A JAPANESE GARDEN.
The Sensation There Experienced Fa
miliarity of Its Animal Inhabitants.
Lafcadio Ilearn, in an article iu the
Atlantic devoted to a Japanese garden,
writes thus of his own garden and some
of its inhabitants:
"Those antique garden walls, high
mossed below their ruined coping of
tiles, seem to shut out even the mur
mur of the city's life. There no sounds
but the voices of birds, the shrilling of
semi, or, at long, lazy intervals, the
solitary plash of a diving frog. Nay,
those walls seclude me from much
more than city streets. Outside them
hums the changed Japan of telegraphs,
and newspapers, and steamships; with
in dwell the all-reposing peace of na
ture and the dreams of the sixteenth
century. There is a charm of quaint
ness in the very air; a faint sense of
something viewless and sweet all about
one; perhaps the gentle haunting of
dead ladies who looked like the
ladies of the old picture-books and
who lived here when all this was
new. Even in the summer light
touching the gniy, strange shapes of
stone thrilling through the foliage of
the long-loved trees there is the ten
derness of a phantom caress. These are
the gardens of the past. The future
will know them only as dreams, crea
tions of a forgotten art, whose charm
no genius may reproduce.
"(If the human tenants here no crea
ture seems to be afraid. The little
frogs resting upon the lotus leaves
scarcely shrink from my touch; the liz
ards sun themselves within easy reach
of my hand; the water snakes glide
across my shallow without fear; bands
of semi establish their deafening or
chestra on a plump branch just above
my head; and a praying mantis inso
lently poses on my knee. .Swallows
and sparrows not only build their nests
on tny roof, but even enter my rooms
without concern one swallow has
actually built its nest, in the ceiling of
the bathroom and the weasel purloin
llsh under my very eyes without any
scruples of conscience. A wild uguisu
perches on a cedar by the window, and
in a burst of savage sweetness chal
lenges my enged pet to a contest in
song; and always through the golden
air, from the green twilight of the
mountain pines, there purls to me the
plaintive, caressing, delicious call of the
yamabato. No European dove has such
a cry. He who can hear for the first
time the voice of the yamabato without
feeling a new sensation at his heart lit
tle deserves to dwell in this happy
world."
WORLD'S FAIR NOTES.

The work of the Missouri world's
fair commission is progressing rapidly
and already a large warehouse in St
Louis is lilling with exhibits of the
products of the soil of the state. With
the ripening of the various crops the
work of collection was begun in south
ern Missouri, progressing northward
with the season. Specimens of grains,
grasses, forage plants, etc., in straw
and threshed, have been secured, in
cluding COl-n, flilX. cotton, Inbil.,,.,-. !
every other agricultural product as de
veloped. Specimens of every kind of Missouri
fruit and berry are being prepared as
they ripen and placed iu crystal glass
jars. This exhibit will be added to
from next year's crop, this year's supply
being kept in cold storage. Already
forty specimens of timber have been
collected, and nearly two hundred more
will be added. The mineral exhibit
will include exhaustive specimens of
line, lead, coal, iron, stone, clays and
shale.

TYPHUS FEVER.
Hot
Invariably Fatal Hut Always
Verj
Dangerous
The word typhus literally smoke
refers to the heavy stupor that charac
terizes this fever. Formerly the name
was used to include also what is now
known as typhoid, which was then re
garded as only a milder form of typhus.
1 he two diseases are wholly distinct,
notwithstanding some resemblance i
certain of the symptoms, savs the
Youth's Companion.
TyphuB fever prevailed extensively
during the sixteenth century in Italy,
franco and I'.ngland. In Englan
sheriffs, judges and jurymen took the
infection from prisoners brought before
them and on aeeount of the prevalence
of the disease in jails it came to be
known as jail fever. Other names have
been camp fever, spotted fever, putrid
fever and ship fever. In England and
Ireland it has repeatedly prevailed wit
great severity within the last two hun
dred years.
There have been occasional outbreaks
of it in the leading seaports of th
United States. Itetween January
181,1, and November I, si,4, one thou

NATURE'S WONDERS.

