a legitimate trade, but there are many
others who do not. It is a simple matter
to buy old nte&il, thrust it into a pot and

asked if there arc no “fences,” now and
where do the thieves dispose of their
plunder?

can really call a ‘fence’ in the city to

that there arc no persons who receive
stolen goods. How do thieves dispose
of their booty! Why, in various ways.
If a thief his a piece of gold or silver
ware, he proceeds to break or bend it in
small pieces and then sells it to be melted
over. An annoccnt man may purchase
the old racial, believing it to have been
honestly acquired. A large quantity of
plunder goes to the pawnshops. If a
wcll-dro sed man goes tdhls ‘uncle* and
plants down his watch, the proprietor
would not say: ‘Did you steal this?’ If
he did he soon would have no business.

following words in an address delivered
at the dedication of the McDowell mon

“Young men of America, listen to the
voice of one who has grown old in his
profession, aid who will probably never
address you again, as he utters a parting
word of tdvice.
“The great question of the day is not

medicine, but preventive medicine, the
hygieno of our persons, oug/dwcllings,
our streets, in a word, our surroundings,
whatever or wherever they may be,
yrhether in city, town, hamlet or coun
try, and the establishment of efficient
town and State boards of health, through
whose agency we shall be more able “to

to over-tax the stomach with even half
an ounce more than it can take care of.

“disagree” with the syt-tem. Vigorous
out-door workers should beware of heavy,
indigestible suppers. Suppers should al

The dumfeeder is an institution. :in
New York city. He is a respectable in
nocent, who lets himself out to accom
pany ladies to respectable public restau
rants in the evening. He charge $5 to
$10, according to the size of the woman
party. He is scrupulously clean, uu-
exccptionally middle-aged, genteelly
dressed, and preposterously reticent.
When a bevy of girls want to have a
modest toot at Delmonico’s and do not
want to be under obligations to an escort
orbs forced into genteel monosyllables
by the presence of a man, they send for

coat and accompanies them, looking not
unlike a Baptist uncle of theirs from the

his charges with his spring coat on his

spliting kindling wood, and stiuck it
into tnc head of a barrel standing near.
The barrel contained potatoes, not a few
of which found their way into the sol
diers’ pocket*, and were eaten raw soon
afterward with great gusto.
Meantime our own officers had learned
of the affair, and one appeared upon the
scene and said some sharp words on the
sub'cct of order. These were listened to
with respectful attention, and
speaker wound up his lecture wit
see what can be done for you and if there
is anything to eat on board this ship you
shall have it,” smiles of satisfaction
spread over the half dozen hungry faces
which constituted his audience, and the
group quietly dispersed. And the men
aid get hot coffee and, I think, boiled
potatoes that night.
It is perhaps unnecessary to aid that
the officers of the Isabel had nq intention
of starving the soldiers of Sumter. The
remark: ‘ ‘There is nothing to eat on board
the ship,”- -was' the reply of the steward
to the o -der of the Captain to prepare
supper for the men; and it only meant
that he could not prepare supper for so
many passengers without going to market.
The night on board the Isabel was a
miserable one. The men, poorly clad
and blanketless—their underclothing had
been used as cartridge-bags and many of
their blankets had been burned—slept
about the deck wherever they could find
warmth or shelter. The lee side of the
smokestack was the favorite place. There
the raw, fog-laden wind was warded off,
and the grateful heat radiated from the
funnel of the steamer seemed solid com
fort to the half-clad men, but only a few
could enjoy it at a time. The remainder
huddled up in nooks, or, stamping round
the deck, chattered anathemas against
‘the ship,'or futile wishes to be back
again in Sumter. It was a long and
'dreary night, but dawn appeared at last.
When coffea had been served and drank,
and the fog had cleared away, the winch
began to click the anchor up, and every
body brightened, at the sound, and men
shook hands with men without apparent
cause, and all felt that'they were now
-going home.
The palmetto lag was flying at the
peak as the steamer started down the bay,
and at the fore was the stars and stripes,
fouled -iii the halyards. And Sumter,
changed past recognition, like.a beauty
who had had the smallpox recently,
frowned her farewell upon, us as we
passed, and Moultrie, with a queer, dis
torted face and swollen head, swathed to
the eyes in sandbags, seemed to say:
“Forget me not,” and everybody stood
apart, and silence was maintained until
we neared the bar. Thro the-soldicr-

The quantity of poison conveyed in
the fangs of venomous snakes appears to
be very small, but of very powerful qual
ity. Dr. Vincent Richards, of Bengal,
mentions a krait which quiekly killed
three men and seriously poisoned a.
fourth, by bites given in rapid succes

ried eight grains of liquid venom in its
poison glands, which are smaller than
those of the cobra.
Every living, active part of a plant
contains a ceitain amount of water-
From many juicy parts ninety per cent,
of water caa be expelled by drving;
many green leaves hold from seventy-
five to eighty, while from seeds which
we call “dry,” it is sometimes possible
to drive off about ten per cent _ Part of
this water is so intimately combined with
the plant structure, that, if it is or.ee
expelled, it cannot be again taken up in
such a manner as to restore the plant to
its former condition.
While malaria has its ordinary habitat
in low-lying regions, it may under favor
able conditions exist at great elevations.
On the Tuscan Appcnines it is found at a
height of 1,100 feet above the sea; on
the Pyrenees and Mexican Cordilleras,
5,000 feet; on the Himalayas, 6,400 feet;
on the island of Ceylon, 6,500 feet: and
on the Andes, 11,000 feet. At present,
the elevation of entire security has been
thus approximated for various pi ices: In
Italy, 400 to 500 feet; in California, 1,-
000 feet; along the Appalachian chain of
tho United States, 300 feet; in the West
Indies, 1,400 to 1,800 feet. In any of these
regions, however, malaria may drift
up ravines to an indefinite height.

extension of the geographical distribu

Walker, of the British navy, in a cer

its original home on the American con
tinent, where it is common from the
Hudson's Ray territory to the estuary of
the Rio de la Plata, this butterfly has
been spreading, under our observation,
into very remote regions. Crossing
2,850 miles of ocean to to the Sandwich
Islands, it rapidly and steadily contin
ued its course over the. whole breadth
of the Pacific and far into the Malay
archipeligo. Southward and westward
it has appeared in New Zealand and

last ten years has even made its advent
in the British Isles.

Danger From Dirty Bank Notes.
Owing to the withdrawal of $1 and $2
National Currency and United States
Treasury notes from circulation, there is
very little of such paper currency in the
