TOPICS OF THE DAY. —Tho idea that lightning is not so destructive as it used to be in the United States, because the network of railroads and telegraph wires lessens the number of accidents, is met by the record of the summer. Fatal thunder bolts have never been more common. —Some of the reasons for distress in Ireland last year are shown in the statistics of crops gathered in 1881 and 1882. There was a decrease in all of the more important agricultural pro ducts, amounting in potatoes to nearly a million and a half tons. This de crease alone would account for a great deal of suffering. A well-posted treasury official gives it as his opinion that there are at least fifteen million trade dollars in the New York banks and depositories, and that before Congress meets the amount will be increased to twenty millions. He says that the syndicate of specula tors who have taken hold of the trade dollar will move on Congress with a powerful lobby next winter, and that there is $2,000,000 or $2,500,000 in the job if they can induce the government to legitimize the coin. The Medical Neirs says: "We have previously stated that it is improbable that cholera will reach the United States this year, but that it is an even chance that we shall have it next year. Since that opinion was published the danger has diminished very little, if any, and while there is not tho slight est occasion for panic, there is very urgent need of enforcing cleanliness, of looking to the purity of the water supply, and of great care in the ad ministration of our quarantine stations. The geographical limits of some o\. the world's great cities seem to War but little relation to the number of their inhabitants. New York now includes 111 square miles, or 26,500 acres; Faris, within the fortifications, consists of 281 square miles, or 18,315 acres; London has 122 square miles, or about 77,0(10 acres; Philadelphia, with a population of SIR), 000, has the sur. prisiug geographical area of 129 square miles—which is considerably more than is covered by London, even with all its modern additions of what were not long ago outlying and separate communities. The Christian at Work thinks it is a perfect marvel how some of the letters which fall into the puzzled hands of post-oflice officials ever reach their des nation. The "blind readers," as those are called who decipher hieroglyphics seem to be able to follow any clew, however slight it may be. and to find a person to whom a letter is addressed, even when the writer gives no intima tion. When a man who sees the words 'Signigic"s Hotel' can guess correctly that it means St. Nicholas Hotel, he has, indeed, a faculty for reading a superscription which consists of "nine hieroglyphics, five scratches, three dots, and a blot," and should hold his office for life. The business of condensing milk is likely to be a growing one, as it enables farmers at a distance from cities to get as good prices for milk as those who live near enough to supply them with fresh milk. Condensing milk is simply evaporating a portion of the water, which is its chief constituent, the milk being then sweetened with sugar for its better preservation. If it be used within a few days, the sugar is not necessary. In both cases, the condens ed milk, when to be used is diluted with water to the natural condition of good, rich milk. For ships' use or ex. pertation, this is the only way that milk can be safely or economically provided Sunlit Rooms. No article of furniture should be put in a room that will not stand sunlight for every room in a dwelling should have the windows so arranged that sometime during the day a flood of sunlight will force itself into the apart ment. The importance of admitting the light freely to all parts of our dwelling cannot be too highly estimat ed. Indeed, perfect health is nearly as dependent on pure sunlight as it is on pure air. Sunlight should never be uncomfortable to the eyes, and walks should be in bright sunlight, so that the eyes are protected by veil or para sol when inconveniently intense. A sun-bath is of more importance in pre serving a healthful condition of the body than is generally understood. It costs nothing, and that is a misfortune, for people are deluded with the idea that those things can only be good and useful which cost money. But remem ber that pure water, fresh air and sun lit homes, kept free from dampness, will secure you from many heavy bills of the doctors, and give you health and vigor, which no money could procure. It is an established fact t hat people who live much in the sun are usually stronger and more healthy than those whose occupations deprive them of sunlight. And certainly there is noth ing strange in the result, since the same law applies with equal force to nearly every animate thing in nature. It is quite easy to arrange an isolated dwelling so that every room in it may he flooded with sunlight some time in the day. and it is possible that many town houses could be so built as to .ad mit more light than they now receive. THE FAMILY DOCTOR. SIMPLE ELIXIR.