Scarcely a section of our beautiful country I fiee from malarial disease in some of its Irms. During the protracted drouth of Ms year many localities formerly free from lalaria have been visited by this insidious id of humanity. Two reasons are given â-ºr this result. First, the ponds and swamps ave been dried up. and the lower forms of rganic matter have been exposed to the Ir. aud second, wells and springs have be- Sme so low that the water is very impure, id no doubt its use produces an unhealthy ate of the body. If the use of impure water alor e were the luse of malarial difficulties the remedy buld be simply, namely, to substitute hre water instead, if it could be had, or y filtration and other means, purify what ras at hand. The malarial influence arising from vamps or marshes can only be counteract- 1 by creating the soil and thus gettincr Ik of the lower organisms resident there. fy means of drainage the sour soil water earned off, the air enters and decay completedâ€" the poison is destroyed and a lore healthful condition ensues. But there are vast stretches of country rhere these means cannot be employed, and Kher methods must be provided. It is now Ketty well proven by actual plantings m palifornia of the blue srum tree, or Eucalyp- |U3 of Australia, ihat by its use over a suffi- hent area the malarial tendencies can be fouQteracted.

Mr. Blaine is credited with an epigrammatic description of Oscar Wilde, the accuracy of which will be recognized by all who have met the apostle of estheticism. He refwred to O. W. as "that underdone young man." It is said in San Francisco that Lord Beaumont has been refused by an heiress of that city. He made the mistake of asking her father in advance jnst how much she was to have, business being business. Sir John Rose, a financial and raOway magnate, who owns one-fifth of the Canada Paoifio Railway, was recently in St. FmI after inspecting his road. He is tall and angular in appearance, yet very genial in manner, though very modest and unassum- ing. At Cape May Oscar Wilde wore his aesthetic suit with " the sweetness of a niaidcn " but, being posed to his liking in a big arm chair, a waiter was asked to be good enongh to bring a bottle of wine and a box of cigars. The wine was old and the cigars were as black as ink; but he smoked, drank, and chatted until midnight.

One of Prince Bismarck's pet schemes is to substitute biennial budgets in place of the existing annual ones. All his bills in this direction have hitherto have been re- jected by the Reichstag. The undaunted Chancellor now purposes achieving his desire by submitting simultaneously the budgets for two consecutive years, that for 18S3-84 ostensibly only by way of experiment. Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, cares nothing for splendor. He rides in an ordi- nary black coach, usually drawn by six mules, and followed by twelve cavalrymen, mostly negroes, whose discipline is not too strict to permit him to smoke cigarettes while escorting his Majesty. The coaoh- rnsua and footmen are shabby in worn suits and silver lao«. The Emperor wears the plainest of black clothes, and is very cour- teous to all who approach him. Cetywayo, the Zulu king, is greatly de- lighted with England and his treatment by the govemmentand people. "If," he said, " 1 could only live in a country like this, I shonld want for nothing more on this earth." The cattle attracted his attention, and he expressed surprise that after feeding on such soil the herds did not become so fat as to be unable to rise. "Why," said he, "did a nation so grand, a people so numerous, make war upon a man so little as the Zulu Why did you not ask me to run away, to get out of Zululand?

Employment, which Galeh calls **natnre's physician," is so essential to human happi- ness that indolenee is justly censideraa as the mother of misery. In private conversation between intimate friends, the wisest men very often talk like the weakest; for indeed t^e talking with a friend is nothing else but thinVing aloud. The ordinary employment of artifice is the mark of a potty mind, and it almost always happens that he who uses it to cover himself in one place uncovers himself in im- other. Nature has left every man a capacity of being agreeable, though not of shining in company and there are a hundred men sufficiently qualified for both, who, by a very few faults that they might correot in half an hour, ire not so much as tolerable. It is with antiquity as with ancestry, na- tions are proud of the one, and individuals of the other but if they are nothing in themselves, that which is their pride ought to be their humiliation.

What oMt be oond â- MlihatttaNArf M '^^^?§r â- ^^ "^^'fiiiifi r\\f\] 'Atelp Core It is to be noted that with every revolu- tion or change of dynasty in China, the leaders of the defeated party usually took refuge with their followers in Corea. The Mongol stock was thus continually fortified, while the stream of Caucasic migration had ceased to flow from prehistoric times. Hence it is not surprising to find that tbe pre\ ail- ing type is now distinctly Mongoloid. Of the 9,000,000|or 10,000,000 inhabitants of the peninsula, probably five-sixths m^y be de- scribed as (ustinguislied by broad and rather flat features, high cheek-bones, slightly ob- lique bLck eyes, small nose, thin lips, black and lank hair, sparse beard, yellowish or copperish complexion. The rest, represent- ing tne original Caucasic clement, are char- acterized by rounded or oval features, large nose, light complexion, dehcate skin, chest- nut or brown hair, blue eyes, full beard. Between the two extremes there naturally occur several immediate shades, all of which serve to explain the c ntradictory accounts of the missionaries and travellers speaking from actual observation, but generally ig- norant of the original constituent elements and ethicnal relations of the natives. All, however, agree in desciiKng them as taller and more robust than the Chinese and Jap- anese, while fidly eqnal to them in intelli- gence and m(Arul qualities.

