acknowledgement NV his services in controlin

We drank, and forgettin all about Perkins,
replied promptly that, NV course, no positive

Headache Remedies.

A correspondent of the Rural Nc,c
Yorker writes:
40, how my head aches" said Mr..
A. "it seems as if never had such a
headache before"
Take these boneset blossoms and
chew them" said handing him what
would fill his mouth, " swallowing the
bitter juice ; then lie down, and if they
DO not help you in half an hour, or you
do not drop to sleep in that time, ] will
try another remedy
The half hour elapsed, sleep did not
come, and the pain was not eased so |
took about as much saltpeter as would
make lump as large as two peas, dis
solved it in little warm water, then
added little cold, so as nearly to fill a
teacup; gave him teaspoonful of this
once in ten minutes, till he had taken
four teaspoonfuls wet clean white
cloth with some of the water and laid il
on his head under dry one.
After taking this he slepta few hours,
and toward night was able to do his
chores. Previous to retiring to bed
that night he bathed his feet in warm
water, to which had been added wood
ashes sufficient to make it feel soft
soaking them well, loosening all the &C
cumulations on them, rubbing and
wiping them dry. With these simple
remedies and attentions he was as well
as usual next day.

A Fool for Luck.

John, the fool of the New York Sun,
was made rich in spite of himself at
Long Branch, and this is the way it was
done:
"Just as | was the hungriest, Long.
fellow and Harry Bassett were brought
out and they went round the corner
like two Colts revolvers. All the nice
young men around me stood up and
bowed and scraped and held up one fin
ger as if they were stopping an omnibus.
Thew all yelled: A hundred to
eighty on Harry Basset." They all APP
peared to be 80 very polite, that held
up my finger too, and | nodded and
bowed back to all of them. | never
saw such polite lot of young men be-
fore. You would have thought ! was
the Grand Duke Alexis. | keep up the
bowling just as long as they did, and
pretty soon the race was over, and /
confess | was agreeably surprised to see
about four hundred young men file up
and each one chuck 800 bill into my
lap. Then | thought that lot of young
men lust about the incest lot of young
m m had ever met. There | sat with
$4,000 in my lap, and, much to my
astonishmen | found out that all the
time | was pointing my finger and bow
ing back to 'em, darned if | WASH {
taking every darned bet that was made,
and darned if | knew it. | only had
eight dollars in my pocket, and if had
lost I'd slept in an oyster, bed that night
sure"

Reading Speeches.

In the British House Of Commons the
practice Of reading speeches, which has
been greatly on the increase Of late, re-
ceived check near the end of the last
session of Parliament, the Speaker rul-
ing that reading a speech from manu-
script was contrary TO the rules of the
House. Mr.. John Martin, an Irish
member, was the victim selected to re-
ceive the reproof of the Speaker, al
though many other members have fol-
lowed the same practice for several ses-
sions past. 1t is urged by those holding
the Speakers views that if the custom
had been allowed to go unchecked the
deb ties in the House of Commons
would have entirely changed in their
character, and that, instead of discus
sions in which arguments are met with
counter.arguments on the spot, the pro.
ceedings would have grown into long
winded essays or disquisitions, more
suited to the meetings of mutual inn
provement society than the delibera-
tons of representative assembly.

Cork Manufacture.

The application of machinery to the
cutting of corks is of American origin.
Until within ten or twelve years all
corlls were cut by hand, but mechanism
is now employed in their manufacture.
Handwriting is performed by means of
an instrument similar to the butchers
cleaver. The production Of fifteen hun.
dred corks made in this way is a good
day 5 work for one hand, while an Amer
lean girl will turn out twenty thousand
daily by means Of machinery. The ma
chine made corks are far superior to
those made by hand, inasmuch as they
are perfectly uniform in size and finish.
After the bale of cork is assorted into
lots of different qualities and thick.
nesses, the material is placed in long
oblong box, divided into several COM
partments, when it receives a steam
bath. Here il remains until it becomes
sufficiently soft, when it is removed and
cut into strips by the "slicer." This
consists Of circular revolving knife,
furnished with gauge which regulates
the size of the strips.
The "blocker" is next brought into
requisition. 1t resembles in appearance
and operation a small hand lathe, with
the exception that the cut-bar, which is
shaped something like hollow augcr,
is rapidly revolved by steam, making
several hundred revolutions per minute.
The stock is fed to the machine by
hand, lengthwise of the strip.
This machine produces a straight cork
the kind used in bottling soda water,
wine, brandy, and liquors generally. In
the manufacture of taper corks the Ia
pering machine succeeds the blocker"
Much ingenuity has been expended in
Gevising means to taper corks properly
and rapidly by machinery. The style
Of machine in use here is circular
knife about twenty inches in diameter,
which revolves horizontally over frame
by which it is supported. The straight
corks are fed to the knife by an attach
ment similar in principle TO the revolv.
ing portion Of a pistol. The corks, after
being finished, are assorted according to
size and quality One hundred different
sizes Of three different grades are made
in this concern.
The cork is purchased by the pound
in the bale, and the manufactured ar.
ticle is sold by the gross. Only one
third of the raw material is transformed
into corks. The chips from the taper
ing machine are sold to mattress manu-
facturers, and the balance Of the stuff
is only fit for fuel. In cork making by
machinery very few hands will turn
out an immense quantity OF work. AL
though in size this is the fourth manu-
factory of the kind in the country,
only twenty hands are required, With
this force over 10000 corks can be pro-
duced daily. The prices of corks per
gross vary from five cents to five dollars.
The heaviest consumers as class are
the druggists.-ALbany argus.

