We Are not told whether the Seven
Sleepers who retired to a cave in Ephe-
sns during the reign of the Christian
lilling Emperor Deciua, anil only woke
up 153 years afterward, when Theodo-
lias II was on the throne, made any
special preparation, but probably they
did not. Perhaps it was not necessary.
Those were stirring times for members
of the new faith; and they had little Op
portunity to grow obese., Bat as a rale,
to fast successfully it is said to be neces
nary for a man to abstain beforehand,
and reduce himself most carefully to the
required condition by a long course of
preparation. Pre eminent at this - art of
suspending animation for an art it- be
cemes are the Easterns, and most won
derful stories are told of tne natives of
India, which, whether their powers are
due to narcotic's or any other process, the
seem to open up if true a wide field of
medical study. ' One of these Indian
stories, not easily accessible, but of con
siderable interest on account of the
known veracity of the witnesses, will
probably be read with interest at tbe
present time, and is -inserted here. The
author of it was one Hon. Capt. Osborn,
and the notes made of his statement, here
subjoined, come from an almost unique
copy printed for private circulation.
"Bunjeet Singh had heard from a seyd
or fakir, who lived in the mountains,
that the latter oonld allow himself to be
buried when in a condition of apparent
death, without really ceasing to live,
seeing that he understood tho art of be
ing brought back to life on being ex
humed after several months had passed.
To the maharajah this appeared to be
a rank impossibility. In order, however,
that he should be convinced one way or
the other.be ordered the fakir to be
summoned to the court; and caused him
to undertake the singular experiment,
under a threat that no means of precau
tion wonld be wanting toward the dis
covery of fraud. The fakir consequent
ly caused himself to appear in a state of
apparent; death. When every spark of
1U had seen ingly vanished, he was, in
the presence of the maharajah and the
nobles who surrounded him, wrapped up
in the linen on which he had been sitting
and on which the seal of Uunjeet Singh
was placed. The body was then depos
ited in a chest, on which Bunjeet Singh,
with his on hand, tlxed a heavy padlock.
The oheet was carried outside the town
and buried in a garden belonging to the
minister; barley was sown over the spot,
a wall was erected around it and senti
nels posted. On the lortieth day, when
tbe chest containing the fakir was dug up
and opened the man was found cold and
stark - in precisely the same condition
at that in which he. had been left.
With much trouble he was restored to
life by means of heat applied to the head,
nation in the ears and mouth, rubbing
. .e body, etc. The minister, Rajah
D jyan Singh, assured a friend that he
h id this fakir, whose name was Haridas,
lor a period of foor months under the
faith at Jammeo in the mountains. On
the day of his burial he had caused his
beaid to be shaved off, and w hen he was
taken up- again his chin vt as Just as
smooth as on the day when he was con
sigDjidiathe earth a proof, as would
seem, ox buslwwuou auuuauuu. it. is re
lated that the fakir in question took a
Dursative some time before the burial
display, and lor several aays aiterwara
lived onlv on sr scanty milk diet. On
the day of the interment it is said that
instead, of taking any nourishment, he
swallowed 80 yards of a strip of linen of
the breadth of j three nngers, wmcn ne
immediately drew up again, his object
being to clean the stomach. However
wonderful and perhaps laughable these
operations appear to many, it is plain
that these people must have a singular
control over the uiuerent organs of their
bodies, and more especially over their
muscular contractions. When all the
necessary preparations have been accom
plished,, the fakir closes all the openings
of his body with stoppers maae oi aro
matio wax, lays his tongue far back
in bis throat, crosses his hands
on his breast, and suspends ani-
nation by means oi noiaing nis breath.
On his being brought back to life one of
the first operations is, by means of the
nngers, to draw the tongue away from
the back of the throat; a warm and aro
matio paste made of meal is then placed
on his head, and air is blown into his
lungs and into the ear-holes, from which
the wsx stoppers hsve been removed,
the stoppers in the nostrils being pres
ently forced out with an explosive noise.
This is said to be the first sign of a re
turn to lifo. ' He then gradually com
mence to breathe, opens the eyes, and
recovers consciousness, continuous fric
tion of the body being carried on all of
the time
"Here is a further curious- statement
of opinion on the subject of Indian sto
ries from an equally rare source, the lit
tle p imphlet of Sir Claude Wade, pub
I she 1 in 1837 'I was present, he
writes, 'at the Court of Runjeet Singh
when the fakir, mentioned by the Hon.
