Mostly water. If some day when
you have ''good crying spelp' the
tears be all saved, and put into the
hands of a skillfull chemist, he will
be able to show you what else they
contain. There will be a little of 4
Shiny substance called mucus, lNae
salt, some soda, phosphate of soda
THAT is, phosphorus and oxygen united
with sods), and phosphate of lime,
These substances give the salt taste TO
tears If tear be allowed to fall upon
a piece of glass, the water in # will
eyaporate, and leave the solid parts.
When examined through a good mi
croscope, these solid matters will be
seen arranged in lines crossing each
other, looking somewhat like small fish
bones. Tears are extracted from the
materials which make up the blood, by
a gland, which is situated above The
'eye6all and underneath the upper eye
hid, 1On the side nearest the temple.
Six or seven exceedingly small channels
flow under the surface of the eyelid,
dischargiug their contents little above
the delicate cartilage which supports
the lid. It is these channels oFIcshals
chat carry the tears into the eye. But
tears do not flow only at certain mo-
ments and under certain circumstances,
as is supposed; their flow is continuous; /;
all day and all night, although less
abundantly during sleep, they trickle
softly from their slender sluices and
spread glistening over the surface Of
the pupil and the eyeball, giving them
a bright aud limpid look which is one
of the signs of health. tits the cease
less movement and the contraction of
the eyelids that effect the regular
spreading of the tears, and the flow of
these has need to be constantly renew
ed 10 the way Just mentioned, because
tears not only evaporaLe after few
seconds but 6lso are carried away
through two little drains called "lach-
rymal ducts" and situated in the cor
ner of the eye near the nose. Strong
emotions, especially Of sorrow, some-
times cause the flow of tears to be
more abundant than can be readily
carried away by the ducts; then they
overflow the lower eyelid and trickle
down the cheek. When you have not
very good cause for such abundant
tears, it may help to dry them BY
of the curious arrangement
BY which they are provided to keep
The eye washed clean and in good or

Mr. Valandigham announces that he
is going to ignore the dead issues, and
make the fight on tariffs and taxation.
Doubtless he would be very glad to do
so. 1t is his misfortune that the dead
issues will not ignore him. He will go
about over the Third District crying
in vain, "Who- will deliver me from the
body of this death 2" Mr.. Valandigham
is quite right, however, in supposing
that some Of the things for which be
used to contend are dead issues. The
declaration that the war for the Union
is a failure has become a dead issue.
The declaration that the South would
succeed, and that the day which wit
nesses the final separation of the South,
that self-same day DEGREES the eternal
divorce of the East and West, is dead
issue. Hostility to emancipation is a
dead issue. Opposition to the soldiers
is dead issue. And when these is
sues went down, the men who had
staked their political existence upon
them went down into the same dishon-
ord grave with them, Mr. Yallandigham.
That is all that is the matter with you
now.

How Borrowed Books Were
Brought Back.

The Independent says: ga city
clergyman some years since preached 4
thorough practical sermon on honesty
In the course of his sermon he alluded
to this very subject, and poured out
the vials of indignation and mora
wrath against the common habit o.
stealing under the guise of borrowing.
At the conclusion of the discourse he
called upon the people carefully to
examine themselves, and solemnly
charged them that if any of them
were guilty of this offence, at once 10
repent and bring forth fruits meet for
repentance. During that very week
three books, which he had lent and
considered lost were returned to him.
He announced the fact the ensuing
Sunday; andthis brought back two
more stray books. Other lenders in
the congregation were proGted in the
same way. The careless if not dis
honest borrowers were walked up to a
sense of the evil justly charge able
against them, and at once sought to
correct it. That sermon did good.
Any sermon does good that so exposes
a sin, or recommends a virtue, that the
sinner abandons the sin and at once
sets about practiciDg the virtue" ol

