HEALTH HINTS. Chroxio Diarrhea.?E. Fitz Sim- : mons wishes a remedy for chronic diarrhea. My own ca?e was cured more by j careful dieting than by medicine. I lived for some months almost exclu- j sively upon milk, rice and chocolate. The rice was boiled with water till nearly done, the milked was added, ! and it was thoroughly cooked. I used the best chocolate, and it was prt-, pared with pure milk. Sometimes the j boiled rico was made into cakes, with | a very little well-heateii egg. but no bntter. I chewed force broiled steak ! occasionally, but swallowed only the soluble portions. I lived on this diet mainly for some time after the disease j seemed about cured.?Mcdicu*. Salt as a Prophylactic ix Diphtheria.?In a paper read at the Medical society of Victoria, AusLralia, Dr* Day stated that, having for many years regarded diphtheria, j. its eaily stage, as a purely local afi'ectioL characterized by a marked tendency to take oa pntre lactive decomposition, ? o lias trusted moBt to the frco and constant application of antiseptics, arid when their employment has been adopted from the first, and been combined with judicious alimentation, he has seldom .seen bloodpoisoning ensue.. In consequence of the great power which salt possesses in preventing th<J putrefactive decomposition of meat and other organic matter, Dr. Day has often prescribed for diphtheritic patients living far away from medical aid the frequent use of a gargle composed of a tablespoonful or more of salt dissolved in a tumbler of water, giving children who cannot gargle a teaspoonful or two to drink occasionally. dults to use the gargle as a prophylactic three or four times a day. Children's Feet.?What a vast omrmr? + ni V?Timor* onftnMni* m 1 nrhf I prevented did parents properly care for the feet of their childrt n. We do not now refer to the matter of cleanliness, too often disregarded, but to those points which affect the development of the feet, and directly concern tho future comfort of the individual. Fortunately the days in which tho foot was squeezed ; into the smallest possible shoe or boot, i have gone by. But life-^ctog trouble j may result from wearing shoes tbat are j too large. When a shoe fits badly, and ! there is with every step a constant concussion or rubbing, the skin thickens at \ that point. At first this trouble may belong only to the surface skin or cu- I tide, but after a time the true skin is j affected, and in some cases even the muscles may become involved, ! and painfully diseased. These troubles, when small, are called corns; ! when larger ami on the ball of the great toe, "bunions," and on the heel, " ribes." All have* tlio same origin, au undue, long-continued local y?r?,f sure, . and are all of the same natu;<, bi ingan attempt to resist this presture by a thickening and hardening cf the skin, . while the parts below become exceedingly sensitive and painful. Corns of whatever description may result from a pressure of too tight a shoe, or the frequent rubbing of one that is too loose. Young people should always have wellfitting shoe.", and if they wear woolen stockings all the time they will be more likely to escape corns than with cotton ones. ii Falling Stars. Astronomers divide meteors into sevetal classes?r erial meteor?, as winds, ! tornadoes, etc.; aqueous meteors, as | fogs, rain, snow, bail, etc.; luminous I meteors, or tnose due to the action oi the elements in the air, .13 rainbows, ] halos, parhelia*, mirages, etc.; olec- j trioal meteors, as lightnings, auroras, i etc.; and ignoous meteors, as shootiug or falling stars, ftar-showers, bolides or fire-balls, aerolites or meteorites, etc. In present usage, says Professor Newton, th? term meteor is generally limited to the last gronp, or to the igneous meteors. The meteorites arc all evidently fragments, not separate formations. They are, s?ys tho same authority, in the heavens, to gome exV' tent, at least, grouped in streams along the orbits of known comets, r.nd hence Is* have a common origin with them. The continuity of these streams, the double and multiple character of Biela's and other comets, and the steady diminution of comets in brilliancy of successive returns, seems to argue a continuous breaking up of the comet into fragments by some cause, probably by the sun's heat. This view is strengthened by the fact that the meteoric irons and stones bring with them carbonic acid, which is known to form so prominent a part of the comet's taiJ. It is now universally admitted that igneous metors are caused by small bodies which havt> been traveling about the sun in their orbits, but now como into the earth's atmosphere, ar.d, in general, the shape of broken fragrm-Dto of stone. The outside is usually covered with a thin black crust, which is evidently due to a melting of the surface in the atmosphere. There have been found at various times and places loose iron masses that are assumed to be of meteoric origin, because their peculiar form, their peculiar chemical composition and their peculiar crystalline structure are liko those of the iron massos that have been seen in Beveral instances to come down from meteors. Shooting-stars are seen on i any clear, moonlight night; they leave ! ' r a i i. i. r i ;i _ r !