Intelligence
j t'reittures.
It is not often that we find animals
giving unit mt 1 aid, except in the line of
their domestic duties. To meet with
instances of helpfulness in creatures so
low in the scale as are the "sea-urchins"
on our coast is really remarkable.
lrof. Klder, of Colby university, com
municates to London Nature what he
observed among the echini of Casco
bay.
Among the specimens brought back
from one excursion were four of the
common echini. The last one taken
had been left exposed U the sun some
time before it. was noticed aud properly
cared for.
These four animals were placed alone
in a small iniuarium, and, as we wished
to study their action, each was turned
mouth up. Soon the action began, with
which every naturalist is familiar, and
three of the captives slowly rose on
i?dge, and then deliberately lowered
themselves into the normal position.
The fourth, the injured one, made
much less rapid progress; all it could
achieve was a slight tipping on its disk.
The two nearest echini, from six to
eight inches distant, now moved up
and stationed themselves on opposite
sides of their disabled comrade.
Fastening their tentacles for a pull,
they steadily raised the helpless urchin
111 the direction in which it hud started.
As soon as it was possible, oue of the
helpers moved underneath the- edge of
the disk on the aboral (back side, and
when the half-turn w as accomplished,
the other took station on the oral side,
gradually moving back as the object of
so much solicitude was gently lowered
to the position nature had mailt) most
uouveuient.

IMPORTANCE OF THE NERVES.
The Complex Systcea Whleh Connerta the
Brain with All Eitremltles.
There are very few persons who iiavt
even a slight conception of nerves a;
they exist and of the part which they
have to play in the affairs of life. The
nerves are the 'w he-ei-of fortune," and
any little interference. Jfith their cogs
means a deflection . from the' normal.
The nervous system begins with the
brain and ends at erorr jrtrmity. Lit
tie ends of systems cf complex composi
tions are the teu4rraj?hic. and the trans
far agents of every impression trans
mitted to tba central station. Nerves
are simply .the; exponents of impres
sions, and are not responsible for what
they transmit Nerves start from the
spinal cord, and incidentally the brain,
and. according to the llaltimore Herald,
are simply agents of more important
matters than the various senses which
they subserve. The nerves an: subject
to external influences which are not
regulated on a monetary scale. They
are musters in even' sense ,f the word.
They may maintain their energy for
years, or thev mav serve their time of
duty and degenerate. While they hold
their sway they regulate life; when they
get tired they are useless. The life
of the nerve is a mattc.-of idiosyncrasy.
One may preserve an ideal for many
yearsand another for as many months.
It is the temperament and the individ
ual which act as a balance wheel.
Nerves are subjected to every influence
of wind and weather, to sensations of
sight, hearing, tasting, feeling and
smelling: they have t i attend to every
function of the body and to regulate
the affairs of life. If one could bear in
mind that impressions hav" to be re
ceived and reported it would not require
much reasoning to be convinced that the
lines of delicate tissue which intend to
this work require a little rest, as
well as do the other parts of the body,
and they are human as well as ener
getic ill the performance of duty. The
nerves of the eye. of the ear, of the
hands and feet, of the nose and mouth,
are sensitive bodies, and convey simply
sensitory impressions which have to be
recorded by the brain. These impres
sions are photographed and deposited
in recollection and form the basis of
dreams. The nerves of the body, which
have nothing to do with sensation, con
trol the muscles, both voluntary and in
voluntary, anil preserve the secondary
part of existence. They make you walk,
move your arms and ill general keep
you going. Other nerves, not connected
with the muscles or muscular exertions,
waste their exertions, waste their en
ergy on the various functions of life.

