There was a strange I'ar-olTness when they next met. It appears from a paper read before u pharmaceutical society that one of the reasons for the low price of quinine lies in the fact that the cinchona trees are no longer destroyed in the harvesting. The eld plan was to cut them down and strip off the bark when they wore ten years old. Then the idea was adopted of tearing off’ long strips and filling the bare places with moss. The present method is to scrape off the outer layer of the bark, the portion richest in quinine, and this does not interfere with the growth of the tree. The bark is scraped half around at one operation, the other half being scraped six mouths afterward. The process ngiy lie repeated year after Blondin, the famous rope-walker, wishes to return to America and do some high feats, but bis agent, now in New. York, finds that the law would prevent a repetition of the Niagara or any lesser peril. A net would have to he spread .• underneath his rope, and that would de stroy the cash value of the performances. A bargain was completed with the man agers of a Coney Island resort for a Blon din season next summer, but a call on the District-Attorney elicited a promise that the net law should surely be enforced. Blondin is living in London at the age of 62, jmd of late year- lia~ walked the rope in Europe; in consequence of having lost much of his property l>y unfortunate in vestments.

Desmond giv es sonic interesting figures relating to the fast-dwindling public do main. There has been at the disposi tion of the Government since its founda tion 1.838,150,387 acres. From this amount are to be deducted as unavailable 920.520,600 acres, including Alaska, Indian and military reservations and mountain or untillabie lands. This leaves about 900,000,000 acres available, of which 300.000.000 have gone to actual settlers and private purchasers. The dif ferent Mates have received as swamp land and for school purposes 181,000,000. For canals, wagon roads and military and naval bounties 07,000,000 have been transferred. To the railroads have been given 172.000.000. There yet remains some 200,000,000. It thus appears that five-seveuths of the available public do main bus lieen disposed of, and only one third so far is in tlic hands of actual set tiers and icd. vidua purchasers The Chinese minister at Washington was formerly the governor of a province. After he had made liis fortune the Em peror saw that he was getting rich too fast. and. much to his disgust,exiled him lime oil a salary of $25,000 a year and all expenses paid. ,Tlic minister and liis at tactics are prompt in returning all card rails made upon them. I’liey make in exceptions. If the humblest grocer should send hi« card, a distinguished mandarin would appear in person within a few days and smile and beam upon the Wash ington caller. Mr. Henry M. Manley, the African ex plorer, relates that when he started on his tour through the "Dark Continent,* he took in bis baggage a large, collection of books. But as the number of bis men was lessened the books had one by' one to be left by tin wayside, until finally, when less than three hundred miles from the Atlantic, be bad left only the Bible, Shakespeare, ( arlyb *s ‘"Sartor Rosartus,” Node's .Navigation, and the Nautical Al manac. At Singe the Shakespeare was abandoned, and afterward None, the Al mauie. and, last, "Sartor Resartus" were thrown down, only the Bible going through to the end. Os tin' Rev. Sain .(ones’ preaching a w riter in the Cincinnati Connmrcinl Qaz iltr. says: •‘Cincinnati lias bail what she Inis not had for many years—a genuine revival of religion. Great crowds of people thronged Music Hull every night to hear the truth preached in a plain way by a man evidently in earnest to convince men that the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the .Mount ought to rule the life of every human being. Rev. Sam .Fours is preacher unlike any other man who has ever preached in this city. lie is a quiet man in liis manner of preach ing. He never rants: he is never sensa tional. lie stands up and fearlessly preaches the truth that tits the condition of all classes of people in their every day contact with the world. lie uses the plainest possible English. The cutting power of his language is at times terrific, .1, .1 the effect 1 upon the audience is marvellous. Everybody wanted to bear him: no church in Cincinnati was large enough to hold one-third of the people who Hocked to the services.” From Cin cinnati the Southern evangelist went to < 'hieago. The Consumption of Opium. An opium eater says: There are but very few people who comprehend tin ex tent to which opium is used. Some idea of it may, however, be gathered from a single illustration. An Eastern drug firm advertises in all the leading papers of the country, including the high-priced magazines, a certain preparation of opium in liquid form. Their expenses for ad vertising must lie enormous. Now, 1 know from careful inquiries that this par ticular preparation is sold in bottles at w holesale to the druggists in this city (St. Louis), and, of course, elsewhere, at 25 cents a bottle, each bottle containing enough of the preparation to satisfy the cravings of all but the most hardened in the vice for a moiltli. Mind, the drug store man pays no part of the advertising bills. lie simply buys the bottles at wholesale for 25 cents and retails them for s<l eiiit . Snail the heavy advertis ing charges, as well as the original cost of the preparation, have to be paid mg of the smaller sum. The cost of putting the preparation before the public can, therefore, only be paid, and a profit yielded to the wholesale man, out of an enormous multitude of sales. The thing is evident to any one who will think, and like meaning of the result is that opiurii f-onsumptioii is growing in this country at a rate that seriously threatens the pub lie welfare.

