Camph0r rs 4 Medicine.

The Scientific American lectures
those people who make frequent use of
camphor rs a medicine. It says: The
physiological action Of camphor is not
yet understood but, Judging by the
symptoms that follow the taking of u
moderate dose, it may be called a
nervous stlmulant. It is somewhat like
opium and alcohol therefore, in its
action when given in small quantities ;
but. when taken in large doses, it
causes excessive irritation to the
nervous system, producing commissions
and death. Camphor nets to irrltate
and congest and finally to infame the
mucous lining Of the stomach, causing
in the miller cases form of dyspepsia,
and in the moro aggravated, liberation
of the stomach. From these two actions
namely, THAT of the nervous stimu
liant and local irritation-come all til.
good and evil of it's use. We can, there
fore, readily see how unsuited this drul
is to be household remedy.

The Great Storm OF August, 1873.

The great storm which swept over a
portion of the Gulf of St. Lawrence
and the Atlantic shores of Nova Scotia,
Cape Breton and Newfoundland on the
Oath and 25th of August last, destroy
ed q grand total Of 1922 vessels. OF
these 435 were small fishing schooners,
but in the list all sor,s OF vessels are
enumerated. Two hundred and twen-
ty-three lives are definitely reported as
lost, and the most moderate estimate
of the numerous cases in which whole
crews are stated to have been lost,
swells this number to nearly five hun
dred. If to this be added the loss of
life on land and in the earlier move.
ments Of the cyclone, the grand total
amounts at least to six hundred lives.
The records also show that about nine
hundred buildings were injured or to.
tally destroyed. Some of the marine
towns of Now England suffered terr,
bly, by this disaster. Boats were lost,
lives sacrificed, and capital sunk to a
most disastrous extent.

A Lonely Duel.
From the st. Joseph (Mo. ).1icrald.

from the ~. Joseph \MO.)'ficIaIu.
A duel without witnesses WAS fought
recently in Taney county, near the
county seat of Forsythe. John Go
forth aud Simon Melville went out to
hunt deer. Each was armed with the
old-fashioned squirrel rifle. Goforth
said to Melville: ]" I hear that you have
been lying on me-" "What did you
hear l said p asked Melville. "That
I had been beating my wife," "And
80 you have, replied Melville. "Those
who told it lied; and when You re-
peated it you lied; and you knew at
the time you were lying" These were
pretty plain words, and they brought
about some pretty plain shooting.
Both men agreed to step off thirty
yards each, wheel at the word, and fire
Immediately after wheeling. They did
10. Melville, when he had measured
off his thirty steps, called out !:
"Wheel |" and both men, turned and
fred. Goforth was shot in the right
arm and Melville IN the right shoulder.
They managed, however, to walk into
Forsythe, where physician extracted
both balls, and consoled (4oforth with
the information that unless he was
very careful he might have to cut his
arm off. This version of the case
agrees in the main with the stories ol
both men.

real as all this-that she was gone
couldn't understand, though they told
me again and again that she was dead,
and been put in the cold ground two
days before.
At last, though, it all seemed to
come home to me, and l sat there.
think, tor three days, doing nothing
hardly but look. At the end of those
three days, my manager came to hunt
me up, and took mo back with him in
a cab, and he always was trump to
me, though never was the same man
again, while p'raps it was all for the
best that poor Mary went, for it saved
her many O heartache and no end of
poverty.
1t was about a year after she died
that I was doing clown for the trip,
making faces and saying funny things
over and over again, night after night,
when, while I was dong half dozen
somersaults running, put one foot on
a piece of orange peel. 1can't tell you
anything more about it, sir, only that
I left that town cripple. I get soft if
] think much about il, for I'm afraid
was very proud of what I was as man.
It's dangerous life, sir, but in a
struggle for living man must run
risks, and besides, you've risks in all
trades. But really, you know, there's
! q fatal accident in half Of the feats and
scenes as you pay your money to see in
a circus; though we takes SO much
care and practice So hard that we gen.
orally keep the accidents at a distance.
Only one more scene after the elephant
comes of, ard then down tent, and a
bit of sleep, and be off. Strange life,
amt it sirs Artificial, too; but there's
q real side to it; and-there, do you
hear that2 that's ono of my boys calling
me. There he's peeping around the
corner and giving me the cue in a loud
whisper. "Father," he says; ah and
I like the sound of that word-seems
to warm up ones heart; but there's
always q corner that I keep for the
recollections of one thing; and that is,
Having it Real.

Impulse ON the Steam Gauge.

If steam gauge runs up or down
momcntarily for few seconds, it is no
proof that tho steam pressure has in
creased or diminished corresponding
amount. The material of which q
pressure gauge is made has inertia,
and sudden impulse may drive it be-
yond the figure indicating the true
pressure. 1t acts like q water column
in tube, in which the water, by sudden
admission from below, may be thrown
up beyond the true level, but in a few
seconds 1T will come back to the right
place. I Turning on yonr steam sudden
~ may give an impulse to vour gauge
which drives its im.li,.tor beyond the
true figure, but it soon settles where il
ought to be.-LumLc,naun's Guzctte.
