GRACE BEFORE MEsT.--A friend
IN Texas is responsible for the follow
ing: ''One of our stock-raisers, in
hunting some cattle on cloudy day
not long since, got bewildered and lost
in the prairie, the weather came on
stormy and thick, so he could not tell
what corse to take and wandered about
three days with not mouthful to eat.
About noon, on the third day, it clear
ed up little, and he struck out for
house he saw long way off. On reach
ing it, and making known his hungry
condition, the householder, who was a
parson, expressed his warm sympathy
for him, and told him to sit down, that
dinner would be ready after while.
When dinner was announced, "our he
rO," suiting the action to the word,
was promptly in a seat, and as he be-
gan making himselfa at home with what
ever was within his reach. At this
crisis, the reverend gentleman of the
house lnterPosed with. "Stop, STOP.
We are in the habit of saying something
here before we eat" Our hero filled
his mouth nearly full, and without stop
ping or apparently noticing particular
ly what had been said to him, replied,
go on, and say what you (d-n)
please, you can't turn my stomach
now"

RpANfMArroN OF DROWNED PER-
soxs.-Dr. Hall, an eminent physician
of London, has Just given to the world
the results Of a series of Investigations
on Asphyxia, or the suspended an'ma>
ton resulting from immersion IN water,
which are interesting in the highest
degree, and if in the hands OF others
found to be effectual, will revolutlonize
the entire method of treating persons
found drowned. He ohjects to the
practice of seeking to restore nnima-
ton by clevaiing the temperature of
the body by blankets and hot applica-
tons. The suspended animation in
the case Of drowning ari es from two
distinct causes first, want OF the
air usually received in the process OF
respiration, and second, Il retention of
.carbOnic acid gas in the lungs, and its
final permeatien in the blood vessels.
This permeatien produces poison ca
pable of disorganizing the blood, and
producing death from this cause alone,
and is increased by heat end heated ap-
plications. DR. Hall has pointed out
an impediment to the restoration of this
function, which has hitherto escaped
notice. This is the falling back of the
tongue across the top of the glottis, or
eu,rancr into the windpipe. The first
step in DR.. Halls proc IS is to remove
this fliculty by placing the patieat
upon his face and breast, instead of his
back, as is usually done. The body Is
then tu ned slowly upon its side, and
re-turned as slowly to its frst position
upon the brcat ami face. This motion
whose effect is to cause considerable
amount of air in the lungs to be expel-
led and reinspired, is to be krpt up un-
til breathing is restored or all hopes of
rcsuscitation from this source are aban
.d,ncd. Nothing" says DIR. Hall
scan cxcred the beauty of this life
giving, (if life can be gigen,) this
breathing process"

work on the Mechanic Arts, as known
to the ancients, has the following Curl