Oapt. Osborn, was buried alive for six
weeks; and, although I arrived a few
hours after his actual interment, and did
not, consequently, witness that part of
. the phenomenon, I had the testimony of
Bunjeet Singh himself, and others of the
most credible witnesses of the court, to
the truth of the fakir having been buried
before them; and, from my- having been
myself present when he was disinterred
and restored to a state of perfect vitality
in a position so . close to him as to
rend r any - deception impossible, it is
my firm belief that there was no collu
sion in producing the extraordinary
sight which I have to relate. I will
briefly state what I saw, to enable others
to judge of the weight due to my evi
dence, and whether my proof of collu
sion can, in their opinion, be detected.
On the approach of the appointed time,
according to invitation, I accompanied
Bunjeet Singh to the spot where the
fakir had been buried. It was in a
square building, called a barra durra, in
the middle of one of the gardens adjoin
ing the palace at Lahore, with an open
veranda all round, having an enclosed
, room in the centre. On arriving there
Bunjeet Singh, who was attended on the
ocasion by the whole of his court, dis
mounted from his elephant, asked me to
join him in examining the building to
satisfy himself that it was closed as he
had left it. Alter our examination we
seated onrselves in tbe veranda opposite
the door, while some of Bunjeet Singh's
people dug away the mud wall and one
of his officers broke the seal and opened
the padlock. When the door was thrown
open nothing but a dark room was to be
seen. Runjeet Singh and myself then
entered it, in company with the servant,
and a light being brought, we descended
about three feet below the floor of the
room into a sort of a cell, where a
wooden box about four feet long by three
feet broad, with a sloping roof, contained
the fakir, tbe door of which also had a
padlock and seal similar to that on the
the outside. On opening it we saw a
figure inclosed in a bag of white linen,
fastened by a string over tbe head, on
the exposure of which a grand salute was
fired, and the surrounding multitude
same crowding to the dour to see the
spectacle. After they had gratified their
furiosity, the fakir's servant, putting his
arms into the box, took the figure out, '
and closing the door, placed it with its
back against it exactly a the fakir had
been squatting (like a Hindn idol) in
in the box itself. Bunjeet Singh and
myself descended into the cell, which
was so small we were only able to sit on
the ground in front of the body, and so
close to it as to touch it with our hands
and knees. The servant then began
pouring warm water over the figure, but
as my object was to see if any fraudulent
practices could be detected, X proposed
to Bunjeet Singh to tear open the bag
and have a perfect view of the body
before any means of resuscitation were
employed, 1 accordingly did so; and
may here remark that the bag when first
seen by ns looked mildewed, as if it had
been buried some time. The legs and
arms of the body were shrivelled and
stiff, the face full, the head reclining on
the shoulder like that of a corpse.
I .then called to the medical gen
tleman who was attending me to come
down and inspect the body, which he
did, but could discover no pulsation in
the heart, the temples or the ; arms.
There was, however, a heat about the re
gion of the brain which no other part ex
hibited. The servant then commenced
bathing him with hot water and gradu
ally relaxing his arms and legs from the
rigid state in which they were contracted,
Bunjeet Singh taking his right and I his
left ler to aid bv friction in restoring
them to their proper, action, during
which time the servant placed a hot
w beaten cake about an inch thick on top
of the head a process which he twice or
thrice repeated. He then pulled out of
his nostrils and ears the wax and cotton
with which they had been stopped, and
after great exertion opened his mouth by
inserting the point of a knife between his
teeth, and while holding his jaw open
with his left hand, drew the tongue for
ward with his right, in the course of
which the tongue flew back several times
to its carved position upward, in
which it had originally been, so as to
close the gullet.- He then rubbed his
eyes with ghee (or clarified butter) for
some seconds, till he succeeded in open
ing them, when the eyes appeared
Suite motionless and glazed. After
le cake had been applied for the third
time to the top of the head the body was
violently convulsed, the nostrils became
inflated,- when respiration ensued, and
the limbs began to assume a natural full
ness; but the pulsation was still faintly
perceptible. The servant then put some
of the ghee on his tongue and made him
swallow it. A few minutes afterwards
the eve-balls became dilated, and recov
ered their natural color, when the fakir
recognized Bunjeet Singh sitting close to
him, and articulated in a low sepulchral
tone, scarcely, audible, "Do you believe
me now?" Ruujeet Singh replied in the
affirmative, and invested the fakir with a
pearl necklace and a snperb pair of gold
bracelets, and pieces of silk and muslin,
and shalls, forming what is called a
khelat, such as is usually conferred by
the princes of India on persons oi dis
tinction. I share entirely in the appar
ent incredibility of the fact of a man be
ing buried alive and snrviring the trial
without food or drink for various periods
of duration; but, however inoombatible
with onr knowledge of physiology, in
the absence of any visible proof to the
contrary, I am bound to declare my be
lief in the facts which I have represented,
however impossible their existence may
appear to others." London Telegraph.