Louis Globe-Democrat the government
had determined to send out a shipload of
cats, the ship to sail from Chester. On
a certain appointed day the king's
officer would be in the city and would
pay sixteen shillings, about four dollars,
for fullgrown toms, ten shillings for
female cats and and two shillings and

BIDDY AND HER N EST.
It Mew Away, bat tihe ricked It Cp aao
Keturned Iu
"I have seen one or two good hen
stories in the New York Tribune,'
writes a correspondent of that paper,
"but I think this one beats them. One
day lost fall it happened that not far
from mv house a board i.as resting on
two barrels, which were about ten feet
apart, and somebody had laid an old
discarded straw hat on it, the crown
lying on the board. An old hen, which
was a great pet with the family, saw
this arrangement and evidently decided
that the old hat was just the thing for
a nest. So she carefully hopped into it
and laid an egg. We decided to humor
her whim, and therefore fastened the
hat to the board. She continued to lay
in this queer nest for some time. 11 ut
one day the hat became unfastened in
some way and blew off the board.
When biddy saw this she began to sing
disconsolately, and we thought she
would give up the hat and seek another
nest. Hut we were mistaken. In a lit
tle while she seized the hat in her bill
and flew with it on to the board, where,
after a great deal of fussing, she adjust
ed it so that she could lay in it After
that we fastened it so that it could not
blow off." . ;
QUEER SOUTHERN PHRASES.
Provincialisms Abound There, and Are
Always Picturesque.
In Dr. Piersnu's description of life in
the southwest as he saw it many years
ago "before the war" m speaks often
of the peculiar turns of speech there
prevalent. He was once present at. an
ecclesiastical meeting where motions
were piled upon each other until mat
ters were in a frightful muddle. Fi
nally the moderator was appealed to
for a decision.
He rose from his seat, as became a
presiding oflicer thus appealed to, and
lifting his lank form till his head was
among the rafters of the low school
house, he hesitated a moment, and then
said:
"Brethren, my decision is that you
are all ahead of the hounds,"
Dr. I'ierson confesses that he did not
fully comprehend the meaning of the
words, but he could not help seein?
that the decision was perfectly clew
and satisfactory to the assembly.
As Dr. Hereon traveled abouthe
was an agent of the Ilible society he
often put up for the night at very hum
ble cabins, and commonly, before the
family went to bed, he was invited to
conduct fami ly worship. The form of
the invitation was peculiar and invari
able. The Bible and hymn-book were
brought forward and laid upon the ta
ble, and then the host turned to the
preacher and said: "Will you take the
books, sir?"
At table he was expected to ask a
blessing, and here, again, the phrase
ology employed was peculiar. When
all were seated, the man of the houss
would say: "Will you make a begin
ning, sir? "Then all heads were bowed,
and the blessing was invoked.
DEATH IN THE BATH.
Vapors of Muntit Builos Care the Gout ot
Kill the ltather.
When Charles Boner was in Transyl
vania he visited Mount Itudos, a volcano
which is never in actual eruption, but
is all the time sending out sulphuretted
hydrogen gas. In particular there are
two caves or clefts in the whitish-gray
rock, out of which this gas, mixed with
carbonic acid, is emitted with special
freedom. The principal one of these
caves is about twenty paces in depth,
and, as will be seen from Mr. Boner's
description, is much frequented as a
health resort.
"To enter the cave in safety care must
be taken not to draw the breath. A
long respiration is made before rushing
in, the nostrils are closed, and then with
hasty steps the farther extremity is
reached.
."A pricking feeling in the eves il
caused by the warm atmosphere. From !
the feet upwards the whole body has
the agreeable sensation of a gentle heat
playing around every limb. But your
stixk of breath is exhausted, and you
run back to tne open air.
"The day before I was there a man
had committed suicide by entering a
step or two. lie dropped at once: and
when a shepherd, who was tending his
flocks on the opposite hillside, and who
saw him enter, came across to look for
him, he was dead.
"The vapors of the cave are highly
valued as a cure for the gout, and for
diseases of the eye. At the end of the
cavern a tnsteless. slightly warm liquid,
clear as crystal, fulls slowly, drop by
drop, from the rock the result, prob
ably, of the condensed vapors rising
from below.
"A loose dress is worn by those who
take this vapor bath. They go in, re
main as long as they can hold their
breath, then run out, breathe, and go in
again.
"The second cave is not far awav,
and is called the Murderer. In flying
past the opening, birds drop dead upon
the ground. Close to the entrance I
found a jay that had just met its death.
I thought of the upas tree and its vic
tims." WALLED LAKE OF IOWA.
