A good bed for the pigs on a cold night is an important factor in raising them. The hog is not as hardy as some animals, so far as enduring severe cold is concerned, and very young pigs will quickly succumb on a cold night. They get their warmth by nestling close to their dams, and when the bed is soft. dry and warm the animal beat is re tained and the pigs will be more com fortable.thus avoiding loss of the weaker ones.

On heavy soils this loss is not so rapid.

For a little brain with many deep folds may really, when spread out, have a larger surface than a large brain with fe shallow folds, and a so-called bump or elevation ou the apparent surface of the organ, even it H produces a corresponding elevation on the head, which it frequently fads to do, will indicate nothing regarding the number of folds or the depth of creases which lie about It, so that it may be stated without hesitation that from the size and shape of the head no conclusion whatever can be made as to the extent or surface of the bram, and, consequently, no conclusion can Le reached regarding the mental capacity."

Wbile the women of tbe working classes in this country are often addicted to dos ing themselves witb tea that has etood too lon, it appears that tbe working men's wives at Essen drink coffee from morning till night. Some consume over a pound of Ceylon coffee weekly, and one pound contains over sixty-four grains oi' caffi:e. In constquence, iiervous. muscular, and circulatory disturbam es are frequ nt. The nerve symptoms are characterized by a feeling of general weakness, depression of spirits, ai d aversion for labor even in industrious subjects, with headache and insomnia. A stroij dose of coffee causes tbe tem porary disapiearauce of a!l the lyinp toms. 'ihe muscular symptoms con sist of distinct muscular weakness, and trembi'ng of the hands even duriug rest. Tlie circulatory symptoms are niatked by a small, rapid, irregular pulse and feeb'e impulse of theajiexof the heart. Palpitations and heaviness in the precordial region are frequent. The bauds and feet feel veiy cold, and the complexion becomes sallow. Ds peptic symptoms, chiefly of the nervous type are very common. These coffee drinkers cannot be cuied by simple ab stention from their favorite drink, with si.bstition of milk as a beverage. They require rest from work, ojen-air exer cise and cold ablutions, followed by friction. litre is a simple apiaratus for obtaiu ng an electric spark: llound the center of a common lamp chimney is pasted a sirip of tinfoil, and another strip from one end of the chimney to within a quarter of an inch of this ring.

Tn r)ia rl ivL- l i-;.ri.t electric epaik may be seen to pass from one piece of tinfoil to the other each time the brush is withdrawn from the chimney. Mis.