Ia Cork.
Cork as a "resort" labors under dif
ficulties. When a trans-Atlantic traveler
arrives, the whole world is before him,
and he is conscious of it; he aakes for the
curious places; is wheeled out on a,
to him comical kind of conveyance,
known as a jaunting car, he forgets its
discomfort in laughing at its oddity, and
its effect upon his legs aud stomach (he
hasn't learned how to enjoy it yet) is a
sort of exhilarative tonic, so different
from that elephantine playfulness of the
rough Atlantic that in the joy of his re
lease he is apt to become in a degree
hysterical in his intercourse with the
little world about him. This happy
frame of mind is, however, as ephemeral
as is extreme happiness generally; the
pleasures to come allure him with their
spacious promise; the demon of unrest
possesses him; he visits, as all who have
come and gone, and in the self-same way
the old tower and grove of Blarney and
if lucky returns by the river road; if he
has ever heard of Shand n. its belfrey is
pointed out to him, a mile away, by the
car-driver's whip; he pays his o r fare
and his hotel bill, and after twenty-four
hours of land life is away to Killarney
by express train. When this same
traveller roaches this lost stretch of land
on his return, Cork suffers again; tbe
whole world is now behind him, he has
no more stomach for more novelties, he
is surfeited, his steamer is in. sight, and
his heart yearns for home. Yet, for all
this, some wise ones are found who have
spent a week or more in and about
Queenston and along tbe coast, with the
f ulest appreciation of the kindness of the
people, the greenness of the grass, and
the sweetness of the air, after their eight
or nine days of "ocean blue."
Of course we made tbe pilgrimage to
Blarney Castle, its lovely grove, and its
famous lip-worn stone, to which we
kissed our hands, and returned by the
Lee, a swift-running, rather full and
handsome river that widens and deepens
as it sweeps through Cork and on to tbe
Atlantic, and upou whosa rapid tide we
floated toward Queenstown next morning
one of those exquisite days of which
we know so little, perfect in every hour
from twilight to twilight, a continuous
Jubilate. These eleven miles of winding
river, from St. Patrick's bridge, Cork, to
the Queenstown quay, should always be
prertrred to the railway, whose tram
dashed past us at full' speed; the eye is
gratified, the mind rested and refreshed,
by this easy sail. Cor. Chicago Tribune.
Schoolboys and Headaches.
Prof. Treichler has delivered a lecture
before the German Association of Natur
alists and Physicians which contains a
fact of some interest to teachers. He
says that headache in schools decidedly
increases, until in some schools, and
notably in Nuremburg, one-third of the
scholars suffer from it. He believes
that the cause is over intellectual exer
tion, caused partially by the adoption of
too many subjects, but principally by
the tendency to demand night-work.
The brain is then freshly taxed when its
cells are exhausted. We begin to hear
the same complaint in England, es
pecially from London schools, and are
tempted to believe that in some of them
an imperceptible but steady in increase
in the amount of night-work demanded
has, been going on, which ia passing a
safe limit. It does not hurt the quick,
and it does not hurt the stupid, but it
does hurt the boys and girls who want
to fulfill , all demands, and have not
quite the quickness to do it. : The usual
quantity of Latin, for example, to be
learned at night has within the last
thirty years more han doubled, while
the pressure from parents upon the
children to learn it has increased in
dearly the same proportion. The in
creased crowding of schools explains
muoli, but it does not explain this head
ache, which is not suffered by the bovs
in proportion to their ill-bealth. The
Spectator.