I had had dim ideas of snowy gar j ments dyed purplo with the juice of grapes, and the delicate fee* of girls ; treading the luscious fruit -rider the i bKiuIa nf vinP.ola/1 tl'^llicAC v.i ! l.i air. In my imagination tliero were fountains of pure water washing away all stains and impurities, and long processions of men and maidens bearing the fruit on their heads, til decked with flowers, and singing and dancing to the sound of harps aud llutes. Had I ; not seen pictures to that effect, read poetical descriptions of it, and had 1 not always been encourage 1 by my ! childhood's instructors in this delusion ? And ow, behold, there were not any ] snowy garments at all; the Hungarians had n coarse shirts and loose drawers tucked above the knee, and I came to the conclusion that they had never seen any fountains of pure water, and wouldn't have known the use of them if they lad. For there was a kind of grim- j ness about them, burned in by the *un, which'- seemed to indicate that they never washed either themselves or their clothes. In fact, the? had a fine contempt for the ordinary rules of cleanliness.

Captain Carrie, who with his wife and two young children, together with j the second oilicer and six seamen of j tho British bark Lara, arrived at San j Francisco from Acapnlco, gives the following account of the burning of the Lara and their subsequent adventures : The first intimation wo had of the danger we were exposed to was seeing smoke isMucg through the veu- ' tilator hatch. Knowing there was nothing there that could be on tire except : the coal, I at once pave orders to bore tsvo holes in the starboard bow and let ' in four feet of water. After a time the j smoko ceased, and I began to think that the danger had been overcome and the fire cut. I then gave orders to i plug the holes up and pump tho ship j dry. That was about 8 o'clock in the evening. Shortly after pumping out ! ~^C iUr. /\v? ,\r\ trofrnK cnti* cmnt*() UXJO Ul IUU IHCH vm 1TCUUU cu II } coming out again. .It increased so ! rapidly that within an hour it was worse than it had been before. Antici- ! pating the great danger wo weie ull exposed to, I gave orders to batten down fore and aft, if possible to smother ' the firo that seemed impossible to put out with water. For thrco davs we watched every aperture, hoping against i hope that tho lire had gone out, but our watching was all to no purpose. j After three days, observing that the j volume of smoke which escaped was increasing, I determined to abandon j tho vessel, fearing that an explosion j might take placo at any moment. 1 ordered the boats launched and j had them packed with provisions and j water. There were throe boats in all. i In the first one was my wife, my two j children, the second officer, live seamen i and myself. In tho second boat were the first ollicer, tho cook and four men, ; and in the thirdboat the boatswain and three seamen. We were tweuty s mis in all on board. That was on Sunday even- . ing, three days after we had first seen smoke. Wo stayed by the ship until the smell of gas fmra the burning coal was getting so bad that it was impossi- | bio to stand it any longer. We were all sii k with it. We got into the boats about 10 o'clock that night. The weather was clear nnd *ea quiet. The three boats kept together all that night and the nest day. But the following night (i heavy storm came up with thun- , der and lightning and heavy rains. I During that night wo parted company, for when morning broke we could not j see anything of the other two boats. , For two days we were alone. The storm abated aud all eyes were eagerly enguged in scanning the horizon in search of a passing vessel. Although we saw none onr hopes were strong. Three <^vs had not yet sufficed to dampen our hopes and depress our spirits. But what was our joy on the third morning after j the storm to sight our other two boats. We set our Mils ami heartily congratulated each other, on coming up, that we | had been preserved from the deep and ! permitted to meet again. "We remained in company again lor the following three days, when we again parted com- j pany, perhaps never to see each other again. What has become of these two . boats God only knows. For twenty-three days we tossed