,the half submerged fringing reef of thoTortngas group of islands, my atten-tion was attracted by numbers of great,black, worm-lik- e creatures that were"strewn over the bottom within llmbreakers, where the water was smooth.They were Hololivrianx. or

Wishing to secure a largo speci-men. I hauled my boat over amongthciu, and soon had one more, than afoot in length in the glass jir. or port-able aquarium, carried for that pur-pose.

Another was lifted from its sandybed for examination, and a cm ionscreature it was. It seemed like a great,grotesque caterpiller. made out ofleather and stuffed with waler. as thohandling caused it to j el two streamsof water with considerable force. Af-

ter placing it upon tho seat of the boat,we found that the creature had ejectedall its interior organs actually thrownthem off. This would have been agrievous calamity to almost any ani-mal except the but cu-

riously enough, they have the facultyof producing lost parts to a wonderfuldegree, and if placed back in tlie walerwould soou provide themselves with anentirely new set

If we should follow up our investiga-tions of the anatomy of the seacucum-bc- r

we should find that it breathes bywhat is called a water-vascul-ar system.;In the star-lis- h a hard red spot is seenupon the upper surface, puncturedwith minulo holes. Through this wa-t-e

is straiued and taken in, passingout into the arms and filling the sac- -,

like feet In the there isa similar arrangement only the niad-repor- ic

plate, as the pink sieve is call-ed, is on the inside.

Though rertainly not gourmands,'starvation affects them iu aremarkabloway. Thus, if kept a long time with-out food, a ring will be formed aboutthe tail that grows deeper aud deeper,uu i it finally the piece drops off. In ashort lime another ring appears andanother piece is sacrificed a most re-markable operation, you will say. butquite iugciiious when we understandiu

The animal is merely retrenching,and, as the food supply becomes small-er and smaller, portions of tho bodyarc thrown off. so that there will notlo .io ranch t foeil, until, at last, the

will sacrifice it.s entirobodv to save tho mouth, or head, andfinally this dies, cerlaiiiU' after a heroicstruggle.

But, while we have been looking atother what has happen-ed to llio one we placed in the glassjar? Being a ge animal, it soon ex-hausted the air iu the water, and isnow endeavoring to get out twistingits body deliberately about to show itsdiscomfort for you must rememberthai the and all otherwater nuimals require air just as muchas ourselves.

For a few moments thewrithed about in its lazy fashion, when,all at once, out of ono end I saw peep-ing a curious, duiicato head.

A moment later it was still furtherout a transparent, shining fish, andsoon, with a convulsive wiggle, it freeditself from its strange prison aud swamabout a momeul; theu it settled to thebottom.

Its body was so delicate and trans-parent thai priut could almost be readthrough is and a specimen that I havobefore me now, though shrunk andhardened in alcohol for several years,is still almost like glass.

How did the fish get into theyou will ask. This was, at

first a puzzle, and to ascertain whetherit was accidental or not, we collected alarge number of the cucumbers, (Holo-tlntri- it

floridiana) , and in nearly everycase, as soon as the animal had ex-

hausted the air in our aquarium, thosilvery, eel-li- ke f'ierusfcr for this isthe fish's name would come wigglingout swim about a moment as if dazedand bewildered, and then sink to thebottom and die--It

was evident that the fish was noteaten by the Holothuriau. and equallyplain that the tisii was hot adapted forthe outside world. Hence, we assumedthat tho Fierasfcr was a boarder iu thecucumber, and such is really the cose.

But though I made many experi-ments, the fish could never bo inducedto return to its home, though freshlyaerated water was constantly supplied.

The explanation that seemed themost tcnaulc was that the lish neverleft tho l.oluiiiiirian; but this was high-ly improbable, and so the puzzle re-mained unlii it was solved by thecurator of ihc great aquarium at Na-ples, Italy.

He found that hiswere also inhabited by a Fierosfer, audby carefully watching them he saw thefishes come out, and return.

In the large tank thu fishes venturedout swam around, probably fed. andfinally returned; and here is the mostremarkable thing about it. Instead ofreturning head first as you would nat-urally expect, the Fierasfcr slipped.notits head, but the lip of its tail into thoorifice.

