Prof. Lkidy tins lately mado micro
scopical examination of tho blood of tho
lost victim in a herd of cows owned hy a
farmor in Balom, N. J., where llur: had
been soveral deaths. Tho animal was
well to appoaranci, milked ai u-ttial at
evening, ami died tlio next morning.
Tlio blood from the spleen was found
teeming with balcrle of the form known
bacillus' antlirnx. They were inure
numerous thau tlio blood corpinclou
Tho first thought is that milk sent to
market a feiv hours before such death
must carry tho bacilli, onpable of giving
contagion, to which a medioal journal
adds: “If the fat from the carcasses of
suoh animals Hods its way to the nearest
oleomargarine manufactory—os this sub
stance is rendered only nt o temperature
under 120° by the patent now supremo—
wo leave our readers to draw their own
conclusions respecting tlio results when

tho death point of bacilli is far above
120.”

The Palm Tree.
There are districts of Tinnevelly, tat

and sandy tlmt it is surprising anything
will grow. Yet whore tliii nowdory red

an immense height, aud tho trees in the

without substance, when the only shado
is Hint cost hy these branchless trees from
their narrow crowns of leavos, when the
only olouds nro clouds of dust, “ when
tlio streams nro dry tind tli<t»wells aro ex

only beds of glowing sand," there is the
singular spootnole of those stately trees
llowiug continually with their fountains
of sweet water, [low is it passible? we
often asked. Bishop Culdwoll, whose
house lies oloso to such n desert, tried to
answer Hint question for himself. Ha
dug into tho ground to observe the

Tho riddle won solved; and any one may
feel what a new beauty it gives to tha
comparison boro. Tho roots of tha
GlirisUnn life sink down into tha living
waters. They aro fad from tha peren
nial fountains of the Spirit far out of
sight. And the service and freshness of
Hint life, nnd nil the influences that flow
from it, do not depend on wlint we see,
for the soil where such n life grows is

upon the roots striking down among the