A letter from Mr.. Thomas Barnes,
of Devonshire, England, has just ap-
peared in the London Gardeners
CkronieIe, in which a hot summer
fifty years ago is described. Mr.. Barnes
! says:
Z ''The year 1918, now fifty years ago,
was the longest, hottest and dryest
summer L ever remember. Talayera
wheat had been only introduced a few
years, and was then just getting into
general repute. A billy field facing
the south was sown with this wheat in
the autumn of 1917. 1t was ripe and
cut on the 10th of June; some of it
was threshed on the I'd of July,
ground on the 4tb, and bread made
from it on the same day. The owner
of the field was large miller. This
was tine earliest wheat Lever saw.
The whole harvest was general by the
7th of July, and I'll cut aud cleared
lby about the '25th of that month.
The whole country was Of the same
color; not blade Of green grass was
to be seeh--uOt even turnip or cab
bage; cattle perished for the lack Of
food and water; immense numbers Of
large; trees died, plantations on dry,
''brasby soils, and every thing in many
hedges for long distances died right
out. Trees that lived lost their leaves
people had to go many miles for wa
ter and then pay dear for it; for all
that we had afterwards one of the
most plentiful, prosperous and fruitful
seasons | ever yet saw or remember to
have seen. Wheat was a wonderful
crop, aud so good in quality that the
bread was splendid; both it and wheat
were soon reduced in price by two
thirds. Barley and lent or spring
sown crops were generally short par
ticularly late sown, as it never had any
rain from seed time till harvest. The
best barley was Just equal IN price with
wheat, the onlys period 1 recollect it
being so i'll my time; hops were a
wonderful crop, and frstrate in quality
they came down to Is per ponnd /;
apples from Is. to IS. per bushel; and
the best Orleans plums and other good
varieties realized from Is. to 2s6d. per
bushel, aud plenty of common plums
were sold at Id. per quart; cherries,
I'd. per pound.
When the fine rains set in in Sep
tember the land was so sweetened and
pulyerised, hot as a fuanace or hot
bed smoking like hme-kiln, that
some folks said it was too late for tur-
nips; however some cultivators did
venture, the seed yegetated so quickly
that the rows were green or most luxu-
RANT in six weeks, and there was pro-
duced most splendid turnips as large
as child's head. As to grass and
other vegetation, in few weeks they
were so luxuriant plentiful aud of
such splendid quality, that all kinds of
stock thfOEe and fattened at such a
rate as was never before seen.

Gold has been discovered IN the
neighborhood of Elk hiek Mills, on the
East Fork, eight miles above Batavia,
Clermont County, Ohio. Some old
miners from California assert that so far
as indications 80, the prospect is as
good as they ever saw in California.
On the same stream, two Cincinnati
men are engaged in opening muscle
she'll for the purpose Of securing pearls.
A visitor who went to see their opera
tions, the other day, says: "They had
secured the services Of a couple Of
boys to wade into the water and gather
the muscles, and they had opened
several bushels Of shells, and from
them had extracted quite a number Of
Pearls, mostly Of small size and of lit
tle value. Some few were large enough
to use in jewelry."

The execution of fourteen men for
completely in the assassination Of Prince
Michael of Serya, on the morning after
sentence was pronounced, was conduct
ed with horrible barbarity. The con-
demned were pinioned to fourteen posts,
set up side by side in front Of a trench,
in which their bodies were to be buried.
-Four soldiers, standing at distance Of
six PAGES, shot at the first in the row
until he was dead, when his body was
detached and laid in the trench. The
second was then taken in the same way,
and so on through the whole number.
The last Of course, had to attend thir-
teen successive executions before his
own turn came.

The Russian Government, having
forbidden the Poles to speak Polish on
the streets, and at the theatres, the
educated classes of Warsaw, when
they leave their houses, speak French
or English, and, when they now and
then utter Russian word, they pro
nounce it in very Iudiccrous manper.
The ladies Of Warsaw, especially, are
firmly determined not to be dragooned
into speaking Russian. Whenever a
Russian. addresses them in his native
language they shake their heads in
feigned surprise, and sayathey do not
understand a word of it Since in
struction IN the Polish language is
prohibited in the city schools of War

characteristics of Women.
Among Leon Gazlau's posthumou;
papers was found an essay on the
characteristics of women, which will
hardly add to his popularity among
American ladies. Just read the out
ragsous paragraph; A French woman
will love her husband If he is either
witty or chivalrous; a German woman
if he is constant and faithful; Dutch
woman if he does not disturb her. ease
and comfort too much; a Spanish
woman if he wfeaks terrible Vengeance
on those who incur his displeasure; an
italian woman if he is dreamy and
poetica1; Danish woman if he thinks
that her native country is the bright
ese and happiest country ION earth; ;
Russian woman if he despise all
Westerners as miserable barbarians {;
an English woman if he succeeds in
ingratiating himself with the royal
court and the aristocrscy; an American
woman if-he has plenty of money.

The Emperor Alexander, Of Russia,
has issued instructions for the revision
of the barbarous criminal code, still
valid in Russia. Branding with red
hot iron, to which all second-clsss con-
victs are subjected, is to be abolished.
This will put an end to the horrible
scenes which were regularly enacted at
st. Petersburg and other large Russian
cities whenever a number Of cOnyicts
were dispatched to Siberia. They are
now, on the morning Of their departure,
led out of their cell, tied to a bench
and branded on the forehead and on
both cheeks; they then receive a csr-
tain number Of lashes, are chaiued to-
gether and driven off ike cattle. The
screams of the wretches on this occa-
sion may be heard for miles. Ten
executioners have al their bands fall Of
business, as not less than 100 couvicts
are sent of to Siberia at a time. About

sons belonging to the higher classes)
are exempt from h5gging and brand