Japanese Newspapers. Newspapers
are proving a popular novelty in Japan,
where journalism is making great
strides. The Japanese, it is said, have
a keen relish for news and gossip, and
like both none the less for being
seasoned with scandal. The best of the
several hundred newspapers of the Em
pirn are published in Tokio. They em
brace journals of every description, from
the heavy political Nichi Nichi Shimbun,
to the sensational police news gazette,
the Horitzu Mondo, and the comio
paper, Mara Maru Shimbun. The
Japanese joke is very deep in meaning,
and much is left to the imagination. At
tbe time of the visit of General Grant,
who was called "Ban-San" by the people,
a cartoon appeared which was simply a
picture of the Chinese grass called ran,
with this legend: "Owing to the
fashionable rage for this specimen of
foreign horticulture th'e population has
wasted a great deal of money."
I One Hundred Hollar Bees.
D. A. Jones.a member of the Canadian
Parliament, recently returned to bis
home at Beeton, Ontario, from the
island of Cyprus and the Holy Land.
His visit there was for the purpose of
securing queen bees from those coun
tries. His apiary in Beeton is very
large and he has others in the United
Slates. He has also established an
apiary in Lirnica, Cyprus, which is now
in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Benton.
Writing from Palestine to a friend in
this city, Mr. Jones said of bis journey:
I have been delighted with with my
trip through these parts on account
of finding a very superior race of bees
a race I feel sanguine, when tested, will
prove a boon to America; and as I am
tbe first to import them, l nope to get
enough to America to get the race estab
lished there in parity. There appears to
be but one race of bees in the Holy
Land, but they vary in color and in some
other resuecta. and on this account I
hae procured some from almost every
part. These l obtained in tne vaney oi
Sharon, Jerusalem, and all about the
hills of Judea, also east to Jordan and
the Bed Sea, were sent on mules, cam
els and asses to Jaffa, thence by steamer
to the apiary at Larnica. Those I got on
Mount Lebanon, in Herman, Damascus,
and in fact in all the northern part of
Syria, were taken to the coast and
shipped at Beyrout for Larnica. Just
now (April 15) I am getting a supply
from northeast of Damascur, near Pal
myra, and they seem very fine. I have
also received a number of bees for Prof.
Cook, of Lansing, Michigan, for exami
nation under the microscope. I have
with me a stock of amall vials filled with
alcohol, into each of which I place a few
bees. These excite the curiosity of the
natives, and they watch my every move
ment. The dangers of travelling are
very great, as I am forced to go to dis
tant points, quite out of the ordinary
routes, to carry out my object. If my
losses are not too heavy, I will surprise
the bee-keepers of America with this new
race of bees. I find it less difficult to
secure bees here than it wonld be in or
dinary seasons, as the crops were
a failure in Palestine and Syria
last year, and starvation makes
some more .willing to sell their
bees than they otherwise would be. If
I ever get out safe from these tribss I
will have no desire to return, even
should I find a superior race in some
other locality. I will hire the native in
stead to come to me, and let them run
the risk of having fine bees for me to se
lect from, and pay them such sums as
will induce them to perform the work.
In fact, it will be quite impossible to
ever do more than to get a few stocks to
breed from, as the cost is so great. In
some instances each bee could not be got
and laid down safely in America for less
than $100. All I have will surely average
that sum."
Mr. Jones brought with him 200hives.
He placed them on exhibition in London
before his departure for this country.
They were visited by the Baroness Bur-dett-Coutts,
Sir John- Lubbock, Mr.
Terry, of the British museum, and John
Hunter, of the Time.
Upon arrivingin New York. Mr. Jones
said:
Notwithstanding, I have gone to the
antipodes for my pets, I cannot safely
venture any opinion on them yet. I am the
first man in the country who has selected
Cyprian and Holy Land bees in their
native abode, and comparatively little is
known of them. The queens are strong,
hearty bets, able to go long distances,
ajd maintain their own against a supe
rior force. All that I may say further
would be only conjecture. It will take
time to test the superiority of their breed
as honey producers over that of the
Italian or Ligurian queens."
Mr. A. H. K. Blood, of Massachusetts,
was the first beekeeper that introduced
Cyprian queens into the hives of this
country. His were received three years
ago from some friend traveling in the
Holy Land. There were few in number.
