THE LIMITS OF VISION.
It hasbeen asserted that the eye of the
common house fly is capable of discern-
ing on object the five-millionth of an
inch in diameter. Prof. Rogers of Cam-
bridge says he can distinguish lines ruled
in glass which are only 1450, 000 of an inch
apart, simply by unaided vision. Prof.
J. Le Conte, however, places the limit of
human vision for good eyes at the 1-1,000
inch as the smallest distance at which
two objects can be seen apart.
To appreciate the perfection of the eye
as an instrument, it may be interesting
to notice how the other senses would
perform the same work.
For instance, if we take a pair of divi-
ders and stick on each point a. mustard
seed, so that the impression on the skin
shall not be too pungent. and then try on
another person, whose eyes are shut, the
[cast distance apart at which two distinct
impressions can be perceived, it will be
found that on the middle of the back it
is about three inches; on the arm or
back of the hand, about a} to % of an inch ;
on the palm, about 7} of an inch; on the
linger tips about 1-12 or 1-16 of an inch ;
and on the tip of the tongue, about 1-20
of an inch or loss.
Combining humln vision with the
powers of the most powerful and perfect
compound microscope, it is found that
the limit of vision is reached when lines
146,528 to the inch are separated, and
that the theoretical limit of the power to
discern a single object is about 1-118, 000
of an inch. This limit has been nearly
but not quite reached by most perfect
instruments.
When, therefore. the maximum power
of human vision, backed by the most
powerful and perfect microscopes, does
not reach much over about one hundred
thousandth Of an inch, the absurdity of
attributing a limit of one five millionth
of an inch to any kind of unaided vision
is apparent. The eyes of many insects
are indeed . extraordinary organs, and
what we generally designate as the eye
of a fly is really a compound eye, made
up of hundreds and even thousands of
separate lenses called occellitcs. Of
these the common house fly has 4,000 in
the two eyes. The structure of these oc-
celiites is well known, the optical part of
each consisting of two lenses, which
combined form a double convex lens.
That each occellite acts as a separate eye
can be easily proved by detaching the
whole of the front of the compound eye,
and by manipulation with a microscope
it is not difficult to oxaminea photograph
or other object through it. When this
is done a. distinct image is seen in each
occellite. Dr. W. B. Carpenter has
shown that each occellite reflects but a
small partion of the image looked at, and
that it requires the combined action of
the 4,000 lenses of the fly to produce the
same effect as that seen by the one
human eye. The human eye is, there-
fore, it far more perfect optical instru-
ment than the eye of the fly.
Insects have besides these immense
compound eyes single eyes, called ocelli.
The larvae of insects have to depend on
the single eyes, the compound arrange-
ment appearing at the later stage. As
to the limit of vision of such compound
eyes of insects little is certainly known.
The writer of this article, who is him-
self well acquainted with the anatomy
of insects, consulted Mr. J. D. Hyatt of
Morrisania, who is a great authority on
such questions, and who says :
“1 have given considerable attention
to the investigation of compound eyes,
but have made no discovery that would
lead to the conclusion that their power of
vision with respect to small objects ex-
ceeds that of the simple eyes of the
higher animals. The images of objects
formed in the separate lenses composing
the compound eye are proportionally
small, and the question whether insects
can see smaller objects than animals
furnished with single eyes is not a
question of optics, but of the sensitive-
ness of the optic nerve, and consequent-
ly, in the present condition of our
knowledge, a matter of mere conjecture."

HOW BEDOUINS CONQUER THIRSI‘.
In an article on “The Rescue of
Chinese Gordon," to be found in “Open
Letters" in- the Century, General B. E.
Colstou, late of the Egyptian General
Staff, says: “In the ‘Waterless Land,‘
water is the paramount question. If it
be asked how a large body of Bedouins
like the ten thousand who nearly de-
stroyed the British squares at Tamai
manage to subsist, the' reason is plain.
In the first place, they do not need the
the enormous trains required for a Eur0<
pean army. The are the most abstemi-
one of men. Each man carries a skin of
water anda small bag of grain, procured
by pdrchase or , barter from caravans.
