D% The means in use by the de-
graded King of Naples for torturing
suspected persons among his subjects,
is described by the London Times, arc
most revolving, but the statement, we
think, must be taken with some grains
Of allowance for exaggeration. a5 One
person, for merely carrying a letter in
cipher, was placed in a sack and kept
beneath the water until he lost con-
seriousness three times. The thumb
screw was used to extolt confessions,
and also an instrument called the tour
niquit, which was applied to the head,
which makes the eyes start forth and
almost drop. Pontlllo, Lieutenant of
Maniscaler, invented an arm chair, in
which the victim is seated on sort Of
gridiron, under which is a pan Of Goals.
Another method was to tie the head Of
the victim between his legs, AID leave
him in that position until he confessed.
Another instrument was the sbini, or
''angelic instrument in which, by
turning o screw, the limbs Of the VIC
tim are crushed. On one occasion a
man was suspended in the air, his arms
being tied to one wall, and his legs to
another, and in that position an officer
of the police jumped upon him and beat
him. iA ,srsqa,..n y e-

SLEEPING IN CuURcH.-The follow
ing curious passage we commend to
those who practise the above form Of
ssmnolency:
~The horrid habit Of sleeping in
so1Ae'is source Of infinite pain to
others, and damps more than anything
else the vivscity Of a preacher. Con-
slant sleepers are public nuisances, and
deserve to be whipped out of religious
assembly to which they are constant
disgrace.
"Ministers have tried number of
methods to rid our assemblies of this
odious practice. Some have reasoned,
some have spoken louder, some have
whispered, some have threatened to
name the sleeper, and have actually
named him, some have cried FIRE, aud
some have left off preaching. Young
sat down and wept, and Bishop Abbott
took out his Testament and read Greek.
Each Of these awaked the auditors for
the time; but the destruction of the
habit belongs to the sleeper himself,
and if neither reason nor religion can
excite him, why, he must sleep on,
think, till death and judgment awake
him."

Be CONTENT. - Pyrrhus would first
conquer Africa and then Asia, and then
live melrily and take his ease but when
Cyneas, the orator, told him be might
do that already, rested satisfied, con-
demning his folly. Thou mayest do the
like. and be composed in thy fortune.
Thou hast enough he that is wet in q
bath, can be no more wet if he be flung
into the ocean itself and if thou hast
all the world, or a solid mass Of gold
as big as the world, thou canst not
have more than enough. Enjoy thyself
at length, and that which thou hast
the mind is all be content, thou art
not poor, but rich. I say, then, add no
more wealth, despise riches that is
true plenty, not to have, but not to
want riches; it is more glory to contemn
than to possess, and to want nothing is
divine.-Burkoa. zaT y

A MACHINE FOR MILKING Cows
The N. Y. Evening Post thus de-
scribes an invention for this purpose,
patented by L. o. Colvin:
ssFour sockets receive the four teats
of the COW, and the operator seated be-
side the COW, with the pail between his
knees, works two ANAL air pumps, one
on each i side, Which drains tie teats by
q process like that Of nature drawing
out the milk, and releasing the teats
alternately, by short intervals of sue
ton. This method has the advantage
of the common one in cleanliness, and
q still greater advantage in expedition,
for it milks three cows, at least, in the
time which would be needed for one if
mike by the hand. A friend who has
tried the instrument on his own cows,
assures US that the experiment was
highly satisfactory. The animals did
not seem TO be incommoded by the OPP
Grafton, or to dislike it any more than
the usual way.

HARD BUTTER WITHOUT Ice. - To
have hard butter in summer, without
ice, the plan recommended by that ex-
cellent and useful publication, the
Scientific american, is good one.
Put trivit, or any open fiat thing with
legs, in saucer put on this trivit the
plate of butter /; fill the saucer with
water turn common Aower-pot up
side down over the butter, SO that its
edges shall be within the saucer and
under the water. Plug the hole Of the
flower pot with Q cork, then drench the
flower pot with water, set it in . cool
place until morning, or it done at
breakfast, the butter will be- hard by
supper time. How many boarding
school girls, who have been learning
philosophy, astronomy, .asyntsx and
prosody, can write an explanation of
this within q month o''@'i. .. etit'2 ;

:. n% NJ. Retzius, q scientific man;
Who died recently in Londen, gave, .
remarkable example Of the force Of
the ruling passion strong in death. On
his dying bed he made his observations
on the progressing dissolution of his
own body 'sThis struggle Of death is
hard" he said to those about him !;
s.but it is of the highest interest to
note this wrestle between lie and
death !. now the legs are dead T; now the
muscles Of the bowels cease their
function the last struggle must be
heavy, but for all that it must be inter-
esting." These were his last words.

ORIGIN OF BLACK CoATs IN THE
CLERGY.-In the year 1924 Luther laid
aside the monks costume, and hence
forth dressed according to tho fashion
of the world. He chose black clothes,
and consequently tKS color has become
the fashion Of the clerxy. His reason
for choosing this color was The
El.ctor of Saxony took a interest in
him, and now and then sent him a
piece of black cloth, being at that time
tho court fashion, and because Luther
preferred it; so his scholars thought
it became them to weir the same color
as their master. From that time black
has been the color most worn by the
clergy.

THE SMooN.-H. Cook, NJ. D., at
. late meeting Of the Meteorological
Society of Londaps made the following
remarks concerning this dread wind of
India: - 81
The simeon, that deadly wind which
occasionally visits the deserts Of Cut
chez and Upper Scinde, which is sud
den and singularly fatal in its occur
renee, invisible, intangible, and myste-
rious. Its nature, alike unknown-as
far as the author is aware - to the
Wild, untutored inhabitant of thecoun-
try which it frsquents, rs to the Euro
Ppean man of science, its effects only
are visible-its presence made manifest
in the sudden extinction of life, whether
Of animal or vegetable, over which its
Influence has e1Sended. DR.. Cook gives
the results of hbsinformation respect
ing the simeon, as follows
| 1. It is sudden in its attack. et
2. 1t is sometimes preceded by Q
cold current of air.
8. 1t occurs in the hot months -:
usually June or July. !:
4. 1t takes place by mig hit as well as
BY day. :.
S. Its course is straight and defined:
6. Its passage leaves narrow
stknife.lik track. -
7. It burns up or destroys the vitali-
ty of animalls6d vegetable existence
in its path. -
8. 1t is attended by q well-ma:ked
sulphurous odor. - Z :!
9. 1t is described as being like the
blast of . furnace, and the current Of
air in which it passes is evidently great,
" heated.
10. 1t is not accompanied by dust,
thunder, and lightning.