Beekeepers who inspected them believed
that they promised much. Next year a
Fort Plain beekeeper introduced the
Cyprians into his apiary, and they pro
duced such results as to cause a sensa
tion among beekeepers and to lead to the
trip of Mr. Jones. The Cyprian queen
is lively and of a very light yellow color
under its body. This often approaches a
straw color. She is ferocious when
attacked, and resists vehemently. Her
workers are much more hardy than
either the Italian or the black bees. It
is said that ineCypress she will live for
six years. The Italian queen s existence
is confined to three or four years. Her
other points are yet to be tested. Her
drones also are superior to the ordinary
Italian drones.
Besides the Italian qneen, the little
black, large brown and gray queen bees
are natives of this country, and have
thrived ever since they were brought out
by the Pilgrim fathers. A good queen
will lay 3000 eggs in a day. Queens are
hatched in fourteen days, workers in
ai out twenty-one days, and drones in
about twenty-four days. Among
the successful beekeepers of this
country are General Fitz John
Porter, who has his apiary in Mor
ristown, Col. Landreth, and S. L. M.
Barlow, Esq., of Glen Cove. There are
apiaries on the tops of large buildings in
this city, and in the yards of many sub
urban residences. Bees find many feed
ing grounds in this vicinity. There are
so many rare trees, plants and flowers
cultivated here, that the honey gathered
is rich in color and sweetness.
Bees fly high in the city. It is necess
ary for them to pass over the tops of tall
houses and escape injury from the
thousands passing along the streets. Yet
they often drop to the sidewalk and add
to "their store from syrup, molasses,
sugar, and other sweet substances. The
yield of honey this year will not be so
large as it has been in former years. In
California, which is a large honey pro
ducing country, the crop this year will
not be one-half as large as the crop of
1878. The yield from counties in this
State will be much smaller than during
former years. The bumblebee stores
her honey in the ground, and beekeepers
get at it only with difficulty. When it
is collected it brings fancy prices.
The Baroness Burdett-Couts, who is
president of the British beekeepers'
association, has written to a merchant in
New York for information as to the man
ner of hiving bees and storing honey in
this country. The Prince of Wales has
an apiary.
Trees and Health.
Everybody knows that trees take
the carbonic acid thrown out in the
breath of men and animals, separate
it into component parts carbon and
oxygen give back tho latter to be
used over again and work up the
former into wood and fruit.
It is also coming to be generally
understood that forest trees do im
portant service in prompting rain
falls, and in bolping to retain tho
burface water for springs, Blreams
and general use.
It is also known that certain
species, planted in malarial locali
ties, help to render the latter healthy
by. somehow using up the deadly mi
asma. It would now appear that trees
growing near drains carry off the
sewerage water.
. A gentleman whose cess drain was
constructed just like his neighbors',
and in the sumo kind of soil, has
found it unnecessary to clean it out,
while the others had to be cleaned
out frequently.
An examination showed that three
large trees, whoso roots had pene
trated into the vicinity of his second
or waste, cess-pool, were clearly the
channels through which the waste
all escaped.
Whether it was changed into
plant-food, us is likely, or was
exhaled through tho leaves, in either
case it viae disposed of with equal
safety.

" Stop till I take a breathing spell."
" Why, you - haven't got half the

Hiss Aeilson's Fortune.
Alluding to the rumor that the greater
part of the fortune of Miss Adelaide
Neilson, the actress, is left by will to
Rear-Admiral Hon. Henry Carr Glyn, U.
B., the New York Herald says:
"Admiral Carr Glyn used to enjoy the
distinction of being the Prince of Wales's
best friend. He is the brother of lxrd
Wolverton, the late liberal 'whip,'
and the son of George Carr
Glyn, the well-known London banker
lie saw a certain amount oi service in his
youth, winning a gold medal for -work
on the Danube under Omar Pasha, and
being with the naval brigade at the bom
bardment of Sabastopol. Since his
wife's death, in 1870, he hjis devoted him
self mainly to the pleasures of the town.

Lord Alfred Paget to the Prince of

and inseparable.' Before this, say tbe
gossips, the gallant admiral, then a cap
tain, hail proposed to Miss Neilson,
whose bright eyes used in those days
to glance at many a fashiona
ble supper table. The Prince remon
strated with his friend. Nobles had
sometimes allied themselves with the
stage, actresses had worthily worn coro
nets, great families might be traced brck
to the green rooms of the past, but
The hiatus in the argument is said to
have been instantly visible to Miss WeiJ
Bon. She refused the Admiral's offer,
and though he vowed that he valued her
love above all the favor of princes, and
would fly with her beyond the confines
of Mrs. Grundy's social territory, and
behaved very much as any other good
hearted, high-spirited and very much
fascinated sailor would have behaved,
she resolutely declined to marry him.
