It should al ways be kept spotless, but the pre cautions should be redoubled it summer, wben there are so many more diseases prevalent and many things to cause them. In the country the temptation to to throw water about the doors and winddws soon brings about a sour, ill-smelling condition which should be corrected at once. There are so many refuse bits of fruits and veg etables which are often left to de cay al>out the yard, and the swill barrell is a serious matter: yet with lime, curbolic acid and diligence any woman may ha ve her premises as pleasant to smell as to see. Es pecially is this so in the country where each woman has only her own dirt, to contend with. Let us hope as our women read more those malodorous, greasy puddles about the kitchen window and doors will disappear along with the swill bucket swarming will) flies ami for incnting in the heat, Clean out ull such things, have no dnric holes or corners to accumulate rugs and all sorts of rubbish? have a big bonfire CLAYTON.

In the bushmen of Australia we find perhaps the lowest, order of men that are known. They are so primitive that they do not know enough to build even the simplest fosms of huts for shelter. The nearest they could approach to it ia to gather a lot of twigs and grftss, and taking them into a thick et or jungle, they build a <icst for n home, much ns does u bird. The n*l is usually built large enough for the family, and if the latter be very numerous the nests are of a very large size. Into this place they all turn and •nuggle and curl up together like «o man)' kittens. Sometimes the foliage will grow together and form a sort of a natural covering, but there is never any attempt at con structing a protection from the rain and storms, and it is marvel how they endure them. Where there is a particularly gqpd piece of jungle for home sites it will be quickly appro printed for the purpose, and some- > hundreds of these neats will be*found together in the bush, as it in called.

Amen.— More than^J25,000,000 grains of quinine havo been consumed by American soidiers during the past year. In some cases men who were in the hospitals in Cuba and Porto Rico used as much as 800 grains a week, and hardly any liayc failed to use the drug at, some period of their service. It is stated that the people of this country sonsume one-third of the quinine of the world, the drug being used in the preperutions ot many patent medi cines, tonic, bitters, cold cures, etc, as well as in pills and in bulk, and a considerabfe quanitY is consum ed in the manufacture of hair ton ics. The official figures in the 1 rensury Bcreau of Siatisticesshow there was imported last Year, into the United States, 1,585,066,750 grains of quinine, and as there was prnctiully no export of this article, this means that the consumption of quin.ne was about twenty grains for each inhabitant. As is well Known, quinine Peruvian bark and calisaya bark are the products of • the cinchona tree, which is a native western South America, more par ticularly in Peru and Ecuador, Now, however, but a small part of the supply comes from that region. At present two-thirds of the qui nine consumed is produced in Java For many years the Dutch government was urged to undertake the cultivation of this plant from Peru. Finally this was accomplished and a large number of specimens of the differ ent varieties were obtained by bot anists, who took them to Java m 1862. The English government also started cinchona plantations in India which now produce large quantities ot quinine.—Scien tific American. ^ ' J.,';-- ’* •