Their camels and goats move with them.
supplying them with milk and meat, and
subsisting upon the scanty herbage and
the foliage of the thorny mimosa, grow-
' ing in secluded wadics. These people
could live upon the increase of their
flocks alone, which they exchange
readily for other commbdities; but be-
ing the exclusive carriers and guides for
all the travel and commerce that cross
their deserts, they realize yearly large
amounts of money. As to the water,
they know every nook and hollow in the
mountains, away from the trails, where a
few barrels of water collect ’in some
shaded ravine, and they can scatter,
every man for himself, to fill their water-
skins. On my first expedition, near the
Close of the three years’ drouth, Ireachod
some wells on which I was depending,
and found them entirely dry. It was
several days to the next wells. But my
Bedouin guides knew some natural ros-
ervoirs in the hills about six miles 011‘.
So they took the water camels at night-
fall, and came back before daylight with
the water-skins filled. An invading
army would find it hard to obtain guides,
and even if they did, they mast keep
together, and could not leave the line of
march to look for water. Besides, the
Bedouins, accustomed from infancy to
regard water as most precious and rare,
use it with wounderful economy. .Nei-
ther man nor animals drink more than
once in'forty-eight hours. As to wash-
ing, they never indulge in such ivasteful
nonsense. When Bedouins came to my
camp water was always offered them.
Their answer would frequently be : ‘N 0,
thanks; I drank yesterday.’ They
know too well the importance of keep-
ing up the habit of abstentiousness. No
wonder they can subsist where invaders
would quickly perish."
DEPI‘AVED TASTE OF A CODFISII.
Among the curiosities exhibited at the
headquarters of the Fish CommiSSion in
Washingtou, are fiVO playing cards that
were found in the pouch of a cod cap
tured by Capt. Cornwallis Swim, of the
schooner Sophronia, last fall. Two of
the cards, the Jack of clubs and ten of
spades, are in a perfect condition; but
the deuce of diamonds and deuce of
hearts each have one spot obliterated
and only a. small part of ‘the other card.
remains. It is thought that the chances
of five cards remaining togetherin the
water long enough to be swallowed by a
fish, are rare, and the supposition is,
that the codmust have had tastes for
games beyond his usual prey, and do
liberatcly and separately swallowed the
ends
DI 'ORCE LAWS on Tim. WORLD.
The following particulars as to the
methods of scouring divorces in different
countries may be useful :
Australians—Divorces have never been
sanctioned in Anguilla.
J ews—In olden times the Jews had a
discretionary power of divorcing their
wives. _
Javans—If the wife he dissatisfied she
can obtain a divorce by paying a certain
sum.
Thibetans—Divoroes are seldom al-
lowed, unless with the consent of both
parties—neither of whom can afterward
re-marry.
Moors—If the wife does not become
the mother of a boy she may be divorced
with the consent of the tribe, and she
can marry again.
Abyssinians—No form of marriage is
necessary. The connection may be dis-
solved and renewed as often as the par-
ties think proper.
Siberians—If the man be dissatisfied
with the most trifling acts of his wife, he
tears her cap or vail from her head, and
this constitutes a divorce.
Coretta—The husband can divorce his
wife, or treasure, and leave her the
charge of maintaining the children. If
she proved unfaithful he can put her to
death.
Siamese—The first wife may be di-
vorced, not sold, as the others may be.
She may then claim the first, third, and
fifth child, and the alternate children are
yielded to the husband. .
Arctic Region—When a man desires a
divorce he leaves the house in anger and
does not return for several days. The
wife understands the hint, packs her
clothes, and leaves.
Druso and Turkomen—Among these
people, if a wife asks her husband's per-
mission to go out, and he says “go,"
without adding “but come back again,”
she is divorced. Though both parties
desire it, they cannot live together with-
out being re-married.
Cochin Chinese—If the parties choose
to separate they break a pair of chop-
sticks or a copper coin in the presence of
witnesses, by which action the union is
dissolved. The husband must restore to
the wife the property belonging to her
prior to her marriage.