about on the Facitie, over a thousand i miles from Jand when we abandoned the ship. I hud given orders to the other boats to steer their course for Aeapuleo. They were supplied with provisions and water, all tiiey could , carry, and with compasses. I no: there- i fore sligh'lv in hopes that they may have succeeded in reaching land?if not Acapulco, some other point on the Mex- J ican coast?or, better still, they may have been picked up by a passing ves- ' sel. During the twenty-three days we were out we hoped and hoped that a ves&el would loom up in sight and save us all from the dreadful bufferings we were experiencing. Especially so did I pray for that for my wife and children. As the days wote by and none appeared wo all became more or less despondent. : I could not give way to signs or expressions of despondency, as I felt I must cheer up my wife, children and the men. The latter held out bravely. But the burning sun, thirst and fear were too much for my poor wife. She fell . sick, and day by nay became more exhausted. We all did our best to cheer her up. She struggled bravely for the sake of the little children. It was pain- j fill to ho!\r their wails and cries for i water. The eldest one, although only seven, was old enough to realize to I some extent the situation. But the little fellow?only two years old?he was too young to comprehend it, and day after day he would cry,'mother, I vvrtilww. /?*?* i c-Ama TOofiiv I cnmA , LUUlUClf lXXKi OMVWt t MWWAV water!" His mother would moisten a handkerchief and put it to tho little ' fellow's lips. As it touched them he would ciutch at it with all the desperation of dying thirst. But it is hard to i ; tell you all they suffered. Night after 1 night during those long twenty-three j 1 dave and nights they would, as I havo told yon, fail asleep on their mother's j1 knee, with the words water, water, expiring ou their lips. That was the hardest thing to bear I have ever yet experienced. May God protect us from again having to undergo such dreadful . \ sufferings. After a time our tobgues j i and our lips began to swell. We men | did not mind it so m ;ch, but it added j to the sufferings of my wife and chil- < dren. i At last wo sighted land. Never j j could I attempt to desciibo the feciiug j ( that arose within me as I did fao. I I j knew that wo were nearing land, \ T nnf know ue were so , near. "We were still hoping to i sight n vessel. liut when we \ sighted ilu> coast our very hearts seem j j to go further from us. My wife cried like a child, au.l indeed it was hard i work for the bravest of us to keep back 11 the tears. As I felt that the sufferings of ! < my wife ami children were neariDg an end j ! I experienced a feeling of joy and i thankfulness such a? never before passed through my heart. Our thirst was get- < ting almost intolerable. You can have some idea how we suffered when I tell you that one day we succeeded iu cap- j turing a turtle. As wo hauled it into I the boat the men actually tore it into piece.s to suck its blood. Not before, however, asking my wife whether she would wish some; but she was too sick at her stomach to attempt that. When she told the men she could not suck the blood even to quench her thirst, the men, as 1 eay, tore it to piecs, each one taking a portion and suck'ng t'.ie dripping blood from it, as though to wait a moment longer would hare been j sudden death. One can with dilliculty I imaciiie the intensity of th-j suffering of thirst?thirst in an open lov in a tropical sea; it is one of the most frightful of deaths; one that every moment of those hittt-r days v, e felt ourselves exposed to. But, thank G -d, all things have an end.?Sun Francisco Hulk tin. A Turkish Tea-1'arly. A correspondent gives the following picture of a Turkish tea-part^: Through the open windows that look out on the garden come a scent of roses and the hum of l'ees, mingled with the laughter of children, who aro playing on a well- < trimmed lawn, under the eyes of the dark-eyed Circassian nurses. The mistress of tho harem, the Buiuk-Hanum (great lady), to give h*>r full title | ?dresses much like an Eup:lish Jady i nowadays, reads French novels and i! plajs the piano, though she dons t j native dress upon state occasions, such .

