WnY HENBoLD FAILED.-An erroneous i'm
preston prevails largely tLat Helmbold's fail
ure was due to excessive, or at least injudicious,
advertising This, as a few facts will clearly
demonstrate, was by no means the case.
His liabilities, almost all of which were for
advertising, amounted to $l80,O0 and just
prior to his departure for Europe he realized
from the sale of some of his real estate and the
returns of his Buchu about 800, 900. With this
safe in his pocket he departed. The property
so sold was worth nearly 100000, or $40, 900
more than all his immediate and impending
indebtedness.
His trademark is at present valued at $780,
900. This ne retains, and his brother continues
to manufacture under it in Philadelphia.
1t will he noticed that we do not include his
other property Of various descriptions; it is
sufficient to show by these few items that he
was worth at the time he failed $500, 900 in i'm
mediately available assets from these alone,
and that he cleared out with $l0O, 900 in cash
in his pocket, leaving behind him trademark
worth 100000 more, and a business, now
carried on by his brother, worth probably from
$4,000 to $4,000 per annum-but unattach-
able.
Mr.. H. T. Helmbold was curious combina-
tion of knave and fool, with decided prepon-
derance of the latter.
The palatial drug store on Broadway has been
sold out, at the instance of Messrs. Griffin &
Hoffman, of the Baltimore Advertising Agency.
1t brought little or nothing, as the mans per-
sonal vanity had induced him to impress his
individuality in such manner on everything
in it that the articles were of little or no use to
persons whose initials were not H. T. H.
1t is quite to the credit of Messrs. Griffin &
Hoffman that, notwithstanding heavy losses in
this case and several others, they have always
been prompt to nicely in discharging their
obligations to the army of publishers through
out the country, with whom they enjoy init
mate and extensive relations.

GF "How helpless the Indian babe, born
without shelter, amidst storm and ice but fear
nothing for him. God has placed near him a
guardian angel, that can triumph over the severi-
ties Of nature; the sentinel of maternity is by
his side, and SO long AS his mother breathes he is
safe The squaw loves her child with instinc-
tive passion, and if she does not manifest it by
lively caresses, her tenderness is real, wakefuI
and constant. No savage mother ever trusted
her babe to hireling nurse, nor ever put away
her own child to suckle that of another. To the
cradle, consisting of light wood, and gaily orna-
mented with The quills Of the porcupne, and
beads, and rattles, the nursing is frmly attach
ed and carefully wrapped in furs; and the in
fant thus swathed, its back TO the mothers back,
is borne as the ,opmost burden, its eye now
cheerfully flashing light now accompanying
with tears the wailings which the plaintive melo-
dies Of the carrier cannot hush. Or, while the
squaw tolls in the field, she hangs her child, as
spring does her blossoms, on the bough Of a tree
that it may be rocked by the breezes from the
land Of soils, and soothed TO sleep by the lullaby
OF the birds. Does the mother die, The uursng
such is Indian compassion-shaFes her grave"

TIE CAMEL's HuMP.-Modern research has
determined curious circumstance Of an or
ganic coDtrivsnce in the camel and leech un-
like, as they are in structure, function, and
habits, which has reference to supplying them
with food from stereholses in their own bodies
till supplies are attainable from other sources.
The hump is an immense collection of fat
stored in reticulated cells piled one upon an
other which is concentrated food. When fod-
der cannot be had as frequently occurs on their
long caravan travels in the desert peculiar
set of absorbent vessels drawn upon the maga-
zine-the hump-carrying the fat into circula-
ton till food without puts stop to the draft on
the back. The hump is very sensibly dimin-
ished at times even being almost completely
leveled, but that which was thus borrowed to
sustain life temporarily is Immediately replaced
when the stomach is set in motion again in its
accustomed manner.
The medical leech. or blood sucker, low as it
is in the organic scale of lie, is as carefully
provided for in regard to the contingencies Of
life as the king of the country. AS the blood
passes down the gullet of the leech, the current
divides right and left to enter two lateral tubes,
instead of entering directly into the stomach.
These channels are folded, zigzsg, backward and
forward in loops as it we're, from the head to
the tail. When perfectly filed, the leech lets
60 its hold. 1t is then plump and full with
stock of food on hand that may ordinarily last
from one to two years, in case it has no oppor-
tunity TO take in another in that long time.

ruK LAnnrsr WoxAr1srHr WonLn.-A COLOR

The LARGEST WOMAN IN THE WoRLD.-A color
ed woman, probably the largest and heaviest
person of her sex in the world. died in st. Louis
a few days ago at the age of ffty-one years.
She weighed between nine hundred and one
thousand pounds. Her dimensions were FIVE
feet ten inches in height twenty-eight inches
across the shoulders, and thirty-seven inches
across the hips. Her arms were thirty inches
in circumference. When she had been arrayed
in burial vestments it was found impossible
for seven men TO lift her. Finally the box was
tilted on one side and she was rolled in, while
the priest ehanted the service Of the dead. -
She was then placed in a large wagon which
proceeded slowly to the cemetery. The wagon
was backed up to the grave, and eight msn and
six rollers combined their exertions 70 lower
her into her narrow bed

involves eating TOO nr''"h more 'ha" 49,
-iU,- tIe supports -. 4o !. ~ ahu
the reason for th.. =, the organs of taste, which
are our guides in mis- matter, are not allowed
sufficient voice, they are not allowed sufficient
time to take cofnixance of the presence of food
ere it is pushed past them into the recesses of
the stomach. They do not, therefore, have op-
portunity to represent the real need of the sys-
tenn, and hence allow the crowdng of the
stomach. I hold that thirty minutes should
be spent at each meal, and spent. too, in chew
ing the food good portion of the time and not
in continued putting in and swallowing, but in
pleasant chat and laugh, instead of the con-
tinuance OF the intense nervous pressure of the
Office or library. If you lay out to spend thirty
minutes in this way at your meals, you may
rest assured you will not eat too much and that
what you do eat will be in the best condition
for appropriation to the needs of the system.

The Poison T0LLey.

The traveller LOudon gives the following in
teresting account Of the famous poisonous valley
in the island Of Java. "We took with US some
dogs and fowls to try experiments ia this poison
Gus hollow. When within q few
yards of the valley we experienced strong,
nauseous smell, but in coming close to its edge
this dsagreeable odor left US. The valley ap-
peared to be about half mile in circumference,
oval, and the depth from thirty to thirty-five
feet the bottom quite fat no vegetation and
the whole covered with the skeletons of human
beings, tigers, pigs deer, peacock, and all sorts

he fell on his back, did not move his limbs or

We then sent in another or rather be got loose
and walked into where the other dog was lying.
He then stood quite STILL and in ten minutes fell
on his face and never afterward moved his limbs
He continued to breathe seven minutes. We now
tried fowl which died in a minute and half.

the tree, but not, A. it seems, in regard to the
deadliness Of place Nor was this latter exag-

be merely the overoading of the air with carbonic

that it can be dissipated in the air, though ihe
