Too much care can not be exercis-

is sure to follow, is no more CONNIE.

may be regarded as a serious ques-

be the fact that the injury done to a

MILF AS MEDICINE.

The London MIR Journal says. on the au-
thority OF DR.. Benz amin Cl ark, that in the
East Indies warm milk is used to a great ex-
tent as specific for diarrhea. pint every
four hours will check the most violent diar-
rhea, stomach-ache. inc:pient cholera, and
dyseDtery. The milk should never be boiled
but only heated sufficiently to be agreeably
warm, not too hot to drink. Milk which
has been boiled is unfit for use. The writer
gives several instances to show the value of
this substance in arresting this disease,
among which is the following. The writer
says; ut has never failed in curing in six
or twelve hours. and have tried il, should
think, fifty times. l have also given it TO q

ry eight months, latterly accompanied by

gone, and in tire weeks he became a hale,
fat man, and now nothing that may hereafter
occur will ever shake his faith In hot milk.
A writer also communicates to the Medical
Times and Gazette q statement of the value

sympathetic Vibration.

We have alluded several timas to
the sympathetic vibrations of tuning
forks and other bodies when in unison
An interesting paper by Prof. Lover
ing, of Harvard. published in the
Frankling Institute Journal, describes
the similar phenomenon exhibited in
ordinary machinery when the rates of
vibration are too slow to be perceived
by the ear as musical sounds. Every
structure has definite rate of yibra-
ton depending on its size, shape and
materials, and as fixed as the funda-
mental note of musical chord. And
it will respond to external vibrations
which happen to be in unison with
it. In this way as Prof Lowering
points out, mechanical disturbances,
harmless in their origin, may become
troublesome or dangerous. When the
bridge at Cole Brook Dale (the first
iron bridge in the worldly was building,
fiddler came along, and said to the
workmen that he could fiddle the
bridge down. The builders thought
this a fiddle dee dee, and invited the
itinerant musician to fiidle away to
his hearts content One note after
another was struck upon the strings, un
til one was found with which the bridge
was in sympathy. When the bridge
began to shake violently, the Incredu-
lous workmen we're alarmed at the un-
expected result, and ordered the fiddler
to stop. The trembling of buildings
at certain deep notes (lower than the
audible musical tones) of organs; the
violent shaking of factories by the ma
chinery, when run at a certain rate,
and their comparative stability if the
rate is little slower or faster; the
great danger to bridges involved in
the regular marching of infantry over
them-are cases involving this princi,
pie. 1t is an established rule among
military men to cross bridges at trout
STEP" without keeping time, lest vibra
tions of the bridge should be 50 in
tensified as to cause its destruction.-
The careless neglect of this precau-
ton broke the suspension bridge at
Angires, in France, few years ago,
killing nearly 800 soldiers, and wound
ing many more Christian Union.

left with unimpaired vitality for the

rearing, care, and support of our
families, for the whirling of the wheels

Ma1ims in Cattle Breeding.

James N. Brown, of Illinois, was o
noted breeder of short horn cattle. and
these are some of his ideas:
Use pure blOoded males. Keep no
more stock than you can keep we'll
and the young should always be i'm
proved. Never sell the butcher or
anybody else your thriftiest young
females. Calves should be dropped
from the Ist of March to the 1st Of
May.
Never allow calves to run with
their dams and suck at will; it Injuries
both.
Milk the young COWS as long as pos
sihle.
Ali cattle breeders should have two
pastures for summer grazing, and
change the stock from one 60 the 9TH
er frequently.
Land intended for winter grazing
should not be grazed in midsummer.
The summer growth is needed for
winter production.
To render stock growing profita-
BILE as it should be. good grass for
winter and summer is indispensable.

The Model of Powers Greek
Slave.

The announcement of the death of
the sculptor Powers recalls the circum-
stances surrounding the modelling of
the Greek Slave. There was an Amer
ican gentleman of great wealth who
had beauteous daughter, beauteous
in form as in feature and character,
but not content with this treasure he
added to his household second wife
Many persons will remember in Paris,
about thirty years ago, an old man
grieVing for the loss of faithful wife
and fortune that disappeared with
her. Father and daughter, in their
poverty and distress, took up a tenn
porary residence iu Florence, and
these met Hiram Powers. Out of
love for the destitute father, whose
sufferings from want she had no
means to relieve, the daughter consent
ed to become the model for the Greek
Slave. Friends and relations recog-
nize the likeness in the beautiful statute
to the original. But that the lady,
who is still living and is the mother of
charming daughters, might be recog-
nized, this episode could be dwelt up
on and the romance of her life contin-
ued, but it would seem like sacrilege
to write anything that would lift the
veil of secrecy from an act that was
the highest proof of filial devotion
that modest maiden ever gave to her
father
The original Greek Slave became
the property of Mr.. w. w. Corcoran,
and as by him been given, together
with his private gallery of paintings,
to the Cocoran Art Gallery, of Wash
ington, D. G. Another of Powers
masterpieces which would perpetuate
his fame should all his otner works
perish is the bust of Proserpine, own
ed by and now the chief ornament in
the parlor of Mr.. Ten Brock, of
Hurstbourne, near Louisville, Ken
tucky.