In changing the diet of an ox, five days will generally elapse before the remains of the preceding diet are expelled. Tainted milk sometimes cornea from certain animals, and sometimes from gasos or an impnre atmosphere. Bad food or strong-flavored food may cause it. The best floor for a creamery or milkhouse is said to be of cement, as this admits of no cracks into which spilled milk can be secretcd and become a nuisance. Sheep should bo tagged regularly and kept clean They should be culled every year, and those in any inaniuv deficient in form or age should bo put in a separate pasture and fattened for the butcher. Washing butter docs not affect the flavor. The acid and buttermilk may be removed by washing ; bnt the flavor which is contained in the fatty matter, not being soluble in water, cannot be washed away. Swamp muck is of little values for pot-plants. Leaf-mold mixed with the loam taken just under the sod of an old pasture is suitable for nearly all plants; additions of wind and manure can bo made as necessary. i If the cucumber which grows nearest the root be saved for seed for a number of years in succession the result will be a smaller and earlier variety. If the fruit on the extremity be saved it will prodnco a larger and later variety. Do not let a calf stop growing. As the calf grows increase the feed. If vou aro raising a heifer calf for a dairy cow feed on light food, so as to prevent its taking on fat. As yon are not raising it for beef guard against rich food. One pint, of oil cake is said to contain a3 much nourishment as two quarts of shelled corn, and is much healthier. For feeding horses the better plan would he to give a little corn cr oats (say about a balf feed) and a /small amount of oil cake. By this means the danger of over-feeding of the oil cake would be obviated.?Ndirn-shi Farmer. There aro some common sense rules in fattening stock the value of which every farmer must acknowledge. Tii3 animal must be comfortable and contented to do its best. To insure this condition they must havo plenty of good, clean water, easily accessible to drink, plenty of good, palatable food which they can eat in quietness and undisturbed, besides having quiet, pleasant companions in the field that do not hook or bite. Manure should be forked over occa sioually to make it fine. If it is .heating, then muck or loam should be mixed with it to absorb the ammonia which is forned during the process of decomposition. Sprinkling the m?nnro pile with ground plaster is advisable. The plaster will absorb any ammoDia which escapes from the pile and save it for the use of growing plants. Ammonia is too valuable an element of plant food to allow it to be wasted. Again, upon some lands plaster is an excellent fertilizer. A writer in an Indiana paper figures out a net profit of ?39.80 in one year from a cow that cost him ?30. Even afLer allowing for labor, w"hich he does not include amoug his expenses, here is a profit of nearly or quite 100 per cent, supposing that lie kept a respectable number of cows to divide that item of expense. This was a fair but by no means a remarkable cow, her yield of butter daring the jear being 200 pounds, whereas a Jersey is reckoned hardly worth keeping that doe3 not produce 300 pounds or more. i.ne cause ot appie ungnt is a parasitic fungoid plant which takes root in the bark, penetrates it and spreads in the layer of cambium under the bark and destroys both. It spreads upward and downward until either a part of the tree or the whole of it is killed, and turns brown as if scorched by fire. The only remedy is io cut offall the diseased parts as soon as they are seen to be affected, and burn them at one?, by which the spread of the disease is stopped. The sound wood only should be left. Draining the soil, the use of lime and wood ashes, and whitewashing the young trees with lime, act as proven tiV(;3. We have, says the Cincinnati Uazt tte, a raspberry bed which the past season demonstrated the advantage of mulching. In the fall dead leaves were raked up and strewn among the cane3, and during the last winter the ccal aahes released from grates and cooking stoves were thrown systematically on and along their roots, and early in the spring a thorough cleansing of the bed and vines was instituted. The ground was well stirred, and then the depositing of ashes recommended. Whether the last operation was beneficial or not in checking the growth of the weeds, the whole routine certainly worked well in the production of a line crop of berries, Don't Spoil Hie JHent*. Any flesh heated sufficiently will, just like wood, be reduced to charcoal (carbon) aud water, and a little gascoiis matter. The water and gas escape into j the atmosphere; the charcoal will remain, tinless heated sufficiently in the spen air to form carbonic* acid gas, R-hen that will also go off, leaving only i i little ashes. Well, in roasting, baking, j grilling or broiling, and frying meats of : ill kinds, every minute';! continuation of heat beyond just enough to coagulate tho albumen. does something toward changing the moat into charcoal, and charcoal is innutritions aud indigestible. Further, rare cooked, fresh, lean beef, will digest and go into nourishment in two to three hours, while "well done" beef and well corned beef need four to four and one-half or five hours to digest in strong stomachs, and longer in feeble ; ones. Nine-tenths or more of families 1 cook meat too much, for health, for j good digestion and for getting the best j nourishment from them. It is a matter j of habit. Itare cooked meats, " blood j rare"?that is, only barely v.el' heated ; through?are Jar more digestiblo and nutritious, and when one "breaks him- j self into" the habit of eating them rare ' they will be more toothsome than if j ::well done."

