The much-abused drug clerk is not
the only person liable to accidents with
poisons. A recent case is cited in J ean-

thus killing both children.
It has been a current opinion for cen-
turies that places of burial are haunted
with spectres and apparitions, a notion
indeed that prevailed as far back as the
times of heathenism. Orid speaks of
ghosts coming out of their sepulchres
and wandering about.
All the underclothing of the Mikado
~ of Japan is made of .2 peculiar soft white
silk; and as this “ (on, of Heaven”
never wears a garment twice, nor one
that has been washed, he consumes a

not wasted, for "the royal cast ofi' gar-
ments are competed for as priceless
possessions by his loyal subjects.
At the beginning of every session of
Congress a new white pine top has to be
placed on the Speaker's desk. Pine is
used because the ivory gavel produces
a louder sound upon it than upon some
tougher wood; besides, oak was once
tried, but the occupant of the. chair com-
plained that a sharp blow produced a
stinging sensation in the hand, conse-
quently pine has been used ever since.
The order of the Crown of India, con-
krred on Lady Randolph Churchill,
was instituted in 1878.. It includes
some twenty-six ladies, besides the
wives of Indian Princes all of whose
husbands have held appointments con-

almost as a right on the. wife of the
Secretary for India, which Lord Ran-
dolph now is. It is always conferred in
England by the sovereign in person.
Moles on the face'or on any other por-
tion of the body, unless they are of such
dimensions as to prove an absolute dis-
figurement, should not be tampered
with by applying caustic preparations
recommended by some authorities for
their removal. Even when they are
very large, surgeons and physicians do
not advise their extirpation, as th_e
operation is one generally attended b
painful, if not dangerous, results. . '
It is a general belief that an ivy-plant,
when trained against a wall, will make
the wall damp and cause unhealthy c_on-.
ditions. It is said that the very oppoa
site is the case. If an ivy-covered wall
is examined after heavy rain, it will be
seen that the wall is dry and dusty, the
flat surface of the leaves having con-
ducted the water away from the wall.
The shoots and tendrils of the plant
penetrate the wall also, sucking all the
moisture attainable for their own liveliJ
hood. ' ' .
.The press upon which Benjamin
Franklin worked as a journeyman,
printer in 1725 was very little improved
until 1817, when George Clymer, of
Philadelphia, invented the “Colum-
bian " press. It was the first important
improvement. The power was applied
by a compound'lever. In 1829, Samuel
Bust invented the “ Washington " press,
which superseded all others for a while.
Daniel Treadwelhjof Boston, invented
the first “power" press, and in 1830
Samuel Adams, of the same place,
invented the famous “ Adams” press. \
In the report ofa leading inebriate
asylum in England, under the bending
of family history, it is shown that in
eight cases uncles had been described as
inebriates, in four other cases grand-
fathers had been giver to drink, while
in only two cases are fathers mentioned
as being of drunken habits. Of the
twenty-five cases referred to whiskey or
,whiskey and brandy was the liquor
ghost in demand, as being ‘the favorite
'drink of nine patients. Eight patients
had a craving for spirits, and but only
,one for gin alone. With regard to the
‘causes of inebriety, business and finan-
cial loss or temptation are assigned in
seven cases, domestic loss or trouble in
six others, sociability in four cm and
want of employment in three others.

sun HAD ALI. fruit PRIDE.
He was a new convert to the ranks of
the Salvation Army and was one of the
loudest shouters in the meetings which
were, and still are, being held. He was
telling what religion had done for him,
and after enumerating various sins of
which he had been purged, he came to
the matter of pride. ' ,
“ Before I joined the army," said he,-
“I was as proud as any of you sinners
in the back part of the hall. But now
my pride is all gone; there hain’t a
more humble man than me here‘
tonight."
"Perhaps you dOn’t take any stock in
what I say," continued the humble con-
vert, “ but it's true, every word of it.
To show you that my pride is all gone
I'll go right down from this platform -
and kiss that old nigger woman in the
front seat." ’ .
True to his word the convert started
, for the front seat, and when he reached
the floor both he and the audience had
become motionless. Old aunty had
slowly arisen. Her eyes glowed with
indignation at the blatant insult which
he heaped upon her. The convert who
would have ventured to have kissed her
in that mood might not have pride, but
it would have required a large amount
of nerve.
In a shrill voice she exclaimed:
“Keep away from dis yere; if ye hub
got no pride, why t’ank the Lor' ,1: bob,
an’ you won't do none 0' your kissing
roun' here i”
As the humble recruit sank back on
the stage she said: “You ought to be
'shamed ob yusself, you ole hypocrit,"
and the audience applauded the senti-
ment as aunty took her seat.
The pointer Bazzi formed friendships
with all sorts of animals, and he filled
his house with squirrels, monkeys,
- Angora cats, dwarfs, asses, lie-goats and
Elba ponies. Besides these he had an
enormous raven, who gravely strode
about among the other animals as if he .
were the exhibitor of this Noah’s ark. ,
When any one knocked at the door the
raven called, “Come in l" in a loud
veioe.