THE SURGEON’S STORY. 1 opened the w indow of my office and looked out upon tlie distant lightning, at its awful, red rehearsal in the inky west. Neither rumbling thunder nor furious dash of wind nor volleys of Iniil proclaim ed the advance of the marvelous midstim jnertempest. It came on silently, and the lightning blades were doing their deadly work with the flash and silence of steel. The area of tile storm covered less than a mile, and the altitude of the cloud could not have lxwn more than half of that distance. Once overhead the mighty cloud came to an ominous pause before pouring forth its varied forms of vengeance. Then the holts began to rush through the air with the sibilant noise of sky-rockets, and the. attendant peals seemed to paralyze the very pulse and forever silence the heart of the listener. One bolt descended close by, plow ing in its vivid progress oblong gulfs in an ap ple orchard, as if digging graves for its prospective victims; and during all tliis . glare and din my night bell rung liiiious - ly. ‘ AV-liat J” thought 1. “A, summon- on sta ll a night as this! Surely it must be ; an urgent ease that could not wait until : this most phenomenal of thunder tempest s had passed over.” As f left the rear office T could but ob serve the play of the blue lightnings 1 under the thresholds of the doors, like a viper writhing in flames of blue,vitriol. So deafening were the wild demon strations of nature that the messenger could hardiy make himself understood, but I learned at length that the house of Judge Itungerford hadlie.cn struck and that Alis.s Blanche ilungerfor.l had been dangerously prostrated by the shock. 1 remembered Mi's Blanche Hunger ford, whom 1 had met at several social gathering ', as being very beautiful and amiable and a beaming star in society. I found her unco use ions, with the fan. i ily grouped about her in tears. My first thought was disfigurement. Hut she ! -t'cmed too superlatively lovely for tie ' blasting touch of lightning; but sin- was 1 safe from this dread physical evil. The blinding flash and terrific thunder pea! I had ov< rpowered her to unconsciousne--. In his excitement the messenger Inal 1 made an erroneous statement. Not the house but a stately elm bad been struck and cleft in twain. Miss Blanche had just opened the door to observe the din ; ful aspect of the hour when the bolt. <l> s tended and she fell s'ci-eli ■ » in the hall way. The scene at the bedside win a strange ; and sadly impressive one. At its foot sat I the venerable Judge Htmgerford. Ex treme age had impaired bis once brilliant ' fatuities, and he was now nearly an iin - beeiie. At it - sitii stood Mrs. J1 tinge: font, a tali, severe-faced woman, wearing somber, green goggle—, Vxid!" tro:. fir-t neck hung an ostentafio s medal, imb eatiiig her nn mbe-i-hip of some reform •tssociarioji. Tin* impression this remarkable woman 1 made upon me is lifelong and unfading. Tim combination of artificial green eves, a perfectly erect and inflexible attitude a narrow head, with aquiline nose, and it certain indescribable air of eager watch ful lie*- called to my mind alien eagle, creel on a i rag. and I could compare In - to nothing else. 1 wn- astonished to see in the mother of the beautiful Blanche such an austere ami unattractive person, but toy astonish ment, subsided when I learned that ‘.it »r my fair patient’s, stepmother, tin judge’s second wife. After jierforming other duties of my profession I raised the suffering young lady s head and proceeded to the use ~f restorati ee*. Soon the beautiful patient opened her eyes wondering! v, murmured "Thank you!" and then I suffered her noble head to return to the pillow. “Do you feci pain anywhere?” was i whispered, j " SUB DEO FAOiO FORTITER." She turned her exes in tie direction of her left shoulder. 1 raised the sleeve of her robe, aud lo! there on that alabaster arm. tear the shoulder, was the perfect imprint of a tree. The lightniiig ilasli had photographed upon her lair skin Ihe stricken elm in miniature! 1 left further instructions as to the. are of the charming young patient, and then, in the face of tile feeble remonstrance of Judge llnngerforil. I took mv departure. oln due tbne I In-ar.l of Blanche Hun gerford’s complete convalescence, and 1 intlsl confess the agr.'ruble tidings gave me pleasure that was not altogether of a professional character, "sin was such a sweet patient, and 1 hail never forgotten tile look of gratitude she gave me when she whispered "Thunk you!” And what is more delighting to a man's heart Ilian a grateful expression from a beautiful woman ! Alt iuen :isf ..f reputation opened tip n wav for me liv what I had so long and ardently desired a city practice. I lie came associated with the distinguished and beloved Dr. Bai lhi loinew. and upon his decease I succeeded to his large and lucrative medical clientage. I pou several oc":isions I had conferred xvithmv r-.|eem.ml professional brethren upon the subject of lightning photogra phy, and, mentioning no names, out of delicate motives, I cited the ease of a handsome young woman who was pros tinted by the electric fluid. The bolt blasted a contiguous elm tre , and the tree was perfectly and artistically photo graphed upon her arm. I found that eases were not imfrequeiit win re iuani mate objects had been photographed by lightning upon animate ones. One sur geon vouched for a ease where a black, oak. thunder riven, was photographed upon the flank of a white horse. Musing upon litis subject one cold xx in ter evening.

What meaning should xvo attnell to the words stimulant and nareotie? A stimulant miiy be defined as that which ministers to healthy activities, support i ing the pi, eesses of life in health and restoring them in disease. A stimulant act" chiefly in removing or eoiniterneling depressing influences il may be pain, fatigue, or a morbid .sensibility. Tims mustard, applied externally in intlanuna tinn, is nt times a trie linuilant, and tends to restore healthy vital action by freeing the circulation and the nerves from the depressing influences of pain. A' "Up of tea, also, is in it - place a trim stimulant, restoring the initnrid tone of the central nervous system. *hi tlm j other hand, a nareotie is a substance | which by poisoning the nervous system I produces a gradual paralysis of vital actions.