Of Interest to Fowls. An Italian law court has just had to j flfeide a cave of groat interest to fowls. | Ihe Duca di Lavello and his brother, the Mdrchese (li San Marco, had pat- i silted an instrument called " the me- | shanical stuffer," for feeding and fattening fowls ajniiusfc their will.

In his annual report Mr. Loring, tho commissioner of agriculture, 8 ay a that upon entering upon tho discharge of iiiaduties on Jnly 1 last ha found an elaborate plan of operations for the year already laid out by his predecessor. Such of the iuveatigationsashe thought of value he has pushed forward with an ardent desiro to bring tliem to legitimate conclusions. The commissioner says: "Provision bad been made for investigating tho agricultural condi4: .0 T> thn uuu Ui tut: x auuo tuani, awl vuiifiiutixi, kuv work on the artesian well in Colorado; for proceeding with tko experiment in tho cultivation of tlie tea-plant; for concluding the investigation into tho manufacture of sugar from sorghum; for observations on the existence of plouro-pncumonia and other contagious diseases of animals, both in this country and in thoso English ports to which American cattle are exported;for continued examinations into tho necessities and opportunities of American forestry; for tests of textile fibere, both animal and vegetablo; for a scientific investigation of the habits of insects injurious to vegetation and of the beat methods of destroying them, and for the usual work of tho various divisions of tho department for which appropriations had been made by Congress." All of these subjects liavo been given tho most careful attention both by tho commissioner and by experienced experts in <hc various branches, and tho report contains many valuable conclusions arrived at by the department. Tho expenses of tho attempt to ciilt:.vate tho tea-plant in South Carolina have been somewhat curtailed without detriment to tho experiment. One of the expertsSir. Saunders?who has visited tho tea farm established in Summorville, S. C., reports that "Ilio 1200 acros of land selected for the experiment are most of them covered with a heavy forest growth, tho soil being 'poor, hungry sand' of a character 'to support only tho scantiest kind of vegetation.' Of this about fifteen j acres had been cleared, and was under a prim- | itivo cultivation. Un these acres operations were begun in January last. A space was propared for Bowing tho tea-seed, and preparation was made for covering the plants, which, when young, suffer severely on being exposed to tho sun. The plants wcro growing well and con- I utitut-sd tho entire tea crop of the farm." Mr. Saunders reported that with regard to tho future prospects of the enterprise, if continued in tho line of the present scheino and under tho present system, it may be said that there is not much room for encouragenient. The poverty of the soil an 1 the character of the climate, in which frosts sometimes occur, seem to bo unfavorable to the production of strong, highly flavored teas, as had already been proved by an experiment in Mcintosh, Ga. Tho investigation of contagious diseases among domesticated animals has been continued with good results. Tho results of some of those inquiries, such as tho discovery of infected head-ropes in ocean steamers, are already known. The fact has also been established that pleuro-pneumonia exists in several of the Eastern States, although in most cases in a very mild form, rrominenco is gi/en to tho report of tho veterinary surgeons sent to Great Britain to inquire into tho alleged importation j from tho United States of diseased cattle, and j tho commissioner believes that most of the misI iir*.l/\rafon/linrrj tliia uiiliinnf. ham nivf?n ?rav I before the convincing proofs presented by the i American surgeons. "The special investigation of the insects affecting tlio cotton crop," the commissioner eays, "is being actively carried on, particularly in its more practical bearings, and in'c-t valuable discover! sa have been made in mechanical details and principles that lessen tlio cost of protecting the crop and simplify the neccssary machinery. Kecognizing the importance to our Western farmers of acquiring data upon which to predicate as to the probal'le action of the Koekv Mountain locust in 13S2. I liavo had an agent specially engaged, under the direction of the entomologist, to gather such data in the permanent breeding grounds of this pest, lying for the most part in the thinly ectiletl sections of the Northwest. Remembering the incalculable loss and suffering which this insect entailed between the years of 1873 and 1877, losses which largely helped to prolong tlio commercial depression of that period, this information seems to me of sufficient moment to warrant annual observations of a more extended nature." Commissioner Loring expresses his intention of making tho crop reports much more accurate and exhaustive than heretofore. FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS, Senate.