In a moment tho or re-laxed to draw iu water, and the cun-ning fish slipped in an incli, then rest-ed; another relaxation by the cucum-ber, and another inch gained, and soon until, to the amazement of the Ital-ian naturalist, the Fierasfcr disappear-ed, tail first within the very accommo-dating animal.

The Fierasfcr, then, is a boarder inthe a tenant that not on-

ly lives upon its host without pay, butdoes not hesitate to attack it whenhungry. This has been proved byProf. Semper, who found pieces of thowater-lun- g of the living hotel in thestomach of llie boarder; but, as wohave seen, the former has the power ofreproducing lost parts, and probablydoes not suffer. The boarder undoubt-edly feeds upon the fired taken by itshost I'rof iloUlcn in Ooklcii Jliys.

The eighth sessioa-o- f -i-heJnter-nationalMedical Congress has just

been held in Copenhagen. Throughthe enterprise of the Aledical Record,a synopsis of the proceedings and afew of the most important papers infull have boen received by telegraph."The paper of greatest scientific andpopular interest to the American peo-ple is that read by Professor ConradTomassi Crudeli. of the University ofRome, Italy, and entitled "The NaturalProduction of Malaria, and the Meansof Making Malarious Countries Health-ier."

Professor Crudeli has devoted yearsto the scientific study of malaria, andis without doubt the highest authorityon the subject His conclusions are,therefore, entitled to great weight.He repudiates utterly the paludaltheory of malaria, that is. that malariais exclusively produced by the putridemanations of swamps aud marshes.On the contrary, he finds that it is pro-duced in soils of the most varied com-position, without the presence of anypulrefactiou whatever, aud is due totho presence of a specific living vege-table gerou This germ, may exist insoils without poisoning the atmos-phere, remaining inert lor years, evenfor centuries, retaining its vitality,however, and becoming active onlywhen certain necessary couditions are,present. These conditions, thu con-currence of which is indispensable for;the production of malaria, are threo- innumber, viz.: A teraperaturo whichdoes not fall below C7.5 tlegreesFahrenheit; a very moderate degree ofpermanent humidity of the soil, ami thedirect action of the oxygen of the airupou the strata of earth coulaiuing themalarial ferment.

Such being the factors iu the c:ise,what can be done to remove one ormore of them and thus render malari-ous regions more salubrious? In thefirst place nature makes localitieshealthy during certain seasons by tak-ing away the factor of heat therebeiug less malarial infection in Winterthan iu Summer. But this menus isobviously beyond the reach of man,nor is it at all certain that it would lieeff. ctive in this country, if within hisreach, for every physician has notedthe fact that while malarial diseasesprevail to a less degree in frosty wealh- -

joses occur, even in niid winter.The second means of prevention con-

sists in depriving the ground of iumoisture, by some system of drainage,by cultivation of plants and treeswhich consume a large amount ofwater in their growth, or by the de-struction of dense forests which pre-vent the rays of the sun reaching anddrying the soil. Much hope was placedin the eucalyptus treo as a means ofextracting moisture from the grouud.but the experience with it in Italy, atleast, is not encouraging.

The third method of purification isto prevent the direct action of the oxy-gen of the air upon the infected strataof soil. This has been successfullyaccomplished by tho system of over-laying, which consists in covering theinfected ground with thick layers ofuninfected earth, at the same time em-ploying thorough systems of surfaceand under-groun- d draiuago. Regionsabout Rome, heretofore malarious,have been benefited by macadamizingand turfing the ground.

In districts where malaria prevailsin a pernicious form it is dilliuult tocarry out large works of improvement,which take tiiuo for their accomplish-ment such as the forced cultivation ofthe soil, because of the sickness of thlaborers. Professor Crudeli has there-fore been devoting the last few yearsto a search for means to increase thepower of resistance of the humanorganism to the attacks of malaria.Acknowledging tho great value ofquinine and arsenic, as preventive andcurative, he has still sought to discov-er a cheaper, harmless and yet effec-tive remedy, and this he believes hehas found in the ordinary lemon. Hedoes not claim the discovery as origin- -al with himself, or indeed with any:physician, but candidly acknowledges'the remedy to be of popular origin,)and, with true scieulihc spirit, seeks,knowledge not only in the exact re- -'

searches of the laboratory, but also inthe every-da- y experience of common

He advises that a decoction offieoplc.be made as follows: Cut up

one lemou. peel and all. into thinslices, put into three glassfuls of waterand bull it down to one glassful.Strain the liquid through linen, squeez-ing thoroughly tho remains of boiiodlemon, and set it aside to cool. Drinktho whole amount when fasting. Asthe decoction possesses cathartic prop-erties the dose should not bo repealedtoo frequently, nor more than once aday, or every other day, according toindividual susceptibility.