That she loved him her will would go far
to show. But many people believe that
she left no will at all.
Another account states that the Prince
of Wales threatened the Admiral with
exclusion from court circles if he per
sisted in marrying Miss Neilson.
Sothlng Like Ducks.
When a man is thoroughly interested
in something he is reading a very insigni
ficant horse-fly can sometimes worry him
a great deal; The other day one of the
officials in a municipal office was read
ing. A fly alighted on his neck, crawled
up the side of his nose and there stood
fast, and fastened its talons on tbe tender
cuticle. The olfactory organ was
slightly elevated so as to break into
wrinkles, while at the same time a mild,
brushing movement of the hand signaled
the troublesome insect to move away.
It just jumped out about a foot and set
tled back into its former location inside
of a second. The first clutch with its
claws brought recognition in the shape
of a very energetic sparring back and
forth in front of the official countenance,
but the fly hardly waited for the disturb
ance to snbside when he was again
snugly bestowed on the nasal promi
nence. The persistence of the insect had
worn out the patience of the man, and
he broke out, "D n the flies!" The fly
may or may not have understood the ex
clamation, but a quiet stranger who had
just dropped in did understand it, and
he remarked, in tones of the most irri
tating composure, "111 tell yon what is
good for flies."
" Well, what s good for nies r snap
ped out the official.
" Ducks."
" Ducks?"
" Yes, ducks. Out to the Lindell car
stables we keep ducks. The flies worry
the horses mighty bad at this time of the
year, but a car horse can rest easy at ths
Lindell stables."
" And how is that ?' asked the official,
becoming interested.
"Why, they have just plenty of duoks,
I tell you. Didn't you ever Bee a duck
snap a fly? Whenever the flies get thick
on a horse the ducks gather round and
snap every fly that comes in reach. If a
horse lies down the ducks just crawl all
over him. The horses mighty soon find
out who their friends are.and they like to
have the ducks come. In fact, if the
flies get bad the horses will lie down to
give the ducks a chance, xney are so
industrious that the flies keep pretty
well thinned out. I tell you, there s
nothing like ducks for flies' St. Louis
Republican.
The Dbitm Majob. His feet rose and
fell with the regularity of quartz
crushers: his bearskin was as towering
and fluffy as a cat's tail in spring time.
His gauntleted left hand was glued to
his hip, and his gauntleted right hand to
his staff, sawing right and left for dear
life. Then he reached the second line
of review and prepared to salute. First
he raised the staff shoulder high and
wobbled it four times like the walking
beam of an engine. Then he reversed it
and gave one gilderfluke to the right and
two flab dabs to the left, twirled the knob
seven times, flung the. staff twenty feet
in air, and made a motion as if he were
going to turn a triple somerset before it
came down again. Instead of this, how
ever, he caught it deftly, tucked it un
der his right arm, shot out his lest hori
zontally, croaked his elbow and laid the
back of his hand on his brow. And he
did all this with such skill, rapidity and
pride that the small boy cried: "O,
looker him, Jimmy! My eye! don't he
look like a biled lobster nor nothin'!"
Chicago Tribune, A
T
' Buoyancy of Water.
Another terrible steamboat slaughter!
Presence of mind and a slight knowledge
of the special gravity of the human body
wonld bave saved much of this frightful
loss. of life. There was loose wood
enough about the boat to .have floated
ten times the number of passengers on
the ill-fated vessel, if it had been used
with judgment. The human body
weighs about a pound in the water, and
a single chair will carry two grown per
sons. That is, it would keep their heads
above water, which is all that is neces
sary when it is a question of life or
death. The burning vessel was close to
shore, the water was calm and warm,
and all these passengers might easily
have jumped overboard and paddled
laughing ashore, if they had only pos
sessed and used the simple knowledge
that one finger placed upon a stool, or a
chair, or a small box, or a piece of
board, would easily keep the head above
water, while the two feet and the other
hand might be used as paddles to propel
toward the Bhore. It is not at all neces
sary to know how to swim to be able to
keep from drowning in this way. A lit
tle experience of the buoyant power of
matter, and faith in it, is all that is re
quired. We have seen a small boy who
could not swim a stroke propel himself
back and forth across a deep,
wide pond by means of a board
that would not sustain five pounds.