American Indians—Among some tribes
the pieces of sticks given the witnesses
of the marriage are burned as a. sign of
divorce. Usually new connections are
formed without the old ones being dis-
solved. A mau never divorces his wife
if she has borne him sons.
Tartars—The husband may put away
his partner and seek another when it
pleases him, and the wife may do the
same. If she be ill-treated she complains
to the magistrate, who, attended by the
principal people, accompanies her to the
house, and pronounces a form of divorce.
Chinese—Divorces are allowed in all
cases of criminality, mutual dislikes,
jealousy, incompatibility of temper, or
too much loquacity on the part of the
wife. The husband cannot sell his wife
until she leaves him, and becomes a
slave to him by action of the law for dose
ertion. A son is bound to divorce his
wife if she displeases his parents.

CURIOUS N OTIONS.
By the Hurons the moon is called the
creator of the earth and the grandmother
of the sun. In the myths of Ottawas it is
an old woman with a pleasant white face-_-
the sister of the day star. The Chiquitos
call the moon their mother, and the
Navajos make it a rider on a mule.
Where the planets are worshipped.
preference in honors is generally ac-
corded to the brighter and more con-
spicuous star of the day. But the Bota-
cudos of Brazil give the higher place to
the moon and derive most of the phe-
nomena of nature from it, and in Can-
tral America and Hayti are also people
who hold the moon in no less honor.
Curiously these people find their coun-
terparts among tribes of Western,
Southern and Central Africa, who rejoice
with dancing and feasts at each appear-
ance of the new moon. and expect an
improvement of their condition from its
beneficent influence, and they are not so
far removed from the superstitious
women of civilized Elu‘ope and America
who wait for the increase of the mbon to
change their dwelling, to cut their hair,
to be married, and to baptize their
children.
A belief existed among the ancient
Mexicans and Peruvians, the Natchez of
the Mississippi», and the Apalachians of
Florida, that the sun was the radiant
abode of dead chiefs and braves.
To the Esquimaux of Labrador bo-
longs the honor of having discovered
that the moon was the paradise for the
good, while the wicked were consigned
to a hole in the earth ; although some of
the South American Indians and the
Polynesians of Tokelau may be nearly
abreast of them in the competition.

A SHINING TREE,
Says the Tuscarora (New) Times: A
.most remarkable tree or shrub grows in
a gulch near some springs, about twelve
miles nOIth of Tuscarora. It is about
six or seven feet in hight, with a trunk
which, at its base, is three times the size
of a man’s wrist. It has innumerable
branches and twigs, and resembles some-
what the barborry tree. Its foliage at
certain seasons of the year is so lumi-
nous tlfat it can be plainly distinguished
in the darkest night for a distance of
more than a mile, while in its immediate
vicinity it omits sufficient light to enable
a person to read the finest print. Its
foliage is extremely rank, and its leaves
resemble somewhat, in size, shape, and
color, those of the aromatic bay tree of
California. The luminous property is
evidently parasitic, which, upon being
transferred by rubbing to a person’s
hand, imports to it the same apparently
phosphorescent light, while that on the
leaf entirely disappears.

' DUMPY WOMEN.
Women, especially those of the upper
classes, who are not obliged to keep
themselves in condition by work, lose
after middle age, sometimes earlier, a
considerable amount of their height, not
by stooping, as men do, but by actual
collapse, sinking down—mainly to be at-
tributed to the perishing of the musc’es
that support the frame; in consequence
of habitual and constant pressure of stays
and dependence of the artificial support-
by them afforded. Every girl who wears
stays that press upon these muscles and
restrict the free development of the fibres
that from them, rblieving them of their
natural duties of supporting the spine,
indeed incapacitating them from so do-
ing, may feel sure she is preparing her-
self to be a dumpy woman.
W
A PRETTY HAT BACK.
