Rev. Mr.. Hendrix, when visiting the
patients in Canadian hospital, a mum.
Der of years since, discovered therein a
man W no appeared to be perfectly de
mented, but otherwise in good health.
lnqulring into the cause of his malady,
he was informed that 1t was occasioned
by depression of the skull upon the
brain, by u blow from the falling limb
OF tree. Procuring surgical aid, Mr..
Hendrix caused the depressed skull to
be raised to its natural position, when
the patient uttered the concluding
words OF "A sentence that he had begun
to address to his son, with whom, four
teen years before, he was splitting rails
under the tree where he received the
injury that deprived him of his senses
Pat in the wedge"
This is remarkable example of sus-
pended thought. For fourteen years he
had lived perfectly unconscious OF the
loss OF moment of time. But he ate
drank, slept, awokc, and moved about
but how? simply rs a machine. Like
the clock, the human mechanism had
been wound up, or set in motion, and
must run its allotted time, though 4
part OF its complicated machinery, un
essential to its longevity, should cease
TO move. The hunger, and the act o
supplying its demands, were but par

Novel StuiIing for Cushions.

A new material has come quite extcn-
sively into use in Germany, as a substi,
tue for hair in the stutfing of saddles,
etc, consisting of u mixture of llaxsecds
and tallow. The advantage of this sub
stitutc consists primarily in the TACT that
the mobility of the seeds, one upon the
other, prevents the packing or settling
in any particular place, as often hap
pens in saddles stuffed with hair, thus
causing any given pressure to be readily
and uniformly distributed over any given
surface. The tallow serves the purpose,
too, of keeping the leather flexible, and
of preventing the absorption Of perspir-
alton, protects the article itself, and
prevents the back of the animal from
becoming CALLED. Animals with sores
or CALLED spots on the back can be rid
den with saddles stuffed with this ma
terial without any inconvenience. The
tallow also has the effect of preventing
the rotting of the flax seed, and. is to be
added in sufficient quantity to give re-
uuiste softness to the entire mass. An
aromatic odor can be impaired by intro
ducing oil Of turpentine or camphor
powder, and the durability considerably
increased thereby. One part OF the tai
low, to from six to ten parts of flax
seed, may be used according to the tenn

UeaIthful Effects of Tomatoes.

The tomato is one of the most h ealth
full as well as the most universally liked
Of all the vegetables. Its healthy
qualities do not depend on the mode of
preparation for the table; it may be
eaten three times a day, cold or hot,
cooked or raw, alone, or with salt, pep
per, vinegar, or altogether, to Il like
advantage, and in the utmost quantity
that can be taken with an appetite
Its healthful quality arises from its
slight acdity in this respect as valu-
able, perhaps, as berries, currants, and
similar fruits. The tomato season ends
with the frost if hung up in q we'll
ventilated cellar, with the tomatoes
hanging to the vines, the love,apple'
will continue to ripen until Christmas.
The cellar should not be too dry, nor
too warm. The knowledge of this may
be improved to great advantage for the
benefit of invalids, and of all who are
fond of the tomato.

A Profitable Trip.

The Prussian military band has made
100000 in America. OF this sum five
per cent. was given to the business
manager, leaving little over $57 900.
This amount has been deposited with
Consul General Roesing, to be paid to
the individual musicians of the band
upon their arrival at home. The money
will be divided in tif,y-three equal parts;
of tAese the leader, Nh. Sa"o, receives
four, about $4,000 or 81 400; Mr.. View
base, the business man OF the band

sicians, who us business committee as

half part, or about 81, $50. Every other
member Of the band one part, or nearly
81 100 apiece.

Bronze Manufacture.

The manufacture of bronze orna-
ments has made great progress in this
country within the past few years. This
is owing chiefly to the discoveries OF
rich zinc mines in New Jersey, Illinois
and Mississippi, which have made the
manufacturers independent of foreign
mines, and then to the subsequent i'm
portation of skilled labor. Ten years
ago the bronze manufacture-the most
important branch of which is the pro
duction Of gas fixtures-was confined
to Philadelphia, where it still flourishes
and progresses rapidly. More recently,
New York has taken up the manufao,
ture, where more than one thousand
persons are now emrlnsea in that
branch af industry.

Clover for Hogs.

An Ohio hog raiser advocates the sys-
tenn OF pasturing on clover during the
summer. He presents, as the advantage
of this plan, the statement that an acre
of ground in clover will pasture five
hogs four months, and that it will take
the corn from half an acre to feed them
the same time. The cultivation of the
corn he counts equal to the rest of the
other half acre. He further claims that
hogs pastured on clover are in far better
condition than if fed on corn as they
are better framed, healthier, and eat bet
ter, and also states that the land il IN

The Most Dressed Bride in the World.

Pending the selection by the proper,
officials OF "lucky'' day in October
next for the marriage of the Emperor
of China the arrangements for the {, s.
tival are, as concerns dresses at least, in
Il very forward state. SO far back as
the year 1869, the Province Of Chekeang
was privileged to receive an cdict iii,
recting it to present for the occasion
$3.50 pieces of silk goods, 400 cattics of
silk thread and embroidered velvet, and
l,S00 pieces of fine cotton cloth. These
were delivered in due course, and in
response to subsequent orders the
favored province has sent to Pekin
5000 pieces of brocaded silk, POO
pieces of plain green silk, and 1000 of
what are referred to in the record as
''sill articles OF attire for the house
hold and guard of the Empress elect.
Further, Chekeang has furnished s 900
silk dresses and 500 pieces of plain silk
for the reserve wardrobe of the imperial
body guard, and 5000 silk dresses and
500 pieces of plain green silk for the
imperial chair bearers and escort. 1t is
true that the people of Chekeang, who
furnish these supplies gratuitously, com
plain of the burden thrown upon them,

was not a mistake in the estimate of
the necessities of the imperial body

A German Deputy Convicted OF Treason.

Herr Bcbel, the we'll known Socialist
Deputy in the German Parliament, has
got INTO trouble again. 1t appears that
few months ago be made some speeches
Mt public meetings in the vicinity of
LEIPZIG, in which he said, according to
the evidence of two gcndarmcs who
were present, that when the Franco
German war broke out the King of
Prussia promised 10 give his people
unity and liberty if the campaign should
be successful and the unity had been
accomplished, but only in the harrack
and III the station hous", while of liberty
there had rs yet been no trace. This,
however, was not to be wondered at, as
1t would not be the first time that
princes had broken their promises.
These words were reported to the JUDI
cIal authorities, and Herr Bcbcl was ac-
| cordngly tried on the 9th inst. for hugh
| treason. He said in his defense that he
had no intention of accusing the Ger
man Emperor of breaking his word, but
that he had spoken merely oi tn"
| princes in general, and had asserted a.
historical fact that princes had made
promises when in difficulties which they
attcrward did not fulfill. He thought
the police must have mistaken his
meaning. The latter, however, adhered
to their evidence, and said there could
be no doubt rs to the intention of Hen
Bebels speech. For the defense an
mn keeper and two carpenters were
called, all of whom admitted that the
words had been used, though they did
not understand them as conveying amy
censurc on the German Emperor. The
tribunal then declared that it touno

sentenced him to nine months i'm