In fact, that sometime small boy
is now writing this. Children and all
others should have practice in the sus
taining power of water. In nine cases
out of ten the knowledge that what will
sustain a pound weight is all that is
necessary to keep one's head above
water will serve better in emergencies
than the greatest expertness as a swim
mer. A person unfamiliar with the
buoyant power of water will naturally
try to climb on top of the floating object
on which he tries to save himself. If it
is large enough that is all right. Bat it
is generally not large enough, and half
of a struggling group are often drowned
in the desperate scramble of a life and
death struggle to climb on top of a piece
of wreck or other floating object, not
large enough to keep them all entirely
above the water. This often happens
when pleasure boats capsize. All imme
diately want to get out of the water on
top of the overturned or half-filled boat,
and all are drowned except those whom
the wrecked craft will wholly bear up.
If they would simply trust the water to
sustain nmety-nine hundredths of the
weight of their bodies, and the disabled
boat the other hundredth, they might all
be saved under most circumstances. An
overturned or water-filled wooden boat
will sustain more people in this way than
it will carry. It would keep the1 heads
above water of as many people as could
get their hands on the gunwale. These
are simple facts, easily learned, and may
some day save your life. Irenton Jy.J.)

Bad Water as a Cause of Disease.
A correspondent of the Scientific Sews
says: It is not strange that doctors and
old women believe that fevers are pro
duced by drinking what is supposed to
unwholesome water. Any absurdity wil 1
be generally believed whenever it has
been preached enough. And the bad
water theory has been preached from
generation to generation to generation,
porhaps from Adam s time down to date
"Doctors frequently examine water
with a microscope and see small 'danger
ous' animals in the water, and report the
fact with the bad cases of sickness 'thus
produced to medical journals, who
innocently publish it all, and without
considering the fact that, with the same
instrument, they can see as many animals
in any and all water that healthy people
drina.
"Now, the facts are, that any person
may drink their fill out of any stagnant
pool of swamp water with tadpoles,
animalcuho, lizards, and all, without re
ceiving any injury therefrom, simply
because tho stomach has a way of dis
posing of the animals: but the lungs
aave not. JUence, persons should cease
to breath while drinking. The lungs
may inhale more than they can ex-pell.
"The water was no worse while all
Memphis was having the yellow fever
than at any other time, and had nothing
to do with producing the fever. While
the prairies of Illinois were being
broken, the people had more fevers per
acre than in any other country, simply
because there was more vegetation per
acre rolled under to rot and poison the
atmosphere; and, during the prevalence
of fevers in Illinois, the water was no
more dangerous than now.
"The are no fevers or ague in any
country where the foil is generally poor,
no matter what can be seen in the water.
"I believed the bad-water theory until
1 commenced to run a pump factory,
which gave me an opportunity to know
what people had in their wells. I did
not need the microscope to see the
slippery remains of dead toads, snakes,
poisoned rats, skunks and woodchncks.
Some people had a well and privy in the
back yard, some respectable distance
apart on tbe top of the ground, but they
were practically all one thing in the
same strata of gravel at the bottom. I
expected to see tbe people get sick: (as
they should) from nsing such water; but
never knew of a case of the kind, which
shows that people may live healthy on
pure air and horribly bail water.
A Frenchman's Idea f"0nr Girls."
Hero is a Frenchman's description of
the American girl: "Uttic to the roots of
her hair, shockingly independent, but
nevertheless a truly virtnous girl. She
loves pleasure, dress and expense;
shows her moral character in all the
nakedness of truth, just as she is, so as
to deceive no one; she knows that she
makes men love her, and likes to make
herself -loved without ceasing to be
virtuous. Nevertheless, she will flirt
with some man for a whole winter.
and dismiss him forever in the spring.
Then she will immediately pick out
another. Her means of fascination are
riches, which never Bleep. She goes
about alone; she travels alone, or,
when it suits her better, with a gentle
man friend. In him she has an un
limited confidence; theirs seem out
wardly to be a oonjugal intimacy. But
. :u. i i i 1. . .
ill is oniy penninea w me elect to de
pict his feelings. He may talk about
love from morning till night, but he
is never permitted to kiss even the
tips of her fingers. She seeks excite
ment and pleasure as much as possible
until she gets married; afterward she
will have a baby every year, will pass
days alone, and spend her nights in
listening to talk about perfected
machinery, inexplosive petroleum, etc.