ing for stealing from the drug store of
Sheifman, a bottle of Sulphur Bitters.
Before the court this morning, upon be-
ing asked why he should steal, he stated
that. his mother was troubled with Rheu-
matism, and that was the only medicine
that helped her, and being out of money
and work, was the cause of his stealing.
As this was his first offence he was put

unusual SALT.
Saltin the household has two chief
usesgitis a food and it has valuable
antiseptic properties. ‘Most persons are
aware that common salt. _or chloride of
sodium, is one of the many mineral
salts that forma constant part of the
human body and therefore is necessary
in human fOod. The others are all
found combined in ordinary articles of
diet. Wanting lime for the children,
we have recourse to milk, to wholemeal .
or to oatmeal. We do not eat phosphate
of lime, nor even benefit greatly by
taking to lime water as a beverage.
When sailors, and even landsmen, are
sufi'ering from a short supply of potash
salts it is not found at all useful tobuy dry
potash at the chemist's, but their health
mends when they get fresh fruits and
greens, potatoes or lime juice. Common
salt is the only mineral that we habitual-
ly consume as food, and it plays a very
important part in digestion and absorp-
tion of all other foods,
It is strange that this, as well as many
peculiarities in the behavior of salt that
the housewife will be inclined to re-
gret, are due to its power of taking up
water wherever the two meet. There
are incurably damp walls because the
mortar contains salt; Boot and cloth-
ing can never be properly dried after
they havebcen soaked with sea water,
and the table salt is never in good
order during damp weather unless it is,
redried every day in the oven. More-
over, the salt used as antiseptic acts
partly by abstracting moisture from the
meat, andas the moisture is not pure
water, but a solution of various salts
and food materials, it follows that salt
meat is never so nourishing as fresh.
In a diet of salt meat it is generally
allowed that it ' not the excess of com-
mon salt that IS called chiefly injurious,
but the deprivation of other matters
. that are taken from the meal and that
are supplied again in lemon or veget-
ables. Anexcess of salt is no doubt
bad, because of another effect produced
by the love of salt for water ; itis provo-
cative of thirst, and an excessive amount
of even 'the most harmless liquids does
make up for it, while many popular
liquids are not perfectly harmless.
Quadrupeds are found to thrive better
on moist food than on dry food and
water, and evidence tends to prove that
bipeds resembles them in this particu-
lar as in many others.