Tho speaker announced the standing committees of tho House. Mr. Itobinson, of Now York, offered a resolution, which was referred, calling on tho President for tho names of all persona claiming to bo American citizens who within tho past year have been arrested and imprisoned in Great Britain. Tho House then adjourned over the holidays. Unitcftn'3 Trial. General Reynolds resumed his testimony on the morning of tho twenty-seventh day. Ho found tho crime was purely a private entorpriso on Guiteau's part for patriotic reasons, as Gniteau said, caused by reading tho newspapers. Colonel Corkhill read communications on the subject of tho assassination, written in July, by Mr. Conkling, General Grant and Senator Logan, and editorials from tho Chicago Inter-Ocean, all expressing abhorrcnco of the deed and tho doer of it. Mrs. Griftit, of Washington, in whose houso Guiteau boarded last .Til no, next'.'old of her attempts to collect tho. amount of the month's board. 8ho never snsrw?tn/l *l,nf 1,? n-nu inamn finifaMHI f-nlimli- I mcnted thc> lady, acknowledged tho debt and berated Mr. Scoville for cross-examining her. Mi8. Dunmire, Guiteau'a divorced wife, again took the stand. A few ladies left tho room at this moment, whereupon Guiteau flamed out against Colonel (Jorkhill "for attempting to stir up a ficaiulal," and called upon President Arthur to kick Corkhill as a personal favor to himself, ""ho author of his present greatness." Mr. Scoville objected to tho admission of Mrs. Dunmire's testimony, sho having been tho ' prisoner's wife; but the court ruled that tho j examination might continue. Colonel Cork- ! hill askod her very few questions, and sho j gave her opinion that Guitoau was sane. Mr. , Scovillp's mothod of conducting tho cross- | examination excited Guiteau'a wrath, con- , tempt and ridieulo, which ho freely poured forth, calling Mr. Scovillo a " consummato jackass," " stupid fool," etc. Dr. 1'. 15. Loring, an oyo and ear specialist of Washington, testified that he examined tho prisoner's eyes on November 30 and Deccmbor 5 with reforonce to disease of the brain; their condition indicated no such disease. Dr. Allen M. Hamilton, of New York, a specialist in diseases of the mind and nervous system, testified that ho made three persoual examinations of tho prisoner; found no deformity but a slightly irregular shape of tho head such as is common. He found no physical signs of congenital insanity or idiocy. The doctor thought tho prisoner eccentric "and illtempered; in jail he was quiet and solf-possessi'd; liis conduct in court indicated that ho was '.Maying a part. Witness thought him sane, ablo to distinguish between right and wrong, and to know the consequences of hia acts. On tho twonty-eighth day of his trial Guitean appeared in court with his beard off, his face haviug been shaven to admit of a cast of his Iralnre3 being taken by Mills, tho scnlptor. Mr. Hobbs, one of the jurymen, had lost his wife. Tho district attorney rose, and in appropriate terms referred to the calamity which had fallen on tho juror, and said that the instincts of humanity required that tho juror to allowed an opportunity or paying proper respect to the memory of his deceased wife. He therefore proposed, with the assent of tho prisoner and his counsel, that Mr. Hobbs be permit ted to go homo. Mr. Scovilio expressed his lull consent to tho proposition, and suggested that the juror should not even ho incumbered by tho presence of a bailiff. At tho same time ho asked tho court to admonish all tho jurors not (o havo any communication or conversation with outside persons in regard to tho