—A very pleasant vehicle for the administration of medi cines which are to be given in solution is prepared by mixing together two (hiid ounces each of orange-flower water and simple syrup, adding half a fluid ounce of alcohol to preserve, and coloring with two drachms of com pound tincture of cardamons. This will be found of service to the coun try physician who is obliged to dis pense his own medicine. A NATIONAL LACK. —Dr. Selden 11. Talcott, superintendent of the New York state homoeopathic asylum for the insane, says that our national lack is fiat of recuperating sleep. Against the use of the so-called hypnotics in massive doses he protests, because the temporary benclits aro heavily dis counted by the evil efferts which al most always follow. Two conditions oppose the requirements of sleep. These are hypenemia cf the brain— stimulating it to undue activity, and playing the part of a whip and spur to a tired horse— the opposite of hypenemia. excessive cerebral amentia. To relievo the former by rational methods, the blood forces must be en ticed away from "their persistent as saults upon the cranial fortress." This can best be accomplished by tilling the stomach with solid food, thus "furnish ing temporary engagement for the pugilistic globules on other tields." The food should be of the coarsest and plainest, else the remedy might produce an aggravation. Should ex' cessive aniemia exist, and a state of nerve irritability and trepidation be thus produced, take liquid foot!, such as hot milk, beef tea, and broths, about an hour before sleep is intended. This is of peculiar value to persons of sed vLiary habits, to those who take too little exercise, and to those who suffer from imperfect circulation. Sleep may usually be obtained, after a hard and irritating day's work, by a warm bath, a cold douche, and a brisk rub bing following that, just previous to retiring fur the night. Fresh air should be freely supplied in every sleeping room; yet the sleeper should be protected from even moderate draughts; for these, though apparently slight at first, will produce chilliness of one poition of the body, while an other may be overheated, and thus a disturbing inequality of circulation ensues. Beds should be firm in tex ture, level, and well elevated from the floor, for thus complete circulation around the bed is secured. Tarring n Rat. Rats are wonderfully cleau animals, and they dislike tar more, perhaps, than anything else, for if it once gets on their jackets, they find it most dilli culfc to remove it. Now, 1 had heard it mentioned that puuring tar down at the entrance of their holes was a good remedy, also placing broken pieces of glass by their holes was another remedy. But these remedies are not effective. The rats may leave their old holes and make fresh ones in other parts of the house; they don't, how ever, leave the premises for good. I I thought I would try another experi ment—one I had not heard of before. One evening I set a large wire-cage rat-trap, attaching inside a most seductive piece of strongly smelling cheese, and next morning I found, tc my satisfaction, that I had succeeded in trapping a very large rat, one of the largest 1 had ever seen, which, after J had besmeared him with tar. I let loose into his favorite run. The next night I tried again, and succeeded in trap* ping another equally big fellow, and served him in the tame manner. ] could not follow these two lar-besmear ed rats into their numerous runs, to see what would happen ; but it is rear sonable to assume that they either summoned together all the members of their community, and by their crest fallen appearance gave their comrades silent indications of the misfortune which had so suddenly befallen them ; or that they frightened their brethren away, for they one and ;dl forsook the place and fled. The experiment was eminently successful. From that day in 1875 till now, 1883, my house, ancient though it is, has been entirely free from rats; and I believe that there is no remedy equal to this one, if you can catch your rat alive. They never come back to the house again.— Chambers' Journal. Naming a Lake. Years ago, it was discovered that a certain lake which had long been con sidered the head of the Mississippi, had no claim to that honor. The explorers found a new and smaller lake from which the great river took its rise. A discussion arose as to what name would be appropriate for it. The story is that it was decided in this way: "Let's make a new name by coining a word," said an old voyager. "Some of you larned ones tell me what is the Latin for true." "Y r eritas," answered a scholar. "Well, now, what is Latin for head?" "Caput." "Now write the two words together by syllables." The scholar wrote on a strip of birch-bark, "Veritas caput." "Read it." The five syllables were read. "Now drop the first and last sylla bles and you'll have a good name for v...is lake." And "Itasca" it was. LA I KS i NEWS. I LONDON.