WESTERN NEW YORK ANTIQUI'EIES.
_ There are in the vicinity of Randolph :
and otherlplaces int Cattaraugus county ‘
remarkable reminders of the mound-
builders.- Near the mouth of the Cotta-
raugus Greek, for instance, there is a
series ,of earthworks that extends to the ‘
Conewango Valley. Between Lake Erie
and Dayton, in Chuuttauqua county,
are the reniiiius of a circular sepulchral
mound which has an elevation of ten
feet. It is 120 feet in circumference.
According to antiquaries, this mound
must have been the burying place of
some great warrior. In the towns of
Lear and Conewango, some years ago,
eight skeletons were found. They were
in a sitting posture, and were arranged
in o‘circlc. Large blocks of mica were
found in the mounds among the skele-
tons. Professor Lakin, of Randolph,
who has given the subject much atten-
tion and study, is of the opinion that,
whatever people might have built these
mounds, they must have regarded mica
as h sacred substance, for in all the
burial mounds that have been opened in
Catternugus and Chautauqua counties
large block; of mica have been found,
As there or o. no deposits of that mineral
in the region where the relics are
unearthed, its presence has always been‘
amystery to scientists. One of these
ancient mounds was opened in the‘
village of Randolph. Three well-prev
served skeletons of human beings who
must have been of a race much larger in:
[stature than ours,4were found, each with
'a large block of mica, three inches thick
and almost transparent, at its feet. On
this mound r. tree three feet in diameter
was growing. The roots of the tree had
,pushed their way down into the ancient
sepiilchre and were entwined about the
skeletons. When the first white settler.
valleys, upward of a century ago, the
remains of numerous fortifications,
sepulclires, licarths and earth-symbols
were all well defined. The most of.
these were leveled in time by the owners
of the land, whose desire for utilizing
the soil out-weighed their interest in
the preservation of the unwritten records
of an extinct race. Relics in skeletons,
pottery, implements and weapons thus
uncovered were, fifty years ago, common
and unvalued portions of the garret
,litter of nearly every farm house in the
region; but of late years they have been.
so drawn upon by collectors and anti-]
quau-inns all over the country that few
of these reminders of the mysterious
race are now among the possessions of
the inhabitants. Professor Lakin has a
notable collection at Randolph, prob-
ably one of the best in the United
States. > 7
, FRENCH LEI-rm: CARRIERS.
Bicycles and tricycles now help many
,a rural postman to “ to make good time,“
as they buy in America, provided their;
beats lie in a fairly level country, with
Itolerable roads. But I am not aware.
,that the letter carriers in the Fen dis-
itricts have profited by the wisdom of,
'their French brethren in the depart-
ment of Landes, that desert region of;
ready marshes and ever shifting sands,.
‘only traversed by muddy, uncertain‘
roads. Year by year, owing to the pro.
valence of westerly winds, the dunes, on
these sand hills are called, encroach
more and more on the fertile tracts,
actually overwhelming houses and vine-
,yards. Here and there, on the marshy
Aieath or in the forests of cork trees, are
scattered- the matched huts of the
,people, who are mostly shepherds, cork
cutters and charcoal burners. One of
their chief industries is the manufacture
of sabots, or wooden shoes, very clumsy
lindeed, but warranted to stand any
amount of wear.
But even these active peasants find it
;exhausting work to alternately trudge _
ankle deep in light, dry sand, or through.
cozy peat moss, so they have borrowed
a hint from the long-legged water birds:
that stalk among the marshes, and have
1adopted the plan of walking on very
lengthy stilts. Thus they get over the
‘ground at a dbuble pace, and being well,
raised over the world, they can keep a
better lookout for their stray sheep or
.swine, or for the position of such game.
,as may be worth stalking at leisure.
lThis, then, is the mode of travel adopted
,by the postman on the southernmost
seaboard of France, while going their.
hounds among the remote villages, con--
keying the rare letters, which must beI
jsuch doubly precious prizes in these
lonely districts.
THE OLD VIRGINIA GENTLEMAN.
Through the whole of the southern
states, but notably through Virginia,
everything dates from the war. The
change which it efl'ected was not so much
a change as a revolution. The old Vir-
ginian has disappeared, never to return.
We can hardly now recover by imagina-
tion a picture of the southern planter in
the day of his ascendancy. Proud, care
less and at ease, born not to produce but
to consume, he lived upon his broad
domains as a king over his dusky troops
of slaves. In a land where free labor
was degraded, foo haughty or too indo.
lent to work, he trained his sons, as
he was trained himself, to despise the
exertion of honorable toil. Rich and
firmly rooted in his position, his influ-
ence determined for generations the
policy of his country, till the election
of the first republican president, a
quarter of a century ago, startled him
'in his thoughtless security. 'When the
waves of the war which followed had
ebbed away, he raised his-head a ruined
and discredited man. His fortune was
all but annihilated. Perhaps he might
have recovered something of his old
position had he remained on his ances-
tral soil. But, too proud to suffer the
humiliation of being seen to work where
he had long lived at. case, he parted