case. Judge Cox said that tho bailiffs in chargo of tho jury wore awaro of the rule, and enforced it, and that the jurors themselves understood :it. Tho prisoner said ho had entire confidence in tho honor and integrity of the jurore. Judge Cox repeated his admonition to the jurors to hold no communication with any person outside in reference to tho cage. Mr". Scovilio stipulated that tho warning should also apply to tho daily papers, and that they should not bo read by tho jumrs. Ho also intimated that ho desired to put some further questions to Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Dunmire, and asked that they bo not allowed to leavo the city. The order permitting Mr. Hobbs to go home was then duly made and entered, and the court adjourned for two davs. After the two days' recoss proceedings on the twenty-ninth day of tho trial wero begun by tho continuation of tho testimony of Dr. Allan MoLane Hamilton, of Now York. Tho witness was cross-examinod by Mr. Scovilio, and in answer to questions ho said a man may lo insano from a medical point of view, and yet DO ai>10 TO (lisuuguiou {jericuuj' ueuvuuij right and wrong. Dr. Worcester, of Boston, who had been called two or three weeks ago as an expert for tho defense, and who was abruptly dismissed by Sir. Scoville, appeared next as an expert for the prosecution. Ho had examined Guitcati in jail, and watched him and listened to his utterances in court for several weeks, and ho thought tho prisoner was sane. Tho prisoner eneored at this and asked tho doctor now much ho would bo paid for that opinion. Tho district attorney asked two long hypothetical questions, embracing tho prosecution's view of tho case, and tho doctor said that, assuming tho propositions to bo true, lio thought Guiteau was sane when he shot tho President. Guiteau interrupted tho reading of these questions with denials and corrections, no insisted that he was inspired, alleged that District Attorney Corldiilt obtained from him, on July 3, through a deception, an interview on tho subject, and complained that Coruhill destroyed his notes of this interview, in which tho inspiration theory was stated, and then declared in court that Guiteau had never thought of inspiration until weeks after the assassination. On the crossexamination of Dr. Worcester it appeared that he had at first regarded Guiteau as insane, and had written to Mr. Scovillo asking whether he could be of use to tho prisoner. Guiteau was in a bad temper, and ho abused his counsel for tho way ho conducted tho crossexamination until Mr. Scoville's emo- j linn lieeamo naiufullv anna re at. Then I Gniteau relented for tho" moment, but after- j ward ho again called his counsel " a consum- j mato idiot," and quarreled with liis sister, ending up with tho declaration that it would j had been well for him had all his relatives j died twenty years ago. lie said: "If I were I indicted for manslaughter and Scoville dc- j fended mo I would bo hanged for murder," ' and "I expect that tho Almighty, notwith- j standing Scoville's asinino character, will sec that I am protected." Tho day's proceedings j ended with a brief examination of Mrs. Dun- "j mire, (iuiteau's divorced wit's;, who identified ' . two photographs of him, taken some years ago, j ; nnd denied having said to Mrs. Scoville any- j thing about the prisoner being insane. * i ! i The (Jrowth of the United States in Ten Years. j i The following table presents tho final official : igures ol' tho population of tho United States , i it tho tenth census, with a column showing, j J or comparative purposes, the population of J 1870.

