A very simple Fire Annihilator, for domes.
tic use, is described in the Troy Budget by
an insurance agent in that city. Hear, and
save your houses:
why will not people avail themselves Of
modern discoveries, to save theii property
from fire! A package of two or three pounds
Of sulphur, disposed of in such manner as
to be thrown into the fire soon after its COM
mencement, before the air PUSHES into the
building, will arrest the fire, as surely as wa
ter; and is better than water, when varnishes
or resinous gums are burning.
Oxygen and sulphur have SO strong an
affinity that in the combustion of sulphur,
the oxygen of the atmosphere is converted
into sulphurous acid-gas al which point fire
10 arrested
Il tested this principle and thereby saved
my property some years since, m account Of
which gave through your columns, at tho
time. 1t is impossible to conceive how much
human suffering might have been averted had
that suggestion been attended to by ship and
boat owners. never read the accounts Of
the terrible loss of human life on board our
ships and steamers, without thinking that
they might have been saved by package of
brmstone.n the fire-loom.'

The DEAD.-How seldom do We think Of
the dead! Although we sit around the same
hearth where they once sat, and read from the
same volume they so loved to peruse, yet we
think not of them.
Oh, how the heart throbs with wild, un-
comfortable emotion as We stand beside the
dying friend we have deeply loved. We try,
without effect, to prolong the precious life;
We follow down to the margin Of the dark
flowing river; the spirit of the loved one
passes onward alone-and we are left to lin
ger on the shores of time.
We think, as We lay the inanimate form in
the cold grave, and the damp earth CRATES over
it, that we will never forget that the life
scenes shall be ever fresh to our memory, and
ever wonder that the busy multitude can still
move as before.
The sun shines rs brightly on the new
made grave. Again we mingle with the bu-
sy, jostling throng. Weeks and months roll
on-we visit the grave less frequently we
cease to think of the lost one save when some
incident of bygone time recalls them to our
memory.

SCIENTIFIC PRoPHEcY.-An exchange pa
per states that about eighteen years ago a
Mr.. Halt of Wilton, in Fairfield county, Con-
necticut, then a remarkably good student in
his collegiate course, was suddenly deprived
of his memory and reason. Under these
circumstances, his father, the Rev. Mr.. Halt,
sent him to Hartford; but fading ne relief,
he sent him to DR.. Chaplin, of Cambridge,
Massachusetts. The Doctor said there was
no present relief for him, but at the age of SO
or 81 there would be change that the brain
was too much expanded for the Uranium, and
there would be at that age contraction,
which would enable it to act healthily. His
anxious father and friends saw their hopes
peremptorily deferred for eighteen years.
That time has recently expired, and to their
great joy the prophecy is fulfilled. The man
began to inquire for his books as if he had
just laid them down, and resumed his mathe-
matical studies where he left them. There
was no trace in his mind Of this long blank
in his life, or anything which had occurred in
it, and he did not know that he was almost
forty years of age.

A REMARKABLE RuNAwAY.-The Cincin.
natl Commercial tells of runaway which
took place in that city on the I'd, which is
equal to any we have read Of
An aged Hoosier was driving n more aged
mare before still older wagon, through the
crowded street on the upper side of Lower
Market-in the wagon, which was covered,
were two daughters and goodly quantity OF
vegetables and garden truck" Just as the
vehicle reached Broadway, the old mans
"beast" shyed at an enormous basket OF
Bologna sausages, borne in front of corpu-
lent African lady, and before she (the mare)
could be checked, ran full tilt into the front
entrance of the Evans House, where two
ladies came very near being run through by
the shafts. The old mare and the vehicle
were extricated from this position, but no
sooner did the bystanders let go the rope
reins than she started down Broadway at a
break-neck pace; when nearly opposite the
Broadway exchange the runaway went clear
eper day laden with moasses, n barrel of
which was poured along the street; the wagon
only getting clear by leaving fore wheel.
BY this time the fun grew fast and furious,the
street was filled and odds were bet on the
mare; she ran down Broadway, across Front,
down the levee and oper the main deck Of the
Pltsburg packet into the riper, from which
she was finally rescued. The old man and
his daughters were thrown out on the levee,
and were but slightly injured.