They only hoped that she did not suffer now. The rings of golden hair lay damp and unstirred upon her white forehead the roses were turned to lilies on her cheeks the lovely violet eyes saw them not, but were upturned and fix- ed the breath on the pale lips came and went, fluttered and seemed loath to leave its sweet prison. Oh, the awful, cruel stiength of death, and the weakness, the nelplessness of love They who loved her better than life could not lift a hand to avert the destroyer they could only watch and waic until the end should come. Her merry, ringing laagh would never again gladden their hearts her little feet would make no more music as they ran pattering to meet them.

His eyelids were red with weeping, but now a smile lighted all his bronzed face like a rainbow as he felt the gentle pressure of his little daughter's hand â€" the mute, imploring touch, that meant a question. " What is it, darling?" he asked in brok- en tones of joy and thanksgiving. She could not speak, and so we raised her on her pretty lace pillow, and her wee white face shone in the twilight like a fair star, or a sweet woodland flower. She lifted her heavy eyes to his â€" eyes that even then had the glory and the promise of immortality in them, and reaching out her little wasted arms, said in her v,esry, flute- like voice " Help me across, papa!"

' A Clever Trick. The Japan Mail describes a clever trick which was being exhibited by a native juggler. The performance takes place in a enudl room about twenty feet wide, half being allotted to the spectators, who are ad- mitted on the payment of the moderate fee of two cents. The "properties" consist of a deal table and a sword, etc. After the usual soul-stirring flouridi on a drum and samisen, a man and woman appear from be- hind a screen, the man binds the woman's head in a cloth, and then she kneels down close to the table, and sideways to the spectators. The man then draws his sword makes a violent blow at the woman's head she f^Us forward with arms extended and limbs twitching. He then, having first wiped the sword on a gory-looking rag takes np, apparently, the woman's head, vrapp- ed[in a cloth, and places it on ^the table. To all appearance it is a human ,head ,the eyelids and features have a convulsive motion presently the eyes open in a dreamy sort of wav, and to the accompani- ment of the everlasting samisen the head sings a mournful song. A curtain is inter- posed between the audience and the per- formers, and when again drawn back the woman is disclosed quietly seated alongside the man. When it is recollected that all this takes place within three feet from the spectators, and that the " properties " aro ot the simplest description, some idea may be formed of the wonderful excellence of the performance. n^ J^iu"**!? ^~*^ rf tfcfibn wsis would be rviom also iST jSSi ^\ fMgJjtof ths sank. «fc iTwHi^u^' two thousand mmmrotmim^J^i*^ of milHons of ^uT^J^^J^i^^^^^^ the «n from tha^^fa%5n1Sr2L:? ^»H throngh »^sstig^K,^JS2.T^ Jj«imade in â- eveSlSSS â„¢ ^^! there can acarcelv iZu^S^ ^f* that present time JriTel^i-o?22?^£S^ •***»• any traveUer were toToy?

A severe outbreak of typhoid fever which occurred last year at Nahant, a rocky pen- insula near Boston, inhaoited during the summer by a small number of very rich cot- tage owners, was followed by an investiga- tion, of which the results aro made public in an article by Mr. F. W, Bowditch, in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. In such cases contamination of drinking-water is usually the principal cause of the spread of the disease, and tbe wells and cisterns which supply the louses wero first examin- ed. Water was taken from one hundred and ninety of these and ahalyzedr Eight of the samples were pronounced " excellent," and seventy-one others " permissible," or "good." One hundred and eleven were clased as "suspicious," "very suspicious," or " bad." About eighty cases of fever oc- curred, nearly all of which could be account- e 1 for by tfie actual condition of the drink- ing water used in the houses inhabited by the patients. In a few others the filthy surroundings furnished a probable source of infection, although the water appeared pure, as, in one instance, when analysis ta led to detect any serious pollntion in water taken from a well situated within ten feet of one leaching cesspool and fifteen feet of another, both overflowing, and of course ready to furnish an occasional supply to the well daring dry seasons or under other cir- cumstances. One or two more were probab- ly explained by the fact that the ice used in the household was brought from a foul pond in the vicinity and only one seemed quite inexplicable, unless perhaps the infection might have been brought by milk contained in cans which had le:air ned in foul water. Mr. Bowditch's suspicion, that the infection was communicated in certain cases by con- taminated ice, is strengthened by the fact that a very severe and fatal npedemic of typhoid fever was nnquestionably caused u thiH way not long ago at a seashore hotel in New England and it is worth asking whether the public authority might not be employed witii advantage in exercising some sort ol surveillance over the collection and sale of an article which may become, and perhaps already is, tar taore dangerous than the tnohiBoos pork or immature veal against which so many pr e oa nt j ons are taken.

We were waiting on the platform at King- ston, Ga., for the overdue train, when a wordy war began a few feet away between two coloured men, one of them a resident of the town and the other a stranger from Rome in se* rch of a job.