Then she will allow her daughters to
enjoy the same libery which she her
self knew so well how to enjoy without
abusing. Since nothing unpleasant
or scandalous ever happened to her, why
should not Mary, Fanny or Jenny be
equally discreet and equally well able to
take care of themselves? Moreover,
there is the law of obligatory marriage
to regulate everything in case of disaster
it is the security of families, a mutual
insurance policy against 'fire.' She
creates French fashions; the Parisians
detest her; tbe women of the provinces
(let provinciates) despise her; men of
all nations fall madly in love with her,
but do not marry her unless she be
colossally rich. She has a chevelwe
termeilte, less bright than golden hair;
black eyes, at once frank and bold, and a
patent waist, which all other women are
forbidden to imitate. In a carriage she
reclines upon the cushions, as she would
do in a hammock in a poise perfectly
natural and voluptuous. She walks
firmly, and compels all eyes to drop
before her gaze. She thinks a great
deal about herself and very little about
others. Sbe is like a wild plant planted
in a hot house, which finds Europe too
narrow for it, and boldly stretches its
arms oat through the glass panes of its
house, without troubling itself concern
ing the frailer plants which grow around
it. If she were better understood and
less criticsed, she wonld be valued at
her real worth.

A Jiovel Picture Frame.
Most of the directions given for home

We have all noticed in our walk
through the woods, in the fall of the
year or winter months, how many shades
of green the different patches of moss
display. Some a light velvety corn
color, others an apple-green, and then
again nearer the water's edge we find the
rich green patches more like velvet,
The time to collect it is when the earth
is dry; select the most velvet like varie
ties you can find and pull the fibres
apart, separating each shade into bun
dles, just as you would sort colored silks
before working a pattern.
Take a flat sheet of thick card -board,
and cut an oval piece from the centre.
leaving a hole the exact size of the
picture. Next turn the sheet on the
wrong side, lay a glass over the hole and
draw a line around it with a pencil, then
cut four strips of card-board the length
of these lines, and after piercing them
with an awl, fasten firmly with cords to
the frame. Place the glass in the square
formed by these strips, and on that lay
your picture, if this proves to be a per
fect fit, cut a piece of card-board to cov
ter the picture, place it over the back of
it, and fix it securely in place by means
of small tacks driven into the strips that
form the eases at the back of the picture.
After seeing that each part of your
frame is an exact fit, take two short hair
pins, and pierce the board on the under
side some distance from the top with the
hairpins, one on either side of the
picture. The heads of the hairpins
should be left sufficiently above the sur
face to pass a cord through, and the
points that pieroe the upper side should
be pressed flatly to the face of the board.
The different ports of tho frame being
fitted and ready for use, you can put
them all by but the large square piece.
After looking carefully to be certain that
you begin on the right side, which is in
dicated by the points of the hairpins.
sew a regular row of the darkest moss
around the oval center of your frame;
the second row should be the next dark
est shade, and so on until the lightest
shade comes next the edge that rests
against the wall. In sewing the moss
on, care should be taken to let the vel
vety portion of each row cover the stem
of the one above. When this is finished,
fit all the parts of your frame together,
and hang where it will catch the evening
light. Yon will have a cheap, and
think a pretty sight.

three-quarters of a pound of flour, and,
at the discretion of the commanding ofli-

i'ikuh, uuur, or rice, are to oe consider

compressed vegetables, or a quarter of a
pound of onions or leeks may take the
place of fresh vegetables.
Immense Steamers. Three enormous
steamers intended for the Atlantic trade
are now being built on the river Clyde
one each for the Cunard, the In man and
the Guion linos. The Cunard liner will
have a tonnage of 7,500, and an indicated
horse-power of 10,000. The Guion liner
will be 6,500 tons and 10,000 horse
power. The Inman liner, the City of
Rome, will be the largest and most pow
erful steamer afloat, excepting the Great
Eastern, her tonnage being 8,600, with
engines of 12,000 horse-power. It is ex
pected that these three steamers will be
ca)able of attaining a speed of seventeen
knots an hour under favorable circum
stances, thus rendering the voyage be
tween Liverpool and New York, or vice
tersa, under seven days.