‘—
A charming fancy for a hat rack is the
trunk of a tree with the branches cut off
of the limbs, and the limbs out back to
convenient length for pegs. It may be
varnished or not according to taste, but
ineither case it is very pretty, and novel.
AN OLD NEW ENGLAND CUSTOM.
In early New England days, as far
back as the middle of the eighteenth cen-
tury. when hospitality was a. practice as
well as a virtue, there was in most
houses only one large assembly room,
and there the family and all the guests
and chance callers gathered on Winter
night: about the blazing fire of logs.
We know that youth was youth and
love was love, and young men were
timid and maidens were shy, and court-
ship went on in those days. How was
courtship possible in this common room.
where every word was heard and every
look taken notice of i We read in the
admirable volume on the recent centen-
nial'of Long Meadow, Mass, by Profes-
sor Richard 8. Stone of that town, that
in the Winter evenings, for the conven-
ience of young lovers, since there was no
"next room," courting sticks were used
—that is, long wooden“ tubes that could
convey from lip to eargsweet and secret
whispers. Was this an invention pecu-
liar to Long Meadow? It is a charming
picture that this calls up of life in a
Puritan household, this tubular love-
making, the pretty girl (nearly every
girl is pretty in tho fire-light Of long
ago) seated in one stiff high-backed
chair, and tho staid but blushing lover
in another-{handling the courting-stick,
itself an open confession of compiacenoe,
if not of true love. Would the young
man dare to say, “I love you," through
atube, and would he feel encouraged by
laughing tender eyes of the girl when
she replied, through the same passage,
“Do tell?" Did they have two sticks,
so that one and could be at the ear and
the end of the other at the month all the
while? How convenient, when the
young man got more ardent than was
seemly, as the flip went around, for the
girl to put her thumb over the end of
the tube, and stop the flow of soul! Did
the young man bring his stick, and so
announce his intention, or did the young
lady always keep one or a pair on hand,
and so reveal both willingness and ex-
pectation? It was so much more con-
venient than the telephone, with its
“ hello " and procclamation to all listeners
at each end of the line. Lovers can
make love with anything, even with a
telephone; the successful courting of a
deaf person (for there is one word that
nearly everybody likes to hear), as we
know, can go ow through a speaking-
trumpet ; but these courting-sticks seem
to us the m plus ultra of tender commurii-
cation—when a third party is present.
They would be very useful new at large
parties, where there is such a din and
bable that one om only court a pretty
girl at the risk of bronchitis or laryngi-
tis. Sometimes in the jam you cannot
get near the girl. but with a long court-
ing-stick you could wile her away from
from her too near admirer. This inven-
tion seems to us worthy of revival for
many reasons, and we should be glad of
any further information in regard to it.
Civilization in its progress drops a good
many things that ought to be retained.
wouxns on DEED—AKIN ACTION.
A curious article might be written on
the immunity from Wounds in action of
some generals, and the ill-fortune of
others in becoming the billet for a bul-
let. No commander was over more for-
ward in the fighting line than Sheridan,
yet he never got a scratch. Skobeiefi',
who many a time went at it with his own
good sword, and in his white coat and
on his white charger headed every charge
with a reoklemness that men called mad-
ness, had as complete an immunity as if
he carried the charmed life that his sol-
diers ascribed, and was wounded only in
the quiet trenches by a chance bullet
fired into the air a mile away. Welling-
ton was but once hit; the bullet that car-
cried away his boot-heel scarce gave him
a contusion. Grant was never struck;
no more was Napoleon. ,.
Of Sir Neville Chamberlain, again, one
of the most distinguished officers of the
Indian army, the saying goes that he
never went into action without receiving
a wound, and the gallant old man flies
been fighting pretty steadily ever since
the first Afghan war. Bazaine was a
man to whom fortune was not stingy in
the matter of wormds. At Bomy there
came to him the leaden reminder that he
was mortal, though this time it was but a
gentle hint. The fragment of a shell hit
him on the left shoulder. but it had been
well spent, and because of the protection
of the opaulette gave him but a contu-
sion, for which he had pain for several
days, especially when on horseback

FRENCH AND ENGLISH DETECTIVES.
