Orders for tickets in the Fourth Gift
Concert are pouring in at rate never
heard of before in the history of gift
concerts. They come from every State
and Territory and foreign countries.
In Governor Bramlett's office yester-
day we saw five letters with five differ
ent foreign postmarks on them, inclos-
ing orders and currency for tickets.
We were shown one order from a bank
in one OF the large cities on the Pacific
coast, for $4,000 worth of tickets. These
are the legitimate fruits of the fairness,
honesty and integrity of the past draw
ings, and the promptness with which
all gifts offered have been paid. That
every ticket will be sold, the manage
ment feel assured and what a grand
distribution there will be clone mill
lion and half dollars to the ticket
holders! Every ticketholder stands
all equal chance for II grand fortune.
All who intend to invest should pur-
chase tickets at once and before the
press of business comes on the main
office.
This is the only gift enterprise sane
toned by legislative enactment in the
United States, and the most magnif
cent scheme ever offered to the world.

A FREDERICK, Maryland, woman was
directed to use glycerine for n child
that was suffering from q slight affec-
ton of the skin. The mother faithfully
followed the directions, applied the
glycerine as ordered, and the infant
shortly afterward falling asleep, was
put in its crib while the mother at
tended to her household duties.
Returning in about an hour, she was
Mortified to find the child's face black
and its breath almost stopped. Snatch
ingup the babe, the mother discovered
that flies In great numbers, attracted
by the glycerine, had covered the
child's mouth and nostrils, and even
crawled into its throat. In her alarm
and excitement she wiped off as many
as she could with her apron, and with
her apron, and with her fingers and
spoon cleared ont It's mouth and
throat, when, finding its breath grow
ing weaker, she dashed water over its
face, and fortunately succeeded in
restoring animation, and rescued it
from horrible death.

The sO-called lettuce soap does not con-

this and other soaps are colored by ses-

tain thirty per cent ofinsoluble matter,
as lime orplaster; while others contain
animal heterogeneous matter which, ha
ing escaped the process of saponifics
tion, emits Il bad odor when its soll-
ton is left exposed to the air. The v,
rious toilet vinegars afo al 0 declared
in this paper to be SO far loXious that,
being applied to the skin stu impreg-

rise to decomposition, in consequtSce
of which-the fatty acids of soap, being
insoluble in water, are not removed by
washing, become rancid, and cause
chronic inflammation of the skin.

Kickapoos have maintained them-

A curious phenomena is connected
with the destruction of the barn of Mr.
Nathan Nyc nj West Sandwich, Mass,
on the 18th alt. The lightning stroke
was seen by man about half u mile
distant, who states that when within
about twenty degrees the bolt appeared
to change, and looked as if fire was
being poured from a bucket, and waved
itself to the barn, entered, and imme-
diately the who barn was in flames.
Afterward, among-the ruins, about a
barrel of greenish looking porous, hut
extremely hard substance, was found
seat. cred about, principally in one cor
ner. There was nothing about the
barn to melt into and form such u
peculiar, lava-like matter and il is sup
posed to have descended with the
lightning. A fragment has been sent
to Prof. Agassiz for examination.

The brains of idiots have usually
been found quite small-oflen less than
the ordinary weight, and in some in
stances less than fourth. But in
list of crania, contained in recent
work by DR.. Flint, one idiot is shown
to have brain that weighed "a ounces;
two Others had brains weighing little
more than As ounces; the brain OF
another, of "the lowest degree of intel
ligence," 1856, al d that of zone below
the condition of q brute" 44.3, or less
than four ounces below the normal
weight of the human brain. The
cranial cavity was measured by Morton
in G23 instances; the largest IA cubic
inches was that of a German; the
smallest, that of an Australian, only 5S
cubic inches high.

TEST 0r'Ebiukiuc.

The test of real vigorous thinking,
the thinking which ascertains truths
insterd of dreaming dreams, is success
ftll application to practice. When the
purpose dose not exist to give definite
ness, precision and ineligible mean
ing to thought, it generates nothing
better than the mystical metaphysics
of the pythagoreans or the Vedas.
With rspect to practical improvement,
the ease lis still more evident. The
character which improves human life
is that which struggles with natural
powers and tendencies, not that which
gives way to them. The selfdenying
qualities are all ON the side of the ac-
tive and vigorous character.-[John