Whether the decoction of lemon willprove to be of permanent value canonly be determined by extended ex-

periment. It is claimed for it that it isespecially efficacious in the chronicforms of malarial poisoning, which areno longer relieved by quinine. As theroniedy is cheap and' innocuous it willprobably receive almost universal trial.especially as it is recommended by sucheminent authority. It is to be borne inmind, however, that malarial mani-festations are not exactly the same indifferent countries aud in different in-dividuals, aud that a medicine curativein Italy may be less so here.

.posed she had sent you a Christmaspresent lue package came two daysago when yon were delirious, and Isigned the registry-car- d and madebold to send the lady a telegram, noti-fying her of your illness." And, Dr.Andover. can you bear some pleasantnews? I received a telegram in returnstating that Miss Everleth would startat once to come to you. Now that isthe tort of girl to make a man a goodwife. She will probably be here to-day."

1'o-da- v! Doctor Andover listened tokind - Mrs. Derby in bewildermentWhat did it all mean

With trembling fingers he tore off thewrapper of the tiny package, andopened a jeweler's case. There uponits bed of purple lay a wide, gold finge-

r-ring, extraordinarily wide, the in-

side of which was completely coveredwith fine lettering. Aud Dr. Andoverread slowly, through bliud rapturoustears, the words which the jdweler's in-

strument had traced there the grandold Scriptural words which had arisenin the heart ot thu girl, who thusproved herself worthy of him, whenLis letter had eotue to her after manyweary days of delay:

"Entreat me not to leave theo, or toreturn from following after thee; forwhither thou roest I will go, andwhere thou lod st I will lodsre; thypeople shall be my people, and thy Godmy God; where thou diest 1 will die,and there will I be buried; the Lorddo so to me and more also, if aughtbut death part me and thee."

Mrs. Derby slipped out of the room,crying herself, at the sight of Dr. And-over, usually so calm and strong aud

d, crying like a ld

baby, over Maud's Christmas token.It was nearly noon when Maud her-

self came. She bad removed herwraps in Mrs. Derby's room, and aftera light tap on the sk-- mau's door sheentered.

Alexander Andover had thought herlovely in her exquisite party aud car-riage and home toilets; but never hadshe seemed so sweet aud gracious andwomanly as now when in her plaingray traveling: costume, her lovely facea Ijl'le pale with weariuess aud excite-rneu- t

her ulouth tremuloiis-an- d . her.,dark eyes glowing with a solemn lightshe glided In her swift, uoiseless wayacross the room to his side.

"My darling! My own, sweet true-heart- ed

darliug!" cried the1 doctor,clasping both arms about her aud draw-lu- g

her face down to his owu.And presently, after the first greet'

ing was over, Maud explained:' ''Your letter was delayed in some

way. I did not get it until a week ago.You remember the great piece of goldyou sent me from California two yearsagoF Well, when I got your letter. Itook that gold to a jeweler, and had itmade into a ring. And then after Ireceived Mrs. Derby's telegram 1 madeuncle promise to bring me to you atonce. I would have come alone if hehad not come with me, horrible andunconventional as my fashionablefriends would have called me. Why,Alexander, what a silly butterfly youmust have thought me! Do you thiukI would care for riches without you?And do yeu think I am good for noth-ing but to dance the Gorman and playtlie-pian- o I assure you. sir." andhere she doubled one small, whitehand in a threatening manner underhis very nose "this hand which youconsider so weak and useless can makemost delicious bread and pies andcakes; can even make bods and sweep,and wash dishes. Aunt Alice neverneglected the most important part ofmy education, and I am sure I shallmake a most excellent wife for a poorman. That is, Alexander." and hereshe flushed up gloriously "if you willhave me."

Dr. Andover smothered the lastwords against his shoulder, and as soonas she could free herself from his un-ceremonious embrace she began anewto coax and wheedle him into somonew plan of her own. to which he atfirst objected, but finally yielded, Theresult was that at five o'clock that af.ternoon Maud Everleth was made Dr.Alexander Andover's wife, and at onceasserted her authority by taking uponherself the duties of a nurse.