In England we have a curious but
very erroneous idea that if apolicemar
wears a suit of plain clothes instead 0!
his regular uniform he is fully able tr
find out all about any crime that has
ever been committed. A greater mistakr
never made. Not only to the “danger-
ous classes," but to almost every
Londoner who is anything of an obser
ver regarding his fellow-men, “plain-
clothes" officers, as our detectives arr
called, are actuallyas well known as if
they wore the helmet, blue tunic, and
black leather waistbelt of the regular
policeman. It is quite otherwise in
France. A French defective has nothing
whatever to do with serving summonses
or warrants He never arrests a crimi-
nal, but he points out to the regular
police whore criminals ureto found. It is
only on very rare occasions that he even
appears as witness against a prisoner,
and when he does so he assumes for the
future a dress and general appearance
quite unlike what he has hitherto home.
A French detective who cannot disguise
himselfinsuchamanner that hisoldest
friend would not be able to recognize
himisnot deemed worth his salary. He
takes the greatest professional pride in
this art. In a word, the French defec-
tives are the spies sent by the army of
law and order tofind out all about the
onemythat is constantly waging war
against life and property. In England we
have no similar set of men, and what are
the consequences? Why, that unleu a
murderer, burglar, or other offender is
either taken red-handed. or leaves be-
hind him somevery plain marks as to
who heis or where he is to be found,
crime with us is, as a rule, undetected.
Sooner or later, notwithstanding our
national prejudices against all that is
secret and underhand, we must adopt
a system for the detection of crime on
the plan that is found to work so well in
France, and the sooner we do so the
better, unless we want to make England
in general, and'London in particular,
more than even it is now the happy
hunting-ground of all the sooundreis in
Europe. All Frenchmen who have
visited our country say that our ordinary
police is the very best in the world;
that the manner in which they preserve
order in the streetsp's above praise ; and
they are right. Nor can a word be said
against the character, .the integrity, or
the intentions also of our detectiVes.
But the system on which theyare trained
isessentially bad. They are the wrong
men in the wrong place-the square
pegs in the round holes.

we should do, everything wocan for

of what they omit to do for us.

WONDERS 0F MODERN
The two sciences which are progressing
with almost startling . rapidity are
chemistry and surgery. These promise
to distance all others, not excepting
geology, which isa comparatively new
branch of scientific investigation. The
recent discoveries in chemistry are
certainly very extensive and most im-
portant, but somehow the curative pro-
cesses do not keep pace with the finding
of new affinities by the chemists and the
new compounds which result therefrom
The doctor is still hardly wiser than in
the days when he discussed the merits of
Brown, Rush, Chapman and Watson.
Only the surgeon has advanced in his
art to a degree that would amaze experts
like John Hunter, Valentine Mott, Stone
and Nott. Amputation for trivial causes
is growing more uncommon, and the
hacking process yields tothe bold and
scientific methods of surgeons more dar-
ing than Velpeau. Recently, at one of
the New York hospitals, a. patient with a
fractured skull came away, while other
portions were skillfully extracted, and
result was that a part of the gray matter
of the brain protruded several inches.
The arteries running near the surface of
the gray convolutious could be distinctly
seen answering the pulsations of the
heart. A rupture of one of those little
rivers of blood would have been fatal,
unless, indeed, it could have been quick-
ly tied, a feat yet to be accomplished in
that portion of the human system The
protruding brain was pushed gently
back into the skull, and the dam mater.
whiehhad been ruptured, was sewn up
with oatgut, which the absorbents will‘
soon take up and scatter throughout the
body. Injuries to the dura . mater
have heretofore been regarded as neces-
sarily fatal, the membrane being thinner
than tissue paper. The curative process
of nature will cover the opening in the
skull, first with a grizzly substance, and
than with bone of sufficient thickness to
protect the brain. In Louisville, Ky.,
not long since,- a severe and dangerous
experimental surgical operation was
made on a patient while under mesmeric
influence. That astonished the medical
faculty, but the New York achievement
lays it in the shade. There is no doubt
surgeons hereafter reaching internal
organs, so that organic lessons can be
directly, and not indirectly, treated, as
now. The capacity of man to endure
enduring and meet all the requirements
of scientific treatment exceeds all other
animals. He has as helpful curative
agents hope and will power. His recon-
struction through surgfial art and
remedial agents is but a question of
time. Not only will longevity be in-
creased, but the general health of man-
kind also. Infinity, of course, has all tr
do with such progress.
