TOOLITTLE THINKING.

One of the many evils of the present day
is that too little thinking-an evil much
farther reaching and more destructive in its
influence than most persons suspect. It is
said that Turner, tho celebrated English ar
tist, was seen TO spend a whole day sitting
upon rock, and throwing pebbles into q
lake, and when his fellow painters showed
their days sketches and rallied him on hay
ing done nothing, he answered:
y have learnt how lake looks when peb.
bles are thrown into it.' He was thinking
as he seemed to be idle, like another famous
painter, who on being asked what he mixed
with his colors, replied; "Brnins." He put
thought into his wonderful sea painting,
This is what we need in daily life-the mixing
brains with our work, the putting thought
into what our hands find to do. How many
mistakes would have been prevented. if we
had always thought before we spoke. and re-
fected before we acted.

MEAT EXTRACTS NOT NJJ-
TRITIOUS.

The increasing skepticism of ply
slologlsts IN regard to the nutritive
value of the various meat extracts,
so much advertised at the present day,
has been rather fortified by the pub
llcatlon of an elaborate paper of Mul
Ter, OF Paris, upon the subject of the
physiological character Of meat ex-
tracts In general. In this, starting
out with the proposition, first, that
meat extracts do not have any nutri-
tive value, and second, that they
sometimes have certain action which
is to be attributed only to their min
eral principle, and especially to the
salts of potash, he proceeds to exam
Inc the various preparations, whether
boulllons or extracts, and then in
quires into the action of the nitroge-
nous principles contained in these
preparations, and finally devotes a
third part to discussion of the action
OF the potash salts.
We have not the space to give the
details of his elaborate researches
under these three heads, but present
the following summary of his conclu-
sons upon the subject: First, that
meat extracts are ailments neither d.
rectly, since they contain no albumi-
mold matters, nor indirectly, since
their heterogeneous principles do not
arrest assassination. Second, in fee
bic doses they may be useful by the
stimulating action of the salts of pot
ash, which favor digestion and circu-
lation. Third,in stronger doses, in
stead of being useful, they may have
an injurious influence; administered
at the end of long sickness, when the
economy of the system is exhausted
by prolonged abstinence, the salts of
potash may have an injurious effect,
manifest In proportion as the system
has lost all It's chloride of sodium.
Far from favoring nutrition, they in
terfere with it by the direct action of
these potash salts upon the globule
which produces the least absorption
OF oxygen, and by the predominance
In the serum Of salts which only dis
solve carbonic acid physically, and
do not permit the exhalation of the
normal quantity Of this gas, and con-
sequently the introduction of oxygen.
Fourth, the physician should always
bear in mind that to give these ex-
tracts alone is to maintain the patient

HOW TO PLAY A CHIME OF
BELLS.

The New York Mail tells it's read
something about chimes, how they
are rung, &C., with a particular dis
cussion Of the Trinity church chime
IN the Empire city:
The "chime" at Trinity consists
Of nine bells, each of which weigh
several hundred pounds and the lar
gest of them even running up into
the thousands. Of course no air
whose notes cannot by the musicians
ingenuity be brought within range
OF those nine notes, can be properly
performed.
No two bells are ever struck to
gether, and such a thing as 'schord'
is unknown in Ginning. The notes
follow one after another, somewhat
like child trying to play tune on
the piano with one finger.
Five of these bells, the large one
and the four smaller ones, were
brought from England in 1916, at a
later date, bells necessary to COM
plete the octave' were procured of
the Menceleys, at West Troy.
The huge bells, though set ON
swinging frames, are dashed SO as to
be firm and fast, but the iron tongues
are movable, these being swung from
the centre to one side by means of
cord to each.
The tongue always strikes precise
ly in the same spot on the lop of the
bell, thus securing uniformity of vi
bration and certainty of tone. Each
tongue or hammer is provided with a
damper, on the plan of hampers to the
strings of a piano, and for the sans
purpose-to prevent undesirable pro-
longation Of the sound, and the con-
sequent running Of the notes into each
other.
The cord passes from the hammer
of the bell down one story to the ring
er's room it is there attached to a
long wooden bar, the leverage of
which is SO adjusted as to make the
striking of the tongue as easy as pos
g. BILE.
But even the playing a tune on
Trinity bells is no childs play. I'm

the end where the hand touches it, as

GEN SHERMAN AT CONSTANT NO

GEN SHERMAN AT CONSTANT NO
PLE.-How Gen. Sherman ever
managed to live through dinner of
slxty-three courses, which the Sultan
Of Turkey insisted on his accepting
at Constantinop1e on the occasion Of
his recent visit there, we are at loss
to imagine. He seems to have been
accorded extraordinary honors, hav-
ing been received by the Sultan at
the head of the staircase of. his palace,
an honor rarely vouchsafed by Tur-
kish sovereigns. The General, Col
Audenreid and Lieut., Grant were
welcomed in a high-sounding speech
by Minister Boxer, and Gen. Sher-
man afterward passed in review the
turkish troops Of all arms quartered
in Cons tantinople, after which they
were saluted by the feet, which lib
orally burned powder in their behalf.
Another fact worthy of note is that
the Russian Embassy at Constantine
ople made most ample prepare tons
for the reception Of Sherman and his
companions, and accorded them a
tull-dress banquet, the like of which
has never been seen in a Turkish
city before. The Generals speech
es IN Constantinoplc-for he actual
ly made several--are men toned as
graceful and to the point Prince
Frederick Carl of Prussia and some
other German dignltaries who were
IN Constantinople at the same time
as Sherman seem to have found but
cold hospitality, and were almost to-
tally Ignored until after the festiYi-
ties IN courtesy to the Americans
were ended. -Joaumaz.