Of course under such treatment uerecovered rapidly, and every day grewto appreciate more and more the loyalty and worth of the sweet little wo-man who had not failed him in hisdark hour.

She K-xl- the Pony.

Pacon Bodkin's daughters, Saman-th- a

and Martha, baye for ft long timewatched with longing eyes the youngladies who frequently pass and repass,seated in the beautiful and fashionabledog-cart- s.

'They are jiwt too lovely for any-thing," said &.twaulua, - "We musttease pa to buy us a pony aud a cart"

'Indeed we must" assented M-trt- a,"What on airth do you gals want of

one er them stuck-u- p sorter things"inquired the Deacon. The pesky thing'llrun away with ye, likelv's not"

"Oh! no, pa, we can drive him. Now,please do say yes," cried both maidensin unison, till importunity won.

"Wall, wall." said the .Deacon, "ofyou two gals will jest stop talking longenouarh for me to take a nap I'll thinkabout It"

A few days thereafter a beautiful lit-

tle white pony made its appearance inthe stable.

'Now. gals," said the Deacon, "1'yegot the boss, but you'll have to wait aday or two for the cart. Dou't go tobeiu' oneasy now. He'll keep, I'llwarrant ye."

The Deacon had scarcely left thehouse before tbo two young womenled the pony out into the back yardand were admiring bis beauty. -

"I do really believe I could ridehim," said Samautha. "I mean to tryit, anyway."

"You haven't any saddle, or habiteither. Suppose somebody should seeyou." warned Martha,

"Who is there to sue but you?"- - ask-

ed Samantha, as she led the pony upto the door-ste- p, and, grasping themane, mounted Hian-fashiou- ."

The pony sprung forward and dash-ed around the yard as in a ring, at thetop of his speed. Samantha screamedand clasped her arms abouttbe neckof the animal, and used ail her powersof persuasion to induce him to ceasehis performance. But all to no pur-pose. . Round and round be went tillsuddenly he turned with a whirl andplunged toward tuegate. snrioxsoinor-ro-r

Shriek after shriek rent theair and the deacon, who was quietlywending his way to his office, glancingabout, saw the flying steed and itsrider.

"Mercy's sake," said he, "I'd ortertold the gals I bought that pony fromthe cirous man."

THE MODERN KUTH.

Dr. Alexander Andover threw himself into the big leather-covere- d chairbi fore his office fire with a weary aigtuHe was a fine-looki- ng titan of thirty;not handsome, but noble and manly- -looking; one to be trusted forever, withhis broad, white brow and grave, cleargray eyes. His lips, too, under thefull brown beard were as fine as woman's, without lacking in strength andfirmness.

Dr. Andover'a patients especiallythe poorer class and the childrenturned to him instinctively for adviceand sympathy. His was one of thosegrautl. kingly natures wlucli aeetumade for leader mid comforter. Jruorold lietly Gary, a bed-ri- d Jeu paralytic.could nut apeak of miu without shed-ding tears of gratitude. Little JaneEllis, suffering with an incurable hip;disease, looked upou him as a sort ofgod upon earth. There 'were a scoremore who thought of mui not only astheir physician, but as a kind and treu- -erous friend, who delighted to brightenthe lives which would otherwise be poorana tiarren enough.

JJut fate had lately frowued uponhim. . In the first place, the bank inwhich the greater part of his snug little fortune was deposited had failed,and directly upou this oanie the newsthat some mining slock in which hebud invested was worthless, or neanyso. 1 ue doctor did not - tear povertyhimself bis practice brought hint acomfortable income, for the rich ap-preciated hiiu as well as the poor butmiles away in a distant city tuere was

lovely crirl whom lie had hoped tocall wife by Christmas time. A girlwho, though not weiWlby herself, hadbeen extravagautly educated by heruncle, in whose luxurious home shelived. Ue knew that not the slightestprivation had ever come to her; shewas a petted darling, with hands like ababy's. He had never questioned ifshe kuew anything about work theidea in connection with Maud Everlethwas absurd. He had been able to takeher to a home as fine as thu one shewould loavo, but that was gone now.

