There are many animals that practice nothing but pure Vegetarianism, and yet, as characters, they do not improve. Linnæus states the cow to eat 276 plants, and to refuse 218; the goat eats 449 and declines 126; the sheep takes 387, and rejects 141; the horse likes 262, and avoids 212; but the hog, more nice in its provision than any of the former, eats but 72 plants, and rejects 171.

Infusorial Reproduction.

The polypi are reproduced just as the blood globules and most cellules in animal bodies are formed—namely, by buds or eggs cropping out from the vital parts, attaining to perfection, and then dropping off somewhat as apples fall from their producing boughs. Among the infusoria there is no direct organic contact for purposes of reproduction; for, like most medusa and worms, each individual is hermaphroditie, having the reproduc

tive organs of both sexes.

Value of Sunlight in Houses.

The following fact, says a good authority, has been established by careful observation; that where sunlight penetrates all the rooms of a dwelling, the inmates are less liable to sickness, than in a house where the apartments lose its healthinvigorating influences. Basement rooms are the nurseries of indisposition. It is a gross mistake to compel human beings to reside partially under ground. There is a defective condition of the air in such rooms, connected with dampness, besides the decomposing paint on the walls, and the escape of noxious gases from pipes and drains. It is strange that builders persist in doing violence to humanity, by still erecting houses with basements.

Enlarge your Thoughts and Perceptions.

Perhaps your experience is replete with items of imperisha ble wealth. Never expect inspirations of truth, however, until you ascend to the altitude of Principles. The eye that permanently contracts its scope to the points of diamonds, however valuable in themselves, is not capable of surveying the chemistry of elements, nor is such a mind capable of feasting upon that happiness which results from the grander and freer employment of the intellectual powers.

We hope and expect to impress hundreds of thousands with the belief that there is no antagonism between enlightened Reason and Nature's highest, most central Truth, which is Father God. If mankind will reverently learn the lessons of Nature, and become intelligently receptive, like the unconscious flower which unrolls its petals to receive the vivifying heat and light of Heaven, they may very rapidly bud and blossom into happy families and progressive Brotherhoods...

What and Where is Heaven?

Heaven, as we use the term, signifies the soul's Harmony with Deity; so that, in very truth, such a person can say: “I and my Father are one." This, and this only, is HEAVEN. Country, climate, time, space, infinity, eternity—these have nothing to do with the soul's true Heaven. Wherever the human spirit beats thankfully and melodiously with the pulsatens of the Soul of Nature, there, in that spirit's silent deep, is the kingiem of peace and righteousness.

Pure Alcohol as a Medicine.

A correspondent writes for information respecting the effect of pure alcohol on a scrofulous system-especially as a remedy in cerebral embarrassments-occasioned by a humor partly inherited, and aggravated by a diseased condition of the liver.

ANSWER. The human system cannot appropriate the liquid known as alcohol. Years after it is imbibed, you will find it in the serum and other fluids of the brain, and in precisely the same state as when it was originally consigned to the stomach. If the blood would accept of alcohol as a component part, or if the solid and tissual structures of the body would temporarily convert the liquid into their uses, then the voice of wisdom would proclaim the utility of an alcoholic remedy for disease. But all this is impossible. The whole body, under the government of the brain, says to alcohol: "Monster! stay without the temple." And yet, we know that there are circumstances and

The Disgusting Habit of Chewing.

ŠI VIEN TIL VA, suys Dr. Dixon, in his Scalpel, on board If my stum beads 12 raser, and you witness the disgusting biha để chewing trey ring of unhealthy mess, nuts and zamīnes, 10 may be fired by traveling hucksters, and immedi swansferred a some human mouth. It would almost seem üst everybody in America is half starved; the chewing, munching, syling, and tooth-picking, has become disgusting to every decena foreigner. Nature requires food periodically; there is ne mistaking the call; when hungry, the stomach and salivary glands are prepared for it. As a general rule, instinct indicates what is wanted, and when it is wanted; and whoever habitu ally eats whenever food of any description is placed before him, will never reach middle life in health. Even animals know better, for when their hunger is appeased they will stop. What a poor slave is he who has learned to chew tobacco! He must always have a big box in his pocket, a big quid in his mouth, and a big dish for the juice. Poor fellow! if he had no company in this filthy habit, everybody would believe him crazy. You say you can leave it whenever you choose. Then clean out your pockets, your mouth; get your linen purified and bleached; burn cotton till the disgusting odor is removed, and quit.

The present annual production of tobacco has been estimated by an English writer at 4,000,000,000 pounds! This is smoked,