SURGERY.
COUNTRY ROAD MAKING.
It is a matter of universal comment
with travellers that country road making
in the United States is either a lost art or
a to-bc-acquired science. The average
selectman or road agent of a country
town is usually deplorably ignorant of
the first principles of making a good
road. In England and most of its de<
pondencies the roads are made directly
by the state or under its supervision.
As a result, the contrast between Eug-
lish roads and those of this country is
much in favor of the former. A common
and natural mistake of most towns in
this country is that an intelligent farmer
must necessarily know how to makes
good road, but the reverse is the fact.
Road making is a subject requiring
study and a knowledge of the nature of
soils. A well made road even in our
climate and with the wide difi‘ereuce in
soil ingredients, will last for years,
whereas ordinarily the items of repairs
on our roads means an entirely changed
thoroughfare, the pitch, watersheds and
general character being more in the way
of experiment than a scientific renova-
tion. The country road maker room-
mences by throwing out the big stones
on to the side of the road, retaining the
smaller ones, when by thoroughly bed-
ding the big stones the best possible
foundation ishad, and with a. covering
of small stones mixed with gravel, or
even with good loam carefully harrowed
and scraped, a road bed is formed which
will defy both rain and heavy teams.
Generally the tyro devotes his time to
heaping the material in the centre with
such a slope as often to interfere with
locomotion, and which heap the first
heavy team resolves into deep ruts, viti-
ating its usefulness for any buts simi-
larly heavy team, and for it only with
constantly increasing strain on the
horses. Yankee ingenuity has invented
capital road making tools which need
but intelligent application to develop
such thoroughfares as would make them
admired in place of being a reproach
and shame. Our country is rich enough
to place the roads in the hands of such
government as will insure their perfec-
tion instead of leaving them to town
officials without the education or experi-
ence necessary to an accomplishment of
the object. _
W
PAINTING.
It is surprising how everybody rushes
at a fainting person and strives to miss
him up, and especially to keep his head
erect. There must be an instinctive ap-
prehension that if a person seized with a
fainting or other fit fall into a recum-
bent position death is more imminent.
Always remember this fact, namely:
Fainting is caused by a want of blood in
the brain. The heart ceases to act with
sufficient force to send the usual amount
of blOod to the brain, and hence the per-
son loses consciousness because the
function of the brain ceases. Restore
the blood to the brain and instantly the
person recovers. Now, though the blood
is propelled to all parts of the body by
the action of the heart, yet is still'under
the influence of the laws of gravitation.
In the erect position the blood ascends
to the head against gravitation, and the
supply to the brain is diminished as
compared with the recumbent position,
the heart's pulsation being equal. If,
then, you place a person sitting whose
heart has nearly ceued to beat, his brain
will fail to receive the blood; while if
you lay him down with the head lower
than the heart blood will run into the
brain by more force of gravity, and in
fainting in suflcient quantity to restore
consciousness. Indeed, ‘ nature teaches
us how to manage fainting persons, for
they always fall and frequently are at
once restored by the recumbent position
into which they are thrown.
BN'UF!‘ IN CORNWALL-
says an English contemporary: The
miners of Cornwall are the best custo-
mers of our snufi merchants, their con-
sumption being enormous. Nearly a
hundred tons of snuff-what is known
as “violet sand” is their favorite
“sneeze"—-will go down‘to them in a
year, all done up in One-pound packets.
“ Tom Buck?"is a sand whiohis sent in
large quantities into Yorkshire, where it
is extensively consumed by the mill-girls.
