DISEASED MONEY. A writer in the Manufacturer and Builder gives some very pertinent advice on this subject: vaIn the numerous speculations as e riety of ways a"nd channels through which the germs of contagious disease may be disseminated, there is one to which but little or no importance has thus far been attached, but which, nevertheless, probably plays an important i'ole. We refer to that universal circulating medium money. It passes impartially from the' hand of the millionaire into that of the beggar, constantly circulating through every viusa auu cuuuujuu ui society. j.ne person oi fastidious tastes, who will turn from hh path rather than risk coming into actual contact with others of unclanly dress or person dll receive, handle and carry in his pocket without the slightest symptoms of disgust, or perhaps without giving it a thought, money that has thousands of times passed through hands or reposed in pockets whose contact he would deem to be pollution. In respect to the dangers that may arise from this cause, paper money is undoubtedly more to be feared than coin, and the indescribably filthy appearance of much of that which is seen in circulation is familiar to all who read th'13. That tho handling of such nasty stuff is uuuu uaugunvim eeriuua uanger, no sensioie person can doubt. It would be, well if the system said to be in vogue in certain countries of Europe, of destroying every note that comes into the banks and issuing new ones in their stead were practiced with us, though even this would only to some extent lessen and not do art-awith the danger. But though paper currency is the most to mo otuic ui uuuiuiuuicaiing vt.u coin is by no means free from danger of the same kind. It ha3 been shown that the blackish coating, which may be seen in the re-cesses and in the milled edges of coins that nave been m circulation for a short time, consists of organic filth which when introduced into distilled water and examined under the microscope was foundto ba swarming with 7 bacteria and fungi. We are not sanguine enough to expect that our readers shall decline to touch or handle Uv vuo siuu, iui iucrcason3 nere pointed out, but we can not refrain from uttering our protest' the unutterable against, nastiness, of which many persons are guilty who would feel them-selve- s deeply insulted at any insinuation of a lack of refinement or good breeding, of placing ' to-th- . ais-eas- e, 1 .... nimo.st exclusively to finn t, womankind, and is an aAact of thoughtlessness flvAr nracticed. t, i i zp ' , wnicn, n auy wuu -v. we ieei sure tuey nm vv 0 '. , . ; : ..

The eye is sometimes protruded in conditions of disease directly or indirectly related to the coorgan. People who are short-sightenstitutionally dropsical, or affected by hypertrophy of the membranes, have protruding eyeballs, but as a rule their appearance indicates the abnormal condition. The eye of health differs much from the eye 'of disease, and experience enables the observer to discriminate quickly between them. C.

To support tne idea that mothers-in-lahave been never favorably regarded, ethnologists tell us that a singular custom, which enacts that a man shall never look upon the face of his mother-in-laafter he is once married, prevails amongst numerous savage peoples apparently widely sundered by geographical distribution and differences of race. The custom 6b tains among the Kaffirs of South Africa, w w among several of the Australian tribes, and among many Polynesians, a fact which some people assume to point to a common origin of these races, but which others look upon as testimony of the existence of a natural law;-aa piece of wisdom indigenous to each of these countries, and "the direct growth of in-- , dividual experience. The custom being found: in guch widely separated continents as Africa and Australia is considered as proving that it must have been suggested by some common necessity of human nature, and reasons are not wanting 16 show why savages discovered it was better for a man hot to look upon his mother-in-law- . the Primarily, say supporters of thi3 theory, because his mother-in-lawas a picture in anticipation of what his wife was likely to be. Before marriage, a man's mind may not be open to the cold process of comparison, but afterwards he begins to consider what sort of a bargain he has made, and if his mother-in-lahas not improved with age, the s w w Princess Louise's illustrations and sketches of Canadian life and scenery are used excluto sively in illustrating the new guide-booCanada, compiled and just issued by the Dominion government. k The free Monday scientific lectures have become so popular among the daughters of the artisans of Birmingham, England, that washing day has been changed to Tuesday.