Lovely, dainty, useless as she seemed.Dr. Andover had poured the wholepassion of his great heart out upontier; aud yon are not to think him weakbecause just at first, when the news ofhis ne came to hitu. he shrankand trembled under it, thinking of thegirl he loved. For he must give herup; there was no doubt iu his mindabout that He could not ask her tohare the fate of a poor physician who

depended upon his fees for living.He even smiled grimly in the midst ofhis suffering at tbo thought of Maudin a calico dress, mixing up bread orwashing dishes with her white, slenderfingers, which he bad only seen toyingwith her fan, working embroidery, ordasbins: over the keys of a piano.

So Dr, Andover had writen her abrave farewell letter, lust a month be-

fore the time set for their wedding, In-

forming her of his altered fortunes,,and releasing her from her engage-ment to him, and he had received noanswer, although it was now Christ-wa- s

week.Tba doctor was worn out with ex-

posure to rough weather and manysleepless nights. The demand uponhis time and strength had been greaterthan usual, yet ho had replied to themall, never failing in kindly courtesybeside the couch of Betty Cary anymore than in the luxurious chamber ofMadam Golddust. who feod hint sogenerously.

It was Christmas week, and Maudwas to have been his own next Fridaynight. This thought tortured him un-ceasingly, together with some wordsin a letter which had reached him afew days before; a letter from an ac-

quaintance who was visiting in the citywhere Maud lived.

"I met your 'iiauce' at a party lastevening," he had written. 1 admireyour choice. She was the brightest,loveliest there, and the most gracefuldancer."

Dr. Andover experienced a cruelsense of desolation as he turned thatsentence over and over inT his mind.Mfcdd had not loved him. after all.She could be gay and bright whenthey were forever separated!

The office fire snTouldered to ashes,and still he sat there, still and sad, un-

til from sheer exhaustion he fell intoan uneasy slumber.' About midnighthe awoke, alternately burning andshivering, while a dull pain throbbedin his temples.

The doctor's apartments were com-modious ami comfortable. A largechamber opened from his private office,which latter opened from a large rec-

eiving-room.

He was his own patient now, so hehastxed to bed; aud wheu his land-lady came iu the morniug to call him,she found him unable to rise from his i

pillow, feverish aud half delirious. ,I

Christmas uioruiuir came bright andfrosty a day after St Nicholas's ownheart aud the doctor, a trifle better,although weak aud". languid, openedhis eyes to close them again Imme-diately with a litllo pang. This was tohave been his wedding day! He couldbear the merry salutations on thestreet the clash of sjuigh-bell- s, andthe pealing organ from St Paul's ;

church over the way; aud the sunlightand mirth and gladness made his ownpain seem the keener just for a mom-ent, until bis geuerous heart cou.dgather strength to reassert itself, audbe glad because others were glad.

The landlady, who had been like amother to him, came iu presently witha very smiling expression upon herbroad face.

Many of his grateful patients hadremembered him with some littleChristmas token, and Mrs. Derby hadplaced them upou the stand at his bed-side; but now ah held in her hands amall package addrasaud to bin in a

Encouragement is something that wenaturally look for.

A little praise, or word of hope, or acheerful smile something for the hun-gry soul to grasp and the weary mindto rest upon, as we climb the toilsomemountain of life-Ho-

w

many poor hearts have sunkinto despondency, when a little en-

couragement would have reassuredthem! How many have taken theirlives in the hour of despair, when afriendly hand stretched out with aidmirbt nave saved them!

The child looks to the mother forhelp and encouragement when it istaking its first step in walking. Theschool-bo- y looks for encouragementfrom his teacher, when he is taking hisfirst step in education.

And so on through life. The soldierlooks for it ou the field of battle; it isthe cheering voice of his leader thaturges him on through the dangers ofdeath and crowns the day with vic-tory.

'The poet and the artist look to theworld to acknowledge their genius andgive them praise. It is encouragementwhich calls forth their noblest wordsand helps them to climb tho mount offame until theysurmount all difficul-ties and write their names in flamingletters upon its summit

Then let us give encouragement toeach other in every effort of good, inevery noble action; in the little dutiesof life and we will be happier for it;the world will be better; and a smilingProvidence will look down and blessour labor of love. Adelaide E. Troom,in SL Louis Magazine,