I S TSE MISSING JEANNETTE. , i Her Fate Definitely Ascertained. , News has at last been received from the long- ' missing Arctic exploring vesjel Jeannetto, ' which sailed from San Francisco for the Arctic ' regions in July, 1879, ami, not having been ' heard from for two years, had boon given , up by the majority of people as lost. Lieu- ' tenant-General Anoutchine, govornor-genoral ' of Eastern Siberia, who has jnst arrived at St. Petersburg, has brought the news that the Jeannetto has been discovered, and that assist- ' tince lias been renderod the crew. He says that news reached the government at Jakntsk, 1 Eastern Siberia, that on Sentember 14 three 1 natives of Onions, near Capo Barliay, 140 verats ' norlh of Capo Bikoff, discovered a boat conla ning eleven men, who said that they be- ' l>>ngecl to tlio Jeannetto and had undergone t'Trible suffering. On hearing the news the < district deputy governor, with & doctor s ami medicines, was immediately dispatched f to; help tho shipwrecked sailors, and was instructed to bring them to Jakntsk. The governor was also instructed to do everything < iii bis power to rescue the remainder of the 1 crew, 500 rubles being given him for first < expenses. Engineer Melville, of the Jeannette, has lelegiaphed to the American legation at St. Petersburg that the Jeannette was surrounded ami crushed by ice on the 23d of June, in latitude 77 degrees north, longitude 157 degrees east. The crow left the vessel in three boats. About fifty miles from the mouth of the Lena tliey were separated by winds and thick togs. Boat No. 3, commanded t>y Engineer Melville, arrived on the 29th of September at the eastern mouth of the river Lena, whero it was stopped bv blocks of ice near the village of Bolenenga, , inhabited by idolators. Boat No. 1 reachcd \ the same spot. The occupants of these boats say that Lieutenant De Long and Dr. Ambler, with twelve others, landed at the northern mouth of the Lena, and that they are in a fearful condition, suffering from frostbitten limbs. A party of the inhabitants of Bolencnfft started immediately for their assistance. Nothing is known of boat No. 2. A special supplement of tho St. Petersburg Official Gazette announced that all telegrams from Engineer Melvillo, of the lost Arctic exploring steamer Joannette, would be forwarded tp their destinations as promptly as possible, and that most energetic measures would be taken for the discovery of the remainder of the prow of the Jeannette and those left on the ice at the mouth of tho Lena river. Engineer Melvillo forwarded by natives long dispatches to 31 r. Bennett, of the New York Herald. For want of funds they were forwarded by post addressed to Gonora1 IgnatiefF. On October 29 Nindeman and Noras, seamen, who were in boat No. 1, joined their comrades and said that Lieutenant DeLong, Dr. Ambler and twelve others had reached tho northern mouth if tho Lena and wero starving. An expedition was at onco eont out to rescue them. The survivors lost everything. Engineer Melville said money was urgently needed, and should be sent by telegraph "to Jakutsk. He urgently requested that G,000 rubles be transmitted immediately to tho governor of Jakutsk for the return and caro of tho shipwrecked mon. Tho secretary of state at Washington has received tho following telegram from tho ihargo d'affaires of the United States at St. Petersburg: Secretary of Slate, Washington, D. 0.: Jeannette crushed in ico June 11, latitude 77 degrees, longitude 157 degrees. Crew embarked three boats. Separated by wind and fog. No. 3, with eleven mon, Engineer Melvillo commanding, reached mouth of Lena September 10. Subsequently No. 1, with Captain Do Long, Dr. Ambler and twelve men reached Lena in a pitiable condition. Prompt assistance sent. No. 2 not heard from. Hoffmax. Tii roannnan to the above the following was transmitted: Hoffman, Charge, St. Petersburg: Tender hearty thanks of President to all authorities or persons who have in any way been instrumental in assisting unfortunate survivors l'rom Jeannette or furnishing information to this government. Frelinohuysen, Secretary of State. The Jeannetto, which is named after the sister of James Gordon Bennett, was commanded by Lieutenant George W. De Long, of tho United States navy, carried eight otlicers and twenty-three men and was provisioned for a three years' voyage.

Wet, s.ippy 'wood is not only wasteful, but it is sure of vexation and discomfort. In the burning of dry wood the heat is nearly all of it available, while from one-half to two-thirds of tlio heat produced during the consumption of green wood escapes latent and useless iu the evaporating sap and water. In selecting wood for fuel it becomes a matter of economy to take for firewood such sorts ouly as will do beet service in range and stove, leaving behind for rails, timber and fence posts the varieties which, whilo possessing little value as regards their heating qualities, stand in the foremost rank for durability under exposure to the weather, other things being equal.