The straw-planing girls in Bedfordshire
also manifest a strong partiality for thin

GERMAN SERVANTS.
In their own country they are admira-
ble, clean, obliging, and wonderfully
hard working, but they lack the finish of
good English servants. One great merit
they certainly possess—though orderly
in their work, yet if the daily routine is
interrupted they are not utterly upsaf
and demoralized. Our servant kept
eight rooms clean, and very clean, never
a speck of dust to be seen, cooked for
herself and the landlady, fetched our
dinner from the restaurant, carried up to
our etage (the second) all the wood and
water that was required, scrubbed the
stairs and passage every week, and yet
was always ready to run a message or
post a letter, and, dressed in her best,
frequently went with me to the evening
concert, and came back to fetch me at 10
o’clock. She was never in bedtill 11,
and was at work by 6, neat and smiling,
with no shade of the weary, jaded
look so sad to see in an English “ slavery. "
It. is a mistake to suppose that wages are
very low iii-Germany; £20 is a very
usual sum for a cook, and one servant we
had in our lodging when she married
had £40 in the savings bank. The econo«
my in a German householdis that the
servants live very plainly, and one does '
the work thatWith us would be divided
between two' or three. The feeling of at-
tachment and interest in “the honor of
the family,” so observable in Scotch ser-
vants, is very general, and Without un-
due familiarity German servants are al-
lowed to share in the joys and sorrows of
their employers. The men servants are
strikingly free from the insolent swagger
of “Jeames,” and show the same sim-
plicity of nature as their masters. I re-
member a trifling incident which greatly
amused me. When I was going to an
audience at a royal Sohloss, as I got out
of the carriage a bow of my sash caught
in the door and was torn ofi'. “ Oh.
what a pity, Gnadiges Fraulein!” ox-
claimed one of the fiuukies who was as-
sisting me. “Never mind, I can pin it
on!" and producing a pin, he carried
out his promise with a neathandedness
worthy of an old soldier, which no doubt
he was.
W
THE DIET on A MONKEY.
Dr. Allison, a London physiéian, has
been making experiments on a monkey.
He says: “Some time ago I bought a
rhesis monkey, intending to study his
habits. He is about eighteen inches
high, and fame. I feed him with the
same food I take myself. 'He likes fruits
best of all ; raw grains and cooked vege-
tables and potatoes next. He prefers his
potatoes without salt, and his rice with-
out sugar. Peas and beans he will not
out unless very hungry. He always eats
with his hands, the same as the Turks,
and, as he does not washthem before-
hand, he swallows much dirt. When I
give him hot food he has to wait until it
cools before he can eat it, or before he
dare thrust his hands into it. I tried his
plan a few times with my porridge and
stews, and had to wait before I dare
finger them. I thought that if mankind
were forced, like my monkey. to eat with
their fingers, that we should not damage
our teeth and stomaches with hot foods,
nor should we indulge in soups. Soups
are very good for exhausted people, but
not so good for persons in health, as they
are not as easily digested as more solid
articles; in fact, the superfluous fluid
they contain must be absorbed before
digestion goes on. Every food I offered
him was first of all smelt of, and then, if
the smell was agreeable, he ate it; if
otherwise, he threw it down. If man-
kind would ulways be guided by the
sense of smell we should eat less rotten
cheese, high game, etc, than we do, and
consume more delicious fruits, whose
aroma naturally attracts us. He is also
a nose breather, and I never saw him
breathe once through his mouth—another
good example which mankind might fol-
low with benefit, as we naturally are
nosebreath ers. "
W
THE WORSHIP OF GOLD.
The worship of gold can be shown to
have descended to us from sun worship,
which, in some form or other, has been
almost universal. In plain words, men
took to collecting gold and making gold
trinkets, charms, and amulets, because
gold was Of the same color, and possibly
of the same divine material, as the sun.