The Minds Of Animals.

DR.. w. Lander Lindsay, Of whose
views on the subject Of animal psy-
chology we have before spoken, is a
Scottish physician, devoted to meno
tai diseases, but who also takes q
great interest IN the minds OF the
lower animals, the study OF which he
Is now Systematically prosecuting.
He believes that animals have minds
as really as do men, and that al
though vastly and variously lower,
they are still kindred to the human
mind, and upon analysis yield the
same mental elements or rudiments
of the faculties. But he goes still
further, and affirms not only that an
imals have true mental natures, but
that these are liable to arrangement;
that is, in fact, animals are subject to
tho same mental diseases as man.
lie has recently published an elabor-
ate paper on insanity in tho lower
animals, ia which be gives the most
curious and interesting proofs that
they also 90 deranged in all kinds of
ways. Even the veXed questIons of
civilization and insanity he finds mix
Cd up with this lower animal problem.
DR., luke, an eminent authority on
human insanity, remarks that there
is an acuteness or susceptibility of
The emotions, an intense activity of
the feelings, which would seem to be
peculiar to highly civilized life, and
out Of his state Of the nervous sys-
tenn comes various predispositions to
mental disease. DR.. Lindsay holds
that this is equally true Of animals.
He says "The effect of domestlca-
tons and breeding in the production
OF predisposition TO disorders Of the
whole nervous system, including, es-
peeially, the brain, is another SUBJ
ect Of the first importance in relation
to the symptoms Of insanity in ami
mails, The high breeding, for ins
stance, in hogs and horses, begets ex-
treme nervous sensibility, including
high mental sensitveness, one result
Of which is great susceptibility TO
diseases Of the entire nervous system.
The distinguished Partisan physiolo-
gist NJ. Claud Bernard, has pointed
cut the effects of breeding in the OBJ
vious differences as regards nervous
sensibility or irritability between
high-bred animals and the same
species in the wild or natural state.
He says: so exquisite is the nerv-
Gus sensibility of dogs Of the higher
breed that the slightest operations
bring on fever, and are attended with
alarming symptoms. They cannot,
therefore, be employed in researches
connected with the gastric Juice in
fact all operations performed within
the abdominal cavity are liable to
superinduee peritonltis, which gener-
ally proves fatal In dogs of a lower
breed the results are totally different,
and VI. Bernard states that in the
horse these differences are, if possible,
still more strongly marked, "-".Scien-

Charcoal for Sick Cattle.

Nearly all animals become sick
from improper eating In nine cases
out Of ten, tho digestion is wrong. -
Charcoal is the most efficient and
rapid corrective. 1t will cure in q
majority Of cases, if properly admins
lstered. An example of its use-the
hired man came in with the inteli-
gonco that one Of the finest cows was
very sick, and kind neighbor pro-
posed the usual drugs and poisons.
The owner being i'll, and unable to
examine the COW, concluded that the
trouble came from some over eating
and orderered teacup Of pulverized
charcoal given in water 1t was
mixed, placed in a Junk bottle, the
head held upwards and the water
with it's charcoal poured downwards.
In five minutes an Improvement was
visible, and in few hours the animal
was in the pasture quietly eating
grass. Another instance of equal
success occurred with young heifer
which became badly bloated by eats
ing green apples after hard wind.
The bloat was severe and her sides
were almost as hard as q barrel
The old remedy, sal@ratus, was tried
for the purpose Of correcting the
acidity. But the attempt to put il
down always caused coughing, and
il did little good. Half a teacupfu
OF fresh powdered charcoal was next
given. In six hours all appearance,
Of blost had gone, and the heifer was
well,- Country Gentleman.

Fattening Stock in Winter.

II is much easier to carry hay,
corn, roots, etc, to market when con.
verted into beef, mutton, or pork,
than when carried in the shape OF
bulky raw material. Another advan-
tage arising from consuming these
crops on the farm,i is that large guam
tity of excellent manure ia made by
the stock and tho fertility of the soil
is sustained or increased. Instead of
exhausting the soil by repeated crops
or wheat or any OTHER cereal. A
mixed husbandry and ii judicious ro-
tation OF crops should be adopted,
roots and succulent forage crops
grown, and the selling of lean stock
discontinued There should be
enough well managed pasture to pre-
pare cattle for stall feeding and the
animals should be in very good con-
dition when put into the stalls. 1t
is o great mistake to stall feed lean
stock. Sheep should also be propar-
cd for house feeding on good pasture
so that they will be nearly fat when
put in for feeding with hay, roots, or
grain. Buckwheat is used in some
places for fatteuing sheep with the
most satisfactory results. Provender
may be economical by keeping the
animals in comfortable houses or
sheds, by feeding and Watering with
regularity, aud keeping them perfect
ly clean. Chopping hay, straw, or
cornstalks and steGming renders them
more nutritious, and consequently
economies provender.