' Lecbartier states that in using pomace
as manure and as cattle food he has
obtained satisfactory results. When,
however, rotten apples were mixed
with sound ones the pomace was .re-
luctantly consumed by cattle.
In a paper on local deflections of the
drift scratches in Maine, .lIIr. G. H.
Stone states that traces of those indi-
cations of secondary glaciation have
been observed, notably in the Sebasti-
cook Valley, the Belfast, and St. George
River districts
Sir C. W. Siemens is cited as the
authority for the statement that no un-
limited degree of temperature can be
reached by combustion. When a cer-
tain point has been attained dissociation
comes into play and both carbon and
hydrogen refuses to take up oxygen.
A recent writer makes a strong plea
for simplicity in the terminology of
science. The late eminent chemist, M.
Dumas is reported to have said that the
complexity and uncoutbness of modern
chemical nomenclature were something
gigantic, and that he found it impossible
to keep pace with all the new theories
and verbal alterations that were flood~
ing his favorite science.
Lieut. Weissmnn reports that the
Lower Kassai, frequently of great
breadth, leads without obstacle into the
heart of the new Congo State. It runs
through a very fertile country, thickly
populated by permeable tribes disposed
to trade. He found the whole region
traversed by him and his expedition re«
markably healthy, and not a single man
was lost through sickness.
Two new types of condensing hygronn
eters have just been described byM.
George Sire. The essential character-
istic of these instruments is that the
moisture is precipitated on a bright
metallic surface without- solution of
continuity. Perfect equality to tem-
perature is secured in both instruments
by the agitation of the volatile fluid and
thinness of the walls of the cylindric
tube. , .
Most of the locomotive superintend-
ents in Germany have declared a pref-
erence for red brass and phosphor-
bronze bushes, instead of strap ends,
for connecting and coupling rode, on
account of their greater simplicity of
construction, greater security in keep-
ing the correct length of rods between
pin centres, less liability, and easier and
cheaper maintenance. ..
Prof. Jo n Trowbridge, in objecting
to the lig emitted by a surface of
platinum at the point of solidification,
adopted by the Paris Conference as the
standard of light, contends that a-better
one might be found in an incandescent
strip of platinum radiating a definite
amount of energy being measured at a
fixed distance, which .will best agree
numerically with the absolute system
of measures now universally adopted
in heat and electricity.
- From the mode of the occurrence and
association of allanite Messrs. J. P. Id-
dings and »W. Cross conclude that it
must now be added to the group of
primary, accessory rock constitutes
similar to zircon, sphene, and apatite,
though allanite appears to be quite uni-
formly distributed through certain types
of rock such as the porphyriefs and
allied porphyrites of the Ten Mile Dis-
trict, Colorado.
Gypsum is generally recommended as
an addition 10 farmyard manures to
prevent the loss of ammonia. From
the experiments of H. Jolie to deter-
mine the loss of nitrogen during the
fermentation of such manures it appears
that the presence of gypsum is in every
respect injurious. It increases the es.
cape of ammonia and decreases the
amount of ammonia fixed in organic
combination. An addition of calcium
carbonate is in the highest degree in.
jurious. Hence the presence of such
substances as chalk and marl should be
avoided. ~
The denticulated sting of bees, wasps,
and hornets, says M. Carlet, of Grenoble,
is charged with poison secreted by two
glands. The secretion of one of the
glands is acid and that of the other is
alkaline. The poison only produces its
customary efi‘ects when both of the
fluids are present in the wound, but the
poison, however, is acid in reaction.
Wasps and hornets inject the venom by
means of a vesicle with contractile walls.
In the bees the poison bag is not cons
farctile, and there is a kind of piston
that works in the fang like a syringe, so
that the syringe is charged and emptied
at each stroke of the syringe.
Ciro Ferrari Von Berold have ob-
served that very extensive thunder-
storms are often attended at their rear
by small but well-marked depressions,
and that the anterior margin of a
thunderstorm forms the boundary be-
tween a region of high pressure and one
of low pressure. In the country visited
by a storm the rain districts assume the
form of eclipses whose major axes are
almost parallel to the direction of the
storm. Hail forms long narrow bands
conciding in direction with that of the
prevalent wind.
LIFE IN .Euazn.
There are many curious things to be
seen about Rio. Strangers always visit
the fish market, where all sorts of shiny
creatures are to be found, most Of them
peculiar to the waters of Brazil. The
whole business is conducted by auction,
and the fish are sold by the basket to
the highest bidders—men who have re-
tail places throughout the city, or peddle
them in the streets. All varieties of
food are paddled about the town, and-
‘the venders attract attention by c1ap~
ping pieces of wood together, and utter-
ing peculiar cries. There are drinking
booths along the, streets, at which all
sorts of beverages can be obtained,
from goat's milk to brandy; and the
native drink, called “cans," made of
the juice of the sugar cane, in the
regular distillery fashion, is sold by the
bucket full. There are plenty of street
car lines, and the population ride. The
cars are always crowded, and everybody
reads a morning paper as he goes down
town, and an evening paper on his way
home. The newspapers are more enter-
prising and newsy than those of other
South American countries, having pretty
full cable reports; and there are plenty of
them. Blackmailing sheets are numer-
ous, as there is no law of libel in the
country.

GLUTTON.
From the Latin “glutto,” one whc
eats voraciously; a gonnanclizer. Vitel-
line, the Roman Emperor (born A. D.
15. died 60), was cal led "The Glutton.’
Visiting the field after the battle of Be-
driac, in Gaul, he exclaimed: “The
body of a dead enemy is a delightful
perfume.” Charles IX. of France,
when he went in grand procession to
visit the gibbet on which Admiral
Coligny was hanging, had the wretched
.heartlessness to exclaim in doggerel
verse 3

Rises from our slaughtered foes.
anius Apicius, who—lived during the
reign of' Tiberius, was also called “ The
Gluttonfl” He spent £800,000 on the
luxuries of his table, and when only
£80, 000 of his large fortune remained, he
hanged himself, thin' king death prefer-
‘nble to “ starvation on such a pittance.”