TUNNELs.-On the line of the Hempfeld
road, seventy-sx miles long, leading from
Greenburgh, Pa, on the great Pennsylvania
road to Wheeling, there are in process OF
construction, seven tunnels, the lengths OF
which are respectively $500, 1900, 1900
three of 200 and one Of 800 feet.
In Europe, tunnels of two and three milos
in length are not uncommon. The Nerthe
tunnel, at Marseilles, France, is near three
miles long. The cost to the company for ex-
cavating the tunnel was S7O5,OOO.
The Thames and Midway tunnel between
Gravesend and Chatham, England, is 2 Ia
miles long. 1t was commenced in 1919 and
finished in 1924. The Box tunnel on the
Great Western Railroad is one of very large
dimensions, being SO feet high by 80 wide,
and 4576 feet long. There are many more
extensive works Of similar character, both
in England and Continental Europe; and in
the extensive mines of Cornwall, Wales
there are adits and tunnels nearly thirty miles
10 length. There are also nearly thirty miles
of tunnelling connected with the Duke OF
of Bridgewater's canal.

MEDICAL TESTIMONY CANNOT BE CON
TROXERTED.

One of the most startling cases is narrated
of DR.. McLanes Vermifuge by Dr. John But
Ter, of Lowell, Trumbull co., Ohio. The case
was that of young lady who had been very
sick for eight gears, and had consulted num-
Der of physicians, who had treated it as one
of Prolapsus Uteri DR.. Butler was then call
ed in, and for time, believed with his prede-
cessors that it was q case of Prolapsus. He
was, however, soon forced TO the conclusion
that his patient was suffering from worms, and
two doses Of DIR. McLanes Vermifuge. This
medicine had the effect Of removing from her
countless number Of the largest size. After
she passed them, her health Immediately re-
turned. She is since married, and continues to
enjoy excellept health.

WoMAN's RIGHTs.-A woman who belongs
to that class of matrons who believe in keep
ing up the supervision Of her family affairs,
in attending to the economical arrangements
thereof, in looking after her children and
scolding her servants, as her mother and
grandmother did before her, suggests to us
that if the Constitution is changed, so rs to
permit women to vote, the day of voting must
be changed, as Monday is washing day
throughout the Commonwealth, by universal
acceptation, and women of her sober and
hundrum qualities being unable to attend the
polls on that day, will be entirely out-voted
by the romantic and ambitious high-fyers,
whose regard for woman's rights is SO much
greater than their approval of woman's duties.
II is therefore suggested, in order to preserve
the rights of the minority, when the Const-
tuition is altered so as to allow women to
vote, Monday shall be abolished as voting
day in Massachusetts. Herald

ANINFERNAL RETORT.

Somebody, to the writer of this unknown
tells joke that may be worth printing, even
after making reasonable deduction for the
risk of its being old.
In a small town in one Of the counties oil
Ohio, q stranger rode up to the door of O
tavern and having dismounted, ordered stall
that class of independent citizens who are
never equal 10 decent men except on election
day-swarmed about the bar room door and
steps, waiting to be invited up to the counter.
Among this crowd the strangers business
was at once subject of impairment specula-
ton. One fellow, more impudent than the
rest, made free to inquire of the traveller what
occupation he followed; to which the latter
replied that his business was secret for the
present, but that he would probably make it
known before leaving town,
Having spent day or two looking round,
visiting the places where whiskey was sold,
and making various inquiries as TO the amount
fetailed, the number of dogs kept by men
whose children never went TO school or had
enough to eat--after, in short making CON-
plete moral inventory of the town, he con.
cluded to leave, and having mounted his
horse was about to be off, when his inquisi-
tive friend, urged on by his associates stepped
up and said, "See here Captain, you promised
TO tell as your business before you left, and
we'd like to hear from you on that point"

introduced: "Let the soldier be abroad if he
will he can do nothing in this age. There is
another parsonage abroad-a person less i'm
posing-in the eyes of some perhaps, insig-
nihcant. The schoolmaster is abroad: and
trust to him, armed with his primer, against