The sacredness of gold seems indicated
by Pindar, who, invoking Theia, the
mythical mother of the sun god, ex-
ciaims, “Through thee it is that mortals
esteem mighty gold above all things
else i" Originating thus in the most
absurd superstition, the supposed like-
ness of the yellow metal to the color of
the sun god's face,.the value of gold has
prevailed over the world for so many
ages that it has become a hereditary pas-
sion; and because of the value thus set
on it, and for no other reason, gold has
long been thehighest metallic medium
of exchange. Mr. Robert Brown, F. S.
A., in his learned and interesting
treatise, “The Myth of Kirke," remarks :
“ The links between gold and solar divini-
ties are endless, and the circumstance
supplied a natural basis for the commer-
cial value of the metal." Elsewere the
same writer observes: “The bright solar
divinities are, of course; rich in gold, 0.
metal originally owing its importance to
its yellow (sun) color, which made It at
once semiisacred and symbolic long are
itreceived an artificial commercial value."

THE ‘BLUE CAT.
The “blue on ” is the" salmon of the
West, the brook trout of the Missouri.
Twenty odd years ago there wasa period
'of wild excitement in San Francine.
Tall, muscular men met each other and
spoke in hushed tones of intense ex-
citement Everybody knew that some-
thing of grave importance was about to
transpire, but only a favored fifty or so
were aware that a “blue out” had been
shipped overland. carefully kept in ice
the entire journey, and that the sacred
fish was to be served up to all loyal Mis-
sourians that day. The “out" weighed
about twenty-five pounds and it cost in
the neighborth of $150 to place it on
the table in San Francisco. There were
men who would have given that entire
amount to secure a morsel of it, who had
to revel ig“blue ca ” imagination that
sorrowful day.
‘ A PEN-PORTRAIT or OUIDA.
My attention was attracted bya woman
some forty years of age, who was gor-
geously attired and seemed in her man-
ner tofeel that shows somebody and
anxious to impress others with that fact.
She was tall, well set up, with England’s
limestone formation in the way of bones,
well covered with adipose rather coarse
in tissue, garnished with light blue eyes
and an abundance of yellow hair. There
was something vulgar in this woman's
appearance when quiet and it became
oppressive when she moved. and that
. was nearly all the time. She seemed to
court observation and at the sumo time
despise if. Iwas not surprised when a
friend told me that this bumptious per-
son was none other than Ouida, the well-
known novelist. —Ec.

FEARFULLY COMMON.
There is something startling in the rapid in.
crease of Kidney diseases among the American
people within a few your past. Many causes' pe-
culiar to certain classes tend to produce and ag-
gravate these troubles—as, for example, careless
living, overwork, and exposure. Dr. David Ken-
nedy, of Rondout, N. Y., is often congratulated on
the exceptional success of his medicine called FA-
VORITE REMEDY in arresting and radically cur-
ing these most painful and dangerous disorders.
Proofs of this, like the following, are constantly
and are published by him
for the sake of thousan s of other sufferers whom
he desires to reach and benefit. The letter, there-
fore, may be of vital Im ortance to you or to some
one whom you know. t is from one of the best
known and popular druggists in the line and grow-
ing city from which he writes-and doubtless where

SPRINGFIELD, MAss, March 22, 1884.
Dr. D. Kennedy, Readout, .V. Y. .-
DEAR Sm: For ten years I had been unlisted
with Kidney disease in its most acute form. What
I suffered must be :eft to the imagination—for no
one can appreciate it except who have gone
through it. I resorted to many physicians and to
many different kinds of treatment, and spent a
great deal of money, only to find myself older and
worse than ever. 1 may say that I used 25 bottles
of a preparation Widely advertisedas a specific for
this precise sort of troubles, and found It entirely
useless-at least in my case.
Your FAVORITE REMEDY—I say it with a per-
fect recollection of all that was done for me be-
sides ls the only thing that did me the slightest good;
and I am happy to admit that it gave me permanent
relief. I have recommended FAVORITE REM-
EDY to many people for Kidney disease and this]
all agree with me in saying that DR. DAVID KE -
NED Y’s FAVORITE REMEDY has not Its equal in
the wide world for this distressing and often fatal
complaint.