The Lightning Rod q DelusiOu.

The damage TO property and the de.
struction OF life caused by lightning in
New England thil summer are almost
unprecedented. We regret that so
good an opportunity to test the value of
lightning rods, and particularly of Ger.
tain kinds OF patent rods, has been lost
IL would have been OF great service to
the community If there had been added
TO every account of lightning striking
building, "This house was furnished
wit h Smiths patent corrugated, galvan.
lied double ac ting lightning rods" or
"This house was unprotected by any
rod" as the case might be. 1t should
be generally understood that nearl,
every patent lightning rod is valueless.
if not worse. The fact has been proved
thousand times. They are costly and
dangerous. Scientific men have exam.
ined the subject, and their testimony is
unanimous. Ii is known, for instance,
that the same style Of rod is not adapt
ed to all buildings; yet the peddlers of
patent rods prescribe the same form for
every building. Again, the twisted and
| corrugated rods are worthless. The
form, instead of facilitating the passage
of electricity, offers an obstacle to it.
Tubular rods are less valuable than
solid, and unless the rod is large
enough the effect is merely to invite
lightning, without giving it chance to
escape. In fine, there are many we'll
ascertained facts in regard to lightning
rods that ought to be known and
every person whose house is struck
should communicate precise informa-
ton, in order that those who study
electrical problems may deduce other
general laws, which will be highly USE
tul if we are to have more summers
when there are numerous thunder
storms.-Boston Advertise,.

Bald.Headed People.

Frederick Kemp writes from the sill
yer mines of Montana, giving the fol-
lowing hint in reference to a cure for
bald. medicines:
"a friend of mine who had the mis-
fortune to be bald. headed, knowing
that there is a wonderful invigorating
power in the suns rays, last spring
threw away his hat, and worked in the
gulch all spring, summer and fall, bare
headed, and also ior the first few days
at midday. For few days the rays of
the hot sun on his head were almost
unbearable; after that time he expert
enced no uneasiness whatever. The re-
suit was that in the fall he had a good
head of hair. And in this experiment
no was not alone-several of his &C.
ouaintances who were bald-headed hav-
ing followed the same plan were all
fortunate enough to experience the
same result"

New AntiScntic.

The London Lancet highly commends
the new antiseptic-hydrated chloride
of aluminium-to which the attention
of medical men and of the general pub
lie has recently been drawn. 1t has
proved to be quite as potent as chloride
of zinc or carbolic acid, and is at the
same time non-poisonous, and devoid
of unpleasant smell of any kind-quali-
ties which will no doubt insure its being
extensively used, and, at no distant
date, it will probably displace most of
the antiseptics at present in vogue, so

A New Theory of the Final Collapse.

A new theory of the future fate of
the earth has been promulgated in
France by young geologist named
Meunier, according to which the de.
struction of the globe will be occa-
stoned not by excessive heat, but by
the intensity of the cold which will one
day prevail. NJ. Meunier regards
erolites as fragments of a heavenly
body about as large as the moon, which,
having reached the requisite degree of
GOODNESS, went to pieces ages ago. The
earth, according to this philosopher,
will some time do likewise. His views
derive their principal title to attention
from the fact that they have been re-
ceived with favor by the eminent
savant, NJ. Dumas.

0uadrature of a Circle.

When man can stand in basket
and lift it up himself by the handles,
then round cork will close q square
hole.
These are plain propositions. But
it has so happened that there have
been succession Of mathematical mad
caps, from time to time since the days
of Archimedes to the present year Of
moonshine, vainly striving to accom-
plish an impossibility, viz, squaring
the circle.
Many fine brains have been need

that would be a complete solution Of
the problem.
The last two mathematical maniacs
who died in the belief that they had
proved by figures that desideratum,
were Aberham Thompson, of Boston,
and George Young, of Vermont.
Mr.. Young actually petit oned the
Legislature of Massachusetts, for COM
pensaton, as reward of his ingenuity
in doing what no other man achieved.
He died about twenty years ago, crush
ed in spirit by a sense of the injustice
of the State in not approaching his
merits as a discoverer.
Mr.. Young had been member of
Congress. He was an amiable, excel
lent man. His monomania on that
subject did not assume the intense
form it did in Mr.. Thompson, although
he was apparently satisfied he had
