Assistant L. S. Attorney G. Canning
Smith, a lawyer of repute, former pubic
school teacher and gentleman of great
personal refinement aud culture, fell vic
tim to the cause of humanity, a victim OF
yellow fever, in Memphis on the 18th inst,
When the fever first made its appearance
he volunteered as q nurse, and told the
writer Of this he intended to close his Office
and give himself altogether to the good
work. He did 50, and the result, after
nursing several cases, severe cases, Is his
own death. Memphis has, happily for her
reputation, many such men as Mr.. smith,
but not so many that she could spare him.
A willing end cheerful worker, man OF a
high degree of intelligence, he brought to
all the work given him in life the
most pains-taking and labOrious investiga-
ton, and a will OF iron. He knew nothing
| but duty.

Cider Vinegar.

We have often been surprised at the
great haste exhibited by many orchardists
10 dispose of their cider as soon as It comes
from the mill, when there is no product
OF the farm that so increases in value with
age as cider In the fall of 1870 we bought
a barrel Of cider for three dollars and put il
into dry cellar with the bung open.
There 1t lay year, and on examining it.

The Forehead.

The upright forehead, with its vari-
Gus notifications of squareness and
partial curving, generally denotes the
sound and noble understanding, as OPP
posed to the retreating form, which in
dicates the precise reverse. A merely
high forehead does not, however, al
ways imply a good forehead for the
form, proportion, sloping, height, arch
ing, and position Of the bone of the
forehead, are tests of the mental power
and character. Even the color and
smoothness of the skin, together with
the lines of the wrinkles, must be taken
into account, for they express the pas
sions and state of the mind. A perfect
forehead should be one-third of the
whole face, or equal to the nose in
height, the covering skin clearer than
the rest of the face, and smooth and
free from wrinkles, yet have the power
of wrinkling in deep thought, anger,
or pain. A forehead, to be perfect,
should be, when seen in the profile,
neither too arch nor too square, neither
too upright nor too retreating. The
higher the forehead, the more compre-
hension and less activity. The more
compressed, ulli, anu eHolU VI hoV wv
short the more concentrated and firm
the character. The more curved the
top, the more gentle and flexible the
character while the less curved-that
is the more square the top, the more
determination, perseverance, and stern
ness. If the forehesd is perfectly up
right from the eyebrows to the roots of
the hair, there will be a deficient I'M
derstanding while projecting fore
head will denote imbecility, immature
ty, weakness, or stupidity, accordingly
as modified by the other features. On
the other hand, the upright forehead
which is gently arched at the top de-
notes calm, cold, deep thinker.

DepredatiOns OF Wild Beasts in India.

While the British Government is con-
sidering the red tape proposals for the
extirpation of wild beasts in India, the
beasts themselves, disdaining convoca-
ton or legislation, keep right on eating
up the natives with their characteristic
and hereditary energy. Indeed, the
inhabitants of the border land between
the jungles and civilization are in a
state of constantly increasing peril,
living in constant fear, yet not daring
to get away The English report on the
ravages OF wild beasts states that a
single tigress caused the destruction of
thirteen villages and threw out of Guilt
walton 256 square miles of country
around. Along the Nallai Mallai forest
they obstruct surveying parties, and are
especially destructive to life. There
are five of special distinction, one of
which has lunched off 100 persons. 1t
is proposed, and the proposition is a
good one, that the Indian Government
pay handsome reward for cubs. The
tigress keeps her whelps by her side for
two years, and if she is a man-eater she
will have graduated whole family of
little fiends into the service by the end
of that time. The natives regard the
man-eaters as incarnate and spiteful
divinities, whom it will not do to of
fond

A Japanese Dentist.

The japanese are very Ignorant OF
medicine and surgery. Like other peo-
pie, they have many aches and pains
and, as everybody knows, one of the
most torturing pains is an aching tooth.
In Japan, like all the rest of the world,
there are persons who now and then want
tooth pulled out and the only jap
anese contrivances for this are a'wooden
mallet and stick. The professor of
dentistry, instead of sitting in his Office
with stock of mysterious and frightful
instruments, goes travelling over the
country, carrying a box covered with
brass ornaments, and containing some
little mallets and wedges. When he
meets with person who wishes to part
company with an aching tooth, the
wedges are pressed in between the tooth
and the gum, and then forced down with
the mallet, until, by hammering and
prying, the tooth is made so loose that
it can be pulled out with the fingers.
The poor patient suffers very much.
Some times pieces of the jaw are broken
away with the teeth, and it is said the
patient dies from the wound.

How the Greenlanders Dress.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, with the Juniata expedition,
says of the Greenlanders that, to one
ignorant of their style of dress, and the
similarity of the dress of both sexes, it
would be difficult to distinguish the
man from the woman. The man combs
his hair straight down and over his
forehead, only parting it sufficiently, to
enable him to see directly ahead of him,
while the woman combs her hair in a
long plat, forming it into knot on the
top of the head, which is elevated about
four inches from the scalp, and tied
with strip of ribbon either of black,
blue, or red color-the widow being
distinguished by black ribbon, the
wife 10y the blue, and the maiden 10y the
red one. The complexion is coppery
like that of the Indian, their hair black,
and their nose fiat, while their cheek
bones are broad and prominent, nearly
hiding the nasal appendage when the
profile is presented. The kapetah, or

jumper with hood attachment, worn by
both sexes, the hood of the woman's
being made larger in which to carry the
young babe, is of seal-skin with trim
mings of dog-skin. The pantaloons
and boots are also worn by both sexes,
those of the women being in most cases
very deliberately and artistjcally trimmed.
The pantaloons of the women reach
only to the knee, while the boots, made
OF tinely-tanned seal-skin, nicely crimped
and sewed with the sinews of the deer,
make them look comfortable.

"ShOOst So Long as IL Vas"

A Chicago correspondent sends the
following: At recent trial before
Justice Dougherty, it was thought i'm
portant by the counsel to determine the
length of time certain "two quarters OF
beef, two hogs and one sheer" remained
in an express wagon in front of plain
tiff's store before they were taken away
by the defendant. The witness was a
German whose knowledge of English
was very limited, but he testified in a
very plain, straightforward way to have
carried it out and put into the aforesaid
wagon.
Then the following ensued
Counsel" State to the jury how long
it was after you took the meat from the
store and put it into the wagon before it
was taken away"
Witness-Now L cunnot tell dat. /

Useful Household Article.

Ammonia is excellent for cleaning
paint, silver and glass teaspoonful
put into the water produces wonderful
effect. Wherever there is grease to re-
move, ammonia is efficacious. Conse-
quently it is excellent for cleaning hair
brushes. Indeed, it is an almost indis-
pensable toilet article. A teaspoonful
in a basin of water makes refreshing
bath, which removes all disagreeable
odors. Plants flourish luxuriantly un-
der the administration of doses of am
monia. A few drops added to pint OF
water is harmless stimulant to their
growth, when not repeated oftener than
once a week. Ammonia should always
be kept in bottle with a glass stopper,
and the concentrated spirits should be
used with care.
